The Waterman Poisoning Case.

The somewhat noted Waterman
poisoning case, which has agtated the
inhabitants of Victory for some time and
furnished the colored journals with
columns of elaborated facts, is brought
into prominence again by the action Of
the Essex county grand jury, which has
indicted Waterman for murder in the
first degree, whereas he was originally
bound over, at the preliminary hearing,
on the charge of manslaughter. The facts
in connection with this case, as brought
out at the trial before Justice McGinnis,
are familiar to our readers. 1t will be
remembered that Waterman's arrest
followed the death of his tbree-years-ol
daughter Lila, to whom it was alleged,
he had given such doses of oil OF winter
green as proved fatal. Witnesses for the
state sought to establish this charge,
while Waterman's counsel, H. B. Howe
OF this place, undertook to prove the
fathers uniform kindness to the child and
the utter absence of motive for so
atrocious deed as that OF which Water
mans neighbors suspected him. The
progress OF the trial before the county
court will be watched with interest.

RehablIltating the Morgan.

The Free Press says that conference
was held at Burlington on Thursday be-
tween Senator Proctor, George M. Rum
nell of the bureau of animal industry of
the United States department of agri-
culture and the board of control of the
experiment station, touching the Nor
gan horse breeding trials which it is con-
templated will be carried out in that
city under the joint auspices of the ma
tional department and the experiment
station. Substantial progress was made
toward arriving at satisfactory work
ing agreement. 1t is hoped that the de.
tails of the matter may be definitely
worked out within the next few weeks,
in which event the enterprise will be in
augurated in the near future. Trials of
this general character are already under
way in Colorado and bid fair to prove OF
marked successin aiding the development
of an improved type of American carriage

The principle and rule Of Christian
Science mind-healing were before Adam.
They only needed to be discovered and
applied.
After this brief and fragmentary al
fusion to these differences | ask what
think you of the difference!
1t really means the supremacy OF God
and the impotence of error. 1t means
life and health instead of sickness and
doom. 1t means JOY instead of tears.
1t means lawful Christ in demonstra-
ton of palpable salvation for man
who ought to be like his Maker.
For third OF century Mrs. Eddy has
been pleading with mankind for the
recognition of its right to life, health and
holiness according to the will OF God:
She has insisted that God is the natural
healer of the sick, and that disease is
contrary to God and His will. She has
discovered and made known the science
OF Christian healing and has set forth
the rule whereby humanity is to obtain
mastery over disease.
On every one who has ever healed the
sick through and by means of divine
power in attestatien Of the supremacy OF
spiritual law, the world has bestowed
the antagonism and hatred which
materialism ever exhibits toward the
spiritually minded, indeed, there has
scarcely been reformcr since the day OF
Abel who has not been hated, revied,
stoned or crucifed; martyr to his own
ministry and missions.
In view of this inveterate propensity of
the human mind to prosecute the prophets
and to resist that which makes for its
own moral and spiritual welfare, it is
not strange that with consistent indus
try it has given itself up to misrepresenta-
ton and defamation of Christian Science
and its works and Of the leader of this

Correspondent. the London Pail Mall
Gazette: The Italians are poor but
proud, and the latent dissatisfaction
at what they call the Economics at
the Quirinal, which up to now has been
simmering, has at last boiled over, the
proverbial last straw being that Queen
Elena wore the same costume at the
races the other day that she appeared
in last season on the same occasion!
Could enormity &c farther? But, all
the same, there Is something to be said
for the grumblers. They certainly pay
16, 900, 900 francs (a64O,O 0O) yearly to the
king, and almost the only return they
get-they say-is two balls at the royal
palace. The king and queen never pat
roniZe music or the drama, never enter
q private house, never pay visits, never
apparently interest themselves in any
of the one hundred and one social or
charitable affairs OF the court set. So
the people pretend that when their
majest1es do issue from their Oriental
seclusion" the queen should at least
have on a new costume; but, alas, they
are usually disappointed.
To probe the discomfort still further,
1t must be said that the Italians are
most suspicious thai the economy
(Which really does EXIST does not go
for the benefit Of the royal couple, but
finds its way to Montenegro-which Is
like a red flag to a bull to them. "That
u queen should make q, 'brutta f1gura'
(cut a bad fgure) that Uncle Nicholas
(the prince of Montenegro may prosper
is intolerable," they go about mutter-
ing. But then, after all. what can they
do about it?

Time and Money Aaainst Life.

Kansas City Star: When THE fastest
train in the worldts Ymadeha record run
from New York 10 Chicago there was
great felicitation upon the enterprise OF
the railway. There was equal congratu-s
Iation that the public would save money
making time. On the fourth run of this
marvellous train eleven persons were killed
and many others injured. The Develop
ment demonstrated in such train service
was on a par with the average Industrial
expansion Of the United States--every-
thing for saving money and time and.
precious little to safegnard&life.
Is IT. not time even in Amerca-sc prod
igal Of the universal commodity, life
that the model method OF stranspcrta-
ton should be one equipped with every de-
vice for safety rather than for speed?
Would there not be more satisfaction in
knowing that one woul reach ones des-
tination in health thar to u a very ma
terial risk of either not getting there at
all or of being shipped In?
Never believe that one who criticised
the causes of such a catastrophe as the
Lake Shore wreck would be regarded in
railway circles as pitiably ignorant and
would be told that every precaution had
been taken and the accident was unavoid-
able. They always are. But the acct
dent happened. and Neutrality-suspicious.

The public does not know what that
precaution might have been. Perhaps to
have used cars that would not smash-asi

ble-or, maybe, in the last analysis, to
run slower. But what the railways ought
to understand is thai not even dollars and
time are of more account than human life.

marketing Potato Crop,.

In line with the classic cast of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
Of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile of the
Boston and Maine railroad before the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest Of the
localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers of
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to ten
million bushels, which find a market
largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New England.
The competition of cheap water trans
portation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
Dut of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago %favoring sun
and rains brought a tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut of the customary mar
on the farms. To help the potato grow
ers the railroads from Michigan made
unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes
to every readable market, eve carry
Ing them In large quantities to a place
SO remote as Boston. The Aroostook
growers had to reduce the price on
their potatoes and ever then could not
dispose of them unless the Boston ands
Maine railroad reduced It's already low
rate. which it did. By mean Of these
low rates. making possible low prices.
the potato crops of both Michigan and
Maine were finally marketed. Every
body eats potatoes, and that year ev-
eTyhody had ell the potatoes he
wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinou to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine railroad suffered a
decrease In its revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making OF
rates were subject to governmental adj
iustment such radical and prompt ac-
ton could never have been taken, be-
cause it Is well established that If a
rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proceed
ure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
tation they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot.-Exchange. Ady.
