HORSE MARKET
Boston, Oct. 18—The holiday break j
coming in the middle of the week, af- j
lected the week’s trade in horses to a
considerable extent, and the market
was irregular and quiet. Supplies
were light, with few fresh arrivals,
but these with horses' held over
from the previous week, together
with the entries of nearby seconds,
were amply sufficient for the solw
demand. Prices were easy, and good
horses changed hands during the
week at lower prices than before re
ported for the same quality. There
was a somewhat better inquiry at
tlie sales, but nothing vigorous, and
will not be until general business
improves, especially such as those
wlige horses are needed. All grades
an^types of horses offered sell to
the same slack demand.
Green drafters of 1700 to 1900 lbs.
when offered sell at $275®400;
drafters, 1550 to 1700 lbs., sold at
$175®225; express and wagon
horses, 1400 to 1500 lbs., at $125®
175; good quality acclimated horses
are on sale in small numbers and
sell at $125®200, according to weight
ard age; ordinary seconds, at $23
@100.
J. C. Keith sold at; his Brighton
stables 1 carload of western horses,
and 60 seconds, ’i^iere were no extra
heavy horses offered, and the bids
were slow so that the best horses of
about 1400 weight brought only $200.
Their regular auction day came on
the holiday and while a good many
people attended the sale, few buyers
were out. This week there will be 1
carload of western horses and the
usual run of seconds.
"William Hurwitz. reported a better
tone to tho Bales of the week at his
stables. Prices showed no improve
ment, but the demand was sliiehtly
quicker. There were three carloads
i of western horses offered and 60
seconds. The best sales reported
were on horses of 140‘0 to 1600 lbs.,
which sold at $200@275. This week,
i one carload of fresh country horses
will he offered and there** wil he
about 50 seconds.

Two Winthrop
Churches Unite. .
Winthrop, Me... Oct. 3 8.—The Con
Ri’< Rational and Methodist churches
of the town of Winthrop, following
the plan so successfully carried out
last winter, have united for the com
ing season under the pastor* of the
Methodist church, Rev. Percy J. Clif
ford, meeting alternately in tach of
the churches.
Mr. Clifford 1s starving his sectfnd
year as pastor of the Methodist
church and lias been most successful
in his work here.
He is an earnest and eloquent
preacher, preaching largely a gospel
of optimism, but not afraid to voice
the less popular truths if need arise.
He lias several notable accomplish
ments to Uls credit since coining here,'
but the most striking is the union of
| the two churches, working together in
I perfect* harmony for the benefit of
j both.
He established in tfie Methodist
i church soon after coining here the
'young people's vested* choir, a great
J innovation. In this church, ar.d one
| which has proved most popular.
' When the two churches united last
| fall, the Congrogationalists vested
their young people, and the combined
choirs, numbering about 40 voices,
have been a source of inspiration to
pastor and people.
There are some splendid solo voices
.among them and they have had the
benefit of expert training by Mrs.
Maty Clark Mcllroy, assisted by Mrs.
Rena Mcllroy.
Mr. Clifford has added materially to
the membership of both churches dur
ing his Work here. Among them a
large number of young preple. He
has seen the organization of a union
Christian Endeavor Society, neither
church having previously had a young
people's society in recent years.
Everyone is looking forward with
interest to the union services this
coming winter expecting both pleas
ure and good from the united efforts
of the two societies.
Tiie first of the union services was
held Sunday morning at the Congrc-,
gational church, which has been clos
ed for repairs for a number of weeks.
Tiie auditoriu mlias been newly dec
orated, and presented a fine appear
ance for this service.
Dr. Clifton Gray, president of Bates
college, was the speaker, and it is
hardly necessary to add that he
brought a wonderful message. H:s
I sermon was a most unusual one, hav
ing for a lesson the story of Jesus
calling the demons from the maniac
land causing them to enter the herd
of swine to* their destruction. He
brought out how superstittien ha3
walked hand in Iruapd with culture
through" so many ages, and drawing
from his great storehouse of knowl
edge, described the country where
this story was enacted, told who were
the leading men of that age, and
pointed out the high development-tf
Greek culture, on the one hand, and
superstition on the other. He pointed
out some of the superstitions of mod
ern days, showing that it still plays
a part even with modern culture. He
left an mrgo to enthusiasm as a part
ing thought, to put some of the fine
enthusiasm which we put into other
matters into religious life, and closed
his wonderful address with a wish for
the success of the united churches in
their conviny work.
Next Sunday the services will be •
held at the Methodist church.

