farther from the shore. Mr.. Jayncs does
not care to be quoted as saying that tn"
prospect is at all very encouraging or is
exactly hopeless. He does state with en-

{. +. HANSON At HOME.
The SarsapariIIa King Pays Business
Visit to Belfast.

Belfast, Me. Feb. Hon. Edgar +.
Hanson of Chicago, formerly mayor of
Belfast and famous as the Sarsaparill;,
king of Maine, arrived in Belfast on
the boat Wednesday on a brief busi-
ness trip. Mr.. Hanson was recently
convicted in the federal court in Chi
cage of violating the postal laws by
sending obscene literature through the
mails and was sentenced to year in
the penitentiary and fined $4,000. Mr..
Hanson's attorneys applied for and
was granted a writ of error and he
was released on $4,000 bonds.
Mr.. Hanson in ali Interview explained
his side of the case. He claims that his
prosecution was the result Of a rather I'M
usual accident and that he had not tn.
slightest intention of breaking the law.
He said that in 1891 n series of medical
books were printed in Bangor for crcu-
lation. Soon after they were printed he
discovered several sections which he con-
sdered Objectionable and ordered the eji-
ton DESTROYED and new books printed.
These he submitted to postal authorities
in Washington. but they refused to pass
an opinion. Col. A. w. Bradbury of Port
land, then district attorney, consented to
look over the books and unofiicially sail
that he did not find anything objection
able. In May, 1895. Judge Chester II.
Krum of st. Louis gave his opinion that
the matter was not Objectionable.
In some way, Mr.. Hanson says, a few

had been entirely destroyed. had been
sent with other matter from Belfast to
Chicago AS the covers were the same
as those of the books which had been
passed upon as all right, number were
sent out and were found by postotiice in
spcctors, with the resulting prosecution.
The writ of error was granted by Chief
Justice Grosscup of the United States
circuit court of appeals. Mr.. Hanson said
today that he expected to obtain new,
trial when he should produce new evil
dence which he believed would result in
an acauittal. A contention would be that

sulting physicians to patients or prOspec-
