WIFE MURDER CHARGED.
Harvard Tutor Sought by the Police
 at Chicago.

Harvard Tutor Sought by the Police
 at Chicago.
 CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 28.-The Cambridge police last night issued a warrant for the arrest of Erich Muen- ter, an instructor in German at Har- yard university, on charge of mur- dering his wife in this city about two weeks ago. It is alleged that Mrs. Muenter's death was caused by ar senic. The body was taken to Chi cago and cremated there.
 Physicians who attended Mrs. Muen- ter reported to Medical Examiner Swan and an autopsy was performed.
 Mrs. Muenter on April gave birth to a child and was attended by two Christian Science doctors and nurse. While she believed in Christian Sci ence, her husband was opposed to it. The police are reticent in attributing a motive for murder. They have learned that Mrs. Muenter's life was insured by the New York Life Insurance com pany for $1,000.
 When Mrs. Muenter died Drs. Her bert B. Mcintyre and F. w. Taylor, prominent Cambridge physicians. who had been called into the case, refused to sign death certificate and reported to Dr. w. D. Swan, medical examiner, who performed an autopsy. Dr. Swan sent the contents of the stomach to Professor William F. Whitney of the HarSard Medical school for analysis. When Dr. Swan and District Attorney Sanderson were notified by Professor Whitney that the cause of death ap- peared to be arsenical poisoning the district attorney notified the Cam bridge police to arrest Muenter op a charge of murder.
 circumstances about the death and funeral arrangements of my sister were of such nature that I believe, with all the other members of our fam fly. that there is something radically wrong" This was the statement made by Eugene H. Krembs, brother of the dead woman.
 Muenter left Cambridge on April IT, going to Chicago with his wife's body.

REPAIRING CREMATORY.
Which Means the Building Will Con-
 tinue Where It Is af Present.

tinue Where It Is at Present.
 It begins to look as if the crematoS was going to stay in Waterville for . year or. two at least since the health board is putting the plant in good c0u- dition and expects next week to call for bids for the erection of q smoke stack. Although the health board will have enough left out of the appropria- ton to meet the expenses of some of the repairs they will need more money for the new stack. But this is not worrying the members much as they assert that the board of finance will come good with whatever extra cash is needed.
 Unless the Waterville yeople stick to their word to get out an injunction they will have the plant in their sec ton for some time to some. The health commissioners regard the mat ter. as almost settled now since the committee appointed by the mayor has voted 10 al ow the repairing to go ell.
 The residents of the various parts of the city who thought that the ere matOry was coming their way seemed to have hade holler without cause as there does not appear to be any way out of the present muddle but to leave the crematory at Waterville.
 Meanwhile Edward McGrath is waiting to see Collector Rigney get his first $500 for disposing of the gar- haze. As soon as he receives the cash the west end man will appear on the scene with that injunction about which there has been so much said.

CANAL FOR FRANCE.
Gigantic Enterprise Which Would Make Gibraltar of Little Value to England-To Take Eight
 Years to Build.

France is getting ready to lift up her shipping to the first rank, double the force of her navy, and cause the Med iterranean to cease to be an English lake" by nuulifying Gibraltar. And this she expects to accomplish by building a vast ship canal across the lower end of France from the At lantic to the Mediterranean. By it's means, the French fleet will be capable of operating, one day on the Atlantic, and then two days later show itself in Mediterranean ports, without subject ing itself to the guns of Gibraltar.
 One of the queerest things about it is that the canal exists already for canal boats and small coasters. To en- large it for warships and merchantmen is no mere dream. Since 1878 the canal of the two seas' has been fully planned by engineers. Three parlia- mentary commissions have made es- inmates upon it, and now M. Gauthier,

THE POLICE COURT. Trouble Between Colored Barbers Settled Up in Court To-Day.

The dispute between tine colored men, Frank Williams and Harry Walker, about the ownership of a barber shop at 45 Brook street was fully explained in the city court to- day before Judge Peasles. It was substantially as was related in the Democrat yesterday. The place was rented by Walker, but since March, Williams had been in possession, hav- ing bought it out on an agreement. Thursday morning Walker, feeling that Williams had not kept to the agreement, went to the shop and locked it up. Soon after Williams came along and finding the door locked, got crow bar and prisd the door open. As the last receipt for rent was given in Williams name the court found he was justified in breaking the place open, and dis charged him.
 Mary Durham was given thirty days in Brookside, and Oscar Schneid- CT was fined $7 and costs for intoxi- cation.