Missionary to Mexico
Tells of Conditions There
Miss Estelle Ritchie Gives Graphic
Portrayal of Life in That Country,
at Meeting Tuesday Evening at
• Methodist Church
Miss Estelle Ritchie, a missionary
'to Mexico, spoke before a goodly
gathering of the Woman's -Foreign
Missionary society members at the
Green Street Methodist church Tues
day evening gave a most interesting
discourse on "Mexico As 1 Know it.”
Mis Ritchie has been in Mexico for
over a year, going out from the Pine
Tree Stato from her home town of
Foxcroft under the auspices of the
Foreign Missionary Society of the
Methodist denomination.
'Jlie people of Mexico, she said, are
made up of all races—Negroes, In
diansand half-breeds predominating.
Eighty-five per cent, are illiterate
and cannot read or write.. The school
system of the country is very bad.
Poverty and superstition reign su
preme among the masses. As a peo
ple, the Mexicans are sensitive and
respectful. Banditism is tire result
of the conditions of the nation. It is
easier to steal than to work. They
are ideal farmers if only ■'given the
opportunity. They are a colorful
people ton. They do likh to dress.
Idleness is a great evil among them
[ and they are surely uncleanly. The
I sanitary conditions of the country is
j poor. Corn and beans form the prin
cipal food of the common people.
: The death rate is very high about 42
per cent.
Something must be clone for these
| unfortunates. They do not under
stand the people of these United
States. They have been a very much
| misled people, but arc sure to come
| into their own. The Catholic church
i has done a lot for them and is the
■leading factor of their civil life. The
destinies nf their government are at
I the present in the ahnds of good rul
ers. but they have been duped nrjd
misguided in the past. Our people
have a huge task before them.
In closing. Miss Ritchie appealed
for united aid among the women of
the society for relief work in Mex
ico. saying that she would go back
to that country for another year and
at the end of which time she would
be better able to present their condi
tion in greater detail.
Miss Ritchie Is a young woman, en
ergtic and sincere in her vocation,
and possesses a most charming per
sonality that immediately endears
her to her audience. She assured her
hearers that she would return in
address them some time within an
other year*.

SEWING MACHINE AGENT
CHARGED WITH FRAUD
l Six counts were contained in an
! indictment found against Leroy A.
I Sanderson, who was arraigned in the
| municipal Cburt' Tuesday afternoon
ion a charge of embezzlement, tlie
| complaint being the Singer Sewing
j Machine company, through its man
i ager in ttiis city, James K. McDade.
! Carl A. Blackington was attorney for
j the prosecution. Alfred A. Matthieu
waived the reading of the warrant
and entered a plea of not guilty for
! his c lient, the respondent in the
i case.
The warrant mentioned four occa- i
sions when Sanderson had made al- 1
leged sales of machines and had i
been allowed the commission to • such j
sales by the company On one other (:
occasion, it was alleged, Sanderson j
collected from Joseph G. Couilkird of j
Fairfield « balance due of $32 and |
gave a receipt for the same and hud j
turned over but $16 to the company, i
James 10. McDade. manager for the j
Sewing Machine Company testified j
that Sanderson had been allowed aj;
commission of $12.0(1 on four machines
which he claimed to have sold and !
that he offered fraudulent leasee on j
which he based his claim for com- i1
missions. The machines were after- |
^ards located in storehouses or other;
places.
Tn thp rase or the $.12, Mr. Ale- ■
Dade said that lie had ^ seen the re- :
ceipt of Joseph G. Couillard for $32 i
and that the latter refused to Rive it j
up. He also said that Sanderson ad- '
mitted that he had collected the $32
and had turned over only $lfi.
Arthur F. LaRocque, who is an cm- I
ploye of the Sincer Sewing-Machine j
company testified that, he had rcceiv- ;
rd one machine which Sanderson j
said he had sold in Oakland. _
Attorney,Matthieu said the com- |
plainants had gone about recovering',
on a wrong premise, that they should |
have taken a civil rather than a i
criminal actiop. Judge Atchley con- j
tinued the case until 3 o'clock this |
afternoon and Sanderson was held in 1
the sum of $300 for,his appearance at
that time. Bonds were furnished hy i
the father and brother of the respon'f
ent, T.ouville Sanderson and Arthur
W. Sanderson of Bclf'st.

of Fairfield vs. Frank Sawyer of
Bangor and the Employers Liability
Assurance company being a petition
for a Ward of compensation. Mr. j
Fooler dropped a piece of pulp wood i
‘on his toe which became infected .
with serious results. The Insurance :
company contended that Pooler' was ‘
not employed by Sawyer and later!
contended that it didn’t cover the ac- J
cident because tjio- policy covered1
only employees in Elslworth. Thom- |
as N. Weeks represented fhe Insur- !
once company and Carl Blackington
represented Pooler. ,
The next case was that of Alton ;
Dulac of Fairfield vs. the Fairfield
Manufacturing company and the
Federal Liability Insurance Co.,

employment or not. George A.
Hinckley of Portland represented the
Insurance company. Decisions will
be rendered in these cashs later.
The case ot Wallace E. Lovely vs
the American Wfoolen company and

on these terms.
