Funeral of Mrs. Leon o. Irish.
NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED FRIENDS AT
TENDED THE SERVICE AT HARTFORD.

At Atheneum Hall, Hartford Center,
on Sunday, the 4th inst. occurred the
funeral services of Lizzie Stanwood, wife
of Leon o. Irish. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. W. W. Hooper of Deer
ing and were very appropriate and I'M
pressive. Musical selections were finely
rendered by local quartette from Rum
ford Falls, consisting of Fred Parsons
and wife, +. o. Walker and wife, with
Mr.. Rolfe, organist. The Rebekah
lodges, 1. o. o. F., of Rumford Falls and
Canton, and the Order of ForeSters, OF
which the deceased had been member,
were largely represented.
The managers of the Portland and
Rumford Falls Railway generously
placed a special train at the disposal of
those desiring to attend, and about 14O
from Rumford Falls and a goodly num-
Der from Canton availed themselves of
this unusual courtesy.
Had we list and space to insert the
names of those who furnished the many
beautiful floral tributes, it would be
pleasure to do so. Suffice it to say that
for richness, beauty and profuSion, they
were never equalled in this vicinity. We
will not attempt to discriminate where
all were so fine and so tastefully ar
ranged.
Brother Hooper in a few we'll chosen
words full of sympathy and love alluded
to the life and esteem of the deceased
and the emblems of respect shown. The
service throughout was interesting and
deeply impressive. 1t is estimated that
nearly 800 people were in attendance, as
the town hall also had to be opened to
accommodate the overflow.
Mrs. Irish was the daughter of DR.. A.
L. Stanwood of Rumford Falls, and the
bereaved husband is the son of Orlando
Irish of Hartford The hitherto happy
couple were united in marriage some
over one year ago, and had bright pros
poets before them, and had a fine we'll
furnished home and everything to make
life pleasant. An infant child is left I'M
conscious of the fond mother that gave
her life. Mr.. Irish and the afflicted
relatives have the deep sympathy of a
host of friends. The deceased was near
~ 81 years of age. The burial was at
Canton.

Small M, !. RACING IN northern Main.

Small pox is raging in northern Maine
at present to a greater extent than in
years. The disease exists principally
near the Canadian border and most OF
the infected persons are French Cana
dams. 1t has been brought over the line
from New Brunswick where, in many
places, absolutely nothing is being done
to check its ravages. Guards have been
stationed at Allegash and various points
along the border and strict quarantine
has been established. The utmost care
must be taken to prevent the disease
spreading all through that section and
DR.. Nichols and the state board are doing
everything possible to check it.

married. as follows:

liabilities in excess of resources, =

liabilities In excess of resources s29,6sa q
The balance thus shown against the
county is S2,045.00 larger than a year
ago. This is due to the fact that during
the year it became necessary to put in
the additional tier of cells in the Jail,
which was done at a cost of S5,047.59,
showing that the income of the county
has been larger than the ordinary ex-
penditures by almost exactly $1,000.
The jailer's report shows that there
were in Dec. 81, 1902, Is prisoners, as
against 20 year before. The number
committed to Jail for the year was 1919,
of whom l2S were males. Fifty-seven
were committed for drunkenness, and
b for selling liquor. Fifty-seven
were sentenced to one month or less,
and only one was sentenced to state
prison.

Break Roads for r. F. D. Carriers

A circular recently issued by the post
office department, and posted in all post
offices which have rural free delivery
routes, reads as follows:
The department looks to those who are
receiving the benefits of the service to
use their personal endeavors and to exert
their influence with officials responsible
for the condition of the highways to the
end that the roads travelled by rural car
riers may always be kept open and in
such passable shape that the service can
be regularly and punctually performed.
Should the regularity of the service be
needlessly destroyed as result of lack
of care of the highways the permanent
withdrawal of the service will very likely
result.
Rural carriers are required to serve
their routes regularly at all seasons of
the year and in all kinds of weather when
it can be done without unnecessarily i'm
periling their lives or endangering their
conyeyances or the U. 5. mail in their
custody.
Patrons should clear away the snow
drifts so that carriers can drive up to and
reach the boxes without dismounting
from their vehicles.
1t is not part of the carriers duty to
break out the roads after severe snow
storm.
Rural carriers are expected to eher-
getically try to serve their routes even
under extremely adverse conditions, and
any undue lack of zeal should be report
ed to the department.
According to the Boston Post, Silas
Manson of Houlton recently beat couple
of green goods swindlers to the tune of
$500. The story, which has something OF
| n sound as if the writer was romancing,
| is that Manson received a circular from
flames Bickwell and j. K. Stonequale,'
New York, offering $4,000 worth OF
money that could not be told from the
genuine. for % cents on the dollar. He
arranged a meeting at Boston hotel
and came from Houlton with $500 in
good money. Bickwell and Stonequale
were also on hand. They had two valiseS
one of which held $4,000 in real money.
The other contained $4,000 in counter
felt money. When Manson appeared
they showed him the real stuff. He ex'
amined it closely, and finding it to be &C
ceptable, he assured the two sharps that
it was all right, laid down his $500 and
closed the deal. Bickwell and Stone
quale, however, protested. They as
serted that they wished to count the
money. They were looking after
Manson's interests, they declared, and &C
cordingly would not have their frieno
get the worst of any scheme. Manson
however, assured them that everything
was correct Manson, who is a powerful
man, was obliged to use force and afte
knocking the men down, escaped will
the $4,000. He afterwards related TIT
adventure to post Office Inspector ant
