skowhegan,s Sensation Again.

AUBURN, April 26.-Lawyer E. n. Mer-
rill of Skowhegan appeared before Judge
Whitehouse yesterday, and, as counsel
for Mrs. E. P. Coffin, filed papers in the
Androscoggin supreme courts for a
divorce from Mr.. E. P. Coffin. The
curious story of Mr.. and Mrs. Coffin's
life has already been told. He was
secretly married in the New Hampshire
hills seven years ago to Miss Belle Law
ton. The couple then returned to their
respective homes in Skowhegan, she to
take charge of her widowed father S
house, he to a successful career at the
bar. For seven years they lived separate,
and no one in the town suspected the
marriage. Mr.. Coffin went a great deal
into society. was attentive to number
of young ladies, and was much sought
by mothers with manageable daughters.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Coffin severed his
connection with the law firm, and left
town. The disclosure of his marriage.
coming soon after his departure, was the
sensation of the day.

EnIoe Calls Raum a Liar.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-.'You are z
| liar" said Representative Enloe today
after Commissioner Raum had denied
| stating to Mr.. Enioe something that Mr.
| Enloe insisted the commissioner had saio
to him during the proceedings of the
pension office investigating committee
and with the utterance of these
| words he sprang towards the commits
sioner, who was seated just across the
table, to do Mr.. Raurn physical violence
Other members of the committee seized
the Tennessee representative and pre-.
vented blows being exchanged.
Commissioner Raum hastily got on his
feet and prepared for an attack. The
members forcibly restrained Enloe ano
there was scene of disorder, Enloe en-.
deavoring to break away.
Commissioner Raum was excited and
exclaimed that he wanted no personal
difficulty but feared no man, which caused
renewal of Enloe's attempt to get al
him.
The commissioner in a moment picked
up his hat and left the room, while his
colleagues finally succeeded in partly
calming the prosecutor and getting him
to take his seat. After some brief ex-
preston of regret and explanation, the
committee, as the best way out of the
affair, took a hasty adjournment. No
actual blows were struck.
A Message From the President.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The President
has sent message to the Senate stating
that in his opinion it would not be COM
patible with the public interest to lay
before it at this time the
correspondence requested by it's resolu-
tion of April 29d concerning the steps
taken towards securing an international
conference to consider the question of
the free coinage or enlarged use of silver.
He says he will do SO at the earliest
moment after definite information can
be properly given. He adds:> Believing
the full use of silver as coin metal upon
an agreed ratio by the great commercial
nations of the world would very highly
promote the prosperity of all their peo-
pie, have not and will not let any favor
able opportunity pass for the promotion
of that most desirable result or, if free
international silver coinage is not pre-
sently attainable then to secure the
largest practicable use of that metal.'
Free Lumber Bill Possible.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-Two more
free list bills have been practically agreed
upon by the Democratic majority Of the
ways and means committee and were
brought before full committee at to-
days meeting, but owing to a desire OH
the part of the Republican minority of
the committee to look further into the
measures before their report to the House
no final action was taken. The two bills
to be reported relate to lumber and silver
and lead ores and it is proposed to make
each free of duty. The majority is not
absolutely determined to report the free
lumber bill but there is reason to believe
that such a conclusion will be reached at
the next meeting.

