Hawaii we don't want, but Cuba we

can buy it. If we cannot buy it we
can get it anyway, if we try. And
is worth trying.-Sentinel.

Greater Mest Yirginfa.

Why should not West Virginia
become one of the foremost and
richest states in the Union? She is
favorably located with reference to
soil and climate, and more conven-
iently situated, with reference to
manufactures, commerce and other
advantages, than almost any other
state. She is between the extremes
of North and South, cold and heat,
and has immense tracts of finest
timber and exhaustless mines of
coal, iron and all that 90 to make a
state rich and great.
Better horses, cattle, sheep, tim
Der and forests are not grown and a
splendid type of men and women
cannot be found in the world, than
can be found in West Virginia.
Instead of being fourth or fifth in
point of population and wealth, she
ought to rank among the first.
Capital and enterprise will put her
there.
Let our motto be, "Greater and
Grander West Virginia
The United States Supreme Court
has made two decisions which are
OF great importance to railroads and
their passengers. In the first case
q lady bad bought ticket and paid
full price for it, the ticket bearing
the usual notice that it was void
after thirty days from date of sale.
She did not use the ticket within
the time, and when she did present
it was refused transportation on it.
She sued for damages and the court
held that she paid full rates and the
road had no right to limit the time.
They allowed her 5000 damages.
The other was where q person
held an annual pass with with the
notice printed on it and signed by
the person that the road would not
be liable to him for any accident to
him or damage to his property
while travelling on their carse. The
court ruled that it was against the
law to issue any pass unless for
value received, accordingly that the
pass was was issued for considera-
ton of some kind, and the plaintiff
was awarded damages.-Ex.

Utah,s Politics.

For a considerable time the coun-
try has supposed Utah to be Demo.
cratic in politics, which belief is the
main reason why Republican con.
crosses have steadily opposed its
admission to tho Union. 1t appears
however, that the Democrats have
not been in a majority there for
several years. In the elections OF
both 1892 and 1S93-the former be
ing the time of the general Demo.
cratic triumph throughout the coun-
try-the Republicans polled major
tiles, and last year the Republicans
carried the territory by 1000.
Instead of Utah's admission adj
ding another Democratic State to
the Union it will increase the Re-
publican strength in the United
States Senate by two, and those
two will be for the free coinage OF

One provision of the new school
book law IS sure to become unpopu
lar. It's the one that makes the
Clerk OF the Board the sole agent
for The sale of the books. Hereto.
fore the books were sold by dealers,
and they could be purchased at al
most every store in the country, but
under the new law there can be but
one place in each district at which
they can be purchased. We do not
know of any place where this change
will be convenience to the public,
but can think of many where it will
be decided disadvantage. What
is wrong about that school book
business anyway?

THE HUSBAND OF AN HOUR.
Martin ID. Hamilton Sues for Divorce
from Zetta Hamilton.

Readers of the PRESS will bear in
mind the trying courtship of Martin u.
Hamilton, young man employed in the
esta Enlistment of Hamilton q Co, AT
Great Chebeague Island, in November,
1891. Young Hamilton, man OF exem-
plary character, fell in love with pretty
Zetta Hamilton, daughter .of George W.
Hamilton of the island, possessing the
same name but OF no relationship to
Martin. Both families were in good
circumstances, and Zetta was teacher
in the primary schco oil. All went smooth
ly with the couple until Martin asked
for Zetta's hand from her parents. Then
Mrs. Hamilton objected to her daughter
marrying anybody, and declared she
shouldn't as long as she-her mother
lived.
Mrs. Hamilton wouldn't change her
mind on this subject. So set was the
mother that the couple could not meet
each other, Zettas' two brothers accom-
panying her to and from school. Finally
they got chance to see each other, and
on the 10Th of Noyem Der, 1891, they were
married by Rev. James Wright. Then
Zetta went home to bid her mother fare
well, promising to return to her husband
in an hour. From that moment Hamil-
ton never saw his wife to speak to her
again. When she told her mother she
was married, her mother vowed that as
long as she lived her daughter should
never see her husband. Finally Hamil-
ton received note from his wife pledg-
ing undylng love it is said, and the fol-
lowing day when he demanded of the
mother the right of seeing his wife he
was told that both had gone away. 1t
was year before the wife returned to
the island She continued to live at her
mothers house, was free to go where
she desired, but was not seen in public
much.
Yesterday, Martin Hamilton, the hus-
band of wife, with whom he has never
spoken, let alone lived with, since the
10th of Novem Der, 1891, appeared in the
Supreme Court and claimed divorce Cd
the ground of utter desertion. Judge
Strout will doubtless grant the re-
quest.

A SMOOTH FELLOW.
He Has Been victimizing the Doctors in
the State with am Insurance Racket.


There is considerable looking about in
the state to find man OF many names,
who has called himself variously CA.
Cook, CA. Mann, Oliver Olney, 0 Olney,
or F, Drew. 1t seems that he has been
going about the state representing him
self as an agent Of the Mutual Reserve
Fund Life Insurance Company. The
men to whom he has applied his arts
are the doctors. He has gone to phys;c-
ian with the statement that he wished
to engage him as an examining surgeon
for the company, and on the strength of
this would issue to him bogus policy,
collecting the first premium and depart
ing. Doctors have been fooled by this
slick stranger in the following places:
Newport, Fruitland Park, Brunswick,
Bath, Bucksport, Rockland, Damaris-
Gotta, Lewiston, Auburn, Pennington,
Freeport. Waldoboro, Kittery. Fairfield,
Scion and Boster's Mills.
The man of many names is described
as having Spanish looking face, black
hair, black full beard, sprinkled with
gray. He is about 45 years old, five feet
nine and half inches tall, and weigh
about ITO pounds.
