THE PRESS PORTFOLIOS.
Wild Flowers of America in Great De-
mand by Artists and Decorators.

Wild flowers offer subject of which
artists are never tired. Their varied
colors and shapes give many hint to
the painter and to those interested in
such work as china decorating they are
invaluable in furnishing many delicate
figure for an elegant vase or other piece
OF china. In the series of portfolios now
being issued by the PRESS those inter
ested in these hobbies will find great
help as here the flowers are gathered and
arranged, in all their natural colors,
many of them looking as if painted by
hand, SO well is the photographic work
done. Artists as well as botanists have
had hand in the work and not only are
the flowers represented true to nature
but they are arranged in a way that
shows the work of master hand. 1t is
no wonder that the series is in great
demand among people thus interested as
they know the value of the work and the
labor involved in thus collecting together
SO many artistic gems. Twelve numbers
in this series are ready and No. 10 will

Peaks Island.

A petition is being circulated for the
signatures of those in favor of the ex-
tention of Central Avenue to the east
end of the Island. and also for the ex-
tension of Island Avenue around the
island. Thousands of people visit this
place every season, and desire to see the
beauties of the southern shore, but for
the want of q road cannot get there. On
the day of the late carnival the island
was thronged with visitors from the CITY
and surrounding country, and while
waiting for the sailing of the decorated
boats were talking of the need of an
electric railroad or boulevard for car
riages around the island. Here is an on
portunity for a good move to boom this
famous summer resort and help Port
land very materially.
The driver of the Chapman House
buck board has had his team photo
graphed. Those spotted. horses attract
much attention on the island, and
are prominent feature in the accommo-
dation of this house. Although opened
to the public SO late in the season, this
hotel is already well patronized and
promises to be one of the best on the
coast.

A CROOK IN TROUBLE.
Samuel Loring Griffin Arrested for
Robbery.

About year ago parties visiting the
Rookledge house at Popham beach. lost.a
quantity of jewelry. This Jewelry was
brought to Portland and:pawned at.Druker's
pawn shop. The robber was not caught.
The jewelry was valued at over $500.
Yesterday man went into Druker's shop
with quantity of clothing he wished to
pawn. He ha6 been drinking heavily. As
an introduction to Druker he reminded him
that he gave him a good bargain in the sale
of the jewelry last year. Druker immedi-
ately got Officer Norton who held the man
in conversation while Druker went up to
the marshals Office and notified the mar
shall that the long looked for thief was in
the office. The marshal and officers went
down in the patrol wagon. secured the man
and locked him up.
1t was than ascertained that the robber
was no other than well know crook and
gambler by the name of Samuel Loring
Griffin. This same Griffin, the marshal
says, served time some four years and more
at Thomaston for breaking and entering the
Ward house at Auburn. On being
questioned about how ell the clothing he
desired to pawn, came into his possession.
Griffin said he bought it of one of Fore
paugh's men on the train. The clothing
consists of very heavy mixed cloth over
coat, several overcoats of lighter weights,
brand new steel COLI red suit and several
other suits of clothes. Griffin on being taxed
with pawning the jewelry last year at
Druker's, declared that it was put up at
faro at Old Orchard against his $50, and
that he won it. Griffin is about SO years old.
short and thick set. with a blonde mustache
and blue eyes, On the 18th of this month he
pawned lot of clothing at Berenstein's
The clothing sold at Berenstein' s consisted
of ten pieces. Thele is an overcoat, that
must have cost $50 of $40 and belonged to
a very large man. All the clothing that
Griffin has brought to Bernstein's and
DIuker's must have cost several hundred
dollars as it is all of fine quality. 1t seems
that there was another man with Griffin
yesterday, to whom he gave piano cover,
that he chad his clothing wrapped up in.
When this man learned that Griffin was
arrested he didn't want that piano cover in
his possession and Immediately took it to
Druker who brought it to the marshal.
Druker knows who the man is and perhaps
it would be good idea for him to explain
to the marshal his connection with Griffin.
The latter tells various stories about his
possession of the clothing. He said at first
that they all belonged to him and he brough
them from home. He also said later that
he bought them all, together with the valise,
from a Brunswick man tor 1918. 1t is of
course de4irable to locate the owners of
the clothes, but probably the man will be
held on charge of stealing clothing from
some person unknown.

A BICYCLE THIEF.
An Innocent Young Fellow Who
Should Be Caught.

He Bummed Nights Lodging and Break
fast-Then Hired Bicycle and Failed
to Return.
I Yesterday the police department. sent
out 30 or 40 postal cards to differen
cities ami towns on which the follow
ing was printed, whic h explains itself:
Bicycle. Taken from the Lowell Arms
Company. No. $50 Middle street, on the
morning of August 18th. Hired for one
hour'at 7.5, by one who gave his name
as G. H. Elliott and said that he board
ed near the Union Station; age IS or 49,;
light complexion; wore light suit,
with small silver or nickel badge of some
temperance society, small eyes; height
five feet, four inches. The wheel was
model 10, No. 1917. with Dunlop tire
on front wheel and Morgan & Wright
tire on the rear wheel.
AS soon as Agent W. H. Chase felt as
ured that the bicycle wasn't coming
back, he notified the police ana he set
out to do some detective work himself.
He sought the boarding houses near the
Union station and soon found that this
youth whom he had trusted with BIZ
cycle had stopped ut the boarding .house
of Charity E. Cornish at 229 St. 10 I'm
street. He came there Thursday night.
said that he had lost all his folks,
pleaded poverty and wanted nights
lodging. They took him in he was such
young fellow, andshaving got supper,
lodging and breakfast for nothing, he
left in the morning and went straight
to Mr.. Chase's bicycle agency. where he
said that he wanted to take the wheel
fora short ride in behring's Oaks. He
mounted and rode off down Middle street
toward India. He rode fast, but uu-
steadily, as if he was something of a
novice. He must have gone round and
back by way of Congress or Cum berland
streets, because he soon after appeared
at Mrs. Cornlsh's house and made the
statement that his grandfather was dy-
ing in Lewiston sand would they lend
him 81. rs to go there. AT that Mr.. Cor.
nish orderedahim off the premises. He
rode away toward the Union Station,
andSMr. Cornish followed, as he had COLI
Guided that he didn't come by the BIZ
cycle honestly, and resolved to take it
away from him, but the wheelman didn't
stop at the Union Station, but kept on
tow ards the Cape.
On learning this Mr.. Chase went out to
Old Orchard and made arrangements to
capture him. theresshould he arrive.
This is the second bicycle that Mr..
Chase has lost. About two weeks ago a
man hired similar wheel and did not
return it. 1t was ascertained that he
took the Boston boat. He escaped with
the wheel. This man didn't take the
Boston boat, because the bicycle was not
aboard Of her when she sailed. 1t was
a $115 bicycle.
