ID blow up Frank Cores
House With Dynamite
is NE ehalgs Against Ato|'
pms England Of Sidney.
NJ Accuses Mrs. annette hastings
0f BeIng Behind Plot.

Adolphus England of Sidney was
held under $4,000 bonds for theA grand
iury Friday morning in the Augusta
municipal court by Judge Maher upon
the charge of threatening to blow up
the buildings of Frank Coro OF the
same town with dynamite, st,t.
Mrs. Annette G. Hastings, wife, or
Gorham X. Hastings at whose house
England lived, was the principal wit
ness against the respondent. She
testified that England had been at the
house since February. and lately had
trouble Which made. it necessary for
him to leave. He had brought the
dynamite to the house in q dress suit
case and had threatened to blow up the
house Of Coro if he was obliged TO
leave the Hastings place. Witness al
so testified that the respondent had
threatened to burn both the Hastings
and Coro places. ,.. ..- ...,......
England denied making the alleged
threats and said at first that he got
the dynamite to blow out rocks in the
highway, but afterwards declared that
Mrs. Hastings had given him the money
with which to buy the dynamite and
suggested that he blow up CoroS build
ings with it.
The warrant against England was
sworn out by Gorham *. Hastings and
f. W. Whitehouse of this city was
counsel for the prosecution. England
was not represented by counsel and
was allowed to interrogate Mrs. Hast
ings while she was on the stand.
Judge Maher found probable cause
and held England to the grand jury.
He was unable to furnish the amount
of bail demanded and was committed
to the Kennebec county Jail. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hastings and Frank Coro were
each compelled to recognize in the sum
Of $1,000 for their appearance at the
January term of the superior court as
material witnesses in the case.
The case is a peculiar one and some
sensational developments are expected
when it is tried in the superior court.

Advice About the Hair.

Doctor Lassar, the famous German
professor, says the first step toward
stopping the falling of hair, itching
scalp and dandruff is to keep the scalp
clean by washing. This should be done
daily in the beginning, and as the
scalp assumes a more normal condi-
ton, the head can be washed less fire.
quently. In any event. the head and
hair should be cleansed at least twice
a week with reliable wash. The old
idea that shampoo once a month or
two was sufficient is positively wrong.
There is no remedy for the hair Of
any special value unless it cleanses
and restores the scalp to a healthy,
soft, smooth, natural condition. Birts

TUFTS COLLEGE PRESIDENT
Occupies Pulpit Of Universalist Church
Sunday Morning and Evening.

Rev. Frederick w. Hamilton. IL. d.,
occupied the pulpit Of the Un;versalist
church Sunday morning and evening,
addressing large congregations i'm both
instances. Dr.. Hamilton, who is the
president of Tufts College and one of
the leading Universalist clergymen of
New England, is an able and convinc-
ing speaker and was listened to with
close attention at both services.
The subject OF the morning sermon
was THE Message of Universalism to
the Goth Century" He declared that
Goth Century Universalism should
teach first, that this is Gods world
and we are all his children doing his
work; second, the supremacy of the
moral law, and third, the supreme
value Of the Individual soul. What
mcn need more than anything else
today said pr. Hamilton, lis to be
taught the fundamental idea that God
exists" He drew a graphic picture
of the advantage of the business man
Of today over his predecessor of 100
years ago and declared that there were
more comforts in the home Of the
mechanic of today than in the home
of the wealthiest man in the country
100 years ago.
The subject of DR.. Hamilton's even
ing address was 1.-The Relation of the
Church to Reform" The speaker be-
gan by alluding to st. Paul's descrlp-
tion Of the good citizen, found in the
18th chapter Of Romans and pointed
out the difference between citizenship
i'll the Roman empire and citizenship
;, he. ran,,hiin I1n said in
part:
"St. Paurs description of the good
citizen is based on three things. First,
he should obey the government; Sec
ond, he should support the govern
nent: third, he should live a person.
ally clean and honorable life. Citizen
ship in the American republic is far
different from what it was in Rome,
for the government we have is good
or bad, as we make it so. 1t is our
duty to make the government better
as well as support it, and also our duty
not only to live, clean and honorable
lives ourselves, but to try to help
others to do so! That is where the
church and the various reform move
ments come in and all efforts to se-
cure better government and better
lives.
cit is not the function of the Chris
tan church to identify itself specifical-
ly with any reform movement, such
for example as the labor movement,
women's Suffrage. single tax, Social
ism, or any of the various movements
that are now on foot. 1t is the bust
ness Of the Christian church to estab-
lish certain principles for the guidance
of the lives OF it's members and TO
make it's members feel that it is the
duty Of every one to do something to
make the world better, what that
something is being for the individual
to decide. Men see things differently,
they perceive different needs and are
interested in different movements. All
ought to get inspiration from the
church. If the church Identifies itself
with any one movement or any one set
of opinions it limits it's usefulness to
that particular field of endeavor, omit
ting tine others. The church ought to
be great power-house where power
is generated, which is applied in
great many different ways
