PROGRESS OF MILES TRIAL.
Hearing of Evidence to BE Resumed
Monday Morning.

The case of Frank H. Miles, whose trial
was begun the 23d of last month, will be
resumed Monday in Criminal Court No. 1.
This is the third time the case has been be-
fore jury. There are twenty-eight indict-
ments against Miles, and the entire amount
involved is $32 which, it is charged, he
embezzled in the District building while a
clerk in the assessors office About fifty
witnesses appeared for the government and
nearly that same number have been called
by the defense. Miles was on the stand
when court closed yesterday
1t Is very unusual that representatives
and senators appear in court as witnesses,
as they are exempt from summons, and
only appear when they are willing to come
without being served subpoenas; but in this
case Representative Grout and Senator
Ross both appeared as witnesses for Miles.
Senator Proctor, it is stated, will probably
testify Monday morning.
A number of professional and business
men have also appeared to testify in be-
half of this defendant, for the most part
as to his good reputation 1t is expected
the case will close before the end of next
week.

l once knew an estimahle lady who
in the absence of her cook undertook to
make a certain kind Of cake. She took
'some" of one kind of ingredient, "a lit
tie" of another and "a small quantity"
of something else To her delight and
surprise, the result was cake of which
neither she nor any one else had ever
heard. 1t was an Entirely new cake and
an extremely delicious one. Proud of
her achievement, the lady gave the cake
the beautiful and poetic name of "ashes
CT angels, and on the very next occa-
sion when the absence of her cook made
it possible fer her to venture into her
Kitchen she tried to repeat her success
This event happened in the year 1888,
and ever since that date the unfurtnnate
lady has been vainly trying to repro
duce her wonderful cake She has never
once succeeded although she has made
ut least POO different varieties of cake
and pudding, each one of which has
been more deadly than the other She
is still hoping that one of these days
she may hit upon her "ashes of angels
again, but as that cake was purely the
result Il chance the prospect that she
will be able to make it second time is
not bright W. l.. Alden in Pearson s

/ For the REPORTER;
Grange Cottage.

Thinking that the interests of Grange
Cottage, Good VIII Farm, must lie near
to the hearts of the Changers of Maine, |
am impressed to write of the good done
by one sister. Mrs. Lewis Beal of VI.
Fairfield. The puts, sheets, pillow
slips and daintiy rulllrd pillow shams
which now furnish IA room at the col
tage, show that Mrs. Beal has not been
idle during the cold and storms of the
past winter. She also purchased blau-
kets and spreads To complete the fur
nishings.
Seeing that the walls Of the reception
room could be greatly improved by
paper hangings, she supplied the need,
doing the work with her own hand.
Among her other gifts 10 the home, is Il
ife-size portrait of her only daughter.
Bertha l.. Beal a lovely young lady,
whose death occurred several years ago.
This picture in y very handsome frame
hangs upon a wall of the reception room.
Neither has Mrs. Beal forgotten the
needs of the larder but in the line Of
pickles, canned fruits, etc, has furnish
ed generous supply.
As these facts concerning Mrs. Beal's
work have come to my knowledge, | tell
them in the hope that it may encourage
others to "go and do likewise. A de.
sire to help coupled with little self de-
nal. on the part of those who are
blessed with this worlds goods, would

Names National Guards.

Adj. Gen. Richards recently informc
visitor 10 hi office at the state house
that the legal status OF the companies
composing The two Maine regiments Of
National Guards really remains as it was
before the first Maine Infantry en-
tered the L. 5. service, and before the
organization of the batteries of artillery,
largely from the companies of the
Second regiment. The officers and men
are on f1flough or leave of absence until
May lst. He furthermore says that the
reorganization in his opinion will not be
upon the plan of one regiment with full
companies of 106 rank and file, as has
been proposed. There are he says, but
three or four cities large enough to sus-
tain such companies; Portland, Bidde-
ford, Lewiston and Bangor. The other
towns and cities available for companies
can only maintain the smaller organiza-
tions OF about fifty, and in many cases
these are kept up to the maximum with
much difficulty. In a town for instance
like Skowhegan, it requires much work
to get even one of the small companies
together, keep it together and maintain
its discipline. If the plan of reorganiza-
ton should be as outlined above, Show
hogan. would be likely to retain its com
pany. This we hope will be ttfe case.
Otherwise the county of Somerset would
be without any military organization.
1t is not probable that any muster of the
State guards will take place the coming
season.
Maine infantry and artillery saw nc
fighting in the recent war but the sigma
service company belonging In Maine did
see severe service in the Santiago cam.
paign and met hardship and losses. The
First infantry had serious experience
from sickness in camp but the batteries
of artillery were singularly Tree from
sickness in Savannah and at Cuba.
