HISTORY OF BoWDoINHAM.
Valuable Book Just Issued by Capt.
Silas Adams.

Capt. Silas Adams OF this city is the
author of a History of the Town OF
Bowdoinham, which has Just appeared
from the press. 1t is a book of 300
pages, which tells the story of one Of
Names best towns as only one who is
native son, and loves the memory of
his home town with the affection of a
son Prom the earliest days of set
tlement, the reader is led from one
notable event TO another, from the
struggles in the wilderness to her
gradual rise until she was organized as
the 18th town in Maine. Language that
is the essence of clearness is used, and
there is that attention TO detail in each
part of the book that is born Of love of
the task.
Capt. Adams first became interested
in the project of writing a history Of
Bowdoinham in 1884, when a newspa-
per- The Bowdoinham Advertiser, was
started in that town. The editor re-
quested him to write something for the
columns to help along the new UNDER
taking. so series of articles in the
towns history was started which. in
| the words of Capt. Adams, proved to
be not only interesting to the author,
who became interested in Bowdoin-
| hams history as it was unfolded by a
| long and persistent search among the
! records, but, we believe, an interesting
and instructive matter to the readers
| in opening zap and bringing to light a
| story of their own fireside."
! Capt Adams received his greatest
! help in the undertaking from the old
/ people of the town, many of whom
had been identified with the early set

Admit Darr0w's
Works as Evidence,

Los Angeles, Aug. IA novel stipula-
ton was made. today, by opposing coun-
Sci for the barrow bribery trial. 1t was
that all of the published works of Clar-
ence ). barrow be admitted into evidence
and copies of his novels. essays and lee
lures be furnished to the jurors to be
read during their hours of leisure. Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks later withdraw
for his present his consent to the stipu-
latian. Except for this incident and a
heated verbal encounter between Assist
amt District Attorney Ford and Chief
Counsel Rogers of the defence, the day
was featureless. The defendant gave few
direct responses.
Darrow's writings were injected into
the case when Ford produced a copy of
an address on "Crimes and Criminals
given by the defendant before the pris-
oners in the Cook county jail in Chicago
and read from the following: There is
no such thing as crime as the word is
generally understood. l do not believe
there is any sort of distinction between
the moral condition of the people in and
out of Jail. One is just as good as an
other. The people here can no more
help being here than the people outside
can avoid being outside i do not believe
people are in jail because they deserve
to be- They are in Jail simply because
they cannot avoid it, on account of cir
cumstances which are entirely beyond
their control, and for which they are in
no way responsible"
Ford asked if the foregoing was Mr..
Darrows state of mind, last November.
Attorney Rodgers protested it was un-
fair to select an isolated paragraph from
a pamphlet. and Judge Hutton agreed
Darrows state of mind could not be de-
termined by lectures and addresses upon
different SUBJECTS NJ
The defence said It would not object
to the reading of excerpts from OAR
rows works if all of them were submit
ted into evidence and the jurors provided
with copies. To this the prosecution as
scented, later District Attorney Fredericks
recalled his agreement.
