SKOWHEGAN.

a rather amusing incident occurred
in the court room, Tuesday afternoon.
The jury in the case of Cooley vs..
Noyce had returned u verdict in the
morning for the defendant" The
plaintiff and his counsel had resolved
to grin and bear it, as all must who
get the small end Of the horn in lew
suit. Somehow or other. however, it
came to the ears Of the plaintiffs law
yer that a juryman had made the
statement that verdict was
returned in favor of Cooley. Fol-
lowing it up. he learned that this
was really the intention Of the jury.
Smiles went the rounds when the jury
told the court, at the request of the
plaintiff s attorney, that mistake in
the terms had been made and that the
intention had been to return a verdict
for Cooley rather than for Noyce. The
smiles broadened when the court or
dered that the verdict be set aside.

delegates to the next national conven-
ton met, today. James L. Norris and
Charles w. Slater, leaders of the rival
local factions of the party. were pres
ent.
Senator Blackburn, as counsel for

fed that action. Mr.. Norris said that
because of the failure to determine the
membership issue the district Demo-
cratic organization had been without
a head for four years.

ARooSTOOk POTATOES.
Disappearance Of Three Bags Causes
Trouble for M. c. Man.

The Aroostook potatoes that are
passing through the Maine Central
yard here in such quantities at this
season of the year seem to have a
great temptation for some of the en-
ployes of the road, for twice now with
in about a year some of them have
been hailed before the court on the
charge of stealing them from cars in
the yard.
On complaint of F. E. Sanborn, as
sistant superintendent, Fred Roderick
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Colby
Getchell, yesterday. on the charge of
the larceny of three bags of these po-
tatoes. He was given a hearing before
Judge Shaw in the municipal court and
was found guilty and sentenced to
pay the costs. He was represented by
Fred w. Clair while Hon. c. F. john

CUSTOMS DUTY.
Goods for Educational Institutions Will
Be Exempt Except Furniture.

New York. Jan. 13-By a decision of
the United States general appraisers.
the privilege of entry free of duty has
been extended to practically every
thing imported in good faith on the
order and for the use of any educa-
tional institution except ordinary fur
niture. The decision sustains eight
protests made by Chicago firm on the
assessment Of various rates of duty
on variety Of articles imported for
the use of schools and colleges. The
firm claimed free entry for the arti-
cles under n disputed provision of the
tariff law.
In it's opinion the board lays down
the rule that it is the duty of the GUS
toms officers to ascertain first whether
or not an article has been imported
on good faith on an order and for the
use of an educational institution, and
not for sale. and this being established
to exercise the most generous liberal
ity in determining what articles are
entitled to free entry. The collector
is not to admit ordinary furniture and
equipment which is used alike in
schools and commercial houses but any
thing which can fairly be classified az
used in scientific or educational work.
