Thomas Dinsmore, well-known re-
resident of Palermo, Me-, gives S. to
everybody born in that place. The
money is deposited in a bank to the
childs credit, and remains there until
the recipient reaches legal majority.
Mr.. Dinsmore was born in Palermo
SO years ago. None of us could afford
to do as much for every child born in
Columbia, but we all can and should
do as much for our own. Five dollars
deposited in the Savings Department
of the Farmers & Merchants Bank the
day of a child's birth, and left there
to compound interest for 81 years,
would amount to quite a nice dowery
to start business life with.

the Presidential term six years, in
stead of four, with a proviso forbid
ding a reelection; but third cleo
ton could have but one meaning, that
one man, and one man alone, is quail
flied, and, if a third term, why not
fourth and fifth, on to life-tenure, a
la Diaz?
Mr. John Bigelow's plan of Life
SenatQrships for the States OF the
Union at large in favor of outgoing
Presidents has much to commend it.
One who has occupied the Chief Mag
istracy, aside from the presumption
of personal and intellectual fitness,
must needs have acquired both a
point of view and an equipment, want
ing even to the Oldest and ablest Sen
ators. Macaulay tells us that, in the
case of Gibbon, little service in the
militia aided him as historian and
military critic. The same is true OF
all official service The insider gets
that which is invisible to the outsid-
er, and this holds true at Washington
from Congressman to President. But,
if the struggle of an ex-President to
get livelihood be unseemly how much
more unseemly would be his struggle
to get an Office, even Senatorship?
Better give him a pension and be done
of it.
But this is not ALL 1t is given to
no man to pursue successfully two
distinct careers in life, especially,
having made one career, to make an
other, after his fiftieth birthday.
Theodore Roosevelts experience has
lain along administrative, not legisla
tive, lines. The brief fling he had at
Albany as a member of Assembly
was inconsequential. He would car
ry him to the Senate, as Senator
from New York, habits acquired-we
mean no disrespect id saying it-as
a Ringmaster. He is not lawyer or
skilled debater. He who shines in the
Senate must be both. So consider
able a person, as Mr.. Blaine, an ex-
pert debater, but not a lawyer, was
made quickly to understand that he
could not lord it over the Senate as
he had lorded it over the House. Ed /
munds and Thurman, in particular,
delighted in joining hands to take a
tuck or two out of his Senatorial
trousers. Teddy would find the Big
Stick of no avail. Instead of gaining
character and distinction, he would
run the risk of losing. both.

Now that the dream of all patriotic
Maury countians have been realized in
magnificent court house in which
they may all take pride, the ever
present duty with the County Court
is to keep it clean. Nothing that is
dirty can look pretty; and dust and
dirt will accumulate on fine marble
just as fast and mar its beauty just
as much as it will OF. commoner ma
terial. If you visit any Of the beau
tiful public buildings in Washington
City you will find them not only white
and glistening from the outside, but
delightfully."- clean smelling and clean
looking on the inside. In buildings
where everything is kept fresh and
spotless and clean. very few men are
such low down vandals as to deface
the walls, and very few are such
hogs as to spit on the floors. This is
large building, costly building,
beautiful building and no one or two
men can keep 1t looking nice. The
county court should require-not
merely request, but require, absolute
ly demand of the several county Of
ficials that they keep their own apart
ments clean and In order; something
they have never pretended to do in
the. past, and we do not much blame
them; but something 1t would be In
excusable in them to neglect in the.
future. And scrub women should be
employed to enter the building every
morning at day light to wash the
floors and stairs and banisters and
dust the walls and settees and keep
things clean. Whatever is worth
doing at all is worth doing well, and
the, tax payers of Maury county will
not begrudge the money the County
Court will spend on keeping their
handsome new court house bright
and clean, and the thing of beauty it
is now is, that it may continue to be
their Joy and pride.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.
The REQ Machine Sold BY F. r. Gam
BILE, Stands Some Wonderful Tests.

Some startling demonstrations of
endurance of the. REQ Runabout Au-
tomobile machine have been given
within the past weeks. Mr.. F. r.
Gambel, the agent for the REQ ma
chine in this territory, has driven his
car nearly 5000 miles without single
cent of expense, except for the gaso-
line and the lubricating oil. This is
one of the strong points Of the REQ
car, along with it's simplicity. The
Herald of Saturday, Feb. IT, contained
a cut of one of these cars on an en-
durance trip of 5000 miles, which
demonstrated that passengers could
be carried at the low cost of $40 of a
cent per mile.

GILLETTE SENTENCED.
Must Die Week of January !sS-
Mother an Court as Correspondent.

Herkimer. N. J. Dec. 1O-Chester E. Gillette
was sentenced to-day TO die in the electric chair
Auburn prison in the week beginning January 2s
He Will be taken TO Auburn Monday.
The young man. who has been convicted of the
murder of his discarded sweetheart. Grace Brown
showed no emotion when Justice Devendorf pro-
nounced sentence His face was pale, but his step
was steady and his voice was unshaken when in
reply TO the formal question as to whether he had
anything 70 say before sentence pronounced
he replied: 'T am innocent of the crime charged
In the Indictment. and therefore IL should not be
passed
Anything more?" asked Judge Devendorf.
NO. think not he answered. and resumed
his steady gaze at the court Sentence was then
pronounced
Immediately after he had been sentenced Gillette
left the courtroom, not speaking to his
mother who sat Just behind him in court She had
come two thousand miles, arriving from Denver
COL this forenoon. While the was led from
court Mrs Gillette prepared TO send news dis
patches TO Denver and a New York newspaper
that have engaged her as special correspondent in
the

porters who crowded about her. 'T am doing this
so I can pay my way and arrange for a new trial
It will take large amount Of money, ana was
able to bring little from home"
Mrs Gillette's attention was called TO a telegram
sent from the tan last week by her son. in which
he said a story that he had confessed was false,
granted
."The telegram was mutilated before IL reached
me" Mrs Gillette said. ''I did not know he had
not confessed until 1 saw him this morning. 1 am
firmly convinced Of his innocence. but shall beg
on my bended knees that he confess IL he is
guilty
Cillette's counsel moved that the verdict be set
aside and a new trial be granted The grounds
were that the verdict was contrary to law and
against the weight OF evidence; that the jury had
been prejudiced by improper statements, sugges-
tions and remarks of the District Attorney in his
opening address, IN his crOss-examination' and his
summing up; that the extraordinary term OF the
court held had no jurisdiction and also on excep-
tons The motion was denied as was another mo-
ton that Judgment be arrested and all proceed
ings be set aside
Gillette gave out an interview after he had been
taken to Jail. II am very hopeful" he said, "of
getting new trial Ny mother is here, and am
moro than glad 10 her. but not through the
bars Of a cell People thought was hard hearted

iaiI here or at Auburn, suppose, although am

It was suggested that his bearing in court was
that of an innocent man. why 1t ought TO be-
