in which the deceased was held.
Mrs. Luella Jane Carter died at her home
on Northport avenue, July 3Oth, at the age
of GA years, months and 90 days. She was
born on the same farm on which she died

Carter of Searsport, Walter H. Carter Of
Chelsea, Mass, Alderman Prescott d. H.
Carter of Belfast, Lulu H., wife of Isaac S.
Hills of Northport, and Miss Blanche G..
Carter of Belfast. She was the last of her
fathers family to be called away. The 9TH
ers were Prescott D. Kinds, who fell in the
Rebellion, Mrs. Angela Crabtree and Mrs
Celia Hubbard. Mrs. Carter was possessed
of very generous impulses, and no poor or
needy person ever went empty from her
door. The funeral was held at her late
home Saturday afternoon, Rev. G. E. Edgett
officiating. The bearers were Messrs. How

as remarkable memory as any
one born under the stars and stripes
and il was one which he was fond

this he meant that it had had no

King Edward VII. But he, too,
was always glad to acknowledge
his many debts of gratitude to
this source.

SOME GREAT mEmoRIEs.

Many Noted Men in History Had
This Gift.
To possess an excellent memory
proves sometimes as goodly heri
tage as fortune. The one may be
lost in spite of care, while the 9th
er, if properly regarded, will con
tinue to aid and abet man throu
ghout his existence. The feasible,
ness of cultivating good memory
if merely as an act of policy. is well
exemplified by several notable men
who have lived in public gaze.
King Edward VII would, if ap.
preached on the subject, doubtless
lay a good portion of his popular
ity with the masses at the door of
his wonderful memory. Hardly is
it believed that another could be
found to match it in the present
day. The King never forgets a
facs, nor name, and both he as
sociates in his mind with some con.

ever is presented to him, no matter
how great or how humble person.
age, or under what crowded, chang
log surroundings, he has it in his
power to recall years afterward and
to relate the circumstances attend
ing the presentation. Many of his
SUBJECTS have amusing stories to
tell of their surprise, amounting
almost to terror at times, when, as
Prince of Wales, he would sudden
ly turn amid some tumultuous
throng and call one of number
by name. Not to feel fiattered at
such mark of favor would be
more than human, and as surely as
the deed was done the King added
to his following.
When his nephew, the Emperor
of Germany. the same training in
this respect was pursued through
out childhood and youth. The
Kaiser's memory in Germany is
held in reyerential awe. To a few,
however, it is known that h. some.
times pulls through trying ordeals
by leaning strongly on his reputa
ton.
Recently at large official din.
ner given in Berlin by the medical
staff it was fayorably remarked that
the Kaiser spoke with all those
present on the particular branches
of medicine in which they were re-
spectively interested. With each
man he discussed his writings and
pet theories, dwelling on the point
that marked him from his brothers
To do such thing it was thought
required not only an immense
amount of serious reading on the
subject of medicine, but most ex-
traordinary memory. 1t was rath-
er a denoument. therefore. when a
young physician, not willing to
have his thunder stolen, gave the
fact out rather broadly that twenty
minutes before dinner he had been
summoned to the Ksiser's pres-
ence. and had then given in synop-

The old.fashioned American
idea was that at least SO far as the
Presidency of the United States is
concerned it is a very becoming,
fit and dignified thing to let the
office seek the man rather THAI
that the man should seek the
office. But look at this accidental
President. Roosevelt, spending
months in an electioneering tour
while drawing every day of the
year over $130 salary from the
public treasury, and, instead of
devoting himself to the dis
charge of the duties of one of
the most important offices on
earth spending his best energies
to secure a nomination to the high
office to which he has never yet
been nominated and all this with
the nominating convention more
than twelve months in the future,
and the election seventeen months
in the future.

York Speaks His Mind Freely:
One of the fearless men of New

influence in it's political and judi.
oial history in the past few years
is District Attorney jerome, who
has borne the deserved reputation
of wearing no muzzle and of speak
ing out at all times what he
thought to be in the interest of the
whole people despite what the
politicians of that great city had
to say.
Last night in speech before
the New York Credit Mems AS.
sociation he took up the criminal
bench" of this country and told
some truths that most lawyers have
been afraid to utter in public. He
first dwelt with the difficulties of
the enforcement of laws against
commercial crimes because of the
stringent laws of evidence, and
then he dealt the bench blow
that will have its effect. He re-
marked in part:
81 have always been opposed to
an elective judiciary, and wherev-
er that system prevails there is al
ways depreciation in integrity
Our federal judiciary committees
are with that of England. OF
course there are men of recognized
ability on the criminal bench, but
there sits no judge in our criminal
courts to-day who the lawyers of
New York City would selected to
place there. Here we get the top
sy-turvy judges in our criminal
courts staying the actions of the
district attorney in criminal case
panding suit in civil court which
is disposed of or settlement is af
fected. You may get together
with bunch of lawyers and then
hear things about our judiciar,
that would bring the blush of
shame to the face of any upright
Citizen"
West Virginia has been opposed
upon and the country districts of
the state are said to suffer more on
account of the inefficiency of its
criminal judges than those in the
cities. Some of the most notori
ously illiterate "pettifuggers" in
in the state have set upon the
criminal bench-men who have
passed the examination in years
past, when it was no hard task to
secure a sheepskin, and who
through their dexterity as politi-
oians, have been able to secure an
election to the judiciary. Attor-
neys have wondered at it and have
been disguised time and time again
but they are powerless while the
elective system is in vogue. Yet if
