Spoiled His Dinner,

An interesting story about the delegates
visit is told. 1t seems that one of the at
taches named Smith, has visited Portland
before, and while here contracted some debts
which he neglected to pay. A creditor heard
he was coming, and while festivities at the
Falmouth Hotel were at their height, Dep
uty Sheriff Herbert R. Sargent, armed with a
writ, went over to the banquet hall to arrest
Smith. The matter was adjusted by Special
Agent of the State Department Curtis, who
gave his word to send the money to the cred
itors Smith was allowed to go, and the af-
fair was hushed up.
An exchange has the following reference
to an incident of the visit to Maine, the town
referred to being one in the Southern part of
the Statelwhere the train stopped few min
utes: ut is cruel, perhaps, to dissipate the
happiness of those Maine girls who thought
they enjoyed the honor of an introduction to
the distinguished Minister of Brazil, the
Secretary of Bolivia and so on, when the ALL
American Congress passed through their
town, but it was all the work of practical
joker of the party, who loaded up the news
paper correspondents with these titles and
presented them to the young ladies'. The
scribes were not in the plot, but were saved
from embarrassment by the explanation this
joker gave the girls. to the effect that the
eminent visitors could not speak word of
English"
