Green as a trimming, especially an
eighteenth century shade of green,
will be a feature, particularly as coat
Innings for velvet and fur. Yellow and
orange are also popular for this pur-
pose. Much Can be expressed in a

works of art in themselves, and lin

over 100000 people have laughed
and cried with this remarkable artist"
was the statement of the advertise
ment in the Kennebec Journal of
Tuesday, and it seemed to the writer
that nearly that number had crowded
into City hall on the occasion of this
ladys reading, Tuesday evening. Floor
and galleries were damned with the
great audience from stage to walls of
the big building and they all remained
to the last word, truly enough, as adj
vertised, ito laugh and cry"
1t was a neighborly audience that
filled the seats and S. r. o. They came
by train and car and cars and the
majority on foot. From Winthrop,
from Gardiner, Waterville, Togus,
Hallowell from all Augusta and her
sister cities and towns and all were
glad they were there.

with wholesome good nature beaming
on her intellectual countenance won
her hearers from the first.
A study of the lady's personality, for
a clue to her success, resolved itself
into the conclusion that it is just pure
magnetism. combined with innate
sympathy both for pathos and for fun.
That Miss Ridgeway is graceful, n
trained elocutionist of rare talent and
prepossessing appearance is likewise
true, but many others have these gifts.
some in greater degree. Some how the
thought would come that the lady re-
minded one of our own Maine talented
country girls, that she was one of the
audience, that she had known every
body there from childhood and was
up on the platform telling stories for
old friends.
Miss Ridgeway began by endorsing
short stories. In her own appearance
before her audience she was reminded
of a French writer's remark that his
offering was like the mans bouquet
the only thing about it was the string
with which they were tied.

Bronchitis Sufferer.
Takes Druggists Advice with Splen-
did Result.

If any one should know the worth
of a medicine, it is the retail druggist
who sells it every day in the week
and is in a position to know what
remedy gives the best satisfaction.
Mrs. Frank Fl. Uline of West Sand
Lake, N. Y, says: For years | was
a great sufferer from bronchitis. Last
July l had a severe attack and my
friends thought I could not recover
from it. Then | was advised by my
druggist to try Vinol, which l did with
wonderful results. My cough has left
me; / have gained in weight and APP
petite and | am as strong as ever
was, / advise all who have bronchitis,
chronic coughs, or who are run down
to try Vinol."
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal curative elements of the
Gods liver, without oil, aided by the
blood making and strength creating
properties of tonic iron that makes
Vinol so efficient in such cases.
Remember, we guarantee Vinol to
do just what we say--we pay back
your money if it does not. Bowditch-

of the prisoner at least. may claim
that, Mrs. Eldridge was lighting, or
had lit the fire in the kitchen stove.
The kerosene had exploded, covering
her with oil and she rushed into the
sitting room. where the husband was
sitting.
He. in an attempt to extinguish the
flames on his wife, was suffocated py
the heat and flames. He staggered
about and in finally falling to the floor
struck his head against the hearth OF
the stove. His wife broke her ribs in
falling heavily against the couch.
Facts bearing out this theory are:
That only the upper clothing of the
man was burned. Only his head and
shoulders and upper part of the body
was burned, which If he had been
sprinkled with oil, would have been
consumed at least as much as the wo-
mans. The fact that his head and
shoulders were severely burned might
point to the fact that in trying to ex-
tinguish the flames on his wife he was
strangled to death by them. NO oil
was found beneath the mans body,
which would have naturally been there
had a murderer attempted to cover up
his crime by sprinkling the bodies and
setting fire to them. That the woman
was burned twice as much as the man,
and that the oil can beneath the kitch-
en- table had been flung there in the
woman's flight to the sitting room.
Again a fact bearing up the the
ory of suicide by woman, is the state
ment of her brother, Bert e. Moody,
who visited, Monday, the younger Ed
ridge in his cell, and who states that
his late sister never used oil in Kin
ding a fire. Had she then attempt
ed suicide by setting the couch on
fire and lying there to burn to death
and had the husband in his frenzied
EFFORTS to save his wife fallen a victim
to the flames too?
Opinion differs on the time of the
death of the two persons. some say
the fire might have smouldered for
hours and never had broken out
through the walls. Others state that
had not the doors been opened the
blaze would never have been seen.
However it seems that 1t is almost
;nnossible that a blaze that consum-
ed a couch, burned through the floor
allowing the blazing couch to drop
into the cellar, eat its way up into
the sheating of the walls, and created
enough heat to make the pump han
die in another room so hot as to not
be able to bear ones hands upon 1T,
would have taken very long in burst
ing out into sight.
One fact remains, as shown by the
| extreme reticence of the authorities,
that the affair is shrouded in as deep
mystery as on the night it was dis
| covered

when Eldridge will be arraigned was
