]. Hale. judge of probate for Piscataqu;s
county, VINO committed suicide by shooting
on Thursday last, is now thought to have
been defaulter to the amount of $75,0OO
Judge Hale has been town trustee for thir-
ty years. Since his death holders of notes
in sums all the way from $1,000 to $4,000
have been presenting claims and 1t appears
that he had hired these sums at different
times IN the towns name, but the town
books contain no records OF such transact
tion. The town officers now engaged
in investigating the accounts of the late
trustee. The last town reports showed an
outstanding loan of $S,S41 but notes al
ready found make the amount from $50, 900
to $4,000 and they are still coming in. 1t
is not known what was done with the
money. He has lived we'll. supporting the
appearance of wealth, with little visible
property. His home in Foxcroft is In his
wifes name, but he owned some real estate
in this and adjoining towns. Judge Hale
was universally respected and esteemed
and bore a spotless reputation. He was not
required to give bond trustee.

Flint Class Wor&ers Likely to Re-
turn to Work Soon.
PITTSBURG, April 2.-The strike of the
fiint-glass workers against the United
States Glass Company, which has been on
for nearly twenty months, seems to be
nearing an end. With the resignation of
Ralph Bagely from the presidency of the
company and the election of D. c. Ripley
to the position, the policy of the concern
towards organized labor has changed. A
meeting of the directors of the company
will be held on Thursday and the glass
workers feel confident that it is with a
view to ending the strike. On this point
President Ripley refuses to talk, but he
does say that the relations between the
company and the American Flint-glass
Workers Union are closer now than at any
time since the beginning OF the strike.
The United States Glass Company COM
prises factories all over the country and
controls the flint glass trade.

The representative colored people of the
city and a number of white admirers of
Mr. Douglass were in the audience. Among
the speakers were Governor Pinchback.
Hon. John B. Lynch, Hon. John s. Durham,
Rev. Ruch r. Sippon, Rev. William A.
Credit and Rev. Alex. Crummell, Robert
III. Terrell and DIR. Charles B. Purvis. The
latter, in the course of his remarks, re-
ferred to what he termed the sorry ex-
hibition of race prejuulce recently made
by Governor OFerrall, of Virginia Resolu-
tions were adopted expressing the loss that
America and the negro race has suffered in
Douglass's death. whose story of his own
sorrows and Sufferings did much towards

Father Stephan HOnOred by the Pope.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Pope has
conferred the Rev. Joseph A. Stephan,
of Washington, the rank of private cham
berlain to the Pope, with the title of Mons.
Stephan The announcement was made by
Mgr. Satolli at dinner given by him to-
day in honor of the feast day of st. Fran
els de Paul, after whom the delegate is
named. Many of the local clergy were
present, among them being DIR. Stephan,
and the event was made notable by the
comforting OF the new rank and title from
the Pope. 1t is in recognition of the
long service of Father Stephan as a mis-
sionary among the Indians. and particular
~ his services in Washington of late
years in behalf of Catholic Indian schools.
The honor from the Pope was complete
surprise to him. The Office of private
chamberlain to the Pope is of much i'm
portance at Rome, az the chamberlains are
the immediate attendants of the Pope, and
receive all visitors seeking an audience.
The title of monsignor carries with it the
wearing of the purple outward mark
of dignity.
