A Hallowell woman came into the JOUR-
NAL Office, yesterday afternoon, and il
qaired if there had been anybody in, sayirg g
they had found $5 bill and handker-
chief with 10 cent piece tied in one cor
ner. She said she had just lost it some
where near the office. While she was re-
latng the circumstances, William jenkins,
young man. came in and heard her tell
log the story. He asked a few questions
aad then gave the woman her lost property.
1t was lucky for her that the money fell
into honest hands. The meeting of the
loser and finder was quite peculiar.

THE RED FIREFIsH.

flict with its sharp spines deadly wound,
but this is mistaken belief, as there Is
nothing poisonous about them.
The size of the firefish's fins is so re-
markable that formerly they wcrc sup
posed to act in the same way as the organs
of the flying fish and to enable this curl
Gus creature to rise in tho air from the wa
ter. Though it is now clearly ascertaincd
that such is not the fact, the use for which
these extraordinary fins were intended is
still ono of the many mysteries for inquir-
ing naturalists.
Tho prevailing color of the red fircflsh Is
pinky brown barred with darker brown,
the head being rcdder than the rest of the
body. The large back and side fins are
reddish brown crossed with bold bars of
black. This fish measures or inches in
length.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ,17.-The
hnance committee met and adjourned
until i o'clock to allow the democrats
to NIL vacancies in membership. The
republicans say that if the bill gets
back into the senate the whole cues
uon will be reopened, and they will
indulge in long debate for the edili-

impossible for the democrats to Get
action on their bills, even if they are
able to get them out of the commit
tee. A contingency, which even the
most sanguine will not admit, is
likely.
Shortly after the senate met. Mr..
Harris offered a resolution that Mr..
White. OF California, be appointed to
NIL the vacancy on the finance COM
mittee. The resolution was laid over
until tomorrow, after n lengthy and
heated discussion. Mr.. Harris also
offered a resolution that there be no
