Cbief-,yustice WiswelI.

Andrew P. Wiswell. LID, chief
jus ice of the supreme judicial court
OF Maine, died suddenly of heart fail
ure lat the Hotel Touraine, Boston,
early yesterday morning. The dis
tressing news of this wholly unex
pected event was frightful shock to
shis community, in which he was
born, reared and had always made his
home, and in which, by his upright
life, high character, genial PERSONAL
ty and warm sympathy, he had SO
grown into the affections of all that
his death is keenly felt as distinct
personal loss.
Few words are best. Adequately to
set forth his qualities as man, a
friend AMI neighbor; his abilities as
public man; his learning as lawyer;
his influence and power as judge is
a we'll nigh impossible task.
His love for his native town was
strong. From the day he started his
business career, he was leader in
every movement that had in it any
thing of advantage to the town,
whether commercial, industrial, finan-
eial, social or religious.
And az he loved his own town, so
the town loved him; was proud of him
rs man, friend, neighbor, a fell
low citizen; was proud of his advance
ment from the ranks of his profession
TO the highest Office within the gift of
the State, and it feels profoundly the
loss his death has caused.
Not alone does Ellsworth mourn;
throughout the State he was hardy
less we'll known, his learning recog
nized, his influence felt. From every
section come words of appreciation
and coincidence.
The stricken widow has unbounded
sympathy to alleviate in some degree
her great sorrow, and to her goes out
the unsaid but no less heartfelt words
of comfort of city, county, State.
While thus to be cut off in the
prime OF manhood, in the midst of
usefulness, is to be deplored, the in
fiuence of his life and example re-
mains, precious memory, an inspi-
ration and hope.

Nervousness and sleepiessness are usually
due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on
properly nourishing blood; they are starred
nerves. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry makes pure. rich blood, and thereby the
nerves are properly nourished and all IL e
organs of the body are run rs smoothly as
machinery which runs in oil. In this way
you feel clean, strong and strenuous-you are
toned mp and invigorated. and you are good
for whole lot of physical or mental work.
Best of all, the strength and increase in
vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and medicines
which have large booming sale for a short
time, is that they are largely composed of
alcohol holding the drugs in solutioP. This
alcohol shrinks up the red blood corpuscles.
and in the long run greatly injuries the system.
One may feel exhilarated and better for the
time being, yet in the end weakened and
with vitality decreased. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Disc very contains no alcohol.

to insult your intelligence.

A Bar Harbor woman who loves mot
trusts, grafteEs, nor food sdulterators,
came off victorious last week against one
of the cut price grocery houses, not in
Bar Harbor. She has been buying butter
by the tub of them for several years with
satisfaction until the last few tubs, which
were not up in quality or taste. She COM
planned to no effect. She decided to find
out the cause and melted down the So
called butter. The butter separated from
something else, the nature of which the
woman did not know 1t seemed like
some grain compound. Then she wrote
to the firm what she had done. They were
furious, and wrote in reply short letter,
saying il the goods were not satisfactory
she should have notified them. She sent
them a letter saying that she was going to
have the compound analysed by the State
CHI smist. Another letter came and tub
of butter by express. And the last butter
is said to oe the best ever. The woman
feels proud of her victory for pure food,
and does not intend to be cheated again
in a hurry.

One Bar Harbor man lost the Thanks
giving dinner which he had planned for
the national holiday, and he was greatly
disturbed thereby and wroth to degree.
An item in a local paper recently stated
that John Ash, son of Mr. and Mrs. Or
Iando Ash, shot rare kind of bird in his
yard and that he had better luck than
many hunters who go far atield for their
game. A couple of days before Thanks
giving John w. Corners bought pair of
nice live spring ducks from man up the
island, intending to have them for the
family dinner on the holiday. He took
the ducks home and put them in coop in
his yard. Wednesday morning the ducks
escaped from the coop and wandered into
the neigh boring field, where there was a
puddle of water. That morning young
Ash, on his way to school, espied the
ducks, and going back to the house he
got his gun and shot one. The other duck
flew away and was seen no more. Mr..
Corners hunted high and low for his
Thanksgiving dinner, and then learned
that part of it had been shot and the rest
had flown away.

