Looking for Lead Poisoning.

The state board of health is sending
out letters to physicians stating that the
work in the laboratory of hygiene and
that done by Prof. Robinson at Bruins
wick both indicate that in many parts OF
the state where lead pipe is much used
for bringing water into houses or stables,
the water dissolves the lead quite freely
and as result symptoms Of chronic lead
poisoning have accompanied the use OF
the water.
The letter further says:
"As some of these samples of lead
polluted water have been sent by you OF
have come from places not far from you,
would thank you for any information
you can give me in answer to the follow
ing questions: ..,,
"Have you known of any cases of Ill
ness which were, or probably were, due
to the use of lead-polluted waterp"
"If so, please give brief history Of
the case-subje and objective symp'
toms.
eff you have any cases Of i'll health
among the users of water which coma
through lead pipe, which you suspect
may be due to lead poisoning, the labora
tory of the board is at your service TO-
the determination whether the wate
contains lead.
81 shall feel under great obligations t.
you If you can help me investigate tbi
matter in your part of the state.'

haskell-Jewett.

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Algernon
C. Jewett in Denmark Tuesday after
noon, Jan. 10, occurred the marriage OF
their daughter, Miss Florence NJ. Jewett,
and Edwin n. Haskell of South Paris.
The very pretty decorations for the occa-
sion were of smilax and pinks.
Rev. A. X. Baldwin of Brunswick
officiated at the ceremony, the double
ring service being used. The bride was
gowned in white wool batiste with white
messaline trimmings, wore bridal veil,
and carried bouquet of white roses.
Her travelling suit was of navy blue.
After the ceremony reception was
given, at which a large number OF
friends were present, and refreshments
were served.
Among out-of-town guests present
were Miss Emma W. Haskell and Miss
Hattie l.. Haskell, sisters of the groom,
Mrs. Dora B. Greene, his aunt, and Miss
Eva Z Walker, a cousin of the bride, all
of South Paris.
A large number of beautiful and valu'
able gifts were received.
The newly married couple left on the
afternoon train for short trip which
includes Boston in the itinerary. They
are expected to arrive the last of this
week at South Paris, where they will
make their home at the Haskell home
stead.
Mr. Haskell is member of the firm
of Y. Dayton Bolster & Co., who run
large general store at South Paris. He
is held in the highest esteem by every
one, and universally liked. The bride
was for some years an assistant teacher
in the Paris High School, resigning thai
position to take the position of superin
tendent of schools in her own town OF
Denmark. She has a large circle OF
acquaintance and an equally large circle
of friends, and Mr.. and Mrs. Haskell
have the congratulations and best wishes
of all who know them.

Maine News Notes.

Mrs. Louisa Skeetop, an inmate OF the
town farm at Brunswick, died Wednes.
day from the effects of burns received
the same day. when her clothing caught
fire from lamp. She was 81 years OF
age.
Fred 1. Campbell of Cherryfield died
suddenly while attending court at
Machias. He was former county at.
torney Of Washington County and q
member of the legislature, and achieved
special fame as the father of the hedge
hog law, placing q bounty on those
prickly animals, which produced such
surprising results.
The Maine Central is now fitting five
of its locomotives to burn oil instead OF
coal. 1t ls understood that even If they
are successful IN this, the direct expense
of running will be rather more than with
coal, but these locomotives will be used
on the Rangeley and Somerset divisions
where the road runs through the woods,
and It Is hoped to avoid setting forest
fires during dry time, as has been done
SO much by the coal burning locomotives
During his recent visit to Maine, FL
bert Hubbard visited the Maine state
prison, and in connection with the mis-
sion furniture manufactured there, made
the remark: "Mr. Warden, we do thi
sort OF thing at the Roycroft shop, but
no better. II you are here when any Of
these men who make this furniture ar
discharged. wish you would send then
to me at East Aurora. I'll give then
work. They need no other recommends
lions than that they come from tn

Double Suicide at Mexico.
ARTHUR GLEASON AND MRS. AMY SNOW
BOTH DIE FROM POISON.

Two cases of suicide occurred in the
town of Mexico Thursday night, the
parties being Arthur Gleason, native
of that town who has always lived there,
and Mrs. Amy Snow, who was employed
in the Rumford bag mill and had room
at Ridlonville. The two had been keep
ing company for some time. Both
deaths were from poison.
Mr.. Gleason was taken i'll Thursday
night, and DR.. Hsnlon, who was called,
pronounced it a case of poisoning.
At about the same time 1t was noted
that Mrs. Snow had not been seen out
side her room since Wednesday night,
when Mr.. Gleason accompanied her
home from a show, though 1t was
thought that she might have gone to
working nights and sleeping days. Her
room, which was locked, was entered,
and her body was found lying in night
clothes, twisted as if she had died In
agony. The lamp was burning.
DR.. Hanlon was summoned, and ex-
pressed the opinion that death was due
to poison, and probably the same kind
of poison that caused the death OF Mr..
Gleason.
Mrs. Snow is survived by a husband
and two children, seven and five years OF
age. They kept house in Mexico until
about year ago, when he went to Con.
way Center, N. a., taking the children
with him. He is now living in Penn
broke, Mass.
Gleason was 2S years of age and Mrs
Snow about 80.
Coroner H. L. Elliott held an inquest
Friday in the case of Mrs. Snow, and
| verdict was returned that the woman
committed suicide by drinking bichloridt
of mercury.

administration that is doing the
prosecution right now. The In
surgents have nothing to do with
the prosecution.
To take the tariff off of sugar would
hurt the cane and beet growers and
The consumer couldn't buy sugar any
cheaper. The duty was taken off of
coffee. Does coffee sell for less
money? Coffee is imported at about
an average price of ten cents
pound. 1t is sold at an average price
of 25 cents pound. A difference of
5 cents in favor of the seller and
against the consumer. Sugar Is fire.
quently bought and sold with barely
cent on the pound between the seller
and buyer.
The Way to Cheaper Things.
The way to get things cheaper, it is
argued by the Insurgents, is to reduce
the tariff. Then take the tariff off of
everything and go at once to free trade
What is a tariff for? First to provide
revenue for government expenses and
thus save the people from direct taxa
tion-save them from paying direct
taxes to the nation as they now pay to
support the county, schools and state
What else is the tariff for? To MAIN
tain home market for home goods
and people-give articles made at home
the advantage over articles made else
where. What does this do? Gives en-
ployment to men who make the articles
at double the wages paid in other coun-
tries-gives the farmers who feed the
workmen good prices for their products
The tariff averages about 40 per cent
on importations and 400 million dollars
or more are turned in the United States
treasury by duties paid on articles
made in other countries.
Suppose we imported more articles
than we made at home? We would not
only lose the duties now collected, but
we would lose the money we paid for
the articles. Our workmen and farm
ers would suffer and the wealth of our
people and country would be decreased.
The Insurgents say the tariff must be
revised downward. All right, where
will you begin? LaFollette, who is as
noisy an Insurgent as any, wouldn't
stand for a reduction of the tariff on
lumber or the products of his state.
The cotton mills people of New Eng
land and the South are willing to take
the duty off of lumber, iron and steel,
but they want the duty on cotton. The
wool growers of the West and South
west are opposed to free wool but free
cotton, lumber, iron and steel would
suit them-that is some say it would,
but in all truth loyal Republicans real
iZe that protection must cover all in
terests. It is folly to talk about re-
vision downward-on the other fellow.
The president has said that the tariff
commission will report to him any
articles upon which the tariff should be
revised, and that he will at once call
