MRS COOPER STRONGER.

Augusta. Me, April 3.--Mrs Alice F. Cooper seemed stronger than yes- terday when to-day's session of her trial on the charge of murder began.

In order to ex- pedite the progress of the trial, which tomorrow will enter upon its fourth week, an hour will be added to each days session beginning to- day. Dr Arthur l.. Sukeforth who, at adjournment last night, was be- ing cross examined regarding the procedure at the autopsy on the body of Charles F. Worthy. the alleged victim of the murder, resumed the stand to-day.

VERY EASY TERMS.

Elegant upright pianos that sell in the regular retail way for $550, $500. $450, $400, $375, $350, $500. to be sold out within the next ten days for $3S7, $337. s2S7, $267, $237, $227, $217. $187, and there are some going as low as $155, $127, s80.
 ORGANS, $1O. $2O, $50.
 Don't miss this opportunity. It would really be a shame to deprive the children of a musical instrument when here at this sale you can buy such a fine one for so small an amount of money.
 Every piano must be disposed of before the 18th of this month. The time is short and the stock a large one, consequently prices have been deeply cut in order to move the goods quickly.
 UPRIGHT PIANO, $SO.
 Now don't say your financial con- dition will not permit you to pur- chase a piano just at present. You don't have to pay cash, but you do get the benefit of factory cash prices and have the advantage of the easy payment way.
 COME EARLY.
 Store open every evening during sale. Come and look at the instru- ments, note the prices and be con- vinced that now and at this sale is the place to buy piano.
 Remember the place, 61 Center St, next to Adams Express Go.

Coaling Stations.

New Haven, April 3.--In connec- ton with inquiries relative to pro- posed reductions in rates upon coal, the following statement was given out by the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co to-day:
 The modern coaling stations re- suit in marked decrease in the cost of handling coal, and 1t has been de- cided to afford the consumer an op- portunity to participate in this econ omy by reducing the rates upon tide water coal handled through these plants. There will also be similar reduction in rates upon coal handled through other tide-water points where facilities are somewhat anti quated, but the larger reduction will not be possible at these points until the more modern plants are in- stalled. ..
 Unfortunately we are without coal discharging facilities in Boston, and, consequently, are unable to re- duce the rate through that point. However, as soon as permission can be secured from the commonwealth of Massachusetts the company in tends to construct a spur track from South Boston to the foot of what Is known as Northern avenue, at which point there are two modern coal dis charging plants owned by private in- terests.
 'As soon as this track is completed consumers located in the territory which can be most advantageously served through these points will re- ceive a reduction in their rates"

why Arabs Lie.

world that the most universally I'M
truthful people to he met with are the
Arabs. All foreigners lie some Of the
time, but the Arabs lie all of the time.
Whether this be true or not. the Arabs
give this reason for their untruthful-
ness:
When the father of lies came on
earth to distribute his goods he had
nine bags of lies. He spread one bag OF
lies throughout Europe. then started
for Africa and Asia. He landed in
Egypt one evening intending to scat
ter a bagful over that country and
Syria. then on the following day go TO
Asia. While he slept the Arabs (who
were accomplished thievesl stole all
his remaining bags OF lies and distrib-
uted them among themselves

Letter 10 Prof. w. p. Coiburn


Dear Sir: Here's an interesting little
story of the way painter worked" a
school master To the benefit of both.
Pfof' j. w. Spinder, superintendent
Of city school of Winfield, Kan, had
his house painted few years ago with
mixed paint which turned out badly.
Three years ago he decided to re-paint.
He studied the matter up little, and
decided that he wanted lead and zinc
mixed by good painter.
He gave his CIDER for it to J M.
Vaughn, painter, and specified just
what he wanted in the wav of paint.
Mr.. Vaughn simply put on Devoe lead
and. zinc Paint and said nothing; but he
knew it WIS made of the right materi'
ais and better mixed than he could dc
it by hand
The other day Prof. Spindler compli'
mented Vaughn on the excellence of the
job; and then the painter confessed.
The house looks well yet.
Yours truly,
