pected me on the day she herself APP
pointed; and on my non-arriyal on the
only train that stops she sent for the
village lawyer, made her viii. and left
all her property to the orphan asylum
in Scenersvile, with few bitter words
to the effect that the neglect of her only
living nephew had induced her. on the
spur of the moment, to alter her original
intention Of leaving it to him. She died
the next morning.

'Ten thousand dollars"
There was moment or two of 81
lenee, then Mr.. Chickerly added, con-
posedly:
''You see. Fanny, how much that
missing button has cost me. "
Mrs. Chickerly sat like one con-
demned by the utterance of her own
conscience. Not alone the one missing
button, but the scores-nay, hundreds
of tritling omissions. forgetfulness and
postponements which made her life one
endless endeavor to "catch up with
the transpiring present, seemed to pre-
sent themselves before her minds eye.
What would this end IMP Was not the
present lesson sufficiently momentous to
teach her TO train herself in different
school.
She rose and came to her husbands
side, laying one tremulous hand on his
shoulder.
"There shall be no more missing but
ton, my love-" she said earnestly.
He comprehended all that she left
unspoken, and silently pressed the little
hand in his own, and not word more
was sad upon the subject.

erly set herself resolutely to work to up
root the rank weeds growing in the
garden OF her life And she succeeded,
as we all may do when we resolve to do
wise thing.

THE oLYMPIAN QUINTETTE.
Notwithstanding the rain storm of yester-

only speaker of the evening. Before and af-
ter his talk the Olympian Quintette gave
several selections. They lare respectable
and intelligent looking set of gentlemen. All
were in full dress. They sang not only
sweetly, but exhibit good deal of power in
their rendition of plantation refrains They
were encored again and again and generous
ly responded at each call. Mr.. Doutney has
certainly done good thing in bringing these
singers to Portland. They offer new pro-
gramme tonight before and after Mr.. Dout-
ney'S talk. Mrs. Doutney reappears tonight.
Judging from the feeling of last night it will
probably be difficult matter to get a seat
during the remaining nights of this gospel
temperance work unless one goes early.
DEATH OF GEORGE vANDENHoFF.
Mr. George Vandenhoff, an actor and read
or of eminence, familiar to the old attend
ants upon the Mercantile Library courses of
entertainments, has just died in England.
George Vandenhoff was the son of John
Vandenhoff, also prominent actor, espec-
pecially noted for his representation of Ham
let. The younger. Vandenhoff essayed the
same role at the fremont Theatre, Boston,
in 1912. In 1916, when the Howard Athene-
UNI was opened, George Vandenhoff gave
the "Opening Address," and afterward he
appeared frequently at that Theatre. On
one occasion he introduced recitation Of
Collins lode to the Passions" with orches
trail accompaniment. an arrangement which
proved very effective. He also played at the
National Theatre, and ON the evening before
that house of amusement was burned to the
ground Mr. Vandenhoff played with Mrs. G.
n. Sinclair in ''School of Scandal" A son
of Mr.. Vandenhoff also entered upon dra-
matte career.

The Latest Maine Murder.
Lewiston journal.

The death of Timothy Shortsleeves, the
Portland bartender who was shot by his
employer on the 18th of August, completes.
case of murder. The assassin has been in
hiding since the crime was committed, and
it certainly is not creditable to the Portland
police force that he has not been arrested
ere this. There have been no signs OF much
of an effort to capture him. Perhaps the
police rely on the act that O'Neil is under
$3,100 bonds on liquor cases and expect his
bondsmen to deliver him up.
The question is sometimes asked "why
hasn't O'Neil, the murderer of Shortsleeves,
been arrested" We can say on authority,
that from the very first notifications were
made of the affair to the police officials in all
cities and towns, descriptions of O'Neil for
warded and thorough search made by the
Portland police, and on every train, inn
mediately after the murder, a policeman
went out to all parts of the State to try and
find him

the case going through the regular course in was
put into the hands of trustees, who were William
Crosby and William McGivery of Belfast Both
trustees died before the case was finally settled
and two out of three of a committee of creditors,
that were appointed are now dead. The third
committee man, Daniel s. Goodell, now petitions
the court to have new committee appointed for
the purpose of closing up the estate. In 1882
the Bucksport bank, one of the creditors, petit
toned for meeting of the creditors for the pur-
pose of appointing an assignee. That meeting
was held and Joseph Williamson of Belfast was
appointed assignee. Goodell takes the ground
that Williamson was not legally appointed as
signee.

Thief at Large.

The PRESS, yesterday, referred to man
who had run off in his boat, after being as
sisted by kind people, and taken a suit OF
clothes, money and watch from parties at
Cape Elizabeth. The man gave the name OF
Herbert Montgomery. 1t seems he has
cheated Mr.. Morrison, the jeweller, out of
watch, and Mr.. Gibson, of Cape Cottage,
out of SIG. 1t seems that a young man
named Shaw was the victim at Cape Eliza
beth, and, with the assistance OF Officer
Stevens, chased him in boat. The man got
to land and escaped but he left his yacht
from which Mr.. Gibson had prudently
taken the mast and said in the hands OF
Shaw and Stevens.
