well past thirty-five with streak,
of gray appearing in her smooth

! ed plainly in rich brown materia
cut in tailor fashion, and her
heavy hair was drawn strait ur
pompadour style from her fore
head with apparent carelessness
and yet in way that heightened
the repression of strength anc
beauty in her face. Her nose
was the one feature that gave
warning of trouble imam encount-
er. She was plump in size al

too small FOR the breadth of her
face. It was broad enough, but
too short, and was pug tipped

The Modern Pompeii.

Nearly 400 people greeted Prof.
Frank r. Robertson at the Green Street
Methodist church. Thursday evening
TO listen TO his lecture on the Danish
West Indies. illustrated by $50 stere-
opticon views of the actual scenes and
places.
This was the 18th lecture delivered
in the Methodist church in this city by
Prof. Robertson and the Both delivered
within the corporate limits of the city
ard doubtless this was the very best
that he has ever delivered here. Prof.
Robertson possesses the same striking
ability to interest and entertain as of
yore and his photograph illustrations
are wonderful for their reality and
clearness. They were excellently ma
nipulated by Fred A. Hailes. who is
well-known hero as an artist in his
line. The views lend a new and strik-
ing interest to the narrative and make
its events singularly vivid and real.
The narrative itself is worth going
miles to hear. 1t is an official de-
scriptiOn from first to last, the story
being based entirely upon facts OBJ
tanned by the commission sent to the
West Indies by Pres. Roosevelt on the
relief ship Dixie. with which commits
sion it was Prof. Roberson's privilege
to go.
The narrative describes how on the
voyage to Martinique the Dixie was
forced into the West Indies Islands
because of the air being surcharged
with electricity, SO as to render the
compass useless. The commission saw
that portion of the island where
Dewey's fleet is now mobilizing; they
landed at Fort DeFrance and after
thoroughly visiting that capital city
of Martinique sailed along the coast to
st. Pierre.
OF St. Pierre Prof Robertson OBJ
tanned $50 views and in his narrative
contrasted it before and after the
eruption. making the presentation of
the subject surprisingly vivid. Prof
Robertson saw the dead in the streets
and the grewsOme sights of their burn
ing bodies. He saw, too, a score or
more of the citizens who were killed
and visited all the prominent parts of
the Modern POmpeii.

The greater part of Thursday in the
law court was occupied in the argu-
ment of Knox county cases.
In the forenoon the Kennebec county
case of Abram Rich of Gardiner. VS..
A. r. Hayes, de bOnis now, admins
traitor of the estate of Dingley Bros.
to recover on note for $4,000, was
heard. Joseph Williamson, Jr, of Au-
gusta, appeared for the plaintiff, and
George W. Heselton, Esq, of Gardiner,
for the estate.
Counsel Heselton claimed that the
case had once before been tried out
when the estate brought an action
against Rich on a mortgage for $4,000,
and a settlement was then effected by
allowing certain Endorsements on the
note and the mortgage TO stand against
Richs property. Subsequently the
Ding!ey Bros estate recovered judg-
ment against Rich and levied on the
estate in his property.
Rich then brought suit for $4,000, re-
covering judgment for $500. Hon. AL
bert NJ. Spear, now an associate JUS
tice. was Rich's counsel.
Attorney Williamson contended that
the endorsement was made by acct
dent on the plaintiffs note for $4,000
and to sustain his position produced
letters which he claimed were served
on Dingley Bros. notifying them OF
this fact.
The defendants. under newly discov-
cred evidence. produced letters from
Rich to Dingley Bros. which they
claim were inconsistent with the let
tiers introduced by the plaintiff.
Among the out-of-town lawyers pres
ent at Thursdays session were the
following: Hon. Oscar F. Fellows OF
Bucksport. who will be elected Speaker
of the next House without opposition
Hon. Merrill a. Johnson of Rockland,

ty: Frank b. Millen of Camden, for
