Whereabouts of Benjamin Hoffman.
Especial to the PRESS.)
Lebanon, Me-, June 9.-Just four
weeks ago on the night of May 18th, Ben
jamin Hoffman left the home of farmer
James Gerish and not trace of him has
been found A few weeks previous the
boy complained to an aunt, Mrs.
Frank Place, of North Berwick, that he
had been i'll treated by farmer Gerrish.
Mrs. Place says that she told the boy
that he was not obliged to remain on the
Gerrish place and at the same time told
him that he could come to her home but
she has seen nothing of him. Benjamin
hoffman was the oldest son of Henry
HOFFMAN, who died in North Berwick, in
June 1891 The mother died in June of
the following year. Frank A. Schriner
of Boston, was appointed guardian over
the Hoffman children, the father having
left a life insurance of $4,000 to be divided
between the three. Bennie, the eldest
was placed in the Home for Little
Wanderers in Boston, from which he
twice ran away. He had been with the
Gerrish family three years, coming here
is also from the Wanderers Home and
lives with a near neighbor. James
Murray told Mr.. ..Gerrish that the HOFFMAN
boy had said he was going to run away.
The boy has an uncle in Boston, Lewis
Hoffman, of 80 Boylston street, and an
other in Lewrence Mass, Edward koff-
man, who is employed at Bicknel' S
clothing store. Mrs. Gerrish stated that
there was some feeling on the part of
Bennie's two uncles when Schriner was
appointed guardian for the boys instead
Of one of them. Gerrish denies that he
abused the boy, further than to whip him
once for disobeying his orders.

London, June S.-Lord Salisbury, Mr..
Balfour and Mr.. Chamberlain have been
in consultation within the last day OF
two as to what form motion of lack OF
confidence in the government shall take.
1t is understood that Lord Salisbury is
eager to assail Lord Rosebery's foreign
policy, and that he is strongly in favor
of beginning the fight by raising the
question of British intervention in
Turkey, which action in regard to the
Armenians has had only the support OF
the sympathetic Gladstonians of the
maudlin type.
Outside of Conservative circles the
opinion is rapidly growing that Lord
Rosebery has been overmatched and out
olassed by the diplomacy of Russia and
France, both in the Armenian and
China-Japanese affairs.

floor and furniture everywhere, taste
dies by violence, and the apartment. in
stead Of being a resting, restful place,
is a storeroom for furniture.
Good taste is too precious to be sacri-
feed to quantity. It is not necessary to
furnish house or even q room COM
pletely with given sum. One good ar
tic1e year is better than lot of mex
pensive, snowy things. There Is too much
reckless buying. 1t is wise plan to
study the needs Of a room, to select
piece for its utility first; then if the de-
sign is artistic, if the lines are good and
if it is we'll made, it must be beautiful
Simple things are not cheap. but it pays
tires Of simplicity.
Good taste can be illustrated in mex
pensive materials Wall papers are made
in the most delicate tints Of color, and
for those who like hangings and cannot
afford silks or tapestries there are cot
tons and gunny cloth that admit Of most
artistic effects. 1t is the same with car
pets. Solid colors are always good, and
besides velvets and Wiltons there are
felts and monte cloths Of the same va
riety of color. As means permit, few
rugs may be bought, and if properly Sc
1eoted each will be a picture on the
floor.
A great mistake is made in trying to
make $500 do the work Of $1,200. Sac
rifce everything but taste and be con-
tent to get good pieces by degrees. Pre-
fer hard wood and good workmanship ev-
cry time to ridiculous decoration.
Speaking of lounges, touches and
sofas, there is an economy in upholster-
ed seats which can be built as the old
ingle hooks were, between the fireplace
and the walls or below the window.

A Dollhouse.

A dollhouse is great pleasure to
little girls, and even boys do not dis
dain to play with one if ''the other
boys" are not too near. Much satisfac-
ton can be extracted from homemade
one, large box with vertical and hori-
Zontal partition forming four rooms. a
curtain is hung in front, and the little
housekeeper is as happy furnishing and
arranging it as if it were one Of the
costly mansions with glass windows and
real doors which are out of the reach Of
ordinary pocketbooks, says a writer in
Ladies' Home Journal. Everything that
is necessary to furnish a house can be
procured in miniature, from lamps for
the drawing room to mops for the k1tch-
en-. Tubs, wringer and dashboard for
the laundry, a revolving clotheshorse
and clothespins leave no excuse for the
existence of soiled linen. Ranges in
which a fire can be built, scales that
will weigh the ingredients for tiny
batch of cake, tin bathrooms with
bathtubs that will hold water to give
the washable dolls bath, and refriger-
ators, which are exact models of the
larger ones in everyday use, make doll
housekeeping easy.
a visit to a large toyshop is revela-
ton to those of us who in the days of
our youth had to make our own proper
ties for the dramas Of doll life which
we loved to enact. Here are not only
dolls fans, parasols, shoes and stockings,
watches and earrings, bracelets and
pins, but nursing bottles for baby dolls,
two sizes, looking dainty enough to sat
isfy the hungriest dolly that ever clam
ored for sterilized milk.

Harry Hart, the popular landlord of the

There is little said just now concerning
