in the supreme judicial court-this action of
Emma A. Burton ct ais. VS.. Mary E. Farnum.
seven OF the eight children of the late
Charles tarnum of Pittsfield bring thic action
10 recover from the defendant, the second
VIE o. their father, the home farm. The
plaintlns read a deed to their father and
snow snow mat that they are his children and stop.
urue defendant reads a deed from Charles
rarnam to her, dated April 10, 1884, and
stops. The plaintiffs said, True, your deed
Is ID proper form, but was fraudnlently pro-
cured; the grantor was not of sound mind
and was unduly influenced"
The evidence showed that the heirs, all but
one son, Charles, took the marriage of the
father unkindly and were not on visiting
terms with the father or step-mother, and
that the defendant took good care of Farnum
till his death.
As an episode in the case, the witness,
Charles 5. Taylor, from Palermo, told his
story. He went to work on the farm in
question some time after Mr.. Farnum's death
and made love as ne thought with the widow,
some twenty years his senior. He said they
We're affianced, though he shuddered at the
term, till it was explained to mean nothing
but an engagement of marriage. There was
evidence that he did ride about the country
with her, ito soften the asperities of hay
making" and, as he says, she in confidence
revealed the arts by which she persuaded the
old man to make her almost his sole heir.
The widow afterwards Tilted him and mar
lied an old man with a greater disparity of
years, but well TODD financially. Taylor be.
came disconsolate, sued her for breach of
promise, and as witness in this reveals her
secrets. The defendant stoutly denied that
she was ever engaged to Mr.. Taylor.

The inaugural address of the Governor of
Massachusetts, though dealing principally
with questions of interest to the people of
his State only, is in one point worthy the
attention of the people of Maine. Gov.
Bracket adds to the universal testimony of
the press of the State as to the excellent
workings of the Australian system of voting.
He says that the elections "haye demon
strated the great advantages of the new
method of voting" Governor Ames before
his retirement gave testimony as strong in
favor OF the system. But Governor Brack-
EFT goes a step farther than simple approval
OF the system. He gives the principle his
highest confidence. and unhesitatingly rec
ommends that 1t be applied 10 the party
caucnses as well. Massachusetts has al.
ready made an attempt to regulate caucuses
by law, and in Governor Brackets opinion
the extension of the principles of the new
system will result in still further approxi-
nation to the order and decorum which
every good citizen desires to prevail in the
caucuses. The plan which Gov. Bracket
recommends is not an untried one, however.
In one of the wards of Boston the Republi-
cans tried 1t at the time of the last city pri-
maries with very pleasing results. The eau
Gus lasted all day, as an election does. Men
went in and expressed their preferences by
marking caucus ballots. A business man
could drop into the caucus on his way home
to dinner, express his choice and 20 his way.
Only one or two men were required to remain
all day to attend to the check list and the
ballot box. Such caucus 1t is impossible to
pack, and it is so orderly and so convenient
that all classes of citizens are likely to
attend. And these conditions are highly
conducive to party harmony, enthusi-
asm and strength, although the few gentle
men who manage the Boston caucuses as
profession are of course against Gov.
Brackets suggestion. In Maine 1t will be
time enough to think of attending to the
caususes when the Massachusetts, system
has been put to working successfully in the
elections. 1t would be only in few of the
large cities that any change In the caucus
system would be desirable. For any small
places the present system is most conven-
lent, and does its work very well as there is
rarely any attempt at fraud or disturbance.
IN some OF the cities a change might be de-
slrable. There has been an attempt by the
Legislature to regulate caucuses in Portland,
though Portland no more needs such a law
than Bangor or Lewiston, but the Portland
law has never been invoked, either because
II is not efficient or because the evils which
Its passage have not appeared Extensively
since.

CAPTAIN JOHN ThuRLo.
The Fist President OF the Marine
Society.
A Letter from Hon. william
Coold.

To the Editor of the Press:
see by your issue of Friday that Presi-
dent Chase of the Marine Society, in his ad
dress, says he can learn but little of Captain
John Thurlo, the first president of the So
ciety elected in 1896.
AS have some memoranda, which | re-
ceived from his family years ago, l send
some facts to you for the benefit of the ven-
cradle organization.
John Thurlo was born in Norfolksbire,
England in 1888. Just when he came to Fall
mouth Neck, am unable to tell. In 176l he
married Rebecca, daughter of John Wait,
senior. by whom he had eight children
Captain Thurlo was master mariner and
owned house on Fore street next below the
north corner Of India street. When Mowatt
burnt the town in October, 1775, Captain
Thurlc was returning from voyage with
his sloop katy Ann" built in Connecticut.
He spoke coaster from whom he learned of
the disaster, and the risk from cruisers. He
made harbor near Point Judith, R. l.,
where he left his vessel and with his negro
boy Duncan Forbes he walked to Falmouth,
carrying bag of gold, the proceeds of his
outward cargo. Captain Thurlo found his
house burnt, and his family scattered.
Their daughted Hannah was five days old,
only at the burning, wher the mother fled
from her burning house. The family finally
with the Waits, built house near Pride's
bridge where they remained until after the
war, when Capt. Thurlo rebuilt his house on
Fore street. Here some of his children lived
until the fire of 1866, when this same daugh-
ter Hannah, then 81 years old was again car
ried from the house on the same home lot to
place OF safety She died within year
from that time.
Capt. Thurlo was considered the best pilot
OF the town when there was not a light
house nor bouy to guide the mariner to the
harbor: He piloted the ship Grand Turk of
Salem in distress, to her anchorage in the
harbor in the winter of 1898. She was from
Canton and had been five months on the vow
age. Capt. ThurlO undoubtedly piloted In
the French frigate la Sensiblei in IT'S,
which brought the treaty from the French
king acknowledging our Independence. In
lbs capt. Ihnrlo was appointed by the gov
eminent TO take the American commissioners
ana surveyors from Boston to Halifax, and
tnen wlkp-tne British commissioners 10 the
-Sf5ix.
Capt. Thurlo died in 1906 aged 67. His
grave stone of slate is prominent one in
about the center of the old burying ground.
The name is extinct here, but there are three
granddaughters In the city /; two of which,
Miss Mary Ann Wait and Miss Ellen Lewis
are 80 years old or more. Thomas Lewis
Thurlo's son-in-law, built house on the old
nome lot which is yet standing. w. G.

the Republicans carried the legislature, and
he appears to be anxious for it now, though
its value is small. Mr. Halstead is vigorous

reason is not quite clear. The most serious
charges brought against him are that he is

From the school children up, Americans

historic people called the Mound Builders
occupied portion of this country before the
red men. In Ohio their mounds exist in con.
siderable numbers, and on these mounds and
in them have been found many relics of the
so-called prehistoric peoples. But in the
January number of the Forum magazine
Major John v. Powell, director of the Uni
TED States Geological Survey, sets forth some
opinions that must shake the prevailing
faith in the mound builders. 1t has long
passed unquestioned that the implements,
pottery and rudely carved pictures found in
the mounds belong to higher order of art
than the North American Indians were cana
BILE of. But Major Powell says that when
collected into the same museums, the relics of
the alleged mound builders and the relics of
the Indians are found to be Identical, so far
as the order of art is concerned. "The mound
builders art and the Indians art are found
to be substantially Identical" says Major
Powell. mo fragment of evidence remains
