house. All of them were drowned and
were laid out In the house when the
parents returned Mrs. Smith thinks
since then Mrs. Southworth has had
spells when she was not right in her
mind. Also she may have been affected
by the death of her husband. who ex-
pired suddenly while working in the

Other neiahbors, however, say that Mrs

On the day before her death Mrs.
Southworth made call on Mrs. Eugene
Tenney. She did not then appear like
woman who conte mplated suicide. She
was in good spirits and said that she in
tended to visit her son at Cornish. Before
leaving Mrs. Tenney's Mrs. Southworth
said she had finished the pants on which
she had been sewing and was going to
get some more from the shop. sMrs. Ten

TRE SULTAN WARNED.
Must Prevent Further Atrocities In
Crete
OR FORFETT THE GOOD WILL OF
IHE POWERS.

Note To This Effect Read To His Majesty
BY the German Ambassador-The
Macedonian Commission Said To Be
Stirring Up An Insurrection.
Berlin, June 14.-Under the arrange
ments with other ambassadors to the
Porte, Baron Saurma Won Jeltsch, the
German ambassador at Constantinople,
obtained an audience with the Sultan
Friday and read to his majesty note
warning Turkey against the certainty of
losing the good will of the powers by
permitting the continuance of the
atrocities in Crete Subsequently the
Austrian am bassador. Baron dc Calice,
obtained an interview with the Sultan
and emphasized the views expressed by
the German ambassador.
Berlin newspapers Saturday published
reports that the powers had sent collec-
tive note to the Porte which probably
had reference to the less formal COM
munication read to the Sultan by Baron
Saurma Won Jeltsoh Friday. The separ-
ate interview with the Sultan by Baron
de Calice was due to the fact that he was
obliged to make special representation
bearing upon the interests of Austria in
becoming acute. The Macedonian COM
mission sitting in Sofia, Bulgaria, has
decided to make demand for the
autonomy of Maoedoniasand is practically
conspiring to bring about insurrection
1t is believed here that Austria has
| asked the Sultan to consent to the occu-
patton of Macedonia by Austrian troops
| in the event of an uprising there. NJ. De
| Kallay, Austrian minister of finance, in
| speaking upon the Austrian budget in
the Reiohstrath Friday claimed that
Austria Il ungary had become a Balkan
power since the empire had acquired
Bosnia and had right to interfere In
the Balkan peninsular.
NJ. De Kallay limited at the plans dis
cussed at st. Petersburg for the confeder-
alton of the Balkan states under Russian
proteotorate and said in connection there
W ibh that the Prince of Montenegro and
the King OF Seryia were expected to hold
conference with Prince Ferdinand of
Bulgaria at Sofia at tire end OF the
present month. .
The physical ailments of the Sultan are
among the factors causing the present
of the German ambassador to Turkey
are aimed at immediate practical action
in Crete, assisting the Ka1ser's policy of
keeping the peace of Europe. Stimuli
taneously with this move On the part OF
Germany, Russia urged the Bulgarian
government to put stop at any cost to
the armed. bands raised by the Mace
donian commission crossing the frontier
and has asked the Greek government to
prohibit the sending of men and muni-
tions of war from Greece into Crete.

STATE COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT
Baccalaureate Sermon by President Harris
Yesterday.

Orono, June 14.--President A BRAIN W.
Harris this morning delivered the bao-
calaureate sermon to the State College
graduates at the Methodist church.
He said in part: The first psalm pre-
sents two men who IN q general way
may be taken as types Of all men olassi-
fed as bad and good. The first man
walks in the oounsels of the ungodly,
stands in the way of sinners, sits in the
seats of the scornful. The second fnds,his
delight in the law Of the lord. The de-
scription of the first man is not attractive
however seductive his faults may be.
Neither is the second picture attractive.
It contains too little Of life and action to
appeal to us strongly. The popularity of
the psalm grows out of its exquisite
poetioal merit and the truthfulness of the
pioture of the bad man, not out of its de-
scription of the good man. This dsscrip-
tion is misunders TODD. Rightly taken
the picture is full Of suggestions and in
spiration. What is law of the Lord and
in what sense does the good man mediate
on it day and night? Law is of two
kinds, one ia called the law of the land
and consists of constitutions, statutes and
common law. The other Is called pub
lie, and consists of the opinion of good
mon. The first restraints bad men, the
second inspires good mon. The first is a
definite law; the second Is vague. The
first may be entirely unknown to a good
man, the second is part of him.
1t has it's best exemplifoations in the
lives of men especially in the life of
Christ. To be understood it must be
studied in the bible, in the history of
good men, in the final success of
righteous causes, in the work of the
church, in the enthusiasm of oonsecrated
services.

Arrest Of Bert Howe of Manchester
N. HI.

He Escaped from the Industrial School
but Will Probably be Taken to the
State Prison.
Last evening Deputy Marshal Hartnett
had talk by.telephone with the. superin-
tendent of the Manchester, N. II. Indus
trial School, who asked him to arrest
Bert Howe Of Manchester, who escaped
from the school in October, 1895, and
who had not been heard from after his
escape. He said that Howe, who is q
boy of II, was convicted Of breaking and
entering and was sentenced to two years
in the state prison at Concord, but in
consideration of his youth, the sentence
was changed to the Industrial school
during his minority. The supefintend-
ent added that If arrested the boy would
be taken to prison to serve out his orig
inal sentence. The superintendent said
that Information had been received that
Mrs. Howe, the mother of the boy had
communicated with boy named Stew
art Wakefield, at the West End Hotel in
Portland.
Deputy Hartnett at once went to the
West End and found that Stewart Wake
field was employed in the billiard room
and was doing we'll. 1t took the deputy
three hours hard hunting before he To-
Gated the boy at a house on B street.
Howe is bright young fellow, and
his record here has been excellent. He
seems to have had good luck in getting
work and to have given good satisfac-
tion to his employers. He said to Deputy
Hartnett after he was taken to the stat
ion that he had not telephoned or tele-
garphed to his mother or anyone else at
Manchester. He said that he received
letter from her last Friday. He seemed
more concerned for his mother than for
himself.

Done In st. Louis.
St. Louis, June 13.-Every inoo ming
train today brought crowds of delega tes
and others who have come to attend the
immense waiting rooms and the midway
of the Union station presents a scene of
activity. Among the people to arrive
today were ex-Gov. Foraker and party
of Ohio, who came on the Glover Leaf
route at 7.40 a. m. Mr.. Foraker will
place Maj. Mckinley in nomination be-
fore the convention.
He was Immediately driven to the ST.
Nicholas and had breakfast with Gov.
Bushnell of Ohio and several oompan-
ions who arrived at 7. 10 a. N. in speo-
ial car. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, who
is to nominate Levi P. Morton, came In
his private car on the Big Four, which
reached Union station at 730.
The silver men were early on the
ground. and for the first few days there
WAS considerable silver talk. Finally
a conference was proposed, but it was
not held, 1t heing stated by nearly ell OF
the prominent silverites that until Sena-
tor Teller arrives there could be nothing
done and the silver forces could not be
organized. Mr.. Teller will probably be
here tonight, and there will be revival
Of the silver discussion. The Western
men have been coming in during the
day, but they are not doing very much
talking. In fact, they found the gold
sentiment SO strong that they have nc
hope whatever of making any particular
show in the convention. Then they are
finding that a majority of the Republi,
cans from the silver states will not bolt
or leave the Republican party if they dc
not get what they want. In fact, the
silver fight does not assume very great

The anti Mckinley men at the Illinois
headquarters are greatly exercised over
the report that 18 uninstructed delegates
from that state are likely to join their
associates ana vote as a unit for Mckin-
ley.
The New Hampshire delegation this
afternoon chose Frank Streeter mem
her of the committee on resolutions; g.
3. Gafney, member of the com mittee on
credentials; John Fl. Brown, memb er of
the committee on permanent organiza-
tion; G. 2. Mecens, mem Der Of the COM
mittee on rules; W. d. Sawyer, member
of the committee on notification; John
a. Spaulding, honorary vice president;
Jas. A. Wood, honorary secretary.
1t was agreed to cast the first ballot as
q unit for Thomas B. Reed. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that Mr.. Streeter
should support the gold plank in the
platform.
The Rhode Island delegation made pub
lie its organization today. Walter A.
Rec will be committee on resolutions:
Samuel W. Allen, committee on creden-
tials; j. z. Soudburn, notification COM
mittee..
The IL Maine delegates, accompanied
by nearly 100 political friends, arrived
today. At meeting held later, it was
agreed that Amos l.. Allen. Speaker
Reeds private secretary, who is one of
the delegates at large, should be placed
on the committee on resolutions, and
Forest Goodwin on credentials. Joseph
H. Manley was selected fortnight ago
to represent the state for the next four
years on the national committee. The
Maine politicians are reticent when ques-
toned as to feeling in regard to Manley' g
published statement 1t has been openly
declared that Manley had ruined his
political future as a result of his dec lar
alton, but to what extent it will affect
his membership in the national commit
tee no one would say. Much will depend
on the position assumed by Mr.. Reed,
VIII ose personal representative, Mr.. Allen,
will reach town tonight.
The threat of bolt in the Massachu-
setts delegation this afternoon caused a
decided sensation. When George W.
Lyman of Boston was nominated for
member of the national committee an
emphatic protest was forthcoming. I'M
mediately following this nomination NJ
V. jefferson with much emphasis said
that If an effort was made to place Ly-
man on the committee Reed could not
have the solid vote of Massachusetts,, in
that event Mckinley would have three
Votes on the first ballot. Without at.
tempting to argue the matter the session
was adjourned until tomorrow morning
when it was said Lyman would be
elected as he has II of the 80 votes of the
delegation.

They basa their hopes on the attitude OF
Morton, Reed and other eastern men in
regard to the ice-presidenoy and point
to ex-Gov. Bulkley's record as mayor of
Hartford four consecutive terms and gov
ernor of Connecticut two terms, and to
his business standing and army record.
They claim he is the most des irable
man for the place. Ex-Governor Bulk
ley is q delegate large from his state.
Today he said: "My people seem to
be agreed in urging my name for the

other states have rendered their support.

man almost as solidly as one from their
own state. Through many business in
terests I am not unknown in the west.
and since my arrival here many dele
gates have offered to support me-"

of Chicago, is pushing Gov. Bulkley's
campaign with great energy. He de-
olares that the strength of the entire east

!, Mr.. Platt still insists that the word
F'gold" must appear in the financial
plank of the platform. Nothing else, he
says, will satisfy the east.
"Will the east not be satisfied with q
declaration to maintain the present
standard, and against the free coinage of
silver at any ratio?" Mr.. Platt was asked
today.
'That is not strong enough, Responded
Mr.. Platt. "We must have gold, gold
in the platform. There must be no mis-
take in the party's position on the
money question.
Mr.. Platt was in conference good
share of the day with representative
nsn not Mckinley men, with reference
to the financial plank. He found g graf.
flying responsiveness to his insistence
that the platform should declare for
the single gold standard. There are gold
men here from the Dakotas, Indiana,
Illinois and other western states which
are known to be saturated with silver
sentiment. Their conferences encour-
aged him to believe that majority of
the convention will not only favor the
gold standard, but will urge declaration
for it.
