Bangor, Me-, April S.-With Taft and
Roosevelt candidates for each of the
10 delegates to be chosen to the Re
publican National convention and con-
tests for many of the committee places
which are to be filled, the Republican
State convention to be held at Ban

AT HARRINGTON
Mrs. Elsie Raymond May
Have Her Trial.
Strenuous Efforts Being Made
Fo Secure Change.
Two Important Legal Questions In.
volved In Proposition.

Mrs Elsie Hobbs Raymond of Po-
land, who was indicted, Saturday, by
the Kennebee grand jury, upon the
charge of the murder of Matte Hack
EFT, Aug. II, 1905, at ReadfeId, may be
tried at Pennington in May instead of
at Augusta in October.
The effort to secure change of
venue is being strenuously pushed by
her counsel, Hon. Frank a. Morey of
Lewiston, and it is understood that
if change of venue can be secured,
so as to bring about a speedy trial of
the case, no attempt 20 secure bail
will be made. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that any hearing upon the ques-
ton of change of venue will be had
for two weeks, as Chief Justice vii
liam p. Whitehouse before whom such
hearing would be held, left, Monday
afternoon. for Portland, where he will
open a nisi prus term, Tuesday, in
Cumberland county. The term at
Portland is not likely to take more
than two weeks, however. and at the
end of that time it is probable that
Mrs. Raymonds counsel win be per-
mitted to argue the question of change
of venue.
In connection with this proposition
of taking the case out of Kennebec
county some very peculiar situations
arise, as this exigency was one which
was not contemplated by the statutes.
Two questions would be involved in
the matter. First, is a case pending
before g. nisi prius term when the in
dietment from superior court grand
jury is certified? Second. can a pre-
siding justice draw Il case to him in
a term in another county as well as
put it from him?
Section "a of Chapter S4 of the Re-
vised Statutes provides that any judge
of the supreme judicial court, while
holding nisi prius term. on motion
Of either party shall, for cause shown,
order the transfer of any civil action
or criminal case pending in said court
to the docket thereof in any other
county for trial,
Section of Chapter 49, which re-
fers to the superior court Jurisdiction
in this county. provides that where an
indictment for murder is found by the
grand jury in the superior court for
the county of Kennebec the clerk of
said court shall certify and transmit
fA-N A'iotNbiINiit " lllC supreme
court for said county at the next term
thereof. when and where it shall be
entered and said supreme judicial
court shall have cognizance and juris-
d1ction thereof and proceedings shall
be had thereon in the same manner
as if the indictment had been found
in that court.
The superior court of Kennebec
county had jurisdiction in murder
trials from 1880 to 1889, but in the
last named year jurisdiction in murder
trials was transferred to the supreme
Judicial court. Had the jurisdiction
OF the Kennebec superior court been
allowed to remain as it was previous
to 1889 and as the Cumberland county
superior court now is the present
eXlgeney would not exist
Mrs. Raymond's trial if it takes
place at the October term of the SUI
preme judicial court in Kennebec
county, will be before Chief Justice

was wounded. She went into the yard
to investigate and was handed note
by a Negro, who seized her and slash
ed her on the throat with a sharp
weapon. inflicting an ugly wound. The
Negro then disappeared. it was alleged.
According to a statement attributed 10
Mrs. Beach. the note handed to her was
signed by MARIE said to be a servant
in the employ of Mrs. Joseph Hartman.

TO ELECTRIFY A SCH00LRO0M
New York Board of Education Will
Try Swedish Scheme to Get
Extraordinary Results.

New York.-The New York board
of education is expected to authorize
a trial this fall of a Swedish scheme
for electrifying schoolroom and
thereby producing extraordinary re-
suits from the pupils. The expert
ment, which has met with some sue
cess in Stockholm, will be tried on
room in which a class of defective
pupils is being taught. The cost for
years trial will be less than $4,000.
The electrificator consists of a Sc
ries of wires in the walls of the class
room. These wires will be charged
with high frequency currents. The
plan will be to have two classrooms,
as nearly alike as possible, one cleo
trif1ed and the other not, each to have
the same number Of pupils. At the
end Of certain period comparisons
will be made between the pupils in
the electrified room and those in the
room not electrified.

The Hanging Pincushlon.

Do not dream of crossing the ocean
without first providing yourself with
hanging pincushion, as it is the only
sort which you can be sure of in
stantIy laying your fingers upon while
dressing. Make the cushion square of
shape, reasonably fiat and not too
large to easily pack into the dressing
bag, and to one corner attach stout
silk cordage hanging of considerable
length. This you will secure to a
hook in your stateroom by twisting it
round and round and when prepar-
ing to debark will merely clip off with
scissors, knotting the ends together
again before attaching it to some
other hook. A yard long hanger usu-
ally answers for summers tour, so
say experienced travellers.
