rHn ALLEGED ooUNTERFEIrnRs
stin Another Man in Trouble.

]. w Bicknell OF Canton, the alleged coun-
terfeiter, arrested by Marshal Bisbee Wednes-
day, was brought to this city on that day, ar
raigned before Commissioner Rand and held
in $3.50 bonds. Henry M. Harmon was arrest
ed by Marshal Bisbee, in Bangor, Friday,
brought here Saturday, arraigned and, plead
ing not guilty, gave bonds in $500 to recognize
from day to day.
Deputy Marshal Marble arrested d. S
Thompson OF Lyermore Falls, for making the
dies from which the coins were struck, aud he
was arraigned before Commissioner Rand Sat
urday morning and gave bail in $1,000 These
cases win be brought before the June term at
Bangor.
There are some new developments In these
eases. 1t has been alleged that all these men
had been swindling people in Maine
under the firm name Of the "Fac Smile Com
pany." The firm advertised" thirty eight dol
lars for one dollar" A deeoy letter showed
the firm was selling photographs Of several
U. S, notes OF different denominations on
paste board arranged fan form, the denomina-
lions aggregating SSs. The fifty cent gold
pieces were advertised $500 for S125; a thous-
ana Tor SZUU DeLecklye AdCllfath OF the Be-
cret service traced the die with which the
pieces were stamped to d. W. Thompson mem
toned above who is ieweler at Livermore
Falls. He is said to be an expert jeweler and
die-sinker, and Is believed BY the government
officers to have been merely tool aud viii
probably be used as o government witness.
The alleged real estate bonds foand on his per-
son when arrested were beautifully engrossed.
They bore handsome seal, were signed by the
President and treasurer OF the company In
Washington and attesied by forged signatures
Of congressman and influential men in Wash
ington. They insured ten per cent interest
and were placed with many farmers as seeuri-
ties for loans. Four thousand dollars IN these
Sbonds" we're bought, il is alleged by Harmon
from one j. A. Ballock, OF Washington, for
ninety dollars. The metal from which the
bogus fifty cent gold pieces were made was Of
the same material as Is used in manufacturing
cheap jewelry. About q thousand OF these
remnants were bought By Harmon from j.
Briggs & Son. Providence, 70 be used as stated
in the manufacture Of bangles for bracelet
orn4mentation.

ST. LUKE's.
Anniversary of the sunday school.

The ST. Luke's Cathedral Sunday School an
niversary is always held ON Whitsunday, and
consequently the anniversary was celebrated
yesterday afternoon. There was a large atten-
dance and the sacred edifce was filed with the
perfume of the childrens floral emblsms.
Bishop Nicely was in attendance.
From the report Of the Superintendent OF
the School, Rev. Canon Sill, we learn that the
work of the institution has been most satisfac-
tory and encouraging. Though the conditions
OF the parish do not admit of any very large in
crease In the number Of children attending the
school, the number ON the register is slightly
in excess OF that OF several years past, while
the weekly average of attendance is much i'm.
proved, being 96 in the large school and so in
the small, or 126. This increase shows greater
interest by the scholars, and great earnestness
and regularity of the teachers. The teachers
work cannot always be pleasant, but the man
ner in which they have fulfilled their work
shows that ii was labor of love. They have
helped the Superintendent, and he returns
thanks. He is especially gratifed at tho
marked improvement in the singing aud re-
sponses, showing the interest of the children
and their realizing sense OF tho privilege Of
20 classes in the larger school, and an infant
class of 60, held in the chapel under the efli-
cient management of Mrs. Carpenter, ably as
sisted by Miss Sadie Smith. There are two
Bible classes, one OF tho older girls conducted
by Miss Shaw, studying the Gospel, the other
OF young men instructed by the Supernten-
dent, aud studying Blount's Household Theolo-
81. The library under charge of Misses Rob
inson and Bradford has been augmented by the
purchase OF over hundred volumes. The
yearly offerings amount to $1S9.6i.
The teacher Of the infant school reports:
Number ON register 60, largest number present
any Sunday as number now attending 30 mum
Der graduated into the older school 10.
Older scholars deserving honorable mention;
Herbert Mariner, Lille Chambers, Fred
Ebheson, Ellen Summerson, Fred Hale.
Younger members: Eddie Bryant aud Ruth
SymondS.
In the school six is the highest average.
There were four scholars perfect. Prizes were
given TO 50 who had attained over ST. There
were o2 attained an average Of 5. The total
number OF scholars on the books Is 1876.
After the usual exercises and the Bishops
address, the children came forward with their
floral offerings, each class's emblems forming
rung in the beautiful Jacobs Ladder The
exercises were great success.

A Rockland Practioal ,Toxe

Tuesday afternoon, as one of the Rookland
undertakers was driving up Park street In
that city with coiiin-box in his wagon, he
noticed the cover Of the box was coming off.
He arranged II, but almost Immediately on
turning around, found II again displaced. He
again fixed IL, and drove on, but In few mo-
ments he was startled by a laundering noise,
and turning found the cover completely of,
and inside the box lay the body OF man.
The undertaken thought he must be dreaming,
but stopped and investigated. The occupant
Of the box sat up and demanded TO DO car
ried homo. He was summarily bounced,
erumbing considerably at being disturbed,
and seeming TO regard his selection OF vehi-
as most natural and proper thing. Had ne
not kicked the cover off the box, he would
have had long ride. 1t seems that the I'M
dertaker's wagon had stopped for few mo-
ments OF Main street, while the driver made q
call; and when be was inside some mad wags
bad induced fellow who had been looking on
the rum when 1t was white to allow himself q,
be placed in the box, telling him that he would
be sent home.

SECOND PARISH.
Anniversary Exercises OF the Sunday
School.

The services at this church yesterday were
of special interest. The pulpit was supplied by
Rev w. F. Crafts OF Brooklyn, noted Sun
day school worker. His address In the fore
noon was for teachers and others on reading
the Bible with RELISH" based on Psalms 1l9;
100 literal Interpretation of which is "Lord
give me relish" This relish, said the speaker,
depends, LIST, on an increased spirituality or
spiritual perception, I'd, on the use of our inn
agination, reading not only with our eyes but
with our imagination, Sd, on purpose and
plan, residing with meeknass and without pre-
iudice, not for proof texts to establish some
preconceived theory Ath, on variety of meth
dds as chonologcal,y, topically, Geographically,
socially &c. Lastly on application.
The sixty-sixth anniversary Of the Sunday
school was observed in the afternoon. The

ing five officers and 80 teachers; the largest At
tendance, S92; volumes in library 5il; cash re-
eeived $49s.7S; the Chinese department has
been we'll sustained; the infant department Is
an effective agency. Mr. Crafts, In his address,
said the Bible was like letter, a lamp ire, a
friend, mirror, water and sword His re-
marks were made veryiinteresting by his pleas
ant and familiar manner, his many illustra-
tons and by oriental objects exhibited. The
attendance was large,
In the evening Mr.. Crafts spoke ON 'the sue
oessfnl men of today and what they say Of the
secrets Of success" The lecturer had sent a
series OF questions to about 800 prominent men,
many Of whom answered them, bringing ont
the following facts: 81 per cent were brought
mp on farms, q per cent In villages, while only
Z per cent were reared in cities; rs per cent
were compelled to work one hour or moro each
day from childhoodi 10 per cent had to leave
school between the ages of Is and 20 yeara to
aid in the support Of the family; rs per cent

ADVICE TO MOTHERS Mus. WNsLows
SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used when
children are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the lit
tie sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as "bright as a button"
1t is very pleasant to taste. 1t soothes the

wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best
known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising
