CITY MARSHAL HARMON SUED

Biddeford, December 30.-Papers were
served Wednesday night on City Marshal
Charles B. Harmon in suits for $1,000
brought by John Mason of Portland,
who alleges false arrest and inprison-
ment.
a horse was st elen from John i. Best
of Portland last May. 1t was located
at Biddeford and Best sent Mason, an
employe, to Biddeford, to recover the ami
NAL. Mason was arrested and taken be-
fore the court the next morning. His
claim is that Harmon mistook him for a
thief and roughly used him, in addition
to subjecting him to several lours' con-
fnement in the police station.
Harmon's version of the affair is that
Mason was arrested for intoxication. The
marshal declares that the suit was insti-
gated by his enemies for the purpose of
annoying him

fourths of the towns of the state receive
from the state treasury for educational
purposes more than the amount of their
entire state tax. AS one who had received
his education in the log school house and
had taught in primitive school house,
the Governor spoke in praise of Maine, a
state which has added SO many INDUSTRIOUS
names to the lists of those famous in the
worlds of craftsmanship, literature and
art. He was proud to be the Governor
of Maine; he was sure that his hearers
were proud to be its citizens.
And his hearers applauded, as if they
agreed with him.
These were only few of the things
which occupied the attention of the teach
ers during the day. In the forenoon,
three sections of the society held separate
meetings and many papers were read. In
the evening DIR. Rounds addressed q
large audience on the topic "Lines of
Advance in Education The meetings

ESTELLA PROBABLY LOST.
Left Portsmouth For Boston December 10
and Has Not Reported.

Portsmouth. N. H., December 30.-The
two masted brick carrying schooner Es-
tella, Captain Littlefeld, which left here
December 10 for Boston has not been
heard from since that night and she is be-
lieved to have foundered. She left the
lower harbor in company with the brick
carrying schooner Chiffon, also bound for
Boston. When off Gloucester a violent
snow squall was encountered in which
the schooners parted company, the
Chilion working into Gloucester. The
captain of the Chiffon sailed from
Gloucester to Boston next day, the
weather having cleared. Inquiries were
made in Boston and Gloucester for the
Estella, but she did not show up and no
trace OF the vessel or crew has been found.
The Estella carried captain and two
men, and was owned by VIM. NJ and
Mary Il. Courser OF Dover. She was built

Madison, December 30.-The meeting
of the personal creditors of B. P. ]. Wes-

developed no hopes of settlement, served
to give q line on tha5 gentleman's in
debtedness. The meeting was held in
the law office of G. A. Wilbur at 10 a. m.
and 80 creditors were present Footing
up the various claims of those present IL
said to have given total of upwards
$50, 900, less than half secured.
c. A. Wilbur, G. .. Small and A. j.
Libby were appointed committee to
investigate prospects for the creditors,
and are to report at o meeting to be held
January 10.
Mr.. Weston says that he will do all in
his power to give his creditors dollar for
dollar, and there is no disposition to re-
sort to summary measures.

deserves the place more than Morton Of
Hebron. His passing and blocking have
been strong, and on the defensive he is
easily strongest quarter in the schools.
At left-half, Hal Hunt of Bangor is
the only man, his speed and experience
place him ahead of any other player, and
at right half, G.. Msderes of Kent's Hill
is great mate for Hunt. They are both
very speedy and on the defensive are all
that can be desired.
At.fuif. back there are number Of fl st
| class men, but We think Small of Hebron
t is perhaps the best. His line bucking is
very strong, and on the defensive he is
everywhere, and IS a hard and sure
tackler. J4avine of Waterville is worthy
of mention for this position, his work on
both the. defensive and offensive has tesn
strong.
For captain of this team we shall select
Small, as those who have witnessed the
series of games this fall will acknowledge
that he has shown an unusual ability
both as captain and player.

Gardiner had prior claim to him.

FOOT BALL TEAM.

special dispatch to the Lewiston
Journal from Hebron has this to say of
an all-Maine football team.
As the football season has closed in
the schools it is fitting that an attempt
should be made to pick out an GAN Maine
Team" This is rather serious I'M
dertaking, owing to the almost equal
ability of some of the men, but after care
fully considering the men in the different
schools we think the following is an ideal
| team, and we give our reasons.
At left end, we put Boyker of Thorn
ton. Whitman of Hebron Is q close sec
ond, but we give it to Boyker for his
weight and experience and his ability to
| rush the ball. Left tackle lies between
| Anderson of Portland, sWarren of Nichols
Latin and Tillson of Coburn, with the
advantage in favor of Warren. He has
played better ball against the same men
| than the others, and on a good team
| would show up. better.
| We would give one guard to Hatch of
| Thornton, and the other to Sipperell OF
Kent's. Hill. AT centre, Gulliver of Port
land would be our choice. Keene of He
born was not played up to his last year $
| form, and although his work has been
very strong he should not DO placed on
the team Varney of Waterville High
would be q very acceptable substitute CEN
| tire.
| At right tackle, Lufkin Of Kent's Hill
is the best man, the weight making him
very strong man to rush the ball. and
| a hard man to move.
Oldham of sHebron has no superior at
right end, ahis splaying has been sharp
and aggressive, and his rushing is strong.
At quarter back there is no man that

O'NEIL MUST HANG.

