Will be remembered that this lady was the
post-mstress at Bluehlll Falls and was ar
rested short time since accused of tam

went to Bath last week to defend Miss
Dodge before the L. $. District court and
returned Saturday with his client, after
ten minutes only.
Mr. George Clough left for Boston,

Mrs. Annie Dodge and her daughter
Grace, lelf for Salem, Thursday.
Mrs. Augustus Stevens, her daughter

their visit to Franklin, Monday.
A former townsmen arrived here Sun

timent is in favor of Furnishing the son
and bringing Others of his associates to
justice.
Mr.. Austin NJ Foster Of Ellsworth will

Miss kimball, the temperance advocate,

Capt. Will Cover was in town Monday.
Rev. Mr. Mason returned home the last
of the week.
Bluehill is an excellent place for people
to spend the summer. There is good op-
portunity for fishing, sailing and riding;
the town abounds in scenery which at
tracts the Attention and pleases the heart.
1t is generally known about town who
are the guilty parties that have been break
ing into stores and robbing clothes-lines,
safes and other doing petty thieving depre-
dations. If they go unpunished, the public
eye IS upon them and the finger of scorn
points them out while they walk the streets
with impunity. Crime should be punished
without respect to heritage. 1t is to be
hoped that the late theving expeditions
| that have been found out, will be timely
warning to the one who participated in
them. The outcome of idleness and bad
company is undoubtedly the result of this
pain and sorrow to parents. They are not
yet beyond the reach of the law, and those
left among US will be watched.

He Saved the Directory.
Seattle WASH Press.

There is q story told on Hon. H. G.
Struve which has not as yet been made
public property. 1t is said that, during
the raging of the great fire in which Mr.
Struve with all the rest of Seattle was a
heavy loser, he rushed up into his Office to
save some of his most valuable books. 1t
Is well known that he had accumulated
vast amount of material which he purposed
working up into history of Washington.
This material and some of his books were
very precious to him. So as the fire came
sweeping down toward his Office he rushed
up stairs and began to select the books
most valuable. "Ah, this one will save.
No, l guess this one is more valuable"
Thus he hesitated, and among his many
books, all of which were dear to him, he
was unable to decide which ones to save.
Just then the cries of firemen were raised,
and the Judge was urged to come down
and save his live. Being thoroughly
alarmed and still undecided, he turned and
grabbed the first book in reach and rushed
out of the building. Reaching the pave
ment he found he had saved-the city di-
rectory.

Senator Hale's Speech on Reciprocity, in the
U. S, Senate Sept. 2, 1890,

The desirabiliv of securing larger por-
tion of the trade of the countries OF South
aud Central America and the islands OF the
Spanish main has long been recognized
and has been the subject of careful thought
and suggestion from eminent pubic men
from both great parties during the last
twenty wears.
Whoever has seen. during these years,
nearly all of the great trade of these coun-
tries pass into the hands Of European ma
tlons must have witnessed these conditions
with impatlence. The people of nearly all
these countries Of the American continent
lying southW ard Of u have common sen
tlment with Us a TO their methods OF gov
crnment. They are now republican in
form. Their constitutions, from the day
OF the great Columbian liherator 10 tho
present time have been largely framed in
imitation of ours. The last year has
proved their interest IN our institutions
and their desire for an increase Of business
in the assembling in Washington OF the
great Pan American Congress with lts
representation Of eminent men from every
one OF these countries.
The deliberations Of this Congress were
from time to time interrupted by the Wis
its which the delegates both of our own
and the southern countries made 10 differ
ent portions Of the nited States. thereby
Increasing the acquaintance OF the south
ern delegates with our whole country and
duly impressing them with the Importance
and extent Of oar resources. These delb-
erations, oftentimcs marked by spirit OF
earnestness, sometimes nearing the ground
OF actual controversy, were always finally
brought under the spirit Of common inter
est and common concession and resulted
in an agreement upon propositions Of
great Importance TO the future of America.
The adaptation OF customs laws aud eNac-
tiOns TO the needs and uses Of all con
cerned; the suggestion Of Il common coin
age, the scheme for common nomcnCla-
ture in articles Of trade the survey look
iug To a great intercontinental raiIWay
system of communication-al these and
other subject. debated and considered by
the Congress showed the keen interest felt
by these sister Republics. and are all d.
rected toward one sure. inevitable end
the increase OF the interchange OF the pro
duets Of the different countries Of North
and South and Central America, He who
does not see that this was not only the in
tent and scope of the plan which brought
these nations so happily together, but also
OF the delegates when the Congress sep
arated. Is blind TO the light
The considerations which have moved
in the minds Of distinguished public men
OF our own in the past have been also
moving in the minds Of the leaders in
these other States, and hence the result
indicated. These considerations, touch
ing the extension OF our trade with The
countries lying to the south. embrace not
only the Republics, but the Islands OF the
great sea lying between North and South
America.

Mr. President, this (referring to table of
imports and exports) is very melancholy
showing, and the conviction Of the Ameri
can people that the time has come when
something should be done to remedy these
conditions is growing into a movement
that will not be efectually resisted.
Some of the reasons why this sentiment
is so strong and is every day growing
stronger may be given In brief.
WHAT FREE SUGAR CAN BIZ MADE TO BRING
ABOUT.
No man can tell what the benefit will be
to the American consumer In the price Of
sugar which is used upon his table by the
unreserved repeal of the sugar duties; but,
If the entire duties. amounting to about
$50, ,OOO, 900 yearly, were saved in the price
of the article to the consumer, the average
per capita to the population Of the coun-
try would be about so cents, or to an en-
tire family of five. a saving In the year Of

of the benefit that could possibly be deriv.
