ELIOT'S DENIAL
President of Harvard Says That Roosevelt is Not Booked
 For Harvard
WRONG CONSTRUCTION

Boston, June 4.-In an interview published to-day, President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard university stated that President Roosevelt was not thinking of officially Joining Harvard at the conclusion of his term of office as president. The recent utterances of the president at Lansing, Mich, before the Harvard association had been in- terpreted in some quarters as meaning that President Roosevelt would be connected officially with the uniyer- sity when he retires from the presi- dency. President Eliot said:
 ''In his address last week President Roosevelt stated that inside cf one year and eleven months he hoped to be one of them again. by which I take 1t he simply mean: that at the expiration of his term as president he would he able to devote himself to alumni work and again take an active part in the alumni work at Harvard
 T do not think that he intended in the least to give the impression that he expected to be in any way an of. cial in the institution, or that he was even thinking of being member of the corporation or the board of over seers. His remark was informal and he was looking forward to the time when he would have tne leisure to work actively in Harvard's behalf"

HINTS FOR THE BoUDoIR.
.secipes for Toilet Cream and Anti
 perspiring Powder.

A simple and delightful toilet cream is made after this recipe: One dram of tragacanth in powder. three fluid ounces of glycerin and 13 fluid ounces of rosewater. Mix we'll. let stand three or four days, then strain through muslin. This will be found very excel lent for chapped complexion, chapped hands or rough, cracking lips.
 An effective powder for perspiring hands: Two drams of oxide of zinc, two drams of boric acid. four drams of lycopodium one ounce of starch. one-half ounce of powdered orris root. The addition of little spirits of cam phor to the water when bathing will have an astringent effect on the pores os the palms of the hands.
 Superfuous halr is the worst. most unsightly and most dreadful of all the awful array of beauty ills. But if one has the time and a little money 1t is unnecessary to carry such an afiiction through life. You can take 1t to a beauty doctor and leave 1t there. The electric needle is used with the best results. The hairs are each one treat ed separately and are promptly put out of business. Go to first-class op- orator who does the work conscien- tiously. whose appliances are the best and who will tell you frankly and hon. estly just what she can do for you. There Is but the slightest discomfort attached to the work and you will have 10 reason in the world to fear bad results. No scars will remain if the needle is right and if the operator understands her profession.
 A bruised finger nall should be held in hot water for half an hour. This will often, prevent the bloods settling under 1t and turning 1t black or blue.

CITY HALL REPAIRS.
Dormer Windows Being Placed on
 the Roof for Ventilation.

The board of public works Is hay ing fine job done on the roof of the City hall building and when the workmen get through the place will be in bettcr shape than ever before. Seven or eight dormer windows are being set in so that the attic will no longer be a veritable dungeon, and in addition to admitting air and sum- light into that portion of the build ing the change will be an improve ment to the ventilation all over the place. It is hinted that when the i'm provements are finished steps will be taken to fit up few offices on the third floor. This can be done at a moderate outlay. There Is lots of space and considering the demand for more room on the part of the officials 1t seems a pity to have so much valuable space idle on the third floor. The roofing Is dangerous. as one man found out who was walking close to the cave and slipped of, but fortunately grabbed some wires and held on to them until the other men hauled him in.

Tim. orously the new sheriff approached and opened the box. and tho perfume that filled the room the moment the cover was raised told plainly that some one had remembered Sheriff O'Brien.

THE BYRNE CASE
Decision Means That Mrs Slack May Keep the Boy in Op-
 position 10 Parent
MUST GIVE s1OO BOND

Judge Etheridge of Thomaston handed down his decision to-day in the case of an application for the ap- pointment of a guardian for the boy. Hugh Byrne. aged five years, who is in the custody of Mrs George Slack, of Waterville. Judge Etheridge in his memorandum says that the evidence showed plainly that the boy was re- moved from his mothers home after her death at her request, to the home of Mrs Slack. The boys father, Hugh Byrne made no objection to this, but on the contrary arranged for his care and maintenance with Mrs Slack for $2.50 a week. Later, on finding him. self unable to pay this sum he so in- formed Mrs Slack and she said she would keep the child and the father did not object. He has made no ob- jection to the boy being in the care of Mrs Slack till now, and he has not been to see him or has he inquired about him for years.
 The application for the appoint ment of a guardian was filed by the boys uncle, Peter H. Byrne, and he alleges therein that the boys father abandoned the boy and was neglect full of him. The father consented td the filing of this application.
 The court finds that the boy is well cared for. That he knows no home but that of Mrs Slack knows no moth- CT but her, knows no brothers or sisters but her children. He is happy" says the memorandum, land to remove him now and place him in the care of people who to him are strangers would have bad effect on him" ''The evidence shows" goes on the memorandum, that there is a difference of religion, but that was known when the child was taken away by Mrs Slack. For the boys physical welfare evidently no change is needed Or wise. While 1t may seem that under the circumstances it would be better to have the child raised in the religion of his fathers yet" says the memorandum, "ln view of the fathers acquiesence for the past 5 years in a known condition and the ties of affection having been formed, the court cannot find that the best interests Of the child require that he should be forcibly removed from the only home he has ever known, while care and happiness riay still be his.
 "A decree may be entered" the memorandum concludes, removing the father. Hugh ByrLe. as guardian of the child for the reason alleged iy the application and appointing Mis Slack his guardian under a bond of s100"

