Skirmish Drills at Ft. Williams.
Expect 70 Have sham Battle IN Few
Days.

The soldiers at Fort Williams are re-
ceiving instruction every morning in
slxirmish drill The new ground recently
bought by the government is literally
covered with rocks, hills and woods, thus
affording a very wild place IN which to
practice. The battery is generally formed
in rear of the .theater and commences its
advance into the woods for about 40
yards. 1t then has clearing Of about
110 yards to cross, and as a general rule
they form as sxirmishers to shield them
from the supposed enemy.
After crossing the clearance they meet
a very rocky hill which forms very good
protection for their advance for about 90
yards. After scrambling up the hill.
which generally causes a few bruises and
scratched faces, they have next the crest
of the hill to cross. But as it is exceed
inglylrough it forms many places for
protection, and by this time the men are
getting pretty near to the position held
by the enemy. They now get more care
full, and crossing another clearing they
form for the final charge, which Is over
very rough and rocky ground, but looks
in some respects like a typical ba ttlefeld.
The boys are improving very fast in the
most modern forms Of attack, and viii
have sham battle in q few days.

THE LAW COURT.
The RumfOrd Falls Gases Argued Yes
terday.

The Cumberland docket was taken up
in the Law court yesterday morning. The
first case to be argued was the Rumford
Falls Power company VS.. the Rumford
Falls Paper company, very important
action. Symonds, Snow and Cook, n.
and II. 3 Cleaves of Portland and Geo.
ID. Bisbee of Rumford Falls appear for
the plaintiff and Clifford, Verrill and
Clifford of Portland for the defence.
BY written lease under seal, plaintiff
granted to defendant the perpetual right
to take and use a definite quantity OF
water at a liked annual rent. Defendant
took and used a large quantity of water
IN excess Of the definite quantity granted
IN the lease, the amount Of such excess
being determined from time to time by
the demands of its business.
Plaintiff seeks to recover in this action
the price of the use OF such excess water
claiming not under the lease, but under
the implied contract, existing between it
self and the defendant.
The amount claimed in the account is
$40, 1910. The auditor, after hearing
lasting twenty-five days, reduced this
amount to 5000 80. and the jury after
"a long trial further reduced it to S14,-
l11.20; a reduction in all of $50, 1926. 90.
The case comes to the Law court on de-
PENDANT S exceptions.
The next heard was the real estate case
of Levi Morrill, IN equity vs.. James l..
Lovett, B. D. and H. NJ. Verrill and
Charles ID. Booth for the respondent and
VIM. NJ. Payson and Payson and Virgin
for the plaintiff.
The real estate IN question, which IS
situated IN what was Deering and was
owned by and assessed for taxes to Harriet
J. Morrill,, a nonresident owner. She
having died in November, 1889, the COM
plainant became, by devise, the owner Of
the property. The propersT was assessed
to Harriet j. Morrill, for taxes of 1890 and
1891, and the taxes not being paid, the
property was twice sold, first, to the IN
habitants of Deering, on February 10.
1899, for $3.50. 90 and afterward on April
l3 1898, TO the city of Deering for S1SS 5S.
On September II, 1894, the city of Deer
ing conveyed this property to the re-
spondent for S46s. As. Complainant now
brings a bill to have deeds declared null
and void and to have the respondent en-
joined from asserting any title and from
exercising any act OF ownership over the
premises,
There are 1853 appealed liquor cases from
Cumberland county to come before the

