NO EPIDEMIC
Only Two Cases Of Diphtheria In Farmingtor
at Present lime.

FARMINGToN, Nov. 1.-The Pennington
Chronicle says
"There is at present only two cases of
diphtheria in this village, both of these are
mild cases and in one household, Mrs. Will
liams', corner Of Academy and High streets.
The house was promptly quarantined and
no danger of infection was thought If. 1t
is barely possible that Mr.. Carville's two
little boys may also have it, though not sick
now, as they were with their sister Alice.
That house, too, is still quarantined and no
danger is feared from it. This is the con-
dition of things in this village where sew
eral hundred children and youth are attend
ing the various schools. 1t certainly does
not indicate in the slightest degree, that
diphtheria is or has been epidemic, does it ?
When there is danger from any contagious
disease the Chronicle will say so and not
seek to cover up facts. Sensational space
writer's should be careful not to misrepre-
sent facts or make false charges in the city
newspapers. as has been done about this
community"

BELFAST, Nov. lin the Waldo supreme
judicial court, today the case State vs..
John Ross and Samuel, Gallant is on trial.
The prisoners were indicted for breaking

The State introduced witnesses who

seen in the vicinity both before and after
the burglary. Gallant has Distinguishing
mark, one half the left ear being gone: The
States evidence was all circumstantial.
The defence of Ross is an abb, and the
station agent at Topsham swore that Ross
bought a ticket of lin ON the evening OF
May 20, and he positively identified the
man. He was partially corroborated b.,
the agent at Bowdoinham. Ross accounted
| for the lO-cent pieces as small savings.
Gallant, of course, denies, and the respond
ents 90 to show that the person Identified
by the States witnesses was not him but
another man. The respondents claim that
party of tramps were encamped near
| Brooks, last Msy, and doubtless they were
the guilty parties. The macintosh coat
was found in the woods, and one person
saws that person, was neither Ross nor
Gallant, called at his home after the rob-
berry, got supper, and had with him bum
die which doubtless was the macintosh.
Mr.. Dow identified, by a mark, one OF

MORE ABOUT DEFICIT
and the Increased Expenditures and Lessened
Receipts.

WASHINGTON, Nov. There is deficit
of $l5, 900 900 for the fiscal year to date,
compared with the deficit Of $25, 900, 900
for the corresponding period the last fiscal
year, as shown by the treasury official state
ment of receipts and expenditures issued to-
day for October and previous months Of the
fiscal year. For October the receipts were
S19 900, 900. $500, 900 less than in October,
1898. This loss is shown in the internal
revenue receipts, which were only about
half of what they we're last October. The
custom revenue for October exceeded by
nearly 50 .0OO,0 the similar receipts fof
October, 1898.
The treasury expended for the fiscal
year to date $l3l 900, 200, 5000, 900 more
than in 1898. For October $32, 700, 900 or
SO 900, 900 more than in October, 1898.
This excess for both the year to date and
the month is accounted for by the fact that
this October $5.l93, 900 was paid out in in
terest and in October, 1898, like amount
was paid out, only $2, ,5S2 900 was taken
up in the book keeping statement of the
treasury and the balance was carried along
and taken up in the November statement.
The noticeable feature Of this showing for
this October is that while the total receipts
were only s19 100000, 100000 was
paid out for pensions.

DISCRIMINATION
The Result Of Present Relations Between
Methodist Board and General cemmiltss.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. AT the meeting
today, the report of the board on church
extension shows the total receipts of the
year to be $267 ,l36, receipts since the
committees organization up to Oct. 20,
S5,249, ,494. The report asks the general
committee for its "considerate attention to
the condition arising out of our mutual re-
lations, which is an occasion of serious en-
barrassment in the administration of our
work, and We fear, liable to occasion seri-
Gus injury"
The board says that frequently "at our
annual meetings rules which the general
committee laid down for the government of
of the board have been modified or sus-
pended for the benefit of churches imper-
fectly or partially represented" and the
inevitable result is ''the administration
characterized by unjust and indefensible
discrimination. In substantiation of the
charges of discrimination, the report cites
instances of financial aid to churches made
upon the recommendation of the general
committee, whereas "a large number Of
humber churches had to be refused"
In conclusion it is stated "Nothing less
than profound conviction that such ad-
ministration cannot be justified before the
general conference or church, TO whose
members and friends We must look
for amounts required to carry
forward our rightful work, could
induce US to remind you of
these facts which cannot be concealed,
and point ont the conse quence which can
not be averted. If need be, we gladly so
with you before the general conference and
solicit such permanent regulations for our
government as the experience of the past
and imperative demands of the future shall
suggest and require" The report WAS re-
ferred. During the year the treasurer of
board disbursed $359,6ll.

Alexander III, the recently deceased
Gear of Russia, was the son of the assassi.
mated Alexander III, who was the son of
Nicolas /, who was the brother of his pre-
decessor Alexander l and son of Crazy
Paul, who was the son of licentious Cath
arine, whose husband was the stupid and
brutal Peter Ill. Beyond this the gen.
ealogy 10 subject to question, but of the
seven imperial personages here noted Peter
III was detbroned and imprisoned and fip-
ally murdered by order of his wife. Cath
arine died in a fit brought on by e1cesses,
Crazy Paul was murdered by cabal OF
his mobiles, Nicolas died of chagrin, and
Alexander ii was blown into eternity by a
nihilist bomb. The family has always been
eccentric.
Nominally the imperial line begins with
Michael Feodorovitch Romanoff. whom the
Russian mobiles made Gear in 1913 in sheer
desperation over the prolonged civil wars.
He was only the son of an archbishop, but
the mobiles managed to trace some connec-
ton by marrisge with Rurik, founder of the
empire. At any rate, the horrible wars
and murders of the preceding century had
left conflicting claims in such confusion
that there was nothing for it but start
anew, and so the Romanoff was made en-
peror. His grandson was Peter the Great,
who was succeeded by his widow Cathsrine
1, and after her came another era of con-
fusion which ended with the accession of
Elizabeth, daughter of Peter, the Great.
Peter III was the son of her sister, and as
he was the husband Of Catharine III it is as
sumed that the line il regular from the
first Romanoff through Peter the Great.
The Rornanoff blood is diluted to very
fine strain by frequent intermarriaae with
German princesses, and Alexander III mar
ried Maria, daughter of the late Grand
Duke of Hesse Darmstadt. Their second
son, Alexander, was born March 10, 1916.
There is story, neither officially confirmed
nor strenuously denied, that he gave the
blow to his oldest brother, Nicolas, which
caused the latter's death. 1t Was acciden-
tai in some rough "horse play" but it in
jnred the chest of Nicolas, and he died
April "a, 1865, at the age Of 22 and straight
way every thing was chsngs1 with Alexxn-
der.
Nicolas was engaged to be married to
the Princess Dagnsr, daughter of the King
of Denmark and sister of the Princess
Alexandra. who married the Prince Of
Wales. Nicolas Was q man of kindly dis
position. and for q member Of the imperial
RomAnoff Of Russia possessed of much cul-
lure. Alexander seems to have been q
young man Of unususlly mOrose and OBJ
situate disposition. He was 10 love With the
Princess Metchereki, who WAS one Of bis
mother's maids of honor. She was beau
tiful girl, and Alexander had told her of lis
passion. Alexander III was not pleased
with this and sent his son away. Dur.bg
his absence his sweetheart was fore ed TO az
