M de Morgan, French savant
has recently made important discov-
cries in Egypt. In unearthing the
ruins of Dahchour, near Cairo, he
exhumed two bodies, sepulchered
in stone, that were covered with rich
gold jewelry, studded with precious
stones. From the inscription on the
mummy case it was learned that one
Of the bodies was that of the Princess
TIA who lived a thousand years before
Jacob was sent into Egypt to buy
corn, and must have been a baby
when Cain was humping it for the
land of Nod.
But, probably, the most singular
part of the discovery is the proof
furnished of high civilization that
existed at an age of the world that
we have been taught nothing but the
crudest art was known.

Bad Man from BuckspOrt.

Peter Donovan, who escaped from the
lookup at Bucksport last February, was
arrested Tuesday OF last week, and is now
safely lodged in the county Jail.
Donovan was arrested in February last
for cruelty to animals, he having with
fiendish cruelty, cut out the tongue OF a
horse. He was tried and committed for
the supreme court. He was locked up for
the night, the officer intending to take
him to the county Jail the following day.
Donovan succeeded in making his escape
by wrenching of the paddock which
fastened the door Of the lookup.
1t WAS a case Of "good riddance to bad
rubbish" and no great effort was made to
capture the fugitive.
About Christmas Donovan returned to
Bucksport, but has kept in hiding.
Deputy Sheriff Patterson learned Of his
return, and on Tuesday, in company with
other officers, he arrested Donovan at the
home Of his parents. The arrest was
made somewhat exciting by the lively
fight given the officers by sister OF
Donovan, who attacked them with hot
water and hotter tongue. She was not
subdued until handcufied. Donovan was
brought to Ellsworth Wednesday.

Mrs. william II. Bradley,


The Humane Journal, OF Chicago, pays
the following deserved tribute to Mrs.
William H. Bradley, former resident Of
franklin, and one well-known through
out Hancock county:
One Of the most earnest supporters Of
the humane cause to be found in America
is Mrs. William H. Bradley, OF Milwau-
kee, Wis. For years she has labored per-
sistently to circulate humane literature
and awaken an interest in the cause.
Like other leaders she has met with
many discouragements, but she has
bravely continued in her course until
every school child in Milwaukee, II not
throughout the state of Wisconsin, Is
aware OF the work and aims OF humane
society. Prisons all over the country,
and reading rooms in various states, have
been supplied with humane literature at
her expense.
Wherever she thought chance existed
for education to bring about reform, or to
prevent a necessity for reform, Mrs.
Bradley has endeavored to meet the
occasion.
Her efforts have been crowned with
success. The superintendent and many
teachers in public schools of Milwaukee
have become not only interested but
active co-laborers. AS chairman OF the
committee on humane education OF the
Wisconsin humane society, she has served
faithfully and well.
With the aid of Superintendent Peck
ham and Principal r. j. O'Hamlon, Mrs.
Bradley has supplied many child with
it's first glimpse of humanity in an
attractive form. In years to come many
of these children will become renowned
for good works-a direct harvest from
the seed she has soWn. An indefatigable
worker, she has welded a powerful in
huence for good.
