Tragic End of Cassanda L. Connoe in saco
Hail.

| Saco, October 17.-Cassander +. Con
nor, travelling Indian doctor, we'll
known here from her frequent visits to
this city, committed suicide last night
in the Saeo jail
I When IN the city she made her head
quarters at a house on Good street. Miss
Cunnor is in the habit of drinking some
occasionally and last evening was drunk
and making trouble in the streets Officer
Remick took her to her boarding house.
Later he was called, and ON entering the
house was met in dark entry by the
Infatuated woman who attacked him
with a knife Before he could get the
weapon away from her she stabbed him
twice, once III the shoulder and again. in
the side. AS the officer was clad with "a
thick overcoat, neither wound was dan
gerous, although that in the arm reached
the bone. He took the woman to Jail and
locked her in 4 cell. 1t was about 10
O'Clock when h. loft her. Although the
jailer kept a 81 arp lookout for any dis
turbance during lie night he heard no
noise. At 6 oe!oei1 this morning when
he opened the jail, he smelt strong odor
of burning clothing going to the cell oc-
cupied by Miss Conner, he found her dead
upon the floor she had taken all the
bedding off from the cot, had heapd it on
the floor in the cell and set fire to 1T.
Her death must have been caused by SUI
location That the woman intended to
commit suicide seems to be evident
from the fact that she had thrown all her
| personal belongings out side the cell door.
| They consisted of pocketbook, pair
of spectacles. several letters, and a slip
of paper containing addresses. One of
hese letters was signed by II. l.. Stimp-
son Of Somerville, Mass, and one adj
dressed to Mark Sullivan, Portland. On
the back of the latter envelope was writ
ten Mrs. Cady,9 Oak street" On slip
of paper was written, "Chas L. Jewell,
PreDle house stable Coroner Bradley
viewed the remains and pronounced an
inquest unnecessary.
Although the woman's back was some
what burned showing that the flames had
communicated to her clothing, it is prob
able that this burning did not occur I'M
til her death by suffocation. On inquiry
it was found that the unfortunate woman
was native of Sebago Lake, and the
town authorities there have been 'notl
fed of her death.
Mrs. Cady gave the reporter all of the
information at her command. She said
that she had never seen the woman before
last week. 1t seems that a friend recon-
mende the woman to her. This woman
said she was an Indian doctress and
could cure all the ills that flesh is heir
to. Mrs. Cady has little boy and this
alleged Indian doctress treated the boy
for illness Mrs. Cady paid the woman
we'll, but during the past few days the
woman did not resume her treatment
That is all that can be learned in Port
and about the unfortunate woman.
Mrs. Conner was practically hermit
while at Sebago, living alone in her
house and making her medicines. The
composition of these remedies was known
only to herself. Having made up guam
tity she would start out peddling all
over the state, going as far east as Ban
gor. She was often seen in Portland.
She was one of the characters of this
region,

Historic Holland.

Rev. Dr. Bodies of Brooykln, N. Y, a
former pastor of Congress Square church,
delivered an illustrated lecture on
ming to large and we'll pleased audience.
In the beginning of the lecture the doctor
referred to his many friends in the city
whose presence he noted, and then gave a
little preface in which he spoke of
Holland as Hlittle but great. Little,
because the territory is only one fourth
that of England's. and is even smaller
than that of Greece. 1t is great because
of the indomitable energy of the men
who reclaimed her soil from the bed of
old ocean itself, and when storm and
waves swept away millions of property
were notssdiscouarged but again turned
the marsh into rich citys and prosperous
villages She is greatest in the way in
which she has now and held her liberty.
The flag that waves over her soil Is the
same flag that sheltered our Pilgrim
Fathers She is not without her faults.
has been depraved and misgoverned and
it was not until as late as 1880, the little
kingdom entered into the tranquil period
of her career.
Then the lecturer as the stereopticon
threw upon the canvass the quaint
architecture of the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, the statues of great men occu-
pied bits of Rhine scenery, churches
whose ornate external establishment
was more than balanced by the severe
finish of their interior, specimen of
medieval architecture that was far
superior to the "more than evil, -
architecture of our day. portraits, quaint
streets, and pictures from art galleries
that are hitorical. He paid a glowing
tribute to William the Silent who. he con-
sidered, possessed the best qualities of
Washington and Lincoln, spoke of
Admiral Won Tromp, who swept the
British from the English channel and
placed broom at his masthead in token
of the feat. He also displayed fine
picture of Wilhelmia the little Queen of
Holland and said that she should be a
charming woman for her mother, the
Queen Regent, was bringing her up in a
manner that should be source of pride
to her countrymen.
1t was delightful lecture and ended
ali too soon.

Grand Opera House.

The vivid scenes of the Land of the Midnight Sun" were thrillingly shown at the performance given at the Grand opera house last night. The towering form of William w. Bittner fits exactly the character of Jason, while Charles Barringer was equally fitted to the part of Sunlocl1s. Edwin Barbour, the au- thor of the play, is the same jolly Cap tain Jollyweather and his round, rosy face adds much to the comedy element. In fact, the whole company deserves praise for the excellent work. The scenic portion of the production is elab- crate and the representation of the sul- phur mines of Iceland, with the subse- quent explosion, is extremely vivid. If you admire strong melodrama, by all means see Land of the Midnight Sun" at the Grand opera house either this afternoon. or evening, when the last two performances will be given. Land of the Midnight Sun" matinee to-day.
 The highly popular comedian, Robert Gaylor, comes on the first three days next week in his eccentric version of Sport McAllister, One of the 400." The play is very funny and has been recon structed and is now more amusing than ever. Among the many novel features introduced is a. medley taking off cer- tain features in those late successes, "The Gaiety Girl" "Don Juan" GO Bang" etc. The comedy is bright and has quite plot; it's lines are sparkling and refined in humor and one finds a laugh in every line. The company in- cludes such well known people as Gill bert and Goldie, Joe Kelly, Sam Ryan, Mabel Craig, Lillie Heckler, Lizzie En- his, May Gaylor, Kathleen Warren and others.
