H. M'MILLAN BROWN.
He will Be Brought Here to Answer to
Serious Charges.


Arrangements have been made to bring
to this city II. Mcmillan Brown, now in
Jail at Plymouth, Mass, for three months
for obtaining money under false pre-
fences at Brockton, Mass, last Novem-
Der. His sentence will expire February
27. Then MI. David F. Murdoch will
have the swindler brought here to ans
wer for obtaining $50 under false pre-
fences. The check was cashed by the
Chapman banking house.
At Brockton the bank officials arrested
Brown soon enough to recover $40, the
amount of money found on his person.
The check was for $50, payable by the
successors to Keorner g. Hayes, litho-
graphers, Buffalo, N. Y. 1t has been
learned since Browns Imprisonment
that 20 firms in different parts of New
England had been swindled by him out
of $50 each. Several of these accusers
are In Maine. Several Commercial street
people had advanced Brown $40 to $40
on account, and have been informed by
Browns former employers that Browns
thieving operations will not be made
good. Brown was salesman we'll liked
in the trade.

Rare Old Railroad Tickets.


In the general passenger agents Office OF
the Lake Shore road at Cleveland is rare
collection of old tickets. One, if destroyed,
could never be replaced Every issue OF
that road from it's earliest down to the
present has been kept. Several roads which
now form part of that system are also rep
resented. The Oldest ticket is coupon is
sued in 1857 It is printed on green paper
of the cheapest kind. From its typegraph-
ical face it was evidently turned out of an
old time hand printing press. There is no
signature, number or limitation placed
upon it. The route which is represented
was aeon bination of rail and stage lines.
1t was serious matter to undertake jour.
ney in those days.
The first coupon in one old timer was
good over the Cleveland and Erie, from
Cleveland to Girard, distance 80 miles.
Then transfer was made to the Ohio Stage
company's coach, and the traveller was
transferred from Girard to Erie-15 miles.
At the latter place the journey was resum-
ed on rail to North East. A transfer was
again necessary at the latter station, this
time to the Buffalo and State line, finally
reaching Dunkirk.
Three changes in 143 miles would roE
the modern traveller Of all the pleasures OF
journey, and a Is mile ride in the finest
stagecoach would forever kill a roads
business with the commercial world. It
was patched up trip the old ticket repre-
sented, but it was the finest in its day

offered by Mrs. DR.. Merrill, The secretary's
and treasurers report were read and
accepted. 1t was a graf pleasure to the
association that after ne presidents long
illness she was once more able to be
present and tell MT only of past
work, but of her hoptof larger work to
to be accomplished his present year.
Mrs Charles T. Ogde made an able plea
for w. e. Shaunee' having means to
continue his translator of the gospel.
She read letter reently received from
him. Mrs. Ogen rea letters from mis-
sionaries who are giving their lives for
the sake of Christiaizing and civilizing
the Indians, whose learts are sore and
work destroyed by ne rum and whisky
sold by the allotingagents sent out by

graceful that agens sent out to allot
lands to the indians should be allowed
to demoralize ever boys in the mission
schools by whisky.
Mrs. Melvin Bailey, chairman of the
missionary committee read letters from

An Exception to Natures Laws.
According to the general laws Of ma
ture, when body is cooled it becomes
heavier than when it is hot. There is
at least one exception to this rule, and
that is in the case Of water. Now, be-
fore you read further, shut your eyes
and see if you can figure out just exact
" how important this exception is to
humanity. Cool can or other vessel
of water from, say. 70 degrees down to
40 degrees and then pour it into tub
of water the temperature of which is
any place between so and 80 degrees.
You will notice that the cold water
will Immediately sink to the bottom,
and right here is an explanation of the
mystery of river and lake circulation.
But when your cooling process goes be-
low 80 degrees, strange as it may seem,
the water becomes lighter than it was
when it was only one or two degrees
warmer, and if poured into tub heated
as directed above will stay on top or i'm
mediately rise to that position. Now.
let us suppose that water continued to
get uodVEoI do II Sob CoiuoI, do oIAOl
bodies do; what would happen? Ice as
soon as il formed would sink to the
bottom, layer upon layer, and in this
way seas, lakes and rivers would be
frozen solid. But one freezing would
do for all time, as the rays of the sun
would not penetrate the thin skim of
cold summer water to a sufficient depth
to thaw the rigid mass. For us it is
fortunate that there are exceptions to
all rules. st. Louis Republic.
