member until he found himself in the
police station early the next morning
He said upon crosS-eXaminatlon by
Attorney Clair that the bottle was full
when they commenced to drink but he
could not remember whether any 9TH
ers had drank with them or not Wit
ness said he had been drinking Cno
beer previous to meeting Williams and
that on the following morning he had
paid fine for irtoXication. He stated
that when he woke up in the police
station he was told that he had lost
his shoes and CIcrcoat, although they
had been recovered.
Alvin H. SWEET of Waterville testi-
fed that he had seen Williams and
Randall and two other men on the op-
posite side of the river and Williams
oh cyiI- q
a drink and then had thrown the bot
tie away. Williams had taken Randall
about 20 feet away and put him in a
gully. While Randall was sleeping, ac-
Cordng to the testimony, Williams got
up, took the bottle from his coat and
gave the other fellows q drink. Will
lams had then taken the shoes off
RanCalrs feet and had exchanged
shoes with him. The witness and Nc
Farland had taken a boat and had
crossed the river in pursuit of Will
lams, who started to run with Ran
dalrs overcoat under his arm. Will
iians had thrown the overcoat away
and witness HAD finally caught and
brought him back.
Irving L. Mcfarland of Waterville
gave testimony corroborating SWEET )
and testified that when Randall came

liams was brought to the police station

Respondent Testifies

The respolden Mt. Cecil Williams, stat
ed that he was % years of age and
that for a tine he worked for the
city of Waterville. He said that on the
day in question he had met Randall,
who had been drinking. He said they
had drank some reduceB alcohol and
Randall had told him he could sell his
RandaliS) oVe,cOat to get some rum
Randall had told Williams if he would
sell his own shoes Randall would give
him a pair of his old shoes. Respondent
testified that he had sold the overcoat
and had received for it SO which he had
spent for rum. Witness denied that he
had had any Knockout drops or dope
in his pocket. He said that Randall
had refused to give him the shoes as
he had promised so he had taken RAN
dall's shoes from his feet
Attorney Clair argued that it was
all case of drunkenness, that all the
boys scrapes had been connected with
rum and that it was possible the
young boy might be made man.
County Attorney Fisher spoke of the
respondents criminal record.

State VS.. Frank Lemar

Another matter taken up by Judge
Beane was that of giving sentence in
the case of State vs. Frank Lemar of
Gardiner, who had been indicted with
Charles Ward and Eliza b. Ward of
Gardiner for common nuisance and
who through his attorney, G.. w. Hes
elton of Gardiner, had entered the plea
of nolo contendere.
Attorney Heselton stated that the
boy had come as a witness and Mr.
Heselton said that he thought the boy
had told the truth. He stated that on
account of the boys family and on ac-
count of the fact that the boy is now
in an honest business and learning a
trade, he hoped that Lemar might be
put on probation. Judge Beane said in
his opinion the boy had told the truth
on the witness stand.
Lemar was given a sentence of a
fine of $780, costs of s25 and if not
paid three months in Jail, and was put
on probation upon the payment of
costs.

cused by Judge Beane shortly before
10 o'clock. In excusing the jurors
Judge Beane thanked them for their
promptness and attendance and for
their consideration in the cases and he
said that in almost every case their
results would have been about the
same as he would have determined if
he had had the cases alone.
Jury Bill
The jurors were paid at the office of
the county treasurer, the bill amount
ing to S1451.52. for 26 jurors IS days

FASHION WORLD
BY Betty Brown.
Is often a joy to study the freak
ish things Of fashion, and it's always
a double gladness to find that some
oddly which costs a little will give
a much needed touch Of newness to
ones ordinary wardrobe.
Some double comfort is to be had
in the new use Of common Bingham
for blOUses. CrOss-baTTed linen tow
cling is used for the same purpose,
but it makes a heavier blouse than
most women care to wear in warm
weather
The idea Of combining plain coat
with a checked skirt is also as eco
nOmicaI as it is pleasing, and it will
help a good many women to adapt a
last years garment to this years
wearing.
No one will especially regret the
disappearance Of furs as summer ac-
cessOries. Some women who could
afford the most expensive furs have
always regarded their use in summer
as simply baTbaTOus' but the style
has left one happy trail behind it in
the development of the long satin
scarf. Lovely scaTfs are OF black
satin lined with Georgette crepe of
gay color. The extreme length of
these scarfs is three and One-half
yards, and their width is One-half
yard. They are usually weighted
with heavy tassels.
- A queer idea in uneven hens is to
face them with some contrasting
color. For instance, an ordinary
blue satin dress assumes the air of
an imported French creation when
the hem is faced to the depth of nine

Waste Bark REPLACES Raus.

A method Of using waste heml0cA

rag stock in the manufacture Of felt
'"ofing has been developed ut the for

Wis.,, and is now being used CONNER
cially by cooperating mills. according
to an announcement made by the for

mills from 20 to 80 per cent of the
rags is being replaced by waste bark
and that the quality Of the finished
product is equal to that manufactured
solely from rags. Members of the for

the experiments say that the utiliZa
ton of the bark will make it possible
to effect a considerable saving in the

TO CONCEAL FLASH OF GUNS
Efforts Of Military Men Of All coun.
tries Have Long Been Bent In
That Direction.

Both the French and the German
armies have been trying for years tc
discover how to make a gun that shall
tie not merely noiseless, but that shall
emit no flash. For, as Nicolas Flannel
says in La Nature, after dark two OBJ
servers by watching the time can witt
accurate chronometers having lumi
nous dials discover precisely the posi-
ton Of an enemy battery, or three OBJ
servers, regardless of time, can do the
same by grouping their observations
And this merely by the flash of the
guns.
German inventors succeeded by add.
ing minute quantity Of alkaline silt.
to their powder in diminishing the
flash, but they found that in proportion
as they suppressed the flash they in.
creased the smoke. Other substances
added to the powder for this purpose
have been vaseline, alkaline soaps
oxalates and resinates of soda, bariun
and aluminium. None was successful
The French tackled the problem as 8
mechanical rather than a chemical
one. A gun is really only an explosion
motor and it seemed that there ought
to be way Of muffling it's sounds and
its flash as those of other such motors
are mufilcd. It was not until 1909.
when Maxim invented his silencer
that the problem seemed ON the way
to solution. Many other silcncers
most Of which quench much of the
light us well as the sound, have beer
invented since then, but none is prac.

the point of view of sound or Of light
