receive his share of an estate left by an

MIR. and Mrs. Russell will be greatly
missed here. Mr.. Russell is we'll known
in connection with temperance and re-
ligious work. always Of practical kind,
and Mrs. Russell has been good friend
to the poor. Mr.. Russell is a worthy son
of a worthy sire, his father being engaged
in England in unpaid religious and be-
nevolent work among the poor, and re-
Gently his services for 80 years in that
work were recognized by the overseers of
the Door and the mayor and board of
aldermen of the city where he resides. It
is understood that Mr.. Russell has come
into a very comfortable fortune, and
while bis friends will rejoice to learn
of his good fortune, it is to be hoped

POTATOES TO BURN.
No Need to Go Hungry IL You Like
Them.

They Have Not Been So Cheap Before for
Almost Half Century-Down in ARGOS
took the Farmers Will Almost Give
Them to You If You'll Haul Them
Away.
Noobdy who likes this great American
standby, the Irish potatoes, need go hun
CRY. Never for about half a GEN.
fury have potatoes been so cheap as
they are today in Maine.
The PRESS man saw seyenty-five
bushels of es pretty samples of the fruit
de Murphy put into Portland hotel yes
terday as one would wish to see. They
cost the landlord all delivered in his cell
lar but 1 8 cents bushel.
"Never in my business experience have
l evera seen good potatoes at such ridiou-
lousy low prices" said prominent pro-
duce dealer on Commercial street yester-
day. We are wholesaling fine potat oes
at from rs cents to 90 cents q barrel. The
very finest Aroostook Hebrons, and
they are beauties, go for 80 cents at
wholesale. Ordinaril y at this time they
are worth from Sl.25 to ST. IS per bushel.
Think Of it what an immense amount
OF food to get for 80 cents, full barrel of
choice, meally potatoes. -
Aroostook County is simply deluged
with these products of the Maine soil
len cents per barrel Is the long price for
them, and in many instances the farmers
will almost give them t o you if you will
pay the freight. 1t is the big freight
that makes the price so much higher. 1t
is vertically year of potatoes, but a poor
year for the cultivators.

BEFORE JUDGE WEBB.
Morton Went Free, and Gilbert Will Go
to Alfred.

| Having made full restitution to the
government, Mrs. Annie Morton, who
was indicted for embezzling 1897. Is OF
the money of the United States, was al
lowed yesterday to enter plea of guilty,
and to recognize in the sum of $500 for
her appearance at the September term of
court, her case having been continued
for sentence, which is another way of
saying go and sin no more.''
When the case of Lea r. Hussay of
Bridgton, was called yesterday, Mr.. Tur-
ner, who appeared for Hon. Geo rye E.
Bird, attorney for Hussey, suggested to
the court that Mr.. Bird is absent from
the state, and so asked for oontinu-
ance, bat Judge Webb decided that the
fact that Mr.. Bird is on his way to
Europa, Is not in itself sufficient reason
why case in court should be delayed
He allowed the case to go over for a
day i'll order to allow the respondent to
see Judge SymOpds.
Ossian W. Gilbert, ex-postmaster at
Kingfield, was hardly able to say "guil-
ty.'' when called upon to plead to the in
dictment. Judge Webb fined him $64O. Sc
the amount Of his shortage, and sentenced
him to nine months confinement in
the Alfred Jail.

NEW YORK'S SECOND CHOICE.
prosperity viii Return With
Reed.'

What Alexander Taylor. DR., of New York
Thinks of the Presidential Outlook
Alexander Taylor, Jr, of New York
who with Arthur Fl. Vinal of Boston and
last evening on his way to Petit Manan,
was interviewed at the Union station
regarding the Presidential outlook in
New York. Mr.. Taylor is a well-known
business man, a leading member of the
Union League club and Repu blican of
prominence. Mr.. Taylor said: "In
the 14th Congressional district of New
York, the feeling is very favorable to Reed
after Morton. L do not look for the no.
mination Of Governor Morton, and be-
lieve that the New York delegation with
the exception of the few delegates for
Mckinley will be for Reed after it is seen
that Morton can't be nominated. The
very friendly to Mr.. Reed, and in fact
business men believe that Reed stands
for a principle. We believe that prosperi-
ty will return with Reed.
SIT has been hurra for MoKinley''
sort of campaign in advance Of the
convention, but that sort of thing is al
most over, and believe that the McKin-
ley boom is also about over.
Reeds position on the money question
is open, strong and manly, and in
strong contrast to the shifting and I'M
certain position OF Mckinley. The plat
form adopted by the Maine Republican
state convention, and which is under
stood to express Reeds own opinions,
helped Reed greatly with business men.
Mckinley seems to have waited to as
certain the trend of public opinion be-
fore he expressed an opinion of his own
on the financial question.
Business men admire an honest,
straightforward man like Reed. OF
course I should like to see Governor Nor
ton nominated, but ii that it out of the
question the second choice of New York
will be Thomas B. Reed.''

"GETTlNG UTA NEWS PAPER
ga Scene of Seeming Confusion to tn,
Initiated"

This is an age of progress and enter
prise and the art of making newspapers
is keeping step to the onward march OF
| the contemporary professions.
While it Is often the unpleasant duty
of one newspaper to disagree with an
other, it sometimes happens that we are
only too happy and glad to coincide with
a statement Of all esteemed oontemporarv.
Such an opportunity has now arisen and
We are only too happy to embrace it.
1t has quite often been the case that we
have felt constrained to disagree with the
sentiments expressed by orr Market
square contemporary, and it is therefore
with peculiar pleasure that we most COR
daily endorse q sentiment which is given
great prominence with great regularity
by that journal. 1t is this:
No paper in Portland prints as much
local news as the Express"
We most cordially endorse the above and
as indisputable proof of the statement
offer the following:
ss Prof. Woodbridge, the famous sanitary
engineer. arrived in this city at noon and
after lunch started out with Mayor Bax-
ter, several mem bers of the committee on
public buildings and Commissioner of
Public Works George N. Fernald to in
spect the sohoolhouses. The first houses
visited were those on the hill in the east
ern part of the city. Prof. Woodbridge
made very thorough examination but
had nothing to say this afternoon in re-
gard to the results of his examination. =
Portland Evening Express of April 2ath.
THE REAL FACTS.
Prof. Woodbridge spent yesterday in
Massachusetts.
He telephoned Mayor Baxter about
noon, he would be unable to come to
Maine till next Thursday.
In the face of this testimony no reput-
able paper will be disposed to question
the truth of the quotation given above.
word of commentator of the remark
able enterprise which secures such a CO.
lossal scoop will not be considered out of
place at this time. We have wondered at
the telephone, the electric car, the roent-
gen rays and many of the scientific mar
vels of this century of progress, but be-
fore this achievement Of our oontempor-
airy; which takes man who remains in
Massachusetts and by its strange hypnot-
ic influence conveys him to Portland,
launches him, Inspeots school houses with
him and makes him refuse to be inter
viewed; these ordinary accomplishments
pale into insignifcance as would the fish
