A coNruMAcIous PRISONER.
This Maine Man Has Been In Jail
Three Years for Ccntempt.

This Maane Man Has Been IN Jail
Three Years for Contempt.
William Davis, of Carmel, Me-. has
been confined in Bangor ju. for near
" 3h years for contempt of court.
There seems to be little prospect of
Ais ever getting out.
It all came about through q civil suit
against Davis to recover damages for
an assault alleged to have been conn
mitted by him upon boy named Rob-
ert Pease on May 1. 1902. The jury
gave verdict for plaintiff and judg-
ment was issued, but Davis, who was
known to have a considerable sum of
money, refused to pay. For his re-
fusal he was adjudged guilty of con-
tempt and sent to Jail, where he has
remained ever since.
When a Maine creditor puts debtor
in jail because he won't pay the creditor
has to pay So or $3.50 week for the
prisoners board. Sometimes the prison
or weakens, settles his bill and is re-
leased, but more often the creditor gets
weary of paying board and allows, the
debtor to 60 free. It doesn't often hap
pen, however, that a city, county or
state has to pay the board of man
who has never been convicted of q GRIM
inal offense.
Davis had $4,000 in bank before his
!, trial. but withdrew it and concealed it.
He was committed to Jail September IA,
1sQ3.i It was at first thought that he
would tell where he had put his money,
but he has never shown the slightest
sign of breaking down.
!. In March, 1894, the county commits
sioners grew weary of paying two dol.
lars a week for Davis board and told
the county attorney to hustle around
and see if he couldn't hunt up some
hole in the law through which Davis
might get out. The attorney hustled,
but in vain. There was no hole-not
even a crack--in the law by which the
unyielding Carmelite might escape. II
he persisted in keeping his wealth a
dark secret he'd just have to stay III
Jail, that was all there was ofit
The county commissioners got mad
and declared that they would pay nc
more board bills of Davis contract.
ing after March Is, 1895, and they
seemed to expect that when the money
stopped Sheriff Reed would open the
door and tell Davis to quit the jail's
bed and board. But Lawyer Peregrine
White, counsel for plaintiff, told the
sheriff that if he released Davis he
would be liable for the escape of the
prisoner. That settled it. The sheriff
has taken no chances and held on to
Davis, being assured that the county
would have to pay. the board bill. And
the county has always paid, the ex
pense thus far being about $500.
Lawyer Laughlin, who committed
Davis, says that so far as he can sec
the prisoner. may spend the rest Of his
days in Bangor jail.-N: Y. World.

Attractive Additions to Feminine Cos-
tunes for the Season.

Attractive AddtttORN to Feminine Co.'S
tunes for the Season.
y, Bonnets this seasont tare very much
more attractive than the conglomerate
creations called hats
In compliment to the queen of Eng
land there Is resemblance among
many of the imported models to styles
popular early in the Victorian era.
Some of the new tailor costumes have
bolero fronts and narrow position
backs. The vest is fitted blouse of
fancy silk laid in soft folds across the
'front.' or else tucked to form a deep
yoke.
The crossed or surpliced blouse will
be highly favored this summer in maxi
ing up toilets of rosebud organdies,
Louis XVI. striped muslins, printed
lawns, soft India mulls and similar dia-
phanous stuffs. On some models the
folds end at the belt under a fancy belt
with very handsome buckle, or else
girdle made to match the dress trim
mings. In other cases the folds termin-
ate in long scarf ends that are various
ly adjusted at the side, or often they
are Carried to the back and loosely tied
like the scarf ends of Marie Antoinette
fchu.
Beautifully curving revers and sharp
ly notched fronts are characteristics of
the new elegant Louis coat basques
made by Rauchnitz, Mayer and Felix.
A marked feature of the modes this
season is the abundance of decoration
about the neck and shoulders; gauzy
ruches, fraises and ruffs, accordion
plated frills and bows of great size are
worn in the most becoming fashion,
and upon fascinating evening-dress
models for the coming summer are
Medici, Robespierre. Stuart, Victorian,
Josephine, Queen Bess and numberless
other stately collars of historical name
and fame. -8e
Amazon cloth in many bright self
colors is favored by French and Eng
lish modistes and tailors. This make of
lustrous cloths wears well if one pays
q fair price for it, but cheaper grades
are quite apt to spot with rain, and in
other ways it is also likely to prove un-
+. satisfactory wear.
The new canvas, which is somewhat
coarse, is particularly shiny. It is
made up over a silk lining Of contrast
ing color, or otherwise is lined with
self-color in a lighter or darker tint
than the canvas. Gray watered silk
forms the lining of new sheer canvas
gown Of silver tint, dotted and barred
with mauve. The effect Of the moired
silk through the transparent meshes Of
the canvas is extremely rich and pretty.

BIRDS AND KITES.

Feathered Creatures Cannot Unaer-
stand the Strange Flyers.
Many amusing experiences have been
the lot Of the scientists who have been
manipulating kites for scientific pur-
poses. Large birds are always inter-
ested in the strange devices floating in
the air and cannot quite make out what
they are. Prompted by sharp curios-
ity they hover around the floating kites
and subject themselves to the danger
Of becoming entangled in the sflken
string and being dragged down to
earth.
No bird. however, has ever alighted
on q kite or attacked one. While one
scientist was flying train of five kites
couple of years ago a large silver
tipped eagle came suddenly out Of the
higher air and swooped round and
round the first kite, looking against the
sunset sky like huge silver ball. As
the train of kites was pulled in the
eagle followed, visiting one kite and
then another, seeming uncertain just
what to do. In a few minutes, when
he seemed to have decided that they
were not good to eat, and he knew moth
ing about them, anyway. he indignant
" few of and was lost TO view.
Another experience was had with a
stork that came from the New Jersey
side of the Hudson and flew straight for
the queer object in the air. He appar-
entity had made up his mind to go
straight through it, but changed and
dove underneath. He went around and
above it. and through glass it could
be seen that he cooked his eye at the
intruder in most comical manner. He
started away a few hundred feet.
changed his mind. and came swooping
back. He finally reluctantly went
away, mystified over this queer addi-
ton to the inhabitants of the air.
While kites were high in the air one
March focks of geese flying in the B.
wedge flew over. They invariably
stopped, broke up, lowered above the
queer object, and. at last. slowly re-
formed and few away. While the larger
birds all come from heights above the
kites, the small birds of the air will
alight on the string holding the kite
and sway to and fro.-Chieago News.

