CALVIN GRAVES PATENT.

He has an Offer of 100000 for Sewing
Machine Device.
Within a short time, unless some
disappointment intervenes, Calvin P.
Graves, until two years ago, a prisoner
in the State prison at Thomaston, serv-
ing life sentence on charge of muir
der, will be a comparatively rich man,
as rich men go in Maine. During the
10 years he spent in prison he perfect
ed an improvement on sewing ma
chimes, which he has patented, and last
week left his home in North Hancock
for New York with models and dOcu-
ments which he expects to dispose of,
in acceptance of an offer of 100000.
On Nov. 8, 1886, Calvin Graves shot
and killed Lyman O. Hill, a game war
den, and Charles Niles in the woods in
Hancock county. Hill took dog
Graves had with him and killed the
animal, claiming the dog was chasing
deer. In the passion of the moment
Graves killed Hill and Niles. He was
charged only with the murder of Hill
and was sentenced to imprisonment for
life in the State prison on April 26,
1887. At the meeting of Gov. Hill and
his council on Dec. 16, 1894, Graves
sentence was committed to % years
and with the time off for good behavior
he was released from prison in 1906,
having served more than 10 years, and
returned to his old home in North Han.
cock, where his wife and crippled son
awaited him.
While in State prison he worked in
the harness shop. While using his har-
ness sewing machine in the prison an
idea entered his head whereby a ma.
chine might be made to do nearly dou-
BILE the work of the present models.
After long study and experimenting
in his cell. he perfected the device. Al
though he said but little about it, news
of the invention leaked out and an
agent of a sewing machine manufac.
turer visited the prison, saw the model
and offered 5000 for it.
Graves told the agent that he had no
use for the money and doubted the
legal status of any negotiations as he
! was practically dead man in the eyes

MEMORIAL DAY IN MONROE.

Memorial Day was fttingly observed
in Monroe. AT 10 o'clock procession
was formed in front of the Town Hall,
consisting of E. M. Billings Post, the
Relief Corps, teachers and pupils of the
different schools and many carriages,
headed by the Monroe band, and march
ed to the cemetery, where the memoir
ial services of the Grand Army and Re-
lief Corps were performed in honor of
the nations dead. Nearly every lot in
the large cemetery was beautifully de.
corated with flowers. Over thirty flags
were placed on the graves of soldiers.
The terrace around the soldiers monu-
ment was most beautifully decorated
with flowers and flags. This monument,
one of the finest in the state, is of white
bronze and contains two hundred names
of soldiers from the revolution to the
civil war, and one woman, who was a
drummer in Washington's army. The
day was fine and the music of the band
as it floated down over the village was
most enchanting. On the return the
procession halted on the bridge and
with singing and music by the band the
water was strewn with flowers and
flags in honor of the navys honored
dead. At noon a long table was set in
the lower hall by the ladies and laden
with everything the hungry could wish
for. After dinner the band gave con-
cert outdoors. At two o'clock the hall
was we'll packed with people, who came
from all directions. Commander Frank
Batchelder called the Post to order and
after prayer and the exercises of the
post, including the reading of the roll
of honor, which is long one, fine pro-
gram was in order, consisting of music
by the band, reading and singing by the
school children and extra fine singing
by the choir. Lieut.. Wiggin of Port
land, formerly of the 10th Maine regi-
ment, gave a very interesting address
including incidents in the battle of
Gettysburg, in which that regiment
was nearly annihilated. At the close all
went home feeling that E. NJ. Billings
Post and the Ladies Relief Corps had
done its part in honor of the day and
the nations dead.

GIFT of Speech Puts Him in a Glass by
Himself.
The gift of speech is the last proof
of Divine favor, in virtue of which
mankind has the rest of the animal
kingdom faded, and stands in a class
by himself
Some beasts are stronger than men,
and some know more, but no beast
can be such a bore as a man, nor can
any beast slop over, in the true sense
of the term. These distinctions we
owe to the gift of speech.
The gift of speech, moreover, lays us
under compulsion to read a great
many things which otherwise we
would not, in order that when we
have nothing to say, we may neverthe-
less say something. Thus we promote
the publishing business, create a de-
mand for wood pulp, assist in the de-
forestation of the earth's surface, stir
up new school of kickers, increase
discomfort and contribute, at length,
to progress and petulance.
Our ancestors used to consider
speech means of concealing thought,
but we have nothing to conceal

Iu line with the recent editorializ-
ing touching the duty of q newspaper
TO publish the news, and our avOwal
of endeavoring to be fair and full in
that respect, it may not be amisS be-
fore the subject is dropped to hardle
the exceptional side OF the question
There is hardly any rule but what
will develop exceptions. The common
exceptions practiced by newspapers
that despise the scandalmongering
and sensationastic type; are what is
classed as the unmentionable group:
for instance If girl in these parts for
Sakes the path of rectitude, married
parties are guilty of incontinence OF
kindred regrettable things trans pire
from which no lesson can be giver
to the balance of humanity by comit-
ting to print. These the Herald taboos
as we propose o keep it clean and fit
to travel into the most select homes.
Nevertheless in consideration of this
group it must not be confounded with
that class covered thereby bat plainly
Indicative of publication by its Grim
inal character. The ends of justice
and the notice. of society then call
into print such lamentable evidence
of the tendency of humanity to de-
scend to aggregation.

