I arrived this afternoon and Colonel Roosevelt received me with his well known Delighted"
 Colonel Roosevelt and every member of the Roosevelt party is in excellent health and spirits. Colonel Roosevelt himself is as brown as berry and de- clares that he is feeling simply great, to use his own words. He is delighted with the hunting in this vicinity and has recently killed many animals which were greatly desired by the members of the Smithsonian staff in the party.
 Kermit Roosevelt himself killed a COW hippopotomus yesterday. Col onel Roosevelt laughed today at his experience of spending a day and a night without water on the desert, but declared he really did not care to go through the experience again.

GIRL LEAVES HOME
 FOR HER FAITH

New York, July 15-In a decision given yesterday by Magistrate Nau- ner in the Manhattan Avenue Court, Williamsburg, thirteen-year-old Jose phine Reil, a. Catholic. is permitted to make her home with her Catholic grandmother, Mrs. Ellen Dumphrey, of 29 South Fifth Street, in preference to going with her father and step mother. The girl left her home three weeks ago to live with her grand mother after her stepmother had tried to persuade her to change her faith and become a Presbyterian
 The stepnother learned of Jose phine's whereabouts a few days ago, and failing to persuade the girl to return home obtained a summons which brought the grandmother ito court yesterday. Magistrate Naumer, in deciding in the girls favor, told her she could remain with her grand mother until she attained that age where, if she felt so disposed, she could change her religious belief. s
 The girls father protested against the Magistrates decision, but it was of no avail. He, was directed to go to the Supreme court if he wished to get possession of his child. The girl left the courtroom with her grand mother.

More New Haven Trains Railroad to Run Them on Harlem Branch North to Stamford.

Stamford, Conn, July 15.-The New York. New Haven 6 Hartford Rail- road is about to start a train service which will give Stamford and other towns between Stamford and New Ro- chelfe nine more trains to and from New York daily. The change will go into effect next Monday it is under stood, although no announcement has
 The plan is to run Harlem River branch trains, which go no further east than New Rochelle at present, through to Stamford. Just which nine trains will be selected to run up to Stamford and back cannot be an- nounced until the official orders go out The Harlem River trains leave 129th Street and Third avenue.
 The experiment Is one of great inn portance, It means a great deal to the New York, New Haven & Hart present arrangement with the New York Central the New Haven pays a fixed rate per passenger for the priv ilege of using the Central tracks into the city, The New York & New Ha- ven owns the Harlem River branch, and of course it doesn't have to pay any tariff on passengers who travel over it.
 The experiment is the result of great deal of planning on the part of the railroad officials. That they have confidence the plan will meet with success would seem to be apparent from the way in which they have been spending money on the Harlem River branch during the past year or two. It is estimated that between &, GOO 900 and s6 OO0 900 will have been expended upon the branch alone when e1ectri1- fication of it is complete. The entire system from New York to New Ro-

CARDINAL GIBBONS
 ANSWERS BROWN

TELLS FORMER SUPREME COURT JUSTICE THAT CHRISTS TEACH ING IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE -- UNITED STATES.
 Baltimore, July 15.-Cardinal Gibbons
 in an interview replies to remarks of ex-SCpreme Court Justice Henry B. Brown on the subject of divorce before the Maryland Bar Association at Old
 Point Comfort last week.
 "In recent convention of lawyers held at Old Point Comfort" said the
 Cardinal, Justice Brown, while refer
 ring to myself in kind and courteous language. has taken exception to my
 views on divorce and remarriage. He
 is reported to have referred to the
 Founder of the Christian religion as an fdealist' whose sentiments, while suitable to less favored times and cir
 enlightened age. The learned jurist will permit me to say that the teach ings of Christ have been the basis of all Christian legislation for nearly 2,0O0 and guide. of hundreds of millions of souls.
 E we are indebted to this Divine Leg islator for the Christian civilization that rules the destinies of Europe, North and South America, Australia, and large portions of Asia and Africa. Neither Solon nor Lycurgus, nor Jus tinian nor Napoleon, nor any other framer of laws ever exerted a tthe of the influence which the Gospel Of And there is no subject which He treats more fully and clearly than the question of marriage, which is the very foundation stone of our family and social life. In three of the Gospels He proclaims the unity of marriage and permits separation of a married couple only in the case of adultery. I don't see why a law which has been enforced and cordially accepted in every age and country where Christ ianity dominates should be considered obsolete or impracticable in the United States.
 ''The multiplication of divorces,'' the Cardinal continued, "is largely ascrib- ed by some writers not to our divorce laws, but to the eager and reckless manner in which ministers of God of ficiate at marriage services. I have no word of apology or excuse for the scandalous conduct of some clergymen in this respect. But are not those per sons confounding cause for effect? D1- vorces are multiplied not because min isters willingly assist at ilI-assorted marriages, but because loose legislation on matrimony renders it easy for mar ried parties to annul the marriage bond
 ''If the civil laws of all our States were as strict as they are in South Carolina and in Canada the persons contempla ting marriage would serious ly and prayerfully reflect; they would study each others disposition and tenn perament before entering into a con- tract which would bind them for life And certainly the peace and good or der in the family life in South Carolina and Canada can be favorably compared with the domestic conditions existing in those States where divorces can be easily obtained"

