of the "cousin party" was read.

Mileage Rate Goes Up.

1t seems that the Democrats state
ment last week regarding the mileage
books on the Grand Trunk was incorrect
in one particular. 1t did seem little
peculiar that the Grand Trunk was not
following the other railroads in boosting
the mileage rate universally, but the in
formation came from a source presumed
70 be authentic, and the Democrat lack
ed time TO confirm or disprove it.
As anpounced, the Grand Trunk will,
beginning Oct. 1st, issue new mileage
book, of 500 miles, good for bearer in
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
for Sll .25, or cents per mile. But
the single state 1000 mile books, hereto
fore sold at cents per mile, will be dis
continued, and the new form of book
will be the only one Issued. This is
Of course practically an increase of the
mileage rate from to 2 cents, as has
been made by the Maine Central and
other roads.
But cheer up! The worst is probably
vet to come, some time in the future.
The big railroad lines are preparing to
make "readjustment" of fares, on a
basis of two aud one-half cents mile,
and in time the increase will probably
spread to the mileage books of New
England. So make the most of the days
of grace while they last.

Suicide OF william l.. Blood.

With . charge from his own shot gun
William L. Blood of South Paris ended
his life late In the afternoon of Wednes-
day, at the house of Charles Edwards,
where he has boarded for about year
and half.
Mr.. Blood had been in poor health for
some years, and ever since he had been
at Mr.. Edwards had talked about max
ing away with himself, and had discuss
ed poison, shooting and other methods.
So common had this become that the
people paid but little attention to 1t, not
thinking that he would work himself up
to the point of committing the act.
Wednesday afternoon Mr. Blood went
to his own house near by, which is occu-
pied by a tenant, and got his shot gun,
and returning told Mrs. Edwards that he
was going to use 1t on himself. She told
him he had better pray over the matter,
and he went out on the back porch,
where she heard him apparently in
prayer. Coming in he bade her good
by, gave her some messages, and
went out again. While she did not cred
it his statement, Mrs. Edwards was wor-
red, and w. S. Starbird, a neighbor,
just then coming along, she spoke to him
aud asked him If be thought Mr.. Blood
would do it. He secuted the idea, but
they started around the house to look
after him. Before they turned the cor
ner they heard the discharge Of the gun.
Mr.. Blood was found lying on knoll
back of the house and two or three rods
distant from it.. The shot had taken ef-
feet at the base of the brain. He lived a
few minutes, but was unconscious.
Coroner William j. Wheeler was called,
but considered no action necessary, as it
was a plain case of suicide.
Mr.. Blood was born in Harvard, Mass,
Jan. 10, 1S47, but had lived most of his
life in South Paris. He was carpenter
by trade, but had not been able to work
for a year or two. He leaves two daugb-
ters in Somerville, Mass, and another
Ruth, wife of Philip Bonney,
and a son Harold, who live in Auburn.
The funeral was held at the Baptist
church Friday afternoon, attended by
Rev. Z. A. Davis, and was in charge of
Mt. Mica Lodge of Odd Fellows, Of
which he was a member. Interment was
in Riverside Cemetery
