A Judge Says the Wife's Denial of
Guilt Was False,

New York, Aug. 1S.-By a decision
handed down by the appellate division OF
the supreme court yesterday in the case
of Franklin A. Stearns against his wife

vorce, not only the question upon which
the appeal was based was settled, but

and his wife made application for ALI
mony pending the trial. Judge Cohen
allowed her SIS week.
Through Joseph E. Bullen. Stearns ap-
pealed to the appellate division. The
rule is to allow alimony to the wife in
such an action, in this particular case
despite her denial, 1t is very eviden,
that the charges are true.
1.-THE wife," it says. lin applying for
temporary alimony, If a defendant, must
always show that she has a substantial
Gefense to the action. In the present
case the defendants mere general de-
NAL of guilt is plainly false. 1t can only
have been interposed to deceive the court
and secure, unmeritoriously, the benefits
of the ordinary rule"
Stearns was married in 1856. His wife
who was Miss Ellis, had been a men,
Der Of several opera companies, and was
also contralto in the choir Of the Phil
lips Presbyterian Church. at Seventy
third Street and Madison Avenue In

Later he began suit for divorce but

who had gathered evidence had disap-
peared. and the case was dismissed.
Another action was begun. based on
evidence furnished by Miss Hoffman.

Dayton, Ohio. Aug. pa special
from the Cincinnati Times Star was

that John r. Mclean would not I've
represented at the state convention
which was said to be due to the re-
port that he was to succeed Gen. n. A.
Alger as secretary Of war. This caus-
ed more stir among the delegates than
anything that has been sprung for
years in Ohio conventions.
Although Mclean was prominently
before the last Democratic convention
for the Presidential nomination AMI
would have been elected senator IN
place Of Hanna had the Democrats
carried the Legislature. last Novem-
Der. and although his paper. the Gin
cinnat Enquirer, was considered a
leading advocate of Bryan and free sill
yer, the story about Mclean probably
becoming the successor Of Alger was
believed by many Of the delegates.
1t was conceded that II Mclean
should become McKinley's secretary Of
war and the Cincinnati Enquirer an
administration paper. that 1t would
cause a political revolution. as Mclean
and his paper has been the most pO-
tential factors in this state as well az

NO MORE CONCERTS.
The Money 10 Exhausted and No Move Made
to Raise More.

Unless the people of Waterville make
up purse for the band boys the prob
ability Is that the people here have had
the last band concert of the season.
The last concert was given, Wednes-
day night. At that time the money for
the concerts was nearly exhausted. In
spite of this fact the concert was given
complimentary to thesvisiting gunners.
1t was the understanding at the be-
ginning Of the season that the con-
certs would be given as long as the
money subscribed for that purpose
held out The concerts have been
given and the money Is now exhausted.
The matter of starting a subscription
paper among the merchants had been
advanced by several but as near as
could be learned, yesterday. no at
tempt had been made to raise money
for the concerts.
There Is general feeling among the
people who have been talked with that
the concerts ought to be continued, at
least through September. What will
be done to continue the concerts Is as
yet only q matter of guesswork.

DATES FINALLY SETTLED
For Holding the Meet d the Best Maine
Gunnefs.

The members of the Waterville Gun
Club have finally settled down on
August 30 and 81 as the dates for the
State shoot 1t was at first planned
to have the shoot begin the first of
September on account OF the fact that
the law on woOdcock goes off the first
day Of September it was thought bets
to have the shoot held at some other
time. Many of the gunners have been
planning to go into the woods on the
first day when they are allowed to
shoot woodcock Should the shoot
be held on that day. 1t was thought
the attendance would be smaller than
1t otherwise would be.
AS many OF the best shots in the
State have been holding back for that
meet it was thought best to hold the
meet earlier and thus insure the atten-
dance OF gunners all over the State.
Among the local gunners, S. l..
Preble is looked, upon as the man who
will carry off the honors. The show
ing he made at the interstate shoot
has made local people wiling to wager
almost any amount that he will carry
on all the honors Of the day.

TO FOIL THE sEARcHLIenr.
The Principle Of Detected Light Rays as II il
Aid to Torpedo Boats. H.

Experiments have recently been made
promising an added cover to the approach
Of torpedo boats at night, and. paradox
ically. light is to be a cloak under which
they are to approach within surer strik-
ing distance. The present plan is decided
ly novel; while based upon principles
known ever since light and reflection
have been studied at all. Notwithstand-
ing the binding inQuisitiveness of the
modern searchight.s with its power of mil
lions of candle glow, good many ex-
perienced naval officers have said they
would rather trust to their own keen
eyesight than to the piercing beams of
the electric searchlight to detect the APP
proach of hostile craft and now they are
to be borne out, for this very radiance is
to be used as blind under which the
torpedo boat can come more certainly
upon it's quarry.
The principle Is simple. Every one that
has looked into the theory of optics even
In the most elementary manner knows
that light Is reflected from rejecting
surface at an angle exactly equal to the
angle with which the direct rays strike
the reflector Now to apply this to a
mirror at the head of torpedo boat fac
ing an enemy's searchlight. II the mir
ror be placed upright on the bow of the
boat the direct rays from the light strike
squarely upon the rejecting mirror and
are cast back in the eye of the light and
are seen from that station. But if the
mirror Is tilted forward at slight angle,
the reflected beams are cast down instead
of back toward the source of light The
result is that. falling right IN the path
of the full, strong, original beams, they
are practically lost and do not make
enough glow upon broken surface like
the sea to cause detection. and the
searchlights power becomes of no avail.
In service the reflector would be made,
in all probability. of highly polished met
~ lacQuered with some waterproof var
nish., The plate would be secured to a
stout backing. without any chance of tell
tale frame edges to catch the light, and
then pivoted on the stem just far enough
above the water line to cast the bow
wave In shadow. and SO fixed that the tilt
forward could be modified to suit the po-
sition of the enemy's guarding search
light. Glass would not stand the vibra-
ton and the shock of head seas, while
the metal reflector could be made strong
enough to bear reasonably hard usage.
and a dent or two would cause no mate
rial damage.-Philadelphia Times.

There are few farmers in that Sec
ton who possess a finer herd of cows
than H. ]. Weymouth of Dexter. There
are "a full blood and grade Jerseys in
the herd all selected with great care,
not only taking into consideration
their milk producing qualities, but ami
mails were only eligible to the herd
which were up to a certain standard
Of fine appearance and healthfulness.
1t has required some time for Mr..
Weymouth to get them together but
he feels amply repaid for the effort he
has spent in obtaining it. The milk Is
all, sold to customers in the village.
Mr.. Weymouth finds himself unable to
supply the demand with this number
of cows and will shortly Increase the
number to 30. He has one of the fin
est farms in this section. it having
been greatly improved since he moved
on to it several years ago. Notwith-
standing the number of cows and six
large work horses besides the one he
uses for driver, the place cuts all the
hay required to carry this large stock.
