The government succeeded in getting
in the certificate authorizing the post
master at Waterville to admit Saw
yer's to the second class mail privilege
against the objection of the defence.
The ground of objection was that the
certificate was for the entry of Saw
yer'S while the Indictment alleges that
it was Sawyer's Magazine which was
admitted to the second class privileges
The argument of this point was eX-
tended.
The afternoon session was further
enlivened by the testimony of William
w. Soule, a clerk in the office at Wat
erville. His testimony was afterwards
stricken out by Judge Hale, who re-
questod that the newspapers refrain
from publishing it.

Postoffice Inspector Robinson was put
on the stand and after few pre-
| liminary questions the district attor-
ney asked him to state the conversa-
ton he had with Bosnian at the Fall
| mouth hotel in this city, after Bosnian
had been ordered here from Water
vile. The district attorney said that
what the postoffice inspector would
testify to would be confession and
asked that it be admitted as applying
| to Bosnian alone. The attorneys We're
in the midst of an argument as to ITS
admissibility when court adjourned.

ton was begun just before the close OF
the morning session, resumed the
i stand, Mr.. Philbrook oss-examined
him in regard to the name of the

heard call the publication Sawyer's

| naming several clerks in the office. H,
| said that he had not heard the publ
| cation referred to by that name by an,
| one outside of the office. In his re
ports, he said, he always referred t.
it as Sawyer's.
Asked in regard to when the system
of marking of mail sacks containing
i sample copies with n cross began, III
replied that he did not know. but tina
was the custom since he was in tn
Il Office and that was four years.

The secret of success in caring for
goldfish is TO keep the water they are in

emptied and its water renewed as often
as every second day. Lift each fish out

globe, wash it out, then put in fresh
water and put the fish back again. Clear,

temperature should be raised TO IS or
