plans proposed by the pastor for enlarg
ment of the church vestries to provide
better accommodations for the Sunday
school, and also for free public reading
room. This last suggested Improvement
will Inject "a want that is evidently felt
by very many, and one that is likely to
command the hearty. support OF all pub
lie spirited citizens in the village and
vicinity"
The Cape Elizabeth Sentinel says in
referring to the Argus article:
when the statement is made that a
Young Mems Improvement Association
was formed for the Especial purpose OF
meeting the depraved condition OF affairs
above outlined, it is libel on common
honesty and decency. The association
was formed through the personal efforts
OF Rev. Mr.. Ross for the common good OF
the entire community"
Rev. Mr.. Ross also never made any di-
rect allusion to this particular place, but
spoke Of gambling in general as his
own words bear witness:
In relation to my sermon I will say that
my remarks were not directed against
any particular place or person. The
vices of tobacco, liquor, gambling and
personal purity were treated upon, and
the result of playing marbles for Keeps
through the several stages to the gam b.
Ier's fate as well as the drunkard's doom,
and the appalling end to which immo-
rality leads were impressed upon my
hearers.
Again the Argus said Constable
Turner had been at work on the case
and secured list of twelve names.
However, in conversation with Mr..
Turner one evening he said to me, II
don't know anything about it. All I
know about it is what have seen in the
newspapers. They seem to know more
about it than do" But in further con-
versation Mr.. Turner contradicted him
self and said he had been looking after
them. have also been told by others
that he told them he knew nothing about
it, Queer statements these.
No raid was ever made on the house
This was a base and false report, prob
ably put in circulation by some malicious
aud designing person. 1t is true that a
window was broken, but I was told by
member of the club that it was done
by one Of their number in pushing each
other in their exit from the house. No
indignant citizen did this, and I don't
believe that there are any in the town
who would be bad enough to do such a
thing maliciously. They are too law
abiding and inoffensive for that. They
do not believe or endorse such dastardly
work.
Now as to the report that woman had
been notifying the club with a lantern
when the constables were around, I de-
nounce as mean, malicious and coward
ly lie, and the retreat of vengeance and
cowardice. Such a statement is ridicu-
lous and absurd on the face of it, and no
man. with an intelligence above the
brutes would entertain such a thought
for single moment.
Very respectfully yours,
ALBERT H.PRATT.

DON'T cARRYA COUNTERFEIT COIN
1t is Contrary to Law and May Entail Dis
agreeable Consequences.

- "A man better have a live rattlesnake
in his pocket than a counterfeit dollar
carried as pocket piece" said Inspector
Lawrence of the Treasury Department
to Minneapolis Journal man when talk
ing about the carrying of coins or bills
which one knows to be counterfeit. GA
great many men don't know the danger
they run in this thing" he said "Sup-
pose, for instance, that a man has coun-
terfeit dollar which he has had for years,
one that he has picked up somwhere
and carries as a pocket piece. He goes
into store one day and buys some arti-
Gle or other and gets lot of silver coin
in charge. He goes from the store, say to
saloon, where he buys dSink, or to
some drug store to get something or
other-it matters not where he goes,
provided there is one of these smart
young fellows behind the counter, who
is always ready to take somebody up on
something OF other.
Paying for his purchase with one of
the dollars, the man behind the bar or
the counter, as the case may be, filings
the dollar back with the remark that it
is counterfeit. The purchaser, somewhat
abashed and not liking the cycling of the
crowd around, begins to make excuses
to the effect that he did not know it was
counterfeit, and so on, and the clerk.
who is anxious to make record as a
counterfeit detective, suddenly calls in
the police, and the man is arrested. On
his person is found the other counterfeit
dollar, and the possession of the two
dollars is prima facie evidence that he
intended to pass both of them, and that
man hasn't got enough friends in the
world to keep him out of the peniten-
tiary True, it looks hard but that man
had no business carrying arounda coun-
terfeit coin for pocket piece or any
other reason. 1t is plain violation of
theslaw to carry counterfeit money about
with you, something which many people
do not realize.
Suppose happen to know that a man
a cashier in one of the well known banks
of Minneapolis or St. Paul, for instance,
has a So bill in his possession. I 20
and ask him for that bill. He says he
hasn't got it, But, I rejoin, you did
have such bill yesterday in your pos
session, for have the testimony of two
reputable men that they saw you show
it around to some parties. Now 1 want
that bill you have no business with it,
He demurs and makes various excuses
and does not give me any satisfaction.
What do you suppose I do? go out
and get a search warrant and go through
every dollar of money in that bank,
dollar by dollar or bill by bill, until /
find that counterfeit SO BILL and then
confscate it. There used to be no law
ags now . and i the public Generally s1 oneb
to know the facts in the case. And
formerly it was not an offense to make
the dies which are used in counterfeit
ing-anybody could make them and any
body could have them in his possession,
SO long as they were not used, but that
has all been changed now"

the foreigners, who cannot celebrate with

1t is possible that the chief may have to

1t is claimed that vast numbers of people

Chief Burnham Makes a Rule He May
Have to Rescind.
Chief of Construction Burnham has de-
cided that no professions will be allowed
through the Worlds fair grounds, and this
action will probably play havoc with the
arrangements made by foreign govern
n,ents, as well as the different states of
this country, to have celebrations in their
respective buildings. Chief Burnham takes
the ground that these professions would
block up the roadways and that other Wis
itors having equal rights would be COM
pelled to keep out of the line of march.
The case upon which this decision was
based is that of Norway, whose commits
sioner, General Ravn, recently asked the
exposition officials that when the Nor