Boston, December 30.-At session OF
the Governor and Council today tvro
hours hearing was given to +. J. Laffier
Of Greenfield, counsel for O'Neil and to
F. L. Green, who assisted In the prosecu-
tion of John O'Neil, .Jr., for the murder
Of Mrs. Hattie Il. MoCloud. After hear
ing the arguments Of counsel the Gov
ernor declined to take any action looking
to q hearing by the pardon committee,
being of the opinion that the evidence
submitted, SO far as 1t war now, was not
of such Importance as to justify action.
1t Is understood Mr.. Lafler' main points
were discrepancy on time, as shown by
the Rovernment, and the absence of blood
on O'Neil's clothing.

INDIAN CONGRESS ENDS

Bombay, December 30.-The Indian

At this point court adjourned 1t is

case will be in by Friday noon and it is
possible the case may go to the jury be-
fore night.

BIG FREIGHT FFIC.

Chicago, December 30.-The volume of
west bound traffic freight that is passing
over the western roads is 80 great as to
astonish the traffic officials There is very
light traffic at this time of the year, but
now the roads are having all the trade
that they ara able to handle. The amount
of business will cause an increase of earn
ings of nearly every western road not
withstanding the demoralized condition
of the freight rates.

! governor IOW0rS Gn6n arose to tell the
teachers what, in his opinion, the country
has done for the city. The Governor said
that perhaps he did not take the same
view of the country schools as some of the
speakers, not being ready to admit that
their condition was as bad as had been
painted. He had faith in the men who
till the soil. He wanted them to have
good schools, nevertheless it was hot
possible to have the system of densely
populated France or of densely populated
and wealthy England in his own spsrsely
settled county up in Northern Maine Yet
the pupils there were anxious to learn
and he thought they were as bright as
the boys and girls of the city. The
Governor did not subscribe to the idea
t lat Maine was retrogarding. He thought
that the increased per centage of illiteracy
might be largely due to the fact that in
mis- own county wore many people in the
MadaWaska region who had not until re-

LEsSENiNG STATURE IN EUROPE

One OF the Chief Contributing Causes
Is the Military Service Exncted.
This relation between stature and
health is brought to concrete express
sion in the armies of Europe through a
rejection of all recruits for service who
fall below q certain minimum standard
of height, generally about five feet, says
Popular Science Monthly. The re-
suit of this is to preclude the possibility
of marriage for all the fully developed
men during their three years in the
barracks, while the undcrsi0cd indi-
viduals, exempted from service on this
account, arc left free to propagate the
species meanwhile. IS il ret an~arcnt
that the effect OF this arti icial selection
is to put n distinct premium Il Tn in
feriority of stature IL so far as future
generations are concerned? This en-
forced poStponcTcut OF marriage for
the normal man implies not merely that
the children OF normal families arc
born later in liic-that would not be Of
great moment in iisclf-it mcars far
more than this The majority OF chill
dren are more often born in the earlier
half of married life, before the are Of

but fewer children. Herein lies the

STAMPS AND COLLECTORS.

Newfoundland is to have new issue
of stamps to consist of seven denomina-
tions.
England will not permit stamp cat
alogues to contain illustrations of Eng
lish stamps, but it does permit illus
trated albums made in Germany to be
sold in England. The stamp dealers
think this inconsistent, and SO it is.
An enterprising firm of Geneva litho-
graphers have been doing an excellent
business in counterfeiting stamps. Re-
Gently they had the audacity to attempt
to copyright these limitations, but the
Swiss government would not let them
go that far.
Some of the utterances in relation to
philately are very amusing. A writer
comments upon auction sales of stamps,
and objects vigorously to them, on the
score that the prices realized are not up
to catalogue values. To-day" he says,
solemnly, lone can buy almost any
stamp he wants at from onc-half to
two-thirds of the catalogue price" 1t
would seem to be apparent that this is
proof that catalogue prices are too
high, but the writer does not see it in
that light.
