Miss Matte Hackett.> eighteen years old.
daughter Of Levi ]. Hackett. was found
Thursday night on her fathers farm I'M
conscious She died shortl yafterward. Mr..
and Mrs. Hackett live on the road from
Kent's Hill, Md. to Winthrop village,
about mile from Kent's Hill Female Sem
mary. They own large farm. but are in
limited circumstances.
Four poorly dressed young men called at
the Hackett farm house about 8 o'clock
Thursday night and asked for food. Mr..
Hackett was about to start to the barn to
do some chores and his wife was at a
neighbours. Calling his daughter Matte.
Mr.. Hackett told her to get the strangers
some supper.
One of the men, who says his name Is
Harry Jones, accompanied the farmer to
the barn, the other three remaining in the
kitchen doorway. few minutes later Mr..
Hackett heard stiaed outcry, and accom-
panied by Jones, he hurried to the house.
On the way he heard another cry as of
some one in distress, this time in the direc-
ton of the field, and discerned the figures
Of two men moving out of the field
Entering the kitchen, he found it desert
ed. Neither his daughter nor the three
tramPs HON he had left there not more
imam nVe minutes before were to be seen.
Jones seemed greatly concerned about their
absence and accompanied Mr.. Hackett to-
ward the field whence had come the out
cries. They found the girl lying in the
roadside about forty rods from the house.
She was unconscious. but still breathing
In the darkness they did not see the cord
which was strangling her. That discovery
was made after they had carried her into
the house, where it was loosened too late
to save her life.
Mr.. Hackett, in desperation, ran to the
home of the nearest neighbor. leaving his
strange caller to watch over the remains of
the girl When the father returned with
the neighbors Jones was still there in
seeming bewilderment over the affair They
piled him with questions about his COM
panions. He said he knew the name of only
one.
The men, he said, had been released from
the Androscoggin Jail that morning and
had made their way to Kent's Hill, twenty
five miles. on foot having intended to go
to Rumford Falls for work He declared
he had not the slightest suspicion that any
of his companions would attack the girl
Other neighbors gathered, and a company
of armed men started on tramp hunt, and
the quest is still in progress Jones is about
twenty-five years old. His companions were
committed from the Auburn court and
were released from jail Thursday morning.
They are all under forty years old.

passenger being killed in a train accident
In the course of given journey were more
than 2OO,G000O0 to /. The risks incurred
by railway servants, especially those con-
cerned with the movement of traffic. are of
course much greater. In their case there Is
an element of danger which cannot be
eliminated. though it's effect may be min
imize6 by the adoption of suitable ap-
planes and safeguards. The increas ng
use of such appliances is having an appre-
ciable effect, but it is claimed that the
carelessness engendered by familiarity with
dangerous conditions appears to be re-
sponsible for so many accidents that it is
unreasonable to expect any marked reduc-
ton in the total number of accidents to
railroad servants.

Commercializing Ideals.

Suspended All Action.

When the Commissioners learned later
that the filtration plant would not be COM
pleted before the list of July. and might not
be entirely finished until the LIST of January
next or later, they suspended all action in
the matter until the next session of Con-
gress.
Commissioner Macfarland said today that
undoubtedly the Commissioners would then
present it just as they had begun to do at
the last session of Congress. They would
ask for the transfer of the Washington
aqueduct system. knowing that they had
the consent of the chief of engineers, but
they would not press the proposition for the
transfer OF the parks if the chief of engl-
neers opposed it.
In his statement before the House COM
mittee on appropriations on December IA
last Commissioner Macfarand, besides Civ
ing the reasons for the transfer grouped
under the head of unity of control, said
also:
There is one reason which 1 have not
mentioned which l think ought to be men,
toned, why these things should be brought
under the Commissioners. and that Is we
make our estimates in view of our revenues.
The estimates for the aqueduct and for the
parks and for the things under the War
Department are made without any refer
ence to our revenues. There is no reason
from their point of view why they should
consider our revenues. They recommend
q
now that it would reduce the estimates
still it is very important that all the esti-
mates which come upon the District rev.
enues SHOULD come through one channel
and should be considered with reference to
the whole amount of the District revenues
and the appropriation fund, just as they
should all be accounted for under one super
vision. OF course, this practice of dealing
with certain matters under the War De-
partment grows out of the fact that there
was no District government at the time
these things We're begun. There was no
one on hand on behalf of the District. and.
moreover, the whole expense was borne ny
the United States, but of late years we
have been Obliged to pay half of the ex-
pense of the maintenance of the parks and
even of the Executive Mansion and other
grounds and other purely national places,
and while. of course, we have no intention
of asking control of the Executive Mansion
or of the Washington monument. we do
think that we ought TO have far a pos
sble supervision of the parks particularly,
and such other items would properly
come under our Jurisdiction"

