put different phase OH the case of
Mrs. Maybrcik, recently released by
the British government, after serving
a long term in prison for poisoning
her husband
1t will be remembered that the
agitation which resulted in the release
of Mrs Maybrick was largely due to
alettter written to Ambassador Choate
some two yeas ago by Mr. Hay den, OF
Hayden e. Yarrell, of Washington, in
which it was charged that Davis W.
Armstrong had, by misrepresenta'i ion.
induced Mrs. Maybrick and her
mother, Baroness Won Roques, to con-
vey to him their rights in land in Vir-
ginia, Kentuckey, and West Virginia,
valued at 81, 800, 600, which, it was
claimed, We're afterward sold by him
for sum which Melted a profit of
$500, 000 Armstrong was attorney for
Mrs Mayhrick and the baroness. A
suit was filed in the Chancery court
August /, 1908, to restrain Armstrong
from going further in the sale of
property. This suit was dismissed
from the docket, but was reinstated
at the request of Judge l.. ID. Yarrell,
of Hayden & Yarrell, when it became
apparent that Mrs. Maybrick would
be released.

SWEEPING DENIAL.

The papers filled contain total de-
NAL by Armstrong of the allegations
of Mrs. MAVERICK and her mother.
The answer contains forty-fve type
written pages, and is to the effect that
Mrs. May bricks alleged vast inheri-
rance is much in the nature of myth,
as is also the reputed affection exist
ing betwee the Baroness Won Roques
and her daughter.
The answer, upon its face, appeals
TO give rise to two pincipal questions,
the.frst Of the questions being as ITO
whether the estate of Mrs. May brick,
of which so much has been heard. in
connection with the agitation for her
release is myth or has an actual and
substantial existence. and the second
question being as to whether, apart
from what the fact may be as to Mrs.
Maybrick s'interest, the transaction be-
tween Armstrong and Madame Won
Roques was characterized bv misrepre-
sentation on his part
After going into the matter at great
length, the answer quotes from letters
written by the baroness to show that
ner relations with Mr.. and Mrs. MAY.
brick were not at all friendly.
There will be no action for the pres
ent on this matter 1t is likely, how
ever that the presence of Mrs. May.
brick and her mother will be necessary
when the case is called.

In sitting women are guilty of a
number Of sins of aWkwardness. The
stout woman. for example. invariably
sits squarcly with feet planted about
twelve inches apart and her toes turned
out.
The lean, long legged woman, on Ia,
other hand. winds her feet round the
legs OF her chair or else crosses her
legs and thrusts her feet out in front
of her.
Now, the stout woman should "poise"
herself and sit very erect The lean
woman should choose the highest pos
Bibe seat and plant her feet firmly on
the ground, thus reducing her excess

The small woman also does some pc

Mr.. Gould for Governor.

The Watervlle Sentinel Of Tuesday is
authority for the statement that Hon.
Cyrus w. Davis Of that city is not a cam
didate for the Democratic nomination for
Governor aud that he believes the nomi-
nation should go to Hon. Samuel w.
Gould of Skowhegan; in which view
Somerset Democrats will heartily con-
cur.
The Sentinel quotes Mr. Gould in an
interview as follows:
When asked il he was a candidate
for denomination, Mr.. Gould said that
that was a matter for the State conVen-
ton TO decide; but that if he were called
to assume the responsibilities of being
his pattY's standard bearer In the coming
gubernatorial campaign he would con-
slider it as a summons to duty. Should
he decline to look with favor upon a
nomination for second time, said Mr..
Gould, he would feel rs If he was un-
mindful of the great honor bestowed
upon him in 1902, and would indicate
that he failed to appreci .te the kindness
of his Democratic friends in Maine who
have given him their support in the past.
"lf am again placed in nomination
for the high Office of governor of nv
native State said Mr.. Gould, 81 shall
enter the contest with a determination
to make a more vigorous and active cam
paign than l vas able to do two years
ago | believe the whole trend OF politi-
cal sentiment is leaning toward the
Democratic party, not only in the coun-
try at large but also in the State OF
Maine. For this reason | believe that
the Democrats of this State, with II
thorough and energetic canvass, with "a
united and harmonious action and with
an effort worthy of the cause can, in the
campaign Of this year roll up an old
time vote for governor and all the county
officers.
Should the nomination be given me /
shall do All in my power 10 bring victory

The Action of Light and Air Is What

The fastness Of color depends On the

the formation Of small quantities OF
ozone and hydrogen peroxide, especial

always to be found in all ordinary ma

These two substances are powerful
oxidizing agents, readily giving up a
portion Of the oxygen contained in
them, and this combines with or oXi-
dies the coloring matter, forming a
body closely allied TO it, hut which IS
less intensely colored, and In some
cases. if the action is carried far
enough, the color is entirely destroyed.
The chemical effects Of the different
colored rays vary greatly. Red. yell

Cenaure For Ohiccr Who saved

4 Jealous young officer In South At
rica who had a knowledge and love sf
farming made his men collect oats
which fell lavishly by the wayside as
column after column carrying out hay
passed up country. lie plowed some
land. sowed lis oats and eventually
reaped his harvest. This harvest,
which was heavy one, saved the
country at least f. 600 But when his
accounts were sent home the officials
at the war office could not understand
how they had come by something for
nothing. Such a thing had never hap
pened before. They impugned his mo
tives and accounts, and the least of the
charges brought against him In long
corresnondence was that he had looted
the oats. Months passed, and still the
young officer had not been able to
convince the war office that he WAS
honest Then a well known general in
tervened and testified that he himself
had watched the experiment In farm
ing by which the country had been
saved considerable sum of money.
AT last the war office ended the CORE
spondence. Nothing that had been in
situated WAS withdrawn. although
nothing WAS pressed further. The Off

being in effect severe censure.-Man-
