born in Oakland 81 years ago and he
had been a long resident of the

the firm name of Joseph Batchelder &
Son. He was also painter by trade.
For the last few years of his life he

Bickford and Mrs Everett Penney,
survive. Mr.. Batchelder was a member
of the Blue Lodge, Chapter and Coun
ell and held the Office of recorder in
the Council for many years. He was

bekahs, Knights of Pythias, A. o. U.
w. and Degree of Honor. While at

left for the North, We're in charge of
the Odd Fellows. The floral offerings
at the funeral were in profuson, set
pieces being given by each of the or
ders to which he belonged and by the
Universalist church, all of which show
ed the respect and esteem for the de-
ceased held by the community at
large. His loss will be sadly felt.
Miss Mary York was successfully
operated on for appendicitis at her
home Thursday morning.
Albert Roix suffered the fracture of
one bone below the knee of the right

Temperance day, observed through
out the United states by the w. c. T
u, as a special day on which they
could bring to bear as much influence
as possible for furthering the temper
ance cause, was befittingly and wei
observed by the Waterville w. c. T. U
by a day of prayer at the Methodist
church. Mrs. E. b. Foster opened the
exercises at 10 A. NJ, by telling of tht
different states that had adopted tbs
prohibition law, and she compared
them with the states that granted free
license.
Mrs. Savage of Fairfield, who follow
ed Mrs. Foster, gave very forcefu
address on the efforts that each mem
Der would put forth to further the
cause of temperance and to increase
the efficiency of the union.
The afternoon devotional exercises
were opened by Mrs. Foster. Then Rev
H. C. Turner, pastor Of the church,
gave a very interesting talk on what
he called Personal Responsibility. In
it he set forth the reasons why we
should use possible personal influence
to stamp out demon rum. He suggest
ed writing TO the Maine Senators and
asking them to strain every point to
exterminate the greatest of American
evils.
Rev. Willis NJ. Davis, pastor of the
Free Baptist church, with Prayer a
Power. as his subject, built up con-
vincing argument against the too great
dependence on prayer alone, to ac-
complish an end. He believes that
prayer must be accompanied by good
honest effort If anything is to be
reached from our desires; otherwise
they will necer amount; ito more than
mere desires.
Rev. Isaac LaFleur, pastor of the
Second Baptist church on the Plains,
told of the existing conditions on Wa
ter street. "At present. he said, there
are several places where liquor may be

Thumbs Of Apes.

The gorilla and chimpanzee, when
belong to the higher order or apes,
have many points of resemblance TO
man. but there is one thing they can
not do-that is, twiddle their tnumos.
In the gorilla the thumb is snort anu
does not reach much beyond the pot-s
tom of the first joint of the forennger.
It is very much restricted in its move
ments, and the animal can neither
twiddle his thumbs nor turn them
round SO that the tips describe circle.
There are the same number OF bones
in the hand of a gorilla as in the hand
OF a man, but the thumbs of the mon
key have no separate fiexor or bending
muscle. This is why monkey always
keeps the thumb on the same side as
the fingers and never bends it round
any object that may be grasped. In
the gorilla the web between the fingers
extends to the second joint, the fingers
taper to the tips, and there is cal
losity on the knuckles on which the
animal rests when walking on all
fours.

Cumberland CO.
Superior Court.

Portland, Me-, Jan. 15.-The traverse
jury in the Cumberland superior court
will not report to begin trials until
next Monday. Probably the first case
to be presented to them will be the
assault with intent to kill case against
Nicola Teneriello and Michele Receta-
no. This case was tried at the Sep
tember term, but the jury disagreed.
The case will come up for its second
trial next Monday. The former coun-
sci for the two respondents have with
drawn, and Judge Connolly has assign
ed Robert M. Pennell and Ralph ID.
Brewster to defend the men.
This case may be followed by some
of the pending liquor nuisance cases,
or by another trial for assault with
intent to kill, the case against Joseph
Major.
The respondents in six OF the In
dictments returned by the grand jury
which were not made public were
summoned into court Thursday and
arraigned. These men were all indict-
ed on nuisance charges, and all plead
ed not guilty, furnishing bail for $1,000
early for their appearance from day to
day. They were Val. nj. Canavan'
John w. Haley, John II. Hammond,
Frank j. Scully, Frank J. Gallagher
and Suran Sohigan.
Richard A. Conway was arraigned
Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to
an indictment charging that he had
maintained liquor nuisance. He
furnished bail for his appearance from
day to day. His arrest and arraign-
ment in the higher court on the grand
jury indictment came few hours aft
er he had been found not guilty In the
municipal court Of the charge of un-
lawful possession.
Thinking that he might have bee,
indicted, Roscoe G. Hall, drugg'S
from Gray, came voluntarily to the
court room to ask If there was any

After Mrs. F. H. Brown, president
OF the Union, had concluded the open
ing singing and devotional exercises
she introduced Prof. II. w. Brown
who gave a very forceful and impress
sive talk on the great issue. In part
he said
''It is left to me to sum up the con-
clasiens of a days thought. IT it is
right for a state to have prohibition
law, why is it not right for the ma
ton to have the same? If the Constitu-
ton has been amended three times to
give men freedom of body, then why
is 1t not right TO adu dlothei " BiNe
them freedom of souls?"

There goes out from it the decree that
there shall be no rum sold in this State
There goes out from this community a
man with the executive power, who
has the courage of his convictions, and
who has waeed war against the great
est of American evils; all glory to Gov
ernor w. T. Haines."
"This is great world movement 1t

movement, but as great doctrines
spring from the mind of one thought

ments start from feeble attempts unit