JOHN A. SCOTT.

The New Principal of the Monson Academy
The trustees of Monson Academy have
elected John A. Scott of Ellsworth prin-
cipal, to begin his duties with the opening
of the fall term. Mr. Scott is a native
of Ellsworth, IS years old, and was
graduated from Bowdoin College in the
class of 1898. During his High school
days he did some newspaper work and
upon his graduation from Bowdoin he
was elected assistant to the principal of
the Ellsworth High school, which position
he held for 10 years. For the past year
he was principal of the Searsport High
school,
While superintendent of schools of
Ellsworth Mr.. Scott figured in an episode
which attracted attention all over the
State. AS required by law, Mr.. Scott
took the school census. His report show
ed marked falling off in the number of
the school age, making a considerable re-
duction in the amount of money available
to the city from the State school fund.
The mayor and other city officials claim
ed that Mr.. SCOTS census was incorrect,
and ordered the census taken by another
person. Upon the basis of the second re-
port he claimed larger number of pupils
than reported by Mr.. Scott, and asked
the legislature for $3.50 more on account
of the alleged error.
Mr.. Scott boldly charged the city Of
ficials with fraud, In letters to the Gov
ernor and legislative committee, claiming
that an attempt was being made 70 mulct
the State by incorrect census returns.
The result was that the city of Ellsworth
did not draw the $3.50, the resolve failing
of passage.
Mr.. SCOTS action cost him his position
as superintendent of schools, and he was
almost Immediately elected principal of
the Searsport High school.
Monson Academy is one of the oldest
in the county, having been founded in
1919. The town is named from Monson
Academy in Massachusetts,, to which the
original township was granted nearly a
century ago.

A HOUSE BUILT IN A DAY.

In the September Wide World Maya
zine, Mr.. Harold J. Shepstone, describes
a most remarkabl building feat which
was recently accomplished in St. Louis,
viz: the complete erection and occupation
of house in a single day. 1t was the
brides ardently-expressed wish to have
a home to 90 to that caused the builder
to attempt it; and he succeeded. Twelve
hours before the evening meal was served
the plot of land where the house was to
stand showed not the slightest Sign of
human activity. Rag-weed and golden
rod greeted the sunrise, and the scene
was absolutely innocent Of stick of
timber, piece of stone, brick, or other
material. But when the seven o'clock
whistles blew on the morning in ques-
ton, however, there was a concerted
movement of men and wagons toward
the lot
In the erection of the dwelling seventy
five thousand nails were used, eleven
thousand feet of timber cut and fitted.
twelve thousand shingles put on the roof,
six thousand laths used to make the walls,
three hundred and seventy-five yards of
plaster spread, and several gallons of
paint used.
twenty-five carpenters were employed
on the job, of whom eighteen worked ten
hours, and the remaining seven about
eleven hours each. Twelve fathers and
twelve plasterers did the lathing and
plastering in three hours. Two men
built the chimney in four hours and
forty-five minutes. Four men put the
roof on in three hours, while two men
did the plumbing and gas-fitting in five
hours. One man did the electric wiring
in one and half hours, while four men
did the necessary painting in five hours.
The builders had hardly cleared away
before large furniture van arrived, to-
gether with caterers cart. The furni-
ture van contained the owners goods,
and willing hands quickly transferred
them to their rightful places in the
record-built home. In just under an
hour the newly married couple and their
friends, who had meanwhile come upon
the scene, sat down to sumptuous din
ner. Twelve hours previously, as already
stated, not brick or stone was to have
been seen on the site of the dwelling.
