JAMES K. HACKETT, MILLIONAIRE AND
 BARON 45 TODAY,

James Keteltas Hackett, who re- gently inherited a fortune which puts
 him into the millionaire class and
 makes him the worlds richest actor, is a Canadian by birth. He was born
 at Wolfe Island, Ont. Sept. 6. 1869.
 and will be forty-f1ve years old to-
 morrow. Besides being a plutocrat. the actor is a nobIeman, although he kept that fact a secret until a few months ago, when the skeleton got out of the closet. MT. Hackett at first
 bitterly denied that there was any blue blood in his veins, but when the
 report continued to be circulated. and the actor was accused of being 8 press agent lord, he was forced to admit what he called ''rny dreadful secret. As proof, he pointed to the Court Journal of Oct. 12. 1889, which
 may be inspected by any Missourians at the British Museum.
 Baron Hackett died at New Or leans of yellow fever He was na-
 tive of IBeland, whose ancestors erni-
 to the Prince of Orange and served in
 the French army at Waterloo. The Barony of Hack ettstow1, originally an
 Irish peerage, is now dormant. The
 dignity devolves upon cousin ger mane of the late Baron. Mr. Hackett, an American comedian
 The "cousin germane" and sAmer-
 ican comedian referred to was James
 Henry Hackett, famous on the Ameri-
 can stage, and the father of Baron James Keteltas Hackett, our hero. MT. Hackett's mother, Clara c. Hackett, died when James K. was an infant of two. The son inherited the dramatic instincts of his parents, and, although he graduated from the College of the
 City of New York and studied law for a year, he soon abandoned all thought of a legal career and turned to the stage. At seven he had made his theatrical debut on the z mateur stage, and at twenty-two he made his first
 professional 1appearanea, playing the part of Francois in The Broken Seal" at the Park, Theatre in Phila-
 delphia. Since then he has become one of Americas most popular ac- tors, and has been star since 1898, He married Mary Mannering.Sth Eng
 fish actress, in 1897. She divorced
 him, and MT. Hackett married Bea-
 trice Mary Beckley, also an English woman, who had been his leading woman.
 The fortune left to MT. Hackett by
 his niece, the late Mre. Minnie Hack
 cit Trowbridge, amounts to about $1,- 500, ,000,t which. is more than ever 3
 star can hope to save from his stage
 earnings. Under a court order, the income from the estate is being paid to the actor, who gets the bulk of the fortune because Mrs. Trowbrfage
 failed to name a residuary legatee.
 The entire share due to Mir. Eackett
 will not be paid over for several
 months, so persons with promising gold mine and oil well stocks for sale
 may as well save their stamps for the present. sg
 MT. Hackett is not only entitled to
 call himself Baron. but he also wears the emblem Of the Sons of the Amer ican Revolution. His great grand
 father, the Rev. Abraham KeteItas was a delegate to the convention
 which framed the United States Con- stitution. and also signed the Consti- tuition of New York, as we'll as fight ing throughout the revolution.

CLEANED enticingly through the lace I'M
derskirt, completed the maids get-ups.
VELVET NECK BANDS.
The fashionable neck band is boon to
women who dress ala mode, but have
not quite the bloom of the debutante.
Best of all this device is not middle-aged
in effect, for it is extremely popular with
the younger set. who need no first aid to
freshness.
Any width band that one likes is cor
rect, and it can be plain, decked with
jewelled slides, or form an extremely
fetching background for pearl neck
lace. The velvet bracelet-just a tie of
ribbon-is quite a bit used. 1t goes per-
fectly with the ruff1ed skirts and other
modish 1870 revivals.
NEW BLOUSES.
The raglan sleeve is the hall mark of
all the snartest blouses this year. These
vary somewhat in cut and adjustment.
but have the raglan trick of starting
from the neck instead of from the Shout
der line. All the lighter washable silks,
with crepe-de-chines and taffetas are
made after this style, and blouses of
colored batistes, especially those in yell
low and pink, are the very newest de-
velopment in the blouse field.

+, FROM SUBSCRIBERS George W. Eaton of
Chelsea, Mass, in renewing his subscription
to The Journal says: 81 don't want to miss the
dear old home paper. have taken it so long,
l should he lost without it,. Now l am confin-
ed to the house and also to my bed. and want
all the reading can get, especially the Maine
papers, that may keep in touch with the out
side world. l am writing this on my back in
bed, where have been these thirteen years.
and all ian do now is to read the papers and
write now and then to my friends and to M.
c. Diworth of Florence, Mass, of my old
comrades in Thomas H. Marshall Post Belfast.
He tells me he belongs there now. but got
my transfer to Chelsea Post. Well. want
the good old journal as much as l do the let
tiers receive from Belfast and Waldo. l was
a Belfast boy and l think good deal of the
old home and of Waldo and would get back
there if l could. But l am confined here in
Chelsea and must make the best of it, though
my mind will run on the Pine Tree State, and
think it always will. l cannot help it. Home
is home you know. Monroe subscriber
writes: "Miss Newell's letters have been dear,
and that don't half express it. Now that she
has returned home hope she will continue to
write, l am sure whatever she writes will be
intensely interesting hope that in June she
will take the ride from Belfast to Camden that
she told the lady about down to Florida and
give US description of it in letter to The
Journal. am sure it would be a charming
letter. wish Alden Blethen would write once
in while from Seattle. l always enjoy Mr..
Williams letters from Missouri and wish he
wrote oftener. l am always pleased to see
letter from Albert J. Robertson. He used to
be one of our best boys" Our subscriber also
wishes there could be more in The Journal in
regard to the future life, but that we must
leave to the religious press aad the pulpit.

Corn Prospects Encouraging.

Hon. Bert M. Fernald writes to the
agricultural editor of the Lewiston Sun
that the corn prospects at the moment
are encouraging. The acreage is with
plenty of moisture and the land is in
condition for tilling. The fact that we
have had cold winter, and cold March
and April leads us to believe that we are
likely to have a warm summer. The
price paid for corn is the highest in
thirty years; the farmers are taking un-
usual interest in the industry. and we
shall expect to have large pack OF
