The Girl w.th the Rcd Hat.

William White is dispatcher on one of the great trunk lines of the north. He has had 8 great many amusing ex- peEiences with sleepy operators He said is frequently happened that night operators falhng asleep on duty would open their keys and report trains thaa were purely mythical
 'One night" said he, II had ooes- sion to call a station down the road for the report of train. The operator had been out on an excursion during the day and had been attracted by young lady who wore red hat, and whom he thought he had met somewhere before, but whom he could lot place He was about half asleep when he answered my call, but he evidently understood what wanted. Anyhow he began reporting the train. When he had half finished the report, he must have fallen asleep, and tho only thing that could get from him was, Who is that girl with the red hatf' He repeated the question several times; then his hand must have dropped from the key, and he slept soundly.

When 1t arrived at X station, I found that tho regular freight was quite late. and gave the wild freight an order to run to c station regardless of No 10, the regular, but forgot all about the wild train running west in the opposite direction.

 A few minutes later, however, the operator as 0 station began calling me, almost tainted with joy.
 No. 10 is bere, the instrument ttoked. Her engine is broken down, and she will have to set out half the train and go in on one side.

 THERE are now in the vaults of Uncle Sam no fewer than 1869, 900, 900 in coined silver money. Stacked up in the usual 5000 boxes. This would be equal to about ,027 cords. The uncoinad bullion would make SITS. .000, GOO, or 800 cords more. It looks as though it would not be ab- so3utely necessary to freely and un- im;tedly coin all the bar silver in the universe to obtain circulating medium until after a few hundred cords of this stuff shall be more in touch" with the people.

As suggested by the Ga@ette a joint discussion of the currency question between Judge U. M. Rose and Senator J. K. Jones would be very interesting and instructive to the people of Arkansas. Two abler and fairer men could not be found to present their respective sides, and such discussion would do much to get this important subject in a clear light before the people of this State. Tire q scussion at present indulged in throughout the State, is, as rule, not instructive, emanating from prejrd;ced and incompetent minds, and opinions formed without a thorough investigation of the sub iect. We nope Judge Rose and Sen ator Jones will consent to the dis cussion.

REDUCED RATES FOR MAINE,
New England Insurance Exchange Takes
Action That Will be Great Benefit to
the Pine Tree State.

Boston, June 92-The New England
insurance exchange at a meeting held
yesterday fulfilled it's promise made to
the people of Maine two months ago,
when the Legislators of that State re-
pealed certain legislation adverse to in
surance interests.
The exchange is the rating organization
OF the fire insurance companies doing
business in Maine, and yesterday it passed
law making general reduction in all
rates of 10 per cent, excluding only mill
and similar property rated by special
committees of the exchange Farm prop
erty is included in the reduction.
An elaborate report for making reduc-
tions on a graded scale, according to the
fire protection of the cities, was prepared
by the committees on State Of Maine
matters, and was discussed at some
length at several meetings. It was dis
carded, however, owing to lack of un-
animity among the members of the com
mittees
AS soon as practicable the various local
boards which have been appointed since
the repeal of the anti-compact law will
get to work and make new rates for the
whole State. These rates will doubtless
be more in keeping with the wishes of
the peopl than the 10 per centireduction.
1t is believed that the action of the ex-
change in making this reduction will
meet with the approval and appreciation
OF all property owners in the State of
Maine as we'll as of insurance men gene
rally.

O. Littlefeld, who disappeared from the
Maine hotel at Auburn at October Z, 1894,
was found the Little Androscoggin river,
one mile from this city this evening The
body was discovered by boy floating
near the surface. A rope was tied around
the waist of the body. The supposition
is that the other end of the rope had been
tied around a stone The body was identi-
fed by receipted doctors bill; also by a
registered letter receipt from the Auburn
post. Office A gold watch and small
amount of money was found in the

Littlefield's trunk at the hotel. The affair
was surrounded in mystery and created
much excitement Littlefield's father, a
Chelsea, Me-, farmer, offered reward
1t is believed that the body has been in
the river since the date of his diappear :
ance, and is badly decomposed. Little
fields father was notified by Coroner
Plummer, who took the body from the
river. 1t is not expected an inquest will
be held

PRESIDENT HYDE's SOUND ADVICE.
"Past Achievement is No Life Preserver to
Float One on the Stream of Life.''

Brunswick, June 23-The baccalaureat
sermon before the graduating class
Bowdoin College was preached at p. M,
in the Congregational church by the
president, Rev. VIM Dewitt Hyde, D.
d. LII D. His text was: "How be it
I must go on my way today and tomor-
row and the following" Luke 1888
Said the preacher: 'Platinus, when told
that the shade of Hercules in meadow of
Asphodel rejoiced in the great deeds he
had done, replied that the shade of
Hercules might boast thus to the shades,
but the true Hercules accounted all past
deeds as naught, being transported into
more sacred place and strenuously en-
gaging, even above his strength, in those
contests in which the wise engage
There is no more pitiful object
achievements. In the soldier this
tendency degrades the honest and heroic
patriot, whom we admire almost to point
of reverence, into claimant for unjust
preference and dishonest pensions whom
we can scarce endure. By this backward
look, the athlete whose magnificent
development and splendid prowess is the
ates into graduate who hangs around
the college feeding his conceit on the dry
crumbs of his undergraduate fame, when
he ought to be about some honest bust
ness. So the scholar who tries to live on
his college rank and office honors dis
credits the college from which he comes
He becomes laughing stock of the world
to which he goes. Past achievement is
no life preserver to float one on the sur
face of the stream of life. Its only
present worth is the purpose and power
it has developed with which to breast
and buffet the oncoming waves The
problem of life is heartily to enjoy today
courageously to face tomorrow, serenely
to trust for the day following The child
does the first, the practical man does the
second, the mystic does the third. To do
all three at once, to make life a joyous
and strenuous and tranquil whole, one
must have the spirit Of generous and
loving service which was the open secret
of Joy and courage, and serenity of Jesus
and, under great difference of names
and wide diversity of forms, is ever the
hear of Christianity

An Alleged Forcer Captured at Biddeford

Biddeford June 49, A man giving his
name as E. G. Hicks was arrested to-
night charged with passing forged checks
on local merchants. He was captured at
the railroad station about train time.
He refused to give any information re-
garding himself.
His arrest was due to the effort of
Thomas F. Cosgrove, shoe dealer who
had given stranger pair Of shoes and
S12 80 in exchange for one bogus check
The fellow claimed to be painter in
the employ of John B. Murphy of Alfred
street, paint dealer, and that..the check
represented a weeks wages. Other
victimized merchants were, W. e. You
land and McKenney and Head. The
name of Mr.. Murphy was forged on all
three checks. In few minutes after the
forger left the store, Mr. Cosgrove became
suspicious and hunted up Murphy, and
then notified the officers and search was
instituted. Cosgrove found Hicks at the
Eastern division station about to take the
Pullman Hicks wanted to settle. He
has been crying much today. He is
about thirty-ive years of age
