Mike Kelly's Nerve.

Mr.. Conant of the Boston Baseball club
tells a new story of King Kelly. s'You all
know" said he, THAT Kelly was the man
who got Stivetts and Mccarthy for us
from the ST. Louis club. That was during
the fight between the Association and
the League. We got Kelly not long before
from the Cincinnati Association club, and
he knew we wanted Stivetts and McCar-
thy. One evening while the st. Louis
club was in Boston the door bell at my
residence rang. The girl went to the door
and found three men standing there. One
of them inquired:
6 Is the boss imp
"The girl was rather taken aback, but
she replied, Neg, he's Up stairs
Well, said Keey, for it was he who
was speaking, syots go down in the cellar
and get two bottles, then go up stairs and
tell the boss to come down.
''The girl shut the door, came up to my
room and told me there was crazy man
down stairs. He told me to go down
stairs and get two bottles and then tell
you to come DOWN
What did he look likep' inquired.
"She described him, and also told me of
the two men who were with him. That's
all right, said /. You go down stairs and
get the two bottles.' -

The ORIGIN of Satin.

The discovery of the principle of the
manufacture of satin was pure accident
The word "satin," which originally was
applied to all silk stuffs, has since the last
century been used to designate simply
those tissues which only present lustrous
surface. The discovery was made by a
silk weaver named Octavio Mai During
dull period Of business one day he was
pacing before his loom, not knowing how
to give new impulse to his trade.
AS he passed the machine each time he
pulled short threads from the warp, and
following an old habit put them into his
mouth and rolled them about, soon after
splitting them upoE the floor. Later he
discovered little ball CT silk upon the
floor of his shop and was astonished at
the brilliancy of the threads. He repeated
the experiment and eventually employed
various mucilaginous preparations and
succeeded in giving satin to the world

ill health, to go South for the winter.
Mr.. Loring spent the greater part of last

Successful Mems Meeting.

The hall of the Young Mems Christian
Association, was again crowded to over
flowing yesterday afternoon to listen to
ex-State Secretary Shelton. His address
on Three Things Sure" commanded the
closest attention, and..the speaker by his
very earnest and impressive way of put
ting things brought his hearers to tears
with his pointed illustrations. Mr.,
Shelton won many friends here in Port
land during his short stay last summer
before Secretary Garland came, and they
welcomed him heartily yesterday. The
ST. Lawrence street Male Quartette sang
two selections, which added much to the
attraction of the service.
Such a warm spirit prevailed Mr..
Skeletons address. that fifteen minute
after-meeting was held, at which three
young men decided for Christ.

james Eastman Alias Simpson Is Brought
to Grief. .j4ss a.
One summer evening in 1889, Mr.. Az
thur NJ. Sawyer, looking out of the win
dow of his room on Free street, saw a
man in Mrs. Colby's boarding house
counting postage stamps and secreting
them in different parts of the room. He
notified Officer Gran Frank, but the ofic-
er said the house was not on his beat,
and they had no evidence that the
stamps were not the mans property.
When the Staples Brothers of Lining
ton were robbed of some $1,000, peddlar
giving the name of Simpson, told the
Saco police about overhearing two men
discussing the affair, but they let him go.
Finally they thought he might know
more than he told, but they couldn't
find him.
Last Octobera man applied to Mar
shall Trickey of this city for lodging and
food. He said he came from near Hol-
lis, the home of Simpson, and after
questioning him, the marshal was con-
WINGED he was Simpson. Finally he
was identified by means of a photograph
and sent to Alfred and held for the York
county grand jury. He was held as a
witness until Saturday when d United
States Deputy Marshal Smith went and
brought him to Portland on charge of
robbing the Cornish post Office of stamps
in 1880. Mr.. A. M. Sawyer, after the
arrest, identified Simpson as James
Eastman, the man whom he saw counting
the postage stamps in the Free street
room. Eastman alias Simpson, was
brought before United States Commits
sioner Bradley Saturday afternoon and
was bound over in $500 for hearing on
Wednesday afternoon next.
Eastman alias Simpson, is about As
years old, dark complexion and dark
mustache. He has served eight years at
Thomaston for larceny and robbery, six
years in Massachusetts state prison for
burglary and three years for burglary at
West Gorham.
