FRANK PARKS HELD.
Warrant Charges Him with the Death
ofMrs. Tarleton.

Kittery, January 2S.-Ihe coroner's in
quest on the death of Mrs. Mary T.
Tarlton was held In this town today and
after hearing a number OF witnesses be-
hind closed doors, the jury returned a
verdict holding Frank Parks on charge
Of premeditatsd murder. The report was
at once handed to County Solicitor Mat
thews, who swore out warrant for
Parks's arrest for murder in the first de.
gree and the warrant was at once sent tn
the county jail at Alfred, where Parks
has been held since the day after the
affair. Parks will be arraigned on Mon
day at Alfred and there is a report here
tonight that he will plead guilty. The
warrant charges Parks with deliberate
ly committing an assault upon Mrs.
Tarlton from the effects Of which she
died.
Considerable excitement prevails in
Kittery over a statement made by Parks,
1t is alleged, to Constable Perkins, when
he was being taken to Alfred Jail.
In one of his sullen moods he suddenly
exclaimed: II have done time, but /
don't propose to be alone. If l wanted
to l could tell some things that would
startle the people of hittery."
Just what Parks meant is not known.
The Tarleton case recalls the strange
fate of Charles kim ball, son of William
Kimball, who resided on the Creek road
in Kittery.
Several years ago kimball, in company
with his brother Pearl, went to Ports
mouth. They started to return home
quite early, but proceeded only as far as
the houss occupied by Samuel johnson
at the junction of Kittery and York
roads, where they INDUCED in a carousal.
Charles Kimball, who was about Is,
has never been seen since that night,
having completely dropped out of sight.
Strange to say, no effort has ever been
made by the York county officials to learn
his fate.
The story told at the time by johnson
and the other Kimball boy was to the
effect that their supply of liquor gave
out and Charles started to go to Ports
mouth to procure more to continue the
orgie.
Daniel Mcintyre, toll collector at
Portsmouth and Kittery bridge remained
up that night until late hour, but states
positively that young KimbHll did not
cross the bridge again to Portsmouth.
Some people We're inclined to think
that Kimball had fallen of the bridge
and was drowned. but as several other
persons were known to cross the bridge
about the time Kimball was reported to
have sstarted for the city, and as they did
not hear any outcry, very little credence
was placed in this theory.
At the time a strong suspicion pre-
vailed that Kimball had met his death by
foul means, but as the county authori-
ties made no move In the matter it grad
ually died out.
A person intimately acquainted with
the parties today stated that he did not
think that Kimball met his death by
drowning, but was satisfied that Chas,
Kimball was murdered.
Last spring an Eliot brickmaker was
held up on the overhead bridge. at
Kittery junction. robbed and thrown
over on the railroad track and left to his
fate. He regained consciousness and
succeeded in crawling off the tracks just
IN time to escape being run over by a
freight train.

We are studying too many things; We
are not doing anything thoroughly, and
our children are suffering from the
doing nothing we'll. The scope and
purpose of the common schools have
either been forgotten or not properly CON
ceived. We must have more drill, more
mastery, more definite knowledge; and
these conditions can never be realized
until the vagueness which surrounds the
work of the schools has been replaced by
definite aims, thorough work and intel
ligent instruction. " Superintendent
Stetson's annual report.
This is all true, :but what are we going
to do about it. The cry is constantly for
more studies. a large part of the ex-
tension of the course of study in tn
schools has been due TO popular de.
mands, and II all of them had been met it
would have bean extended still more.
Before the expansion of the common
school curriculum can be stopped public
Ideas have got to be corrected and that
is generally slow process. Only a
short time ago there was considerable
movement for the introduction of the
study of agriculture in the schools. and
now petitions are in circulation to make
II compulsory to teach the effects of mar
cotics and stimulants upon the system.

God. i do not mean that every word anu
syllable was dictated by God but l mean
that from the beginning to the end 1t is
the work of God and Ii has been pre-
served through all ages. Who snail tell
which part is the word Of God? When
you say the Bible is the word of God and
that the Holy Spirit presided over its
preservation and that 1t is different
from all other books, in that 1t is the
inspiration and testimony of devout
soul, there is a distinction between the
Bible and all other religious books. When
read the 23i Psalm, 1.-The Lord Is my
shepherd" then am reading the true
word of God. Loyalty to the Bible is the
secret of success,
First, because mans loyalty to 1t is
belief in God No man can speak with
power only as he can speak from the
Bible.
Second. because it is Gods word,
adapted to human nature as is no other
work. II God loved humanity enough TO
preserve 1t, He loved it enough to pre-
serve the word. So the fact that God
gave the word OF GOO, keeps it sacred over
all other religious works. He who
would write book for all humanity
must be cosmopolitan soul for lie must
belong to all rationalities and be con-
versant with all walks Of life. high and
low. No book of tn at kind has ever been
written yet There 10 only one book in
all human history so far that reaches all
humanity. The Bible Is now being rec
ognizsd In nearly all the schools and col
lsgss throughout the world as text book

Usual Friday Collection of Dog Cases
Disposed of in Police Court.
The Recorder had the usuai bunch of
dog cases to dispose Of in the Police Court
yesterday morning about $50 in number.
The delinquents who are summoned to at
tend these semi weekly sessions of the
court, at which cases of this character re-
ceive attention, have got into the habit OF
paying uD before they are actually com
PEELED to do so and this practice each time
considerably diminishes the work that
would otherwise have to be done In look
ing after so many defaulters.
This had happened yesterday morning.
The owners of CANNES that the city
though ought TO be taxed had fixed things
with the clerk of Council before the court
began its session and there were not a
great number of them still actually on the
list. Those who We're and who made an
appearance, were fined 81, the amount of
the tax.
J. J. Monahan was fined $40, with fifteen
DAYS in iail as the alternative. for permit
ting disorderly conduct in his house on
REYNOLDS street. A number Of pistol shots
were fired from The house some days since,
to the terror and danger of the people in
the neighborhood. Monahan was also hned
