True Love

of the Woman Suffrage association the
other afternoon which showed couclu-
sivelv the wisdom of the above remark

who told the story said that she was
present in company with au educated

played fully the thoughts that were in
their hearts 10y the beam upon their
countenances- suddenly the Young man
drew near TO the one whom he aGnred
and said. in a low tone, iuaudible TO
those about him. a few seemingly al
fectiOnate words.
The deaf girl watched the proceedings
with intense interest and suddenly
broke into a broad grin. Her companion
inquired what il was that amused her.
She turned about 50 that the couple
could not see her and replied:
That man said: If all these people
were not here I'd Kiss you. Ii they don't
get out Of the MAY pretty soon I shall

by the motion of their lips.

THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
If Lewiston Doesn't Hurry Up Bangor
Will Get It.

The Bangor News says, On Thursday
Prof. William, R. Chapman called upon
Mayor Beal and stated the facts concern
ing the Maine musical festival, as out
lined in the News of that day, and he
found the mayor ready and willing to
do all possible toward bringing the festi-
val to Bangor. The Lewiston city coun-
Gil was to decide at meeting held
Thursday night what Lewiston would do
in the matter, and until the result of
that meeting is known nothing can be
done here.
In case Lewiston should not provide a
suitable building, there is good prospect
that Bangor will do so, and Mayor Beal
believes that with the proper effort Ban
gor can have the big October jubilee If
the festival is held here, it will be in
an auditorium at Maplewood.

DEERING.
An Unsuccessful Burglary Took Place
Thursday.

Thursday night the marble works of
George W. Leight IN of Deering, near the
entrance to Evergreen cemetery, was
entered by burglars, admission being OBJ
tanned through back window, The
burglars then proceeded to blow open the
safe, breaking the door clean off its
hinges. They appear to have examined
the contents of the safe with great care,
for the bank book, insurance policies,
ETC., were taken to a table and searched
infinitely. The burglars found only three
dollars in money. 1t had evidently been
supposed that Mr.. Leighton Thursday
made large collections and that gave the
idea that he had put a considerable sum
of money in the safe. The burglars, with
out doubt, knew something of Mr.
Leighton's habits and business, hence it
is not believed they were tramps.
A lot of pickaxes, crowbars, shovels,
ETC., have been stolen from the tool house
connected with the rock crusher at Brad.

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
Jesse w. Thurston Guilty of an Assault
on Constable.

There was case of Importance before
the Municipal court yesterday morning,
that against Jesse W. Thurston of South
Windham, who was charged with an as
sault and battery upon Constable Samuel
W. Larrabee of North Windham. Several
witnesses appeared and Assistant County
Attorney Allan represented the state
while Richard Webb acted as counsel for
the respondent.
The trouble occurred last Saturday at
North Windham when the baseball club
of that place was competing on the
diamond with their bitter rivals from
South Windham. The game was an ex-
citing one and was not ended until twelve
innings had been played. According to
the testimony Thurston, during the latter
part of the contest, was called out on a
close decision at the home plate. He at
once disputed the decision and as result
a general row started, in which Thurston
is alleged to have struck the officer who
was busy quelling an inebriated disturber
named Musgrave.
Frank H. Haskell, Edwin W. Strout
and Howard II. Body testified to this
evidence. Mr.. Body assisted the officer
by turning around to Thurston and seized
him by the throat, just enough to color
the young mans countenance.
Thurston denied that he had struck the
officer or that he had interfered in the
Musgrave scuffle.
John G. Nichols, the captain Of the
South Windham aggregation, and Malhon
B. Estes averred that Thurston did not
strike the officer.
Messrs. Allan and Webb argued at
length for their respective clients and
then the court announced that Thurston
was adjudged guilty Of an assault but not
of battery. For the offense a fine of So
was imposed. Thurston appealed from
this decision as he had from that of the
umpire and furnished bonds in that sum
of 500 for appearance at the September
term of the Superior court.
Other cases disposed of were: Wilbur
d. Guilbault. Intoxication; fined 50 and
costs. Ira D. Mason, intoxication; fined
s. and costs. Fred Matthew, intoxica-
ton; fined So and costs.
