MRS. HERZUG WINS.
One of Isle au Hauts Summer Colon
Breaks her Fathers Will.

One of Isle au Haut's Summer Colony
Breaks her Fathers Will.
People who have visited at Isle au
Haut during the summer, and others
who have met Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Her
zog of New York during their stay
in Maine, will be interested to know
that Mrs. Herzog has received de-
cision in her favor in the suit which she
instituted against the will of her faith
er James J. McComb. The will cut
Mrs. HerZog off with $4,000 a year,
but by the decision rendered by the
court she now gets one-fourth OF an es-
tate amounting to S20,000,00 A press
despatch says: Several millions are in
voved in the case of Herzog appellant,
against the Title Guarantee & Trust
Company, in which the court of appeals
reversed the judgment OF the appellate
division and sustained that of Judge
Truax in especial term.
The decision gives Fannie McComb
HerZog a quarter interest in the estate
of her father who died in New York
McComb will gave her this quarter in
terest in case she married Mr.. HerZog.
L
1901, married Louis HerZog, a Philadel
phia artist, despite the condition in the
will of her father, James Jennings Nc
Comb, that if she did so he would cut
her off with only ST., 200 a year, and
thereby deprive her of between $4,000
600 and S4,000000 which otherwise
would be her share of the estate.
In December, 1902, Mrs. Herzog pre-
sented her husband with a son, who
was brought into the litigation as a
party interested.
James J. McComb's fortune has been
estimated at between $15,O00 900 and
S2O,O0O,0O He had handsome resi-
dence at Dobbs' Ferry.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herzog will spend their
summers hereafter near Isle au Haut,
where they purchased an island last
September, and where they intend to
build a cottage this year.

Public Libraries in Maine.

Five free public Libraries have been
established in Maine this year, being
those at Guilford, Freeport, Alfred,
East Livermore and South Berwick,
and in accordance with the provisions
of the law, State Librarian Carver has
sent to each of them 500 worth of
books. According to Mr.. Carver's lat
est report there were, a year ago, 80
free libraries in the State. This list
does not include the various circulat-
ing libraries, the school libraries, or the
county law libraries. Of libraries of
all kinds in Maine there are probably
1000 exclusive of those of private in
dividuals. The State library with al
most 10000 volumes is the largest and
that of Bowdoin college with over 3d.
600 volumes ranking next. Mr.. Car
yer has been getting in returns of late
from the public libraries in Maine
towns relative to the amount of gifts
received during the past year and finds
that they have been given $SS,S33 in
money and 1854 books.

Judge William Penn Lyon, the ..grand
old man" of Wisconsin, former chief
justice, Civil war colonel, statesman
and institutional manager, spent Dec.
21st at the home of his nephew, David
S. Wagg, in Bangor. Judge Lyon was
en- route to his new home in California,
where he will live the remaining years
of his life. He is 81 years old, and has
been part of most of the history of
the State of Wisconsin. He was born
in Chatham, N. Y, and went to Wis
cOnsin in 1841, seven years before it was
admitted as State of the Union. He
was district attorney at Racine for four
years and was speaker of the assembly
in 1859 and 1860. He served through
the Civil war, one year as captain of
the Eighth Wisconsin regiment of in
fantry and three years as colonel OF the
Thirteenth regiment. In former years
he was accounted the greatest orator OF
the State. He was circuit judge at Ra-
cine for five years and for twenty-three
years after 1871 served as a member of
the supreme bench, being the chief JUS
tice during the last several years. His
ton of the legal literature of Wiscon-
duu w ICLl q OGOC VI 80 oVesOO Ill
terest and import was decided by the
court generally the pen of Judge Lyon
was employed for the preparation of
the opinion.
In 1894 he voluntarily retired from
the supreme bench, announcing that he
was to rest from active labors. Two
years later he was appointed member
Of the State board of control, and has
served on that body for the last six
years, being the president for the last
four years.
AS the head of the management of
the nine large Wisconsin charitable
and penal institutions Judge Lyon in
stituted many valuable changes of sys-
tenn that have saved the State tnOu-
sands of dollars and have greatly i'm
proved the service.
Had Judge Lyon come to Belfast he
would have met an old friend whom he
would be very glad to see. Hon. VIM.
c. Marshall of this city was candi-
date in 1858 against him for county
attorney of Racine county, Wisconsin.
He was the nominee of the Whig par
ty, Judge Lyon the nominee of the
Free Soil party, and Lewis Royce of
the Democratic party. Mr.. Marshall
was a yonng lawyer who had only been
in Racine two years. The Free Soil
party was then the stronger party and
Mr.. Lyon was elected, Mr.. Marshall
being his chief competitor. Judge
Lyons public career then began. He
moved from Burlington, an interior
town, to Racine and lived there many
years.

