Matthews VS.. Prentice. This case was
given to the jury at 10.45 At 1890 a
verdict was returned for the plaintiff for
$3.50. '...'
w. H. Savage VS.. Timothy O'Donnell.
c. F. Johnson for plaintiff. E. F. Webb
for defendant. This is an action of tres
pass on real estate. in which the plaintiff
claims that the defendant tore up and
broke down his fence and entered upon
his premises and trampled down his grass
the fence and grass being of the value
of $40.
The premises are situated on Chaplin
street. Waterville, and the real plaintiff
is Capt. Horatio Blanchard. who repre-
sents in this case the estate of his de-
ceased wife. Savage being a tenant.
The plaintiff says that in the first place,
by agreement of the parties the line was
run in 1885 by competent surveyor and
that the line as he then found it was
marked, and O'Donnell then agreed to it,
but NO fence was built Recently the
tenant, Savage, complained of a sink
spout belonging to the defendant and de-
PENDANT in retaliation forbade little girl
of plaintiff crossing the line and coming
upon his lawn. Savage then by authority
erected temporary wire fence. which
was torn down by defendant. Plaintiff
then called upon the surveyor. who ran
the line in 1855. and he relocated it. Saw
age then regretted his fence. being care
full to keep on his side of the line of 1885.
This fence was torn up by the defendant
and thrown into the yard of the plaintiff.
The plaintiffs case was concluded at
4.30 and the defence was opened.
The defence is that for more than 40
years the. defendant and his predecessors
in title have occupied at least II inches
beyond the line now claimed by plaintiff,
openly, potoriously and adversely. They
admit that one of the monuments set up
in iS h,,f

line from it's true course al the other end

AT ATHENS.
Situation Greatly Complicated by Revival OF
Hos.ities In Ep;rus

Athens, May 15.-The resumption of
offensive operations in Epirus greatly
complicates the situation and tends to
hamper the negotiations for peace. The
evident intention of tbe Greek COM
manders is to capture the Turkish po-
sitions there in order to show that they
have not been defeated.
In an interview, NJ. Ralli, the premier,
repeated his statement that humani-
tartan motives are responsible for the
advance in Epirus, but he did not deny
the advantage which might be hoped for
from the capture of Prevesa and the
occupation of the adjoining Turkish ter
ritory.
I'VE are still at war;" he said, land
until an armistice is concluded, Greece
retains her liberty of action. We can
not allow our activity to be confined to
Thessaly, where the Turks are prepon-
derant. The powers have hindered us
from acting in Crete. but Greece cannot
bc barred everywhere, nor compelled to
restrict her operations to a limited area.
I'VE have done our best to obtain an
arm!stice, and. until II Is accorded, we
must act where and when we can. If
we have not already prosecuted the war
at various points and among the islands
of the Aegean. II is only because we have
taken into consideration the sufferings
to which the Greek population might be
subjected"
The government apparently thinks
that a renewal of the war will hasten
instead of retard the armistice. This
calculation may prove to be correct but
IL is more likely that Turkey will seize
upon 1t as an excuse for delaying the
armistice, and will deal crushing blow
In Thessaly.
A Domokos dispatch says the Turks
have retired in the direction of Phar-
salos.
General Smolenski has dismissed all
the irregulars from his camp, believing
that they are responsible for many Of
the Greek disasters, and he threatens to
punish with death any one who intrudes
among the troops
The Greek government learns that
Turkey has decided to resort to piracy
against Greek merchantmen, and M.
Skouloudis. the foreign minister. will
protest to the powers.

BEAUTY is WEALTH.

Beauty Is as essential to woman as any
other quality, with beauty of form and
feature comes beauty of mind and charac-
ter. Physical beauty is a rounded form,
the brightly tinted cheek, the vivacious
eye, a certain ease and grace of manner,
which indicates a suberabundance of
physical strength. Very few women pos
sess these qualities, but very many more
might possess them who do not. II you
feel that you are losing vitality, losing
your beauty, losing your strength, II you
feel that your face which was once plump
and rosy, is becoming thin and sallow,
that wrinkles (Which are the terror to all
pretty women) are beginning to appear,
take our advise and try that greatest of
discoveries, the "THE MASSAGE FACE
CUP" which is the only means known to
science to convert a thin and sallow ex
preston into a plump and rosy face. II
will transform face with plain or homely
features into an expression of grace and
beauty. Physiology teaches US that II we
would be strong, we must exercise the
muscles which need the developing. Ex-
ercise causes the blood to rush to that
part of the body called into action, the
muscle il fed and strengthened by the
fresh blood and will therefore develop.
The Massage Cup will do for the face,
when properly applied, by contracting
and relaxing the muscles, what exercise
will do for the other parts of the body.
Ifyou would have pinkish complexion,
II you would like face plump and rosy,
II you would like to remove that "horrid"
wrinkle, send One Dollar to US and we will
mall you the great "MAssAaE FACE CUP"
with full directions for It's use. Remember
you can have your money back II you say
so.

The action of the License Commissioners
in holding secret meeting Monday even
ing Is causing considerable talk upon the
streets. At the last regular meeting the
Board voted to adjourn until the 18th of
May and to continue all pending applica-
tions until that time. In accordance with
that programme those who were directly
interested In tie business to be considered
at that meeting were surprised to read in
the papers that the Board had met secretly
and acted upon some of the applications.
At the last regular meeting OF the License
Board the application Of Owen Rice was
continued until the 18th of May. The
board, however, met In secret before the
advertised time and gave the petitioner
leave to withdraw.
This action is at variance with al estab-
lished parliamentary laws, and there IN no
doubt Of the illegality Of their action.
Several prominent lawyers say that had
the board granted that application In
the face of pending remonstrances the
courts would not sustain it. Then, II II
were Illegal in one reepect, consequently 1t
must be illegal as far - it affects Mr Rice's
interests.

will be made at the meeting to be hsid to-
night.
