topsy. His testimony with regard to

The autopsy brought to light no indi-
cation Of violence. The rope had cut
into the neck considerably and the It's
sues were more or less discolored.
The windpipe was not much discolor-
ed and was open. If the windpipe had
been closed by the rope at the time of
death, it would have remained so. 1t

heat is resorted to in order to block
and size the hat-this softens the
shelac thus taking any shape or size
the operator wishes-Derbies or stiff
hats are composed Of the finest fur
the most expensive dies being used for
coloring-all the work and trimming is
done by experts who receive high
wages for their services-Young' s

race on the Hallowell ice track at Hal
lowell this afternoon will be one Of the
star events in Kennebec ice racing this
winter. Augusta horses which will start
are the mare Trixy S., owned by H. N.
Springer and driven by Fred Perkins,
the mare Nelsonita, owned by J. Man
ley Nichols, and the gelding Hello Bill,
owned in Damariscotta and driven by
Walter F. Webb. All of the horses
are speedy and among the fastest on
the river. the two latter mentioned be-
ing old campaigners on the ice track
and it is possible that horse or two
from Gardiner will also line up for the
