COrOner's Jury Declared Hannah Nc
DOnOugh RespOnstbIe for Her
Chtld's Death.

In the case OF Hannah McDonough,
whose baby was abandoned by her in 6
house on Fore street week ago, the ohilC
afterward being-round dead In the room
where 1t had been left by the mother, the
coroner's jury yesterday returned a ver-
dict OF wilful murder, alleging that the
child came to its death by starvation,
having been refused proper nourishment
by its mother.
Coroner Perry convened his jury and
ths investigation was conducted by Coun-
ty Attorney Libby. Quite a number of
Witnesses were examined principal
among them being DR.. Stephen H. Weeks
and City Physician leighton. They both
testified that the child came to death by
starvation pure and simple AS to his
point their tetimony was very decided.
Other testimony went to show that the
child had been wilfuIly neglected ever
since birth. The mother had day after
day kept bottle of sour milk at hand
and had frequently offered it to the child,
but OF course the baby would not touch
it.
The jury say in their verdict that the
male child, Peter McDonough, came to
his death October 18th by starvation, for
the want of proBer nourishment, caused
by the wilful neglect of lis mother, Han
nah AIcDonough; the verdict recites that
the said Hannah McDonough gave birth
to the child August 18th last and on the
said 18th Of October deserted the child
in room on fore atreet IaavinO it
wholly destitute and unprotected. In
consequences the child, for want of need
full food and OF due care and attention,
died.
At the close of the verdict occurs the
following:
''And so the jurors aforesaid, upon
their oath aforesaid, do say that said
Hannah MoDonough afterwards, to wit,
on the fourteenth day OF October, in the
year OF our Lord, one thousand nine hun
dred, at Portland aforesaid IN said coun-
ty OF Cumberland with force and arms,
In and upon certain male child feIoni-
ousIy, willfully, and of her malice
aforethought, did make an assault. and
him, the said male child, then and there
feloniously, Wilfdlly and of her malice
aforethought, did kill and murder,
against the peace of the State ana con-
trary to the form of the statute in such
case made and provided. -
Hannah McDonough is now in custody
awaiting the result OF the coroner's In
quest. She Will accordingly be put before
the court on a charge Of murder.

QUEEN QUALITY SHOES.

Boston, October 10, 1900

Boston, O0tOber ~, 190O.
J. r. Libby Co., Portland, Me-:
Gentlemen-F0r a long time we have
realized our inability to properly care
for our rapidly increasing business, and
have been forced to build an addition
which we will occupy in November.
1he addition is 107 feet Ia length, 50
feet wide, six stories and a basement OF
brick, mill construction Our original
factory is 316 feet long, 90 feet wide, six
stories and a basement high, contain
ing 115, ,024 square feet, With the new
building, this VIII give us factory 423
feet long, with floor area OF 153, 972 feet,
connected by bridge to annex three
stories, 14O feet in length and "A feet in

working nine hours Der day, with an
average weekly pay roll OF $lS,OOD.
Our former capacity with 6,000 pairs
daily, and for the past nine months have
been forced toe7,000 pairs. With our new
addition giving ample space, we can
easily make z, 200 pairs per day. In
building the addition it is not our in
tentiOn to make more shoes, but to avoid
crOwding, and to Improve our system
which will enable us to give our Gus
also (what is most essential) better goods.
Our "Queen Quality" stock and mail
order department Will occupy the second
and third floor of the new addition,
giving ample space to handle in q
prompt and efficient manner all busi-
ness pertaining to that department.. On
other floors Will be carried the surplus
of "Queen Quality" stock
We fully appreciate the fact that in the
past we have not been able to take care
of our rapidly increasing business In a
manner satisfactory to our trade or our
selves, and the improvement we Will
make on this line the coming season,
we certainly hope will be appreciated by
our customers.
When you come to Boston, we cor
daily invite you TO inspect our factor,

HOW RoTHsCHILD VIEWS IT.

The Paris correspondent of the
Washington Post, Mckinley organ,
had an interview few days ago with
Baron Rothschild, the famous banker
Of Europe, on the money question and
other issues involved in the present
presidential campaign in this country,
As the Baron is the greatest money
lender IN the world he is, of course. an
ardent champion and defender of the
gold standard and opposed to any move
ment 20 remonetize silver. In this re-
spect he is in perfect sympathy with
the Republican party, but on the ques-
ton of expansion his views are opposed
to those of President Mckinley, and he
thus expressed himself to the cores
pondent of the Washington Post:
Zone of the greatest dangers before
the United States is expansion. While
your country has vast developed,
rich terri tories, for you to seek addi-
tionaI re sponsibilities in foreign lands
is unquestionably an error, and would
in the end lead to international COM
plicatlons, in which Americas credit
would greatly suffer"
This reads very much like an utter
ance from Mr.. Bryan or some other
American opponent of the Administra-
toms Philippine policy, and it is in
teresting to find that their views are in
dorsed by man who has no liking for
Democracy in this country, and who
cannot be suspected of any partlality
for Mr.. Bryan. The opinion of Baron
RothschiId is that of a cool-headed and
far seeing fnancier who made his enor
nous fortune by lending money to the
nations of the world, and. who, it is safe
to say, has made national policies {
close study. Baron Rothschild is mind
full of the fact that the Philippines were
a source of expense and weakness t.
Spain, and so they would prove to b.
to the United States, even if we succeed
in es tablishing a so-called supremac.
over them.
