He was due to meet his charmer,
and he dressed himself with care. His
patent feathers shone like diamonds,
not a speck was there. His vest was
of the latest cut. his topper bright and
smart; and his morning coat and
trousers were sartorial works of art.
His cuffs. his gloves, and collars beat
the finest things I've seen, while the
color Of his necktie would have turned
Beau Brummel green. He arranged
his diamond scarfpin, fixed his eye
glass in his eye, grasped his gold
knobbed stick and started out to con.
quer or to die. He jumped into a tax
icab, and bowled along in style. His
darling met him at the door with
frown instead of smile, she treated
him quite frigidly, and left him in dis
grace. Though his toilet was elab.
crate, he hadn't washed his face

o'clock. All records of attendance
were surpassed. Lobby, reading rooms,
pool and billiard room, bowling alleys
and swimming pool all found their
patrons in numbers that they could
not accommodate conveniently, but
those who We're deprived of taking part
in the sports by earlier corners de-
rived an equal share of amusement
from looking on.
To many the inspection of the upper
floors of the building where are located
the dormitory quarters proved an In

be in the lobby were highly entertained
for all of half an hour by the playing
of Samuel Titcomb at the piano.

COURT DECISIONS

The following rescript has been re-
ceived by Clerk Of Courts C. w. Jones OF
Kennebec county:
Hogan vs. The Great Northern Paper Co.
Per Curtain:
We have examined the entire evidence
In this case with great care and are I'M
able to discover sufficient testimony to
warrant finding that the defeudant was
negligent in the performance or non
performance OF any duty 1t owed the
plaintiff. The jury must have been 10
fiuenced by sympathy or misconceived
the force and application of the evidence.
It Is the opinion of this court that the
verdict was manifestly wrong.
Motion for new trial sustained Re-
ceived Oct. 1, 1914.

or mistake on the part Of a referee.
appointed under Rule of Court, his
finding is conclusive on questions both
of law and fact.
q. me IaCt tnat the reIeree states
in his findings Of law which, upon ex-
animation by the court might be
deemed unsound, is immaterial. The
determination Of the referee is final.
8. The word mistake" used in this
connection does not meman an error In
Judgment but some unintentional err
ror such as mathecatical computa-
ton.
4. Rule of Court XIV, adopted in
1908, provides that "iQ references by

AUGUSTA PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE NOTICE

The latest in swindles has been
sprung IN Augusta and from appear
ances emulates the famous Lewiston
sewing machine swindle. A smooth
looking individual with glib tongue
has chosen Augusta as his field and
for his own special benefit has created
the office OF state inspector of
lamps"
One of Augustus housewives, upon
answering vigorous ringing Of the
doorbell Saturday evening was met
with Demand that doors be flung
open and the man be allowed to en-
ter. She refused. He insisted. She re-
fused again and he attempted to ex-
plain that he was inspector Of lamps
and that refusal to allow him to enter
and infinitely inspect all gas fixtures
and lamps, other than electric lights
would result In the insurance being re-
fused on the beginning Of such and
such a month. However. continued re-
fusal of his commands" seemed to
peeve the IMAM" whereby he became
insulting.
Suffice to say, the excuse did not
work and the lady's suspicious were
aroused. Augusta people would do well
to beware of state inspector OF

 HEARINGS OPENED
To Map Out Plan of Separating
 TrolIeys From Mono poly Control.

washington, Oct. 19-PubHc hear fngs on the new application of eastern railroads for increased freight rates which they contend are necessary be- cause Of the world wide financial exi- gency due in part to the. European war were begun here today before the interstate commerce commission.
 Todayss hearing was given over to g statement for the railroads. Daniel D. Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. made the opening statement for the roads.
 MT. Willard called attention to the decision of the commission in the former case wherein was stated that esthe net operating income of the railroads in official classification territory is smaller than is demanded in the interest both of the general public and of the railroads and to the fact that the railroads had already taken action to secure additional rev. enues through various advances and changes of practice.
 "A war such as that now raging causes great and immediate disturb ance to industry, commerce and if nance. It causes contraction of cred it and great restriction if not the ac- tuaI stoppage of international trade as sell as serious disturbance to do-, it has thrown the security markets of the world first into panic and then in to suspension of operations.
 'tInsofar as the war and it's conse- quences tend to change the conditions surrounding the enlistment of new capital they tend to change the fun damenta1 relation between railroad and shipper. for the cost of capital is one of the most important elements of the cost of transportation.
 'sIt is known that the railroads of the United States have over $520,- 100000 of outstanding obligations which will mature and must be met within the next twelve nnonths alone
 Further, as nearly as can be as- eertained, there are more than three billion dollars in value in American Railrpad securities held abroad as in vestgnents. The demands for cash in Europe, growing out of the present situation, will doubtless result in large selling of such securities when the markets or stock exchanges are again opened and the effect of sell ing upon railroad credit and relative subjects is causing much concern.
 with all this in mind, it will readily be seen that the available supply of and probable demand for new capital as we'll as the interest rates thereon. are matters of great not only to the railroads, but to those who depend upon them for transportation"
