vura fame, "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, or write to him and give the little
one the benefit Of the best advice. No

tation or advice, whether you call or
write. The success of til Is world-famous

THREE-YEAR-oLD BADLY BURNED

Dover, N. H., November "A triple
burning tragedy was averted this morn
ing at the home of Sinclair Marshall, %
Baker street. The 3-year-old son of MIR.
and Mrs. Marshall was frightfully
burned about the face and side, and lies
near the point of death.
The mother had occasion to go to the
house Of Mrs. Scott neighhor, shortly
before 10, and left her three children on
the bed in her room. When she returned
the house was full Of suffocating smoke
from burning clothing, and her infante
were screaming. The bed was in flames
and the clothing Of Luther Bernice, the
eldest, was burned to his body, which
was mass of raw flesh on the right ex-
tending up his face nearly to the eye.
The second child received some slight
burns and the flames had nearly eaten
their way to the baby when Mrs. Marshall
entered. The fire was evidently caused
by the Oldest child, who pulled down
some matches from the manteI near the
bed and ignited them.
The fire department was called out, but
the blaze was extinguished by neighbors
before the apparatus arrived. Two ply
sicians were summoned to attend the
child. They 10 not look for its recovery.

APPEAL WITHDRAWN,
Sudden Termination of the Contest o,,a, :,
Windham Woman's viii,
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Saco, November 2.-Mrs. Marcia Libby
of this city, one .of..the legatees under the
will of her aunt, Mrs. Nancy Edward
of Windham, has withdrawn her anne,
from the decision of Judge Peabody of
the Cumberland county probate court
disallowing the will.
The will in question was made on the
deathbed of the testator, whom Mrs. LIB
by nursed in her last sickness. Isaac
Edwards, husband of the dying woman,
was not allowed in the room while the
will was being written and signed. By
the terms of the will Mrs. Libby was to
receive Mrs. Edwards bank deposit.
amounting to about $1,000, and the homo
stead, who had been decided to her by her
husband shortly after their marriage, was
bequeathed to him.
He demonstrated against allowing the
will, claiming that his wife's mental
condition was unfit for the execution
of such transaction and alleging that
she was unduly influenced by Mrs Libby
and the local Justice of the peace who
drew up the instrument. Judge Pea
body's decision was in the husbands IA
vor and an appeal was Immediately taken
by Mrs. Libby's counsel. The withdraw
al of that appeal ends the contest. A
prior Will, found among the papers of the
testator, will now stand. 1t gives Ethe
whole estate to Mr.. Edwards.

PERU CABINET TION HC.
CEPTED,

Lima, (via Ga WESTON, Texas Novem-
Der 2.-President Pierola has not yet ac-
cepted the resignation of the cabinet, which
was rendered last week because of vote
of censure which the congress proposed
to pass upon the government because of
its failure to promulgate various meas
ures passed by the special session of Con
gress last year. The exact reason for the
Presidents delay in accepting the resig-
nation has not yet been made public but
it probably is due TO an accusation
brought against the minister of finance
of Illegally disposing of funds which, un-
der the law. should have been applied in
the payment of public Indebtedness.
