mains In Unused Room.
(By Associated Press.)

Foxcroft, Me-, Feb. 1S.-The mystery
of the disappearance of Mrs Maude

been seen since Nov. 4, last, was solved
| today when officers making an investi-
cation discovered the body of Mrs.

the four-story lodging house known
as the Exchange hotel
Immediately after the finding of the
body Mr.. Woodbury. was detained by
the police and is now under guard
pending the result OF the soroners jury
which will be held tomorrow by Cor

shut up the house, turning out his
other dodgers, and went to live with a
sister on River street
1t was evident that the woman had
been dead for many weeks. The body
was fully clothed and there were 40
evidences of a struggle in the room.
Mr.. Woodbury. is about SO years Old
and his wife's age was 3S years. The
couple were married eight years ago,
the woman being Mr. Woodbury's third
wife. 1t is claimed their married life
had not been happy.

Mrs. Woodbury., with many circum-
stances which have occurred since and
the untiring efforts which have been
made by the husband, Herbert Wood
bury. and others to find some trace of
the missing woman, has deeply stirred
the citizens of both Foxcroft and
Dover
When Mrs. Woodbury. disappeared
on Nov 4, it was thought that possibly
the woman had only left her home
temporarily. as she had done once or
troubles. when in each case she had
returned three or four days after.
When Mrs Woodbury. disappeared
last time her husband told friends, it
is claimed. that he had had a quarrel
by a LOGGER in the house, and he SEEM
ed anxious to do all in his power to
find out where his wife had gone and
to have her return to him.
The Exchange hotel. which was own
ed by Woodbury., is a large four-story
affair which ordinarily accommodates
some % dodgers. Last fail there were
only eight people in the house, how
ever, and Mrs. Woodbury. concerned
herself with providing board for her
dodgers and taking care of the rooms.
On the day on which she disappeared.
Mr.. Woodbury. turned out few lodg-
ers and Immediately closed up the
place, going to live with his sister,
Miss Woodbury., who lives on River
street.

was closed. Mr.. Woodbury. advertised

ing ill health as the cause for his go

That MIR. Woodbury. was in ill health
was shown by the frequent visits of A
local physician, who ascribed his con-
dition to weakness of the heart. All

townspeople as to what had become of

Character begins in the cradle.
Stolen Antiquities.

1t is asserted by good authority that
nearly all the rare art antiquities to
be found in the museums of various
countries have at some time in their
history been the possession of thieves.
Valuable vestments and rare old paint
ings are stolen every year from
churches where they are valued more
highly than gold OF their own weight.
A gentleman well versed in such
matters tells us that Napoleon stole
the nose from of the Sphinx that he
might carry 1t home as relic to be
placed in a curio museum. And had
not the Pyramids been of such pro-
portion and weight they would now
be gracing the different museums Of
the world. reposing in fragments in
glass-fronted cases.

Another attempt was made after

DEFENSE OF THE BACHELOR.
Baltimore Man Points Out a Few
Facts Generally Overlooked.

AS matter of fact, it is obvious
that more crimes are committed by
married men than by single men, for
the simple reason THAT many offenses
exceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible to the latter.
One such crime is wife murder. How
could single man murder his wife?
There are IT'S wife murderers in the
United States every year, and all are
committed by married men. Again,
consider the crime of demonicide, or
mother-in-law killing. Its practice is
confined entirely to married men. And
forget not the lesser felonies and mis-
demeanors. How could a single man
elope with his wife's sister? How
could he desert his children? How
could he commit bigamy? How could
he fiirt with his wife's maid? How
could he be accused of non-support?
What incentive is there for him to
cheat the gas meter, swindle the in
stalment man or rob his brotherin-
law at poker? Being prosperous, well
fed and happy-as all bachelors are
why should he steal, forge, embezzle,
burgle or fght?-Baltimore Sun.