STARS ON COINS AND FLAG.
Little HeraiGry Lore Shown in tn,
Five and Six Points.

The stars on the great seal and the
seal of the president of the United
states are five-pointed, while on the
sc al of the house of representatives
they are six-pointed. The 13 stars on
the diverse of the present half and
qu& er dollar are five-pointed. The
rev Sc of the present half and quar-
ter dollar is copy of the great seal,
except that the clouds are omitted. 1t
is evident that heraldry has not taken
very strong hold in these matters
IN the United States, therefore 1t is
not in the power of anyone to say
without a doubt why the difference in
the stars on the flag and the coins.
So far as is known, with the exception
OF the reverse of the present half and
quarter dollar, the stars on American
coins are copied from the colonial
coins, WI 'ch were, no doubt, made
after the manner of English heraldry.
while the flag was made up after the
design of Washingtons coat-of-arms.

The preservation of the game is a
question that sometimes causes SER
ious thought TO the good ctizsn this
county. The state has brought -, S a.
tutes on this question up 10 where
gooddeal Of protection is provided fors
and still more possible to inaugurate
by additional county legislation
Even total prohibition as to the
killing of game OF any character is
possible under the game chapter if
the Board of Supervisors care to so
restrict it. Thia latter idea is being
promulgated by the Missisj / D p /
branch OF the Audubon Society,
literature of which reached this office
sometime ago, but we have not had
the time nor felt could spare the
space to devote to q subject seem
ingly of so little general interest.
One of the strongest arguments urg-
ed in behalf of this complete estop-
ment as to the birds, is that it will
replenish the now much depleted
stock and yield great protection to
the farmer, whose friend the birds
are in picking worms out of the
growing crops. The conservation of
the resources of The country is a
question of such tremendous impor
lance as to have caused President
Roosevelt TO call a convocation of
governors and first men of the ma
ton this week at Washington to dis
cuSS ways and means to iudlcio lsly
b n d e for posterity. The
editor confesses that he is not lover
of the chase, nor eith1r is he so very
we'll read up on this subject, so our
views are rather in the formulative
than pronounced. Whether til e
putting on of total pro h i Ditto n
against the killing of game of any
sort for a period of three years as
as suggested by Justice Writ Thorn
son of Beat who is an advocate OF
this idea for the purpose cited and
who doesn't mind being quoted to
that effect as he wishes the public
mind to be agitated over the matter,
is for the people more directly inter
ested than we and better informed as
to its phases to ponder over and de
eide for themselves. If they want
it, we mean a majority of the several
beats of the county, we are quite
sure the Board of Supervisors will
cheerfully enact such measure
when such pressure of sentiment,
if it ever comes to exist says so.
We open our columns for few
weeks for discussion of this ques ton.
Make your articles short and to the
point

OUT IN THE OPEN

Candor is admired even though il
emphasizes the differences in views
held. The Fruitdale (Ala.) Herald
is now openly expressing itself as a
Republican sheet, though in the
midst of rock-ribbed Democratic
surrounding, hear his plant:
The Alabama friends of Gov.
Johnson of Minnesota writes us they
will furnish this paper all of the
Johnson literature we can use free of
charge, but we wrote them, declin
ing with thanks, as we are enthus-
iastically favoring the nomination of
Mr.. Bryan. believing him to be the
easiest man mentioned for either
Taft or Roosevelt to defeat.
There is no harm in the world in
Gilmer expressing his party feelings,
and we are quite sure that he has
been South long enough to be ortho-
dox on the Negro question, if he was
ever Negrophile, and all Norther-
ners are not by any means. Only
thing, be and his colleagues should
not offer or be permitted to take
in the Democratic Primaries, and
don t suppose they will.

FREEDOM OF THE
PRESS DEFENDED

There is another newspaper in
Mississippi that has recently felt
called upon to as did the HERALD,
defend itself for that liberty of ex-
preston guaran teed by the fund.-
mental laws of the land This the
Sea Coast Beacon of Pass Christian
(Miss.) and the paragraph used IS
here subjoined:
lust so long as the freedom of
the press is guaranteed under the
Constitution of the United States
and the State of Mississippi, the
Beacon will continue to comment
favOrably or unfavorable, as the facts
may merit, but always endeavoring
to be fair upon public matters and
public servants, and wherever or
whenever it is necessary to mention
names, time or place, without fear,
favor or results the advice of attor-
neys, to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. AS public journal it is with
IN our province to mention names
and acts of those in public service
and we shall certainly exercise that
right whenever it suits our
convenience.
