VESSELS RE.MEASURED.
Deputy Surveyor Finds This Govern
rent Has Been Cheated.

San Francisco. Feb. 5.-The work Oc
the deputy surveyor of this port in
measuring the French vessels in the
harbor has shown that all the ships
have been, undermeasured and the
government has thereby been cheated
out of its just dues in pilot fees and
doCkage and custom tolls. This gov
ernment has in the past, permitted
French vessels to register their tom
mage according to their own measure
ment. but q recent order has been re-
ceived from Washington by which
French Ships are to be placed on the
same basis as the American vessels.
Ten vessels flying the French flag have
been measured and in every instance
it has been found that the net tOnnOge
mas been increased under the laws OF
this country.

Must Plant Only Good Seed.

AS the time for planting garden and
field crops approaches it is necessary to
emphasize the importance of planting
good seeds. Some persons have con-
sidered tha. if they buy small seeds of
any kind they have saved money. as
there are more of the smaller seeds in
a given quantity. This is not true,
however. for it has been demonstrated
number of times that the larger,
plGmrer seeds are better in every way.
The Minnesota experiment station by
repeated tests has demonstrated that
radish seed. for instance. which is large
and plump will not only germinate
better and more quickly. but that the
roots which are grown. will be larger
and better in every way. 1t has been
found, too. that many seedsmen pass
certain kinds of seeds through screens,
selling the larger ones 1T an advanced
price, but the tests which have been
made show that one is warranted in
paying tins increased price.
The Geneva IN. " experiment
station is growing Seeding grapes and
other fruits. seeking to improve varie-
| ties. 1t has been found in the test that
| in practically every case the larger
| seeds not only germinate to a greater
| extent, but the seedlings which are
grown are more vigorous and grow
| much better. 1t has also been found
that seeds from large grapes produce
stronger and more thrifty seedlings
than seeds of the same variety from
smaller berries. This is an important
matter to one who seeks to grow
Seeding fruits. for it enables one to
| Sa1acf in 1dv.,npp those Goods which
| will be likely to produce best results.
In buying seeds this spring. there
| fore. don't try to economic by buying
| inferior seeds because they are cheap
simply for the reason that they are not
| cheap.

"Boston Shorty." Supposed to BE Dead
il Saco Affair.

Portland, Ne, Feb. 5.-The police
were notified, today. that James
Arnold, alias Joseph Bradley. often
called "Boston Shorty" for whom they
have searched in connection with the
alleged murder CT fellow burglar mas
Just arrived at the State prison for a

fore he died, Thompson accused
Arnold of having shot him. following
burglary i'll which the two were en-

CHANDLER WILL CONTEST.
Petition Filed That Testament of 1897
Be Allowed.

Portland. Me-, Feb. 5.-Thursday.
Seth L. Larrabee, local counsel for the
American Board of Foreign Missions,
filed in THEY Cumberland probate court
a petition bat the will which the late
solomon II. Chandler of New Glouces-
ter made in 1897. be allowed.
MI. Chandler made three wills. all of
Wnich We're filed in the probate court a
month ago. The first, written in 1850
pequeathed his entire estate. now esti-
mated at from $S0O,0 to 5000. 900. to
the American Board of Foreign Mis-
slors. March 10, 1896, a new will was
oraWn up and signed. 1t gave the es-
tate to the American Board and de-
hned how it should be used in foreign
mission work.
10 this will codicil was added, Aug.
D. l9o2, altering the provisions so that
nalt the estate should go to missions
and the other half to be distributed
among five legatees: His brothers
WIDOW, Mrs. Catherine c. Chandler of
New Gloucester and his nephews, An
dfew G., Charles p, Fred II. and Ro-
iahd Z. Chandler, all of New Glouces-
ter.
1t was this will and codicil which
counsel for the legatees petitioned to
nave probated. last month. The Amer
ican Board petitions for the probating
OF fourth will made in 1897, which
ioilows practically the same form as
the document of 1895. without the codi-
Gil. 1t makes difference of about
s4oo,oo0 to the board whether the 1896
VIII ana codicil or the 1897 will is al a.
lowed to stand. The former will named
John II. Card. Andrew c. Chandler and
Lyman NJ. CouSens as executors. The
viii which the American Board prefers
nominates Lyman NJ. Cousens and
Henry Z. Cox rs executors
AS both sides are desirous of an early
adjudication. it is believed that haste
will be made in the Introductory for
maiities. and Il trial reached at the
April term of the supreme court.

ing in behind the grist mill of Crummct

succeeded in inhicting only what is not

in his left breast. The doctors We're not
able to locate the bullet. but think it is

lOad-five-and then went in behind the
Crist mill and fired at his left breast in
tending probably to hit the heart. His
aim was a little high. however. so that
the bullet landed in the muscles of the

After firing the shot he created consid-

lie was then taken to the home of his

1t is understood that the cause of the
