Special Washington Core.
SpOndenCe.

Wellington, d. C.. Jan. 2, 1904
The Hon. Jesse 0verstreet, of In
diana, is member Of Congress from
that state, is the Secretary Of tn,
Rep lblicsn Congressional Commute,
and is the chairman OF the Hous,
Commute on Post Offices and Posi-
Roads. To this committee has beef
referred the recent report OF thu
Fourth Assistant Postmastr Gener
eral, Bristow, on the grating and
looting in the Post Office Depart
ment. In that report the Fourth
Assistant p NJ G. inveigbs strongly
against the game Of graft by men in
high places in which they have the
allowance Of some obscure post office
Increased several hundred dollars a
year and then place some iavorite
in that office to draw as a salary the
increased allowance for the Office.
In now transpires that the Hon.
Jesse Overstreet, whose committee
has been charged with the work Of
inspecting Bristow's report, and re
porting to the House of Representa-
tives on the same, has been guilty If
exactly the same offense that Bris.
tow condemns 80 earnestly in his re.
port. He got the allowance Of some
small post Office in the state OF In
diana increased, and then sent a
young lady who had been acting as
his secretary to draw the salary thus
created by the allowance.
1t will thus be seen how sincere is
the attempt OF the republicans to
bring any OF the offenders to justice
when they place the report Of the in.
vestigation in the hands OF man
who is guilty OF the same offense as
Others developed in the investiga-
ton.
Until there is democratic admin
istration the people need not expect
anything to come from this investi
cation OF rottenness in the Post o.
fee Department. Every move on the
part OF the republicans is merely q
bluff to hoodwink the people Of the
nation. 1t lie up to the people to
move in the matter.

A PLOT TO WRECK SHIPS.
A Story from Philadelphia De-
MED by Admiral 0'NeiII.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Admira
O'Neill, chief OF the bureau or ordi
nance, has had his attention calleC
to dispatch emanating from Phila
delphia giving the details ofan alleg
ed plot OF anarchists to blow up the
big guns OF warships OF the American
navy by tampering with proiectiles
turned out by the Midvale Steel
works, at Nieetown.
The plot is said to have been dis,
covered by the explosion Of pro-
iectie in the company 8 works, which
injured several OF the workmen, and
which it was found had been loaded
with high explosive.
The story is denied by Admiral
O'Niell in the most emphatic manner.
The only possible thing, he says,
upon which such Il dispatch can be
hinged was that, following the explo
sion at Ionia island, which resulted
in the death OF several men, some
shells we're sent to the Midvale works
to be rebanded, and in the midst OF
Generalization as a consequence of
the explosion and loss OF life, a load
ed shell was included in the lot.
Admiral O'Neill insisted that no
detective material ever has been re-
ceived from the Miuvale works The
department constantly has upon the
ground an inspector whose duty it ia
to see that no imperfect shells are
sent out.
Under the system OF examination
OF the navy, Admiral O'Neill said
that the possibility of an anarchist
plot to tamper with shells designed
for navy ordinance was preposterous.

Judge Westcott made very brilliant
and convincing closing argument.
At the close of his speech and when
he was taking his seat Mr.. Lore ap-
pealed to the Court, desiring to say
something in his own defence against
the aspersions he felt Mr.. Westcott
had made. He said that his counsel,
Mr.. Swayze, had promised to look
after his interests but he was not here.

Terrapin-'s count'-was worth from
$3 to s.; he was not able to go on with
the terrapin business after the 10Th of
September, 1901, because this action
OF those men broke his business up.
Estimated that the $50 counts taken
away were worth $500. If the pen
had been left alone it was worth
from $4,000 to $1,000 on that day.
when Lore arrested me first he
said it I'd give him some money he'd
go away and leave me alone. This

PIN, said the witness.
The examination OF this witness
consumed the balance of the afternoon
session.
The jurors not on this case were
excused until Monday, November 18th.
This is the last case to be tried until
that time.

lowed to catch terrapin in Delaware
without license, and the statutes
were allowed in evidence.
Certified copies of the records of the
convictions OF Moore and others in the
Delaware courts for taking terrapin in
the waters of that State were offered
in evidence.
Objection was made by Judge West
colt. Objection was sustained. and
the offer of such certified copies was
refused.
{ Arthur G. Mulford, Justice OF the
Peace, was put ON the stand by the
defence, to certify to the issuance Of a
warrant for Carl w. Newcomb's arrest
ON Sept 10, 1901.
This evidence was objected to by
Mr.. Denges.
Mr.. Logue offered the warrants as
justification of Frank J. Lore to go on
the property.
1t was admitted. An exception was
taken.
The warrants-two of them-were
offered in evidence.
With this both sides rested and the
opening was made by Mr.. Denges, of
Camden.
The Judge stated that he would re-
serve the legal question of nonsuit
asked for by Mr.. Logue until the jury
had acted upon the matter of damages.
Mr.. Denges asked for verdict of at
least $40, 900 for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Logue, in summing up for the
defence, said that they relied upon the
weakness of the plaintiffs case that
they depended for verdict for the
defence, and not for the plaintiff.
A The defendants were not wilful law
breakers; they were lawful officers of
the State and county they were act
ing in the discharge of their duties.
The only figures which the plaintiff
has upon which to base a claim for
damnge were the number of the terra
pin which Sheriff Hendee gave them
which was $50, was part of Mr..
Logue's statement in his summing up.

