Eight COnviCts Are
ParOled at ThOmaStOn

Eight more convicts were paroled at
the session of the Parole commission
recently held in Thomaston. Two Sc
we're cases required the attention of
Governor Haines, who attended the
meeting for the first time, for the Gov
ernor alone has jurisdiction over cases
of serious nature. In both cases the
parole privilege was granted. The con-
victs in question were George w. Per-
kns, who was committed from Rome
in 1909 under an Swear sentence for
manslaughter, and Alonzo Bickford,
who was committed from Kennebec
county in 1902 under a 15-year SEN
tenee for rape.
Other convicts paroled today were
Thomas Frye. Frederick Terriault and
Augustus Fl. Dehuller breaking, enter
ing and larceny: jeremiah j. Wallace.
robbery; Albert Mudgett, adultery;
Fred b. Snow, breaking and entering.
The most celebrated in the latter group
is Doc" Snow. He was captured a
year ago after a sensat ional escape.
Since obviously little life is left to him,
he was paroled that he might be with
his aged mother. There are several
more applications for the parole privi-
lege, but up to date the applicants
have furnished no responsible person
to vouch for them.

 Statistics show that the United
 States is a greater consumer of coffee than any other nation of the world our imports of this little bean run into the millions of dollars each year, and yet most of us do not know whether il grows on a tree or vine In reality, it grows on a bush and it's culture is remarkably interesting subject for study. The Lubin company has just made q film entitled Coffee Industry in Jamaica. The scenes were all taken on one or two of the largest plantations in that beautiful island, commonly called The Pearl of the Antilles" Ja- maica, although belonging to Great Britain, lies very near eur own shores. being just south of the Island of Cuba, in the Carribcan Sea. Kingston, it's capital is the chief port of call for all steamers between the Atlantic ports of the United States and the Panama canal
 This film shows how the small plant is set out, and the different stages of it's growth until thcbush is covered with snowy white blossoms, and finally the gathering of the pretty brilliant red berries. The process of crushing the berries and hulIing out the coffee bean is then illustrated, followed by the dry ing floors and the packing and final of the islands most valuable product. All coffee drinkers will be interested in learning where the prin- cipaI ingredient of their favoritc bever- age comes from.

Miss Clayton is young, pretty and talented She and Harry C.

Mir Phillips is a comparatively new arrival in the world of photo players but in tine short time during which ne has appeared on the screen he has proven himself a valuable addition to the ranks of the Edison players. His immediate success on the screen is par tiaIly accounted for by his wide eX- pericnce on the stage before becoming q picture actor. His work behind the footlights covered period of more than two years, during which time he successfully played the leading role in many Of the popular dramas of the day. His recent appearance in the dual role of The Twin Brothers one of the most remarkable photOplaNs of it's kind, gives one fair idea of his histrionic ability. During the action of this drama he not only plays the part of both twin broth CTS but in one scene snatchcs a photo graph out of his own hand and in an. other shakes hands with himself.
 If he continues to gain laurels with the same rapidity with which he has begun, he will soon become one of the most popular of motion picture actors.
 The Spirit of the Orient, another product of the Vitagraph globe trot- tcTS, promises to demand no small share of the great popularity of the photo-plays of that now famous com pany.
