Our Finnish Future Citizens.

A teacher iu one of the rural schools
of Paris says that among the brightest OF
her scholars are the children OF Finnish
parents, Of whom quite part OF the
school is composed. Three Finn fam
lilies in the district have six children
each, though not all of them are yet of
school age.
In the Forbes district, where the school
has been small for the past few years,
there are said tn be at present over TWEEN
ty children under school age, indicating
that in the near future there will be q
school of considerable size in that dis
trict. Though only few years ago the
residents of the territory were almost en-
tirely of old New England stock, the
children referred to above are mostly
Firms.
Apparently twill not be long before
the future citizens in the rural schools
of the town will be mostly of Finnish
parentage.

Pardon Refused Joe Bill.

On Wednesday hearing was given by
the governor aud council at Augusta on
the petition for pardon of Ignazio Al
banes, commonly known as Joe Bill.
Joe Bill on May II, 1911, shot and killed
his wife, Rosie Bill, at their home In
Rumford. He then surrendered himself
to the officers. At the term of court in
October he was tried and convicted Of
murder. An appeal was taken to the
law court, which sustained the verdict,
Justice Haley filing dissenting opinion.
A life sentence was imposed.
At the hearing Joe Bill was represent
ed by Hon. Frank A. Morey of Lewis
ton, who presented petitions signed by
between HOO and 1900 people. Mr..
Morey based his argument on the asser-
ton that the offence was not murder,
but manslaughter, and on the dissenting
opinion of Justice Haley, claiming that
the accused did not have fair trial.
Attorney General Pattangall and Coun-
ty Attorney Beliveau appeared In opposi'
ton to the granting of the pardon.
In executive session the council refus.
ed the pardon.