Two young ladies were drowned at
Gray Monday. The unfortunate girls
were Miss Amy Clark. daughter of
Hon. Frank F. Clark of Gray, and Miss
Clara Smith, daughter of Mr.. Hugh j.
Smith, also of Gray. The affair hap
pened at Sebago Pond, where the young
ladies were enjoying an outing. From
the circumstances it appears that Miss
Smith was seized by cramps while in
bathing. Miss Clark evidently went to
the assistance of her disabled friend and
they persisted together. The bodies
were recovered after having been in the
water about an hour. Miss Clark was
10 years of age. She was graduate OF
Pennell Institute and a member of the
Sophomore class of Bates College.
Miss Smith was about 20 years old. She
too was a graduate of Pennell Institute
and was also a former student OF a
business college at Rockland.

Stomach Dosing will not Cure
ONLY WAY TO CURE cATARRH IS By

ONLY WAY TO CURE cATARRH is b
BREATHING HYOMEI.
Ask any physician if catarrh is BLOOD
disease and he will tell you that 1t is
diseased condition of the mucous mem
brane and that it cannot be cured BY
blood purifiers, pills, tablets, or Othel
forms of stomach dosing. The only sen
sible and scientific way of curing catarrt
is by the use of Hyomei.
Breathed for few minutes, four OF
five times day, through hard rubber
inhaler that is so small that it can be
carried in the vest pocket, Hyomei will
absolutely destroy all catarrhal germs
and cure the disease. Catarrh can never
exist where Hyomei is used. 1t has a
two-fold action, destroying the disease
germs in the air passages and lungs, and
soothing and healing the inflamed mu-
cous membrane.
F. A. Shurtleff & Co., one of the most
reliable firms in Paris, are giving their
personal guarantee with every package
of Hyomei they sell, that it will effect a
cure or they will return the money.
They have had scores of reports of re-
markable cures of both acute and
chronic cases of catarrh by Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs 81,
and comprises an inhaler, bottle of
Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler
will last lifetime; and additional bot
ties of Hyomei can be obtained for 5Oc.

Large Audience Hears Gov. Lon2
AN ADDRESS BY HIM THAT Is UNI
vERSALLY COMMENDED.

South Paris people were favored last
week by hearing one of only three
addresses which Hon. John ID. Long
has given in this state campaign. Ii
was learned at somewhat short notice
that Mr.. Long could be had to address
Republican rally on Friday evening,
and the meeting was Immediately adj
yertised.
Ii was the Judgment of some that as
the meeting addressed by Mr.. Cobb and
Mr.. Littlefield was on the afternoon OF
that same day, the evening meeting
would be lightly attended. The event
proved how mistaken was this Judgment,
for the hall was filled to It's capacity,
and a number stood throughout the
evening.
A number of leading Republicans
occupied seats upon the stage, among
whom was Ex-Governor Perham Of
Paris Hill, who, although S. years of
age, was able to come down and listen
with interest to the address of his old
friend.
Hon. James S. Wright presided, and
in opening the meeting spoke briefly,
urging the importance, from both
national and local standpoints, of every
Republican coming out TO the polls and
making his vote count at the state
election. Then, with brief reference
to the long list of distinguished men
that oxford County has sent out, he
introduced one of the most distinguish
ed of them, Ex-Governor Long.
Mr.. Long spoke for some more than
an hour, and any attempt to summarize
his address must fail to do justice to it.
The literary quality of the speakers
style is as well known as his ability and
his public career, and it is unnecessary
to state that it was attractive in form
and phrasing. In private conversation
before the evening Mr.. Long made the
remark that he was out of the habit of
political speaking, and could "only
ramble." While his speech in sense
justified his forecast, it was not without
very definite aim aud plan.
In some respects the address was un-
usual for political speech. The
speaker INDUCED in no fireworks,
flights of oratory, or abuse of political
opponents. Calmly and dispassiOnately
he reviewed the history of the Repu6-
lican administration and the Democratic
opposition in this country since the
election of Lincoln. He did not even
take credit to the Republican party for
all the good things which made the
record of those years so glorious. II
was the conscience of the American
people, he said, that freed the land
from the curse of slavery, but 1t was
through the Republican party that thai
conscience found expression. 1t is the
conscience and the wisdom of the PEG.
pie that have decided our history dur
ing the years since, but it is through
the Republican party that that con
science and that wisdom have found ex'
preston. The Republican party has
always been the party of progress and
advancement. The Democratic party
has been the party of negation, o.
standstill, the party which has sale

and with them should be of decided
