Odd Combinations of Names.

There have been some very amusing
and odd combinations of names among
the train crews running out of Portland
recently. For some time in the freight
department, Conductor Buck has been
running with Engineer Harvey Il. Doe.
This was frequently commented upon,
but during Charlie Steele,s ABSENCE
from the passenger service Seward B..
Ham was running as conductor with
Engineer Joseph II. Bacon, which was
naturally considered to be rather a
warm combination. But the combl-
nation which was the most striking, un-
usual and laughable was reached when
the train pull led out with Conductor
Ham, Express Messenger Lapham and
Engineer Bacon in the tram crew.
That was certainly the limit, and no
body has since found anything to equal

THEY ROBBED CHURCHES.


We're Arrested and Jailed in Bangor.
BANGOR, Me-, Oct, Z. What is
thought to be an important capture was
made this afternoon in the arrest OF
negro who has, according to the story
of young boy who was with him, been
for some time Systematically robbing
the poor boxes in many churches
throughout New England.
The negro says that his name is Will
liam Dewitt and that he belongs IN
Troy, n. Y. Information which led to
his arrest was given by the boy, who
says his name is Charles Redman, and
that he formerly lived, in Stockton
Springs in this State.
Redman says that he went to Boston
with Dewitt. They formed something
like a partnership and, Redman says,
have ever since been travelling about
operated pretty much all over New Eng
land.
The boy says that he would watch
outside while the negro robbed the
boxes, sometimes opening them with
keys, and when this was not possible,
breaking them open.
He says that they struck Maine about
10 days ago, and had robbed poor boxes
in Portland, Yarmouth, Brunswick,
Lisbon, Lisbon Falls, Lewiston, Bath,
Pittsfield, Belfast, South Brewer, and
that in Bangor they had robbed the
boxes in st. Johns and st. Mary's
churches. The route was planned to
take in Bucksport and Bar Harbor.
The boy had evidently had some
trouble with the negro and caused his
arrest. The negro is about 40 years old
and rather we'll dressed. Redman says
that he is Is years old, and is small
for his age.
BANGOR, Me, Oct. s. William De-
Witt, alias William DeCosta (colored),
of Troy, n. Y, and Charles Redman,
aged 16, of Stockton Springs, Me-, who
were arrested by the police last night,
charged with ritling the offering boxes

The Local Paper as an Educator.

Superintendent of schools, MI Stetson,
contains the following tribute to the
local press:
"Current reading occupies a large,
perhaps too large a proportion OF the
average readers time. The local news
paper has just claim to be called an
educational institution. 1t makes re-
cord of local and current history, fosters
enterprises which seek to promote the
general welfare, and renders an amount
of unremunerated public service not
equalled by any other agency. 1t mas
