made certain that reptiles and amphi-

though it be SO far away that no sense
known to man can detect it, The new

THEATRE CAT WAS SKEPTICAL.
Refused to Believe That Desdomona ct
at Were Dead.

The theater cat is always Obtruding
its presence on the stage when it is
least wanted, but the feline which
keeps ChaSc'S treater free of rats has q
particularly erroneous idea of the
eternal fitness Of things. 1t was when
the stock company was playing
"Othello" that the cat rendered itself
conspicuous. and, therefore. greatly
disliked by its friends. the actors.
DeSdemona was dead and all the
other characters were dead that could
conveniently die and We're stretched on
the stage iii various post-mortem atti-
tudes when the theater cat suddenly
made her way daintily upon the stage.
She paused at the first PROSTATE body
she came to and apparently said to
herself, "Ha. how is this?" Then she
looked at the body hard and went up
and shifted delicately at its face to see
if she could render any assistance.
The body opened one eye and emitted
something very like Il giggle; so the cat
WIT on. No first aid to the wounded
was needed there, at any rate. The
next body was also SuSpic ously warm
and smiling.
1t did seem to this theatrical cat is IL
grown humans ought to be able to find
something better to do than to lie rigid
ly on a drafty floor while a man held
the center of the stage and talked. The
cat moved on to another body and was
just about to nibble the ear OF this one
in n spirit of sportivenesS-for it was
breathing, tOO-when someone said
something in n hoarse whisper and the
curtain went down amid a chorus of
laughs.
1t was then that the innocent and
would-be helpful theater cat was
chased all over the stage-the bodies
helping in the chasing-was caught and
held i'll much too fond an embrace and
was finally taken and locked up in a
dark place where it had space to medi-
tate on the ingratitude of man. And
upstairs the play went merrily on, if a
tragedy may be said to go merrily.-

Miss Walker. Damariscotta, Refuses
to Talk Of Page Murder.

RockIanJ, Me. June 23.-The Star
says
That there is to ba n big defence on
the Mabel Page murder case is certain
and the leading witness. outside OF
Charles l.. Tucker himself is Mabel
Walker Of Damariscotta. The Page
murder is one of New England's un-
solved mysteries and the unenviable
notoriety attained by Mabel Walker Of
Damariscotta. who made the unfortu-
nate acquaintance Of Tucker on the
fatal afternoon in Weston. Mass. is
not relished a bit by the young lady.
4 Star representative had two
hours interview with Mabel Walker at
her home in Damariscotta, yesterday
afternoon.
1t has been said that she can shed
light upon the dark mystery. From the
talk with her it is evident that Miss
Walker is not Illuminating anything.
Evidently she does not propose to tell
ANYTHING she knows. The state police,
who saw her shortly after fuckers ar
rest. say that her testimony is not of
much importance except in fixing the
minute ana nour she met 4 uChcl oii
the fatal afternoon.
Miss Tucker. who is pretty girl of
10. went from Damaciscotta to Auburn
dale to visit relatives and met Tucker
who lived near her relatives.
Testimony of others says that she
was riding with cousin, near the Page
house and that Tucker. now indicted
for the murder of Mabel Page. got into
| the cart and later both went for Il
stroll. On the day that Tucker was
arrested Mabel Walker left Boston for
her home in Maine. Since that time
she has been questioned by the state
! police of Massachusetts and others in

Boston. June 23.-An order restrain
ing the Marblehead savings bank of
Mablehead from paying or receiving
deposits, was issued by Justice Barker,
Thursday. in the Massachusetts
supreme judicial court The action was
taken on petition of the state savings
bank commissioners who alleged that
the condition of the bank was unsafe
The commissioners state that the
bank has sustained heavy losses dur
ing the pat two year. There have been
losses in loans and the bank has a
large amount of fOreclOsed real estate.
Other shrinkaeeS had swelled the ag-
gregate loss until it exceeded the sur
plus.
During the past few months depOs-
itorS have withdrawn their money
quite freely and the situation became
So acute that the commissioners decid-
cd that it was hazardous to depOSitOrs'
to allow the institution to pay out
funds. The bank has many good in
vestments and within the next two
years. the commissioners believe. that
affairs will be in u much better con-
,lition and that payments can be re-
The savings bank commissioners lat
or gave out the following statement:
During the last two years the in
stitution has met with large losses
arising from unfortunate Investments
in loans on personal security. 1t also
has a large amount of real estate by
foreclosure which will involve more or
less loss upon it's sale and also some
smaller losses in other channel Of in
VeStmnnt. the aggregate of which ex-
ceendS the total available surplus of
the institution.
During the past few months there
nave been heavy drafts upon the in
ctitution aggregating over 100000. and
it is deemed hest for the interest Of
depnSitors that the affairs Of the in
Stitution should be temporarily enjOin-
| ed. 1t is felt that within the next few
years the accumulation of earnings
will be sufficient to meet all these loss
IS and enable the bank ut the end of
that time to resume it's business in 4

