Company An Embezzler.
Nashua. N. H., Jan. 26. - John P
GOggin. treasurer of the Nashua Trust
company, was arrested, charged with
embezzling a sum Of money from the
bank. The amount is placed at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
Goggin was held in $4,000 bonds for
the grand jury. He made no state
ment. but it was said that his down
fall was not due to speculation, but to
his having given assistance from time
to time to a friend.
An attachment of $4,000 was placed
on the property held by Goggin in this
city by the bank.
Real estate of George E. Gage, of
Manchester, was levied upon to recov-
er on a promissory note for $4,000.
Another attachment for $4,000 also
has been filed against real estate own
ed by Gage in this city. Gage was
formerly a bank official here.

Apropos of the apparent increasing possibilities
Of war between Russia and Japan the comparative
strength of the naval fleets of the two nations in
the far east becomes of increasing interest Accord
ing to the North China Herald Russia has been EN-.
ploying her time very usefully of late.
I'm january last, the aggregate tonnage of the
Russian Pacific squadron stood at some $1,000 tons,
the feet including the Peresviet, Petropavlovsk,
Gilyak, Poltavs, Sevastopol Rossia, Gromoboi, and
Rurik, with other small vessels, " says the Herald
but in March last the tonnage went up to $4,000
TONS thanks to the arrival of the Askold from the
Baltic. In May, the Diana, Pallada, Norik and
Retyizan came; in June the Bogatyr and Boyarim
in July the Pobeda Thus the Russian naval
strength includes seventeen battleshps and cruisers,
and is now estimated at about 10000 TONS and still
inferior in amount to the japanese taking only
those ships above the Takachiho typel by some
5000 tons. The Czarevieh and Bayan, however,
arrived at Port Sal dabout two weeks ago en- route
when she was stranded off the Grecian coast By
the arrival of these three ships the Muscovte naval
forces viii stand at 17S,000 tons, exceeding adds
the Herald, the Japanese navy by some 1000
Moreover, if the Alexander III, and Aurora
duly reach here in January next as reported, the
Russian figures go up to 900 TONS and, numur-
icay, outclasses the japanese total by 2SOoo TONS
But it may be open to question whether the coal
ing and docking facilities available to Russia in
the extreme east favor the continuous operations of
Sneh an immense feet in thase waters Rv tha way
it may be noted that Vice-Admiral Togo has been
lately appointed commander-in-chef of the Japan
ese standing squadron vice Admiral Hidaka, who
has been transferred to the command Of the Mazura
naval station. Admiral Togo's appointment has
attracted special attention among the public Jap
anese and foreign, here on the ground that the Ad
miral (then captain while in command of the crus-
er Naniwa) fred the first shot in the Japan China

THE PHANTOM UTOPIA.

Among the large schemes of Andrew Carnegie
is the establishment of an ideal city. Even prac.
tical man may dream, and this is the dream of the
ironmaster. There can be no Utopia. There is a
limit to the working of the altruistc theory
There can be no ideal city There is no place in all
the world for it. The human is not an ideal. and
humanity is the basis of any city That selfshness
is the rule of action is not only true bnt inevitable
II was the rule of Mr. Carnegie while he was heap
ing up his fortune and had it not been the rule he
: never would have had the fortune. Some. who
feel the impulse to be generous and unselfsh find
tnat they cannot act upon this. In response to the
rst law of nature they have to change their tactics
An ideal city might look well on paper. If it
could be peopled by angles it would be most de-
slrable spot, although, of course little embarrass
ing to mere men, says the Ledger
The members of the race are gregarious, but they
object to losing their individuality They will not
lose it. They will not abide by regulations that
tend to make them lose it. The family, knit by
ties OF blood and affection, cling together. It does
not care as much for the family living next door
as 1t does for the members gathered within the
walls OF the place known as ''home" There is no
system that can cause it to care as much This is
fine thing for the domestic home but it estops the
ideal city, which is designed to be larger home
The town of Pullman was as close an approach to
the ideal as has yet been conceived People sup
posed to be the beneficiaries rebeed against the
restrictions. They had lost their freedom. They
1elt the CALLING of bonds supposed to be kindly
The tethers Of charity cut deep into their pride
The town was failure, and so will any other town
founded with the purpose of being ideal. Let the
individual be trained. Let him build his own home
among other people congenial to him There is no
standard possible. The ideal Of one would be

AMUSEMENT is NecessARy.

