WHY His Hands Are Tied.

A very much respected merchant of this
city, gentleman of more than mature years
and a deacon in one of our principal church
es, goes to bed now with hands tied with
silk handkerchief. He is very kind-heart-
ed man and wouldn't injure fly, but the
other night his wife, while sleeping peace
fully at his side, received blow of such
force it awakened her, when it was quickly
followed by another over the eye. The poor
woman burst out crying as was natural, both
at the pain and the unusual treatment, and
this sound awakened her spouse, the good
deacon, who had been suffering from a Sc
we're attack of nightmare, during which he
thought he was pursued by a lot of ruffians
and was finally overtaken by them, and in
trying to get away from his captors, and to
defend himself he struck at them Justify. OF
course he felt terribly at what had occurred,
and now when he goes to bed at night his
good wife ties his hands with a silk handker-
chief

PluCked.

The captain of fishing schooner says he
came to Portland yesterday and ran across
an old shipmate here. He went around with
the shipmate, visiting bar saloons, and places
of ill-repute, and when he finally reached his
vessel was minus $50 heis confident he placed
in an inner pocket of his coat He thinks
this shipmate took the money, because he
said he was ''broke" when the captain first
met him, and yesterday had new suit OF

THE SAME OLD GAME.
How John r. Smith Lost His Money.
Detective True Arrests TWO Men on
Suspicion.

Thursday afternoon John r. Smith, a
guileless individual from the Provinces,
bought ticket at the Boston & Maine depot
for his home in Riverside, Albert county,
New Brunswick As he turned from the
ticket office a fine appearing man asked him
where he belonged. The gentleman then
said he belonged in the same town as Smith
and was going home. The pair went to
walk while waiting for the train, but Smith
soon returned to the station to look after
some freight his new friend said he had
there Smith had just lent the man $50 to
pay the charges on the goods, the bill having
been presented by young man who had met
them on the street The polite gentleman
had gone with the messenger to get receipt
for the bill and given Smith check as secur-
ity for his $780, Smith didn't find the freight,
and when his acquaintance did not return
told the story to Officer Hanson, who told the
victim how the game had been played upon
him. The man from the Provinces went
home with ten dollars instead of forty, but
lots of experience.
State Detective True, returning from Old
Orchard, met Officer Hanson shortly after,
and an account of the game. He went at
once to the Boston boat, where he saw two
men who answered the description. They
soon left the boat, however, eyaded the Off
Ger, and kept out of sight until yesterday.
Yesterday the detective, aided by the police,
was again on the trail, but did not get the
pair together until late in the afternoon
Then, as Mr.. True and Officer Hicks were
riding in Spring street horse car, on the
way to the Boston boat they saw the two
men together, and, after leaving the car and
following them, took the two into custody.
The arrested men were carried to the sta
tion where Marshal Hawkes. promptly pro-
duced the photograph of the elder from a
collection lof portraits he has secured of
noted crooks. On the back of the picture
was description of the man showing him to
be John Stevens So years old in 1877, when
the picture was taken; five feet, six inches in
height married and confidence man. He
is described as travelling on the Sound and
Bangor boats and swindling by means of
bogus checks and bag of imitation gold.
The photograph was taken at Station 8 in
Boston and the man is now wanted in that
city for swindling. When Stevens was
shown the picture he remarked, 81 knew
that picture would fix me sooner or later"
The two men will be brought up in the
municipal court this morning, and will be
photographed. When brought into the sta
ton last evening they gave the names of
James French and Ell. Davis. The elder
answers the description Of the photograph be
ing somewhat older of course, and the
younger is of good appearance The older
one is supposed to be the man who has play
ed the principal role in swindling games here
so often. His arrest is highly creditable to
Detective True and Marshal Hawkes. whose
forethought in procuring the photographs
enabled the officers to identify their man.

Struck 1t Fat.

1t will be remembered the fishing steamer
Novelty, Captain Joyce, of this port, went
into Nova Scotian port to coal few days
ago. She was not allowed to purchase it and
the captain telegraphed to Portland to have
coal sent to Pigwash, Nova Scotia, in a
schooner from here. The Halifax Herald
complained because the Novelty was seining
mackerel, as they alleged, in Horsehead Bay
without an armed cruiser in sight. Yester-
day the Novelty telegraphed to her owner
here from the Gut Of Canso, that she was
on her way home and had secured full fare
of one thousand barrels of mackerel

The Kellogg Case,

Mr.. Fl. d. Kellogg, a cousin of the unfor-
tunate young man who attempted suicide
here and has since been under the care of
the authorities, arrived in this city at IL
o'clock last night. Mr.. Kellogg states that
his cousins trouble is due entirely to over
work. When Kellogg left on his vacation he
was entirely sane. The day Kellogg disap-
peared from Bennington, vt, he had come
home saying that he felt sick. and was taken
to his room. Later friend came to the
house to take him to drive, and when Mr..

ker, procured permit to see his cousin. and

A New Catholic church.

