Maine Went Democrats Monday

The Democrats swept Maine Monday In
the state aud Congressional elections, a
result equally surprising to both parties.
Maine is normally Republican, and gave
over IS, 600 majority but few years ago.
In recent elections the lead has been
gradually lessening. Two years ago
Fernald was elected governor BY about
:, 500. This week the Democrats elected
Plaisled governor by s,5O0-ever Fernaid,
carried the entire state ticket, won two
Congressmen certainly and perhaps
third out OF the four, and elected a legis-
lature Democratic in both branches, in
suring the choice of q Democrat to sue
ceed Hale in the United States Senate.
Never has there been such an oyerturn IN
that state. Thirty years ago fusion OF
Democrats and Greenbackers elected as
governor by a narrow plurality the father
OF the man nog elected. The new legis-
lature will probably carry out the plat
form pledge and repeal the sturgis en-
foroement law and resubmit the prohibr
tory law which 10 Maine is part OF the
state constitution.

Death Of Mrs. c. w. A. Putnam.

Mrs. Esther (Smith), wife of @. W. A.
Putnam, died very suddenly at / O'Clock
yesterday morning of neuralgia of the
heart. Mrs. Putnam had had previous
attack 40 severe that Friday and Saturday
she was thought to be in a critical condi-
tion, but gradually grew a little better SO
that Tuesday she was quite comfortable
and it was hoped the crisis had been safe
ly passed. In the night she complained
Of recurring pain and after one sharp
pain fell back dead.
Mrs. Putnam, who would have reached
the age of 50 years in October, was born
ia WiIliamstown, but in her young wo-
manhood lived in New York with sls--
ter, since deceased, and taught in the
private school OF her cousin, Avery
Smith, in Brooklyn. She was afterwards
in Princeton and also made her home
with an uncle, Howard Smith, in Gou-
verneur, n. ", where she first met Mr..
Putnam, to whom she was married in
Brookfeld nearly 20 years ago.
Never of strong physique, she contract
ed, while living in New York, tnhercu-
lar trouble, which youth helped her to
conquer, but in her later years she was
always frail OF health and had to bear a
good deal OF suffering. She was ambi-
tious beyond her powers of endurance
and especially delighted in social life.
She is survived by her husband, step
son, George K. Putnam OF Montpelier; a
sister, Mrs. Mary A. Crane Of Omaha,
Neb. niece, Miss Catherine e. Crane OF
Omaha, and a nephew, William Crane, in
South America.
The funeral, which will be private, is
to be held at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon at

The Bill Of Ladino.

Since the recent shake-up In the
cotton market about the manipulation
of bills Of lading, the bankers and
cotton men have been endeavoring to
get together on a new and satisfac-
tory system. One matter in course
of adjustment is that of the insurance
rate and this. 1t seems probable, will
be placed at less that 25 cents. After
interviewing number of bankers
and cotton men, The New York Jour
nal Of Commerce finds that the main
principle to be established under the
proposed guarantee is that a railroad
bill OF lading be made operative
against a carrier as to its liability for
merchandise actually received. The
surety companies. 1t Is planned, will
guarantee two things: First. that the
cotton has been delivered TO the rail-
road company or its authorized agent;
and, secondly. that the bills OF ladl1g
issued are genuine.-Charlotte Chroni-

veys the information that Judge Ad
ans is soon TO be appointed district
attorney to succeed A. e. Hoiton

story goes on to say that the reason
Judge Adams was not sooner appoint.

would block his confirmation. but now
that congress has adjourned a recess

expected fight avoided. Why this ef.