OF |NCOMPETENCY CHARGE
III Addition Compliment Former Su-
perintendent on Her Work
Seventeen Charges.
The State Board of Charities in

The State Board of Charities in
session yesterday in Indianapolis to
consider the ease of Miss Emily
Rhoades, unanimously exonerated
her from every one Of the Il charges
which had been fled against her.
Mrs. Rhodes Is superintendent of the
Women's Prison and Industrial
School for Girls, in Indianapolis, and
was recently charged with incompe-
tency
The case has attracted considera-
bic attention all over the state and
the newspapers have printed detail
ed accopnts of alleged misconduct
and cruelty. Mrs. Emily Rhodes was
q resident of Richmond for six years
while here having been superintend-
ent of the Board of Charities. She
made many friends in this city who
have held since the charges were first
made public. that she was not guilty.
For the past five years she has been
in charge of the Women's s Prison. in
indianapolis. and until recently her
work has proven satisfactory to ev-
eryone. The State Beard thinks that
the charges were brought by dis
gruntled employees who were acting
out Of spite on account Of having
been dismissed from service. @aa-ea
At the meeting yesterday, all seven
If,N-.r 2 L. II
and Judge Sydney Davis, of Terre
Haute. presented typewriter ac-
count of his Investigations of the
case. After probing the matter to
the bottom, the Board gave out its
unanimous verdict. completely clear
ing Mrs. Rhodes of all the charges
Furthermore. it showed conclusivelv
that under Mrs. Rhodes administra-
tion. the institution has been doing
better work than ever before and
shows that since She took charge 76
per cent Of the women and girls who
have left the prison have been lead
ing satisfactory lives. This is a lar
ger percentage than was ever before
known.
Timothy Nicholson, Of this city,
who is a member Of the Board, said
last night that the charges which
were made against Miss Rhodes were
outrageous and that those who start
ed such reports should be prosecuted
for SANDER. He said that Miss
Rhoades is vouched for by ex-Gover-
nor Durbin and other high state off
cials.

mers for clothing material. A part
Of his graft is to tell the purchaser
Of the goods that he is an agent for
a well known tailor who will make
the goods into clothes for $3.50. Dur
ing the short time he operated in
this county he stated that he was an
agent for Otto c. Krone, merchant
tailor at 26 North Ninth street, this
city.
So far as known Meister during
his operations in this county visited
over a dozen farmers but only three
were his victims, John Brooks,
Charles Hire and a farmer named
Walker, residing near Greensboro.
Meister will be arraigned this
morning in police court and the
charge placed against him will prob
ably be obtaining of money under
false pretense. Meister takes his ar
rest cody and says that he does not
believe the authorities can prove that
any of his actions have been illegal.
He is a prosperous appearing man.
When taken into custody Meister
had $5S on him and valuable gold
watch.

PERSON OF THIS CHARACTER
Said to be at Work in This City
Police Are Investigating Case
Without Results.

The police are investigating an al
legged attempt Of a man now in the
city to entice young girls under the
pretense of securing them positions
in larger cities, to a life of shame.
No positive evidence against the man
under suspicion has been obtained
but if the police can secure such he
will be placed under arrest.
1t is known from an authoritative
source that two young women were
approached by this man and he gain
ed their good eraces by his sauve and
polite manner. Learning that they
were seeking clerical work he offered
them good positions in an office of a
large Cincinnati concern. They ac-
cepted the offer and were on the
verge of leaving the city when they
learned that the man was a procurer
They reported the matter and it soon
reached the ears of the police.
At the police headquarters it was
at first thought that the man engaged
in this fiendish and illegal practice
was a stranger who has established
an employment bureau near the
center of the city and who has ad-
vertised for young women to do va
rious kinds of work outside of Rich
mond. An investigation convinced
the police that the mans business
was legitimate.
1t is alleged that the procurer
makes his headquarters at the skat-
ing rink, frequenting that place in
the afternoons but never in the even
ing. 1t is claimed that he modestly
introduces himself to young women
who go there without an escort and
then engages them in conversation.
IF he learns that they are working
girls and seeking better employment
he offers them positions In large cit
les, principally in Chicago and Gin
cinnati.
The game is not a new one, having
been worked all over the country.
but this is the first time an agent
for this illegal traffic has ever op-
Grated in Richmond. The fate Of the
young women who fall into the
snares Of these procurers is a COM
mon one. They are seduced from
their homes and on arriving in the
city where they have been promised
employment they are taken to houses
of ill-fame where they are held prac-
tically as slaves.

Mr.. Lindemuth has an option on

chase. The line is owned by a COM
pany which bought the telephone
plants at New Madison and other
small towns in that vicinity and la
ter sold them all with the exception
of the New Paris plant to the Green
vile company. This line was con-
sidered as being too far away from
Greenville or Eaton to be of much
benefit to either of those companies
and it was offered to Mr.. Lindemuth
for sale. There are $50 subscribers
on the line and it is a paying proper
ty.
