How George HI. Wilcox was Captured.


Last winter George H. Wilcox and man
named Devine broke into George w. Simon
ton & Co.'s store. Devine was Captured soon
after, but Wilcox escaped and left town. He
returned to the city the first of the month, and
Officer Firth, on whose beat Wilcox's father
and at his fathers house,
About 2 a. M, a few nights ago, officers
Firth and Skillings, after stationing ether off
GERS around the house, which is the large
wooden one on the corner of Hampshire end
Middle streets, went to Wilcox's street door
and knocked, anC after considerable whisper
ing, during which time the officers heard bolt
up stairs slipped back, the lower door was
opened, and the officers going up stairs entered
a room hich had about a dozen doors in it,
One Of these doors had bolt on it, and the
officers thinking this might be the bolt which
they heard. opened the door and found that it
opened on to SIZED. They examined the roof
of the house and shed, but did not find young
Wilcox, be evidently having gone over the
root on to the next building, his bare feet en-
abling him to climb like a cat. The officers
re-entered the house, and Officer Fifth asked
where George slept when at home, and was
shown room in which was bed that appar-
emily had not been used. Officer Firth, sus
pectiDg some trick, went to the bed, and shoy-
ing his hand under the clothes discovered that
the sheets were warm as though a person had
just left them. This convinced him that he
had cornered his game, and the officers began
thorough search of the house, without any
result. The officers then expressed their de-
termination to try the roof again, which they
did. Young Wilcox, who had left his hiding
place. seeing their intention attempted to
leave the roof by short ladder and enter
window i'll the side OF the house below the
roof. He Tas at once discovered by the officer
stationed on the ground, who notified the Off
GERS in the house. Officer Firth started for the
roof, and then began the fun. Wilcox, who
was in his bare feet, could run over the roof
and round the dormer windows with the great
est ease, keeping out of sight and giving the
officers considerable trouble. But at last when
he found he was cornered he came out and
coolly asked Officer Firth if they were looking
after him. The officer said he believed they
were, whereupon Wilcox expressed his entire
readiness to go with them, and he was taken to
the station.

Mr.. Clifford ON History.

To the Editor of the Press:
The natives of York county held their an
nual reunion at Long Island last Thursday
Prevented from business engagements from
being present at that festival, we beg the favor
OF portion of your space in reply to some of
the remarks of the orator on that occasion.
William H. Clifford, Esq is we'll known in
Portland. He is Democratic orator, speak,
ing to audiences where many Catholics are
willing listeners. This gentleman was recent
ly the orator at q festive gathering of the ma
tives of York county. Now, as Catholics, we
do not set ourselves up as teachers of history to
Mr.. Clifford. He may lsud his ancestors in
York; he may declare that Puritans did not
kill Indians, but that Spaniards did; he may
shut his eyes to the fact that where Puritans
set their feet the Indians disappeared, doubt.
less by the visitation of God, and not by the
sword and gun of his gentle ancestors; while
the Indians survive in every Spanish colony,
where, according to Peter Farley and Mr..
Clifford, PiZarro and Cortes murdered them in
thousands. With all this we have no quarrel.
MI Clifford may read history with his own
spectacles, but when he goes out of his way to
ABUSE our religion, to ridicule the saints, the
planning OF crosses and the chanting of masses
as childish superstitions," we tell Mr.. Cliff
tord tnat Catholics will remember it, and if he
has no better sense and taste he may find that
men OF sense will consider his assertions on
other occasions as not more reliable than his
views OF past history, and that Catholic voters
will turn with disgust from man who cannot
refrain from an insult to their faith In the ioy
OF festive gathering. VERITAs.

SAVED BY VIOLENCE.
Woman Fights Like Tiger TO Take
Her Own Life,


Angie Morrison went to Stsele's Hotel, New
York, August S0th, with young man named
Fred Stewart, where they passed for man and
wife. Sunday evening about o'clock the
woman attempted to take her life by swallow
ing enough laudanum to kill a half dozen
people. Instead of subduing her, it seemed
to turn her into tigress. Stewart rushed to
the nearest hospital and notified the authori-
ties, and they sent DR.. Powers-the hospital
house surgeon-a corps of assistants and an
ambulance to the hotel for her. When they
reached the hotel the hospital people had
sweet time. Miss Morrison "went' for them
with fury they could not withstand. She
smashed broomstck, several chairs and
water pitchers over their heads, and finally
the Prince street police had to be sent for.
They effected an entrance to the woman s
last succeeded, after a desperate struggle, in
overcoming and binding Miss Morrison and
carrying her to the hospital. There all the
usual remedies were applied fer laudanum
poisoning, and she was saved.
When she recovered from the effects of her
escapade, Miss Morrison admitted that her
true name was Watson. She is the same Miss
Watson whose parents formerly lived in Port.
land and then moved to Springvale. Later
they moved to Peabody, Mass, where she
went to school and graduated with honors.
She was married five years ago, but her hus-
band deserted her. She denied any relation

The Game Law Criticised

That the present game law, in the light of
the construction which the authorities have
seen tit to give it, has proven most unfortu-
nate and disastrous to the best interasts of
the State, evidence which comes to us from all
quarters tends to show. Prior to the present
Law, the better class of sportsmen and guides,
aided by public writers upon the subject, had
succeeded in working up very general public
game protection, and which was growing
stronger every day. But the natural sense of
injustice and oppression which attaches to the
enforcement3 OF the present law has not
only checked all this, but the spirit OF resent
ment whlcn IL mas aroused will give the game
protective policy set back from which il
will take long time to recover. This we
predicted at the outset, would be the ineyita.
