Elevator.

George Lester, the man who was In.
jured at the new elevator Tuesday morn.
ing, died at the Maine General hospital
early yesterday morning without hav-
ing regained consciousness.
The only injury which was visible
when he was examined by the physicians
was a compound fracture of the thigh. Ii
was thought that he had sustained serl-
Gus Internal injuries, but they could not
be positively ascertained. Coroner Per
~ was summoned yesterday and given
charge Of the case.
The body of the young man will pro-
badly be forwarded to his home In Birm-
ingham, Eng. as he has no relatives In
this country. Lester carried an accident
insurance az do all the men employed
on the elevator, the premiums on which
are paid by the Barnett & Record COM
pany, the contractors. This will provide
sufficient to cover all expenses connected
with the preparing Of the body for ship
ment.

DEPUTY PRES ooTT's HARD TRIP.
He Encountered Arctic Weather and Ter
rible Storms But Arrested His Man.

| On the o'clock train from the east
last night United States Deputy Marshal
Noah Prescott arrived here with pris-
oner named Francis Jimmino OF Ash
land, who is charged with selling liquor
without United States license Deputy
PRESCOTT had on this trip about the hard-
est experience he has sver encoun tereu
and as he told PRESS representative
last night an experience that ne GOES
not care to 90 through again for some
time. de left here the first OF the week
for Araostook county. and on TUESDAY
was at Presque Isle where 1T was coloer
than 1t has been before in the memory
of the Oldest Inhabitants. The thermome-
ter stood at "a degrees below zero hers
when Mr.. PRESCOTT left for Ashland,
but as he neared the latter place 1t grew
colder and colder, and at Ashland he
found the thermometer registered 20 de-
grees below zero with the wind blowing
20 miles an hour. On Thursday Mr..
Prescott drove over 60 miles and went
half Of this distance straight into the
woods during binding snow storm. In
all IS inches of snow fell during the day
and tbs deputy marsnals way was over
an old "tote' road, the hardest road In
| the world to travel on. In the woods,
at = logging camp, the deputy marshal
found Franois Jimlnino, the man he
was looking for and placed him under
arrest. Then came the journey back to
Ashland. and finally, after enoountering
all kinds of hsrdahips, MIR. Prescott
reached Presque Isle and brought his
prisoner on TO Portland asst night. AS
the chorus sings in the Pirates Of Pen
zance "The life of q policeman is not
happy one" Mr.. Prescott is not apolice-
man, but the words deputy United
States marshal might be substituted
for policeman in this song and the truth
would be told.

Athens and Venice.

With cum ulative interest which IL
evidence Of John L. Stoddard's pro-
ficiency In his art, his lecture course
draws to q conclusion. This week marks
the close of what has proved to be one OF
his most successful seasons. The lecturer
proposed to fill it, is novel in that 1t has
a dual subject, thus condensiDg into one
evening, the entertainment which would
ordinarily be sufficient for two. On Mon
day evening at City hall, Mr.. Stoddard
will give his lecture, one-half of which
will deal with the past history and
present life Of Athens, the remainder OF
the evening being devoted to similar
consideration of Venice, Each has ita
peculiar historical value, each its special
and unquestioned charm. Though Athens
is perhaps most noted through its Rlories
of the past, the recent re-establishment
there of the Olympian games which one
gave 1t fame, has brought the city into
the forefront of oontsmporaneous in
terest Through the kindness of the Bos-
ton .victors in the games of last summer,
Mr.. Stoddard is equipped with photo.
graphs of the exciting conflict and of the
actors therein. which give this lecture
the distinctive interest of study of the
present. The illustrations cover field
which gives ample opportunity for the
beautiful and the impressive, and with
the com hined attractiveness of the two
subjects, an evening of enjoyment should
result which will leave pleasant memories

From the Now York sun.

From the New York Sun.
Among the members of the old Irish
Parliament there were many who loved
Joke and who believed that, while
any fool might make a good pun, no
fool could make grand bull. Sir Boyle
Roche used to prepare his bulls with
the greatest care. and many of them
covered a whitening sneer, while others.

sound advice. Two examples will
sufhce: Commenting upon the exag-
gerations of the period, he wrote to a
trlend: The country, as you know, is
in dreadfully disturbed condition.
While l am writing this letter I have
sword in one hand and pistol in the
other The best way to avoid the
threatened danger is to meet it plump"
But without going back to the days
OF Sir Boyle, it is only necessary to re-
fer to the report of one of the compara-
lively recent census officials in Ire
land. He gravely stated that in a cer-
tain county more men were married
than women!" On being taken to task
by his superiors for his "atrocious Irish
DULL" he denied its existence, and had
the laugh on them when he said that in
the county in question handsome and
Well-to-do widows were always in de-
mand, and some Of them had buried
two or three husbands. That was pre-
clsely the state of affairs that put the
marriages among the men in the ma
jority.
