The Gardiner Woman's Letter,

The letter of Gardiner woman
which was published in our Letter
Box, Friday morning, seems to have
aroused more curiosity than attaches
to the average communication. The
public verdict seems to be that no
woman ever wrote the letter. Several
people referred to it. Friday, and all
seemed to be of the opinion that il
flieted upon us for a purpose. That
may be true. yet the letter. written
in a striking hand. with certain char
aeteristics which would mark the writ

genuine and the handwriting would
be accepted as that of woman and

We agree that the sentiments of

Husband Of Murdered Woman
Was Much Sought After
BY MANY W0ULD-BE BRIDES
For Over a Year Marshall Taylor Had
Been In Communication With Mat
trimonial Agency, Says the
Village Postmaster.

Pennington, Me, June IL An in
quest was held at Strong to-day to
determine the cause of the death of
Mrs. Eta Taylor, aged Al, whose de-
composed and mutilated body was
found in hole near her home at Free
man yesterday Marshall Taylor, the
woman's husband, has been correspond
ing with matrimonial agency for
more than year, according to intorma-
ton given to the authorities by the
postmaster, who says that he has re-
ceived more than one hundred letters,
asking about Taylor and his qualifica-
tons as prospective husband for
some would-be bride
1t is probable that Mrs Taylor was
killed more than three weeks ago The
back of her head was gone, shattered
by bullet or crushed in by an axe,
in the opinion OF those who attended
the autopsy yesterday afternoon. Both
Taylor, who is 40. and his housekeeper,
Mrs. Cuida Searles, were taken into
custody and sent to the county jail
here
II was last Thursday that neighbors,
who called at the Taylor farm house
in Freeman, which is somewhat isolated,
learned that Mrs. Taylor was missing
Her husband told them, they say, that
she had left him three weeks ago.
He showed them note which he
produced before the officers yesterday,
LEFT hy his wife, he said, which de-
clared that Mrs Taylor was sick OF
this life and that she did not want
10 live any more. He told the neigh
bors he had made no search for his
wife, and that he did not think il
necessary to report the matter.
Official search for the missing wom-
an was soon begun, but it was not
until yesterday that it was rewarded
Then the discovery came by accident
The heavy rains of the past few days
had washed over the grounl and
Silas Duncan, walking near the railroad
tracks about 100 yards from the Tay-
Tor home, noticed spot where the
Garth appeared to have been freshly
turned He summoned the searching
party composed Of Sheriff w. p. Small
Of Strong and two deputies, and after
digging through little more than
foot of earth, spruce boughs and a
pile of stones the body was found.
The back Of the head was entirely
gone and decomposition had set in
sometime since 1t was the opinion of
Coroner B. Adams and Dr. G. l..
Trait of Pennington, who, with Coun.
ty Attorney Cyrus A. Blanchard of Will
ten, were present at the autopsy, that
the body must have been been in the
ground three weeks or month The
gaping wound in the back of the head
was caused, in their opinion, either by
a blow from an axe or by a bullet
exploded from weapon close to the
head It was said that they had been
unable to determine which of the
causes was the most likely
A search of the Taylor home and in
the vicinity failed to develop any
weapon which might have been used

INSPIRING SERMON
BEFORE ODD FELLOWS
Preached By Rev. J. W, Barnett at
Special Service in the Congrega-
tional Church Last Evening.

Services at the Congregational church
last evening were attended by the com.
biled organizations of the Independent
Order Of Odd Fellows, including Bright
Star Rebekah Lodge. No is, seventy
five of the members marching to the
church in a body The pastor, Rev.
j. W Barnett, aptIy spoke on the
story Of the Good Samaritan in It's
application to fraternal orders He
chose his text from Luke 1881, 80
taking "The Other Side" for a subject
He said in part,
Some Of us who are perfectly famil-
lar with the story OF the Good Samar.
itan do not comprehend its full sig
nideance and larger meaning AS we
picture in our minds eve the helpless
traveller as he falls by the wayside, the
vision OF the priest and the Levite as
they passed by can be seen only IN
contrast with the Samaritan. who
paused in his Journey to succor his fall
len brother The applications Of the
Masters story and his charge to the
listening apostles, go thou and do
likewise are legion They may be
fitted to every walk Of life
Men and women IN the world to-
day are divided into two classes, the
nt edy and the helpers. Go where you
will and you viii find that everyone
Is embraced in these divisions. The in
diyidual, however, may be one or the
otner at some time in his life Into
the class Of helpers, two other distinct
kinds have crept the selfish and the un.
selfish helper. The other side, as typi-
fled in the priest in Leyite, is not
determined by racial lines or lines Of
organization There are good church
members and there are bad; likewise
there are good Odd Fellows and the
opposite within the order The side Of
humanity represented by the Samaritan Is
measured not by space but by interest.
You may constantly come in contact
with d man, you eye9 work with him
day by day; and yet it is possible for
YOU to be like the Levite and the priest,
pas sing by on the other side
The Good Samaritan spirit is really
Measured. not BY inches and miles but
BY great and broadening human in
terest. influence and sympathy The
law of human Kindness and benevolence
is higher than any other precept in the
world We are always creating neigh
horhoods, which are never bound by
limits of responsibility Every man
who needs what | have to give is my
ncighbor And man can have as
many neighbors as he wishes They
are made, not born.
You of the Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs are doing worlds of good by
relieving distress and by your splendid
benevolent works Your purpose is
altogether worthy Though your labors
must of necessity be limited. let not
the confines of your order mark the
boundary line of your good works Let
the spirit of brotherhood, true love and
sympathy extend into every sphere,
even as the leavening influence of the
home is felt outside There would be
no beneflcence in the world if our
hearts were not big enough to reach out
Ieyond our own homes and circle. The
world is starving for true, genuine
human interest. and the call for help
should be needed even as the Good
Samaritan gave freely Of his sympathy
and help
