SKIPPED WITH $500.
But the Forger Was Arrested in Port.
land.

Yesterday morning there arrived from
Montreal detective by the name OF La
monche and he Immediately put hlmselr
in communication with Marshal Syi'
vester. According to the detectives story
man named Joseph Lerow was en-
ployed as book-keeper for large business
firm in Montreal whose name the Marsnai
could not recall. This firm had large
sum OF money in the bank, and on Mon
day the book-keeper-who had secured
several of the firms checks-1lled out one
for 5000, forged the firms signature and
cashed the check at the bank.
1t happened that only a short time
thereafter....that one of the firm went to
the bank to draw quite sum, and the
cashier called attention to the check
drawn by Lerow The merchant secured
the services of Lamonche, who ascertained
that Lerow had left town. Suspecting
he might have come to Portland the de-
tective took the first train to this city.
Marshal Sylvester detailed Inspector
Fickett to assist the detective and they
found their man and arrested him. In
the lining Of one of his shoes was found
$500. The detective took the money and
went back to Canada and didn't attempt
to extradite Mr.. Lerow.

Lieut.. Fred H. Pullsn. o. S. ~, Of
Dover. Me-, arrived in Bangor Monday
afternoon for a brief visit with relatives
in Maine. He is junior lieutenant of the
U. S. S. Resolute, Commander W. b.
Eaton, which took an active part In the
operations Of the West India squadron
and which has just returned from Cuba,
bringing Spanish prisoners and full de-
tachment of q. S. marines who made the
first landing in Cuba under Lieut.. Col
Huntington.
Lieut.. Pullen has been following the
sea for years and at the outbreak OF the
war with Spain was second officer Of the
steamer Resolute, then belonging to the
Dominion line. He was one OF the
earliest of the volunteer appointments
being recommended by Commander
Eaton and Congressman Boutelle, who
very cheerfully became personal sponsor
for Lieut.. PuIlen's character and ability
in seamanship, which were fully Wind l.
Gated during his service.
The Resolute is a vessel of excellent
speed and rendered special service In the
transporta tion Of munitions Of war and
took creditable part in number OF
sharp engagements on the Cuban coast.
She was present at the time Of the de-
struction of Admiral Cervera's fleet of
Santiago, being laden with submarine
mines and An enormous quantity OF gun
cotton and other explosives, and while
carrying dispatches to Admiral Sampson.
who was steaming from the westward on
the flagship New York to take part in the
fight, the Resolute was obliged to pass
through the fire from the ships and forts.
Although IA number of shells passed close
ly over her, she was fortunate enough to
escape being struck.
Lieut.. Pullen gives most interesting
account of the scenes during the naval
battle off Santiago of which he was an
eye witness, and he speaks with great en-
thusiasm of the magnificent performance
of our warships in that memorable action.
The Resolute has steamed 13, 600 miles
in active service since the outbreak of the
war without delay for repairs, and is now
under orders to take Admiral Sampson
and his associate commissioners on the
evacuation of Cuba to Havana.
.. The lieutenant will spend but one or
two days in the state, as he must rejoin
his ship at once for the next trip to Cuba.
His officers speak in high terms of his
faithfulness and efficiency.

TRAINING OF FIReMEN.
All Are Athletes, and No towards Car
Get Into the Department

Ja.nt A. Riis writes of "Heroes Who
Fight Fire" in The Century. The article
Is one of the series on Heroes of Peace. {"
Mr.. Riis says:
Firemen are athletes as a matter of
course They have to be, or they could not
hold their places for aweek, even II they
could get into them at all. The mere
handling of the scaling ladders which,
light though they seem, weigh from 10 to
10 pounds, requires v q Sual strength. No
particular skill is needed. A man need
only have steady nerve and the strength
TO raise the long pole by it's narrow end
and jam the iron hook through a window
which he cannot see but knows is there.
Once through, the teeth in the hook and
the mans weight upon the ladder hold it
safe, and there is noSeal danger unless he
loses his head Against that possibility
the severe drill in the school of instruction
Is the barrier. Any one to whom climbing
at dizzy heights or doing the hundred and
one things of peril to ordinary mon which
firemen are constantly called upon to do
causes the least discomfort Is rejected as
unfit. About 3 per cent of all appointces
are eliminated by the ladder test and new
or get beyond their probation service.
certain smaller percentage takes itself out
through loss of NERVE" generally. The
first experience of room full OF smother
ing smoke, with the fire roaring overhead,
is generally sufficient TO convince the timid
that the service is not for him. No cow
ards are dismissed from the department,
for the reason that none get into it.
The notion that there is n life saving
corps apart from the general body of fire
men rests upon mistake. They are one.
Every fireman nowadays must pass muster
at life saving drill, must climb TO the top
Of any building on his scaling ladder,
slide down with q rescued comrade or
jump without hesitation from the third
story into the life net spread below BY
such training the men are fitted for their
work, and the occasion comes soon that
puts them to the test. 1t came to Daniel
j. Meagher, foreman of Hook and Ladder
company No. SNSvhen in the midnight
hour woman hung from the fifth story
window of burning building, and the
longest ladder at hand fell short ten or a
dozen feet of reaching her The boldest
man in the crew had yainly attempted to
reach her and in the effort had sprained
his foot. There were no scaling ladders
