SUMMING UP.
Trial of Albert T. Patrick is Nearing
an End.

New York, March 24.-Robert NJ.
Moore began today the summing up for
the defense in the trial of Albert T.
Patrick accused of the murder of VIM.
NJ. Rice. In opening he said the prose-
cution had shown no motive for the
killing of Rice by Patrick, because
Patrick under the 1900 will was not to
inherit Rices millions for himself but
for the carrying of trust. Jones'
statement that Rice was killed at the
direction of Patrick, the lawyer con-
tended was unworthy of belief, because
Jones had a motive in making that
statement. Mr.. Moore laid stress on
the wording of the will of 1896 which he
declared gave far greater power of the
Rice estate to Capt. Baker than the 1900
will give to Patrick

system of the country is being steadily
developed. Since the government built
it's first lire of Is miles from Yokohama

100000 passengers and 100000 tons of
freight. No private construction was
done until 1888, when the government
had ISL miles of railway under opera

vate enterprise began to lead govern
mental effort At the end of 1901 the
state had 1.O17 miles of new line under

CITY GOVERNMENT

ou aREELY's ADDREss--FEw
CHANGES IN MINOR CITY Off
GERS APPROPRIATIONS

The new municipal administration OF
v,sxorth took up the reins OF govern
,rsut on Monday. Bot little genera
,,,srest was manifested in the meeting, as
!, xss foregone conclusion that with
-, two changes in the board, and no
change in political complexion, there
..o,,d be few changes in the minor
oeces. The number OF spectators
,,ssent when the board organized was
,hs sualIesl for several years.
For the fourth successive time, Mayor
. W. Greedy took the oath of office as
mayor. and delivered an inaugural ad-
dress, hich is printed In full below.
The new board enters upon the years
standardization under favorable circum-
stances. With several years OF experience
in municipal affairs enjoyed by the
MAYOR and three of the aldermen, with no
debt. from last year to meet and no ex-
trsordinsry expenditures in sight for this
year, there is every probability that the
hoard will be able to materially reduce
the tax rate and st the same time pay
something on the city debt.

jury Says ChIId Murder.

The investigation last week by County
Attorney Tracy and Coroner Fields OF the
case OF infanticide, disclosed by the find
ing OF the body of an infant on the shore
at Casttne two weeks ago, resulted in no
new developments.
coroner's jury was summoned and
after hearing the evidence, returned a
verdict that the child came to it's death by
strangulation at the hands Of some person
or persons unknown
The rumor to the effect that the child
had been born on one of the Boston aud
Bangor boats seems to have been exploded.
1t probably grew out of the fact that a
reputable married woman, who is well
known, was taken ill on the boat and left
IL at Rockiand.
County Attorney Tracy will confer with
the attorney general of the State with the
view OF making further investigation of
the case.

What A WatervfHe Man
Did.

This statement was made by Henry
j. Collins, IA Drummond Ave-, Water
vile, Me-, on the 24th OF June, 1900 -
Il weighed one hundred and twenty
four pounds.
"My face and body were covered
with pimples, and for nearly 8 years
l had been troubled with my kidneys.
II now weigh one hundred and
fifty-six pounds.
my face and body are free from
pimples, and my kidneys do not trou-
BILE me at all"
What did he do for himself?
That is pertinent question.
Before it is answered, let il be said
that he did what he was told to do,
and that was what thousands had been
told to do and had done with entire
satisfaction to themselves.
And yet it was what many are delay
ing to do, simply because they cannot
make up their minds to do it, in spite
OF the fact that pimples are pimples
and kidney complaint is kidney COM
plant, and what has cured these things
in one person can be reasonably ex-
pected to cure them in another.
He took Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
has an unequalled record OF perma-
nent cures of pimples and kidney COM
plant, as well as of all other cntaneous
eruptions, all scrofulous diseases, ca
tarrh, dyspepsia, rheumatism and
general debility.
Hoods Sarsaparilla acts directly and
peculiarly on the blood, and by making
it pure, rich and abundant, strengthens
the stomach, liver and kidneys, per-
fects digestion, secretion and excretion,
clears the complexion, increases the
weight, and builds up the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, being an excel
lent remedy, is one for which substi-
tutes are sometimes offered. They do
not act like Hoods, and it is expensive,
in view of the result, to experiment
with them.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is obtainable of
all druggists.
