Held further, that the statements Of
the agent to the complainant that the
insured had obtained the policy
through false and fraudulent repre-
sensations in his application were made
upon reasonable belief that the
statements were true and that the
company had n lawful right to at

Under the circumstances developed by

Held further, that whatever was the
character of the agents statements,
the complainant has failed to satisfy
the court that she was deceived by

cannot be permitted to disregard her
release. She knew, as well as the
agent claimed to, whether the state

SHOT IN HEAD.
Augusta Man Commits Suicide
at Amherst Street Home.
Domestic Troubles Evidently Drove
Geo. Wentworth to Deed.
{ HGOTiNG OCCURRED. SATURDAY
DEATH FOLLOWS, SUNDAY.

George r. Wentworth committee
suicide by shooting himself in tn
head. at his home, 90 Amherst street
at about O'Clock Saturday evening
He fingered in an unconscious condi
tion until death came. soon after l
O'Clock Sunday forenoon. A widow sur
wives him.
AS near as can be ascertained. tho
facts in connection with the case are
as follows: Mrs. Wentworth is EN-.
ployed at the Edwards mill. and hei
husband has been in the habit of tax.
ing her to and from the mill in their
team. Saturday night they had driven
home, and after he had put up the
team they had supper. According to
! Mrs. Wentworth's story he went out
| TO the barn after supper, saying that
| he was going to put the sleigh into
| the barn.
AS he was gone longer than usual
she became worried. thinking as he
had a wooden leg, that perhaps he had
fallen and hurt himself. so she start
cd out to the barn 10 search for him.
The barn is some little distance from
the house. and has n basement. The
upper or main floor is used for a car
riage house, while underneath are kept
the horse, Il cow and some hens. n
portion of the basement being parti-
toned off to accommodate the poultry
Not finding her husband on the floor
above. Mrs. Wentworth went down to
the basement door and tried to open
it. but it required some strength to do
so. and in so doing she was Mortified to
find her husbands body lying on the
floor. Her screams soon brought sev-
cral neighbors to her assistance, and
upon investigating it was found that
the man had shot himself in the head
Drs. w. S. Hill and r. ]. Martin.
City Marshal Breen and Coroner J. +.
Bean were at once notified and were
soon upon the scene. when an examin-
alton was made. The man lay upon
his back just behind the stall in which
stood the COW. the greater part of his
body being in the stable. but his head
lay within the doorway to the house
Near the head was a large pool of
blood. and the right side of his face
as well as the front of his clothes. We're
examination and found that there was
to the house.
The wound which caused death was
located just above and a little in front
of the right ear. In entering. the bullet
had torn a hole in the skull nearly an
inch and a half long, and had taken
a slightly downward and backward
course lodging in the base of the skull
The doctors probed for the bullet but
could not locate It. and decided not to
perform an operation as the wounded
man could not survive it.
AS to the cause which led to this act
of self destruction, it is supposed to be
the result of long continued domestic
troubles, though it is limited that there
may have been other reasons. No in
quest was considered necessary.
Mr.. Wentworth was native of
Prince Edward Island. but has made
Augusta his home for II or Is years.
He was a harness maker by trade and
was 80 years of uge.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
a Glance at an Account Bool; Of First
of the Century.

A reporter recently looked over an
account hook in Charles +. Nash's Of
flee that is very interesting. both on
account of its age. and also for many
facts that are likely to be forgotten
in this age of hustle and hustle.
1t seems that this book was part of
an account kept By the administrators
of Thomas Dickinson, evidently a de-
ceased store keeper whose goods We're
being closed out The first entry is
dated Dec. >, $685. and the writing IS
of an Old fashioned style. with the old
| form of the s. and peculiar spelling.
In SCme places the term Sfillings is
| used and in others, cents. Some of the
entries may be of interest. There was
| one-one pint of gin, SO cents; one gal
| lon of rum. so cents: one pound of loaf
sugar, 10 cents: and here it might be
| we'll to mention that loaf sugar as
used in those times was not the loaf
sugar to be found in the stores of
| today. 1t was a genuine loaf. similar
in shape and about one-half the size
of a loaf of bread. 1t was customary
to place the loaf on the table and
| break it off with tongs as required.
Another item is one quart of wine
and a dozen biscuit for "a cents-some-
| thing different from modern prices.
| Another item that is OF interest is beef
at cents Il pound. A person didn't
! have to possess much of the filthy lu-
| ere to enjoy good steak in those
! davs Tea was 30 cents pound. All
| the tea was brought from England anc
| only the weather. classes could AZ
| ford to drink it. One quart of new
| RIM was quoted at the extremely low
price of IS cents. They had no seizure
fines to pay in those days. Eggs were
| 10 cents a dozen and lamb 31a cents a
! Mound There was no way to export
hay. and all that was cut was Tor
home consumption. 1t was sold Tor -
q ton. Cambria was G. cents yard,
wood So cord. Apple orchards We're
scarce and apples brought II cents a
peck.
Times have greatly changed and the
fact is easily recognizable after an IN
| snection of this ancient account book
| Modern inventions in the way OF easy
methods for quick transportation, al
| yanced methods of agriculture ana
manufacturing, and competition, nave
made such changes in the prices paid
for goods of daily consumption that II
a person of that time could revisit the
earth. he would hardly recognize any
of the existing conditions as having
any similarity to those of his time.

THE STANDING.
BANGOR ENTERS LEAGUE.
Rockland Does Not Pay and Bangor Wi
Fill out the Schedule

Bath, Me. Dec. "a meeting of the
managers of the Maine Polo League was
held at the office of Harry c. Weber,
the secretary, in this city, Saturday.
Bangor wanted polo badly. and parties
from that city offered to deposit $500 az
n guarantee that that city would remain
in the league until the close of the sea-
son.
All the cities on the circuit are paying
well except Rockland, and that team has
been managed by the league for several
weeks since Manager William Long gave
it up. Bangor wanted the Rockland team
transferred there, and the league decided
to grant Bangor the franchise desired.
The Rockland team will play it's last
game in Rockland. Monday night, and its
first game in Bangor. Thursday.
The team is now close second on the
list. Bangor will take the same schedule
as that which Rockland would have had.
