DIR. Manson.

DR.. Frank G. Manson, formerly princi-
pal of Arson Academy, died at his resi-
dence in Billerica, Mass, of cerebro-
spinal meningitis. He was sick only q
week. The funeral services were held
the next Sunday. The news of DIR.
Manson's death cast a gloom over this
village, where he was so we'll and favor
ably known.
Frank G. Manson was born in Lining
ton, York County, Aug. ID, 1852. He
passed his boyhood on his fathers farm
and in school. He fitted for college
principally at Limington Academy, and
entered Dartmouth College in 1888,
from which institution he was gradual
ed in 1887. After graduation, he be-
came principal of Limerick Academy.
In 1889 he resigned his position at
Limerick to come here as principal of
Arson Academy. He remained here
four years, and then resigned, to enter
upon the study of medicine at the
Bowdoin Medical School, finally gradual
ing from the Dartmouth Medical School
in 1895. For some time he was assistant
physician in hospital at Tewksbury,
Mass, and then opened an Office at
Billerica, where he soon acquired a
large practice, and rose rapidly in the
esteem of his professional brethren and
of the people as skillful and conscienti.
GUS physician. On July 7, 1892, he was
married to Mildred Edith Patterson, of
Scion, a graduate of Arson Academy in
the class of 1891. His widow and two
children survive him. Many pitying
hearts grieve with her in her great sor.
row.
AS teacher, DR.. Manson was one OF
the best, and Arson Academy flourished
under his able and faithful administers
ton. AS physician he was careful and
studious, and thoroughly enjoyed his
profession. He was ambitious to dc
good as we'll as to attain professional
eminence. He was certainly gentle.

those who knew him best he was near

memory of him forevermore. S.

MILLIONS OF BOGUS SILVER
DOLLARS ARE NOW IN CIRCULA-
TION.
During the past two weeks the at
tention OF the business men OF the
country has been attracted to the un-
usually large number OF counterfeit
silver dollars made Of silver that are
in circulation. The counterfeits are
such remarkably close limitations OF the
genuine coin that it is almost impos-
sible to detect them, and even govern
ment experts are frequently at a loss
TO choose between the false and the
genuine. At the mint It is stated that
the situation is so serious that the
Treasury has made il the subject OF a
communication to Congress, regarding
the propriety of adopting a new de-
vice for the coin. 1t Is estimated that
there are fully two million dollars
worth of these spurious coins In clrcu-
lation in the country. All that have
been found bear the mark OF the New
Orleans mint, a lower case 20" imme-
diately under the eagle, and are dated
1898. The government is making every
effort to detect the men engaged IN the
business. 1t Is believed that the coins
are made somewhere In the South.