AS YOU LIKE IT.
Some Stray Leaves From Reporters
 Note Book.

The local bar association has $50 somewhere that it does not know what to do with and in all probabil- ity it will be donated to the relief Of the San Francisco sufferers. The money was left over from the ac- count of the annual and only bar banquet given in The Elton last June. Who has the money now is mystery which the detective depart ment may be called upon to unravel. It's accumulation will of course de- pend upon in whose custody it has been. If the money is not given to the relief of the people of San Fran cisco 1t may be borrowed by some ln- digent lawyer who may become a victim of spring fever. As some !iti- gants in these parts have refused to pony up to their legal advisers, rush for the fifty may happen when it becomes known that there are hfty somewhere.

 | i. RIVER. fStA sin0a : | (IIow Locomotives Will Draw Warships Through the Canal)
 minister of public works, has sent his own commission to make final studies of the scheme, and It's conclusions are to be submitted to the lower house for action.
 The modern engineers have a ri. tanic task before them to enlarge the Bordeaux -Narbonne system to deep sea ship canal-a ship canal that must climb and descend mountain water shed! .-t. Eight years will be required. The cost is estimated at a minimum of $160, 100000, although an early com mission set it at s200.O0O,O0O and still another at $35O, 100000 The latter cal culation has been proved erroneous.
 The present estimates foresee 3O0,- 900 workmen, guided by 30 chief en- gineers and 200 overseers. with dig ging and tunneling machines driven by eo.o0o horsepower.
 The route is straight from Arcachon to Agen on the Garonne. ss miles of easy cutting. without a single lock.
 The waters of the Garonne gre to be reenforced from many torrent of the Pyrenees-which will save Tou- louse and other towns from the peri odic inundations that now trouble them. Between Agen and Toulouse the Garonne. strongly banked and be- come at last the safe drain of these mountain torrents. will take the fleets of war and commerce to Toulouse-be- come the central maritime arsenal of France.
 From Toulouse to Castelnaudry, the route Is along the old bed of the canal of Languedoc. of Clara Wards ances- tor-by-marriage. The old canal abounds In locks. To mount to the lock of the ocean. where begins the up- per race. it ascends gradient of 200 feet by means of IT locks In a distance of g miles. The upper race Is 3iz miles long and terminates at the lock of the Mediterranean. To descend to the Mediterranean the work of Riquet extends over 11l miles. descending a gradient of nearly sOo feet by means of ls locks.
 French commerce waits upon the canal for its restoration. While the French eoasting trade is reduced to s.000. 900 tons a year. that of Great Britain Is over 10000. 900 tons. The French dsep4sea carrying is less than that of Ital or Norway.

BURTON WON'T RESIGN.
The Grating Senator Will Have to Be
Kicked Out if the Senate Wants to
Get Rid of Him.

Washington, May 24.-Senator Bur-
ton, of Kansas whose conviction on
the charge of practicing before the
postofice department for personal gain
was affirmed by the supreme court last
Monday, announced today that he will
not resign from the senate. 1t had
been hoped by some Of the leaders OF
the senate that he would relieve them
of the embarrassment of taking action
in the case by voluntarily giving up
his seat.
In conference with Senator Bur-
roughs, chairman Of the committee on
privileges and election, Burton said
that he did not believe that his
status had been changed by the decis-
ion Of the court, and he would, there
fore, not resign.

The Fight Against nliteracy.

The United Daughters Of the Con-
federacy can engage in no more useful
warfare than in that against illiteracy
among the Southern whites, upon
which they have entered at the sug-
gestion Of Mrs. Martha G. Gielow,
president general Of the Southern In
duscrial Educational Association. Mrs.
Gielow has found that among the
white dwellers in the mountain dis
tricts OF the South there is almost no
schooling. Nor are the children Of
the poor whites in the lowlands so
much better off as to be beyond the
need of outside assistance. Mrs. Gle
lows summary Of the situation is that
in Alabama IA per cent. Of the native
born whites above 10 years of age, are
illiterate; in North Carolina 19 per
cent, and South Carolina 13. She
adds that the percentage of the illit-
eracy in the Tennessee and Kentucky
mountain districts is far greater than
in those CT the States mentioned. We
think of ourselves as public schooled
nation, and so, On the whole, we are,
but spots Of illiteracy persist.-Bosto
