Colebrook, n. H., Dec. 29.-Cashler
Harry Il. Bailey of the Colebrook Ma
tional Bank WAS arrested early last
evening by United States Deputy Mar
shal Horner, for alleged violation OF
the banking laws.
A recent examination of the banks
books by Commissioner Carroll of Con-
cord showed an apparent shortage or
S34 15O, caused by oyerdrafts which are
distributed among ten depositors VINO
have done business with the bank Tor
the past few years.
The amount of the overdraftS was
kept on a third book, and President
George Van Dyke and the other ONO
ials of the bank were not aware that
credit was being So extensively ac-
corded To a portion of the depositors,
the alleged Irregularities extending
over period of nearly three years.
The bank which is the only national
institution I'm the town, is according 10
President Van Dyke perfectly solvent.
The patrons will receive every dollar
of their deposits, he says, ana the bank
will continue TO do business after the
irregularities are Strengthened out.
A portion OF the shortage has been
made good. and it is believed n large
amount will be liquidated tomorrow,
While IL would not De SuTpflSlnB< u tHe
third book account Will be balanced
within n few days.
Cashier Bailey is not charged with
the embezzlement of the banks funds.
but his arrest is made for a violation
OF the banking laws i'm allowing de-
positors To overdraw their accounts.
The Colebrook National Bank was
organized i'm 1889. with a capital of sI5,-
600. the president being George Van
Dyke. one OF the best known lumber
men i'm New England. with Harry r..
Bailey as cashier. When the bank
commenced business the deposits
amounted TO $4,000. The latest state
ments made to the government showed
an overdraft of $500. or over ten per-
cent of the capital. In 1893 the over
draft amounted 10 s1S3. and has been
gradually increasing since that time.
Cashier Bailey is about 30 years or
age, and has wife and two children,
the entire family being held i'm high
esteem by the citizens OF Colebrook and
neighboring towns.
The announcement OF the alleged ir-
regularities was "A terrible blow to Mr..
Baileys family and friends. who are
confident the depositors will not lose at
the hands of the cashier or any officials
of the bank.

court subject to censure in that it's
ruling is somewhat nullifed-so long
will the humane principles of reform
be lost.
Now 1 do not wish my statements
taken in censorious light-far from
it. My intention is but to point out
objections as observed by myself, and
other inmates.
Recurring-does anyone contend that
the limit as per statutes is not suffi-
GENTLY severe for the particular crime? :?
None. Does anyone contend that the
present statutory provisions bar pris-
oner from being released before the
expiration of original sentence, if au.
thorities see fit? None. And last-on
a prisoner being sentenced for a par
ticular crime; under what rule of juris-
prudence-by what sense of Justice
can he be also punished for alleged
crimes, without trial?
Let us hope that the human rights
of person be not discounted and sub
jected to the whim or prejudices of
regal Board, from which there can be
no appeal-the facts also showing that
by the induction they could only &C.
complish outside of present latitude,
the unjustness of Furnishing for crimes
unfounded in fact. The pretence vir-
tually being to aid in securing the dis
charge of prisoner on reformation; why
can't that be accomplished now, and
where does the whole difficulty hinge?
Surely not in statutory provisions,

