A learned German scientist
finds that the Pharaoh who re
fused to let Moses and his COM
patriots leave Egypt had the
govt and toothache. His name
was Menephtah. He was five
feet eight and half inches tall,
and died in 1915 B. c., at the
age of 60. He was a high liver,
fat and bald-from which it
might be inferred that he was
IA very bad man, taking the best
seat at the table as we'll as the
front seat at the theatre, The
chalky degeneration of his or
gans indicates gout, and cavi-
ties in his teeth show he had
toothache. A man in his fix
is seldom amiable, and his re-
fusal to let the Children of Is
raeI go is not surprising. He
was cross and must have made
life a burden for his family.
Had his health been better and
his blood vessels less chalky he
might have given. Moses a
hearty send-of and have even
loaned him his auto. Who
knows?

cussion the resolution endorsing
Bryan was adopted. Mr.. Ay.
cock said that he vas not a can

for the resolution regretted that
it was introduced, as the

BARLEY NEGRO WILL FINALLY
PAY PENALTY AFTER
THREE RESPlTES.

With death staring him in the face,
Neal Ryals, negro condemned to
hang on Friday next, is still hopeful
and believes that Governor Hoke
Smith will again interfere with the ex-
ecution
u am not guilty of the crime
charged against me, and | VIII die an
innocent man, was the statement as
made by Ryals this morning to a News
reporter.
Already four respites have been
granted the negro by the governor.
but Monday a week ago, he stated
that he would not interfere again with
the execution, which is to take place
at Bailey, Ga, on Friday, September
III, between the hours of II o'clock
noon and , o'clock in the afternoon.
Occupying a cell on murderers' row
at the Bibb county Jail, Ryals with
another negro charged with murd r,
spends his time in talking over his
case.
When the crime was committed,
one year ago this month, a large mob
was formed at Bailey and for weeks
they secured the woods in that sec
ticn of the state, hoping to find the
negro, and in case they had the
chances are that he would have been
lynched He was caught, however, by
seyeral officers and for three months
was an inmate in the Glynn county
Jail at Brunswick, Ga.
He was later brought to the Bib
county Jail and has been confined be-
hind the bars here for several months
The last date Of the execution was
set for August IA and on the night
Ct the 18th Sheriff Branch and two
deputies arrived in Macon to carry the
NEGRO to Bailey. While waiting for
the train at the Southern depot a re-
spite was received from Governor
Smith and RIVALS was again carried
back to his cell in the county jail"

which is now in its fourteenth year
is as attractive and entertaining as
ever. This season an entirely new
version + the enduring comedy is Of
fered and the result is one OF the
most pretentious and thoroughly up-to
date productions ever offered to the
atre-gOers The fun while of brisk,
lively nature, is 4ull clean and whole
some. There is not the least sugges-
ton Cf vulgarity or horse play, and
the situations while sid splitting, are
not at all improbable. Specialties of
the kind that would lift any similar
offering above the commonplace are
introduced. and musical numbers, with
catchy, tuneful melodies, are scattered
throughout the action of the play The
scenery is on the spectacular order
and is carried complete for the pro-
duction. The cast is composed OF
sixty persons, all capable in their
particular field of merrymaking The
singing chorus includes thirty as be
witching and beautiful young womer
as ever mustered i'll any theatrica

are better and more original in design
than any shown here in years.

A Comparison That Tells.

