A short time ago as a part of series
of attacks upon General Leopard
Wood, the New York Post stated that
Gen. Leonard Wood had inspired an
article in the North American Review
for February, 1900, written by Lieut..
James f. Runcie, and attacking Wood
predecessor, General Brooke. 1t was
added that there We're in the manu-
script interlineations in the handWrit-
ing of General Wood. In making this
assertion. the Post says that it de-
pended not alone upon it's Havana cor
respondent and also upon an explicit
statement made by one in authority in
the office of the Review. But the Post
now finds that it was unintentionally
misinformed. and that the article in
question was not interlined by General
Wood. 1t accordingly WithdraWs the
charge unqualifiedly, with sincere
apologies to General Wood, and an
nounces that its Havana correspondent
is discharged. Thus another attack on
that wonderfully able administrator,
General Wood. falls flat. 1t will be
impossible for his enemies to discredit
| his splendid services in Cuba.

In southern Tennessee the negro
driver of rural free delivery route has
been held up and inundated by
masked white men. The government
has promptly suspended the route and
il will not be resumed until that COM
munity approaches nearer civilization.
1t is a parallel case to the Indianola,
Mississippi, postoffice which has been
discontinued because the patrons OBJ
jected to the postmistress, basing their
objection solely on the color of her
skin. Uncle Sam has the whip hand
in such cases and if his servants can
not be treated with decency in certain
communities. then it is an easy matter
to deprive those communities of their
postal facilities. The negro carrier on
the Tennessee route had won the high
est rank in the examination under
Civil Service rules, and there is every
reason to believe that he is a more in
teliigent man and a better citizen in
all respects than the coWardly white
scalaWags who held him up.

From some sections there are re-
ports of extensive building operations,
this spring, but it is evident that IN
general through New England there is
much less building being done than
there was last year and the year be-
fore. The total value of contracts
awarded on new building and engineer
ing enterprises throughout New Eng
land for last week, as compiled by the
F. w. Dodge Company of Boston, APP
proximates $2,O89.0O0 as against $4,-
O34,OOO for the corresponding week
last year, making a total of $29,003,O00
to date this year, as against $59,714,OOO
for the corresponding period in 1902
and $37, 727, 900 in 1901.

Approaching the fact that the gen.
eral tendency of wages is upward,
these times. King Edward VII. puts IN
a demand for an increase. He doesn't
threaten to strike if it is not granted
hut as it is only a modest little matter
of $150,O00 more each year, no doubt
the British people will cheerfully grant
it. 1t will make the tidy total OF
s.. 500, 900, each year, which Edward
gets in his pay envelope. No doubt,
there are a number of good men who
would take the job at a smaller salary.
and scab kings have small chance
of employment in modern times.

The Italian government is still FUN
ing a little because it cannot get ade-
Quate satisfaction for the lynching of
several Italian laborers in Mississippi,
a few years ago. OF course, lynching
is an outrage which cannot be excused
and the guilt of it sadly stains the
skirts Of several of our states, but Italy
should realize that the foulest scum of
it's civilization finds it's way to our
shores. Moreover, it's infamous crimi-
nal society. the Malta, is something
with which it seems as powerless to deal
as this country is with the lynching
problem. 1t is the Malta which Italy
has bestowed upon this country, along
with class of immigrants which is a
perpetual grievance, and that has been
the root of numerous crimes in this
country.

The advice of the local Board of
Health as regards vaccination should
be promptly and generally needed
throughout the city. While there is
no smallpox epidemic and only
u very small possibility of any,
there are nevertheless several cases
in the city and it is an occasion
when an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound Of cure. Between typhoid and
scarlet fever. Augusta has had enough
of epidemics for time, and the safe
guard Of vaccination is a simple and
inexpensive precaution which our peo-
pie, whatever their age or class or ma
tionality. should not hesitate to take.
The recommendation of the Board of
Health Is for the best interests of the
city.

Franklin county had a sensational
experience last week. with an alleged
scion of English nobility. He said his
name was Chester and he was brought
from Rangeey to the Pennington
municipal court on the plebian charge
Of being drunk and disorderly. Ches-
tcrs arrest was attended with con-
siderable difficulty as he is large,
bury man, over six feet in height and
built accordingly. When questioned in
court he said he was an English barrs-
ter Of the middle temple. He prOfessed
to be deeply Disguised with his con-
duct en- the night before and gave the
Judge his word of honor as a gentle
man. that the offense would not be re-
poated. His honor thought. he said, of
giving the man 30 days in Jail, but as
this was the first offensc he finally de-
cded to let him off easy, only filming
chester $25. which barely covered the
costs Chester gave a check which he
drew from check book in his posses
sion in payment of the fine and left his
watch with the officer till the value of
the check was established. The watch,
he claimed. cost $500. 1t was made by
a London firm and had coat of arms
engraved on the back. During the af-
fray At Rangcley, Chester claims he
lost or had stolen from him a fountain
pen worth s.. an eighteen carat gold
ring, also cmbclishcd With his coat of

\ young woman, who is quite an eE-
pert horse woman and who drives into
the city of Ellsworth every morning,
putting her horse up in private stable,
kad rather a queer experience recently.
The horse got loose in the stable and
although he had been fed his usual IA
tons was pOking around and found III
the carriage some family supplies
which she mad purchased and which
included the following: One-haf pound
of tea, one package Of golatine, three
pounds graham -four, one quart stock
Good, of which one teaspoonfuI is usually
given at time, one package of peas,
one package of sweet peas and one
pounds of clover seed. The horse de-
vourcd all these articles even to the
paper in which they were wrapped. The
young woman feeling anxious for the
health of her horse after partaking of
such varied refreshments, consulted
we'll known horseman of Ellsworth
who told her that in his opinion moth
ing would kill such horse, rs he evil
IDENTIFY had Q stomach that would stand
everything excepting nitrO-G lYcerinc.
A prominent Portland I"Wypr says
that he net with q queer character in
the course of an investigation he was
making. He said that a Cumberland
county man lost his wife, and erected
a good heldstone at her grave. Later
he remarked, and last year his father
and mother died. He went to the loca!
cemetery, took the headstone from the
grave of his Wife, carried it home and
cut Off the lettering and raised work.
Il thought" he said, that my wife
could get along better without head
stone than the old folks could and
| could make one stone DO for both of
them This is no joke said the law
yer. THAT man had Il dispute with
mis- brother concerning the property
left by their father, and this story came
out in the course of our preliminary in
vestigation. He is Il thoroughly queer
character. and in view of this head
stone incident, has. l think, right to
claim to be the champion mean man of
Maine"
