IN Livermore, Me, July IS, 1856, and was
adncated In the schools Of his native town.
ami at Monmouth and Wilton academies.
He studied law In the office of Hutchinson
a. Savage. at Lewiston, Me, and was ad-
m,tted to the bar in March, 1882. In the
simmer of 1Ss3>he opened an Office at
Phillips. Me-, where he has since resided.
He has from the first, met with marked
success in the practice of his profession.
He enjoys an excellent reputation for legal
acumen and business ability. He has al
WAYS been an active Republican. In 1886
he was elected county attorney of Frank
lin county, in which capacity he served for
three successive terms. Mr.. Timberlake
was largely instrumental In securing the
construction of the Phillips & Rangeley
Railroad, and has ever since been actively
identified with its management, serving
as its attorney, treasurer, one of its direc-
tors, and, later as Its general passenger
and ticket agent. Mr.. Timberlake has
had excellent opportunities to familiarize
himself with the banking business For
number of years he has served as the
treasurer of the Phillips Saving Bank,
and one of its trustees. He is also a
director of the Union National Bank of
Phillips.
Mr.. Timberlake is a man of much abil
ity and untiring industry. He will come
to his new office we'll equipped for its
duties, and will be sure to give a good &C.
count of himself in the conduct of its
affairs

Great Britain's buccaneoring exploit at
Corinto, where, in true Morgan style, she
seized q town and made the Nicaraguans
ransom It, has apparently supplied the
lacking compulsory motive for Central
American union.
The realization of the fact that this re-
public may be subject to quasi interreg-
NUNS of anarchy IN its foreign policy
doubtless also has had much to do with
the formation of the Republica Major
out of the states of Nicaragua, Salvador
and Honduras. For seventy years orr
southern ncigbbors believed, In common
with ourselves, that the Monroe Doctrine
was vital and controlling principle. 1t
was rude awakening when they found
that the doctrine was one of these which

this case, the state papers of this govern

a new barrier against European aggres-

who conducted the negotiations, thinks
that they have succeeded. He tanks that
the other two Central American states of
Guatemala and Costa Rica Will Join the

Retiring Bank Examiner.

Hon. Charles r. Whittier, the retiring
bank examiner, has made faithful and
able official. He was most worthy sue
cessor to Hon. +. K. Richards and Hon.
George d. Bisbee. In the discharge of his
duties he has made a large circle of warm
and devoted friends, whose cordial good
wishes will attend him in his retirement
TO private life Mr. Written was born in
Buckfeld, Me, May 90, 1852. He was for
some time engaged in the insurance bust
ness in his native town. In April, 1884,
he was given a position in the secretary of
States office, the duties of which he dis
charged with marked efficiency until May,
1887, when he resigned to accept the posi-
ton of assistant cashier in the First Ma
tional Bank of Augusta. He was ap-
pointed State bank examiner, Sept IA,
1899, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Hon. George D. Bisbce
He is gentleman of rugged integrity and
courteous bearing, and will take leave of
his official duties with highly creditable
record, both for industry and efficiency.

drumming the GantIet.~

Tho origin of running the gauntlet"
dates back to medieval times The word
gauntlet, from the French CANT (glove)
may imply the iron glove of the coat of
arror, and is thus directly associated with
n military punishment where the delin-
quent had to run between the lines and
the soldiers were only permitted to strike
with the gloved hand-that is, the hand
with the gauntlet on. But other etymolo-
gists derive gantlet in this phrase from
gantlopo Dutch gang, passage" and
loopcn, to rum, meaning a military
punishment which consisted in making
the culprit, naked to the waist, pass re-
pcatedly through two rows of soldiers fac
ing each other armed with short sticks or
other weapons, with which they hit him as
he passed. Boston Post.

thought they would like some chicken
salad, so they visited farm house at Mt.
Desert Ferry They had nothing except
pen knife with which to kill the chickens.
1t was used effectively on one bird, but
the second one took to the woods after
having it's neck pierced with the knife.
One of the porters gave chase and finally
the birds were dressed and placed in the
baggage car When this city was reached
another baggage car was put on the train,
but the chickens were not transferred and
the porters are now trying to find what
became of them.

Dr. Forbes Winslow of London appears
equal to the task of giving Americans ga
few pointers in blowing ones own horn
His first appearance before the congress
panied by a display of his erudition in at
tributug Shakespeare's death to IA
drunken bout. From dissertation upon
intemperance three hundred years ago his
active mind o'erleaps centuries and his
powers of criticism lose none of their
acuteness In passing from the bibulous
habits of the early seventeenth century to
the bicycle Of the nineteenth. During
breathing spell he takes occasion to in
form us that it was through his acumen
as a diagnosing detective that Jack the
Ripper" was finally caught and that the
fiend might have been captured much
earlier had the police authorities needed
his advice He says that after two MUIR
dcrs had been committed by Jack the
Ripper" he was convinced that it was the
work Of q homocidal lunatlo. 1t may be
remembered that this opinion, to which
DR.. Winslow lays claim, was freely ex
pressed on this side of the Atlantic at
that time However, the sleuths on this
side the wet" did not quite attain to the
lucubrations of the learned London ply
sioian, for he verified his theory by con
sultlng the nautical calendar and COM
pairing the times of the moons phases
with the dates of the mul ders. Having
demonstrated that lunar influences were
at work he at once decided that the muir
dercr WAS proven lunatic moreover
that he was affected by religious melan-
choia which led him to kill these aban-
doned women, in, as the murderer sup.
posed, the interests of society. Now the
doctor feels assured that Jack the Rip
per- has been caught and confined in an
asylum and that his symptoms are just
what he, the doctor, predicted they would
be found to be. AS the doctor gives no
adequate proof that Jack the Ripper
has really been caught and nc reason fol
us to suppose that the machinery of jus
ticc In England Is run in such blind
fold manner that one of the greatest
criminals of the age might be captured
and incarcerated without the semblanct
OF public trial or disclosure-a thing by
the way which could scarcely be accom-
plished In Russia-we are left to labor
