Canned goods will be high, this
man, Saturday. 1.-The shortage in the
corn crop, this season, has raised the
wholesale price of canned corn about
37ia per cent. higher than it was last
year Then a fancy grade of canned
corn could be obtained for $1.1O a
dozen: this year the price is $15O a
dozen. ard it is hard to get it at that.
Many packers will be unable to fill
their future orders. Peas also are
growing scarce, although the price re-
mains at $135 to $1.75 a dozen, about
the same as i'm 1901; but this price
will increase as soon as the corn now
on hand is used up, for peas will be
counted on as a substitute for corn.
Tomatoes are very scarce, as they have
been for few seasons past. The
wholesale price is about what is was
last year at this time. Then tomatoes
wholesaled for $1.20 q dozen; now the
price rs s1.40 to $1.45 a dozen. Spin
mach sells for $1.50 and is growing
scarce: squash and apples are lower
than last year. In 1901 gallon apples
went as high as 81 q dozen, but this
year they can be bought for $2.25.
Sardines, the real, imported kind, are
away up They have jumped from %
and 80 cents per box to Is and 81
cents, according to the size of the box.
Olives are fairly reasonable in price,
being a shade lower than they We're,
last year"

that she is the duly appointed admin

Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath, attorney for
the Augusta, Winthrop & Gardiner
Street Railroad Company, has filed a
that the verdict was contrary to the law
and evidence in the case of A. Manley
Guild. appellant from the decree of the
county commissioners vs.. the railroad
company. The jury returned verdict
for the appellant for $7O7.56.
The case was one of land damages
and created some interest throughout
Kennebec county.
When the Winthrop construction was
built the road passed through the land
of the appellant under the act passed
by the Legislature of 1898 giving an
electric railroad company the right of
eminent domain and giving the proper
tribunal the power to give a fair value
70 the property thus taken.
The case is the first of it's kind to be
tried in the Maine courts where an
electric railroad company has been in
volved. although of course there have
been many cases where the litigation
concerned the roads run by steam.
The testimony on the part of the
plaintiff tended to show that the land
at issue was worth more than the
amount allowed by the county commits
sioners.
The defense cOntended that the offer
was just and equitable and the build
ing of the road greatly enhanced the
value of the property. William II. Nc

Williamson, Jr., of the firm of William
son 4 Burleigh of Augusta for the ap-

PREFER DEATH TO BLINDNESS
Two Startling Instances of the Kind
Recently Reported from
Vienna, Austria.

A Hungarian woman and an Aus
trian Judge committed suicide because
they were appalled, by fear of total
Blindness. Miss Michael Yung, who
lived alone, but in comfort, in Gross
warden, had been told by the doctors
that blindness was her unavoidable
fate, saws late account from Vienna.
She straightway had large carving
knife sharpened, lay down on her bed
and cut her throat so savagely that
her head was detached from the body,
rolled off the bed and was found on
the floor by those who entered the
room in the morning.
Court Councillor Won Holzinger, the
most learned, most feared, yet up
right judge of the high court of vi
emma, blew out his brains. He met
all his friends in the last week of his
life, visited all his favorite spots,
seemed quite himself all the time,
passed his very last day precisely as
usual, and at 1890 that night went
to his office in the courts, locked him
self in, wrote few lines to say that
fear of blindness made him wish to
end his life, and he. hoped that his
friends would forgive him the bru-
tally of his exit from life, then shot
himself

NEW USES FOR NEW F YRS.
HusSian Pony and White Cnlf-SISins
Are Sent to London for Mo-
tOrists' Suits.

Russia is sending us a couple Of
very novel pelts, the skins of ponies
and of calves for making motor-car
dresses and coats, and for the Rus
sian blouses wealthy women are
wearing so much this winter, says
the London Mail.
The skins of the ponies are not
very large and are forwarded, names
and all, to the furriers, but so far
the names have not been made use
full Perhaps the Toy trade will
eventually profit by them, and the
fiery nursery steeds of the rocking
horse and Gray Dobbin persuasion
be equipped with the long silky hair
of these creatures.
Anyone who has travelled in Russia
will know the pale, tawny shade of
the native pony, almost lion-like in
color. 1t is also the commonly met
hue of the little scandinavian horses
driven in Norway almost exclusive
~, and much seen, too, in Sweden
and Finland. The skin dyes brown
and lovely jet black most success
fully, and is so strong that it is I'M
commonly suitable for rough-wear
wraps.
Nor is it outrageously expensive. A
Russian blouse made of it comes to
Sb guineas. Motorists in the femi-
nine world are wearing enormous
coats sti1, but newer than these are
short, jaunty fur skirts and pouched
boleros to match.
Russian pony suits are certain to
please them, and fur caps of the
pelt are sent. out with the toilette,
so that the whole picture is COM
plete.
The Russian calf makes very pref
ty snow-white coats, tufted with
h \. and charming revers, cuffs,
ties anu nuffs for cloth redingotes.
TO some eyes this pelt will resemble
miniver, but there is a huge mon
ctary difference between it and err
mine as well as a visible one, espe-
cially as miniver-which is really
ermiue tufted with TIE black tips Of
the tails only, instead of the tails
.thenselves-is daily going up in
price in view of the coronation and
its requirements.

WHY PA WAS MAD.
Under the Circumstances 1t Would
Have Been Hard to Preserve
Ones Good Nature.

