SUIT BY w. H. HILL, 1R.

Seeks to Recover from BOrdman Hall and
James H. Dalton in a Bond Transaction.
A sequel to the settlement of the habeas
corpus proceedings relating to the custody
of 4-year-old William II. Hill, Sd, in which
the father of the child, William II. Hin, Jr.,
resigned all claim to him to his own father,
William II. Hill, ST., the well known bank
found in an action brought by William H.
Hill, Jr, against Bordman Hall and James
H. Dalton. who acted as his counsel in the
afore -mentoned litigation, to recover sub
stantial part of the amount named, which
he declares he was induced to part with for
a number of alleged valuelesS railway bonds
issued by Maine corporation in which the
defendant Hail was alleged to have been in
terested.
The suit came up before Judge Loring in
the supreme court yesterday, and the hear
ing will probably last two or three days.
Messrs. Hall and Dalton testified that
the bonds in question were bought by MIR.
Hill with full understanding of all the
circumstances. Their testimony tended to
show that the railway in Maine was near
ing completion; that delay in construction
was due to the condition of the weather and
to the failure of material to arrive
1Sey denied that they had made any mis-
forth in minute detail the circumstances
surrounding the negotiations.
MIR. HIPS testimony was unfinished at
the hour of adjournment. His story was to
the effect that he was to sell the bonds in
question, and he gave promissory notes as
security for them. lie denies that he had
any intention of buying the bonds.-BOston

All of the parties to the suit are known
here, and the bonds in question are prob
ably those of the Owls Head trolley line.

BICKNELL'S LUCKY VENTURE.

The Rockland Opinion says that Mr.. C.
+. kicknell of that city, a brother of Henry
6. Bicknell of Belfast, is somewhat noted
for making what are termed fortunate
trades and speculations, and that he recent
ly made a purchase which may net him an
unusually handsome profit. At the sale of
the property of the MegunticOok mill, Cam
den, by the trustee, Mr.. Bickneli bid in a
ton or Whereabouts of card-cioth, for which
he paid $40. This stuff was made by the
Camden concern some years ago to fill a
contract with Maryland mill, who were to
pay $4,000 for the lot. 1t was shipped, but
the parties refused to receive it, alleging
that it was not up to contract in weight and
quality. A lawsuit ensued, which was de-
cided against the Camden company, and
the card-cloth was left on their hands. 1t
was considered worthless and has been
stored long time. The loss on this con-
tract and the expenses of the lawsuit are
said to have been the principal one of the
series of misfortunes that bankrupted the
company. Mr. Bicknell did not suppose
the stuff was worth much, but brought it
down to his place of business and stored it,
and began to make inquiries. He got MIR.
Walker, agent of the Georges River Wooden
Manufacturing Co. at Warren, to examine
it, who did so with the result that he finds
that it is in good condition and can be used.
lie is certain that about One-half of it can
be used in his mill, and it has been shipped
to him with the understanding that he will
use what he can of it The price was not
agreed upon, but it will no doubt prove d
very profitable venture for Mr.. Bicknell

A Tribute to Warden Norton.

Senator Morse of Waldo, DIS a member of
the Committee on State Prison, paid as neat
and deserved a tribute to Bernes 0. Norton,
warden of the State Prison, as has been
paid to public official in a number of
years, during the hearing before the Com
mittee on Appropriations and Financial
Affairs The measure under consideration
was a resolve approprating $4,000 for
1905 and $4,000 for 1906. Warden Norton
appeared before the committee and ex-
planned that it would be impossible for him
to get along with a lesser sum. Senator
Morse said: "Mr. Norton is a new man at
the State Prison but he has surprised every
member of the committee by his grasp of
the situation and his business ability He
has already made great improvements at
the prison and the workshops have as
sumed business like aspect. When Mr..
ing horse shoes in the yard When we
went there we found them all at work. Mr..
Norton had put them to work" The COM
mittee spent but little time considering the
resolves and reported "Ought to pass"

Judicial Decision on "Pass."

The court of Maine has been ponder
ing upon this question: Surprising two
boys are playing 'pass" in the street, and
one boy throws a fly to the other, who fails
to ''get under it, and the ball bounds and
breaks Il $50 windows it an accident, or
is it not?
The court has decided that it is not an
accident, that the boy who threw the ball
was negligent, although not Intentionally,
as he was aware what might happen in
case the other boy did not catch the ball.
The court rules that an action based upon
pure accident is not maintainable, because
there is no fault; but that one based upon
negligence, though unintentonal, may be
sustained.
The case originated in Farming on, the
lower court awarding $50 damages to the
plaintiff. The case was taken to the law
court on the ground that che facts as set
forth constituted an accident. Exceptions
Overruled, and verdict affirmed,

THE MONTHLY TRIAL.

Headache, Dizziness, Bearing-DOwn Pains.
Woman Tells How She Has Become
Well and Strong After Years of Misery
Due to Irregular Functions.
The fact that one woman is bright-eyed,
rOsy-cheeked, strong and cheerful, while
another is pale, weak and depressed, is due
more often than otherwise to the regularity
in the one case and the irregularity in the
other of the functions that are peculiar to
the sex. When these are disturbed every
thing goes wrong; pain and discomfort are
felt all over the body; the sensations are
often terrifying
If all women so afflicted would follow the
example of Mrs. Davis they would soon
escape these trials. She had a long expert
ence of the most wretched feelings. She
tried doctor after doctor unsuccessfully and
experimental with numerous preparations
advertised to cure female complaints, and
then at last she found one medicine of
genuine merit.
"FOr four years." said Mrs. Davis recent
ly. II suffered indescribable misery from
sick headache every month, accompanied
severe pain in my left side. There were
also bearing-d0wn pains ut times so acute
that could not stand up, and my head was
full 0! ringing sounds. 1t seemed as If
everything was going to hit me in the eyes.
l was compelled to lie down with closed
eyes LOT hours I'd get d lILGlc FclI0l. w ueu 1

around and it would grow SO dark that l
could scarcely see any object"
"Couldn't your doctor help you ?" she was
asked.
81 had five doctors in all to treat me, but
| got no lasting benefit from any one of
them. Besides | used a lot of remedies adj
vertiSed to cure female complaints. The
only medicine, however, that had the de-
sired effect was DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
and they are truly godsend to women"
"After SO many disappointments it is a
wonder that you had courage left to try
anything"
"My husband got them for me on the
recommendation of friend, but l did not
have much faith in them when l began to
take them. l found myself, however, so
much better after using two boxes that
began to believe in them. They checked
right away the decline into which l was
going. My troubles kept lessening and final
ly disappeared altogether"
SHOW long did it take to effect cure?"
"After had used twelve boxes my health
was all right. had taken on flesh and was
strong and hearty. | feel today in spirits
more like a girl of sixteen than woman
of my years. OF course, | do not like to
tell these things about myself, but am