Floating Homeateaa.

On all the great lakes of China are
found floating islands, which are enor-
nous RATS of bamboo, overlaid with
earth and upholding above the surface
Of the water pretty houses and gar
dens. They are, in fact, aquatic farms,
bearing crops of rice and vegetables.
The rich bottom mud, utilized as an
artificial soil, is extremely fertile and
yields bountiful harvests, though on a
small scale. In country where there
is such lack Of available land owing
to the overplus of population these
floating plantations are most service
able, large sails being attached to the
dwelling house as well as to each cor
ner Of the island whenever 1t is desired
to move about After gathering a
crop of grain or garden truck from the
surface of the lake the floating farmer
casts his nets into the waters and from
their depths brings up a supply of fish
for his family.

HENRY HUDSON.
Born No One Knows Where and Died
No One Knows How.

Born No One Knows Where and Died
No One Knows How.
Hudson must have been at least forty
when he died, but nothing is known Of
his life before the last four years Of it.
A certain Henry Herdson, or Hudson,
alderman of London and one of the
founders of the Muscovy company, has
been suggested as his grandfather, and
the relationship is the more likely be-
cause it is certain that some of his
name and kin were interested in the
company. 1t may have been upon their
recommendation that he was first APP
pointed to the command of a ship in
the companys service in 1907 OF his
early training and previous voyages
nothing is known. The beginning Of lis
history is as mysterious as its end. lie
was born no one knows where, and he
died no one knows how He comes into
our knowledge on the quarter deck OF a
ship bound for the pole; he goes out of
it in crazy boat manned by eight sick
men, and so fades away into the dim
haze that hangs about the desolate ice
foes.
The four voyages of Hudson of which
we have record were not directed to
absolutely unknown waters, but the
observations made by his precursors
were so untrustworthy that they We're
of little service except to mislead him.
The object of his first voyage in the
service of the Muscovy company was
ito discover the pole and to sail across
1t to the islands of Spicery or Cathay."
and ON April 10, 1907, he, with John
Hudson, his son, sixteen years old, and
the ten men who made up the crew Of
the Hopeful, took the sacrament to-
gether at St. Ethelburga's, in Bishops
gate, ''purposing to go to sea four
days after" In the following year
Hudson sailed again.. still in the serv-
ice of the company. They reached the
Lofoden isles in a month and rounded
the North cape on June 1. A fortnight
later they encountered one of those
wonders of the deep which the seamen
of that time were so often privileged
to witness and describe on June 15
Zone of our company, looking over
board, saw a mermaid. Calling up
some of the company to see her, one
more came up, and by that time she
was close to the ships side, looking
earnestly on the men. A little after
a sea came up and overturned her.
From the navel upward her back and
breasts were like woman las they
say that saw herr; her body was as big
as one of rs: her skin very white, and
long hair hanging down behind, of
color, black In her going down they
saw her tail, which was like the tail
of porpoise and speckled like mack
erel. Their names that saw her were
Thomas Hilles and Robert Rayner."
The only really incredible part of the
story is that no more than two men
thought it worth while to go on deck
to look at her.-W. ]. Fletcher in Mac
millan's Magazine.
