found The problem has been given to

Since the telegraph has been brought
to about as near the point of perfec-
ton as it is likely to attain, and tele-
graphic communication has been es-
tablished to the remotest parts of the
world. it has become very difficult for
rogues to escape its searching ways.
Once in while a fugitive from justice
manages to elude his pursuers, but, the
Electric Review thinks, if the party
sought is Of sufficient Importance to be
in special request his whereabouts are
likely to be discovered. One Of the
post notable instances of failure in
shat respect on record is that of Marsh,
late president of the Keystone bank,
Philadelphia, who has thus far managed
to elude arrest, but it is generally con-
jectured that-if certain parties desired
his presence his present home could
be readily determined. Among the
many instances of the detective powers
of the telegraph is the discovery of the
whereabouts and the arrest of Rudolph
Jaeger, the Rothschild runaway cashier,
who fled, leaving behind him default
ing record amounting to 1, 700, 900 marks
He was arrested in Ramleh, Egypt, and
will be brought back to Franl1fort-on-
the Main and made to answer for his
crime. But for the telegraph his arrest
would have been next to impossible.

sacks colored blue and trimmed with birch
bark collar and cuffs. Braided tissue
paper of lively hues, and tassels of the
same, gave unique finish to the costume

Noteworthy characteristics of the address
given last Sunday by Rev. c. j. Rider of

its value, earnestness of spirit and elo-
quence in speaking. 1t seemed a special
good fortune that small church should
secure an address from the New England
secretary of a society so broad in extent
and principles as the American Home mis-
siOnary society. The audience was indebt-
ed for this rare opportunity to the alert
ness of the pastor, who seized upon knowl-
edge afforded at meeting of the county

cept invitations from the small churches if
he had a spare date.

Friday evening, at the benefit given in aid

of Vermont and our own town. When it
comes to considering part of a country,
even across the seas, 800 times as large as
Vermont, with an enormous number of
inhabitants in starving condition, it be-
comes more evident that all the world has
moved rather slowly in relieving this suffer
ing though many have done nobly. Mr..
Higgins added to the pleasure of the even
ing by his fine cornet solos, with accompa-
niment by Miss Susie Underwood.
