Another Chapter in the Monroe
Tar and Feather Case When
Herbert Littlefield
Is Arranged
ANNU'L MIDSUMMER SALE
AND ENTERTAINMENT

Belfast, Me, Aug. 13-(SpeciaD.-
Another chapter in the tar and feather
case which took place in Monroe a
few weeks ago was opened yesterday
Judge Wayland Knowlton, when Chas.
Fogg of Monroe appeared as complain
ant against Herbert Littlefield of that
town, charging him with being one of
the half dozen men who applied the tar
to him at midnight about two weeks
ago. Fogg was represented by H. c..
Buzzell, who was also his attorney at
the previous trial when he had a man
named Twombley arrested on the same
charge. Twombley denied all knowl-
edge of the affair but was held under
bonds for the grand jury. AS he is of
about the same build as Littlefield,
Fogg thought he might have been
mistaken and had the latter arrested.
Littlefield denied having anything to
do with the affair. said he was at
home and abed at the time. AS there
was but one witness, a boy of IS
years, Judge Knowlton decided that
there was not enough evidence to hold
him and he was discharged.
The annual mid summer sale and
entertainment given by the ladies of
the North Church Circle was a pro-
nounced success, and some $50 was
netted. The sale opened at go, Mrs.
M. C. Hill. president of the Circle, and
Mrs. C. w. Atkins. presiding at the
fancy work table; Mrs. Abbie Roix and
Mrs A P Mansfield at the candy ia
bles; Mrs. Frank Wiley and Miss
Julia Perry at the food table and Mrs.
Frank Limeburner and Mrs. Clyde B.
Holmes at the ice cream booth. At
o'clock a pleasing entertainment was
given, including a piano duet by Miss
Amy Stoddard and Mrs. Thomas E.
Bowker: a violin solo by Miss Kath-
crime Hilton of Chicago, accompanied
by Miss Helen Sleeper of Wellesley;
reading by Miss Katherine Durgin
Kittredge; and soprano solo by Mrs.
Bowker.
Pierre Tartoue, the celebrated young
French artist, known on both sides of
the water as the foremost pastelle art
list, arrived in Belfast Wednesday
night and with his young American
wife, formerly Miss Alma Dodworth,
will pass a month or more at the Dod-
worth summer place on the North
Shore, Northport.

Special Cable to The Washington HerId.
Paris, Oct. u.-One result of the war
has been a distinct religious revival in
France. So-caIled clerical peril has dis
appeared from the popular Imagination
in the force Of the real peril of the Ger
man invasion. Everywhere the priests
nave been distinguished for their heroism
and their devotion to the patriotic cause
is shared by many members Of religious
orders, both men and women.
Able Iuchat a sergeant in a cyclIst
corps, was killed on the field of battle
after having been mentioned in dispatchl;
on the previous day.
Able Monbru. a lieutenant of infantry,
fell at the head Of his company. Another
clerical lieutenant, Able GrenIer, was
struck down in leading his men in a
charge. Able FUmin, an ensign, died also
in battle. In the imperishable roll Of
soldier-priests figure twelve abbes, who
were either officers or private soldiers.
He Feared Not Death.
The Journal Official contains the follow
ing lines typical of the gallantry shown
by French priests in the present cam
paign:
''Abbe BuscoZ, adjutant of the Ninety
seventh Infantry, has died as a hero. He
had just been promoted a second neu-
tenant on the field OF battle for two acts
Of bravery. His last hours were admira-
Bile. He dashed to the attack with his
men while crying: Il am a priest. fear
not death. En- avaunt""
Other priests unable to serve in the
army on account of their age are show
ing great devotion either as chaplains on
the field of battle or in ministering to the
wounded in stations where hospitals are
established.
Some pass the entire night in this
service, bringing the men material COM
forts in the shape Of cigarettes and
chocolates as well as spiritual consola-
tion. In other eases soldier-priests wear
ing a stole with Christian emblems over
their uniforms have buried their fallen
comrades in consecrated ground.

Virginia family. Stephen Burton was in

from Thomas Burton, of Longnor Hall,
Shropshire, England. He is said to have
been a direct descendant of Sir Edward
Burton, of England. His second son,
