FRED FERRIS IN BRUNSWICK.
A Gentleman Who Has Probably Seem
and Talked With Missing Portland Boy.

To the Editor of the Press:
l notice in your issue Of this date that
Fred Ferris short, stout boy IS yea rs
of age, living at "a Paris street was
missing.
think it was last Saturday while
standing at my store door a boy Of about
that age and build came along eating
crackers and entered into conversation
with me. He said he had long walk
before him, had walked from Portland
and had got to go to Augusta. AS it
was about 3p. m. remarked that he
would hardly get there that night. 1
asked him whether he was going to walk
on the track or go by the highway. He
replied the latter way. de said he had
no parents and was going to some town
in Kennebeo county to get chance. with
a man to work on farm. I asked him
if he was sure Of job. His reply was
that the man wanJed to hire him last
year.
Have the impression he said he was
from Boston. From the description CIV
en- | have no doubt but the boy ! talked
with was Fred Ferris.
Very TRULY,

On their faces. 1t was expected that the

of Lewiston would arrive in time to

man of Lewiston came to Portland and
went down on the Vivas.
1T WAS q quarter OF three when the gun
was fred from Commodore Merrill's CRUZ
ser just as she crossed the line and the
gun at the club house doomed forth its
response. On board the cruiser were
Commodore John E. Merrill, Charles P.
Merrill, George P. Upham. James G.
Fox and Illsley Noyes.

dyspepsia lifts about half the weight OF

The trouble with most of the so called

Mr. William Il. st. John, who has for

dent Of a large and prosperous national
bank in the heart Of the business por-
ton Of lower New York. though not on
Wall street, has resigned the office Of
president of the bank which he has sue
cessfully managed for fifteen years rather
than be criticised for the open and earn

financial views.
In this Mr.. St. Johns conduct is con-

the free coinage OF silver, and the respect
which all who know him have FOR him

Yet France closed her minis to silver

from its depreciation rather than con-

alone the parity OF the two metals.
This. too, was done when midas mints
