to ascertain the genuineness of the

hold that when the ordinary senses are

PardOned *
After II Years

After serving IL years of a life SEN
tence for the murder of John Wilson
Barron. cashier Of the Dexter (Me.)
Savings Bank, two prisoners in the
States prison at Thomaston, Me-, were
released from confinement, recently,
they having been proven innocent of
the crime of which they we're found
guilty. The two men. David L. Stain
and Oliver Cromwell, are to-day sad
wrecks of the sturdy specimens of ply
steal manhood who entered the prison
gates in the latter sos. One Of them
is 70 years old and the other II, and
both are so enfeebled by their confine-
ment that they canno long live to en-
JOY liberty. The crime of which they
were found guilty and for which they
suffered occurred February %, 1878.

he died the next day without recover
ing consciousness. The crime was for
long a mystery, and it was not until
about a decade later, in October, 1887,
that Cromwell and Stain were arrested.
The information which led to their ar
rest was given by Charles F. Stain and
John F. Harvey, son and ~brother-in-
law respectively of Stain. Stains story

one of whom was Cromwell, to Dexter,
where a study Of the bank surround
ings was made. The three. he said,
made another trip to the place in Feb
ruary Of the following year, but h4
did not accompany them. All the de-
tails Of the trip were given him in
1888, however, he claimed, by his fifth
er, who when he lay sick and d4liri-
Gus, described how he, Cromwell and
another man had entered the bink on
February %, 1873, and UNEXPECTEDLY
finding the cashier there had bound and
gagged him and placed him in the
vault, to prevent an alarm beng given.
Harvey said Cromwell had confessed to
him that he had participated in the
murder. Popular opinion was strongly
against the accused and tley were con-
victed, Notwithstanding the fact that
both Stain and Harvey had grievances
against the prisoners and it was
Thoughts they might have taken this
way to have revenge. Friends of the
convicted men kept on working in
their behalf and finally had secured I'M
deniable proof that the prisoners were
at Medfeld, Mass, 900 miles from Dex-

ted. The result CT their %endeavors is
the release of the wrongfully convicted

Living in
* Cuba

When Gen. Leonard Wood was in
Washington he talked very freely
about the conditions in Cuba, writes a
correspondent. One of the interesting
points he made was the expense which
army officers are under, pointing ont
that very few officers care to serve in
Cuba simply because the expenses are
SO great. 1t was, of course, known that
all the army officers under Spanish
regime had various ways of securing
money other than their regular salary
allowance. It was stated on good au-
thority before the Spanish war that
every army officer from the captain
general down to first lieutenants had
a way of securing certain brides and
.rake-offs, perquisites which American
officers never had, never will take, and
which would not be compatible with
service in the United States army. AL
though Gen. Wood receives a double
salary, that is, $1,000 as major general
Iof volunteers and a like amount from
the Cuban revenues as governor of
Cuba, he says that it is more difficult
for him to maintain himself in the big
rambling palace at Havana than it
would be in the United States with a
much smaller allowance. The COVER
nor general is expected to entertain
the captain of every ship that comes
into Cuba, and all Of the commercial

to be transferred to other service be-
cause they find their expenses so high
that they are unable to meet them.

l know from personal experience that
such is the case. On this account, if
no other, the officers of the United
States army will be glad when they
are no longer serving in Cuba"

A Delightful Dance at

Night.

The first dance of the year given by
the Healani Boat Club, last night, was
one of the most delightful social events
of the season. About 100 invited guests
gathered N the club hall and upon the
cool lanais at 9 o'clock. The boat house
had been prettily decorated with ever
greens, bunting and Hawaiian and
American flags. Prominent We're the
trophies won by the crews, and not the
least of these was the splendid photo
graph of the senior crew which took the
championship race at Pearl Harbor last
fall The floor was admirably adapted
for such a large crowd and the entrance
ing music of native quintet club en-
livened the scene as only the strains of
the waltz and deux temps can.
Arrangements had been made to have
the dancers go rowing about the harbor,
but southerly wind came up early IN
the evening bringing with it little white
caps which caused trepidation amongst
the fair sex, and this feature of the en-
tertainmeut was abandoned. Dancing
