Congratulations
To THE VIGT0R5
Says Result Will Enable the
Rebels to Wipe Out the
Country's Stain.

A telegram of cOngratulation from
NenustlanO Carranza 10 PanchO Villa,
upon the rebel victory at TOrreOn, was
forwarded by the first chief OF the
revolution early Friday morning. In il
he said:
I have Just received your message,
in which you announce to me the cap
ture of TOrreOn, from where the rem
nant of the defeated federals fled, I'M
der cover of CarKness. heartily con-
graduate you and the officers and SOL
diers for their splendid conduct IN the
IL days of battle. L lament deeply the
losses of so many of the lives of our
valued companions Ihls brilliant trl-
umph brings nearer the final triumph
of our cause with which we will
erase the stain that an army of traitors
and assassins have thrown upon the
name and honor OF our seSSuntTy
First Chief of the Revolution"
A message from Villa was received
at lis D. IN. Friday, in which he an
nounced the capture of four cannon,
1000 shells and an immense amount of
rifle ammunition and small arms am
munitiOn in TOrreOn.
IL of importance to Rebels.
Asked about the Importance of the
victory al TOrreon, Carranza said Fri
day: 1T is Of great Importance, be-
cause we can now concentrate large
forces of our men without fear of the
enemy

when he has gathered all of the de-
tails. He said it would be necessary
to make q very thorough investigation
before giving out anything.
Asked in regard to his plans for the
Monterey and SaltillO attacks, CarranZa
said: Il will not give out my plans
because, although Huerta is a poor sOl~
der. he may have the sense to act upon
them if they were told to him."
In regard to recognition, Carranza
nnnann
therefore he could say nothing.
To Remain in JuareE.
CarranZa expects to remain in Juarez
for some time yet, and has made no
many unofficial congratulations from
abroad and from this country. Nothing
has come from secretary Bryan.
Of the military situation, CarranZa
said: I'VE have rail and telegraph
communication to the outskirts Of
Zacatecas in to the territory of Topic
the outskirts of TampicO and San Luis
POtOsi and close into Monterey and
SaltillO." All these advance guards re-
port to CarranZa daily.

In telegram to CarranZa received
Friday afternoon, Villa reported that
the cavalry under Gems. Hernandez and
Ortega, sent by Villa in pursuit of Gen.
NelascO and his fleeing federals, over
took the rear guard of the federals at
San Pedro de los COlOniaS Friday morn
ing, and in the fight which followed,
100 federals were killed and 153 taken
prisoners. The rebel losses were not
given.
The telegram added that the men

column are discarding their arms and
baggage in their flight, which has now
become rOut. The rebel cavalry is
pressing them closely in an effort to

A hearing was held yesterday re-
garding the appointment of an admin

mons appeared for the petitioner Mrs.
Flora Dunton, daughter of the de-

the late Mrs Hardy, who asked for
the appointment of Edward Shepherd

feelings between the members of the
family. Mrs. Dunton was however
appointed administrator.
There was also a hearing before
Judge Small regarding a petition for
widows allowance in the estate of

Movement to Purchase Longfellow's
birthplace

A relative of Henry w. LongtelloW
has written to the Houghton Mlihlh
Company letter concerning the
movement to buy the birthplace OF
the poet through subscription. The
letter says:
THE birthplace of Mr.. Longfellow
on Fore street, Portland, was not his
parents home 1t belonged to Capt.
Stephenson. an uncle-in-law to the
poet. and the poets mother was only
temporarily visiting there when he
was born. The real Longfellow
home, which was built by the poets
grandfather. Gen, Peleg Wadsworth'
on Congress street, was given by the
poets sister Mrs. Ann Longfellow
Pierce. to the Maine Historical So
ciety as a public museum and me-
mortal. There are kept and shown
the old family furniture and some
books, pictures, and manuscripts. 1t
is still a handsome house, in a good
part of the city, easily accessible to
strangers, and visited by several
thousand every year.
"On the other hand the Fore street
house in which the poet happened to
be born is now in a tenement house
district inhabited mostly by Italians
and is out of the way The house has
been dismantled of its front doorsteps
and best mantelpiece, and its parti-
tons have been changed to fit it for six
families There are no Longfellew
or Wadsworth furniture, books or
manuscripts that can be had to put in
this house.
at is believed that. the movement
for purchasing this birthplace, such
as it is, is not a spontaneous one. 1t
has not the approval of either the
Maine Historical Society nor of the
Longfellow family, nor of any but a
very few Portland citizens"

