tossed a rope to a man who was swimming
In the water below. In a moment he was
drawn up on deck. and at once no began an

A LITTLE GAME OF TAG.
Officer Merrill and the Drunk Who
Didn't Care for the Police.

He was very drunk and he owned Fed
eral street at 11.30 last night. He is
tall, rather powerful fellow and he an
nounced loudly as Officer Merrill APP
preached that he didn't care a something
uncomfortable for the police. Then he
started to run with the officer in pursuit.
The officer gained and the drunk fell
down. The officer, to prevent being
tripped up by the PROSTATE man, jumped
over him. Then the drunk picked him
self up and ran the other way before the
policeman could stop and turn round.
This performance was three times re-
peated, making as lively little game of
tag as is often seen. Finally, however,
Officer Merrill reached his man and this
time helped him to fall. There was a
lively little scrimmage on the sidewalk
before the bracelets were adjusted. AS
the cell door swung to on the drunk
some minutes later, heremarked to the
officer: YOU'RE not dead and Pm not
dead, we're both living which was a
very pleasant ending to that little game
of tag.

fore the ward elections on next Monday.
The Board of Registration are to be in

Ward One Warden, Walter H. Browns clerk,
Wallace G. Knapp.

The City Treasurer and the Loan.

PORTLAND, Maine, August 5, 1892.
To the Editor of the Press:
In this mornings issue of the PRESS
under the heading of "City Loans" l
notice statement which needs explana-
ton. beg leaveto quote the paragraph
referred to:
1t is reported that up to this year it has all
ways been customary for the city to make its
deposits In one of the city banks and when the
city needed money.the bank advanced it. but
now the city treasurer has to hunt round for
bargains.
In the matter of taking this loan act
ed as agent for bankers in Boston.
If it is good financing for the city to
pay one of the local banks higher rate
of interest for money than it can secure
the same for in the open market, then,
of course, it is not the duty of the city
treasurer ito hunt round for bargains"
But if the finances of the city of Portland
in the future are to be conducted upon a
basis similar to the methods followed, [
understand, in other cities like Worces-
ter, New London, Springfield, Manches-
ter, etc., /. e., when they have money to
buy, purchase it in the open market at
the lowest price possible, and when they
have money to sell, sell it at the highest
price possible, namely, sell their bonds
in the open market at the lowest rate of
interest obtainable, and keep their, de-
posts in the bank which will pay the
highest rate of interest for the portion of
money that remains unused from day to
day, then the action of the finance com
saittee of the city yesterday was in ac-
eordance with the best financial theories,
and in the best interest of the x-payers
of the city.
Yours truly,
JOHN E. DEWITT.

room and unable to find the door.
When the neighbors heard his cries and
came to help him he was lying on the
ground almost burnt to a crisp. The

in the half-opened door to the next
room still gleeful over the horrid spec

A Mexican Solution.

The rich of our cities might find q
solution of the servant girl problem by
consulting the manners of the Mexi-
cans. The wealthy Mexican never de-
MES his poor relations; he uses them;
and SO it is not uncommon to find the
mother of the host engaged as cook, the
sister as housegirl, the father or brother
as butler; nor is there any attempt to
conceal the family ties. Our American
pride would probably forbid such an ar
rangement; but it is a question whether
CUR pride, real or false, is not more
marked than any genuine spirit of de-
