TO DESTROY HIS WIFE
Is the Terrible Charge Against
Charles Blake Of Bangor,
svspecisd Of Firing Old National House. That
City. Sunday Night.

Bangor, May 2.-Charies Blake OF Ban
gor, was bound over in $4,000, Thursday,
to the August term Of the supreme court
on charge of arson. Blake is suspected
of setting fire to the old National house, a
lodging house, last Sunday night, in
order to destroy his wife, from whom he
has separated.
Blake Is about 60 years old and has
several children in Bangor. His first
wife, the mother of these children, is dead.
His second wife, from whom he separated
some time ago, occupies room in the
National house building.
The second Mrs. Blake has never lived
happily with her husband and family jars
were Of frequent occurrence. She asserts
that since her separation her husband has
continually prosecuted her, and upon her
statements and what the police knew con-
ccrning the unpleasant relations Of hus-
band and wife, together with evidence re-
Gently discovered, the arrest was made.
On point in Blake's favor is that the
time register in Rollins mill, which must
be visited every half hour by the watch
man, indicated that Blake or someone
else was on watch at IL O'Clock, Sunday
night. The fire alarm struck at 12,
and the fire must have been set some min
utes before that time.

MORE RIGID INSPECTION
To be Made Of Immigrants Along the Maine
Canada Line.

Washington, May 2.-Commissioner
General Stump has received "A complaint
from the Plant line of steamers plying
between Boston and Canadian ports that
the rigidness Of immigrant inspection at
Boston and points along the Canadian
Pacific railroad are not uniform. The
discrepancy is SO marked that travel has
been diverted from the water lines to the
rail routes.
Mr.. Stump had decided to maintain the
parity of inspection between the two
routes of travel so not to give one kind of
route the advantage over the other, and
to this end has sent another inspector to
Nanceboro. Me. with instructions to
make the inspection OF immigrants along
the border as rigid as along the seaboard
and to keep the inspection uniform.

intimate with Commodore Morgan of the
Defender syndicate says that there is no

If Maria Barberi had been acquitted
because Of the wrong and the outrage
which provoked her to the crime, an
example Of terribly evil consequence to
society would have been furnished, and
1t would have been made the excuse for
murder by vile and violent women who
set snares for men. But what her pun
ishment shall be is another matter.
1t cannot be death by electricity with
out outraging every healthy sentiment
and every honorable impulse in the
community. The thought that men are
to gather about this wretched and dis
taught girl, strap her, woman, to a
chair, and then stand by to watch her
killing by an electric current, is horri-
Bile in the extreme. No decent man
would be willing to take part in such
a proceeding. No governor ought to
subject manhood to it. Killing wom-
an in cold blood is not a business for
men. 1t outrages humanity.

The Americans abroad VINO have up
to the present retained the distinction
of not being presented at court should
be warned by their friends at home
resolutely to refuse all temptations for
a court presentation. The iconoclastic
blow at the tradition that it is an honor
to be one of the crowd at court recep-
tons has been long awaited, but it has
come at last 1t is aimed by the short,
fat, vigorous hand of Henri La
bouchere, who remarks in Truth that
it is mo sort of advantage to 90 to
court" Such an idea, he says, can
linger only in the minds of the very
credulous or the entirely unsophisti-
Gated And, continues Mr.. Labouchere

gance: mo inquiries Of any sort or
kind are now made by the court Off
Gals respecting the horde of unknown

fore every drawing-room or levee.
There's horrifying revelation for
those who have still cherished the
fancy that presentation at court"
was an honor and distinction. It is
recommended to the attention Of any
fair and foolish American girl who may
be envying some other girl for priyi-
lege supposed to be of the greatest
moment. But what change has come
over the social life of England since the
days when the court was the highest
