Curious Demonstrations
MANY WOMEN TOOK PART
Tho Action Of President FaIIleres In
Committing the Sentenced mon
strous" Murderer Severely
Condemned.

Paris, Sept. 16.-The increasing In
dignation Of the masses against the
escape from the guillotins of Soleil
liant, known as the "monstrous VIC
lator and murderer whose sentence
to death for the stracious murder Of
12-year-old girl, was committed last
week by President Fallieres to life i'm
prisonment, was expressed Sunday In
q series Of the most curious public
manifestation that have occurred in
France In long time. The demon
stration, despite the fact that several
arrests were made, was almost entire
ly an orderly one. Many women par
ticipated. 1t was organized not SO
much against Soleillant as to express
the voice Of the populace against the
wave Of unspeakable crimes commit.
cd on little girls which lately has In
creased to an alarming degree and
which It Is feared the Communication
OF the sentence Of Soleillant will only
stimulate.
Several thousand persons were en-.
gagged in demonstrations at various
points Of the city, and especially large
was the crowd in the place st. Am
bfoise, near which lived little Martha
Erberding, the victim of Solelllant.
The rage Of the women of this district
has been great since President Fal-
Heres showed clemency to Soleillant.
They assembled Sunday afternoon with
their husbands and others Of their
sympathizers and were augmented in
numbers by crowds of curious per.
sons. Their orderly cries for justice
were quickly changed to cries Of
death to soleillant," and down with
FallIeres."
As the procession, led by q woman
who carried little girl on her shout
ders with the purpose of indicating
the object Of the manifestation, moved
toward the place de Ia Republique.
Soon the streets were choked by a
vast mob and the police reserves
were called out to dispense It. The
parade, however, assembled again and
several of the more violent demon
Btrators were arrested.
Meantime other parades had been
organized In different quarters Of the
city, one in the Place Vendome, at
the Ministry Of Justice. This also
was led by a woman with a babe on
her shoulder. The crowd shouted
death to violators." At nightfall this

PROHIBITION IN MAINE.

Maine probably has, according to
population, smaller number of federal
liquor tax payers than any other State
in the Union. On Sept. 10, 1906. only
334 certificates had been issued. Of
which Al were for the sale of spirits,
fifteen Of these being held by city and
town liquor, agents, authorized to sell
for medicinal and mechanical purposes.
Among these 334 special liquor tax
payers there were also 4 brewers, II
wholesale malt liquor dealers and 2O6
retail malt liquor dealers. One of the
dealers in spirits was a wholesale drug
gist Our brewers manufactured only
soft beer. Repeated seizures and
analyses showed that it contained
about two per cent. alcohol, which our
courts hold to be Notwithstanding, al
though the federal government taxes
the manufacturer of beverages contain
ing even one per cent. Three of these
brewers pay the tax for brewing less
than five hundred barrels per year.
Harris Matson, who pays the tax for
manufacturing more than five hundred
barrels per year, conducts his business
on the ground floor of small, dilapi-
dated building at 416 Fore St., Port
land. 1t is estimated that about half
of the malt liquor dealers sci! as much
spirits as they have opportunity to
vend secretly. At the present time
these men are doing limited amount
of injury, because more than half of
them are serving terms in Jail or have
fed the State to escape Imprisonment.
A good many persons have paid both
the beer and spirit tax, but are selling
neither at this time.
OF $3.50 murders and homicides in the
United States last year, Maine furnish
ed 3. There were III persons in our
State prison at the end of last year.
Maine has not distiller, or rectifer, or
brewer of Intoxicating beer, or open
bar-room, except the canteen at the
National Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers at Togus, and concealed selling
is not attractive to customers except Of
a very undlscriminating class. 1t is
estimated that drink costs our country
1900, 100000 and $4,000 lives per year.
Maine has nearly one hundredth of the
nations population, but probably does
not furnish one fourth of its quota of
$13, ZOO, 600 and 900 lives to this modern
Moloch of the liquor traffic.-H- n. P,

Literary News and Notes.

Ii the farmer boy is more successful
in his catch than the city fiserman, it is
because he realizes the advantage of
keeping out of sight. OF course, the
supposition is that other conditions are
equal. Familiarity with stream often
has much to do with the size of string.
Trout especially love to hide under
wooden bridges, water-soaked logs,
branches, etc. They seem to realize
that safety is found in such places.
When the current will not take the
worm to these spots, one must resort to
flirting" This is done by holding the
hook in the left hand anu bending the
pole until the tension is sufficient to
throw the worm over the spot. Consid-
cradle practise Is necessary to make the
bait land exactly where it is wanted,
but flirting" is an art we'll worth &C
quiring.-From the April Circle.
For everything that the healthy,
wide-awake boy delights in, the April
number of The American Boy stands
second to noon in its class. The fine
serials, "Otf the Reservation" SIN de-
Tense Of His Flag" ''The Camp Fire of
Mad Anthony "The Young Book
Agent" and Tad" are continued.
Among the short stories are: ga Burr
ed Treasure" telling of the search
made by two boys and what they found ;
''Treed With a Bear" an exciting ex-
perience with bruin in a tree, and "The
Llll Boy" a story of the mining camps
of the West. For the athletic boy there
are: ''How to Become Strong" and
''The Boy on His Muscle" The boy
who wants to know about successful
men will be interested in Excepting Tab
on the World and "Chats With Big
Americans" the latter being an inter
view with the renowned bandmaster
and composer OF music of music, John
Philip Sousa. "The Frog" "Wild Cats
on the British Isles and Boys Fishes
and How to Catch Them" will prove
good reading to the students of natural
history aud the angler. There is also a
fine article on 'How the Birthplace of
Old Glory Will Look When Restored as
a National Relic" Boys who want to
do things will find plenty to choose from
in: The Boys Poultry Yard, Practical
Furniture Making for Boys, and Card
Writing for Boys. The regular depart
ments of The Boy Photographer;
Stamps, Coins and Curios; Tangles; The
Boy Mechanic and Electrician, and The
o. a. B. are filed with good things.
Special announcement is made concern
ing American Boy Day at the James
town Exposition on July 5th, to be
held under the direction Of the editor,
the publishers offering three prizes of
Twenty-Five Dollars each for the best
essay on ''The Settlement at James
