It was thought by the local police last night that Dr. Guilford was in Connec- ticut and in fact not far from New Haven, and from what they said it was evident that they were confident that they could arrest her whenever she is wanted. No information is given as to her exact whereabouts if she is in New Haven, but it was learned she is being closely watched by local detectives. Captain Cowles of the detective bureau when asked if she was in New Haven would give no definite answer, but said that he had heard that she was not far away. He said that he would not ar- rest her unless warrant was sent him by the prosecuting attorney of Bridge port.

Guatemala.

Guatemala might easily sustain ten
times its present population. The soil is
rich and easily cultivated, and, unlike
the other Central American republics,
there is plenty of labor Some parts of
the country are quite thickly populated,
but the others are covered with dense
forests and variety of timber, which
might be easily made marketable if
means Of transportation were provided.
But, although Guatemala is much
further advanced than the rest of Gen.
trail America, her railway system does
not exceed $50 miles; thereis no inter-
nal navigation, and the wagon roads are
in a deplorable condition. The mineral
wealth of the country is supposed to be
large, but it is only slightly developed.
The mines are inaccessible, and, in the
absence of modern machinery, which at
present cannot be conveyed to them,
cannot be worked with profit
The government offers generous in
ducements to immigrants. The land
laws are liberal, and efforts have been
made from time to time to secure the
establishment of colonies and the pre-
emption of public lands by private set
tiers. But all the accessible area is at
present occupied, and no foreigner can
expect to prosper in Guatemala unless he
has abundant capital which will enable
him to purchase at high prices planta-
lions already developed.

Legislature Must Legalize.

The quadrennial appraisal Of 1898 for
the town of Rockingham which, as noted
in the Wednesday issue of the TIMES, is
illegal because sworn to before notary
public instead Of justice Of the peace,
will have to be legalized by act OF the next
legislature. The taxes Of this year are
assessed on grand list made up from the
appraisal Of 1894 and so there is no trouble
from that source, but the grand list Of next
year will be made from the appraisal OF
this year and so the appraisal will have to
be legalized in order that the grand list
and taxes Of next year will be legal. 1t is
safe to predict that Rockingham will not
be the only town in the state to ask tavors
at the hands Of the legislature in this
respect.

Among the White Mountains.

The White Mountains of New England are
by sill means the favorite outing region of the
country. Every section of it has its own
particular attractions and in visiting any part
of the mountains one can count upon having
good time.
Ii would be most difficult task to mention
all of the points of interest that are encom-
passed in the region, but one OF the prettiest
parts in the vicinity is at the Flume House.
1t is q delightful place and of the scenic sur
roundings one would never tire. The Flume
itself is marvellous piece of nature work and
a visitor to the mountains should not neglect
visiting it.
To reach the Profile House the road leads
through forest wild and primeval but OF
such beauty that it would be hard to ind its
eaual. The Profile House has location
which is unsurpassed, and perhaps no part OF
the Mountains has so many features OF inter-
est IS has this ideal spot. A short walk from
the he u e brings to view that wonderful rock
formation known as "The Old Man of the
Mountain.'' Mountain peaks surround the
plateau upon which this house is situated,
and Echo and Profile lakes are beautiful
bodies of water which are within walking
distance.
Renowned resorts are at Bethlehem,
Maplewood, Twin, Sugar Hill, faoyans,
Crawfords, Mt. Pleasant and score OF others
might be mentioned.
The Boston & Maine railroad reaches every
mart of the mountains, and its illustrated
book on the mountains contains valuable lu-
formation fer tourists, which is sent for 3
two cent stamp from the Passenger Depart
ment, Boston & Maine railroad, Boston.

Another Santiago Letter.
SANTIAGO, CUBA, July II, 1898

NAN Sop<AS . ny - f, Lcco'
Dear Brother: Received your letter
last night, written on the 18th of June,
Just one month ago To day has been
a day shall never forget. We raised the
flag of the United States in Santiago, and
| holloed until my lungs were sore. We
will stay here on the battlefield until after
the 31st of this month, then we are to go
back to the United States. Thank God !
| will soon be at home, tor | shall not stay
in the service longer. Gen. Miles told us
we had done our fighting. What praise
he gave the Fifth Army Corps for their
bravery; to tell the truth it's wonder
that I am alive. If | can only keep up
my courage for few weeks longer, it is all
I ask. am feeling we'll now, but the
hardship is nothing to the lying on the
ground, night after night, without shell
ter Not even coat have |, and my
shirt and shoes are about gone. | have
not had pair of stockings on my feet for
three weeks. Well, this is war times and
/ realize it, but those that have never had
the experience cannot realize what the
word war means; if should undertake to
write all that have been witness to since
July LIST it would make large book.
There is some sickness, which is mostly
mountain fever, nothing serious. am
getting the rheumatism little in my legs,
am pretty stiff morning, but get limbered
up before night. You can tell the folks
l will soon be home, if nothing happens to
me. | think the last shot has been fired.
Yon know more about this war and what
is going on than do what has been done,
and what is being done. Send love to all.
Your brother,
HARRY S. MILLER.

Excursion August 9.

1t is not likely that residents on this di-
vision of the Fitchburg railroad will be af-
forded another opportunity this season of
securing SO thoroughly enjoyable days
outing, amid such picturesquely beautiful
surroundings, as will be presented by the
special popular excursion to Crescent Park,
r. l., on August g. This most famous of
all Rhode Island shore resorts is often
called the ''Coney Island of the East be-
cause of the infinite variety of amusements
and diversions provided within the limits OF
its 800 acres of pleasure grounds and shady
groves on the charming shores Of Nara
gansett Bay. The bathing beach is more
than half mile in length; and there is ex-
cellent boating and fishing. Here the
original Rhode Island fish dinner and clam
bake is served in its greatest perfection by
the pioneer in in that line land there is rot
minute of any day or evening when there
is not something 'going on in all parts OF
the grounds. Frequent concerts are given
by Reeves American band and by other
bands, Brigham's singing orche stra plays for
dancing in the finest dancing pavilion in
New England ;and balloon ascensions, base
ball, cycle races, shooting the chutes, flying
horses, the ''funnescope, racing toboggan
slides, the 'mutoScope," gypsy camps,
giant swings and the Ferris wheel are
among the amusements, while four exhibit
tons daily are given by the Roman Hippo
drone, educated horses and Wild West
shows, the latter including band Of genu-
inc Cheyenne Indians. Probably not else
where in all New England can the visitor
find SO much legitimate and healthful recre-
alton and entertainment for so small an ex-
penditure as at this largest and inist shore
resort in the country under one manage
ment.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in adj
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. J. G. Orms, of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-i feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. /
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
we'll, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb
Since taking your remedies am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. / can eat and
sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. l
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department o.
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred Thousand ailine
women during single year.