AS the campaign nears the Wlnd-up
tho ncople are making their COMPARE
sons between the rival candidates 1or
Governor. just as they will IN Novem-
Der make their comparisons between
the rival candidates for President.
And what is the conclusion?
There is only one for the man VINO
wasn't born a Democrat or born
Republican." 1t is the inevitable con-
clusion between business and politics.
Mr.. Fernald. who is the Repuhilcah
candidate for Governor, has been talk
ing business to the people of Name
lust as Judge Taft has been talking
business to the people of the whole
nation, and Mr.. Gardner, who Is the
Democratic candidate for Governor
has been talking politics. just as Mr..
BRYAN has been talking politics to the
nation Like Mr. Bryan. Mr.. Gardner
reaches forth and annexes any and ev-
erything which seems to promise
temporary advantage. Like Mr. Iatt'
Mr.. Fernald candidly discusses exist
ing conditions and tells the people how
he believes conditions may be bettered
in the future.
Everywhere that Mr.. Gardner has
gone he has left the impression OF one
who hopes to catch votes by catch
nhrase. To ally the strength of those
who do not believe in prohlpiiloh lie
has said that he would rather nave
rumshop on every corner running full
blast for the next 20 years than
endure the hypocrisy that prohiblt'oh
has bred. But when he was nettied Il
few years ago by the printing or sur
no made on prohibition Maine he told
the state Grange that he said that ne
wished to go on record as entirely and
unreseryedly in favor of the prohibit
tory law of Maine. This is but one IN
stance, but it shows the inslncerity Oh
tho nresent Democratic campaign ana
II ,,uts Mr.. Gardner before the people
in the light of a Bryan opportunlst--a
candidate who will espouse any poilcy
which PROMISES a fleeting advantage.
On the other <hand. where Mr.. Fer
maid has spoken. the people have hearo
the views of a man who has won MS
way in Maine. who believes Maine is
the best state there is ana WHO IL

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
They Give Maine Up.
portland EXpreSS.)

TIE chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional committee gives Maine up. He
says that the National organization will
do nothing to help in Maine because 1t
is horelessly Republican State That is
true enough, and it shows good sense on
the part OF the National chairman, but it
is rather cold comfort for those who are
struggling to get control of our State
Government. However, Mr.. Mack cannot
be blamed. In the first place effort to
carry Maine for the Democrats is effort
vested, as has been repeatedly shown,
and it will! be shown again this year. In
the second place there is no desire on the
part of the leaders of the Democratic par
ty in Maine to help the Bryan cause. Mr..
Mack and Mr.. Bryan understand that
Bryan came to Maine last winter dels ga
lions from the leaders of the Maine De-
mocracy made every possible effort to
prevent him from coming. The man who
was then chairman Of the Democratic
State committee and who has since heen
elevated TO membership on the National
committee refused to attend his meeting
in Bangor, and plainly sighted the dis
tineuished guest Of the State. The lead
ing Democratic papers 90 not pretend to
have any interest in the Bryan candidacy.
and if any Democrat doubts that let him
watch for editorials urging the party men
of the State to stand by the ticket for
the sake of helping Bryan. There has
hardly been n kindly word mentioned Cor
Bryan since it became known that he
would be a candidate. The nearest that
we remember of anything Of this sort
was the suggestion by one of the leading
papers. that if Eiyan was to be nominal
ted at all perhaps it would be better if he
were nominated by reclamation. but the
new member of the National committee
did not even agree with that proposition,
since as one Of the Maine delegation, he
voted against Mr.. Bryan at Denver

The Platforms Labor Plank.

At the next session of the Legisla-
ture organized labor will concentrate
it's forces upon the passage of a s.
hour law. That is the chief thing
which labor desires of the Maine law
makers In this connection, it is well
to re-read the Republican platform,
particularly that section which says:
Eve approve of the legislation on
our statute books looking to the pro-
lection of children employed in our
factories and shops and we urge upon
our Legislature the propriety of con-
sidering a reduction of the hours Of
labor from so to So per week for
women and minors of our State"
That is the platform, and on the
stump the Republican candidate for
Governor has been emphatically telling
the people that the proposition meets
his approval and that it will have his
support when he becomes the States
chief executive.

The AndrCscoggin situation is much
the same as that in Kennebec county.
except that in Androscoggin the
Democratic ring is a little larger and
more of its members have succeeded in
sneaking into office. The Lewiston

ring system over in Androscoggin:
"Androscoggin county is in the clutch
of Democratic ring that coOlly appro-

as the edicts of the Tsar of Russia.
1t meets in back Offices and Goes its
