The masses are never blind
to their own interests-never!
Great Scott endorses Gold
smith when he says:
I'll fares the land to ha,teniDg ills a prey
Where wealth accumulates and men decay"
Great Scott is a firm be-
lever in the rule Of majorities.
The Masses, he says, must
and shall rule in a republic
like ours.
In his buying, in his enter
prises, in everything he does,
he has forever in mind the
wants Of the Masses.
When Great Scott built his
business on the basis Of Com
mon Honesty good gods at small
pricos) he built better than he
knew.
There never has been such
business as Great Scott has
built in a few years recorded
in the annals of trade.
And why2
Because it had its founda-
ton in Honesty.
Great SCOTS great fve-acre
stores on North Howard street

Baltimore is pretty bad
place to practice usury and

place in the world to do an
honest, legitimate business.

The Christmas Novelties

O'Clock yesterday forenoon at his resi-

CARRIER AND CARBON.
Deering Police Have Completed the Chain
of Evidence Which VIII Convict Them
of the Bar Mills Burglary.

The Deering police have been very reti-
cent in regard to their efforts to convict
Carron and Carrier the burglars of the
break at the Bar Mills post office which
was made about February 1st.
Success, however, has crowned their
efforts as they have recovered portion
of the stolen postage stamps and all
necessary evidence to convict them.
1t will be remem bered that grip CON-
tanning variety of plumber obtained
from their breaks in Portland was found
under the Church street bridge over the
creek. In this was found receipted bill
for one dozen rings at s.. so, made cut to
William Carrier.
City Marshal ST. John Immediately
communicated with the firm whose name
appeared on the bill. Clark & Coombs,
jewellers, of Providence, r. l., and re-
they had dealings with Carrier and that
he had been in the habit of remitting
postage stamps in payment.
They enclosed 81. IA in stamps of the fol-
lowing denomination which was part of
Carriers last remittance: One special
delivery, an answered pair of unused
two cent postage due stamps, and several
five and eight cent stamps, the balance
in the regular one and two cent variety.
The post office was in the general store
of Samuel Meserve & Son, and among
their plumber were found several articles
taken from their store, at the same time
that the stamps were taken. These have
besn identified by their owners
Carrier has confessed to making the
break and said that the total value of the
stamps taken did not exceed $40, and
that he divided the plumber with Car
ron. What became of Carron's share is
not known but the evidence is strong
enough to convict them both of the rob-
berry.
The work of the Deering police de-
serves much commentator as they have
broken up the worst gang of burglars
that has ever operated in this vicinity,
If not in the..state They hope to get the
reward of 800 offered for the conviction
of the parties who made the Bar Mills
post office break. and they certainly
have evidence enough to convict thom, the
only thing in the way being the fact that
Carron and Carrier are in the hands of
the state authorities and this was a
United States offence.
They will have them tried during the
month of April
