STREET BEGGING.
An Intolerabe Nuisance Steadily
Growing in This City.
Victims of Hard Luck Importunc Pc
destrians With Tales of Woe.

The streets were literally alive with beg
gars Saturday night, and pedestrians in
the vicinity of Market Square were es-
pccially annoyed by the opportunities of
applicants for "a few cents to get q
nights lodging. Two of the "knights
OF the road tackled one man at the sans
time and almost came TO blows, each de-
claring that the other had no
business there. One OF tho
heggers, representing himself TO be
an unfortunate weaver, was well
along in his argument when the other, n
boiler maker, interrupted.
"Now you get out" said number one,
"Dm working this man."
$50 to-" thundered the other, with
deep boiler intonation, "fIos going to
hear me and you can shut up"
Then they argued and swore while the
helpless victim tried to back out, but they
followed him up, keeping him between
thom, while their tongue lashing wound
itself around him until the timely arrival
of a policeman scared them of.
The upsuspecting citizen had continued
but few steps on his way home
when he was beset by another hobo.
This time il was "bricls mason," who
did not want sonnet hing for nothing, but
had two plugs of chewing tobacco to ex-
change for few cents. flo was to have
$50 the next day, but was a stranger In
the city and could not raise any money
that night. Inquiry revealed the fact
that he was member OF tho big family
ut the Soldiers home at Bristol
out on parole. He hung
10 his victim nearly an hour, but was
finally shaken of by tho appearance OF
policeman Number two.
Where this thing is going 10 end is
what pedestrians who have TO be out Mt
night would like TO know.

Westminster Church.

Ihe sermon OF the morning was preached
by Rev. Walter X. Greenman OF Fitch
burg, on the topic: sit is 100 good TO be
true" He referred TO the words of John
who said when the Disciples saw God !;
They still disbelieved for joy." This
disposition TO doubt the future, and to
fear the realization OF ones best hopes, is
partly the result of experiences. Practi-
cal life, social, civil and business
and even religious, life falls far short OF
what each ana every one who stops to
consider the question, believes to be the
best attainable. We see failure on all
sides. Some even become almost hopeless
and cease to plan "bcst" future. IL Is
because we have come TO think falsely and
TO say 10 ourselves, perhaps unconscious
ly, at is too good TO be true"
resistance TO hope, a disposition to
accept what comes without attempt to
improve IL, Is TO destroy the well springs
of life and deaden he thought OF an ideal.
From this also como belief that n sinister
her than good power rules the world
and we loso faith in God.
On the other hand stands the faithful,
those whose religion ia their guide, whe
are hopeful and who know that no, hing
is to good TO be true; because that hope
is prompted by and that knowledge
confirmed by well trained conscience; In
n cOnscicnc. trained by the love OF God.
To such hope becomes almost prophecy
and promise Of God, nnd He no longer
says with the prophet,"It is too good to be
true" because ho believes in the iulfilmen
Of ell that IL best.
In tho fu,iillmcnt OF hope and the at
tainment of an ideal, we must be patient.
The ideal seems always TO recede, and SO
10 does as we grow In knowledge ana
grace. But we must look backward as
well as forward, scan our experience and
we shall see many M IDEAL attained, many
IA oh
good 60 he true"

QUEER BANKING.
Some Revelations In the Willimantic Dime
 Savings Bank Failure.

Savings Bank Failure. WILLIMANTIC, Conn.,, July 24-There have been several startling revelations in the Dime bank mystery, among them be ing the announcement that the bank was insolvent months ago.
 On July l last k. A. Bucks term oi office as bank commissioner expired. He declared the bank solvent at the time. Commissioner Crofut's latest examina, tions disprove this statement, and his dis closures caused MT. Buck, who was elect. ed president of the bank Monday after. noon, to resign.
 Commissioner Crofut has also discov. cred that the banks bookkeeping has been of the loosest character. No interest what ever has been paid on many notes, and thousands of dollars in unsecured personal notes have just been found. Among these are two $1,OOO notes signed by William Buck, son of the commissioner.
 It has also come out that Cashier Wal. den advanced $15, 900 of the bank s money for the purchase of the Morrison Machine company estate by Attorney Thomas J. Kelly. MT. Kelly appeared at meeting of the directors and explained that he act ed as MT. Walden's agent in selling ma. chinery to Sutton & Bain of Allentown, Pa., assuming that it was for the benefit of the bank. This was the machinery fol which Walden paid $4, 400 of the banks money. The directors have appointed a committee to collect $7, 900 due on this, and the latter left on train last night for Allentown.
 The directors will meet again this even, ing, and it is thought c. B. Pomeroy and John Scott, the elected president and vice president, will resign.

TheGt Az P. Tea Co,
 29 EAST MAIN STREET.
They Collected Fares.


 The ladies of Rome have just gone through with an experience that has been of unprecedented beauty. Some time ago Superintendent Marvin of the Rome Electric Railway company offered them the electric cars for one day, the net proceeds to go to the St. Peters church building fund.
 They accepted, and they have com pleted the task. The leading society women of the city got together and di- vided up the time into turns of two hours each, and one married and two single ladies took the different turns.
 The girls put on their most attractive summer garments, sewed bands of rib bon on them with "Conductor" in large letters on the front, and they just took the town by storm. The city was full of visiting Masons, and when they caught on to the scheme they filled the cars and the lady fare collectors swung around on the footboards and roped i'll the riches ill q hurry. The day was a big success, and while the weather was warm they didn't seem to mind it and worked faithfully till Il o'clock at night, when the cars were taken off.
 There were some of the most amusing episodes conn ected with the day imagin- able. Many of the passengers, when the young ladies would approach them and timidly hold out their hands, would take the proffered hand and shake it gingerly with a winning glance up into the bright face above, which was quick ly changed to consternation when they beheld the insignia of office on the sum- mer hat and heard the cast iron, Fare, please" from the curling lips.-Rome (Ga Letter in Atlanta Constitution.

The Indian Trouble Tn the Jackson Hol Regions Is Serious.

Regions Is Serious.
 DENVER, July 24.-A special from Chey- enne says: Governor Richards received 8 message from Adjutant General Stitzer, who is in the Jackson hole region inyes- tigating the Indian trouble, indicating that serious state of affairs exists there. The settlers have abandoned their crops and are moving their families out of the country. Indians from Fort Hall and oth- CT reservations are reported going into the country, and all the mountain passes are in their control.
 Definite information is awaited by the state authorities as to the success of the Indian police in inducing hostiles to re- turn to the reservation before sending state troops to the scene of the trouble.
 Men have gone over to join the Hole posse from Teton Basin, Ida, and Green River, and there are today 125 armed men there. They were to start today for the junction of Granite creek and Hoback river at the head of the Hoback canyon, in Hoback basin, about 30 miles outh of Jackson hole, to fight the Indians in their stronghold.
 General Stitzer says all of Agent Teter' $ warriors are there and are now hurryine women and children out of the Hole. Stit- ger says, however, that many are yet there. He also says it is now too late for the government to stop fight. He thinks it possible that hostilities have been be- gun.
