several times passed through San Fran

such accounts of it that they have all been

The other members of the company had
barely time to corroborate Miss Hobson's
statement before the train pulled up in the
station. Marcus Mayer, who had come
gallantly handed Miss Hobson from the
train and piloted her toward the boat,

she called it, was prosaic. 1t was impos-
sible to disguise her identity, however.
Before the boat had passed Goat Island
every one knew who she was, and smiled
indulgently when they saw her leaning
over the side and feeding the seagulls with
bread and endearing terms. And as she
pelted the birds the Gaiety Girl con-
graduated herself upon having reached

The Aged Cook Did Not Attempt to

Mary Meyers, the aged cook, had her
preliminary examination before Judge
Joachimsen yesterday on the charge of
attempt to kill. The complaining witness
was Eugene n. Fritz of Masonic avenue,
and he charged Mary with trying to
poison the family by mixing trough ON

poses.
Mary's defense was that she accidentally
knocked over the poison and it fell into
the fiour-drawer When Fritz discharged
her that day she told Mrs. Fritz what had
happened to the -four and advised her not
TO use it. Mrs. Fritz admitted yesterday
that Mary warned her about the -four and
Kate Hussey, Mary's successor, testified
that she had used the -four after, as she
thought, clearing 1t of all the poison. The

RED-LETTERED LAMPS.
The Gas Company Experimenting Will
New Street Signs.

The gas company has introduced a new
kind of street lamp sign. Instead of the
old black letters painted upon the lamps
the way-seeking wanderer will hereafter
turn for guidance to letters of flaming red
on background of black.
The new signs are smaller, but more dis
tinct and durable than the old. The letters
are cut through strip of zinc glued to the
glass and are backed with transparent red
celluloid. The gas company says this is
an experiment. There are 541 of the new
signs in place.

EllsWorth's crack two -year-old, Blngen,
left for Mystic last Thursday in charge of
his owner, f. II. Greedy. The trip was
made to Bucksport and thence by boat to
Boston.
Bingen has been put in the hands of
Henry liter, Il Boston, who will get him
in readiness for his summer races.
Bingen's first race Will be at Fleetwood
park, New York, August 30. From there
he will be brought back to the Maine
S:Rte fair for the first week in Septembers
HIS next appearance will be at Rhode
Island state fair, Providence, Sept. 16 to
2i, and from there he will go to the
Breeders Meeting at Mystic, Sept. "A to
-, winding up the season at the October
meeting at Righy, October to 8.
Mr.. Greedy says Bingen is the most
leye, headed colt he ever saw. He travels
like an old campaigner, eating and
drinking as we'll on the boat as in his
stable. In the trip through the busy
streets of Boston he paid not the slightest
attention to things about him.
1t is expected he will be given mark
of 2.25 this season, and possibly 2.20.

GEORGE COBURN ARRESTED.
Deputy Sheriff Cushman Locates His
Man at East Madison.

George Coburn, who WAS wanted for
illegal liquor selling at Mt. Desert, and
who escaped the authorities month ago,
was arrested at East Madison by Deputy
Sheriff James T. Cushman last Thursday.
Some time ago George Coburn and
Charles Smith conceived the brilliant plan
of esta blishing saloon in a camp at Echo
Lake, Mt. Desert. The camp was built on
an isolated point, and boat was necessa-
ry to reach it.
The business had been esta blshed but
four days when the town authorities
determined upon raid. The camp was
taken by surprise. Smith was captured
but Coburn made his escape by taking to
the water and swimming across to the
shore where his horse was tied.
Smith was taken before Justice f. w.
French at Southwest Harbor, and on
June 13 was committed to the county Jail,
where he still is.
Coburn's wherea bouts were unknown
until Deputy Sheriff Cushman, by little
clever detective work, located him. 1t
was learned that Coburn's wife was liv-
ing at East Madison.
Mr.. Cushman, through friends at East
Madison, kept his eye on her, expecting
that sooner or later Coburn would put in
an appearance. He was not mistaken,
Word was received that Coburn was in
East Madison. and on Thursday the
deputy sheriff arrested him there.
Coburn was taken before Justice French
last Saturday. He was fined 500 and go
costs on one warrant, and $50 and $40
costs for single sale, in default of which
he was committed.
Coburn, after escaping from the camp
by swimming, drove to Bar Harbor,
walked from there to Ellsworth, where
he hired team to take him to Bucksport.
He went to Boston by boat and remained
until he got homesick for Maine.

edered "not in it," as one OF he ladies,
innocent of the intentional use of slang,
remarked.
To say that the outing was thoroughly
enjoyed does not adequately describe 1t.
The weather was most delightful, all We're
in the best of spirits and it was one
round of fun from beginning to end of
the day.

Sprague, went ashore while being towed
out through Sullivan Falls Tuesday morn
ing. She was loaded with $1,000 paving
blocks from the Sullivan Granite Co. and
Hooper, Havey x Co., for Philadelphia.
At high water she drifted back above
the falls and beached, where she will be
unloaded and then taken to a marine
railway. She is full of water, but the
damage is probably not great.

never since been heard of.
