the list for a pOlltaX: however il can
be said that few out-of-toWners are
more welcome than he. Mr.. Cornish
generally puts up at the Bangor House
because he meets Other lawyers and
members of the court there.
Mr.. Cornish is still in the class of dis
tinctly young men. 1t seems likely
that he, after the manner of Gen. o. ID.
Baker and some few others. will see fit
TO remain in that class for good
many years more. But ii is plain that
his law business is taking him ahead
rapidly into fields where only few
men can stay on their feet in the rush

For instance, Mr.. Cornish was one of

ESCAPES FROM An OFFICER.
George Dryden UnceremoniousIy Leaves Elec.
trio Car and Officer Andrews.

An exciting little affair happened
Tuesday forenoon, as the Electric car
reached Capitol street about 1920
O'Clock. when George Dryden, a pris-
oner in charge of Deputy Marshal An
drews of Gardiner, escaped, pursued
by the officer. Dryden is the young
man of shady reputation who was cap
tured by the Lynn police and brought
TO Gardiner, Monday. to answer 10 the
charge of larceny. He was taken be-
fore the municipal court of Gardiner,
Tuesday morning, and ordered COM
mitted TO Jail to await the action of
the next term of the grand jury. On
the way up from Gardiner in the Elec-
trio. he sat not far from the deputy
marshal. When the car stopped at
Capitol street to allow a passenger to
alight, he made a break for liberty
passing the officer and leaping from the
rear platform. AS he jumped Conduc
tor Philbrook and a commercial travel
Ter attempted to catch him, and the
travelling man succeeded so well that
he lost a finger nail, through its catch
ing in Dryden's clothes.
Deputy Andrews gave chase and
there was a lively sprinting match
down Capitol street toward the rail-
road track and the river. The inter-
| ested spectators thought at one time
that officer Andrews was about to
shoot the man as he drew a revolver.
| but he did not fire. AS they disappear
ed over the high bank toward the rail-
| road track, it was seen that the eS-
capped prisoner was ahead of the officer
and was gaining.
As soon as the car reached the city,
| the police We're notified and Deputy
! Marshal Grover went down the track
| to assist in the capture. The man
| eluded Mr.. Andrews 50 that they did
not again see him, though they hunted
/ for several hours.
The description which City Marshal
| Drake of Gardiner, gives of Dryden
is as follows: About Is years of age:
feet. 4 inches tall. light compieXioned
| waVy hair. brown suit, small cap that
| he wears on the back of his head. tan
shoes, red plaid necktie, and striped
cambria shirt.
! Dryden was heard from on the river
road To Waterville, near riverside. and
the officers were only 20 minutes be
hind him at ) o'clock. He. however
kept on his way and had not been cap
tured when the Journal went to press

by the officers but no trace of him wa!

attorney for State, F. J. c. Little for
defendant. Indictment for an assault
and battery upon Geo. \. Johnson of
Gardiner. Johnson is an overseer of
the poor in that city, and Campbell
was town charge. Campbell desired
the complainant to furnish him with
some medicine called Swamp Root for
an illness with which he was afflicted.
and Johnson furnished two bottles at
80 cents each which the patient used in
just six days. and called on for more.
which was refused unless prescribed by
the city physician. Campbell insisted
upon having the Swamp Root and went
into Johnson's office and refused to
leave until he received it. When the
complainant went toward him for the
purpose of leading him out Campbell
made an attack, put Johnson on the
floor and severely beat him.
This is the claim of the government
Campbell admits the governments case
up to the time of the assault. He ad-
mits that he went to Johnsons office
determined to stay until he received
his medicine. but claims that Johnson
made a violent assault upon him. and
ALL he did to Johnson was in self de-
fence. Verdict guilty.

STATE HOUSE.
The New Scholar Conveyance Law
Went Into Effect Tuesday.
An Interesting Letter from a Game Warden
Other Capitol Gossip.

The law in regard to the conveyance OF
school children enacted by the last
Legislature, went into effect, Tuesday,
April II. Hereafter it is clear as to
whom the right of settling whether a
child shall be carried to and from school
is decided
The law Of 1895 in regard to this State
that where schools were discontinued the
children should have conveyance TO and
from the schoolhouses. This was amend
ed so that in 1897 all schools of less than
eiphr scholars were discontinued and the
scholars conveyed. 1t also stated tnat II
If was deemed advisable for the convey
ance of the pupils it should be done, but
failed 10 state who should be the ones
10 determine the need of conveyance.
The superintendent Of schools ruled
that If was the school committee of the
town who decided as to the need, but III
one case where Il family Went To court
about IL. the ruling of the department
was defeated.
The gist of the new law is that the
experimenting school committee is the
body that decides who shall be carried
ana who shall not. at the expense of the
town 1t also gives the body the right To
board child near the schoolhouse IN
case the expense would be the same, or
less. than the conveyance each dar
would amount.

GOVERNMENT COMPETITORS.
What is Done With the Unused Printed Postal
Cards Of Business Men.

There are half-a-doZen men in New
York who undersell the United States
government in respect TO postal cards"
said a post office official "These men
sell four or five million one-cent postal
cards annually at an average price Of
nine-tenths of a cent apiece. One-tenth
of a cent less than the official price, not-
withstandins that the cards cost them
nearly half cent. at least two-sevenths
of a cent, and only cost the government
twenty-four cents a thousand.
THE competitors of the government
are men who buy cards upon which an
address or advertising matter has been
printed. and erase or obliterate the print.
ing without Illegally changing the card.
They purchase the printed cards In
small and large Quantities from all
sources When two firms. consolidate,
the postal cards addressed and printed
belonging to each firm are useless. A
firm changing the location Of its shop
and desiring TO inform its patrons Of the
change usually overestmates the number
of postal cards needed. A manufacture
in large way, who sends out hundreds
of thousands of cards every year, often
decides that the printed matter on y
batch of cards is not satisfactory, and
may have hundred thousand useless
cards on its hands. The postoffice will
not take them back with money refund
ed, and will not issue other cards in cx-
change for them. These cards arc
bought at a cost Of from one-fifth to one
quarter of cent each. The dealer eth