authority. No newspaper reporter was
permitted to see her at her home with
Mr.. and Mrs. \. Carnage in Damaris-
| Gotta until yesterday.
This enigmatical young lady whose
unfortunate acquaintance with Tucker
| has brought her into such unenviabla
! notoriety, had nothing to say to oues-
tions yesterday, answering all by the
| categorical answer: It's none of your
business" She did not deny, however
that on the evening of the day of the
murder of Mabel Page-the dav she
| met Tucker-that she had written a
| girl friend in Damariscotta telling her
| of meeting Tucker that afternoon. 1t
vas girlish letter and clearly proves
that she had no intimation of the
charge alleged against him.
| 1t is claimed that Miss Walker can.
| if she will. clear Tucker by her testi-
| mony. From q two hours conversation
| with her yesterday it does not appear
that she is interested in the outcome
of the Tucker case. Reference to the
case and to her acquaintance with
Tucker only elicits the reply: Its
none Of your business"
| This sphinx-like young lady clearly
avoided all references to the Tucker
case. She said that the press had ma
| liGned her. They even found my
brother WILL" she said smilingly
| "whom | have not heard from since
| he went to Utah in 1902. 1t is said that
| I met him in Boston and told Of the
| Page case before I left for Maine.
| have not heard from brother Will since
my fathers death. / trust that they
| can find him. l have not seen him
| since"
| Asked if in case of liff or death She
| would go to the trial of Tucker in Sep
! tember to testify she replied: It's
| none of the public's business" Miss
| Walker will not be in Maine when the
| trial comes off. She intimated n s much
| in her talk, saying that she was going
| south. Damariscotta was too dull, she
| said.
| 1T was said in that town, yesterday.
| that when the Tucker hearing was in
| progress that she was in Rockland
| with relatives. She cannot be compelled
| to testify as a resident of this state in
| this crime charge but the general opn-
| ion is that this young lady who has
| been pushed into the lime light has
in the company of Charles l.. Tucker
| a few minutes after the hour at which
the experts say that Mabel Page was
murdered in her room at her home at

GOOD WHISKEY
 TURNED INTO GUTTER.

By order of the court about $2OO worth of whiskey. wine and beer was turned loose in Harrison avenue this morning. A few people looked on and all thought 1t bad to see such wilful waste, but the powers that be had said the word and no power on earth, 1t seems, could have saved the stuff from paying the penalty. Every body that had anything to do with it admitted 1t was too bad that it could not be turned over to the department of charities. but that was something the limbs of the law had nothing to do with. Superintendent Doran of the town poor called at the station and said a good word in favor of com muting the sentence to Imprisonment in the stomachs of the sick at the Brookside home and among the out side poor, but all his pleadings availed naught.

Rockville, March 21-. William Make, the oldest German resident of this place, committed suicide early to- day by hanging. Make who was IS years old, had been staying at the home of his daughter Mrs John Turn CT. This morning he left his room and going down stairs returned with a underclothing and after putting on new clothes and shaving himself he went to the yard in, the rear of the house. Here his body was found by his daughter about a. m., hanging from the grape arbor which is situated just back of the house. The body was still warm. Make bad been i'll with pneumonia for the past several weeks and was just convalescent. pr Rock well the medical examiner after view ing the body ordered that it be cut down, and gave his opinion that death was caused by suicide brought on by mental dispondency.

MUCH LAWLESSNESS.
President Schurman's Sensational
 Address at New Rochelle.

New York, March 21.-In a public address at New Rochelle President J.. G. Schurman of Cornell university has discussed what he considers the true elements of national greatness, and expressed the belief that, so far as physical power is concerned, OUT na- tion leaves almost nothing to be de sired. In regard to our respect for law and our regard for the rights of others, however, he said:
 There has been in the last few years more lawlessness than those liv- ing in the present generation can re- member. Lynching seems to go on apace. There are reasons given for this, as matter of course. Some say that it is because our children are not taught religion in the schools; others that it is due to the great immigration to our shores. To me there seems to be an entirely different reason for it. 1t is due, I think, to certain amount of race depreciation, I will not say race hatred, which somehow seems to be still very potenf in our blood. We still talk great deal of the superiority of the white race. With an excess of passion we still talk of the inferiority of the people with dark skins. It ap- pears that the tiger is still in our blood, and woe to the man who stirs him up
 ''We seem already to have forgotten some Of the great principles for which our fathers died, and we have been compelled to hear in the last few min utes derisive remarks about the con stitution."

EARTH SHOOK.
Earthquake Shock Early This Morning Felt in all
 New England.

Boston, March 21.-Reports from various parts of New England received to-day indicate that this mornings earthquake shock was felt in nearly all sections of New England and the marine provinces. The extent and severity of the disturbance is said by astronomers to show that it was the most remarkable in 20 years.
 The motion of the earth was most violent apparently in eastern Maine, where from three to seven distinct shocks were felt. Bar Harbor noted seven shocks of violence sufficient to cause the fire alarm bells to strike several times. Calais, Me, reported that buildings were rocked so as to shake pictures from the walls. From this point to Hartford, Conn, includ- ing all parts of New Hampshire and Vermont as well as Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the trembling of tIe earth was noted. At Harvard. observa- tory only one shock was noted. It was timed at 1:04: or a. rn., and lasted three seconds. The direction of the earth's movement was not recorded by the in struments. Prof E. c. Pickering. head of the observatory, with corps of as- sistants are studying the phenomenon to-day.
