Police Judge D. A. Mitchell said: Il
question very much the plan for the resto-
ration Of capital punishment in Kansas.
Perhaps it IS the position I occupy here
which makes me suspicious Of evidence,
and the lightness with which many OF

they would dance a quadrille. They think

VENICE ON THE MAINE COAST.
Splendid SIMMER Resort Projected
by the Millionaire Yschtsman,
"Inaependence Lawson"

Thomas w. Lawson, yachtsman, cop
per king, multimillionaire, horse
breeder, dog fancier and gas agitator,
is going TO build a miniature Venice on
the rugged coast of Maine, reports a
Boston spondent Of the Philadel-
phia North American.
He has bought two islands off Ston-
ington on Deer isle, and has an option
on u others, which he will pay for
when the titles are proved to his sat
isfaction. These islands are situated
in Isle Au Taut bay, and are about IS
miles from the mainland.
His plans contemplate the building
Of the most remarkable summer resort
ia the United States. The islands are
all close together and many of them
can be connected with bridges. On
Saddle Back. the largest Of the group,
about 30 acres in extent, Mr.. Lawson
will erect a magnificent palace for him
self.
The whole matter will be placed in
the hands Of a landscape artist, who
will furnish plans which will trans
form the islands into "Nenice in
America" The smaller islands will be
cleared of everything unsightly, but
everything which shows the rugged
beauty of the group vii! be left un.
touched.
On some Of the larger islands there
will be Conservatives and uncovered
vestibules. Miniature parks viii be
filed with deer, bears, gray squirrels,
partridges and every game animal that
lives in Maine The whole cost Of the
project will be above S1,000,000.

so thin that she gave up all hope Of

Diet He placed her upon strict
regimen of bananas, nothing else, say
the New York Herald.
The result was marvellous. She grew

Jelly. She also had banana fritters and

She grew more plump and rosy. and

Bananas contain starch II its most
easily assimilated form. Homeopathic
doctors have for some years called this
tropica! fruit unwholesome, but it is
only indigestible when unripe. As
most bananas arrive here and are
eaten in a green state, cooking is nee
essary to develop their valuable nutri-
tive qualities.
The delicious large red banana from
Cuba is the most acceptable one, but
now very scarce. The cheapness of this
