The Dodge Trial Again Postpon

The Dodge Trial Again Postponed.
According to statement made
| direct by the new states attorney
and prosecuting officer of Essex
| county, Mrs. J. Marshall Dodge will
| not face jury on the third day of
| January to answer to the charge of
| the murder Of William A. Heath at
her home in Lunenburg, Sept. II.
Harry B. Amey of Island Pond has
succeeded George Hunt of the same
town as states attorney and taken
direct charge of the case. In a state
ment to the Manchester Union repre-
sentative he said that it would be
| impossible for him to take hold of
| the case until after the legislature of
which he is member, has adjourn
ed, and that will not be until after
the date set for the trial. Mr.. Amey
said he had no doubt whatever but
that the court would consent to a
postponement and believed that a
date would be set sometime during
the April session. There have been
many claims that the case would not
go before the jury in January, but
the court has taken no action other
than to set date for trial in that
month yet this direct statement from
the prosecuting officer will be con-
sidered as meaning that Mrs. Dodge
will remain at liberty and under bail
until next April at least. Her present
bonds are $4,000.
Mrs. B. A. Taylor has been and
still is critically i'll, resulting from

years old, was troubled with very bad
cough which remained after an attack
of catarrhal fever, which was a great
deal worse at night.
''She would wake up out of her sleep
and cough until feared she could not
stand it.
Nothing that we gave her seemed to
do her any good. then concluded to
send for DIR. Hartman's book entitled
THE Ills of Life,' which 1 promptly
received.
"Iat the same time commenced giving
her Peruna. She has taken one bottle
in all, through which she has obtained
a complete cure.
''She also since her birth was troubled
with indigestion, but since she has
taken Peruna she can eat almost any
kind of food without any bad results.
stShe is now as well and happy as any
little girl can be. When our friends
say how well she looks, I tell them
Peruna did it.
81 shall always be a friend of Peruna,
as consider it the beSf medicine for
coughs and Indigestion we have ever
tried, and will recommend it to any one
similarly afflicted"

About Aluminium.

Though aluminium takes first rank
among metals for lightness, combined
with toughness and durability, it Is
hardly what one would expect to prove
useful as textile material, but the
articles now made from it include
neck-cloths, ponpadours, shoes, belts,
neckties, shawls and hats. Straps and
lacings for shoes are among the new
est productions. Sleeves or screens
from aluminium have proven especially
valuable in sugar refining, as it quick
ly becomes coated with acid, resisting
oxide; and it can be woven alone into
fabrics for other purposes.
The best results, however, are OBJ
tanned by employing the aluminium
yarn-smooth or twisted-as warp.
with colored silk threads for welt.
When this cloth is made into cloaks
or theatrical costumes the effect is
very striking. and the body of a beau.
tiful woman is said to look as though
dipped in silver. Fabrics and cloths
from glass and silk threads woven
together attracted much attention when
exhibited In Paris some ryeas ago.

Chickens Lone East.

Here is the story of the feat in
the fasting line performed by Grand
Saline chicken. On Easter Sunday
w. M. Loid placed Rhode Island red
and black Minorca chicken in his hen
house along with other chickens. The
next day these chickens were nowhere
to be found, and it was believed they
had strayed off or had met death
Twenty-eight days after the chickens
were placed in the hen house they
were found behind some nest boxes
wedged tightly in crack, where they
had probably failed in an attempt to
fly out of the house.
The Rhode Island red was dead, but
the black Minorca was still alive
though very weak. After being cared
for and fed it began to improve and
is still alive with every prospect OF
becoming as spry as ever.-Grand Sa
line Journal.

Adventures Of Pearl Necklace.

In remarkable circumstances a
pearl necklace worth $4,000, which
was stolen a few days ago from the
Marquise de L., has been recovered
The marquise, who was staying at q
Paris hotel, had ordered some shoes
These were brought by messenger
boy, who took the opportunity of
pocketing the necklace.
On arriving home the lads mother
found the jewels in his pocket. He
told her he had bought the necklace
and was soundly scolded for spending
the money on such rubbish She took
the row Of pearls, and gave it to her
little daughter, who went to school
with it round her neck. 81 thought
the whole thing was not worth ten
CENTS" said the little girls mother to
the magistrate when the lad had been
arrested. AS the necklace was too
large for the girl, her mother took
some of the pearls out, which she put
In her work-basket amongst buttons
needles and threads.
All the pearls were found and
handed to the marquise, who was Sc
much amused at the adventures of the
recovered necklace that she withdrew
the complaint, with the result that
boy was set at liberty.

Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-15
THINKS Y. NJ. c. A. WILL
HOLD CONVENTION HERI
General Secretary Luther of the
Local Association Returns
Home Enthusiastic

Confident of securing the next in
ternational convention of the Y. M. C.
A. for Los Angeles, D. e. Luther,
general secretary f the Los Angeles
association, has retsrned from the
convention just held in Toronto and
reports a magnificent gathering of as
sociation delegates.
Mr.. Luther is enthusiastic over the
gathering in Toronto and also con-
vention held in Buffalo en- route. That
athe Los angeles association was well
represented by Arthur Let's, presi-
dent, is the unanimous verdict of Mr..
Luther and Mr.. Emmett, the religious
work director, who has recently re-
turned from Canada.
Mr.. Let's made a five-minute speech
in inviting the next convention to Los
Angeles which aroused great enthu-
siasm, and Luther says that ministers
and laymen alike expressed the desire
to come to Los Angeles for the con-
vention. He thinks that If the gath
ering is held here 1t will bring 5000
visitors to Los Angeles.
More than 1900 delegates were regis
tered at the Toronto convention, while
in addition to that number there were
a large number of association visitors
of the families of the delegates. Luther
expects far greater number if Los
Angeles secures the next convention,
the decision being in the hands of the
executive committee.
