Foreign Bonds.

All persons DESTROYS of making invest
ments will do well to send and get Prospec-
tus of the International Banking Company.
This company has been established in the
United States for fourteen years, sufficient
guarantee in itself of the fairness of its
methods used and its reliability.
European Government bonds are more de-
sirabe than other bonds, for the reason that
in addition to their facial value and the bearing
of interest, they stand chance for premium
drawings.
One remarkably pleasant feature in con-
nection with these bonds, is, they are pur-
chasahle on the instalment plan.
The purchaser is, Immediately after the
payment of the first instalment to the pay
ment of the last, entitled to every premium
Upon the payment of the first instaments
the purchaser receives a properly drawn up
document (certifcate) in which the series
and number of the Original Bond he bought
are correctly given. From this moment, and
during the punctual payment of the install
meuts, he is entitled to all the premiums that
may be drawn on the bonds, as well as the
interest it may bear
Each holder of the instalment certificate
will receive regularly all the official lists of
redemption, showing the numbers and pre-
miums redeemed. If the holder of a certif-
cate receives notice that the number of his
bond has drawn premium, the buyer may
either pay the amount of instruments due at
once, receive the original bond and collect
the premium himself or the New England
branch office will pay the premium and de-
duct the balance he owes. On the payment
of the last instalment the owner gets the
original bond. and has nothing further to
pay.
The owner of such an original bond is en-.
titled to all redemptions, as well as to the
interest that the bond bears.

The excursion on the Maine Central to-
morrow to vassalboro to the open-air meet
ings held there by the Uniyersalists ought to
call out large number from this city who
cannot enjoy the larger and more expensive

full grove at small cost both for adults and
children, and in addition to the preaching,
there will be the attraction of the singing by
Prof. and Mrs. Mitchell of Boston. The
Universalists of the city and vicinity will
take advantage of the opportunity to hear

ENDED HER LIFE.

Lena Kraft in a Fit Of Dependency
 Threw Herself from Starin Dock
 YesterdaY-BetraTeda and Deserted by
 Her Lover She Takes Her own Life.
 Christian Kraft, a young German woman who has been in this country about 8 dozen years, committed suicide yesterday morning. About one year ago Lena, as she was called, was engaged to be married to Julius Olschafake and the day was set for the wedding After getting possession of about $100- which she had saved, he left and has not been heard of since. Soon after Lena went to the alms- house where she gave birth to a child which died in short time. Since that time her health has been very poor, and she being able to work but little has often threat ened to end her life. Shortly before o'clock yesterday morning she left the house of the Board of Charities, where she had passed the night before, and went to Starin dock and threw herself into the water. About 6:20 Officer Higgins discovered the body face downward in the water. He sent for the to Lewis & Maycock's undertaking rooms. Coroner Mix held an in quest at 9 o'clock. There was nothing on the body by which it could be identified except ring with the initials 70. K." Dur- ing the investigation Mrs. Matilda Goebell or 14 West water street came in and identl- fed the body as that of Christina Kraft. She said she had stopped with her until she had obtained position in the candy store of Jen- nie Zastrow, 277 West Water street Thurs day night she left the store and went to the dock, fully intending to end her life. but just as she was to throw herself into the wa- ter gentleman grasped her and prevented her so doing. He found out where she be- longed and sent her home. She was locked m in her room and lakar falxan to tha hoard of charities, but early in the morning left and at once proceeded to carry out her prom ise to end her life. She was thirty-two years of age and a rather good looking young wo- man, but her troubles had made her misera- ble and Respondent.

DISSATISFACTION.
R ush Tickets Ahead of Reserved
 Tickets


 There seems to be great amount of dis satisfaction about town in regard to the way the tickets for the graduating exercises of the High school were disposed of. It ap- pears that Mir. Dutton took charge of the tickets for the occasion and disposed of them as he pleased. A large number of rush tickets were issued to friends and these gathered at the theater before the holders of reserved seat tickets and secured the seats reserved seat tickets had been issued for and refused to give them up when the coupons for the seats were presented. There was @ grand scramble and the rush ticket holders should have been kept back until the reserv- ed seat holders had been attended to. In- vestigation relieves the theater officials from all blame, as they were instructed not to hold the seats after eight o'clock. Among the gentlemen who were unable to get the seats which their tickets called for was Cap tain O'Brien of the board of educ Ation. Af- ter two or three unsuccessful attempts to get his seat he left the theater. Others not wishing to make disturbance during the exercises took other seats. Many of those who were not interested in the exercises, teachers in the school and others who ought to have had good seats, were obliged to take seats in the upper gallery
