YOUNG SCAA1Ps.-Saturday noon two boys
named Peter Sullivan and Charles Dorrity and
two others named BARLEY and Foley entered
the confectionery store of Jacob Pearson, atthe
corner of Cross and Free streets, by a cellar
window, and robbed the till of about five dol
lars in loose change. Mr.. Pearson was absent
at dinner and the door was locked. They
broke out pane of glass in the front window
and escaped. A clerk in Parker's grocery
store noticed them when they got out of the win
dow and gave description to the Officers. A
hackman saw Dorrity and Sullivan steal two
fans from Days store on Middle street, and
took Hanson and Miles in his hack and they
soon overhauled them and took them to the
station. Officers Steele and Merrill secured
Bartlett and Foley and locked them up.

BASE BALL.


At last the Bowdons have won game and
they are happy, and as this is the third game
won they are just thrice happy. The third
game of the Bowdoin Colby series was played
Saturday and resulted in favor of the Bowd oins
by score Of II to 4, thus giving them two out
of three games played. The principal features
of the game were the fine pitching of Phillips
and Bosworth, the catching of Record and the
fielding of Wilson and Ring. Barker led at
the bat, making four base hits out of five times
at the bat.
Perhaps it may please some of the editors Of
the papers in the state which have abused the
Bowdoins so much of late to look at the fol-
lowing score and then compare it with that
made by other state mines this season:

Cruel Treatment of Sailors.

Capt. George B. Austin of the ship Scream
er, was before United States Commissioner
Clifford Saturday, charged with extreme cru
city to his crew. The complaint was m ade by
Mexican sailor named Manual Maria Alex
ander. His story was that after sailing from
Havre he was set upon by the captain and
mate, who were father and son, for some trif-
ling offence and severely beaten. He attempted
to defend himself but was overpowersd after a
brief struggle, put in irons and thrown into the
hold of the vessel with such violence that it is
wonder he was not killed outright. There he
was kept on bread and water for three days.
He was then taken on deck, tied up and beaten
with a rope. His entire body was covered with
cuts, showing that he has undergone the most
brutal treatment.
Just after leaving Havre one of the sailors
leapsd overheard out of sheer desperation at
the treatment he received from these officers.
The man was probably drowned, as no stop was
made, or any notice whatever taken of the fact
that he mad jumped overheard.
There was probable cause found, but Austin
decided not to have the matter go further, aud
settled with Alexander, paid all costs to the
government and was discharged. The sailors
story of the usual treatment accorded to them
during the entire passage was anything but COM
plimentary to the officers.

and description, some of them partly or
wholly filled with dirt, the debris of de.
cayed vegetation, loose fragments, large
and small, round and angular, sharp and

sticks up its singing points and cutting

Catching Cold

One chief danger from colds is the cx-
hausted state of the body that first occurs,
so it is not able to resist unfavorable in
fluences. People who are not very vigor-
Gus should avoid over-exertion and keep
the strength up to the highest point. It
will help those prone to a cold to sleep all
tney can. Another cause Of colds is eat
ing too heartily after a days work, wnen
there are not forces enough to digest the
food and keep up the circulation. Eat
moderately at night If yol would avoid
acold. A cold in its early stages may be
broken up By hot foot baths, warmth to
the body, especially q hot pack or hot
bath in the middle Of the day, with nlucn
friction and quiet in q comfortable room.
Il is not advisable TO take q hot bath at
