 Probably the most interesting detail of the inventory on the Mark Twain estate when it comes to be submitted to the probate court will be the ap- praisal estimates of values on the copyright of the late authors books. These have varying periods to run, but four of the earlier works are near the time limit: It was the intention of towards the close of his life, to re- create these copyrights upon or before their lapse. by including in new edi- tions of them portions of his autobf- ography, this new matter serving as the basis of . new copyright for the whole. Naturally @ question arose as to whether this device would pass the test as a legal proposition. Attorney J. B. Stanchfield Is said to have en- dorsed the scheme as legally sound and maintainable. and it has consequently been adopted by the appraisers and the executors in their administrative policy of the estates interests.

THE ALBATROSS.
The Largest Sea Bird Having tho Pow
 CT of EIiuhf

The Largest Sea Bird Having tho Pow
 CT of Flight.
 The albatross. that wanderer of the seas so often referred to in prose and poem, is nevertheless a stranger to the average person and by some is even considered myth. In Celeridge's '"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" the albatross plays leading part, and one sorrows for the poor bird, which. after following the ship for weeks, is pitilessly shot down by a mariner.
 The albatross is the largest sea bird having the power of flight and is closely allied to the gull, petrel and Mother Carey's chicken. It has a tremendous stretch of wing, averaging from ten to twelve feet. The wings are, however, extremely narrow, being about nine inches in breadth The body is about four feet in length, and the weight is from fifteen to eighteen pounds, a comparatively light weight when one considers the extreme length of wing. The albatross is possessed of a peculiarly long, oddly shaped bill, which gives 1t a strange appearance. The nostrils open from round, hor1 zontal tubes on each. side of the bill, but at its base.
 This great bird is generally met with in southern seas. although 1t is occa- sional1y seen on our Pacific coast. On the Atlantic side 1t is rarely found as far north as Tampa bay.
 Its food consists of cuttiefsh, jelly fish and scraps thrown from passing ships. It is a greedy bird and at times gerges itself to such an extent that it is unable to rise from the wa ter.
 It's power of flight is. however. the most remarkable thing about the al- batross. It spends it's life. with the exception of a few weeks given each year to nest4ag. entirely at sea and is on the wing practically all the time. Furthermore. it does not progress by Tapping its wings, as most birds do. but seems to soar at will, rarely if ever giving a stroke of the wing, seem- ing to need no impetus.-St. Nicholas.

Bridgeport saw good old fash toned circus, yesterday, with few of the modern frills when the Fore paugh and Sells Bros. big united bhowe came to town. The perform lnce was a good one but was not wit messed by as large audiences as might be expected. The people seem ed to have their fill of circus when the Barnum & Bailey Bridgeport shows came to town last month. The tent was about half filled at the aft prnoon session and in the evening the crowd was only a little larger. The majority of the folks who came out la the evening and spent their money lo see the show were largely from the foreign colonies and all had a good time.

MASONIC CONVENTION.
Interesting Sessions Held in Els

Interesting Sessions Held In Els
worth Last Week.
The convention Of the masonic lodges
Of this district, including several lodges OF
the adjoining districts included by in
vitation, was held at Odd Fellows hall,
Ellsworth, last Thursday.
Something like 200 Masons were present
from out Of town, and Ellsworth brethren
turned out in goodly number. Felicity
lodge, Of Bucksport, was the only lodge in
the district not represented. There were
representatives from some twenty lodges,
including one from Scotland.
There have been larger conventions, but
none at which the work was of a higher
standard, the interest better maintained
or the sociability and spirit OF brotherly
love and friendship more manifest.
The convention was called to order in
the afternoon by District Deputy Trussell,
of Bar Harboor, who invited Northeast
Harbor lodge to exemplify the first de-
gree. Following this, in behalf of Ly-
gonia lodge, the district deputy invited
David A. Hooper lodge, OF West Sullivan,
to confer the second degree on Lygonia
lodge candidate.
In the evening, Lygonia lodge, OF ELS
worth, conferred the third degree on two
candidates. Harry c. Austin, master OF
the lodge, took the first candidate through
the work to the obligation. Past Master
T. E. Hale was then invited to the East,
and took the second candidate through
the first part of the work, and gave the
lecture to both candidates. The Ellis
worth male quartette furnished music for
this degree.
The work throughout the day in all
threedegrees was of a very high order.
At Cookbook and at midnight suppers wer
served in the banquet hall and one of the
stores. Caterer Leland and the commit
tee in charge were warmly praised for the
supper and the manner in which it was
served.
After the evening session, Past Eminent
Grand Commander Arno w. King, in elo-
quent words, voiced the sorrow OF all
present at the death of Judge John b.
Redman, so long prominent in the order.
David Friend and Henry l.. Moor, OF Ly-
gonia lodge, also spoke.
1t was unanimously voted to hold an
other convention next year, time and

FROM THE Law COURT.
Decisions in Jones Fire Case and
Leighton VS.. Wheeler.

Decisions in Jones Fire Case and
Leighton VS.. Wheeler.
The decision Of the law court in the case
OF Charlotte T. Jones vs. the Maine Gem
trail Railroad Co. for causing forest Ere on
plaintiffs property, was handed down last
week. The decision is adverse to the rail-
road. The rescript by Justice Cornish is
as follows:
In an action on the case brought under R. s..
chapter So. section 70, to recover damages
caused by fire on the plaintiffs land alleged
to have been set by locomotive on the Mt.
Desert branch of the defendant company, the
jury having rendered verdict for the plaintiff
and the defendant having filed motion for
new trial and exceptions. Held:
/. That the question involved was one OF
reasonable inference from all the facts and
circumstances and in case OF this nature the
evidence should be of such character that a
reasoning mind shall see the connection
between cause and effect.
2. That the jury were warranted in adopt
ing the plaintiffs theory that the ire was set
from q locomotive, instead of the defendants
theory that it was communicated from a bog
fire admitted to have been smouldering for
nearly month.
No eye saw the spark or cinder that started
the blaze but all the tests which should be ap-
piled in such q case combine to trace it to the
smokestack and not to the fire in the bog.
The extreme dryness of the season, the direc-
ton Of the wind, the capacity Of the defend-
ants engines to set fires along the road, the
large number that had been admittedly
set by engines for several weeks prior to the
ina ir,p no ah IF sat v
the bog fire. the distance from the track at
which fires had caught, the discovery Of this
fire within half or three-quarters of an hour
after the passage Of the train, its location and
condition when first observed, its nearness to
the railroad and its distance of more than a
quarter OF mile from the bog fire, the two
fires burning independently, with a clear
space of more than 200 feet between the two,
the green land that partially separated them.
the smothered and sluggish manner in which
the bog fire continued to burn, and the rapid
ity with which and direction in which the
and the lots of adjoining owners, all these
facts were shown by evidence that compels
the same conviction in the mind Of the court
as it did in the mind of the jury.
8. The defendant having introduced ex-
pert evidence that engines on this branch,
equipped as they were with q wire netting
over the smokestack, could not in the opinion
of the witnesses throw spark beyond 80 feet
from the rail. it was not error to permit the
plaintiff in rebuttal to introduce testimony OF
specific instances where fires had been set by
these engines at distances varying from 95 to
l52 feet. The objections raised by the defend
ant that the evidence was too remote in time
and place, and that the conditions were not
shown to be similar to those surrounding the
fire for which this action is brought. go to the
weight of the testimony and not to its admis-
sibility.
Motion and exceptions overruled.

LEIGHTON VS.. WHEELER.

LEIGHTON VS.. WHEELER.
In the case of Francena Leighton, ad-
ministratrix, VS.. Willie L. Wheeler, the de-
cision of the law court is adverse to plain
tiff, the verdict being set aside. The
plaintiff, widow of Hollis Leighton, Sec
ton hand who was killed on the Wash
ington County railroad at East brook cross
the engineer OF the locomotive which ran
over her husband. The case was tried last
October, the jury rendering verdict OF
5000 for plaintiff. The rescript by Chief
Justice L. A. Emery is as follows:
/. Actionable negligence is breach OF
duty owed to the party injured. Breach OF
duty owed to other parties than the party in
jured is not actionable by him.
2. locomotive engineer on a regular rail-
road train owes no duty to section men to
keep lookout for them, to anticipate that
they may be on the track. He can rightfully
assume they will perform their duty to him OF
looking out for, and keeping clear Of, regular
trains.
8. II, as soon as he does see person on the
track in such situation that he may not sea-
sonably leave the track, the engineer does all
in his power to stop the train, though unsuc-
cessfully, he is not guilty Of negligence.
4. In this case in which a section man lying
PROSTATE and motionless on the track was
run over and killed by regular train the
evidence does not show actionable negligence
on the part of the engineer.
Motion sustained. Verdict set aside.
