protection. yet It must he regarded as
practically confession that those with
controlling voices in the government of
Portugal today are the Same who con.
nived at and brought about the assas-
sinations If these deductions are cor
rect, Portugal is today like Servia,
ruled by regicides, the king in each in
stance being merely a puppet who must
dance when the string Is pulled by u
band of murderous politicians
The Portuguese consplrators should
learn from Servia that conspiracies do
not pay even when they seem to sue
coed. The King OF that country is

the hands of the regicides The papers

crowded congregation in the cathedral

powerful sermon for the Obrenovitch

1908 The preacher was a military

the first words from the pulpit aroused
at once admiration and CONSERVATION.

MY conscience will not allow me to
pass over the national Importance OF
this date, so closely associated with
the memory of the great Obrenovitch
dynasty. Milosh the Great on Palm
sunday raised the flag of revolt against
Moslem oppressors. and his son, Michael
the Martyr, on this day took peaceful
possession of their last stronghold. His
bones are in this church, an eternal
reminder of what we owe. Shame oil

of that patriot prnce Glory TO the
obrenovitch rulers, glory"
The congregation, it is said, joined in
enthusiastically, and the King, rigid,
stared fixedly in front of him. The
delivery OF such a sermon IN presence
OF the Metropolitan, who was, of course.
previously informed OF its tendency,
gives a double significance to the dar-
ing policy of the clergy
Portugal and Servia should both re-
member that the blood shed by assas-
sins cries to heaven for vengeance and
becomes a curse upon throne.

FrauduIent Mail order scheme,

BostOn.-On all three counts in the
indictment accusing them of using the
mail pursuant to a scheme to defraud,
William /. Alkon, Harris Alkon and
Thomas c. Scottron were found guilty
by jury in the United States district
court, recently. Bail of the Alkon
brothers was increased from $500 to
$4,000 each. In default of bail both
were committed to Jail.
The case was on trial several days.
A fourth defendant, Harry. Barrish,
turned states evidence, disclosing the
entire fraud. The penalty for each Of
fence Is fine Of not more than $500
or imprisonment Of not more than is
months, or both.
Merchants were Swindled by the
scheme out of about $4,000 worth Of
goods according to the testimony OF
Barrish. About year ago BarTish and
William l. AJkon were convicted of
conspiring to conceal assets OF the for
mer from his trustee in bankruptcy.
During that trial efforts were made to
bribe the jury, Barrish said on the
stand in the latter trial. Barrish was
sentenced to six months and Alkon
was sentenced to year and fined
$1,000. The cases were appealed to the
q. 8. circuit court Of appeals and are
now pending.
Two other men were indicted with
the AIkons, Barrish and Scottron, but
they lost all their possessions in the
Chelsea fire and their trial was post
poned.

WANT. Approprlatlon Made.

Washington.-President Roosevelt
will veto the naval appropriation bill
should the senate, like the house, fail
to make any appropriation for the two
battleships which are authorized in
that measure.
The prompt announcement Of this
fact to senate leaders is regarded as
responsible for the announcement by
Senator Hale, chairman Of the senate
naval committee, that he should pro-
pose an amendment appropriating $7,-
100000 toward the construction Of
these ships.
The president stated his position
on this point emphatically upon
learning that the bill, as passed by the
house, was simply paper" provision
for naval increase with no money to
make the provision effective. Such
legislation as this, the president made
known to his numerous congressional
callers, was a trayesty as to effective
ness and bore all the ear marks Of
legislative legerdemain.
There is not the slightest indication
that the president has ceased his fight
for four new battleships, according
10 the senators who talked with him.

Mavoraltx Recount TrIaI opens.

New York-The jury which VIII
serve in the quo warranto proceedings
instituted against George B. McClel-
Ian, as mayor of New York, by Atty.
Gen. Jackson, has been completed.
Attorney Richards promptly out
lined the case for the defence. He
spoke briefly and at the conclusion OF
his address put in evidence Mayor Nc
Clellan's certificSte of election and his
oath of office. He then announced that
"the mayors case rests"
Atty. Gen. Jackson's opening for
the people was succinct, being con-
fined to a resume Of the recount case
since its inception. Ex-Election Com
missioner John r. Voorhees, was the
first witness for the people and gave
testimony regarding the disposition
made of the ballot boxes and ballots
cast in the mayoralty contest after the
election was over. The ballot boxes,
with their contents, in all five bor-
oughs, the witness declared, had been
carefully guarded in storage ware
houses.
Clarence J. Shearn, one Of counsel
for William r. Hearst, said that like
ly week would be consumed in TAX
ing general testimony before the bal
lot boxes were reoDened.

Big Main e Pine.

There are evidently some big pine
trees left up in the northwestern
part of the State. Here is a descrip-
ton Of one of them sent by C. w.
Bdgerly, of Old Town, scaler at the
lumber camp of Flavien Choumard,
on the northwest branch of the st.
John River.
This pine had three branches, and
the tree was three feet ten inches
through at the butt log. From the
tree were taken but two butt logs,
each sixteen feet long, and four logs
fourteen feet long we're taken from
each of the branches. The top log
was thirteen inches through at the
top. All of these logs were sound
white pine. Besides these logs one
piece eight feet long at the forks OF
the branches was left in the woods.
Fourteen logs from one pine is
certainly a good record, and shows
that all the monarchs of the forest
from which Maine takes her name of
the Pine Tree State are not gene yet.
