THE INSANE HOSPITAL.
Dr.. Sanborn Much Pleased With Static Elec.
trical Machine.

The static electrical machine, in
stalled at the Insane hospital several
months ago, by DR.. Il. T.. Sanborn, su-
perlntenoent of the institution, has
proven OF much benefit to the patients
thereby rewarding another of DR.. San
born's efforts with success.
Asked, today, regarding the results
obtained from it's use, Dr. Sanborn
said. enthusiastically: THE very best.
The very best! 1t would seem from the
observations which my assistants and
myself have made that quite a number
of our recent cases have been greatly
benefited, if not wholly cured. by the
tonic effects of static electricity
II believe that another year we shall
be able to make an interesting report Of
it's work. l shall touch briefly upon it's
work in my annual report for this
year, but it is yet too early to give any
tabulatiOns for we have had the ma
chine in operation but few weeks. We
keep careful record of each case which
is treated by this method and l am
confident that static electricity will
ultimately be found one of our most
successful treatments for certain
classes of unfortunates under our
care
The removal Of part of the patients
to the new hospital at Bangor will call
for decrease of about 30 or So attend
ents at the Augusta institution and as
a result there is some speculation as to
who will be transferred to the new
hospital. These attendants have be-
come accustomed to the patients and
will be able to give a much more salts
factory service than new staff.
The annual meeting of the trustees,
at which time the report of the differ
ent officers and the trustees are made.
will be held at the hospital Dec. 20. Ex-
Governor Frederick Robbie is the presi-
dent of the board of trustees and will
preside at the meeting.

port wine seized was in the store when
he bought out the Jacksons, and the
other liquor seized had been used as
required for compromising medicines
on prescriptions of physicians. With
reference to the alcohol sold to the
witness, Rogers he said that he took
from two or three bottles on the
shelves liquids and added to it so that
at least third or half of it was diff
ferent from alcohol. To that sold Mrs.
Stanley, he had aCCed essence of pep
permint. so that it rendered it unfit
for beverage. To that sold the wit
ness, Woodland, he added witch hazel
and then some perfumery to disguise
the odor of the witch hazel. He testi-
fled that he had persistently refused to
sell alcohol or any other kind of liquor.
Witness testified to the different med
icines in which whiskey, sherry and
gin are compounded.
Wilmot S. Ames and Alfred p. Man
son. clerks for Mr.. Beane corroborated
Mr.. Beams testimony of what took
place at the time of the seizure. and
also the uses to which liquor was put
in the store.
DR.. w. =. Giddings testified to an at
tempt TO purchase of Mr.. Became alco-
hol for his spirit lamp and was re-
fused it.
L. w. Robbins, principal of one of
the schools in Gardiner. testified that
he tried to buy alcohol of Mr.. Beane to
use in his lamp at the school for
chemical demonstrations, and was re-
fused.

patient some alcohol for bathing pur-
poses but was refused and went else
where for it.
c. J. Bragdon. a dental surgeon at
Gardiner. testified that while he had
patient in the dental chair at work
upon a job. the alcohol in his lamp
became exhausted and he went to Mr..
Beane's in great hurry for a new
supply. but was refused and went to
the agency and got it.
DR.. Alton Sawyer. w. w. Kelley,

they had applied to Mr.. Became for al
cohol and had been unable to get any
Mr.. Heselton said he was thoroughly
convinced that the liquors seized BIZ
the officers We're not kept by the re-
spondent with intent to sell them in
violation of law. He was also convinced
that for the last two years. at least,
Mr. Bean had not attempted to evade
the law by indirect sales. The sales
two years ago he thought an evasion
of the statute. a technical violation at
least. But in this process no alcohol
was seized. Like the saints of old, the
defendant had been Sorely tempted.
but had resisted manfully and should
receive commentator instead of con-
demnation, and he would ask that a
mol pros be entered.
Judge Hall fully agreed with the re-
marks of the county attorney. He
thought the evidence not sufficient to
warrant a conviction under the search
and seizure records as they had been
returned. He was also free to say that
he thought the respondent had shown
his fidelity to principle in a very strong
way. and as had been said, was de-
serving of commentator instead of
condemnation.
The case was accordingly disposed of
by the entry of a mol pros.

Now that we have had our first cold
snap, the Journal desires to sound its
annual warning to the boys, who are
tempted to skate upon the river. and
also to the parents who have a solemn
duty to perform in guarding their
children from unnecessary danger.
While ice has formed upon the river
it is yet far from being safe for skat-
ing at the present time, and a gentle
man who came up from Gardiner.
yesterday afternoon. stated that he
saw skaters SO near the open water
that he expected to read of a drown
ing accident in this mornings Journal.
The river currents below the dam are
quite swift, and even in mid winter
there are many points of danger. At
this season of the year. anyone who
ventures upon the river for skating
purposes takes very serious chances.

There was a mystery in Guy ..
Vickerys jewelry store, yesterday, that
was very puZZling until the cause of
the phenomenon was known. In the
back part of the store is wash bowl
and faucet. Mr.. Vickery had occasion
to go to the place and was astonished
upon looking at the bowl to see line
of bright electric sparks running along
the chain that is attached to the plug.
A little thinking explained the matter
however. DR.. Davies office is directly
above and the doctor had run a brass
chain to the water pipe in his office to
make a ground connection for an cleo
trical machine which he uses in treat
ing patients. In some way the cur
rent was transmitted to the chain in
the store below and hence the electri-
cal display.

All possess what they perceive

Monday was cold but yesterday
morning the thermometer broke all
previous records for the season. In
the early morning the mercury was II
below zero in front of the Kinsman
drug store. Chilling reports came
from the Insane Hospital and other
places, but Skowhegan, which has the
reputation of being the coolest place
on earth. excepting perhaps the Klon-
dixie, sends down a report of 26 below
zero. While this was not actually
confirmed and is sincerely hoped to be
untrue for Skowhegan's sake. yet it
came on pretty good authority.

at Ejinassi. The remainder of the forces
were concentrated at Esumeja, where we
left fifty men and Maxim. Told King at
Bekwai to advance to Abadon as soon as
he heard rifle fire or encountered serious
opposition. Within half an hour met re-
