DON'T CHEAT THE EDITOR.
Bill Nye Said You'll be Sorry
II You Do.

THE INDICATOR, like any other news
paper, has some subscribers who lie
awake Of nights trying to hatch up some
scheme or manufacture some lie to beat
the subscription price Of his paper. We
have nothing to say about such conduct
and only refer those subscribers to what
the lsmsnted Bill Nye once said. Nye
ssrmonized thusly:
"Do not attempt to cheat an editor
out Of years subscription to his paper,
or any other sum. Cheat the minister,
cheat anybody, cheat everybody, but il
you have any regard for future conse
quencss, don't fool tho editor. You will
be put up for Office some time, or want
some public favor for yourself or your
friends, and whom luck is a thing Of
beauty, joy forever, the editor will open
up on you and knock your castles into a
cooked hat the first fire. He'll subdue
you, and then YOU'LL cuss your stupidity
for drivsling idiot"

HE REPORTED.
Assignee Selfridge on the
Hadley Estate.
Personal Liabilities Are a
Little Over $4,000.
Assets With Stock at Par Value
Aggregate Over $SS2,0OO.

New Bedford, April 2i.-The personal
creditors of Frank II. Hadley held meet
ing at the rooms Of the board of trade this
noon which was attended by about 20 gem
tiemen, from both i'm the city and else
where. MIR. Hadley's assignee A. j. Self
ridge, OF Boston, was chosen secretary
Mr.. Selfridge was the first speaker. He
said that he had first heard of the diff
cultles after they became public property,
ana had been disclosed at the state house
On the Wednesday after no came to New
Bedford and met Mr.. Hadley, who was
very sick and able to talk business only
In fragments OF few minutes at time.
Mr.. selfridge advised him TO place all his
property In the hands Of creditors, where
upon Mr.. Hadlcy made an assignment
with list ot all he could think Of at tho
time. Mr.. Selfridge went to the Colum-
bla mills and there got the papers from
the safe, and had since been busy trying TO
straighten them out. AS far as he could
ascertain. at the time the assignment was
made, the list of property was printed the
day after. since that time he had tried
his best 20 get at the state OF affairs, but
with great difficulty as the only man who
could shed any light on il was too sick to
talk more than few minutes at "a time.
To the best Of Mr.. Selfridge's belief,
there were personal liabilities of notes Sc
cured and unsecured, smo lnting To S273-
wv. There were probably some other
debts, but not of any consequential size.
MIR. Hadley held mortgages apparently
all good. 10 the extent of Sl7, 296.27. The
real estate included in the schedule filed,
according 20 the figures to be obtained of
the city officials, was worth at assessed
valuation S67, 600 and clear of all encum-
brances. Then there was other real es-
tate since disclosed worth $lS, 900, besides
MIR. Hadley's summer home at Lakeville,
said 60 be worth SSO00 and property held
In trust IN his interest valued at Sl200.
This makes a total of Sllg, 23l. Mr..
Hadley's stock at their face value would
aggregate $3.50, 637, making his total as
sets $os2, 606
Mr. Selfridge stated that there were
notes due Mr. Hadley amounting to S2l,
100. OF these 5000 were notes of the
Bennett and S13, 000 Of the Columbia. 10
this might be added claim on both for
salary from last Juno, the rate being at
the rate of $40, 900 year. Mr. Hadley's
stock would figure up S769, 637. He had
been unable 10 ascertain definitely the
holdings Of Mr.. Hadley in all his CORPORA
lions, but thought IL was slgS. 900 in the
Columbia 40 shares in the Bennett and
sl9, coo in the Whitman mill.
MIR. Selfridge read long list of Mr..
Hadley's notes and the securities OH each
,f them. 1t was an appalling list, and in
view of tho large proportion of them Sc
,ured by the stock of the Bennett and
Column bia, did not seem To stand very
heavy as sources of assets.
