Nr. Thurston's Paper.


The first printing office in Maine was es-
tablshed at Portland, probably in 1884 and
asa lob office The facts relating to these
early wears are very obscure, but we have the
record that one Thomas B. Wait, coming to
Portland in that year, found Benz Titeomb
already established in his office. 4 partner
ship was formed BY them, and the first Maine
newspaper, the Falmouth Gazette and Week
" Advertiser. appeared on the first day OF
1885 No detailed description of the press
used remains. but il was probably, of the pat
tern invented by W. J. Baeuw of Amster-
dam, in 1920, made entirely of wood except
the iron screw. A separate impression was
required for each page, thus compelling the
pressmau to exert about all his strength -four
times for every paper. The primitive linking
apparatus consisted of two balls about ten
inches in diameter covered with sheepskin
and stuffed with wool. The ink being taken
I'D upon these from a board, and spread over
their surfaces BY dexterouslv tossing and
whirliny them in the ali, the type was covered
by dauoing on the ink, going over the work
As often as might be necessary TO thoroughly
ink form. With very hard work. about 500
copies would be a days task.
No type foundry was in existence in this
country at this date, and the type used tor the
Gazette was clumsy, very old, battered and
dirty, il was not till 1919 that the printer
was able to procure his type at home.
As result of the printing of news came
the need of some means of difusing it, and
the first mail coach was put on the road from
Portland to Portsmouth in 1857.
In 1870 the second press was brought into
Portland. to print the Gazette of Maine. Mr..
Titcomb having withdrawn from partnership
with Wait who had changed the name of the
paper to the Eastern Herald. post-oftice
was established in Augusta (then the northern
part of Hallowell) in 1874.

and gamboled about the roomy cage

Police CoUr. Pirates.

Hanging about the doors of police
courts may always be found set OF
fellows wno make q living by prcying
upon the unfcrtunatcs who are ar
raigned and their relatives. Women
knowing nothing of the ways of courts
are easily persuaded tha. some devious
method can be used to release their
friends. Often when the prisoner might
be released OF payment OF a triHing
fine, or even by a friendly word spoken
by almost any respectable person, the
simple-nlinded wife or sister is cheated
out of kard-earned dollars by the shark
who gets twice the amount Of the line
for pretended services in getting man
released. 1t IS a common thing for
these fellows to take money in cases
where there is not the remotcst chance
o. their rendering any service. Most
people that 60 tc police courts do not
know that the only odenses tried there
are those OF intoXicat;on and disorder
derlv conduct For the more serious
olfanses the power of the magistrate is
confined TO ascertain whether there is
probable cause of guilt, and then either
dischsrging the accused or holding him
fer triai il a higher court When a
prisoner is orce held for trial it is be-
yo1d the power of the magistrate to
ies aim out Yet il is 4 common thing
ior ths police-court pirate to take
mcaey or the pretense of attempting
to get man out af:er he has been
fully committed for trial.
TIC pirates will take any thing they
can Get Sometimes tii"y are satisfied
with few shiiiings under pretense of
calling friends.
The usual practice in the police
courts Is to FIRST take the prisoner be-
fore .hs clerk, who prepares the papers

when the prisoner is arraigned the dis
position OF the case is speedy. Stran-
g7Ers often wonder at the celebrity with