Special Correspondence to The Mirror.
WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Holiday season in Washington.
is characterized this year, as always,
by the gloom that settles over the Cap
;tOl by reason of the absence from the
city of the great majority of those who
are the leaders in fashionable and in
governmental circles. No doubt to
many it is very welcome respite
from the social duties so incumbent
and yet so Onerous to the leaders of
society
Just prior to his departure for his
western home, senator, who in the
past has been noted for the accuracy
with which he foretells coming events,
and who has been credited with know
ing somewhat whereof he prognosti-
Gates, gave your correspondent an in
terview, in which he outlined the cam
paign of 1900
Said he: eyes, Mckinley will be our
next president; but he will not be elec-
ted oy the republican party. The Span
ish American war has done more to
eleminate party lines, than would at
first appear. There is now dawning an
era of good feeling before which, par
ties and party leaders cannot hope to
stand The participants in this good
feeling are anxious to get together on
common ground, on one platform.
This platform will be an Endorsement
of the Mckinley administration and of
the policies to be launched as regards
our territorial acquisitions. McKin-
ley's visit to the Atlanta Jubilee was
the crowning act that made this schem Q
possible. The first gun of the cam
paign was fired by the Georgia Legis-
lature, when it passed resolutions ap-
proving the administration of William
Mckinley.
There are few disgruntled ones,
small Americans, Calamity howlers,
who will range themselves on the oppo-
site side as matter of course. Under
what banner they will march or who
will lead them is of little moment.
The most significant event possibly, in
this connection will be the nomination
and election of Admiral George Dewey
as Vice-President."
AS said, this senator has his finger
on the nations pulse and it would not
be surprising if the program, as here
outlined by him, should be carried
out.

HUNTING FOR WORK.

Most men when they get out of the
penitentiary, 60 hunting for work. A
little bit of experience in that line may
be interesting.
l reached Phelps in the middle of the
night, and while waiting for the south
bound train took cup of coffee and
a sandwich. The eyes OF the Dutch
man who keeps the stand were looking
me over carefully as L ate, and present
ly he asked:
"You got that cane in the pen:"
1 was carrying very pretty walking
cane that one of the boys had given me
as a parting present, and 1 owned up
meekly that it came from the pen.
The next question was rather start
ling:
"HOw long did you serve?"
l made him repeat the question, and
then told him had put in Is years for
killing Dutchman, who wanted to
know too much, and it was possible
l might have to serve another Is years
for similar Offense. He took it good
humoredly, and didn't ask any more
questions.
After getting to Houston, 1 started
to look for work, and at first it is not
unpleasant to 60 around and meet peo.
pie who receive you very kindly, and
are willing to discuss religion or poll
tics or the Eastern question with you,
but after day or two one begins to
tire of that perpetual observation:
"There's not a thing that 1 know of;
of course if anything turns up I will
let you know, but business is very
dull, etc."
You will meet the enthusiastic man,
who gives you tremendous welcome,
and, when you begin to talk about bus
mess, is perfectly sure you will have
no difficulty, no difficulty at all, sir, in
finding position, and he will tell you
all about the people you ought to see
and how to address them, give you nice
little, interesting anecdotes about most
of them, from which you gather that
they are all great philanthropists, who
are just dying to employ you at big
salary; but after all it is merely wind.
You could have got the names just as
we'll out of a city directory, and in
much less time. You have wasted
half day in punching ,windbag, and
some of the gas has escaped, and that
is all.
Another style of man is the one who
always knows of a position in the line

Mr.. Geo. F. Wells of Backbone sends
us the following, which has appeared
before in these columns, but it is good
enough for repeater.
The Rams Horn says that certain
minister took leave of his congregation
in the following words:
brothers and sisters, come to say
goodbye. 1 don't think God loves this
church very much, because none of
you ever die. I don't think you love
each other much, because never mar
ry any of you. Idon't think you love me
because you have not paid my salary;
and your donations are mostly fruit
and wormy apples, and by their fruits
ye shall know them. Brothers, I am
going away from you to better place.
1 have been called to be chaplain of a
penitentiary. Where 60 ye cannot
come now, but I 60 to prepare a place
for you, and may the Lord have mercy
on your souls. Amen"
The above congregation was some
what different from one 1 heard of not
long nince. They circulated petition
to have their minister appointed chap
lain of a penitentiary, probably on
the supposition that he would thus be
able to make it little easier for them
selves when they should get there.

