According to This Story the Bordel
Murderer Was a Sailor.

Murderer Was Sailor.
SPRINGFIELD, o., June 17.-Charles II.
Berry, we'll known real estate man and
politician, is likely to play an important
part in solving the mystery which hangs
over the great Borden murder at New
Bedford. Last October. a-stranger came
to this city and sought Berry, who then
ran an employment agency, for work.
Berry's kind treatment gained the fell
lows confidence and he confided to him
that he had murdered the Bordens for
revenge, also that he was sailor. This
sustains the theory that the murder was
committed by sailor for some wrong
inflicted on his father by Borden many
years ago. The fellow wanted to give
himself up, but finally disappeared.
Berry had forgotten the incident until
he saw an account of the mysterious in
dividual who related similar story to a
barber in New Jersey, and the descrip-
ton given tallies with the man who
called on Berry. a''

TWO MORE MURDERERS.
Felix Borden and q Sailor Appear in
the Famous Case.
FELIX RESEMBLES THE STRANGE
YOUNG MAN.

The Sailor Seems to Make a Business Of
Telling People He Committed tho Mur-
der-suspicion Is Cast Upon Felix by
the Story Of Baltimore womsn and
It Is Pretty Far Fetched suspicion.
NEW YORK, June 1S.--The Worlds
special from Baltimore says that Mrs.
Ramsay, who keeps boarding house at
1888 ST. Paul street, says that previous to
the Borden murders boy came from
New England and boarded with her. He
told her he was the adopted son of Lizzie
Borden's uncle. His name was Felix
Borden. He said his parents' name was
Desroches. From all accounts he didnot
live happily with the Berdens and as q
result of a disagreement with them he
left home suddenly. Felix told Mrs.
Ramsay that his homo was In New Bed
ford or Fall River. He spent money freely
but did not pay his board bill and left,
saying he was going to his home in Mas
sachusetts to get the money to settle. A
few days after Felix left the Borden muir
to Baltimore and on one occasion
sion Mrs. Ramsay spoke to him about
the murders. She says he replied: .'Oh,
Lizzie did itr' Asked if the young man
was ever heard to make any threatening
remarks about the Bordens of Massachu-
setts, Mrs. Ramsay said: During the two
years Felix lived here, he spoke fre-
quently of ithe Bordens and, judging
from his remarks, did not think he
cared very much for them. He referred,
I remember, on one occasion, to some
old woman up there and did not speak in
very complimentary terms of her. ]
judged from his remarks that he had
quarreled with his people before he came
here, although he never told me the par
ticulars.'' e
Mrs. Ramsay said the young man was
medium sized fellow with dark hair.
When he left he was 81 years old. His
description, it is said, tallies with that
given by several witnesses in the Borden
trial Thursday, who said they saw a
strange young man at the Borden gate en-
the morning Of the murder. Young Bor-
den left Baltimore last fall and has not
been heard of there since.

70 BowDoin SENIORS.
The BaccalaureAte Sermon Preached BY
President Hyde.

BRuNswTcK, June 1s.-President
Hyde delivered the baccalaureate SER
mon before the senior class today. The
following is an abstract.
But when he came to himself he said, will
arise and 90 to my father Luke xv., 17-1s.
Thcre are three stages in the spiritual
life of man; world consciousness, self
consciousness, and God-consciousness.
As in nature we have first the blade. then
the ear, after that the full corn in the
ear; SO in the spiritual life we have first
childlike absorption in the sensations
that come streaming in from the outside
world; then the se1f-centered ambition
of the youth eager to subject all things to
his own impetuous and imperious will;
after that the devotion of this matured
power Of self-assertion to the service of
that higher will of which both the order
iof nature and the ideal of man are the
revelation and expression.
St The transition from innocent absorp-
ton in the world as it is to the self-cen-
tered ambition which strives to make a
world exactly to- our private liking,
whether tits viewed in the race or the
individual is rightly regarded as a tenn
porary fall.
~ After the fall comes pain, after the
feasting comes hunger, after the wander
ing comes homssickness, after sin comes
remorse and penitence. Seeking to find
ourselves;in outward things we find only
our completehess. Wescannot be salts
fed with the husks that 30 perfectly sat
isfy the swine. aManas unhappiness
comes of his greatness. y
The half-truth Of pessinlism is this con-
%rrnp n%x i. AZ
the fnftude of all outward things; and
the escape from it Is to be found in the
union of ths infinite longing of the heart
of man with the infinite fullness of the
life of God. We can find permanent sat
isfaction in nothing short;of the recogni-
hon that the outward world of matter
and the inward ideal Of the mind are ex-
pressions Of tleone Infinite Spirit, whose
thoughts NE can think after him, and
whose will we can adops las our own end
and aim. Wescorne to ourselves only, in
SO far as we arise and 60 to our Father. :