tion, SO little group of Americans be-
guiled the hours by reading Robinson
Crusoe" aloud to one another, in the
uncertain light of the swaying Ian
terms. Another man had thought
fully brought along the later book
of Mr.. J. Ross Browne, called "Cru-
SOS island" and elected unmeasurable
applause by reading now and then
how that distinguished man felt when he
first set foot upon Juan Fernandez.
Next morning all hands were on
deck to see the sun rise over the hills
of Crusoe's e'sIsland; and when the thick
vapors that shrouded them were lifted,
a scene of beauty was disclosed worth
coming far to see. Beyond the abrupt
walls of the rocks that lowered a thous-
and feet straight out of the~sea, were
mountains whose tops were bathed in
the glory of morning, their sides cover
ed with greenest verdure ana golden
| fields Of wild oats, their feet hidden in
groves of corkwood, pimento and
myrtle. Farther inland, great peaks
of reddish stone lowered to the clouds,
silvery cascades leaped down to the
ocean; and snowy foam outlined the
shore where the surf beat in measured
sWellS like the voice of a distant Mag
ara. The ravines showed flocks and
herds and cultivated fields, and in the
central valley, nestled amid blooming
orchards were the bamboo cottages
thatched with straw, in which the few
inhabitants live. There is but one
| spot in all the southern coast, which
| is the side of the island usually ap-
preached, where the rock opens wide
/ enough to admit the smallest vessel.
| This single inlet is named Cumberland
| Bay, and nearly all the rest of the shore
is totally inaccessible to man, with fear
full cliffs overhanging the water, where
wailing winds and moaning surf keep
up perpetual dirge for the thousands
of sailors who have been shipwrecked
in sight of safety. This letter is al
ready too long to admit of descrip-
ton of the island and an account of
our adventures ashore: so we defer it,
until another week.

SENATOR HALE'S POSITION.

Treaty.

He Will Vote for the Ratification of The
Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Dec 23. AS there have
been several newspaper stories repre-
senting Senator Hale as intending to
vote against the Panama canal treaty,
he was asked Wednesday afternoon if
he were willing to state what he thought
would be the fate of that treaty in the
Senate.
"Oh, | think it will be ratified" said
he, ''although | can, of course speak
for no other Senator | do not like the
situation and am afraid it will involve
us in an expensive and proftless war;
but l have seen no way, from the be
ginning, except to ratify the treaty and
make the best of it.
"Our government moved rather rap
idly and with some provision when the
lnsurrection broke out, but Colombia
was holding us up and meant to rob us
and, as we were committed to the build
ing of the canal by the United States,
and as some kind of government had
been set up in Panama, we were com
PEELED to come to terms with that gov
ernment, however quickly formed all
however unsubstantial it might be.
II doubt if the Democratic senators
can be held, as body, against the
treaty.

Col. Castle Suspended.


A Sensation in the Boston Customs House.
Boston, Dec. 23. Col. w. W. Castle,
examiner i'll the appraisers stores at
the Boston clearing house, has been
suspended in an order from Washing
ton pending an investigation of the
charges against him. Col Castle is one
of this best known men at the custom
house and is prominent member of
the G. A. Z. He is an examiner OF
metal and machinery. Although there
is no charge against his integrity, it is
SAID he has not imposed the full amount
of duty in the matter of valuations.
General Appraiser Hay OF New York
arrived here Tuesday, and Wednesday
he held hearing relative to the impor-
tation of machinery. The duty on ma
chinery is As per cent ad valorem.
While it is expected that Col. Castle
has exacted the full percentage, he has
not, it is alleged, valued the imports
sufficiently high. The hearing relative
to this matter was continued for 30
days, pending an Investigation from
across the water relative to the actual
value of the machinery.
