this matter were persons who knew
whereof they spoke, and yet the grand
jury on the evidence before them
could not find true bill.
So far this term it has been a case
of settle, and indications would lead
one to believe that that manner of
adjusting difficulties would continue;
however as there is another land case,
Wakefield VS.. Nelson and Hall, set for
a ''struck" jury on the oath, the term
will probably drag along through the
whole month.
One case has been tried, that of
Fitzpatrick VS.. the Grand Trunk Ry.
This .case was tried in the county
court last fall, when the plaintiff OBJ
tained a Judgment for $1750.00. The
case went to the supreme court and
came back here for a new trial. The
facts in the case were that the plain
tiff, an employee of the defendant
railway, got upon side ladder on
car which was being shunted in the
defendants yard at Island Pond.
w AAAO oOoAoAA1S oEOA CA0 10ANOA GAO
plaintiff was struck by post standing
near the track, was knocked off and
had foot crushed. By the laws of
this state railway companies are for
hidden the use of side ladders on
freight cars, consequently the plaintiff
was doing his duty in tending the
train, the company was at faultin not
furnishing proper appliances. After
the plaintiff had put in his case, both
sides rested and the defendant made
a motion for verdict for the Com
pany. This was refused and the case
went to the jury. Friday forenoon
verdict was returned for the plaintiff
for $3O0O.0O and costs. Young and
Young and E. A. Cook appeared as
counsel for the plaintiff and Hon. Geo.
Dale of Island Pond, Chamberlain and
Rich of Berlin, N. H., and Haight
Bros. of Portland as counsel for the
defendant. Court took a recess Sat-
urday morning until Monday at 2
O'Clock.

Life insurance men say that within
ten years the grip has come into the
front rank of causes of mortality.
One American company had twenty
two deaths from it in 1890. In 1892, it
had enc hundred and thirty three,
and IN every year since from twenty
to forty deaths have been reported.
The medical examiners add that the
figures understate the fact, since
many deaths ascribed to pneumonia,
for instance, are really caused by this
vicious Influenza, which seems not
only to strike at ones weakest point,
but permanently to enfeeble the whole
system. Probably the peculiar de-
preston induced by the disease helps
to swell the mortality Exchange

The indications are that Grout will
be elected easily. The practically
solid support of Caledonia, Essex and
Orleans counties is splendid compli-

associates. those who know him best

General News Items.

Supplies and money are being sent
to Galveston, Texas, from all over the
country. Fears of an epidemic have
been allayed by the arrival and dis
tribution of medicines. Reluctantly
one is forced to the opinion that the
number of dead placed at 5000 is too
low and the number will go as high as
5000 and perhaps above. This con-
ciusion is not reached without a care

Lord Roberts telegraphs from Nell
spruit, Sept. 19, that of three thousand
Beers retreating from Machadodorp,
seven hundred have crossed into
Portuguese territory and others have

general tumult seems to have occurred
when the enemy recognized the hope
lessness of their cause. Their long
toms and field guns, including those
captured from the British, were de-
stroyed. Nothing is now left of the
Boer army except a few marauding

The great strike of mine workers in

the hard coal output of the world be-
gan last week. According to Presi-
dent Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America, who is personally
directing the strike from his head
quarters at Hazelton, the result of the
four days effort to tie up the mines
exceeded the expectations of the
strike leaders. The hard coal region
IS divided into four great districts, the
Lackawanna, Wyoming, Lehigh and
Schuylkill regions. In the first two,
representing nearly 10000 men, the
tie-up is complete.

The house of representatives to be
elected in November will doubtless be
the last one chosen under the present
apportionment of members to the
various states. When the census re-
turns are fully made up, congress will
decide how many representatives
shall be allotted to each state, and
then the states will be divided by their
legislatures into districts. Whatever
changes the new apportionment
makes in the states as such, 1t seems
certain that the large cities will gain
something at the expense of the rural
districts. s.-ErchGnge. 81 rt

GREATEST QUEEN IN THE WORLD.
Marie Corelli's Tribute to the Work
and Character of Victoria.

Queen Victoria was born May "a
1919. Her birthday this month gives
timeliness to a tribute from her
favorite novelist, Marie Corelli, in
Saturday Evening Post. She writes:
The Englishman is ever quick to
sneer at women's advancement in art,
in literature, in scholarship and
general Intellectual ability, yet all the
while it's woman who rules him, and
to woman alone he is compelled to
bend his knee! Off goes his hat at
sight of the queen! cheers break from
his throat at the proclaimed words, the
queen! knights and earls, and knaves
and churls bow their heads to the
queen!' And with all peoples and ia
all countries there seems to be only
one queen to whom the article the
can be applied without further modl-
fication. Other queens are qualified in
their estate by the land over which
they rule-aS, for example, queen of
Italy, queen of Greece, empress of
Germany, empress of Russia; but when
the queen is said every one means
England's Victoria. Of all queens the
greatest. she is of all women the
simplest, and herein gives matchless
examples to her sex. Above the splen-
doris of her position and enforcement
she is prominently woman in the
sweetest and most womanly sense of
the word-one who is gifted with
quick, fine sympathies, and who has
the supreme and exquisite tact which
is, or should be, inherenC in every true
and unselfish feminine nature, combin-
ed with perfect self-command, flawless
purity and strong, personal potency
for good. Throned and crowned and
sceptred in the fierce light of the whole
worlds constant observation, she yet
remaines as unaffected and sincere OF
soul as the most unsophisticated of her
subjects and it is very true one with
them in the ordinary round of their
daily existence.
"Are we bereaved of our best-belov-
ed? So is the queen. Have we suffer
ed from evil-speaking and misjudg-
ment? So has the queen. And in our
joys is she not equally one with US
there?
I'm all quiet, natural and innocent
pleasures the queen is one with her
subjects; it is only in social vice and
folly that she takes no part"

THE PLAYTHING OF A KING.

The emperor of Germany has a toy
that would gladden. the heart of the
most exacting boy. 1t is a miniature
frigate, a full-rigged three-masted war
ship, fifty-fve feet in length, drawing
but four feet of water, and having a
capacity of thirty tons. The ship is an
heirloom in the imperial family of
William w., King of England, to the
present German emperor's great-grand-
father, Frederick William III. 1t gave
the reigning monarch his first taste of
life on the waves, and in his boyhood
days one of his favorite amusements
was to sail on the waJery Potsdam, in
company with his brother Henry in
this tiny man-of-war. At a distance
the ships dimensions are very de-
ceptive, but man at the rail or boat
moving alongside soon brings out, by
contrast, the smallness of the craft.
The frigate can be sailed in the same
manner as the largest ship. but the
crew must be Lilliputians in size and
scanty in number; a seaman of
ordinary build would be totally out of
would probably be in grave danger of
bringing the spars down to the deck
with his own weight. Royal Louis"
is the name Of this kingly toy; she was
christened after the Prussian
Queen Louise The little
frigate was built or the
Thames River, at Woolwick, England,
in 1882, and was towed down the river
and across the North Sea by steamer
to Hamburg; from this place a fat
barge fioated her up the Elbe and into
the Havel att Potsdam, where she still
remains.-Woman's Home Companion
