Residents Of Buckport, Me-, Declare
Woman Charged With Witchcraft
Pronounced a MaIediction Upon
Towns Founder.

Buckport, Me.-''You will soon die.
Over your grave they will erect a
stone, upon that stone will appear the
imprint of my foot and long after
your accursed race has persisted from
the earth people will come from far
and near to say there lies the man
who murdered woman"
This is the substance of a curse said
to have been uttered in hatred and
anger by a woman about to die,
woman of mystery, who cast spells
upon her neighbors, and told tales I'M
believable. 1t was curse given by
woman who knew she was about to
geance against Col. Jonathan Buck. the
founder of Buckport, who, so the story
goes, caused this woman to be put to
death as witch.
Some years later a monument was
erected 10 the memory of Col. Jona-
than Buck in the Buck cemetery,
about a half mile south of the present
center of the town. 1t is granite
shaft about is feet high, standing on
the usual base stones, and it bears the
following inscription:

NEW WORLD BEING cREATED7
Planet Jupiter Attracting Attention Of
Astronomers-Red Spot In
creasing Rapidly.

The planet Jupiter, whose volume
is 1878 times that of the earth. and
superior in dimensions and weighs
to all the other planets put together.
is just now attracting the attention OF
astronomers. NJ Giacobini of the
Paris observatory, who has made a
special study of Jupiter. has de-
scribed red spot which possesses a
relative fixity, but within the last
year its mobility hes increased to
great proportions, and its longitude
by about thirty degrees. That is all
that we can say scientifically Is 1t
really the formation of new conti-
nent? Can we draw this deduction
from this phenomenon so difficult to
seize? 1t is possible, but who can say
SO with certainty? nj. Camille Flam-
marion. however. expresses himself
with far greater confidence In this
matter: I'VE are assisting at the
creation of world. Under our daz-
zled eyes new world is being created
in the infinity. and in Jupiter We hail
the world Of the future"

cess Of salts is subsequently removed
by prolonged washing in weak alco-
holic solution. The artificial sponge
swells up with water, but hardens on
drying, just like its prototype; 1t Is
said to be eminently adapted for filter
ing water for sanitary or industrial
uses and 1t can be employed for all
the purposes that are usually assigned
to the genuine article.

BRITAlN's UNIoNIsT LEADER

The new leader of the Unionist par
ty in Great Britain, Arthur Bonar
Law, Is first Of all business man and
has little of the politician in his make
up. While he has been in parliament
since 1900. representing a Lancashire
district, he has not taken any very
notable part in political management
and is regarded as much Inferior to
Lord Balfour, whom he replaces, In
statesmanlike grasp Of public affairs
and in political sagacity. Although
the ostensible reason for Balfour's res
ignation is given as poor health, 1t is
well known that he was almost forced
out Of the leadership by the standrat
element, or the last ditchers." as
they are called, which was dissatisfied
with the conduct OF the fight waged
in connection with the reform of the
house of lords.
Mr.. Law is native of New Bruins
wick and received his earlier educa-
ton at Hamilton, Ont. He is now a
wealthy iron merchant of Glasgow. II

Just inside the iron fence surround
ing the whole burying ground. One
can almost reach through the iron
fence and touch the outline of stock
ing-shaped foot which is plainly
etched on the surface of the stone.
1t appeared family not long after the
monument wa: put in place, and day
by day it is said to have grown more
distinct.
This startling sketch was the sub
ject of much comment, and people for
miles around gathered to view the
strange shape on the stone. 1t is
said that members of the family have
tried in vain to efface the mysterious
foot by cutting into the face of the
monument, but each time the figure
gradually resumed its old shape.
Buckport residents are divided in
their version of the legend, many hold
ing that the woman who uttered the
curse had been sentenced to death by
Jonathan Buck, and had forecasted
the appearance of the famous mark
ing, while others contend that the
woman in the case was an Indian
maiden who, after being courted by
Jonathan Buck, was sorely disappoint-
ed when he refused to marry her. She
cursed him and all of his descendants,
and had foretold the appearance of q
strange sign on the tombstone.

JUDGE WALTER BoRDWELL

Judge Walter Bordwell was the pre-
siding judge in the Mcnamara trial
at Los Angeles: which abruptly ended
by the confession of guilt of the &C
cused, and 1t was he who pronounced
the prison sentences upon the broth
ers. The Judge issued a formal state
ment giving his views as to the trial
and especially what brought about its
termination. This, he said, was done
with the hope of correcting If possible
some misconceptions due to errone-
GUS publications.
In the first place. the Judge declared,
the claim or suggestion that the ter
mination of the cases was due to the
efforts of outsiders who undertook to
influence the officers of the court
other than the judge-was without
justification in fact. He also de-
nounced the claims Of certain writ
er and of other persons for him that
the change of pleas from mot guilty"
to guilty" was due to his efforts as
groundless. The district attorney, the
