Boys are men that have not got as

women that will be young ladies by

When God looked at Adam he said
to himself, swell, l guess 1 can do

made Eve. God liked Eve so much
better than Adam that there have
been more women than men ever
since. Boys are trouble. They are
wearing on everything but soap. If

FAULTY CONSTRUCTION.
The Floor OF Maine state Library ne
Augusta HAS Settled.

The Floor Of Maine state Library NJ
Augusta mas Settled.
AUGUSTA, Me, Nov. 17.--The latest de-
velopment of Importance at the state
house is the discovery that the floor of the
west wing Of the state library has settled
about an inch and a half in the center, a
kind OF a ooncavity being formed. This
portion Of the library Is directly over the
adjutant generals Office, and the floor Is
supported by iron girders 30 feet in length
and four feet apart Between the girders
Is placed the hfeproof flooring, which is
nine inches In thickness, and consists OF
tile with cement at top and bottom.
When the quarters OF the library were
changed into he new part, about 30 tons of
books were shelved, resting upon the floor
in question, which together with the weight
OF the FIRE proof flooring caused the sirders
to buckle and the floor TO settle. Librarian
Carver did riot wish to drop through upon
the head OF G~neral Connor in the adju-
tant generals olice, and so has removed
about half the books which were in the
center of the wing, but TO one standing
near, the difficulty with the floor Is easily
detected.
The weakness OF the floor was reported
20 the governor and council and the COM
mittee on public buildings sent Architect
Fassett of Portland up here, who made a
thorough examination of the floor, and H.
Is understood that repairs under his direc-
tion will commence at once, a truss or
some support to be placed under the floor
of the adjutant generals Office.

A Very Long Chase for a Murderer
Successfully Ended.
SACCO KILLED JAMES SQUIRE
The Malta Believed to Have Tried to Ala
Him, but the Police Were on the
Alert and Acting Promptly Prevented
Any Attempted Rescue.

BosToN, Nov. IL. - Captain Cain and
Sergeant Rosetta of division / arrived in
Boston at 1890 o'clock last night from
Chicago, having In custody Antonio Sacco,
wanted In this city for the murder OF
,ames Squires on Webster avenue. North
End, OH Sunday evening. May 2S.
Since escaping from the city Sacco has
been all over the country in his efforts to
escape the police. He has lost considera-
BILE flesh, and has grown full beard.
The police have received private informa-
tion which leads them to believe that the
great Italian secret organization, La
Malta, intended 10 take a hand In the
affair, although the suspects did not in
troiuce themselves in any way.
Before leaving Chicago an Italian Of that
city went TO Cap ain Cain and Sergeant
Rosetta and told him to keep sharp eye
on their prisoner on the way home or they
would be in danger OF losing him. He
could say nothing more dednite, but the
warning was needed.
Warning Was Timely.
They left Chicago at 230 o'clock Wednas-
day afternoon over the Nickel Plate line,
and reached Fostoria, O., without incident
of any kind. IL was midnight when it
touched that place, and the first man to
board the train WIS the chief of police of
that city.
He introduced himself to the Boston
officers, and told them that he called on
them for the purpose of putting them on
their guard against gang Of Italians who
had boa ded the train. and who, while
waiting for IL to arrive, had been talking
Of rescung the prisoner, who was being
taken to Boston.
The Italians were not long In putting In
nh appearance Six Of them filed into the
smoking carl in which the prisoner and his
guardians sat, and after they had settled
upon plan of some sort, one of the crowd
walked by To the seat occupied by the
party bound fop Boston, and said in Italian
to Sacco: "What part OF Italy are you
frum!n
''Naples," responded Sacco.
Police Acted Promptly.
The stranger was about to PROFOUND an
other question when the captain pushed
him to he ether end Of the car, ordered
his companions TO go with him and took
charge of the train for the time being. He
ordered them not to address the prisoner
again, and his commands were obeyed, al
though with but poor grace.
The officers had their revolvers ready In
case of trouble, and the trainmen had been
armed, but there WAS no demand for the
active use OF their shooters. The gang
was closely watched on the train all night,
and left the car at Buffalo without max
ing any further trouble
This little circumstances, substantiated
by other evidence in the possession of the
officers, leaves no doubt In their minds
that well founded plan to rescue the
prisoner had been made, and that it might
have borne fruit but for the timely warn
ing which they received and the prepara-
tions which they made.
