JAMES A. L. WHITTIER, the Boston lawyer
who robbed one of his wealthiest clients, now
makes confession aud will make restitution
so far as possible, though he cannot hope to
do SO in degree approaching what should be
done 1t develops that he lived in luxury
and was generous entertainer His rooms
in the hotel where he boarded were furnished
at cost of some So, 900, and it is quite likely
he s1ived up to them" He also had a coun-
try place equipped with all that goes to make
up an elegant establishment, all of which
must have costs thousands of dollars to main
tain in the style becoming gentleman of his
pretensions. TO keep up appearances he must
have squandered thousands of his clients
money, which, indeed, is proved by
the fact that some 1925, 900 that she had
intrusted with him cannot be found, and
suit has been brought for the recovery of as
much as possible, which will be little enough,
as it is estimated that his entire possessions
will not bring more than $15, 900 at the best
prices that could be hoped for. This very ele-
gait and fastidious thief should be dealt with
as considerably as possible, for he has been
gentleman" and has lived like one as long as
he was not found out Such man is no CON-
mon thief. He should not be treated as one;
but in truth, should be held to even stricter
accountability than should the fellow who
steals pair of shoes or a loaf of bread. The
one is thief because he is hungry or is ILL
clad The other INDUCED in the art Of steal
ing to make show that ministered only to his
pride, for had he been content with enough,
there would have been no occasion for him to
steal at all. But he is represented as very
penitent, and it is probable that he viii be let
off as easy as possible.

IN is the cheapest kind of nonsense to talk
about Democratic mugwumps. There is no
such thing. If the men trying 20 bulldoze
the faithful into the support of Mr.. Bynum
think they can bring contempt upon the Dem
Ocrats'who are backing Mr. Bailey, they are
very much mistaken Democrats do not
nominate mugwurnps for the vice presidency.

and crystallized before the audience upon
screen, in a most artistically executed pic
ture, which is produced by the Royal photo

will be on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, Sept. 20, q and % in Chestnut

Cumberland Fair.

The Cumberland Farmers Club wifi hold
their annual fair on their grounds at West
Cumberland Sept. Goth and seth. 1t bids
fair to be one of the largest and most interest
ing exhibitions that the society has eyer
held. Already number of fast horses have
been entered for the races, and as the track
has received heavy coat of loan the past
summer, and been rolled very hard, some
fast time may be expected this year on the
track. Good judges say that this is one of
the best tracks in the State. At the
present outlook the exhibits will be very
much larger than on any previous year.