Hon. A. r. Savage VIII Preside and
Congressman MiIliken Will Speak.
Especial to the Press.l
BANGOR, April 26.-The delegates to
the state convention are arriving tonight
in considerable numbers. The members
of the state committee met this evening
to arrange the preliminaries of the con-
vention and transact other business.
Among this business was the esignation
of Colonel F. N. Dow from the tate
committee and the election of Mr.. E.
Dudley Freeman to fill his place. Mr..
Freeman has the general goodwill of all
of the Cumberland delegates present, but
the manner of his selection, for which
by the way, he does not seem to be re-
sponsible, meets with much criticism.
Colonel Dow's position as member of
the state committee from Cumberland
becoming untenable, he announced some
time ago his intention to resign. The
date, however, he kept secret, and the
announcements that he had resigned and
that he had procured the appointment of
Mr. Freeman, was a surprise to all of the
Cumberland men here. Inasmuch as
Mr.. Dow's position as a member of the
state committee had become untenable
on account of his hostility to Congress
man Reed, it had been assumed that his
successor would not be selected until
there had been free and full consulta-
tion of Republicans, and that Mr.. Reed
and his friends should participate in that
n Itr1t Nr,i Il II
proper, inasmuch as the management of
the coming campaign will be of as much
interest to them as to Mr.. Dow personal
ly. Mr.. Dow is, therefore, much criti-
cised for going ahead and settling the
matter for Cumberland county on his
own responsibility and without even let
ting his associates at the convention here
know what he was going to do. The
criticisms of Mr.. Dow do not
extend to Mr.. Freeman, who
does not seem to have had much notice
of the honor intended for him under the
arrangement. This action practically
dictates the selection of the manager of
the campaign next fall as the man whom
the state convention would select next
June will not take Office until next
january.
Mr.. Dow, in performing this piece of
political work, acted under the precedent
of the state committee which, usually
assumes that a resigning Committeeman
will name his successor, but it is usually
customary in such cases for the Repub-
licans of a county to be consulted. Mem
bers of the state committee here say they
had no idea but what there had been
such consultation. They simply acted
as the matter was brought before them.

From all over the State come ex-
pressions of satisfaction in regard TO
the working of the new election law
and unqualified approval of its main
features. Only one cause of COM
plant has been heard in the way of
Effectiveness. That is, a blind man,
or one otherwise physically incapaci-
tated to make out his ticket, is dis
franchised, and this is plainly unjust.
A good, intelligent citizen of Elmore
county, an old gentleman whose eye

tally blind, but nevertheless could

not soc sufficiently clear to make out
his ticket, requested the judges to
mark it as he dictated. This the
Judges proceeded to do, thinking
that they would be sustained in such
! just act, although il was contrary 70
an unjust provision Of the law. An
outside party objected. however, and
the Judges refrained from carrying
out their intention. This was only
one instance out Of many. Many old
men whose eyesights have failed can
not correctly mark . ticket. A
young man with keen sight has to
keep on sharp lookout TO avoid
mistakes. Provision ought to be
made for such cases. Sworn Judges
Of different political parties could be
trusted to make out tickets for those
physically incapacitated. Some even
go SO far as to contend that the
Judges ought TO be given additional
authority to make out tickets for
those who cannot read, as dictated
by the illiterate voter. However, on
this, there will be differences OF op:n-
ion. Illiteracy ought to be discous-
aged, and there is NO better. surer or
quicker way to lessen it ard make a
man who cannot read curiosity on
account of the rarity Of such instan-
ces Of illiteracy, than to disfrsnchise
such voters. There is no excuse for
any man being unable to read. Let
him only express desire to learn
and dozens of his friends will quickly
volunteer to teach him without pay
and gladly. The dullest can learn te
read and write in few weeks. In.
stead Of such provision being nm
Just, it would be for their especia
benefit, and indirectly benefit to tht
nation, for our government is founded
more on the intelligence OF it
citizens than on any other on'
thing Illiterate citizens would learr
to read, and what they would b.
forced to acquire in order to retal'
their citizenship, they would prlz'
higher than wealth, and when &C
quired they would praise such
provision as having been friend i
disguise. Tie law ought to b
amended SO that the first class men
toned above can vote, and even
the illiterate class were included tn
law would be better than it is now.

ON the 60o-foot level of the Wolver-

breaks tagging and 14xl4 inch caps.
The mill will shut down in a few

again this winter. 1t will require
some time yet TO complete the sta
ton, and after that will have to drift
for the ore chute and put the mine
