ARRESTED FOR HAIR CLIPPING

BosToN, March 81. Edwin c. Brown, q
years, OF 20 BOwdOin street and formerly of
Belfast, Maine, was arrested tonight charg-
ed with mutilating the hair of young
woman. A pair of scissors and several
locks OF hair were found in his pockets.
This is the second man arrested for hair
slashing within short time.
Boston papers give further particulars.
The clipping was made in front of the
fremont Theatre, when the street was
crowded. The act was seen and after a
Globe says:
He admitted everything, and as the Of
fcers searched his pockets they found three
other sections of woman's hair in addition
to that he had clipped from the head of
Miss Ornstein. A pair of scissors was also
four and five inches in length.
Brown said he had taken the three clipp-
ings of hair in ScOllay 50. Saturday night
while the sidewalk was crowded. He ex-
planned that he had an irresistible impulse
to clip women's hair whenever he saw it
that he was marked before birth, inasmuch
as his mother had her hair cut.
lie had the appearance of having been
drinking ard looked haggard and sallow as
he stood in the station house and was ques-
toned. He was very boyish looking and
was ucdtly ulcSScu Ill d udFk SulC WIN a
black derby hat, and wore light colored
tie.
When questioned by the police he admit
ted he had been doing this nefarious work
for some time, and on going to his room and
searching his trunk the officers found
dozens of hair ribbons and bows such as
young women and girls wear on the back of
the head, and many hair combs and hair
pins, as varied as numerous. Brown said
he had picked those articles up in the street.
The Globe adds: Brown is native of
Belfast, Me-, and his family live in that
place. He has lived. in this city about a
year and has been in the employ of the
Goodyear machine company. With a cousin,
q very estiMable young man, he had rOOmed
in the West End, and with one exception,
the landlady had never detected any evil
dence that he was addicted to liquor. She
said last night that he was out nights good
deal, but was always home early He did
not smoke cigarettes, she said, but used a
pipe.
Brown was arraigned Monday in the mu-
nicipal criminal court. He pleaded dot
guilty and his counsel secured continu-
ance until April 8. Bail was fixed at $500.
1t is said that the defendant may be ex-
amined by DR.. Jelly, the county alienist,
before he comes before the court again.
His counsel attributes the action charged to
the defendant to indulgence in liquor and
does not agree with the insanity theory ad.
vanced by others.

 The Citizens League cham pions the cause of the people; 1t went heartily at work to better our Frisco railroad passenger service. Twenty one letters hpse been exchanged in the dis enssion of.this matter and fin- nally ended in the passage of local bill by our legislature to compel the two trans to stop at Springdale. As most legislation of local character Is too sug- gestive of special privileges to stand the test in courts, this bill should have been relegated to the waste basket.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION
 LAST SATURDAY

The school election i'll Spring dale Saturday created more than ordinary interest. and as q result the largest vote ever cast at a school election was boiled. There were two tickets, the re- tiriug directors, ]. A. Joyce and Jno.= F Stafford, being on one ticket and W, B. Brogdon and E. 4. e,iIIett OH tie other. Follow ing Was the vote. Brogdon 150, Gillett i46, Joyce 97, Stafford 95. For iive. mil tax received 70 votes and for seven mill tax l36. The vote against tax was incon- Sequentidl. A total of 247 votes were cast The judges of the election were NJ D. Vance, A. J White aud \. Liuingef and the clerks were s. Marks and Earl -Goree.
 The unusual interest i'll the election arose from the fact that many thought the reelection of Mcssfs. Joyce aud Stafford meant the erection of new school building, and to defeat them meant the project was killed. Whether this was the correct conclusion remains to be seen.

 The weather the past week has been the best of the season for berries, and as | result the ship mcnts have been the heaviest of the season. Of the shipments the past week twelve cars were by the Shippers Union and seven by the Farmers Union. Most of the berries the past week have been sold on the track here, the price being S2.75 per crate until Wednesday when the price drop pe1 te s2.25. The drop i'll price is due to the poor grade of Der ries and the fact that Missouri berries are beginning to come i'll. The season here k drawing to d close, and the probabilities are that hy next Tuesday the car lot shipments will cease.
