KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN
Have Provided One Third Of Amount to Furnish
ChiIdren's Ward.

MANY of the friends and parents
would like to know just how the pro-
ceeds Of the recitals given by the kin
dergarten classes of 1900 and 1901 were
invested for the children's ward in the
CITY Hospital. The money amounted TO
sAS5 20. The children added enough to
this to more than make up an even
$40. enabling them to give one-third of
the $50 required for furnishing the
children's ward This money has been
most judciously expended with the
advice of the matron and committee
Of the hospital.
So in the children's ward now there
are three pretty little iron beds. white
With brass rails, furnished with the
hest of hair mattresses and pillows,
three willow rocking chairs for emil
dren. one regular sized rocker for the
nurse and one White table for medi-
cines. and a large picture of CHRIST
Blessing Little Children.
Thanks are due Mr.. Il. w. Souie
and Mr.. Quimby for liberal discounts.
enabling the children to get such Sood
value for their money.
Miss Partridge and her pupils wish
the little girls of The club" the best
of success in their Easter sale ana
hone they will take as much pleasure
in the work Of furnishing their la
share of the children'S ward. as me
little ones have in doing their part.

MARI IS RETICEnT.
The Clinton Murderer Refuses TO Discuss Case
Makes a Model Prisoner

The following is a likeness Of Jacob
=. Mari. the Clinton farmer, who oc-
cupies cell at the Augusta Jail, where
he confined, awaiting the action Of the
April grand jury, for the murder of his
three children.
Marr's cell is at the southwest
corner Of the main floor Of the Jail, at
the head of the flight Of stairs leading
to the basement. and within its narrow
confines the man who is charged with
one OF the most horrible murders ever
committed in the State of Maine,
passes the greater portion of his time.
At certain hours. each day. he is al
lowed the freedom Of the corridor for
exercise. but these periods are short,
and he seems more satisfied with the
seclusion which his cell affords.

a Fortunate Happening. !

1t is fact that the good happens
as unexpectedly as the i'll.
1t has been remarked by thousands
and thousands of thoughtful people.
Once in a while it is confirmed by
our own experience or that of our
friend or neighbor, and then it deeply
impresses us.
I have in mind the good that hap
pened to Mrs. Lizzie Cramp, wife of a
farmer living in Pittsfeld, Me-, which
came to my knowledge in March, 1900.
In the fall Of 1898 she caught severe
cold, which lasted all winter, so affect
ing her ears and eyes that in the spring
she could not hear nor see perfectly.
1t greatly impaired her health. She
took medicines, which helped her only
temporarily, and at the close of the
summer of 1899 she was rapidly grow
ing worse. Now, at the very time when
she had lost all confidence in medicine,
a paper unexpectedly reached her home
containing testimonial signed by Mrs.
+. w. Barker, a Boston dressmaker,
to the effect that she had been similarly
afflicted and had been cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla.
What good happened to Mrs.
Cramp when that paper reached her
home! 1t was the good 1 had in mind.
That testimonial gave her confidence
in Hoods Sarsaparilla, which was the
very medicine she needed, her trouble
being catarrh and therefore complica-
ted with an impure or scrofulous con-
dition of the blood. She began taking
that medicine, and it soon made her well,
curing her catarrh and removing an
itching eruption on her foot and ankle,
improving her appetite and making her
sleep refreshing.
Mrs. Cramp now adds her testimonial
in favor of Hoods SarsapariIla, to Mrs.
Barker's and others, and it is hoped
that it will lead many whom this medi-
cine would surely cure to take it. 1t is
unequaled for the debilitated or run
down from any cause; cures dyspepsia,
catarrh, kidney complaint; eradicates
scrofula; makes the blood rich and
builds up the whole system. Try it.

Bangor News says:
Game Warden George w. Ross Of
Washington coynty, who has made the
life of the poachers of that section any
thing but Il cheerful one for the mast
two years. captured another violator Of
thu Maine game laws on Wednesday
night, and so complete was the evidence
which the warden had against the man
that when arraigned in court on Thurs
day he pleaded guilty to the charge
against him.
Last week Warden Ross received in
formation that a bull moose had been
killed near Crawford plantation, and he
at once went to work on the case He
soon learned that the animal was killed
on Monday, March IS, and that there
were very good grounds for suspecting
one Geo. McCoon of Crawford of hav-
ing done the deed. BY careful work the
warden soon got a great dea! Of inform
alton and then fell 10 watching the sus-
pccted man.
On Tuesday he got upon McCoons trail
and followed him to Machias, where he
learned on Wednesday that the man had
sold part Of the moose, and also found
where the hind quarter of the moose was
concealed. While gathering this inform
alton Ross had lost track Of his man and
1t was not until late on Wednesday night
that he located him. At last he found
him playing poker in room on the third
floor Of a Machias house and arrested
him
Thursday morning. McCoon was ar
f1tSned before Trial Justice Harry Smith
of Machias on the charge Of having killed
a bul moose in close time. He pleaded
sunty and was sentenced to pay a tine
