by Mexican revolutionists is proven
true. it will be one more convincing
argument for Americans that some
dav il may be necessary to cross the
Rio Grande, and other parts of the in
ternational line between the gulf of
Mexico and the Pacific, to teach those
alarrelsome and semi barbarous Mex
leans that if they have neither love
for humanity nor fear of heaven they
must learn a wholesome respect for
the Indignation of civilized people.
AS sent out from San Francisco, S.
E. Taylor, a civil engineer of Salt
Lake city, was crucified and his wife
brutally mistreated and finally MUIR
lered before his eyes, at the hands of
Mexican rebels These murders arc
said to have been perpetrated near
the city of Vera Cruz, while they were
fleeing to the American consulate for
protection. John Taylor, brother of
the murdered man. narrowly escaped
hanging at the hands of the rebels and
only by cutting the rope that suspend
ed him after he had been left for
dead. He found that his sister in law
had died from injuries inflicted upon
her by the Mexicans while his broth
er was spiked with outstretched limbs
to the side of barn. He succeeded
in releasing the suffering man and to-
gether they took the body of the wo-
man away but the crucified man died
of his injuries.

Harvard's EIms.

What? THE End of Harvard's
Elms?" Impossible. That will be the
exclamation of thousands who read
that the noble old trees must go-vic-
Tins to mans incompetence and para
site triumph. How many of us must
feel pang of regret on reading the
following editorial from the Boston
Herald
The intinlation that all the elms in
the Harvard yard must. yield to the
axe during the coming summer will be
unweleome news TO great many Har-
ward graduates, although the authori-
ties OF the university have for two or
three years realized that the trees were
doomed. Heroic efforts have been made
to save them from the inroads Of in
sect enemies, but to no avail; the doc
tors of entomology confessed them
selves worsted and abandoned their
endeavors some time ago. That in it,
self has more than a passing signifi-
canoe, for science has out generated
its parasitic assailants so often in re-
cent years that some of us were ready
To believe that it would not have to
confess defeat in this instance.
These elms were the glory of the
yard. and gave the region whatever of
a.tractiveness it possessed. Graduates
OF a generation ago will recall the
grateful shade they afforded during the
nuggy June days preceding the an
nuai examinations. In the late after
moons, when the shadows of these trees
silhouetted themselves against the old
brick buildings that girdle the yard

That Augusta Belfast Road.

Editor kennebee Journal
We have read several articles in the
Journal and other papers in regard to
the proposed electric road from Augusta
to Belfast but have not seen anything
from our town, Palermo. We are located
nearly half way between the terminals
on lie west branch of the Sheepscot
river at its head waters which is a fine
privilege for small manufacturing and
would be an ideal location for a novelty
wood working plant as abundance of
small lumber of different varieties is at
hand
Our village consists of six stores, two
blacksmith shops, cabinet shop, wool
carding, apple barrels, grist mill, potato
house etc: also wholesale -four and feed
of which vast amount is handled to
supply the surrounding territory.
The fertilizer would be quite an item
for this place as the farmers are raising
more potatoes each year and the pro-
duct would be shipped the cheapest way,
which undoubtedly would be by the new
road
The road as proposed would pass
through the center and best part of our
town. so the passenger traffic would be
H'i'e 81 A'0iii' iNtA''9' Si"9 WI NVNi's
seat
If the promoters would take a census
of the business done here we believe it
would compare very favorably with other
towns along the line. The road would
pass two fine lakes. good fishing and
boating and excellent locations for cot
tages.
We hope the road will be pushed to
completion and if it is we have no doubt
it will be a financial success.

Why He Deserved to Fail.

Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, looking
very fresh and young. red carna-
ton in the buttonhole of his morning
coat, was talking to a reporter about
an unsuccessful competitor at the
Madison Square Garden horse show.
He failed said Mr. Vanderbilt,
"and he deserved to fail. His igno-
rance of horses was incredible. 1t
reminded me of an old farmer on my
brothers farm.
