GAINING UPPER HAND.
Fires at Several Washington Points
Will Soon Be Under Control.

Calais. Me. June 1O.-Although still
burning with undiminished intensity
the forest fires which for three days
have burned in the surrounding towns
of Charlotte, Robbinston, Barring and
in Calais, were tonight believed to be
in condition which assures definite
control within day or two. The de-
fences of the fire fighters are already
sufficiently ample. it is believed, to
prevent any destruction Of homes or
buildings. A heavy wind today car
ried the sparks beyond the trenches
and back-fire sites today, but the
blazes which resulted were quickly ex-
tinguished.
But little more than 10000 acres of
wild land, heavily wooded, have been
burned in the four towns since the fire
began. This area has been destroyed
in two stretches, the greater one lying
in the outskirts Of Calais and at Bar
ing while the damage in the other two
towns constitute the remainder The
original four fires are now reduced to
two, the fires in Barring and Calais
having merged as did those at Rob-
binston and Charlotte.

while his distinction in the world Of let

generally sought out by strangers.
Whether to friend or casual visitor
he was uniformly courteous. On account
Of his advanced age he had recently be-
come SO feeble that he was unable to

DR.. Hale became chaplain OF the SEN
ate on the 18th of December. 1903. He
received his appointment through Senator
Frye. who at that time was acting as
Vice President. The selection was made
at the instance OF Senator Hoar who
had been his lifelong personal friend.
During the greater time Of his term of
office DIR. Hale used Senator Frye's COM
mittee room as an Office. Accompanied
by his private secretary he would re-
pair to the senator's room half an hour
before the converting Of the Senate and
there remain receiving friends until the
time for his appearance in the Senate
chamber. He always wore long clerical
robe when officiating, and made the pray
err service of the Senate impressive rath-
err than perfunctory 1t was his habit
to repeat the Lords Prayer and for
many years after he assumed his Office
he would ask the senators to join with
him In doing so. On account. however. of
repeated failures to obtain a response he
at last desisted in this practice, but he
never himself ceased the repetition of
that prayer as part of his own offering.
AS long as he was able to do SO DIR.
Hale made it practice to visit the SEN
ators at their seats and he was person
ally known to all of them. 1t is not usual
for the Senate to take notice of the
death of one of its officers. but it is prob
able that a departure will be made in this
instance before adjournment today.
President Taft upon being informed of
DIR. Hale's death sent telegram of con-
dolence to Mrs. Hale.

Dandruff, as rule, is condition arising

Waterville, June 10.
No. Asa. Corner Store Dry Goods Co.
VS.. Ray c. Kicker. ct al. John E. Mel
son for the plaintiffs and George NJ.
Chapman for the defendants This is
an action on account annexed. and the
amount sued for is s11407. The first
charge IN the writ was made November
10th of last year and the account ran
on for about one month. Mr.. Clutter,
the credit man, and also a member of
the corporation, was the first witness.
He testified that he had had dealings
with the defendants wife. Mrs. Isabel
Kicker, and that the same had been
satisfactory as she had always paid
her bills as they became due; that at
the time of the first charge in the writ
Mr.. Kicker came into the store and
asked him for credit he wishing to buy
fur lined coat; that he told him in
the presence of his wife that he did
not know him, but did know his wife.
and that he would be glad to give him
credit if the charge could be made to
both Mr.. Kicker and his wife, and that
they both agreed to it. He further
said that he later on found that by
account were charged to Mr.. Kicker,
and the balance to Mrs. Kicker, al
though he had told his clerks, in the
presence of both husband and wife,
that the goods We're to be charged to
both together. Later on, as the account
was not paid, the suit was brought and
against both parties for the whole ac-
count. Two of the clerks of the COM
pany were present, Mr.. Simpson and
Mr.. Paul. and corroborated the state
ments of MIR. Clutter
The defendants admitted that the
goods We're purchased by them at diff
ferent times, but denied that Mrs
Kicker ever promised in any way to
become responsible for the bill of her
husband Mrs. Kicker stated that she
had goods to the amount of $46.4 and
introduced an itelnized bill sent her by
the plaintiffs for that amount. Mr.
Kicker said that he bought goods in
question on his own credit; that at
the time he bought the articles charged
November 18th, that he took fur
lined coat there and attempted to trade
It to Mr.. Clutter for new one, but
that Mr.. Clutter told him it would be
hard to sell a secondhand coat, and
that he better buy new one, leaving
his old one there and they would sell
il If they could. He said further that
Mr.. Clutter introduced him to his
clerks, telling them that he was good,
and for them to let him have all he
wanted, and that it was to be charged
to him.