BUILDING BOOM At LAKE
WESSERUNSETT
New Cottages Already Being Erected.
More to Follow In Spring

Indications at the present time are
that the summer homes at Lake Wes-
serunsett will be increased in the early
spring by the addition of several new
bungalows, while one or more cot
tages are already in the state of con-
struction. Mr. and Mrs NJ. j. Smith
practically completed while Henry
Mitchell's next to the Smith cottage,
built on land leased of Thaxter Reed,
is well under way 1t is in that same
locality that John II. Steward plans
to build in the spring, having already
begun to clear up the lot, in antiei-
kpation of such an undertaking.
Ernest c. Butler Esq. has begun up
on perhaps the most stupendous of
the projects at this charming summer
resort. which when completed will add
greatly to the attractiveness of the
west shore He has nearly finished
the grading of a strip of land with
210 foot wall lake frontage and a 70
foot wall on the brook upon which he
will erect four bungalows. These
structures are TO be completed not
later than June 10, and are to be eX-
actly alike, containing kitchen, living
room, two bedrooms and shed with
yerandahs feet by % feet screened
in Electric lights will be installed.
These bungalows are to be located
near to the cottage which Mr.. Butler
has occupied during the past summer
and on the site OF the Dore cottage,
which is being moved to location
south of the brook and directly west of
the present Butler cottage.
Mr. Butler has also practically COM
pleted his boat house which is built
on the South Channel, twenty-six feet
by about seventy-fve feet 1t has
nine stalls for summer use and is so
arranged that the boats can be drawn
up from each stall and run the whole
l2ngth of the building for storage pur-
poses in the winter season. A walk
has been built from this building to
the cottages in the grove.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER Is, 1914
A Good Play

within the Law given at the
Opera House last Thursday evening
was full of human interest. fairly
true to life, had plenty of thrills and
was the work OF a east of more than
usual merit. Such dramas may be
called good and are pretty sure to be
successful OF its teachings, how
ever. We cannot wholly approve.
Many laws are cruelty unjust. es-
pecially to the poor and otherwise
defenseless. Many just statutes also
are rendered odious by the courts and
the officials charged With their en-
forcement. The power of wealth TO
secure more than justice for itself Is
all too potent. Within the Law is
vivid with these facts. No man could
listen to it without shame for any
fault of his as to the wickedness thus
held up to view. Our objection
comes from the fact that this truly
great play suggests, apparently as its
only remedy, disregard for all law and
scorn for every regulation of society,
dangerous and unwholesome doctrines.
In this land of universal suffrage the
laws are what we make them. If
they are unjust, or if wrong comes
from their unfair enforcement, the
a UrpDt
of people, absolute rulers when mind
ed to exercise our authority. No
power of wealth, no unjust official
not even the greater cunning
that goes with higher intelligence and
education, can work injustice except
by the carelessness and indifference
of the people. For this reason
Within the Law while a magnificent
dramatic production, is ethically or
the wrong track and its teachings
are an undesirable influence How
ever, if lines had been put into thu
mouth of Dick Glider, urging his com
panions to purify the politics of New
York City, we suppose they woult
have fallen fiat
Some day playwright, (perhap!
he is yet TO be born), will win wealth
and everlasting fame with a problem
drama, picturing wrong and injustice
just as wildly as Within the Law
but pointing the way to much sanel
and safer remedy.

DO YOU SUFFER
FROM BACKACHE =?

When your kidneys are weak and
torpid they do not properly perform
their functions; your back aches
and you do not feel like doing much
of anything. You are likely to be
respondent and to borrow trouble,
just as if you hadn't enough al
ready. Don't be a victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine, Hoods
Sarsaparilla, gives strength and
tone to the kidneys and builds up
the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar
combination Of roots, banks and
herbs. No other medicine acts like
it, because no other medicine has the
same formula or ingredients. Accept
no substitute, but insist on having
Hoods, and get it today.

c. G. Lufkin is treating his friends
to a fruit grown in his garden at Glen
Cove Rockport, that is novelty in
this country. 1t comes from Japan
and has somehow acquired the name
of eleagnus longipes, but is not nearly
so bad as that would indicate. In
fact, it would just suit one who is very
fond of particularly choky choke
cherries, which it much resembles In
appearance and taste. Something very
like 1t grows in the western states
called the Buffalo berry. Mr.. Lufkin
is a pioneer in their culture in that
section.
