MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
Girl from Greenfield Attempted Suicide
in New York.

Miss Adella Cram, 1S, attempted suicide
Tuesday night in the Grand Union hotel in
New York city. The night Waterman
smelled gas in the corridor and when her
door was broken open, the girl was found
lying unconscious upon the bed with the
gas turned on full head and the windows
tightly closed. She was taken to Bellevue
hospital, where her condition is still re-
garded as serious. Miss Cram left her
home some time ago to work in New York
city, and while there formed an acquaint-
ance with a man calling himself Benjamin
Bennett. She came home early in October
and expected to be married there October
%. Two days before that time a letter
came from Bennett saying that he must go
to hospital for a serious operation, and on
the day set for the wedding she received a
letter from one of Benefits friends stating
that Bennett had died in the hospital, and
a copy Of the New York World was also
sent her containing a notice of Benefits
death. The girl believed the story and in
sisted on going to New York to try to find
Benefits mother. On Saturday her aunt
received a letter from the girl saying, II
will be with him. / cannot live with
out him. When you get this letter l
shall be dead" Bennett was an assumed
name, the real name of the man who made
love to the girl and then deserted her being
Bonford Boniface. He has recently lost
his situation in New York, but is living
there with his aged mother.
limitations of a romantic sequel in the
attempted suicide case were given to the
newspapers yesterday to Ithe effect that
Bennett, or Boniface, was ready to marry
Miss Cram upon her recovery, which now
seems probable, and that the story prom
ises to end in the old, old way with an OPP
portunity of living happily for ever after
ward. It seems that the young man was
not as blamable in the matter as first ap-
peared, but that both he and Miss Cram
were the victims of joke played by one
Of Bonifaces friends.

Electric Road Discussion at Northn.Id,

Electric Road Discussion at NOrthneld.
The second meeting of the Mortified
Literary union was held Friday night.
The meeting was opened by music by Miss
Daisy Holton which was followed by song
by Robert Snow. After humorous Irish
sketch by Joe Field there was a quite
heated debate on the Electric Road, -
whether it should come to Mortified, and
il it did, where it should come and where
it should go. After quite able discussions
by Superintendent Warren, 7. r. Callen-
der, F. Doane and talk from the presi-
dent, Murray Ware, and several others, it
was found that almost everybody wanted
the electric road TO come to Mortified.
The house was rather divided as to where
it should come from and where it should
go, a number wanting it to come from Mil
lers Falls while others wanted it from
Greenfield. Some thought it might go up
to the Auditorium in East Mortified, and
there stop, while others thought it should
go through Hinsdale on to Brattleboro.

The Return of the Mackerel Seems to be
Assured.
THE fishing industry of NJ aine is in d
prosperous condition now," said Hon.
o. B. Whitten ex-commissioner of sea
and shore fisheries, to the Portland
Press recently. ''Of course it is not uI
to what it was in the flush times of the
mackerel and the Grand Banks fisheries
twenty years ago; but for all that it is
very good"
Mr.. Written does not think there will
be much agitation over fishery questions
in the legislature this winter, because
the lobster question, which has been
productive of conflict, seems to have
been settled. The law abolishing all
close time and fixing a minimum length
of ten and a half inches is generally
satisfactory. Some of the fishermen,
it is true are agitating little for a
close time: but III general the law is
satisfactory. The fish dealers, who are
very influential, dc not want a close
time, as it compels them to discontinue
their business for a portion of the year,
and thus interferes with profits and
with economy Of management. In
other years the Gamers OF Holsters have
had great influence, and have started
frequent agitations. But the law now
dlscourages the canning of Holsters in
Maine. and that industry is probably
broken up here The principal canning
Is now done i'll the Provinces and it is
thought that 1t will soon be diminished
or wholly interdicted there.

come to the legis !ature this winter for
a law to regulate the business. An I'M

about two millions OF dollars and the
product has a reputation that is world

the packers do not use the best OIL. do
not Gull the fish property and put too
few III d box. Ii is hoped by legislation
to regulate this, so that the reputation
OF the Maine sardines may be kept at
its present high position
Mr.. Written says that when the
mackerel and Grand Banks fishing fail
ed, the Portland men in the business
gradually became discouraged and dis
posed of their vessels and their outfits.
But the Grand Banks fishing revived
after time and is now profitable in
dustry. The mackerel business has
been fiat for many years: but this year
it has been excellent Some Gloucester
vessels have stocked twenty-five thous-
and dollars, and the idea is pervading
the fishing world that the mackerel are
coming back for reasons as mysterious
as We're those that prompted their de
parture. 1t is thought that next season
there will be several Portland vessels
in the mackerel fleet, and Mr.. Horace
NJ. Sargent is spoken of as one of the
enterprising veterans who is likely to
fit out one or two vessels. 1t is thought
that others may be fitted out in Port
land, being built very likely in Bath
during the winter.

Mckinley on American Shipping.

The Marine journal is several re-
moves from political journal, but we
are deeply interested in what political
parties propose to do with reference to
maritime interests. On this subject
MI. Mckinley in his letter of accept
ance shows keen appreciation of the
needs of American shipping. He says:
"Ninety-one per cent. of our exports
and imports are now carried by foreign
ships. For ocean transportation we
pay annually to foreign shipowners
over $685. 100000. We ought to own
the ships for our carrying trade with
the world and we ought to build them
in American shipyards and man them
with American sailors. Our own citi-
zens should receive the transportation
charges now paid to foreigners"
President Mckinley has spoken to
the same effect in two messages to
Congress and it is now up to that body.
What Mr.. Bryan has said SO far on this
subject may be thus graphically set
forth:

The Man Who Calls You Down.

He has a most annoying way so quiet, yet
He listens all Serenely to the things you're
telling him:
He seems so interested and so thoroughly
Impressed
That before YOU know what's happened you
are swelling out your chest
And piling up small tictions with more flu
ency than art,
Because you think he's easy and imagine
You are smart.
And he bends his head to hear you, and his
forehead shows no frown:
He let's you tell your story out-and then he
calls you down.
1t makes him happy when you undertake to
fix a date.
He quotes the books verbatim as he blandly
sets you straight,
And when you say, ''I'll bet you fifty dol
lars he will let
His eyebrows droop little and remark, 81
take the bet. u
And when you tell that story which in in
fancy You knew,
He smiles and gives its origin and author
when you'll re through,
He politely brings cold water all your AFRO
gance to drown,
He's diabolic terror, is this man who calls
you down.
SO friends, if you should meet him, have a
care and pass him by,
Nor suffer him to fool you with his soft and
kindly eye;
Nor heed the sweet expression of his guile
less, open face,
Nor listen to the cadence of his voices soul
full grace.
He is lurking to ensnare you, for his only
JOY in life
is to cut your thread of vanity with satire
like knife.

For he makes our lives burden, does this
man who calls you down.

Bryan's Insincerity.

The insincerity of politics is amusing.
w. J. Bryan is now pleading for harmo-
ny: for votes. In 1896, he said of those
Democrats who would not accept free
silver: "They are branded as traitors;
they shall not come back" The Popu-
list party was originally made up of
farmers: Kansas people can remember
when the Populists refused to nominate
lawyers for judges, and when farmers
were actually elected as judges of dis
tricts. Now the Populist party is run
by lawyers and professional politicians,
the chief being w. ]. Bryan, who never
did days work in his life. lAtchison
