BEAT HER CHILD.
Mrs. Carpenter Of Chesterfield Pleads
Guilty to the Charge.

on complaint of Mrs. Powers. agent
for the Humane society, Mrs. Andrew
Carpenter of Chesterfield was brought
before Justice Slate, at Spofford town
hall last Tuesday charged with in
humanity in cruelty beating her
daughter, Flora, aged u years. Mrs.
Carpenter pleaded guilty and was
held in s100 bonds for appearance be-
fore the November term of the New
Hampshire superior court, to be held
at keene. The offense was outside
the jurisdiction of the justice court.
Evidence was introduced that the
girl had been pounded black and blue
all over her body, with a rod or some
thick and heavy stick. Her legs and
arms were laced with ridges from the
welts her skin was broken and sore
from the scars and scabs of previous
beatings. Her condition was pitiful
in the extreme.
Yet this child of a dozen years
made much resistance when Mrs.
Powers visited the place. She would
not strip for examination; she said
that there were no marks on. her body,
that she had been naughty girl and
deserved the whippings. But all
this in the presence of her mother. be
it understood. Mrs. Powers insisted,
however, for the neighbors had told
her some things about how affairs had
been going of late, and the result of
her examination is told above. Dep
uty Sheriff Butler of Chesterfield was
on hand to see that the case was fully
sifted.
The penalty for this sort of thing
as provided by the New Hampshire
laws, is 500 fine, or one years impris-
or both. In this particular
case the punishment should fit the
crime

PLANS FOR VALLEY FAIR.
18th ANNUAL MORE ATTRACTIVE
THAN EVER.
There viii Be More Exhibits Than
Heretofore and Many New Features
Will be Added.-A Herd Of Rare
Highland Cattle to be Shown.

| Every effort is making to provide
unusual attractions for the 18th an
nual Valley Fair, which will be held
this year on Sept 30th and Oct. 1st.
The officers of the association have
been busy for weeks planning for the
pleasure and enjoyment of the thous-
ands who will attend the fair, and the
list of attractions receives notable ad-
ditions every week. 1t is promised
that the fair this year will break all
previous records in the number and
variety of exhibits.
Very shortly the grounds are to be
put in prime condition and extensive
alterations and additions are to be
made to the buildings this being
necessary because the number of ex-
hibits has been so largely increased.
The executive committee of the asso-
citation is holding meetings almost ev
cry week. consulting about various
details and suggesting changes which
will add to the public interest.
Among the attractions this year
will be herd of Highland cattle
owned by Warner Van Norden,
wealthy farmer of West Chester
county. This herd is the only i'm
portation of Highland cattle of any
account ever made into this country,
and with the exception of one steer
has never been on public exhibition.
Mr. Van Norden will exhibit his herd
at the Valley Fair this year and at the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis next sum-
mer.
Mr.. Van Norden in selecting these
animals spent three months travelling
through Scotland and the Hebrides.
The cattle are a beef breed and 1t Is
claimed that their flesh is of extreme
tenderness and delicious flavor Their
most striking feature is their long
horns, which spread to great width,
and their hair which often grows to a
length of six inches or more.
George Aitkens, manager of the Bill
lings farm at Woodstock, VT, assures
the management of the fair that he
will make a large exhibit including
the noted herd of Jerseys. flocks of
poultry and pheasants This exhibit
will include some of the best individ-
ual animals of the different breeds
that can be found in this
or England The Billings
stock will be shown In tent by itself
and will be entered for exhibition only. |

Serious riots in which many were
killed and wounded, occurred yester-
day among the striking railway men
at kieff. Russia. Cossack troops
fired upon them and then charged.
Resolutions deploring the increase
of lynchings and the existence of Pc
onage in the South, and calling upon
President Roosevelt to influence Con-
gress to remedy these evils, were
adoptd at a mass meeting in New
York of colored citizens last night.
1t is announced at Rutland that Jo-
seph Murray, who was supposed to
have been killed by the cars June 10,
was murdered. His body was found
near the track and the skull was
fractured The position of the body
and location of the wound show con-
clusively that he was not hit by the
train, but struck by some assailant as
yet unknown.

THE PoPE'S CORONATION.
Rites to be Used Sunday Date Back
to 18th Century.