For some time the need of new Catholic
church in the western part of the city has
been felt. St. Dominic's church is too small
to meet the requirements. 1t is now pro-
posed to pull down St.Dominic's church and
erect new and much larger building in its
stead Possibly, however, it may be decided
to enlarge the present edifce.
Rev. Father Doherty of st. Dominic's
church, is to be transferred to Bangor, and
Rev. Father Murphy, vicar general of the di-
ocese of Maine, now stationed at Bangor, is
to come to st. Dominic's oh urch.

The Drug Clerk.

The most satirical shot at illegible
prescriptions that we have yet seen is
the following from the Medical Age:
Agentleman received q note from his
lawyer which he was unable to deci-
pher. On his way to his Office he met a
friend at the door of adrug store. The
friend, after vainly attempting to read
the note suggested that they step in
side and hand it to the druggist with
out comment. The druggist, after
studying it in silencefor few minutes,
stepped behind his prescription case
and in short time returned with a
bottle of medicine, duly labeled and
bearing directions. When the gentle
man saw his lawyer he was informed
that the note was notice for him to
call at his Office between 3 and 4 P. M.
of the following day. 1t is a pretty
difficult matter to "stick" the regula-
ton druggist.

Serious Domestic Complication.

A story told by the st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Wiener Allgeneine
zeitung, bears witness to the diplo-
matte genius of the Carat all events,
in difficult domestic problems. A
ew days ago the Czarina appeared in
p new maize-colored toilet, the fashion
Of which called forth the universal adj
miration of the court ladies. A few
minutes later the young F'eodorovna
Ghika was announced. AS she came
forward to kiss the hands of the EN-
press it was seen that her dress was
the exact counterpart of that of the
imperial lady. The Czarina redeemed
Indignantly; the young lady turned
pale with fear as she saw the awkward
mistake made by the Partisan house
from which she had received the new
costume. The Gar got rid of the
painful situation with a happy jest.
II and my lieutenants, said he, "also
wear exactly similar uniforms"

Feeding Calves skimmed-Mnk.

Two errors are common in the man
agement of calves. When first taken
from the COW and given skim-milk
they are apt to be fed too heavily, be-
cause most people have an idea that
skim. milk is much less nourishing
that that which retains the cream.
So far as fattening is concerned this is
true, but the elements of growth are
nearly all retained in skim milk. The
calls stomach is thus overloaded with
cold milk, and it is this which gives it
the scours. Warming the milk to blood
heat and adding an egg will stop al.
most any case of scours. The second
evil in calf-feeding is stopping the ra-
ton too soon. A small ration of sour
milk, say two or three quarts per day,
is a profitable feed for O. good calf I'm.
til it is eight or nine months old. After
three or four months it will prefer it's
milk sour. and it is best it should, to
prevent danger of learning to suck its
mother Or other COWS.

Nebraska Filling Up.
From the Waterloo News.1

From the Waterloo News
The emigration to Nebraska this
year exceeds any previous year, the
number OF entries in the Valentine
land Office being 700 to 800 per
month, and taking the other land of
fees in the state, which will perhaps
make as good q showing, it proves be-
yond a doubt that Nebraska is recog-
nized AS one of the best states in the
union for farming, and from the report
of the agricultural bureau at Washing
ton we are ahead of any state on
crops this year. The land that twen-
ty years ago was considered good for
nothing but grazing purposes is now
producing as fine crops as were ever
harvested, and instead of being bar
rem desert without a house or tree in
sight is now dotted over with beautiful
groves, fine houses and barns, and in
stead of seeing the wild Texas cattle
roaming at large you will see fine
blooded stock feeding on tame pas
ture. Truly Nebraska is improving.

.oUR FIRST GRAY HAIR"

AS the first big pattering drops that fall
With splash on the lattice pane
Make shiver and start as they warn us all
OF storm, or of coming rain,
SO it is with life, when we are growing DID,
And age steals unaware,
We shiver and start IL the truth were told,
At the sight of our first gray hair.
We mark not the light of our MONDAY hours,
Like the first streaks the dawn doth bring;
We hail not the birth of our summer flowers
AS we do the first snow drops of spring:
On the bleak winter wind we look not with grief,
Though it howl through the branches bare,
But we sigh when we witness the brown autumn
leaf,
And behold natures first gray hair.
Gray hairs may come when the beaming eye
Has none of its brightness lost,
When with buoyant heart we would fain deny.
Youths Rubicon has been crossed;
Yet the ivy-clad tree looks young and green
Though a sapless trunk may be there,
And naught of decay on cur CHEEKS may De seer
When we witness our first gray hair.
ONE early, come late, like knock at the gate
Is that first soft silvery thread;
And it joins with its silence the years that avail
With the years forever fed;
1t silently tells as we're lOurney1ng on
1t silently questions Where2
o! a faithful milestone, we're the truth bu
known,
Is seen in our first gray hair.
