EXAMINATION For WEST POINT.

The death of Cadet Edmund NJ. Scott,
of Bath, who was member of the
class of 1908, in the United States Mil
itary Academy at West Point, leaves a
vacancy there from the Second Con-
gressional District of Maine, and Con-
gresham Littlefeld has been requested
to nominate young man for appoint
ment as cadet there, also another for
appointment as alternate, to have the
appointment in case the person APP
pointed as cadet for any reason fails
to enter the academy. Both the cadet
and the alternate must report at West
Point for examination on Wednesday,
June 3, 1901. Mr.. Littlefield desires
that all the boys in his District who are
eligible for the appointment and
desire to try for it may have the OPP
portunity, and he has, therefore, ar
ranged for competitive examination
to be held at Lewiston ON Thursday,
May 30th, at the office of DR.. Milton c.
Wedgwood. Any bona fide resident of
Second Congressional District, between
the ages of II and % years, of sound
body and constitution, may try for the
appointment and the person passing
the best examination will receive the
appointment as cadet, while the per-
son passing the next highest will re-
ceive the appointment as alternate,
and both must be willing to report at
West Point for examination on June
9Th, as the War Department is anx-
ious to keep the maximum number of
cadets in the academy. Mr.. Littlefield
regrets that the notice is so short, but
he is DESTROYS of complying with the
wishes of the Department to have his
District represented at the academy,
and he desires to place all the boys in
his District who may wish to enter
there upon an equal footing.

Sunday by shooting himself in the head
with shot gun loaded with buck shot.
1t is said that domestic troubles were
the cause of his act.
The state insurance commissioner has
suspended the license of the Manhattan
Fire Insurance Co. of New York to do
business in this state. This was re-
suit of an investigation into the condi-
tion of the company. Last year the
company wrote over half q million of
risks in Maine.
Capt Albert Hamilton, who disap-
peared from Boston with the freight
money of the schooner Niger, about
four weeks ago, has been heard from.
He is in New York, and will stay, he
says, until he earns the money he lost.

The latest Maine murder is one of the
most awful affairs on record. On the
morning of Monday, Nay 18th, the farm
buildings of j. Wesley Allen, a pros
porous farmer of Shirley, were found
entirely destroyed by fire. In the ruins
of the barn was the body of Mr.. Allen,
and in the ruins of the house and ell
were the bodies of the other members of
the family, his wife and daughter. Pools
of blood at little distance from the
buildings, and other evidences show I'M
mistakably that the people were muir
dered and fire set to the buildings. Sus-
picion is directed against the gang who
held up the Sangerville stage and stole
q package of liquor. but there is abso-
lutely no definite clue to work. Mr..
Allen was a respected citizen, on good
terms with everybody so far as known.
Henry Lambert, guide who has lived
in q camp near the Allen place, has been
placed under arrest.

In all well regulated meat markets
people may go in and select choice
piece of meat and have a skewer placed
in it, marked, and have it placed in the
refrigerator or corned and get it when
thew choose. Sometimes men seeing
these marked pieces want them very
badly. "Yes, Mr.. - must have the
best" "Why not let me have that?'
In one case this worked. The proprietor
finding stale cut on his hands placed a
skewer in the same. A customer soon
appeared. "Whose cut is this?" "Mr.
Blanks" "Why not let me have that.
you can get him another?" 81 suppose
/ can" The man takes his cut home,
where it was soon learned that either