A Chicago minister has made the Iroquois dis
aster the excuse for & sermon declaring that the
American people are 900 fond of amusement and
get too much of it, says the Ledger. There can
hardly be justification for his dragging in the mel
ancholy episode in such connection, unless in the
belief that the people who pershed We're punished
because they had INDUCED the desire to be amused
OF course this would be illogical, The accident
might have happened in any gathering of people
within four walls
The question of the requisite amount of amuse-
ment is not to be settled arbitrarily or by the
standard of any individual except as the question
pertains to himself. The person who has his tolls
and cares, and by visit to the theater is enabled
to forget these, in staying away from clean show
misses an opportunity. Without the possibility
of amusement life would be dreary round. 0f
course there would be no sense in making diversion
the chief object of existence. One who puts forth
no mental effort beyond that involved in trying to
devise methods of being amused would not accom-.
plish much either for himself or his fellows
Amusement is necessary incident but it should
not be the main object. The building Of theaters
does not argue any base tendency or even ten
dency unduly frivolous. 1t shows that people like
to witness good plays and that they are so prosper
GUS that they can afford to pay their Nay. The
mere existence of many theaters well patronized,
is healthy economic sign and does not have, other
wise, special significance.

FOOD FACTS.
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent physician of Rome,
Georgia, went thru food experience
which he makes public:
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food
and also know from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients, that the food is a
wonderful rebuilder and restorer Of
muscle.
1t improves the digestion and sick
patients always gain just as I did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
II was in such a low state that +
had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains Of this state but
two months there did not improve me;
in fact was not quite as we'll as
when I left home. My food absolute
came plain that + must change, then
! began to use Grape-Nuts food and ii,
two weeks I could walk a mile without
the least fatigue and in five weeks re-
turned to my home and practice, TAX
ing up hard work again. Since that
time I have felt as well and strong as
I ever did in my life. M

THEY CAME EARLY
Delegates Prepared for Hottest Fight
on Record in Hennepin.

Long before 1 o'clock, the appoint
ed hour for the republican county
convention to be called to order in
the fourth ward wigwam, delegates
began pouring into the hall. The
capacity Of the auditorium was con-
siderably overtaxed and the second
ward delegates were obliged to occupy
seats on the rostrun. Because of the
crowded condition of the hall only
duly accredited delegates were ad-
mitted.
Gossip among delegates prior to
the call to order showed a general
belief that the battle between the
DUNN and Collins factions would be
one of the closest political fights Hen
nepin county had ever seen.
collins will get fair play as far as
I am concerned" remarked Secretary
Tom Girling, a prominent leader
among the Dunn forces.
Among those who occupied seats or
the rostrurn were: William Henry
Eustis, Loren Fletcher, Tim Byrnes
Judge Ell Torrance. Messrs Fletcher
Byrnes and Torrance were freely
predicting a Collins victory. Eustis
oracularly remarked, "the side thai
has a majority will win. It's toe
close for anybody to make a safe pre-.

MURDEROUS DEED
WRECKS A HOME
Father in Jail, Mother a Maniac,
and Children Set

Bemidji, Minn., June 2S.-Berswen
Roam Of Buzzle is in Jail here charged
with killing Ole Badken, a neighbor
in a drunken quarrel, twenty miles
north from here, where both men
| lived. Roan's wife, hopelessly insane
from the time she was told OF the
tragedy, Is being cared for by friends
pending her removal to an asylum;
and in a modest but comfortable home
on the outskirts Of the settlement are
eleven little children deprived of both
a mothers and fathers care and
who must become public charges un-
less Roam Is able to make good in
court his claim that he killed Badken
in self-defense.
Roam and Badken were neighbors,
apparently good friends, and no en-
nifty has been known to exist between
them.
Sunday both men were much to-
gether, and late in the afternoon went
to the Badken cabin, where more or
less liquor was drunk, and where a
fight took place, which was ended by
Roans driving a knife into his COM
panion, causing almost instant death.
Roam Immediately quit the place
and, thoroly sobered, returned to his
own home and informed his wife Of
what he had done.
During the night she became vio-
lently insane A doctor said she was
hopelessly insane and advised her re-
moval to a neighbor's house, away
from her children.

ty. The forces were strengthened to-
day and the posses are starting out
in all directions.
Great excitement prevailed last
night, when Undersheriff Christ Burns
drove rapidly thru the city with a
prisoner in the seat beside him, Sc
curely guarded and handcuffed. The
crowd followed the officer to the
county Jail, where the prisoner was
taken to q cell. The prisoners de-
scription was almost identical with
that Of the murderer, except the color
of his hair, which was somewhat
lighter. He was released after being
positively identified by La Crosse
man., who said that he talked with
! him a few days ago just before he
left this city for Holmen, where he
expected to work on a farm.
No one appears to know exactly
where the murderer is, but the officers
believe he Is somewhere in the Mis-
sissippi river bottoms near this city,
having been driven this way by mill
tia from Trempealeau county and Wi
mona. .
It Is feared that, should he be cor
nered, he will do. as. Tracy did, cheat
his captors after defending himself
to the bitter end. Interest in the chase
Is still at fever heat where the fugi-
tive Is believed to have been seen, and
search is kept UP with unremitting
vigor. Militia from Hudson still
search Trempealeau county.
