was accidentally left unlocked, and package of
letters and checks was taken therefrom Ycster-
day, boy named Bassett, who lives on Newbury
street, went TO the Messrs. Milliken and returned
the letters, but without the checks. He said that
he had found the package on the steps of the pos,
Office at about o'clock Tuesday evening, and
took them home with him that night. He said
that there were no checks among the papers when
he found them. Bassett was subsequently arrest
ed and taken to the station, where he finally ad-
mitted that the checks were In the package and
that he had hidden them under flight of steps to
a house on Federal street. In company with Off
Ger Morse, the boy went to the house in question,
and thorough search was made by the officer for
the missing checks, but without success. 1t was
thought that boys playing in the vicinity might
have found the package, but upon being ques-
toned all denied any knowledge Of the checks.

band could not be made because in that case she
would be obliged to sleep alone in the house, a
thing she could not do. The intercession of a cit
zen of Pownal, who happened along, being added

"Cift Enterprises"

seems to be all the rage in the Soap Business,
owing to the idea of some manufacturers .of get
ting something out of nothing if possible. Groc-
ers get boxes for of some kinds, and are Offer
ed all sorts of "Nck- Nacks" with others, as an in
ducement to recommend such soaps to their trade.
1t is a well-known fact, however, that genuine
article in this day of competition pays no fancy
profits. WELCOME SOAP represents this class
of goods, and demonstrates the value of quality
in manufacture, which is the only guarantee of
pure and legitimate washing quality.

Anglo-American Insurance Company, and com
menting thereon, said:
"One ship broker on Commercial street. 1t is re-

says he is the person referred to. He had an in
surance with the Anglo-Amercan, on the schoon-
er Anna Frye. The vessel was lost Aug. 9th,

days VIII not elapse before Nov. 18th. So il viii
be seen no refusal of payment has been, or could

lax the nervous strain, and induce sleep than
hours of walking in the open air, or than any ex-
ercise whatever. 1 use the Machine now, every
