James Wright.

James Wright was born in Lewiston,
August II, 1873, the son of Timothy and
Susan (Rowe) Wright. He was reared
on farm and attended the public schools
and Lewiston Academy. After complet-
ing his education he engaged in teaching,
and continued in that ayocation in
Maine and Delaware, several years.
In 1867 he was admitted to the Somer-
set county bar, the late Hon. :. d.
Lindsey then being Clerk, and began
practice at Canaan, removing to Skow
hogan in 1869, where he continued in the
practice of his profession until 1893,
when physical innrmities compelled him
to retire.
He was originally Wing, but became
a Republican upon the formation of that
party, and remained an earnest advocate
of its principles during the balance of his
life.
The latter years of his life were passed
with his son and daughter in Washing
ton, d. c., and Lawrence, Mass, who,
with his widow, survive him. His re-
mains were brought to Skowhegan and
placed in the receiving tomb pending
interment

Boston April 1T was a succession
of sensations yesterday at the opening
day of the hearing on the charges
brought against the character and con-
duct of General A. /. Martin. chairman
of the board OF ponce commissioners.
Massachusetts has not had hearing
for many u year that has excited 30
much public interest as has this one. The
Importance of the case is best empha-
sized by the personnel OF the tribunal,
for no other than his eXcellency the
governor, Lieutenant Governor Murray
Crane and Messrs. \. +. Ryder and A.
J. Joslin of the governors council are
the investigators.

DEATH was the statement made by the
general which caused probably the great
est sensation, especially coming as IL
did after his admission that he knew
that his son. Everett, had accepted
$4,000 from an Italian, promising therefor
to use his influence IN procuring for him
a license. though the general also said
that as soon as he had heard of it he
told his son that he must pay the money
back and keep his hands off in the
future.
And then there was the testimony OF
young Man himself. admitting that
he had received money from people who
supposed him to have influence, or in
other words "A pull" with his father,
the understanding being that he should
procure for them the longed for license

red at his home in Skowhegan on Thurs
day morning, April lst. Mr. Rich had
been an invalid for over two years, hav-
ing been stricken with paralytic shock

familiar face to all the older residents of
Skowhegan, having been barber for
many years.
He was a friend to the needy, kind
husband and brother. Death to him was
but sweet release from sickness and
suffering and as is always the case it
brings sadness to the friends while to
him it gives rest and peace.
He leaves a wife, sister ana brother.

Defendants have paid $50 in cash and

One of the defendants, Isabelle Spearing
claims further that she did not sign the

delivered and that therefore there was
no consideration for her signing. Plain
tiff claims that the horse was sound as
warranted and that Isabelle Spearing
signed the notes in pursuance of an
agreement that she would do so if plain

terms. A. Simmons for plaintiff

An orchard well managed may be
made to pay several times as much for
the land occupied and the labor spent as
the best field on the farm. But it will
be poor investment If it is neglected
and suffered to go to ruin. Cultivation
is indispensable to enable the soil to
contribute its fertility to the trees. The
surface must not be left untouched, to
become Covered with rank weeds OF
moss, to lie bare and barren. There ID
nothing better than crop of clover. and
this should be permitted to die down
and decay on the surface. A pillow should
never be suffered in an orchard. Only
the surface should be stirred, lest the
fine feeding roots be injured and
the trees checked i'll their growth A
good narrowing in the fall and two or
three i'll the summer will be all the cul-
tivation an orchard requires. Cole

The Grecian situation

Tuesday was the anniversary of the
commencement of the Greek war of in
dependence In 1921. In Athens there
was a tremendous celebration, flags
being displayed throughout the city, and
professions marching through the
streets all day long. Crowds assembled
in Constitution Square aud listened to
addresses by Greek orators. who, each
and all, declared in favor of WAT. The
real significance of the day was that the
expected did not happen. There were
no riots and no bloodshed. The Greeks
are earnestly patriotic and above all
things desire TO be freed forever from
Turkish influence.
The identical notes Of warning de-
livered, Tuesday, by the representatives
OF the Powers, TO M. Skouzes, the Greek
minister of foreign affairs, have had very
little appreciable affect. Newspapers
declare that they are really of no practi-
cal value in rendering the issues more
certain, because Greece Is we'll aware
that the agreement between the Powers
is quite Fictitious.