pairymen, Look at These Figures.

I know a hardworking dairyman who
works a place on shares and from a
dairy of 10 cows gets about 200 pounds
of milk per day. His half share in this,
taken to the cheese factory, brings him
something like 10 cents every "a hours.
Now, he hires man by the day, giving
him $1.25 and board for every 10 hours
work. So, including cost of board, he
does not receive half enough from his
share of the dairy to pay his hired help.
The question naturally arises, Where is
he to make the other half and also make
money for his own wages?
Well, he has hopyard of five acres,
as most dairymen have here in connection
with their farms. But how about the
income from this source? He cannot
hope for more than 1000 pounds of hops,
and as hops are now worth 20 cents per
pound his share would be something like
$4O0. From other sources besides his
dairy and hops, such as grain, potatoes,
etc., he can get enough surplus to finish
paying the hired man. That will leave
him with the $500 as his own wages for
the year, and from this he must support
his family and himself.
Not a very cheerful outlook, is it2 His
hired man will make more clear money
than he will, and will not have to work
as hard. If hops are higher than 20
cents pound next fall, he will obtain a
correspondingly larger income, but they
are likely to be even lower than the fig
ures named. In any event, there is the
| prospect Of a whole year chock full OF
hard days work with barely common pay
But it does not fall to the lot of any
agriculturist to have easy days work.
| and they are not looking FOR that. Some
| of them, however, worry over the mat
ter if they do not obtain good rate of
| interest on the sweat they shed and the
Drawn they expend in tilling the soil.
Worry is brain work, and as the Amer
lean brain is a very ingenious organ
| when it keeps itself busy the ambitious
American dairyman who worries Gust a
| lttle) is apt to derive the biggest income
from his muscular work.
In the case that have cited there has
been too much apathy and too little
worry in the past. The present tenant
| is not altogether to blame for this, but
the owner is rather to blame for having
a dairy of 10 cows on the place that
yield only 200 pounds of milk per day in
nearly the flush of feed.
| These 10 COWS should be giving more
nearly 400 pounds per day than 200, and
they would if they were of the right
stamp. hear some reader exclaim:
ooh, pshaw! You fellows who write
are always setting up an ideal standard
that cannot be followed in practice. F."
But listen, my friend. Suppose that we
have been right there and know how it
goes from experience, as the most Of us
do, cannot you believe that there is some
thing in it then?
If you are not convinced, go forth and
list to the teachings of other dairymen
about you, who are making more money
than you are.--George E. Newell in
| American Cnltivator.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness and that is by constitut-
ional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
NOT be cured by Halls Catarrh cure. Send for

He Had the Blues.
Struck on the Head.

Gorham, N. H., August 7.-Mr. John
P. Durham, one of our best known citi-
zens, and long time resident, met with
a serious accident on Saturday at the
employed. A board upon which he was
working flying from the machine
struck him in the head just over the
eyes, and inflicted a severe wound, split
ting the board and leaving, two large
splinters in his head, which were re-
moved soon after and the wounds dressed
by DR.. Williamson. 1t was a very
narrow escape from a violent
death, but he is at this time
quite comfortable and his recovery is
expected.
A party of eight, consisting of A. R.
Evans, Esq, and wife, Walter Libby and
wife, G. II. Horne and granddaughter,
Miss Lula Buck, Miss Bessie Morse and
Miss Annie Briggs, left last night to be
gone two weeks on a visit to the Chicago
fair.
