The directors Of the Great Northern
railway, Of England, have issued a cir
cular letter to the station agents stat
ing that in future the standard height
for porters in the passenger department
shall be five feet six inches, and in the

The Cherokee council at its re-
cent session passed a bill calling
for the investigation of the aud
itor's Office and accounts, as there
appeared to be gross Irregularities.
Previous to that date, as disburs-
ing officer Indian Agent Shoenfelt
advertised that the payment OF a
certain amount OF Cherokee war
rants would be made, beginning
January |, or as soon thereafter as
possible. But when the bill was
passed as above stated it dawned
that there might be repetition Of
the Creek warrant transaction, and
in view of this fact the agent has
wisely concluded to defer the pay
ment of warrants on the general
fund. He will pay warrants on
the school, insane and orphan
funds but none else. Due notice
of the time of payment of these
warrants will be given. -Musko-

SNAKES ON HIS ENGINE.
A Pennsylvania Englneer's Strange
Pets ON HIS Run Through
the Mountains.

G. L. Pownell an engineer on the
Tyrone division of the Pennsylvania
railroad, has been snake tanner and
fancier ever since he was boy, says a
Bellefonte (Pa.) correspondent Of the
New York World. For 20 years he has
been living in the Allegheny mountains,
which abound with rattlers, and ne has
had many Of them for pets.
Not only does Engineer Pownell car
ry his pet rattlers with him on his en-
gine in a box, but frequently turns
them loose in the cab or on the tender
to roam at will, and it is not an infre-
quent sight 10 see Pownell's engine 90
spinning by with rattlesnakes visible
over the top of the tank, their heads
hanging out of the cab, or to see them
snugly ensconced on the footboard of
The engine.
Arriving at his destination, Pownell
calmly picks up the snakes and puts
them securely in their box for the time
being. Not infreqpently he turns the
reptiles loose on the depot platforms
and plays with them for the amusement
0f large crowds.
Pownell handles The snakes as the
average man would handle a cat, and
With as little fear. The only time he an
bears to take any caution is in picking
lp the reptiles, never doing this when
hey are in col, as that is lie only time.

SERGEANT HEGYI DEAD.
The SOLITARY "sarrison of Fort Knox"
Has been Mustered Out.

The SOLITARY s.Garrtson OF Fort Knox"
Has been Mustered Out.
Leopold Hegyi, ordinance sergeant at
Fort Knox, Buckspori, died Tuesday
night Of last week, OF spoplexy.
Sergt. Hegyi was born in Hungary on
Feb. -, 1924, where the FIRST forty years
OF bis life was spent, and where at the
best schools I'm that country he received a
liberal education, thoroughly iittiug him
self for a military life which he entered
in 1sis, during the Hungarian revolution
under the great leader, Louis Kossuth,
where he won distinction for ability and
bravery.
At the close OF the war, in 1913. he en-
tered into business with a brother, re-
manning until 1855, when he retired from
the firm and with a considerable fortune
came to this country. As fortunes were
being made at that time from Pennsyl-
vsnia oil wells, he visited Oil City, invest
ing his entire fortune In real estate
speculstions and oil fields, and lost.
Determined not to return to his native
country with impaired finances, and with
the old love for a military life awakened,
he enlisted as q private In the United
states regular army, remaining . private
but three days, when a corporal commits
sion was given him, followed by rapid
advancement to the position OF ordinance
sergeant, " hich he filled with honor and
ability for nearly thirty years st different
posts in the middle and New England
states.
Eleven years ago, Sergeant Hegyi was
transferred from Portland Hsrbor to
Fort Knox, where he has since remained
in charge.
The sergeant had the respect and con-
fidence OF all. As a gentleman he was OF
the Old school; As friend and neig Dor
he never passed by on the other side; as q
soldier, had all been like him the famous

Besides q wife, who reached his bedside

For Representative.

AS the time draws near for the Els
worth republican caucus, at which a
candidate for representative to the
legislature is to be nominated, interest
in the event increases. Since our last
issue another candidate has been
prominently mentioned-Arno w.
King. Mr.. King is one of the leading
members of the Hancock bar. He
was a member of the firm of Wiswel,
King & Peters until Judge Wiswell
went on the bench. He is a native of
Lamoine, but has been identified with
Ellsworth and its interests for the
past eighteen or twenty years.
Although Mr.. King has never held
public Office, he has ever been fore
most in every movement in which
the welfare of the city has been in
volved. He has large business inter
ests outside of his profession, being
an active member of the Ellsworth
Lumber Co., the Union Shoe Manu-
featuring Co.. director Of the First
national bank, and president of the
Ellsworth loan and building associa-
ton. He was president of the Ellis
worth board of trade from its incep-
ton until its last annual meeting,
when he declined longer to serve.
Until four years ago Mr.. King was
identified with the democratic party,
though never an active partizan.
Organism, however, was more than he
could stand, and in 1896 he came out
strongly against the IS to plank.
During the memorable campaign of
that year he did splendid work, max

No Scuttle Policy.

Some good democratic friends have
been saying things about the term
used in the republican national plat
form where it declares that there shall
be ''no scuttle policy" in the Philip
pines. 'sWhat do you mean by 'scuttle
policy?'n asks one democratic paper.
"Who said anything about scuttling?n
asks another. "It's trick phrase"
declares a third.
To all of which the New York Sun
replies by giving little history of the
origin of the term and why it was used
in the platform.
THE scuttle policy" it says, twas
born on December Is, 1899, when the
Hon. Augustus Octavius Bacon, United
States Senator from Georgia, intro
duced his joint resolution declaring
that it was the intention of this gov
eminent TO relinquish the dominion
and control of the Philippines, and to
transfer to the Fiipinos the sover-
eighty acquired by US from Spain by
the treaty of Paris.
This proposition to scuttle was
CARRIED in high sounding periods, but
stripped of verbiage it was just plain
scuttle and nothing else. 1t never
came to a vote in the Senate, but it
did become the keynote Of Bryanite
policy on the Philippine question, and
it has remained SO up to date. Every
Bryanite argument for the abandon
ment of the Philippines, for the with
drawal of our flag from those islands
in one form or another says scuttle.'
To scuttle means to run precipi-
lately. The republican party declares
that it Will not run away from a plain
duty.

The Hon. Adlai Ewing Stevenson
rose to fame as decapitator OF re-
publican postmasters. The ''spoils-
men, swore by him. His first nomi-
nation for vice president was sort of
grim joke and spite against Mr.. Cleve-
land. The latter was the love of the
mugwump civil service reformers.
Mr.. Stevenson was their hate. He is
now nominated for vice. president by
men who detest Mr.. Cleveland and
yet want the remnants of the mug
wump vote. Mr.. Towne is q silver
republican dear to the populists. Mr..
Bryan is a good deal OF a populist him
self. The majority of the convention
desired a conservative" democrat.
Now MIR. Stevenson is not conserva-
tive but a radical as to the financial
question. The record of Mr.. Towne,
a republican until 1896, is better than
Mr.. Stevenson's in this respect. Mr..
Stevenson has been a greenbacker
and is strong silver man. The NOM
ination will tend to irritate the silver
republicans and populists. 1t is
another slap in the face for the gold
men. 1t will make even the blatant
anti-imperialists, who are civil service
reformers, little weary. In short, it
is not likely to attract anybody and 1t
will repel some.-N. y. Sun.