Where n the Alleged Integrity Of the
Turkish Enpires
That idle talk about the integrity Of
the Turkish empire deceives nobody to-
day. The dismemberment Of Turkey be-
gan oyer 100 years ago. In 1889 Turkey.
lost the Crimea. In 1880 she lost Greece.
In 1857 Moldavia and Wallachia, the two
Danubian principalities, were united
end finally became the present flourish
ing kingdom Of Roumania under king
Charles In 1881. In 1862 the Turkish gar
rison evacuated Belgrade, and in 1878
Servia became an Independent king
dom. Bulgaria is virtually indepen-
dent under Prince Ferdinand, and
Turkey quietly acquiesced in the abb
sorption of eastern Roumelia in 1887.
Kars and ,Batum were snatched by
Russia in 1878. England seized Cyprus
in the same year, and Austria was COM
fortably installed in Bosnia and Her
zcgovina
Where is the alleged integrity of the
Turkish empire in the face of the above
historical facts? Bosnia and Herze-
govina, two essentially Mussulman
provinces, have nothing in common
with Austria, which now rules over
them. But when the question of Crete
and Greece comes to be considered all
Christian Europe shakes with holy hor-
TOR at the unreasonable aspirations of
Greece in seeking to free an island in
habited by homogeneous population
protesting the same faith and situ-
ated at it's very doors. But in this ad-
vanced era Of civilization new force
that makes for justice is always felt on
occasions like this among civilized ma
tions, and that is .'public opinion"
While Lord Salisbury was declaring in
the house oflords that Crete cannot be
united to Greece 400 English liberals
were signing a telegram of sympathy
to King George and monster meet
ing Of $4,000 Englishmen in Hyde Park
were passing resolutions in favor of
Greece.-North American Review.

skINNINo RATTLERs ALIVE.

Ths Process Necessary to Take On the
skin In the Best Condition.
Reuben Etters, game warden for tho
Spruce Rum Rod and Gun club, Of
Bellefonte, Pa, lately told of expert
ences he has had with rattlesnakes
Speaking of snakes in general, he said:
Il fear copperheads because they do
not give warning and can strike with
out being coiled, an act not possible
with any other specimen Of the reptile
family. Copper snakes are invariably
found along the water and never make
an EFFORT to escape, no matter how good
an opportunity they may have. They
prefer giving battle to anything that
may cross their path.
"Rattlesnakes, as a rule, are found
along the rocks away from the water,
aud they never strike before giving
warning unless surprised; neither can
they strike unless they are in coil. Oh,
yes; ! kill many rattlers every sum
mer. Last summer slaughtered some
thing moro than 200 big fellows, and
I slkinned every one Of them alive. I
always skin . rattler alive, because in
killing them Arst you can hardly avoid
spelling the hides, and rattlesnake
slxins are becoming quite valuable of
late. The process ! adopt 10 this: I
place q forked stick over the reptiles
head and hold II TO the gropnd. Then,
placing the stick under ths pit Of my
arm, catch the snake by the tail with

the other hand rip it open ON the
belly from tho tail to the head. Then
loosening tho akin from the body at

and yank The hide on in much the Same
way - You would skin an eel. I

These convict roadmakers do not como
In contact with FREQ labor for the
| reason that they are not employed on
tho roads or streets inside tho corpo-
rate limits, but on the country roads
leading into towns which heretofore
have received little attention.
For miles in every direction tho
roads leading into this city are now
, macndamiZcd, and present II beautiful
appearance. Some OF the country
roads arc bcttcr than the roadways of
some OF tho streets within the corpora
tion, although tho convict system has
| been In operation only u year or two.
The work Ia now being extended far
thcr into the country, and it will not
bc long before the country roads.
throughout tho counties where the:
system is in torce will be In splendid
condition. The best roads In the State.
arc to be seen in Mecklenburg County.
0l which the cotton manufacturing
city OF Charlotte is tho county seat.
} There the system has bcen In opera
tion longer than elsewhere. Even
before the present general law was en-
acted Mccklenburg hired the convicts
from tho commissioners Of neigh bor-
ing counties to work It's public roads.
Tho result IS that for twenty miles or
moro in every direction around Char
lotto there are fine macadam and SHELF
| roads, ride over which Is treat.
One great point Is that practically the
only cost OF tho improved roads is the
material, rs 1t costs no moro to feed
the convicts whom they are employed
than when they were Idle. With the
good roads comes an agitation for wide.
tires, to tho end that what has baen.

Now, as to the profits In good reads.
The towns and cities which have MADE.
entrance easy find that trade thereby
comes to thcm. Farmers desert old
markets for the now ones, although
the old markets may be nearer home,
being influenced by tho ledge OF
how much cheaper large loads may be
hauled over well-made roads. OF
course they buy where they sell, and
one consequent gratifying result is o
competition between business centres
in the matter OF good roads.
