Ex.American Consul to Prague
Meets Hall0weIl Relative

Urban ]. Ledoux, who declares that
this cinemaforum is in the interests of
the brotherhood Of man. was pleasant
1y surprised Friday afternoon by proof
that his undertaking is making for the
brotherhood Of man in a manner in
y hich he did not contemplate. Short
ly after the completion Of Friday af-
ternoon's program a stalwart young
man presented himself to Mr.. Ledoux
as Peter Ledoux Of Hallowell and ex-
planned that he believed a relationship
might exist between them. A bria.
conversation established the tact that
the two men are own cousins.
It appears that there were three
brothers and a sister in the last pre-
ceding Ledoux generation and young
Peter Ledoux had heard from his auni
that there were two uncles somewhere
in the country, but be did not know
where they were, had never seen them,
and Of course did not know whether or
not he had cousins. These two uncle'
are living in Biddeford, Joseph and
Louis: the Hallowell young mans ia

also, but he had lived away from his
family and never mentioned any but
his sister.
Peter Ledoux Of Hallowell. gran
ite-cutter, read in the Kennebec Jour
nal Of Friday morning an interview
with Urban J. Ledoux and learned
that the ex-American consul to
Prague. Bohemia, was to be at the
Augusta Opera House Friday after
noon. He at once made plans to greet
Mr.. Ledoux and find out if relation.
ship existed. Both were greatly
pleased with the result Of the inter-
view. They entered the Journal build
ing to relate the unusual occurrence
and further discuss their family his
tory.
This is not the first strange inciden.
of the kind in the life Of eX-Consul
Ledoux. Some years ago he saw the
name Ledoux in the vestibule of Il
New York office building and knowing
that the name spelt thus is rare Went
to the office indicated and found Il
member Of his family who had just
given up a long and expensive cam
paign attempting to locate the branch
of the family which the ex-consul rep
resents.

etely and the supervisor handling the

is assured that the physician will start

out using the emergency service much
valuable time would be lost IN looking
up names and numbers.
Manager Herbert Of the local exchange
states that the public apparently appre-
ciates the facilities afforded and that
few requests are received that are not
real emergencies The service is such
valuable one to the public generally that
it should not be used excepting In
emergencies any more than one would
ring in a false fire alarm.

Among the attractions of the May Fes-
tival to be held one week from today in
City hall will be the Punch and Judy
show given three years ago by Harold
Partridge at Odd Fellows hall. Those
who saw 1t then will not miss the chance
to see 1t repeated and every grown-uo

Mr.. Partridge's Punch should improve
this opportunity of hearing him. Punch

if it has ever been better presented than
by Mr.. Partridge.

Mr.. Barnes. The carbon copies had ia
DO with discussions or suggestions
made by Mr.. Barnes to Colonel Roose-
welt in regard to the latters action on
legislation just prior to the time Col
onel Roosevelt became governor.
The first letter was dated Nov. Is,
1898. In it the writer said he had re-
ceived applications from certain Of
ficeholders under Governor Black for
disappointment. The writer said, how
ever, he would not insist upon the re-
appointments being made.
The second letter also mentioned ap-
peintments and recommended candi-
dates for certain offices. Mr.. Barnes
said he understood people had oppos-
ed appointments he favored because of
my nefarious self"
The writer also mentioned the abuse"
he said he understood had been made
of him to the ADDRESSED.
The other letters also had to do with
applicants for appointment to state Of

Roosevelt's coming inaugural message to
the legislature.
Mr.. Barnes expressed disapproval Of a
proposed measure by which senators
would be elected for four years and as
semblymen for two.
Such a thing" Mr.. Barnes wrote,
would give the voters little opportunity
to register approval or disapnroval."