MARIETTA, o., July 21.-As the re-
suit of unreasoning jealousy, Walter
Kennedy. young man aged n years,
blew out his brains in the basement OF
the Hotel Boyer last night. He had
been keeping company with Lille Brit
ton, pretty waitress at the hotel. but
recently she had discouraged MS at
tentions.
Kinney became jealous of Roy Moore,
another well known young man, who
called upon Miss Britton occasionally.
Last night he induced the girl 70 ac-
company him for short walk and
when they returned it was noticed that
he was very angry. AS the girl started
to enter the hotel Kenny seized her by
the arm and attempted to drag her back
foreibly, saying that he would kill her.
Fear lent her strength and she finally
succeeded in tearing herself from his
grasp, fleeing for safety to the fourth
floor of the hotel.
A few minutes later pistol shot was
heard in the basement and Kennys
dead body was found lying on the floor.
Miss Britton was so overcome by
the affair that she was in a serious
condition from shock during the night
and regained consciousness this morn
ing to ask plaintiyely if it was all a
dream. Kenny came here from Indian
apolis, Ind, where his father was
minister of the pOSne1

A HAPPY MARRIAGE.


Who can describe in words that heavar-
~ 'ime OF young love, when the deepest
affections of life burst forth into their
perlumed blossoming and life is in it's
springtime7
why is it that this joy is so transient
ana so apt to fade and darken like hues
of the sunset? Why do there come to
some the bitter frosts that cut love down
or the subtle poisons that destroy it. while
others enjoy it until death.
THESE are serious but timely senti-
mental questions
"A separate individual is but half life
and happiness depends upon finding the
other half who is the most perfectly
suited in mind and temperament
lhere Is perhaps for every person one
perfect mate, though it may be seldom
that such marriages occur. Practically
speaking, we can only hope to get as
near perfection as possible.
one secret of happy marriage is to
retain as far as may be the spirit and
relations of courtship. Marriage should
never be considered the gateway to
license and selfishness.
In every true marriage there should he
4
1iippancy more out of place than at the
marriage altar. We would have fewer
divorces, because less need of them, if
every marriage were regarded as a pecu-
harly serious and solemn undertaking.
l was once at a country wedding which
illustrates what l mean The Young
couple were plain, modest folk from the
farm and appeared to be deeply Impress
ed as the ceremony proceeded. When
the minister reached the words lie, liz
pray" they both turned around with a
quick motion and threw themselves upon
their knees, bowling their heads upon the
sofa, and so remained to the end of the
prayer
1t was the first case in which 1 ever
knew any one to kneel during the we'd
dlng prayer, except in a formal way. and
there was such intense earnestness and
devotion in their manner that every one
present was profoundly moved. 1t was
very evident that they dedicated them
selves TO one another with their whole
hearts
To the children born of love, in wedlock
that is kept holy in fact as well as
name, we must look for the elevation
of the race.
But the chief secret of a happy mar
riage is the following rule Put the
woman at the head of the family in
stead of the man. If there is to be any
ruling 1t is better to have the woman
enthroned than the man. More authority
will make the woman stronger and more
service viii make the man gentler. No
| man can ever know the full sweetness Of

ARGUING FUNK'S CASE.
The Government to Present It's Side
to the Court of Appeals Today.


Arguments in the case of Frank W
Funk, convicted of murder and sentenced
to be hanged on May II next, which were
commenced yesterday in the Court of APP
peals, will be continued this morning. The
case was opened by d. W. Baker, leading
counsel for the appellant, who, after his
time was exhausted, was allowed thirty
minutes additional 10 conclude his argu-
meiIt
This morning the Governments side of
the case will be presented by District At
torney Anderson and Assistant District At
torney Taylor, both Of waom participated
in the trial before Justice Cole in the Su-
preme Court of the District. last Deem
Der. The closing argument for the appel
liant will be made by Alexander Wolf, as
sociate counsel In the case.
1t is improbable that a decision will be
reached in the Court of Appeals before the
date set for the execution OF Funk, and in
that event II is believed that the court
will order a stay OF execution until after
it's opinion is announced.
Following the argument in the Funk
case, 1t is understood that the appeal of
Benjamin H. Smell convicted of the muir
der of Lizzie Weisenberger, and who is
sentenced TO be hanged on the same day as
Funk, will be next considered. The argu-
ments in this case will probably be com
menced today, at the conclusion OF the
Funk case
