The organization of a police patrol
munici pal life in Butte. Under that sys-
tenn a man will not have to walk in when
he is run in by the police. To Migrants
who are in a hurry to be identified as men
who voted the straight ticket, the patrol
plan will come as a long felt want. The
Bible says that "a man is known by his
walk; but under the patrol system a
man is often recognized by his carriage.

but because they wished to observe the

unable to do-overtake them in their sins.

After the sworn statement of Joseph X.
TooIe that he is not related by any tie of
consanguinity to John r. Toole, and the
positive refusal of the latter to give any
testimony in rebuttal, it must be conceded
that the Tooles of the democratic party
do not cut both ways.

Maine Liquor Ruling.

PORTLAND, Me, July 10. A new point
in dealing with the prohibitory law
was decided this morning, when, in the
midst of his argument, Judge Foster was
stopped by Chief Justice Peters, who said
that the court agreed with him and that it
would not be necessary for him to COM
plete his argument.
Ii was an Oxford county case, and was
before the supreme court on exceptions
filed by Judge Foster to the charge of
Judge Savage, the presiding justice
Willis S. Burbank was indicted for a
single sale of liquor to Leon 0. Irish. 1t
was agreed that Irish gave Burbank 81
and asked him to buy pint of whisky
for him. He did SO, and gave Irish the
whisky and the change. % cents. 1t was
not pretended that Burbank was in the
liquor business, but only that he bought
the liquor for Irish and delivered it to
him. At the trial Judge Foster raised the
point that Irish constituted the respon-
dent Burbank his agent and that 1.-The
respondent as the agent or servant of Irish
went and procured the liquor, brought it
to his employer and passed him the change
over and above the amount required for
the purchase of the whisky"
In his opening argument to-day Judge
Foster called attention to the fact that in
Maine, while it is a crime TO sell, it is not
crime to purchase liquor, and he made
the point, new to the practice, as applied
to the prohibitory law, that whatever a
man may lawfully do himself, he may do
through another acting as his servant or
agent He said that had Burbank been
the agent of the party who sold the liquor,
then he would have been equally guilty
with the principal; but he was the agent
of the purchaser, land had lawful
right to purchase the liquor, even though
he obtained it from one who might ille-
gally sell it,
Chief Justice Peters stopped further
proceedings, and the new trial asked for
in behalf of the respondent was granted.

Precautions for Safe Navigation.

The admission made by Captain Wat
kins of the Paris that he is responsible for
the accident to that ship through what we
must call gross error in calculation-for
it is one for which no excuse is possible
must add to the terrors OF ocean travel.
Captain Watkins is man whose career
has been entirely honorable and unusually
successful. If such a man as he, through
moment of inadvertence, or in one of
those sldden and temporary paralysis
which mysteriously affect the minds of
most men, has made such slip, it is clear
that the system which leaves to one mind
the fate of ships and lives is bad one.
If Captain Watkins calculation had been
verified by another, or if another, to take
Mr.. Hyslop's proposition, had made the
calculation and Captain Watkins had ver-
itied it, the accident TO the Paris would
not have happened. The fact that Cap
tam Watkins career is over will of course
make other captains more vigilant, but
dependence upon one mind in this sort
of thing is absolutely unsafe. No man
can tell when his mental energies, usually
keen though they may be, are going to
stop working for moment; and that mo-
ment may be the most important in that
minds history. Harper Weekly.

Editor of the Rockland Star Dead.

RoCKLAND, July o. The community was
greatly shocked this afternoon upon hearing
the news that Clement r. Sherwood, presi-
dent, manager and editor of the Star Pub.
fishing Company had been found dead in
bed. Coroner Judkins was at once summon

the result OF heart disease Later symptoms
of poisoning developed and an autopsy was
held, but as yet no definite cause of death
bas been ascertained AS far as is known
the man had no cause for suicide and while
indications poin1 strongly to such yet his
friends think the cause of his death must
have been heart disease. He leaves widow

The Temperance Question in the Pub

effect upon the human system. Such in
structions, if honestly impaired by capa-
bic teachers and by honest text books
can not fail 10 be of the highest value.
Capable teachers and honest text books
could not possibly teach, for example that
q 'coholic liquors We're an unmiXed evil,
could not deny their medicinal value, or
their stimulative aid in fortifying against

Holds Three Pairs.

B1DDEFoRD, July 20. The merriest and
happiest man in all Biddeford for three days
has been Napoleon Trudeau, an operative
who lives on Clifford street.
The cause of Trudeaus exhuberance of
joy is the advent in his family Tuesday of a
pair of twins, boy and girl both of them
of good size and as healthy looking babies
one often sees.
The birth of twins in family is not such
a remarkable occurrence as to excite popu-
lar curiosity and interest, but in this case it
is different, for this is the third set of twins
that Trudeau's wife has presented him with
since he led her to the altar at St. Joseph's 8
church three years ago.
A remarkable circumstance in connection
with the birth of three pairs of twins in Ma
poleon Trudeau's family is the fact that
Trudeau was himself twin and 80 was also
his wife
