trunks reaching from the waist to within

suggestion of untidy or indecent exposure
of person" The ordinance also makes it
unlawful for any person TO disrobe for the
purpose of swimming except under the

Not Lawyer Aram.

Attorney F. Aram is looking for some
one who, be says, played him very mean
trick on Saturday night.
On the prison register is this little item
FRANCIS Aram, attorney, drunk at First
Nnd Franklin" In the column in which
the ultimate disposal of case is recorded
are the words Gown recognizance. This
last item is tinged with suspicion, as it is
not usual to permit DRINKS arrested on the
water front to depart on Their own recog-
nance. Mr.. Aram denies most en-
phatically that he was at First and Frank
lin streets on Saturday night or that he
was drunk. Had he been, he says, he
would certainly have been able TO put up
the necessary bail to secure his release.
Mrs. Aram, wife of the attorney, is the
woman who enjoyed much distinction
some months ago by being appointed a
Deputy Sheriff BY Sheriff White Not long
ago she was deprived of her star, as the
Sheriff said s'She talked too much" Now
Mrs. Aram says that the entry on the
prison register that reflects on her husband
is part of scheme to blacken him in the
community.
Returned From Ireland.
Rev. Father insolvency returned home
last night from trip to Europe, where he
had been for the purpose Of regaining his
health and particularly his eyesight:
II had such a lovely trip" said Father
insolvency to-day, THAT a volume would
not do it justice. One of my most inter
esting was an interview with the Pope.
His Holiness spoke about the interest he
had in this country, and in everything he
SAID he evinced the greatest interest in the
United States.
''In Ireland" said Father insolvency,
Everything is topsy-turvy. There seems
to be a lack of unity but the parties are
striving and hoping that they may be able
to come together. To my way of thinking
one of the most unfortunate of conditions
is the absence of factories. Perhaps In
Belfast there is some evidence OF industry
of that kind and thrift. Most of the young
people, however, in the south of Ireland
have left the place for other countries
The famine which you hear about and
read about we looked for and were glad
that we looked in vain"
McLean's Successor.
The annual meeting of the First Congre-
gational Church will be held Wednesday
night Something IS expected to be done
in the matter of selecting a pastor to sue
coed DR.. Mclean. 1t is reported that the
committee on the selection of pastor has
AGAIN turned its attention to DIR. Boynton
of Boston, with view of securing him to
fill the vacancy.
DIR. Mclean goes East early next month,
And he expects to call upon DR.. Boynton.
He will be delegated to present the situa-
ton to that gentleman in clear and con-
cIusive manner, and it is believed that the
Boston divine will reconsider his declina-
tor.

Professor Max Miller asks for money to
photograph the inscriptions of the Kutho
Daw, near Mandalay in Burmah, before
they are destroyed. The Kutho Daw is a
collection of over 700 Buddhist temples,
each containing a white marble slab, on
Buddhist Bible, is engraved; together they
give the entire work, which consists of
275, 200 stanzas. or s, 1903 goo syllables, nearly
fifteen times the bulk of our Old Testa-
ment. The language is the Pail of the
fifth century before Christ believed to have
been spoken by Buddha; the characters
are the Burmese letters, and the text was
revised by learned commission. The
monument was erected in 1857 by Mindon-
min, the predecessor of King Thebaw, but
the dampness of the climate is rapidly
effacing the inscriptions.

this reason Judge Brown dismissed
the case against him. In the

lives the people have, timeand again,
complained to the police OF the
actions OF the doctor while at the
house OF the woman. Last night
although the doctor claims to have
been on a purely professional visit
he carried us medicine for the
woman n box OF grapes and a bot
tie OF liquor, and the police saw hin
sitting at table with her enjoying
his "medicine' For the present the
GRAPHIC will suppress his name, but

he does aver that it was 'profes
