SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER.
Stranger Accused of Several Petty RObber-
les and Is now in Jail.

On Tuesday morning William CLARK
opened his barber shop and went to-
breakfast. When he went back he
missed one of his razors and suspected
a strange man, who was there on his
return. The man acted rather suspic-
iously ana Mr.. Clark procured search
warrant and found the razor in the
mans grip which he had left in Con-
nor's saloon. He was arrested by
Officer Donovan and taken before
Justice Slugg, who fined him So and
costs.
In the meantime Mrs. Sheridan, at
whose home the man had room,
missed her gold watch and she, too,
suspected him and had a warrant for
his arrest. Being unable to get evil
dence against him, they released him,
but later the watch was found hidden
in Connor's kitchen cupboard. Officer
Donovan rearrested him, took him to
Woodbridge and locked him up for
the night. Yesterday he was taken
before Justice Slugg and given a,
hearing. He was found guilty and
sent to New Brunswick to be held
over for the grand jury.

A Power In Germanx

German chambers of commerce ex-
ert a powerful influence on legislation
in the empire. During the long prep
aration of the tariff bill which was
recently passed by the reichstag, these
bodies made their influence felt in
every part of the country. When a
German manufacturer desires to have
his interests considered in tariff leg
islation or commercial treaties, he
does not have recourse to the mem
ber of the reichstag from his district,
but to his chamber of commerce. The
government, in it's treatment of com
mercial questions, always obtains the
opinions of merchants and manufac-
turers through the medium of the
chambers of commerce.-N. Y. Sun.
