UNION TREASURER IN JAIL

RoCKLAND, Me, July 10. Ardenis
Shuman, treasurer of the town Of
Union until two months ago, when an
Investigation of his books was begun by
a professional accountant, was arrested
today charged with ENLIGHTENMENT. 1t
is alleged the investigation revealed a
discrepancy of $3.50. MI Shuman
stated at a special town meeting at
which he was removed from office that
if the accounts were found defective he
would repay any deficiency.
Shuman was arraigned late this af-
ternoon at Union before Justice Charles
E. Meservey of this city. The exam
nation was brief. Shuman pleaded
not guilty and was held in $4,000 bonds
for the September session of the grand
jury here. Failing to obtain bail he
was committed to the county Jail.
The only testimony heard against the
prisoner today was offered by one of
the selectmen of Union, who told of
the shortage in the town accounts.
Shuman admitted the shortage and
partially accounted for it by stating
that he thought that 5000 in bills which
he had laid aside at his home, and with
which he had proposed to pay the State
tax, had been accidentally burned with
rubbish.

CONCERNING HOTELS.

Landlord Simeon Ford, who has just
come back from foreign parts, tells
how much easier it is to keep hotel in
England than in this country. If an
Englishman doesn't want mutton
chops for his breakfast, he wants ba-
con and eggs. The landlord can de-
pend on that. Over here, however, it
is different. The hotel keeper must
cater to dozens of distinct food zones,
and the bill of fare must take in every
thing, including scrapple, hog and hom-
my, pie, doughnuts and ali the other
local specialties. "The habit of serving
seventy-five bad things to eat in seven
ty-ive separate canary bird baths 1 re-
gard as a drawback to our country
hotels" says Landlord Ford.
A brief experience on the other side
of the HERRING pond" leads me to
agree with Landlord Ford, although
am in doubt as to exactly where he
draws the line between city and coun-
try hotels. Probably there are many

Water From Granite Hills.


This week Mr.. Peter Pooler, who owns a
big tract of woodland in the town of Pros
pect just below Fort Knox, will open up
places in Bangor and Brewer for the sale of
pure spring water from the celebrated
of water which escapes from the granite
lodges on the side OF Croker mountain.
This spring, which energies from the solid
rock few hundred feet west from the
banks of the Penobscot river, has been
celebrated for the purity of its water for
more than century. People from all the
villages and towns along the river visit
the place every year and carry away large
quantities of the water in jugs and kegs,
believing that it is a curative agent for
rheumatism, kidney disease and other
chronic ills. Mr.. Pooler has been in Pros
pect for the greater part of the past year,
and having heard so much said in praise of
some of it to Bangor and place it on sale

! TRIO OLE EOHEMIANS

Gus Buel! died the other day in a
Philadelphia hospital, the last of the
three audacious wits who quarter of
a century ago made the Washington
Capital famous-Donn Piatt. George
Il Butler and Augustus c. Buell..
They belonged to the slap-dab, slam
bang style OF writers, merciless Bohe-
mians who spared nobody and impaled
the most majestic statesman on the
point of jibe. AS a friend said of
them: Piatt drove the stiletto into the
vitals of his enemies, Butler smothered
them under an avalanche of poisoned
roses, like the Emperor Helioga balus
at the feast of the plotters, and Buell.
macerated them with battering-lam ;"
1t was a tiambOyant outfit. BY some
incomprehensible magic George But
Ter induced that brilliant actress Rose
Etynge. 20 marry him, and when she
took him to the Nile he ordered a cart
load OF champagne out to the Pyramids
and tried to make the Sphinx drunk
with repeated and monstrous libations.
This item has something of local in
terest from the fact Mr.. Buell. was for
several seasons summer resident on
Isle au Haul, and had built there cut
ter yacht of the English type, which
for time was in the clutches of the
law and later became the property of a
summer resident of Camden. But Rose
Etynge did not take Butler to the Nile.
1t was just the other way. As the
nephew of Gen. B. F. Butler George
got the appointment, as Consul General
to Egypt, married and took his bride
with him. His official career was brief,
but he made Egypt howl while it
lasted. After his return to this coun-
try he had a position as postal inspect
or, but did not have it long, and finally
was disowned by his uncle, discarded
by his friends, and his downward ca
reer was rapid and brief. He was a
brilliant writer and was at one time as
ISOLATED with Colonel William L. Por-
ter on the Spirit of the Times, then the
leading sporting paper of this country.
Don Piatt died at his country home in
Ohio. George Alfred Townsend, con-
temporary of this trio, brilliant war
correspondent, and later leading cor
respondent at the National Capital, is
still writing for the press, his letters
appearing in the Boston Sunday Globe,
with those of "Joe" Howard, one of
the old-time journalists.