The coronation of Pope Plus x
will take place in st. Peters, Rome,
next Sunday. The pope must be
crowned before he can sign bills.
The rite to be used dates from the
latter part of the 14th century. As
the pope enters the church clerk
holds UP before him a reed sur
mounted by a handful of fax. This
is lighted, and as it dies out the
chaplain chants: "Pater Sancto tram
sit gloria mundi." This is done three
times The mass is then begun as
usual, but before the incensation Of
the altar. the blessing or the pontiff-
elect is pronounced by three cardinal
bishops. each of whom recites a pray
er over him.
After the collects come the three
fold supplications to God for the well
fare of the new pope.
The coronation itself takes place af-
ter the mass. The second cardinal
deacon takes off the miter, which un-
til now the pope has worn, and then
the senior cardinal deacon places the
tiara on his head and all the people
cry out "kyrie eleison."

Ii Was Not All There.

A couple of old philosophers living In
the country were one day discoursing
on mind and matter with their backs
to the fire and their faces turned to-
ward the table, which was being set
for dinner. That morning the servant
had caught a rabbit in the warren be-
longing to the master of the house and
was about TO serve it up in the form Of
stew.
"Oh, no." said one philosopher; mind
and matter cannot blend"
"Still," replied the second, "some great
intellects have thought the contrary"
THAT is an error. And, look here;
when l gaze upon this rabbit, which
only this morning thought moved and
obeyed the instincts of its kind, | can
not for a moment doubt the existence
of those two elements which enter into
the composition of every creature en-
dowed with life. No; thousand times
no! The whole rabbit Is not there"
Just then the cook entered the room.
She was observed to blush and grow
fidgety. At last she said in a trembling
voice:
You are quite right, sir. | shouldn't
have told; but, as you have guessed the
fact, | admit that il isn't the whole rab-
bit. There is a piece missing out Of the
back. which | gave to my cousin of the
twenty of the line, who arrived

The Yucatan Toe.

The toes OF civilized people have lost
much of their cunning as helpful men,
bers of the body in any work that re-
quires Skill The Maya people of Yu-
catan, however, have kept the free and
easy use of the toes in doing many
kinds of work. 1t is said that the Maya
women, who always go barefooted, will
pick up n pin from the floor as easily
with their toes as with their fingers.
An archeologist who spent some time
among that people in the interest of the
Peabody museum of Harvard univer-
sity tells the following anecdote of his
landlady at Chichen liza:
Coming into the house one day, the
American noticed that the pig had been
rash enough TO trespass upon the do
main OF the mistress OF the house The
woman was in close pursuit Of the in
truder but piggy would look in any di-
rectiOn other than toward the door.
Had she been compelled to stoop and
seize the animal with her hand the out
come of the chase might have been
doubtful. Mayan training, however,
gave her a great advantage. She reach
ed out her foot as the pig ran by, seized
him by the tail between her great toe
and the second toe, and with a graceful
swing of the leg she landed the pig
some yards beyond the threshold.
When told by the American that he
had never seen the thing done in his
own country, the Magyar woman re-
piled that it was as easily done with
the toes as with the fingers

A DowAGIAc dispatch says; "A year
from this fall there will oe something
doing in Cass county politics, as the en-
tire county ticket will be elected in full, y
Well, Cass county is not different in this
respect from other counties, and it is fair
TO presume that there will be something
doing politically all over the country
at that time. The penny-a-liner who
wired the foregoing interesting piece of
news to the state papers adds, "Not only
that, but the term of Judge Carr will eX-
pire at that time and someone must be
elected in his place. Opposed to Judge
Carr are various candidates. The most
avowed of these is eX-Judge Harsen ID,
Smith" 1t will be news to Judge Carr
to learn that his term expires in the fall
of 1904 and that his successor is to be
elected at that time. Doubtless he has
been laboring under the impression that
he would hold his present position un-
til January l, 1906, and that his success
sor would be chosen at the April cleo
ton in 1905. When the time comes to
select a candidate to succeed Judge
Carr, it is not at all likely the "doings"
will be especially confined to Cass
county. Van Buren, is still the major
portion of the Both judicial circuit.

The wonderful revival of interest in
lawn tennis is one of the most signifi-
cant features of American outdoor life
today. The seven thousand people who
watched the championship games at Bay
Ridge last year made a bigger crowd
than any country ever knew even in the
days when tennis was fad. Tennis is
coming into its own. There is every
reason why tennis should be popular. 1t
costs less than many games; it takes less
time; it requires few players; there is no
danger in it, it exercises the whole body

cally: both sexes can play it, and finally,