The Women S Chess club of New York
is regarded with much interest as it is
the first incorporated chess club started
for women in this country The incor-
porators are Miss Eliza Campbell Foot
Miss Jean L. Nesbit Miss Emily Som
ers Hainos, Mrs Winthrop Parker and
Miss Sophie Downer. The chess season
begins the first Tuesday in November
and ends the last Tuesday in April, 20
meetings being held during the season.
Altogether the idea of woman s chess
club has proved most successful. The
membership is not large, as compare
lively few women play the game, but
the club is growing New York Sun.

A. Ii. Penney.

4. b. Penney, aged - years, died in
Ca aan, March 3lst BY his death there
Went out from this community one of its
foremost aud honored citizens, one
whose life has been identified with the
life of the place for more than fifty
years, having been engaged in the meat
and grocery business for the most of this
time, also constable of the town and
deputy sheriff of the county for more
than fourteen years. He WAS one of the
oldest masons of the place and has been
prominent in the circles of the lodge.
He was an upright citizen, loving son,
husband and father. He was one of
family of eleven children, five of whom,
one sister, Mrs. Marley of Auburn and
four brothers, Lowell of bonneville, n.
Y, Trial and Milton of Oakland, and
Joseph of Waterville, Me-, survive him.
A wife and daughter, Mrs. Oscar Young
of No. Andover, Mass, remain to mourn
tfeir loss, also an aged mother, ninety
three years old who having seen the
earthly family grow less so many times,
now once more bows her head before
God and acknowledges his will as it is
being done. Mr.. Penney has been life
long Universalist. For the larger faith
he always fought and he ever was active
in its support, by it he lived and with it
he died. His funeral services were held
ia the Christian church, Canaan, and
conducted by Rev. Geo. E. Leighton of
the Universalist church of Skowhegan, at
one O'Clock Saturday, p. m. The masons
attended in large numbers and perform
ed their impressive burial service.

Another call is given,
And glows once more with angel steps

The appointment of Gen. Conner to
the u. s. pension agency makes va
cancy in the office of adjutant general at
Augusta to be filled by appointment by
Governor Powers. There are several
candidates for the position among whom
are Gen. John Il. Richards of Gardiner
and Gen. Jonathan p. Cilley of Rockland
who for several years held the position
very acceptably. These are both vete-
rams of the late war. Gen. Cilley as
colonel of the First Maine Cavalry and
Gen. Richards in Massachusetts regt
ment. The office being staff appoint
ment of the chief executive is more a
personal matter than with other State
official positions. There is a feeling
among veterans in Maine that this posi-
ton should be held by one of their
number. We regard this as correct and
believe that, so long as there remains in
our State a man qualified for the posi-
ton and desiring it, who served his
country faithfully and we'll during the
late war, it should not be given to other
CITIZENS. There has been but one ex.
ception to this rule in Maine since the

The death of this promising young
man of Madison, which was noticed in
the REPORTER of April /, has brought
deep sorrow to wide circle of friends
He was the son of Eli Hoyt, and was one
of nine children. Some time since he
went to Worcester, Mass, where he
secured position as attendant in the
Insane Asylum. His energy and faith
fulness soon brought merited promotion.
While engaged in the duties of this posi-
ton he took a severe cold which resulted
in permanent affection of the lungs.
He returned to his home in Madison, but
an attack of pneumonia three months
ago fastened the progress of the disease
already fixed upon him, and he died on
Thursday, March %, in the twenty-sixth
year of his age. He was thoughtful
and considerable of others in his illness,
and died sincerely lamented. He was
engaged to Miss Bertha, only child of
Galen kincaid, prosperous farmer and
the expected union was viewed with
great favor by the friends of both
parties. But his death has blighted
many hopes, and Swallowed many hearts.
His life, though short, was worthy of
imitation, and will be an inspiration for
good to all his young associates. "None
knew him but to love him, none named
him but to praise" The funeral took
place on Saturday, March u, and was
conducted by Rev. f. c. Norcross of
Madison. Thus closes the brief record
of his brave and helpful life.

William A Coffin, the landscape

woman's society, made an earnest plea
in the furtberance of art for the plant
ing of more trees on our thoroughfares.
These play great part in breaking the
lines of our monotonous or often incop-
gruous architecture. He pointed out
that Paris, with climate as rigorous az
ours, owes its beauty to a great extent
to the enrichment that yerdure lends it
for six months of the year. He counted
on the doctors bearing him out IN this
plea on account of the sanitary proper
