"THE WILD MEN OF SOMERSET:" A MAINE
COLONY OF pAUpERS AND IDIOTS

Of the family informed Abe by signs Of what
was going on and he fell to blubbering like
a great baby, but suddenly one Of the women
put an AZ In his hands, punched hun and
shouted:
Nov EN-, Abe
Instantly Abe was Transformed into q
maniac giant. With FIRE In his eyes he
dashed upon the Officers and would
have worked havoc had not some one
shot him in the leg. Since then be has

aim at him.
The women Of the Brown family are not
exactly Of the olinging variety. When a
deputy sheriff Of Athens a few years ago
went up 20 the Tuttle borough after some
cattle, Mary Tuttle blazed away at him
with buckshot and was only driven out
Of the field by the grit Of the officer, who
secured the cattle and drove them away
before him
II Is a dismal region where these wretches
exist. Once there were good farms there,
but In many places the soil has become
rusty and thin. Several farms have been
abandoned. Others are occupied by the
shiftless people, who care only for bare
existence.
For four miles along the highway load

merous families, but every one u sup

In which the people have gained a resi-
denoe. IL "a a. though tho region we're
a land Of exile for the paupers. some Of
the men are ablebodied and strong, buJ
they lack the faculty Of making a living

They work on their farms, but whatever

trade, and when winter comes on they are
destitute. They are invariably Worsted

What 10 do with the Wild men Of Somsr-

sell the tickets and all the theater. The
entertainment costs less than 500. They
don't have Maude Adams or Mrs. Fiske or
SembTich OF Carlso. But they get rid Of

Sembrich organized a concert for the Home
for the Blind two winters ago. in which all
the artists were Poles. Edouard de Reszks
and Timothee Adamowski both giving
their services. The receipts we're nearly
$1,000.
There are still benefits that yield a real
profit 10 their promoters and do not involve
so much trouble and expense. These are
the ones on which very little Is expended,
for the artists who take part and all the
expenses are kept down 70 a small figure.
The benefit may not be so brilliant, but II
serves It's purpose better than the others.
Nobody knows the inside history
Of these benefits said the proprietor Of
an entertainment bureau TO q Sun reporter,

BANGOR, Ne, May o.-The hard cider
murder, as the killing Of william KniRhts
at West Athens last month Il called, has
again brought 10 public notice the ool-
ony Of paupers and idiots long known
In Maine as the Somerset wild men, and
It IL probable that an effort will be made
10 disperse these unfortunAtes and pro-
vide for them In almshouses or other In
stitutions, where they may be comfortably
cared for and kept under control.
In barren region Of West Athens, Somer-
set county, are gathered some scores Of
wretched mortals-paupeu and descendants
Of paupersfrom several towns Of the vicinity,
who make a pitiful attempt at farming,
and are kept from starvation only by as
sistance from the poor funds Of the towns
where they belong. The present popula-
ton Is composed almost entirely OF two
families-the Browns and the Tuttles,
whose members have intermarried for
generations, with the result Of producing
monsters and idiots. some harmless and
some as dangerous as wild beasts.
These are the facts Of the hard cider
murder Rufus Brown. Jr., aged 20,
killed William Knights Of Bingham,
and has since been arrested and has con-
fessed the crime. According 10 Browns
story. Knights visited the home Of the
Browns, where, with Others, he was enter
tanned with hard cider and other refresh
ments.
Brown became Jealous Of knights. He
got a loaded shotgun, and fired both barrels
at Knights and Mrs. Brown, neither OF
whom was wounded. Brown then ordered
Knights from the premises, and, as Knights
went through the door, struck him upon
the head with the stock Of the gun, killing
him Instantly. Knights was 50 years old,
and leaves a wife and six grown children.
The oldest member Of the colony is Jed
Brown, who Il IS. He was born a pauper
on the farm where he now lives. and his
son, young Jed, and young Jed's children
are pauperB.
The people are not vicious except at
long intervals. Ordinarily they are tract

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The gift Of q new
hind Of money from Uncle Sam furnished
the Filipinos with substantial grounds for
a grand celebration last Ath Of July. This
4th Of July the Finpinos will have another
cause for JubIation.
On that day they Will Be supplied with
a new and distinctive series Of postage
stamps Of all denominations. This will
mark an epoch In the history Of the islands,
They will be the first real Filipino postage
stamps ever used.
For sentimental reasons this new issue Of
Philippine stamps will possess great interest
for the people Of the United States, al
though they will not be available for postage
here any more than are Cuban stamps, Upon
six Of the denominations will appear por-
traits Of distinguished citizens Of the United
States.
The four centavo, corresponding 20 our
two cent stamp, win bear the photograph
Of William Mckinley. This will be the
first time the face Of President Mckinley
has had a place on q postage stamp.
At the time Of bis death the Post ofi1oe
Department had under consideration new
series Of stamps, and Immediately there
developed a strong sentimsnt In favor Of
houoring Mr.. Mckinley with place on one
Of the denominations This could not be
done without displaCing Washington, Frank
lin. Lincoln or Grant provided Mckinley
was to have place on a stamp Of general
use.
In view Of the fact that FrSnklin's por-
trait had appeared on our stamp OF lowest
value from the time Of the issue Of our first
stamps, and Washington had always 90
oupied a similar position on the stamp
carrying domestic letter mail, II was de-
clded not 10 disturb them Then there
was serious discussion Of the proposition TO
issue a mourning stamp bearing the head
Of Mckinley, but this was also abandoned.
Now MoKinley's face will appear on a
postage stamp, and It will Adom the stamps
used by the people liberated from the yoke
Of Spain during his Administration
The new series Of stamps for the Philip
pines viii consist OF tho same number and
minations-eIpressed In oentavos-0s
the current issue Of United States stGmpa
The designs will be as follows;
Two centAvos q oent,-BuH Of RlEal,

by the SpAnlards because OF his activity IN
dghtinF for his CountIy's freedom, This stamp
