A Much wanted young Man.

Tom Quincannon, who was wanted by
the police last summer on charge Of be-
ing one of number of men who engaged
in riot in Foundry lane, running from
York to Commercial streets. was arrest
ed on Centre street last night by officers
Ball and Phillips. Quincannon was in
dicted by the grand jury last September,
but at that time he thought the climate
of Portland did not agree with him and
went away. He returned to Portland
several weeks ago, and the police have
been looking for him ever since. But
Tom has been hard to find. It's alleged
that he has been sleeping around in out
of-the-way places, and among others a
barn on Park street, to get into which he
made himself liable to charge of break
ing and entering, which will be brought
against him.

Rosedale.


Mr.. Mark Price, who plays the digni-
fed role of Colonel Cavendish May, in
the picturesque drama, Rosedale," at the
Portland theatre, Friday and Saturday,
January 9TH and 9th, is not only an actor
of unquestioned ability, but he is also
the author of several successful plays.
Knowing this, young Bostonian who
has written play went to MIR. Price and
asked him if he would not kindly read
his manuscript. Mr.. Price. who by the
way, is one of those honest. frank fell
lows, replied to the question: Ny dear
boy, have written myself more plays
than I could conveniently read the next
year. You must excuse me, because
should I read your manuscript, might
be tempted to write another play myself,
and this / have been trying to escape
ever since I wrote the last one.n The
young dramatist is still searching for
some one to read his play.

A TEN CENT PIECE.
1t Puzzled Conductor and Reduced an
Elderly Woman to Extravaganza and a
Young One to Tears.

A funny incident happened on a Con-
gress street horse car the other day.
Sitting side by side among other passen-
gers were smart young woman and a
positive appearing elderly woman, who
were evidently not acquaintance. When
the conductor came around for the fares
each woman had her money ready and
each thrust TIE coin into the conductor
hand at the same instant. The conductor
glanced at the money and saw that he
had one cent piece and a dime. He
displayed the coins and glanced in
quiringIy from the young woman to the
elderly woman.
woman.
"I put in the ten cent piece" said the
young woman at the same instant.
Then the two women looked at one
another, while the conductor hitched
the weight of his body uneasily from
the right to the left leg.
81 don't care, am sure that put in
the dime," said the elder positively.
@And I know that put it in, retorted
the younger defantly.
"You could not have" from the elder.
II must have" from the younger, who
had now become very red in the face.
Then the elderly woman turned to a
disinterested neighbor and invoked her
testimony.
81 am quite sure it was dime that
she had in her hand as she paid" said
the neighbor when thus~~appealed to-.
" But it could not have been" sobbed the
young woman, for had only ten cent
piece with me-"
Here the conductor managed to throw
in the remark that under the circum
stances he would punch only one fare
and return the change to-whom?
While the gallant conductor was
struggling with this conundrum the
elderly woman relented. ooh, don't care
about matter of ten cents. Here is
enough more to make up the difference. "
And the young woman broke into
tears, sobbing that she had been ac-
cused of stealing and was disgraced for
evermore The horse car steadily
bowled along.
