One thing is certain; people who heard
Senator Frye at Augusta, yesterday, know
exactly where he stands regarding ma
tionaI affairs-there's no populism or free
trade in him. In these days when so
many politicians attempt to keep them
selves moving so that one cannot place a
finger upon him the unmistakable words
of;the able Maine senator ring out in a
most satisfactory way. If there were
more men like Frye and Hale in the
United States Senate it would be much

Bangor Commercial, Dem. }

The Hon. VIM. p. Frye has been pre-
sented with six years more in the United
States Senate by his Maine constituents
without even whisper of opposition
from any quarter Maine people, party
feeling aside are fond of Senator Frye.
His brilliant eloquence, affability, I'M
doubted integrity and other estimable
qualities command the admiration and
respect of Democrats and Republicans
alike. AS long as Maine stubbornly per-
sists in her allegiance to Republican idols,
she can find few men in the ranks of that
party so eminently fitted for the high
office of senator as Mr.. Frye.

An EnviabIe Record.
(Wateryille Sentinel

The harmonious and hearty renomina-
ton of Senator Frye, last Thursday, by
the Legislature, must have been very
gratifying even to a man so much ac-
customed to harmonious and hearty sup
port by his party as is this distinguished
senator. Mr.. Frye has made most envi-
able record for wise craftsmanship in
tegrity and oratorical ability and power.
He wears his years with grace and physi-
cal as well as mental strength, and much
of his best work is yet before him. Maine
is very fortunate in her statesmen.

WILDE IS GUILTY.

Out Four Hours.
He is Sentenced to Two Years
at Hard Labor.
TAYLOR SENTENCED.
Wilde's Companion Receives
Same Punishment.
The A AbOminablennSS Of Wi1de'S
The Abominableness of Wilde's
Crime Set Forth.

LONDON, May 25.-Oscar Wilde's trial
having reached its final stage the Old
Bailey court room was filed with inter
ested spectators almost as soon as the
doors were opened today.
Sir Frank Lockwood, the solicitor gen.
eral, resumed his address to the jury,
which he had just begun when court ad-
journed yesterday.
The prisoners intimacy with Lord Al
fred Douglas and the exhibition of the
younger man by the elder one at hotels
and public places in and about London
were severely commented upon by the
counsel.
Referring to the much commented
upon letters which Wilde wrote to Lord
Alfred Douglas, counsel said that the
jury had been told they were too low to
appreciate such property. and he
thanked God it was so, as it showed
they were above the level of beasts.
(Applause, which was promptly sup
pressed)
Sir Edward Clarke, leading counsel
for Wilde, here interposed objections to
such appeals as the one just made
by Sir Frank Lockwood, which counsel
claimed should not be allowed. When Sir
Frank Lockwood continued his speech,
he warned the jury to render a verdi ct
which would prevent 'such a detesta bic
and abominable vice to rear its head un-
blushingly in this country"
The general tenor of Justice Wills ad-
dress to the jury was favorable to Wilde.
The jury returned to the court at $50 o.
N. having been absent four hours and
returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence
of two years imprisonment was imposed.
Alfred Taylor, Wildes associate, was
also sentenced today to two years i'm
prisonment. Both prisoners terms are
to be worked out at hard labor.
The announcement of the verdict
caused great sensation in the court, as
it was the general impression that Wilde
would escape conviction.
While the jury was out Wilde's coun-
sci procured the following signed state
ment from Wilde:
''The charges alleged against me
are entirely untrue Youth in
every form always fascinated me,
because youth has naturally
/ that temperament to which the
| artists try to attain. All works of art are
work produced in the moment of youth.
[ have no sense at all of social grades.
l love society and the rich and we'll
born on account of their luxury and cuI-
| ture, the grace of their lives But any
one, plough boy. fisherman or street Arab
has an interest for me- Mere hu-
manity is so wonderful I do not ask of
the young what they do. I don't care who
they are. Their ignorance has its mode
| of wisdom; their lack of culture leaves
them open to fres b and vivid impressions.
(Signed) oscar WILDE"
The document is written through hout
in Wilde's own writing, which is ex
! tremely graceful and firm, on a sheet oi
foolscap paper, and it is signed with &
| flourish.

An American Who was Robbed Draws
His Revolver and Gets His Money.
MONTE CARLO. May 25.-Much excite
ment was caused here at the public
gambling establishment at Monte Carlo
by an elderly man, who is said to be an
American named Captain Clyde. Hav-
ing lost $4,000 at the tables a day or two
ago, he questioned the fairness of the
play and abused the croupiers, whereup-
on orders were given to debar him from
playing again. When he returned the
doorkeepers attempted to prevent his
entrance, but he drew a revolver, walked
in, and took his seat at one of the tables
and began to play
One of the proprietors who tried to
eject him was knocked down, and when
a ring of the attendants was formed
around the captain with the object of
hustling him out, he retreated to COR
ner, drew his revolver once more, and
after denOuncing the managers as thieves
and swindlers, declared that he would
not leave the place until the $4,000 that
he had lost on the previous day was re-
stored
After some hesitation the managers,
seeing that he was determined and find :
ing their employees unwilling to expose
themselves to the fire of his revolver,
complied with the demand.
