Won Moltke.

Won Moltko was originally an officer
in the Danish army. AT the age of 8
years he was entered as royal cadet
j. e., he was to be educated at the ex-
pense of the king, Frederick vi, i'll the
Copenhagen Military academy - and,
having taken his examinations, he wore
the Danish uniform until he, as sub
lieutenant at the age of 81, petitioned
the king for three years leave to pro-
coed to the continent to study the mil
itary art, as he says in his petition, to
be able on his return to employ his ac-
quirements for the good of his country -
This petition was granted, but the count
also asked to be allowed to retain his
pay, and as the king refused this he
took his discharge and entered the Prus
sian army recruit whom that organi-
cation has every reason to hold III en-.
during memory.

per: "ln all the towns where news

"New Version of Maine Law

"If several cases of violation are found
against a rumseller and nuisance, with
ample and positive evidence, how does
that section of the law read which allows
the officers to cancel the fines by the
violators promising to leave town?
Where do the officers get authority to
settle, while the penalty is so plainly
fine and imprisonment"
Thesforegoing is an inquiry submitted
to the REPORTER by a prominent citizen
of our town. The case, we suppose is
referred to above, was continued for
sentence upon the promise of the party
that he would leave town and stay away.
He has left town, it is supposed for
good. There were four other cases in
which parties pleaded sguilty on indict-
ment and the cases were continued upon
the promise that they would go out Of
the business. Their cases can be called
up at any subsequent term of court and
the sentence of court be imposed. This
is not an unusual course to be pursued,
and, upon the theory that the object of
court proceedings Is to stop the violation
Of the prohibitory law, seems to us to be
in the right direction. The out about it
is, that after time they resume rum
selling and the county attorney neglects
to call up the cases and have sentence
imposed.
