we are in clover. We never We're so iubi-

THAT LADY DRUMMER.
She's Interesting, Good Seller and 81 Q
Weighs 200.

Miss c. l.. Allen, the lady drumme,
who visited Phillips and other Franklin
county towns last week, created as much
interest as whole menagerie, solely be.
cause the people here are not in the habit
OF seeing lady drummcrs. Miss Allen is
large, rather prepossessing woman and
she's decidedly fluent and bright She
will weigh probably 200 pounds, but hay
ing a good figure and easy bearing she
does not appear so large from a distance
She has handsome brown hair, ditto eyes,
and she wears a neat sailor hat, set
iauntily little on the side She wore q
green dress and black jacket She's q
representative of the modern woman,
but she doesn't wear boomers; if she
did we would be tempted considering hei
splendid physique to borrow an old, old
description of Daniel Webster and refer
to her as "a steam engine in pants"
: TIC truth is Miss Alien strikes one as
bright young woman, modest but not a
bit bashful, always ready TO say the right
thing whether she's talking about her
business or telling her experiences on the
road.
She says she got q punched half dollar
in Wateryille Of a lady who she thinks
didn t mean to, SO she has forgiven her
Miss Allen didn' know she had it until
she undertook TO pass it and got it showed
back at her.
She says another brush house has had q
representative on her territory, but she has
beaten him in every town bat one; that
was at Greenfield and she owes that
fellow Il grudge for the way ne loaded the
Greenfield traders. She says she's onto
the corned beef hash and bean menus q

merchants Of that lively city gave her a
big trade

The usual preparations for the annual
public meeting of the Eurosophdn Society
of Bates College had been carefully made
and ali felt much disappointment when
Tuesday afternoon and evening were sc
unfavorable. However, the decorations
were carefully completed and presented a
new thought to visiting friends. The
back ground of the stage was covered with
a garnet curtain, n cross which in a grace
full rich were arranged white flowers SO az
to form the name Eurosophia There
were fonr Gothic columns wound with
carlands Of pink and white flowers which
gave q very pretty effect. The oth, I

When the doors were opened the chapel
soon became quite full. No pains had
been spared il preparing this programme
and no effort had been wanting to make
this a most excellent exhibition of Euroso-
phian literary and musical achievement,
| and in this there was no disappointment
Every part was unique. The defamation
captured the audience and after that all
| were enthused with sense OF the mastery
of the subject in hand. The debate dc
serves mention on aceount of the literary
| merits and oreditable delivery. Friends
| of the society and college say that this Is
the best meeting that has been given for
years.

MORE WHISKY MONEY MISSING.
Two Directors supposed te Have
scooped $3.50, 900 TO S45O,O0O.

Chicago. March 26.-The discovery of
another large shortage In the accounts OF
the whisky trust has been made. Be
tween $4,000 and $4,000 which was paid
to the old management as rebates on
freight was not entered on the books The
exact amount is not known yet Positive
evidence has been discovered that the
money found its way into the treasury
of the trust, but the experts at work
on the books have not been able to find
any trace of 1t on the books. The rebates
cover almost the entire period Of the
trusts existence The shortage was made
possible by lodging the interstate COM
merce law.
When Gen. McNulta assumed the re-
ownership of the trust he soon learned
from the railroads which did business
with the trust that rebates had been paid
after freight was billed out and pre-
paid at the rate fixed by the Interstate
commerce commission. Then Receiver
McNulta discovered that the rebates on
shipments of spirits had not been credit
ed to the trust on the books. 1t is re-
ported that two directors got the whole
sum to put them on an equal footing
with the directors who got fat contracts.

A RUN ON A BANK.
IL stops Payment I'm order to Avoid
Sacrificing Its Securities.


Concord. N. H., March 26.-The Nashua
savings Bank has been enioined upon ap-
plication of the bank commissioners To
the court for the reason that the demand
made by its depositors upon the bank for
their deposits is such that the bank is
unable to meet them without selling its
securities at a sacrifice. The bank reduced
Its dividends Jan. to per cent. Since
then the bank has paid to its depositors
over $l5OOOO, and the notices of with
drawals for the month of April aggregate
nearly 100000 more.
The situation of the bank near the Mas
sachusetts line is such that IL is almost
as convenient for its depositors to place
their money i'm Massachusetts savings
banks. where the rate of dividends is
larger Then, again, being a border bank,
a considerable amount Of its deposits are
from nonresident depositors. who came
in from Massachusetts when the bank was
paying a higher dividend than was paid
by Massachusetts banks. The Nashua
Savings Bank has in round numbers
$2600,000 of deposits.
The application for the Injunction was
made solely because of the run upon the
bank by its depositOrs. The bank had
already borrowed $4,000 to meet these de-
mands.
The assets of the bank, at a conserve
tive appraisal. are more than SUFFICIENT
to pay all claims. The bank was exam
ined last September and another examina-
ton will be made Immediately by the
commissioners, after which they will APP
ply to the court for some modification Of
the existing order to give relief to those
depositors who need part of their de-
posits

Washington, March 26.-Our consul at
Kingston, Jamaica, in a report to the
state department quotes Gov. Blake of
jamaica, in his annual message, as say
ing that he has received applications from
Florida for information as to the pros
poets of orange growing In Jamaica. They
came from persons whose groves have
been ruined by the severe frost. and who
realize the precarious nature of the fruit
industry in Florida on account of the
periodical cold waves from which 1t has
suffered. The governor speaks of the eX-
cellence of the Jamaica orange, grown
without cultivation or care. and says
that it is evident that Jamaica could with
systematic cultivation, produce enormous
crops of oranges, lemons, grape fruit
and shaddock equal in quality to that
Of any fruit in the American or European
markets.
He will welcome the introduction of a
regular cultivation that ought to be as
valuable and as stable as the cultivation
of sugar or bananas, and has directed full
to be prepared and forwarded
to the parties IN Florida who have asked
on the subject.
