Mr.. Burns now claims that he should

that he should also be paid for the

YORK AND YORKTOWN.
Another Lively Hearing Expected Be-
fore Committee on Towns.

The hearing Thursday afternoon before
the committee on towns in regard to the
nivision of the town of York and the es-
tablishing of the town of Yorktown
promises to be one of the liveliest of the
several lively hearings held during the
present session in which the York county
delegation and their constituents have fig
ured.
John C. Stewart, E. S. Marshall and j.
W. Simpson of York, who are in favor of
the division of the town, are already in
Augusta and large representation of the
remonstrants, including most of the town
officers and Chairman S. w. Junkins of
the county commissioners, will be here
in season for the hearing Thursday.
A short time ago petition was circu-
lated in the town of York for the hold
ing Of a special town meeting to accept
the $4,000 drawbridge, which is largely
responsible for the proposition of divid-
ing the ancient town, the acceptance of
the bridge being conditional upon the
withdrawal of the proposition to divide
the town. The petition was not favorably
received and so the hearing upon the bill
to divide the town is to be held as adver-
tised.
Said one of the remonstrants against
the measure Thursday night: According
to the bill which has been presented, the
portion of the town to be set off mnder
the name of Yorktown will embrace one
third of the towns territory and two
thirds of the valuation. two-thirds of the
population and but one-third of the pub
lie roads, leaving about 100 miles of high
way in the old town of York The new
town will also include in it's borders the

MEDICAL EXPERTS.
Considerable Opposition Manlfestee al
Hearina Before judiciary Committee.

The hill to provide for the appoint
mont of medical experts in court trlais
nv the presiding justice met with quite
a hit Of opposition at the hearing pc
fore the committee on Judiciary this
afternoon.
DR.. H. w. Mitchell, the superintend-
ont of the Eastern Maine Insane hos
nital at Bangor, briefly explained the
bill. saying that it PROVIDES ior Wy
annointment of the experts by the
court but did not prevent the seleclloii
of experts by either side II 1t so oe-
sired.
Hon. Charles f. Libby Of Portland
said that this matter had peeh u's-
cussed at the meetings OF the Aldiiit
Par Association, and he thought thd'
it would do no harm to try the eN-
nerinent in this State. he thouSli.
that there was growing sentiment
in the medical profession for sucn
law.
Questioned bv Mr.. Hersey OF Hou'-
ton. a member of the committee MI
1ihhv stated that he did not believe
that the law would prevent doctors or
medical men from disagreeing. Inc
contradictory evidence by experts is
getting to be an evil in the courts anu
he thought that the passage OF law
of this nature would tend to check this
evil. Mr. Libby thought that the law
should be first applied in the trial OF
civil cases.
DR.. ]. A. Donovan Of Lewiston stat
ed that there was much dissatisfaction,
especially among the older members of
the medical profession, with the man
ner of giving expert evidence, but he
had no sympathy with the proposed
bill as it gave no assistance. Dr. \.
M. Garcelon of Lewiston stated that II
there was any sentiment among the
medical profession for this bill he had
failed to find it. He was strongly OPP
posed to the measure.
Senator Shaw of kennebac, who in
troduced the bill, said that he did not
favor it after a careful study. Medical
men are united in the fact that medl-
cal testimony is not handled as 1t
should be in court, but he thought that
there would be no relief in the event
OF the passage of this proposed bill.
DIR. J. f. Hill of Waterville said that
he favored the idea in the bill but he
thought that it did not cover the
ground.
Representative Edwards of Lewiston
said that not feature of the bill was
recommended by the medical profess
sion.

ALMOND TOILET CREAMS

Almonds, the Jordan variety. such as
are used for candies and sailing. have
marked virtue in toilet preparations. for
emulsions made from them and used con-
stantly impart Wilderness and softness TO
the skin and have an agreeable odor.
Bitter almonds, used in small quantities,
are bleaching and astringent-that is,
have those elements, but preparations
made from them are usually more diff
cult to make than should be attempted
by amateurs.
Almond milk was a lotion in which our
grandmothers had unlimited faith for i'm

making it is required. Beyond tR5S II Is

consists in plunging the nuts. after they

they stand for a couple of minutes. The