At the Schley banquet on a recent
evening Rev. II. a. White, one Of the
speakers, told the following story, says
the Chicago Tribune;
An old farmer walking down. a
country road one morning came TO q
spot where a huge load of hay had slid
off the rack to the ground. A small
boy, perhaps 10 years old, was work
ing hard with a pitchfork, trying to
pitch the hay back on the wagon. The
farmer felt sorry for the poor little
chap, and, as it was nearly noon, asked
him to come and have dinner and take
a little rest.
"Come over to the house with me,
sonny" he said, "and have some dinner.
You'll feel more like working then"
"Well," said the boy, 81 am tired and
hungry, and I'd like some dinner very
much. but pa would be angry with me
ii I went. He wouldn't like it bit"
But the farmer was persistent. Final
" he persuaded the boy to leave his
work and come with him, the boy ex-
pressing the fear as he left that pa II
be awful mad"
They had a good country dinner, and
the small boy displayed the best kind
of an appetite. After dinner they lay
down for half an hour in the shade Of
the big oaks. Finally the farmer es-
corted the boy back to the spot where
the overturned load of hay lay in the
highway. The poy picked up his pitch
fork with sigh.
81 feel a lot better" he said. "That
dinner was great, but 1 tell you pail
be awful mad at me for quitting
work"
whats the matter with your pa.
anyhow" asked the old farmer.
"Where is he?"
"Who, pap" answered the small boy.
"Oh, pas under the hay"

ZOE DIDN'T SPARE THE TREE.
ExpInined to the Judge why He Cut
Down the Only Shade-PrOducer
in Devils Dip.

A tall, thin youth from DEVILS Dip
walked languidly from the waiting
room when the name of Joe Dormann
was called.
"Joe's been cutting down a shade
tree" stated the arresting officer.
"He cut down the only tree in the
Dip and was cording it up for stove
wood when we caught him."
"You are sparely built, Joe," said
the recorder to the prisoner, "and
'woodman, spare that tree should
have been a sacred old poem to you.
Maybe you read it: 'Woodman, spear
that tree You Devil Dippers are the
first people to hunt the shade in sum-.
mer, and when the cold weather comes
you go to cutting down the trees. 1
am surprised that the officer says
there was only one shade tree in the
Dip, for I have always looked upon
the Dip as a very shady place. What
have you got to say about your shady
conduct?"

Joe, "an' I takes 'membrunce dat no.

"But you didn't forget to ak the

Broyles. Because you destroyed the

cape from the police, 1 will make your

"Yer's sho got er mighty big unly,"

MISTAKE OF THE MOTHER.
Five other Women Mourn Because
She Gives Way to Her Boy
and Spells Him.

In the car was one vacant seat.
Opposite it sat five women who
looked as if they might be comfort
able, capable and at ease with the
world, says the New York Sun.
A sixth woman who was thin and
delicate and had a little boy with
her got on the car, and sat down in
the vacant seat. That left her boy
standing. The boy was in the neigh
borhood of four, was fat, had a rudy
face and said:
Mamma, give me that seat. want
to sit down."
The five women opposite looked
disapprovingly at the boy and in
quiringly at the mother. She stroked
the boys cap, bent down and whis-
pered something in his ear and kept
the seat. The five women smiled en-
couragingly at her. The boy howled:
Mamma, I'm tired. You stand and
let me sit down."
The five women smiled. The moth
er blushed, caressed the boy again
and whispered once more in his ear.
The boy beat her lap with his fists,
stamped his feet on the car floor and
wept as he shouted:
81 won't stand. Gimme that seat!"
The mother looked around appeal
ingly little, blushed a little and
then-got up. The boy promptly
climbed into the seat. The five wom-
en- looked at one another, nodded
their heads in unison, and then ejacu-
lated in chorus:
"She's made a mistake Now she
will always have TO give in to him."
A man tried to readjust the situa-
ton by giving his seat to the mother.
That solution of the difficulty pleased
the mother, but did not satisfy the
five women, who continued to stare
disapprovingly at the boy as if they
would like to be alone with him for
a few minutes and to calculate:
"She's made a mistake. Now she'll
have to give in to him always"

BLOOD TEST OF GUILT.
Striking Instance of Superstition
Lately Witnessed I'm n Chinese
Mixed Court.

An instance of the prevalence OF SUI
perstition among the better class OF
Chinese, even in Europeanized com
munities, is supplied by a recent trial
before the mixed court at Shanghai,
reports the New York Sun. Magis-
trate Chang was sitting. An English
assessor was present, and counsel APP
peared on both sides.
The case was one in which a native
detective was accused of abducting a
girl betrothed to another man. The
question before the magistrate to de-
eide was whether the accused should
be arraigned on civil or a criminal
charge.
All the witnesses, even the girl her
self and her mother, declared that
the man had not maltreated her. But
Magistrate Chang was of another
opinion, and he commanded that the
mother be beaten in order to extract
the confession he was sure she was
Withholding. This was futile, OF
course, as the poor woman had moth
ing to confess.
Then the accused man, who was
already on his knees, took oath in
Chinese fashion by breaking a saucer.
Most solemnly he protested that his
relations with the girl had been
proper. Still the magistrate was not
satisfied and he demanded another
test.
The girls forefnger was first cut
and the blood therefrom allowed to
to drop into bowl of water proyid-
ed by the court. The detectives fin
ger was next cut, and the same pro-
ceeding carried out. The magistrate
then held that as the blood mixed,
the detective was guilty, and remand
ed him for trial before the court on
a criminal charge.