French Maritime strlk. Ends.


 PARIS. June 4-The extended strike of the seamen has virtually come to an end with the equalization of the strik- CTS. who are expected to resume work at the home and colonial ports today. Csptnin Lnpeyre. one of the strikers delegates. conveyed this information to Minister of Marine Thomson at a late hour last night. The firm attitude of the minister and his promise that no penalties would be inflicted apparently convinced the strikers that it would be wiser to accept the governments pro posaI to increase the pensions of sea men from s40.sO to sT2 and of ofs,eers from sl56 to s2oo . year than to con ttnue to paraIy1e commerce and thus entirely alienate the sympathy of the public, which already has been greatly strzlned.

TRAIL OF BLOOD
Prosecutor Hawley Scores Fed eratlon of Labor Timer Cir
 cile" in Opening Address.
HAYWOOD TRIAL IS ON

Boise, Idaho, June 4.-The trial of William D. Haywood, secretary and treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, charged with the murder of Frank Steunenberg, former governor of the state of Idaho, commenced in earnest this morning when at 9:30 o'clock, James Hawley. leading .coun- sel for the prosecution. made his
 opening adress to the jury, sworn i'll yesterday, to try what Is probably the most important case brought into a court in this country. Up to the pres ent the charge against Haywood has been one of murder in that he con- spired with the man Orchard, who by his own confession, it is alleged, coni- mitted the. crime.
 At $40 James H .Hawley began his address to the jury. He said that the state expected to prove that the officers and executive committee of the Vest ern Federation of Miners were respon- sible not only for the death of Cover nor Steunenberg, but for the death of scores of others. The defence object ed to this statement, but was over ruled by the court. MT Hawley went on further to state that the inner circle of the Western Federation of Miners aimed at controlling not only that organization, but the government of tho different sfates whore the or- ganlzation existed. They would prove that the Western Federation of Miners left trail of blood, traded in blood, hired paid assassins, and collected huge sums of money, which they used and squandered in carrying out tine ob- jects of the few men of the iDrer circle. During his address Mr Hawley drew an affecting word picture of tic assassination of Governor Steunenberg and of the arrest of Orchard.
 Mir. Hawley concluded his address at II: :0S, and then the first witness was called. c F. Wayne was first put on the stand and was examined by Sena- tor Borah. He was an eye witness of the killing of the goverIor. He was not cross examined. Dr Gre, who at tended the injured governor was the next witness, and he was not cross examined. Attorney Wright Of Cald- we'll testified to the presence of Or chard at Caldwell prior to the mur- der. Two other witnesses were exam ined and then recess was taken for the morning.

 Followed the Sea as a Profession.

In view of the fact that Prince Ed ward of Wales has entered Osborne Naval college 1t is interesting 70 note says London Tit-Bits, that the only royal sailor princes who have escap- ed mishap are his father, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Genoa. Somehow royal and imperial princes who have adopted seafaring life as profession seem to be pursued by i'll luck.
 The Grand Duke Alexis, lord high admiral of the Russian fleet, managed to run his yacht into Russian steamship with little damage to the latter, but injuring the yacht so much that the repairs cost 10000 ruhles.
 His brother-in-law, the Duke Of Saxe-C Coburg- -Gotha, while Duke of Edinburgh. holding rank in the Brit lsh navy, was so unfortunate as to lose his flagship, the Sultan. on a rock near Malta.
 Admiral the Prince of LeIningen also had the misfortune to run down a vessel fin the Solent while in command of the royal yacht. Queen Victoria herself being on board. Several lives were lost in this collision.
 The sailor brother of the German Emperor has hitherto escaped marI- time disaster. but his misfortunes on land have been uncommonly numerous. pecially when he has been out shoot ing. Not only did he severely injure Greek gentleman by the accidental discharge of his gun at Corfu some few years ago. but there Is also a gamekeeper of his uncrc, the Grand Duke of Baden who is h receipt of a handsome pension from the prince for a serious wound resulting from his carelessness in handling a gun.
