The Bangor Commercial says that the
latest report from Mt. Chase, is sensa-
tiOnal one 1t is said that DR.. Merrill OF
Patten, forwarded some of the ''soda, J"
the use of which poisoned % persons to
Prof. f. G. Robinson of Bowdoin Col
lege, who found it to be clear arsenic. 1t
is not known yet what will be done to
further investigate the case but it seems
to demand to be sifted to the very bot
tom. Appearances indicate that there
might be interesting facts beneath the
surface. If the old hunter Jarrett
bought this arsenic for use in curing
skins or in poisoning game it ought to be
very easy to establish the fact. The
mistake made in calling the compound
soda seems to have been most shocking.
F. I'll. Clergue, ESQ.,, has been passing
the greater part of the time in Mobile for
the past month perfecting the workings
of his new British American Trust Com
pany, which is already doing a very
heavy business. A branch of the COM
pany has been established at Pensacola,
Fla, to do general banking business
and operate a savings department. 1t is
intended also to put in branches at a
number of other. southern cities where
the field is promising.
Hon. D. D. Stewart, of ST. Adams, has
made final settlement of all matters of

famous case of the Dexter Savings Bank
against the late Barron estate, and which
now comes to an end.

A thin baby is always deli

a plump one.
If you can get your baby
plump, he. is almost sure to
be well. If you can get him

The way to do both-there

WEDNESDAY, February "a, 1892.
{ T<HE one thing in
i dispensable to
comfort in mans
attire is a properly fitting
Shirt.
The agony wrought in
the mind of a man who is
trying to break in a badly
made, ill-htting Shirt may
not be generally known
by his fellow men, but it
is those petty annoyances
which break down the
strongest patience and
give rise to the worst kind
of expressions.
And a little discrimina-
ton in the selection of
the wardrobe makes troub-
lie of this sort all unneces-
sary.
A Shirt that's built as
it should be costs no
more than any other, and
the satisfaction that comes
to the wearer of it is in
comparable.
Our line begins at AGO.,
and that price buys a
better Shirt than SOC. will
buy anywhere else. We
could say as much about
this shirt as of any, and
all we could add in praise
of the higher priced ones
is that the materials are a
bit finer and a bit more
pains taken with the max
ing-tAeres no difference
IN the SHAPE nor m the
weavsmg.

ALLEGED swlNDLINa CONCERN.
The Durham Manufacturing Company
49,. Before the Commissioner.

| w. III. Field of Durham was brought
| before United States Commissioner Brad
| ley yesterday afternoon on a charge of
using the United States mails for fraudu-
lent purposes. Mr.. Field waived exam
nation, pleading not guilty, and was
bound over in $500 to the April term of
the United States Circuit Court.
1t seems that short time ago Postal
Inspector Hall noticed an advertisement
in the Boston Herald proposing to give
from SIS to $1S per week, to parties for
work done at their homes. In order to
secure fair dealing the advertisement
asked that dollar be sent to the Dur
ham Manufacturing Company on receipt
of which ring and receipt for gold
plating would be forwarded to the send
er's address. Inspector Hall sent his
dollar and received hoop ring of brass,
covered with some kind of coating, the
exact nature of which is unknown, and
very unintelligible directions for setting
up an ordinary three cell battery for cleo
tric plating.
Inspector Hall went to Durham and
found that W. III. Field was the Durham
Manufacturing Company. He had an
average of fifteen answers day to the
advertisement and had secured good
deal of money.
Yesterday morning United States Mar
sbal Saunders arrested Field and brought
him to the city.
Union Mutual Life Insurance Company.
At the meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company, held yesterday, Mr.. Samuel S.
Boyden was elected actuary of the COM
pany. Mr.. Boyden first entered the en-
ploy of the company in 1872 as a junior
clerk. was promoted to senior clerk, from
that assistant to the actuary, and later on
has had entire charge of the actuarial
department. He gains his promotion
through long and well merited service
with the company.
The officers of the Union Mutual are
striking examples of the civil service
idea. Secretary Arthur L. Bates entered
the employ of the company in 1869 as jul
Nor clerk, was promoted to have charge
of one of the department desks, from
thence to chief accountant, cashier, as
sistant secretary and secretary.
Assistant Secretary j. Frank Lang
first entered the employ of the company
in 1872, as accountant in one of its branch
offices. Later on his services were trans
ferred to the home offices of the compa-
ny as junior clerk, and from thence he
was promoted in similar manner to
Secretary Bates, to have charge of one of
the department desks, then chief &C
countant, cashier, and finally assistant
secretary.
Cashier Joseph E. Henley has been in
the employ of the company since 1876,
and like the secretary and assistant sec
rotary, has won his promotion through
| long service in the other departments of
the company.
Mr. Frank NJ. Bolles, who has lately
been appointed assistant to the cashier,
entered the service of the company in
1880 as messenger boy, then he was as
sistant in the mailing department, from
which position he was promoted to other
work of the office until he had been Civ
en- entire charge of the real estate and
mortgage accounts, from which he was
promoted to his present position.

A GOOD SIGN.
Business Men Feel Better Because Trade
is Better.


is Better.
Fort Worth is gaining ground. There
can be no doubt about that. The stagna-
ton of the past year is slowly but surely
disappearing, never more, it is hoped, to
return. There is work for the laborer and
the sound of The hammer and the saw, and
the ''plunk-plunk'' of the tools of the stone
mason and bricklayers are heard on every
side. Fort Worth is also gaining in the
number Of merchants doing business in the
city, and the cry of dull trade seems 10 have
departed. When questioned they will re-
ply, ''Trade is good with US, - or, swell, we
have no complaint to make. Everything is
lovely, and business is picking up in our
line" The manager of the telephone COM
pany, Mr.. ]. Henderson, when questioned
as TO how business was with his company
here, said: ''Well, we can gauge the bust
ness condition of a city very well by the
increase or decrease of a demand for tele-
phones, as when trade is duh and the mer-
chant is losing money he looks around to
discover some way in which he can cut
down his expenses, and he will, though
unwisely, in many cases order out his
phone. Judged by our standard trade is
certainly reyiving, as hardly day passes
that we do not have an order Cor a new
telephone, and in the last three weeks we
have put in thirteen" And this is the way
they all talk All look on the bright side,
and when optimism pervades a city there is
generally some good reason for it.