In the gardens of the Geological So

the cage of the hyenas, while the man
was commenting upon the habits of
the beast for the benefit of the woman
who hung on his arm. "Bill," she ex-
claimed, "what ave these ERE to do with

"Why, naught, you silly" responded
Bill unpolitely. "They ave." she re-
turned triumphantly. "When couple

A Message.
Immortal soul. in garb of clay,
Go now, while go you may.
And tell the world the message
That you were sent to say.
Tell those who dwell in state and pride,
They shine like rotten wood;
Tell those who rear the lOfriest spire
Their goodness is not good.
Tell those who cry fol- law and right
That greed their motive mars;
Tell those of human liberty
That slaves have fought their wars.
Tell him who loves where beauty dwels
That he is ruled by lust;
Tell lher who plays with human hearts
Her charms will soon be dust
Tell those who rear the prisons
For other men to lie
That with the measure that they mete
Shall they be measured by.
Tell all who suffer and who sigh
That for each tear they shed.
There shall be sweetest music sung
And joyful tidings said.

A Fragment.

took from nook in my desk last night,
Your letters, dear friend, and read;
There sympathy thrilled in the waning light
Though said, "my heart is dead"
Yet tears came back to MY world-worn eyes
AS thought of fragrant June,
And lovers who sang "Love never grows old'
AS they sailed meath the light of the moon i.
For the white wings of love come and they
go.
And drift to a glorious dawn.
Where memory comes with exultant flow
whispering ''TiS true as ever it was know
That true love flows on andOn."
But friendship may withdraw the bar
Then O'er your life may CLEAN afar
The pure rays of your guiding Star.

The Rough-Rider's Return.

he Rough Hlders Return.
A patient form by the lamplight sits.
In room that's cold and bare;
And it heedeth not the changing chimes
Of the bells on the cold night air.
There's mothers head that is bending low
As the needle plies its part,
And there comes roar from the street below,
Like the throb of the great worlds heart.
Stitch! Stitch! Forward and back,
The foot on the rocker swings.
f'Hushabye baby, mother is near
Softly the sad voice sings.
The room grows chill, and the light burns dim.
And the lullaby song sinks low;
In the shadowy light to the mothers heart,
Speaks a voice of long ago:
''Be brave dear heart, It'll the Summers gone
And the Spanish war is DER
And then again with the Yuletide.
I'll return to my love once more.
Though far away in land that's strange.
Know darling, that even then
My hearts with my wife and children three,
Though ride with Teddy's men,"
Now hope was dead in the mothers heart
Though She stitched so patiently;
For Christmas was come, and her soldier boy,
Came not to his children three.
But faith grew large with the lack of bread;
For Bobby and Toots and May,
All knew that Santa would come and make
1t right on the Christmas day
Gently she putteth down her work,
And softly the footsteps tread,
Till the mother stands in the darkening room,
At the side of her chldren's bed.
And over there by the fireless hearth,
Were the little socks in row:
All empty, and worn with childish feet.
And mute with voiceless woe.
As the mother bends DER her children's bed,
And the pain in her heart rose up,
There fell on the face of the sleeping child.
A tear from the O'er-full cup.
Bobby's eyes opened wide, and then
AS the tearwet face drew nigh,
Two chubby arms stole round her neck
And a voice said "DOn't 90 XII
When Santa Claus tums I'll talk to him.
An tell him 90 is so doOd.
AT when 90 pankS us it don't hurt,
TuZ OO'd tiSS us if 90 tOOd.
An 'en know he'll bring 90 sings:
A doll at does to sleep;
A drum and horn and candy mice,
An a book wiv Little Bopeep."
Again, as she listened to her child,
The mother ''pasSed under the Rod
Then BObby's voice grew very faint,
And he entered the land of Nod
The tired fingers piled their work,
And patiently wrOgght on;
There was none to help, for her husband fell
fighting at San Juan.
But hark! A step on the distant stair!
Oh futtering heart be still!
1t draweth near! 1t is no dream!
1t stops at her own dOOr-sill.
With cry of joy the mother springs,
And thrOweth wide the door;
And nestles close like mated bird,
In her husbands arms once more.
Ring out, ring out ye Christmas bells;
And swift on the night winds ride!
Tell all the world of a broken home
Made whole at Yuletide.
The Ginning bells ring in their hearts
And the jOy-drops fill their eyes;
Their feet are on their own hearth-rug.
But their hearts are in the skies.
