A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE

With the departure of another
year when a review il made of the
condition of affairs, it is only right
that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables everv-
one to battle with llfe's problem and
figure for themselves the profit or
loss on the trial balance sheet.
Though the bank account NAV be
large and each ones material cain be
great, ii would not be surprising if
1t suddenly dawns upon many that
good health has been greatly impov-
erished by the low condition of the
blood. II Is in this state that the
Tactic acid in the vital fluid attacks
the flbrous tissues, particularly the
joints, making known the local man
ifestations OF rheumatism. Thousands
OF people have found in Hoods Sar-
saparilla the great blood purier
positive and permanent cure for
rheumatism.

Skowhsgan Must Look Alter Mrs. Sarah K.
Jewell, Say the 0vsrsssrs.

There has been considerable interes
aroused In the suit which has beer
brought against the town OF Skowhe.
gan by Augusta, to recover in the pau
per case of Mrs. Della X. Jewell. The
following regarding the case. appears
in the Bangor News, as Skowhegar
despatch.
Mrs. Jewell became a town charge
here, four years ago, and from that
time considerable work has been done
by selectmen and overseers Of the poor
Of different towns and cities to ascer.
tain the legal residence of Mrs. Jewell
The womans maiden name was
Phillips. and when quite young was
married to man now living in Somer-
set county by the name of George Pom.
roy from whom she was divorced She
has a girl by the name of Pomroy now
about II years old
The girl although living with hel
mother is a town charge on the town
where her father has legal residence
which Is the plantation of Mayfleld
Mrs. Jewell has had remarkable
SNA~fSA' N1AAS - a FREDERICKSBURG WOuldI
about 30 years old. She is now at the
poor farm in Augusta and is such an
expense that the city is working hard
to rid itself of such burden. hence
the law suit that will be contested to
the end. After being divorced from
Pomroy. she married Charles Jewell
from whom she is now divorced. Mr.
Jewell now lives in Boston. Four years
ago, Mrs. Jewell was taken to Augusta
insane hospital She was a confirmed
morphine eater. After staying at the
hospital short time she was taken to
the town farm in this place for short
time. While at Augusta, the town au-
thorities placed her daughter in the
Industrial school for girls at Hallowell.
After leaving the town farm. Mrs. Jew
ell proceeded to have her child released
from the Industrial school as her com
mitment was Illegal. She ran up a
large bill in Lewiston which that city
asked Skowhegan to pay, but as it
was not for this town to pay, the bill
remains unpaid. Mrs. Jewell, since
leaving her last husband. has given
birth to three children. all of which
died. She is now sick at the city farm
in Augusta. Should the case be tried
at the September term it will prove a
very sensational affair.
One of the overseers of the poor of
the city of Augusta was interviewed.
by Journal reporter, Wednesday, to
hear its side of the question He said
We have investigated the case, and
found that the woman's last husband.
Jewell, was. for five years. resident
of Skowhegan, which settles beyond
further dispute that she is a charge
of that town. We are also, fully con-
WINGED that the selectmen of Skowhe-
gan. are fully aware of this, and that
their purpose is to rid Skowhegan of
any further expense She has already
cost it considerable sum, bills having
been paid by that town on her account
in Lewiston, reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. We have also learned
that similar bills have been paid Fair
field.
We have not the slightest intention
of taking the charge, and as far as
sensations are concerned. we can see
no prospect whatever"

feet, and is spoon-shaped. being nine
teen feet from tip to tip. 1t will be tried
today II the wind is not too unfavor-
able.
EASY TO OPERATE.
The Lilienthal machine is apparently
easy to operate. 1t was carried yester-
day to the brow Of the smooth, sandy
hill, and Mr.. Herring, who had the most
experience Of any Of Mr. Chanute's as
sistants In work Of this kind, placed his
arms over the two parallel bars made
for the purpose. and while the others
balanced 1t In the air started on a run
down the steep slope Within ten yards
Mr.. Herring's feet were lifted of the
ground and he went sailing over the
valley.
With every gust Of the wind ne would
have to shift his weight to keep the
machine going straight. The greatest
difticulty Is right there. The wind shifts
Be suddenly at times that no one can
move fast enough to keep up with 1t.
On this account both Mr. Herring and
the Others who essayed the wings of
Pegasus came to grief. However, they
met with no harm. as the machine al.
ways falls right side up and descends
quite gradually.
A small model with a spread Of 7.2
square feet was also operated. 1t was
sailed as kite without a tall There
isn't small boy in the country that
would not be proud to own a kite like
this for II can be made to rise from q
valley while the operator stands on
a hill.
Mr.. Chanute was desirous Of making
the experiments without the knowledge
Of the press and sought Millers on that
account
THE trouble with most men that
have experimental on this subject is
that they have bitten off too much at
once" he said. This Is only one phase
of the subject. After a man Is able to
guide and control q machine in the air.
1t may, perhaps. be found less difficult
than has been feared to secure a motor
that will not consume too much fuel for
its lifting power"
Lillenthars experiments began In
1883 and have been continued ever
since Some Of his machines have found
their way to almost every country In
Europe and to the United States, but
few except the inventor have been able
to master the problems Of their manipu-
lation.
