John Schumacher and Kenneth
Preuss, who are sojourning at Santa
Monica, have joined the ranks of life
savers. On Thursday while Miss Hall
was in bathing, she got beyond her
depth, and would doubtless have been
drowned but for the prompt action of
the young men, who promptly went to
her rescue and succeeded, after a hard
struggle, in getting her safely to the
shore.

A WAR VETERANS FATE.
Taken from Jail to Hospital Only an
Hour Before His Death.

The New York Sun says: James Pote,
arrested in Brooklyn on Feb. 9th on a
charge of attempting burglary, and had
since been confined in Raymond street
jail awaiting trial, died Tuesday night OF
pneumonia in the Brooklyn Hospital.
Although he is said to have been suffer-
ing from the disease for several tdays. his
removal to the hospital took place less
than an hour before his death occurred.
He belonged to a respectable family IN
Portland, and two of his brothers, Isaac
and William Pots live there at present.
He served in the war with the Fifth
Maine Volunteers, and at its close was
for several years engaged in the uphol-
stery business in Portland. He received
a pension from the Government and a
few years ago, when his health began to
fail, he became an inmate of the Soldiers
Home at Dayton, o.
Last July he received legacy of few
thousand dollars, and leaving the insti
tuition, came on to this. city and spsnt the
money In reckless manner. He was
living at the Commercial Hotel in Wash
ington street atssthe time of his arrest.
Some. of his associates at the hotel say
that he had been drinking hard all the
time he was there and that he was intoxi
GATED on the night he was arrested while
trying to enter vacant house at SO Law
renee street. Two men who met him in
Myrtle avenue within an hour of his ar
rest said that he was SO drunk he did not
know what he was doing.
The police evidently believed that the
burglary charge against the veteran
could not be sustained for he was. held
simply as vagrant. Coroner Coombs
will probably inquire why he was al
lowed to remain in the Jail for over six
weeks without having the complaint
against him disposed of and also why he
was not removed to the hospital sooner.
The Grand Army men will see that he
receives a decent burial.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Agent Perry Will Try the Value of a Re-
cent Statute,

In March, 1893, complaints were made
to tho agent for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals that animals belonging
to Frank P. Warehouse of
Beach Hill, Scarboro, were Ill treated,
and Agent Perry had Waterhouse ar
rested, brought before the Municipal
court and fined $40 and costs. Since then
Mr.. Perry says-at least with the rsturn
of winter-Mr. Waterhouse has been up
to his old habit of starving the animals.
He did it in 1884, and has the past win
ter and the animals are now in bad con-
dition. Mr.. Perry will now proceed
against Waterhouse, as the cattle are be-
ing provided for by neighbor of Water
house, Mr.. Stewart, under section A,
chapter 1854, acts of 1898, which reads as
follows:
ANY person may take charge of an
animal whose owner has cruelty
abandoned 1t, or cruelty fails properly to

A Relic of Daniel Webster.

Mr.. William W. Carman, of the Car
man. Thompson Co.. Lewiston, has in his
possession a very old but well preserved
rocking chair that was once the property
Of, and favorite seat of. Daniel Webster
while a student at Phillips College, Exc
ter, N. III. The chair is handmade, the
framework and rockers being of solid
oak and the seat pine. The centre of the
rockers are considerably worn, but it
is in good condition and it is used every
day in Mr.. Carman's private business
Office
While Mr.. Webster was attending
Philips Academy. at Exeter, N H., he
became acquainted with Mrs. Petty
johnson, an old but highly respected lady
of the town, who did his washing, iron
ing and mending, and when about gradu.
ating, he presented to Mrs. johnson. this
old chair, which he had used constantly
during his collegiate course, in which he
had rocked out" the problems of life
which served him SO we'll in after years.
When Petty johnson died, this chair
was willed to Aunt Sally Bennett. an old
maiden laey OF Exeter, who attended
Mrs. johnson in her last days..
Some years ago, while Mr. Carlnan
was residing in Exeter and doing bust
ness with the Exeter Machine Works, he
became acquainted with Aunt Sally Ben
nett and frequently called on her, this
old chair always being his favorits seat.
When about leaving Exeter, for Lewis
ton, Miss Bennett presented Mr.. Carman
with the chair, which he holds today
with great deal of pride.
Mr.. Carman has been repeatedly solioi-
ted to donate the chair to the Historical
Societies of New England and New
Hampshire, but as yet has not made up
his mind to do so.

GRANITE STATE.
Statement Made to the Members by the As
signees.

u. Arthur Taggart, assignee appointed
oy the court in New Hampshire to wind
up The business of the Granite State
froVident Association, has is
sued a statement to mem bers in which
he says: According to the statement OF
Cne assets and liabilit les of the associa-
tlon as presented to the court by the
commissioners, and as have been in
formed by them personally, there appears
to be deficit of over $3.50, 600. Whether
this amount will be increased or de-
creased depends entirely upon the turn
ing of the assets into cash.
The expense attending the liquidation
OF the association will be as small as
possible. The Office force has already
been reduced and will be reduced
further from time to time
II their assistance is not needed in turn
Ing the assets of the association into cash
and finally distributing the same to its
numerous patrons.
In the meantime no withdrawals can
be allowed as the book value of the shares
cannot be determined absolutely until
the assets have been realized upon, or
their actual worth determined. 1t is
possible, however, that percentages may
be paid to members and creditors from
time to time as the funds in the treasury
accumulate for that purpose. No men,
bers who have fled notices Of withdrawal
will have precedence or advantage over
the other members and no notices need
be filed hereafter, as all members will bs
used upon a basis of strict neutrality,
SO far as the Jurisdictions of the differ
emit States allow; and just consideration
will be given all equities to which mem
bers are entitled.
There are many points concerning
the liquidation which, from the nature
OF the case, must necessarily be sub
mltted to the court for decision. This
will be done by the assignee in order
that legal justice may be shown to all.
Investors or members holding unpledged
shares need make no further payments
and no fines will be charged TO their &C.
counts for default Of payment. Bor-
rowers are urged to pay all interest and
premiums due on their loans and will be
allowed full credit for the same. This
is an indebtedness due the association,
under the terms of their mortgages, up TO
the date of their payment and discharge.
| have learned from the bank commits
sioners Of New Hampshire and the exam
liners from New York State and other
sources that the business of the associa-
ton has been badly mismanag ed by it's
directing officers. Among other things
find that a large amount of the dues
paid by members has been diverted for
expenses and has been SO used under con-
tracts made to this effect by the assooi a.
ton, with persons who have also been
foremost in debating its policy.
1T is to be hoped that you will not
be unnecessarily alarmed as I again as
sure you that your interests will be cared
for and protected to the extent of my
ability. And again I urgently request
and advise that you take no action to
add to the complications which AHEAD
exist. for, in my judgment, such action
will only result in further loss to you"
