Harry Dawes Arrested.

Deputy J. D Ring Of { ambrIdge Who
had been assigned to the case by sheriff
G. II. smith, arrested Harry Dawes inst al
he was leaving the "aislug room Of the
Somerset Traction company, Monday
evening under such circum stances that
he was lead to plead guilty to the charge
Of theft preferred against him in the
Municipal Court, Tuesday morning, and
was bound over to await the action OF
the grand jury of the =. ] court now
In session
Dawes had been IL the employ
Of the Traction Co., al various times
during The past three years While
working for them he was necessarily
about the effics at TINES and, it seems,
observed that money was left in the
safe and was able to familiarze himself
with the combination. Since then from
time to time he has entered the Uffic
when no one was about and taken small
sums from the cash which he found
1t has not been the policy Of the com
pany to keep any considerable amount
in their Office and such as was left in
the safe WAS. only intended to serve the
purpose of petty cash, from which small
payne nts were made and INTO which
small sums were put from various
sources and a strict cash balance was
not kept on these unimpoItant receipts
and disbursements. 1t was therefore
some time before they realized that theft
wac going on but when they did it was
not long before they were able, by mark
ing the coin left in the drawer and
tracing them to locate the guilty party
and cause his arrest as above mentioned
heritf Ring was selected for the case
because he was not generally known
here and his presence in the vicinity IF
the Office " ould not cause comment. He
saw Dawes go into the Office and wait
ed for him 10 come out, standing near
enough so that he could hear him work
the combination and open the safe door.

OF the New York Life Insurance Com

New York Legislative committee that
the company in the last Presidential
campaign, contributed $4,000 to the
funds OF the republican national commit

cellent Judgement, but what right had
they to take the money of policy holders
and devote it to any such pup pose. Mr..
Perkins made this explanations: "1his
payment was made because we felt that
the assests of the New York Life Insur-
ance company would be jap4rd zed by
Democratic success" Mr. Perkins said
contributions were also made IN 1900 and
in 1896. What do the Democratic policy

Many OF our summer visitors, who
have now gone to their homes in distant
states, are now sounding the praises OF
Maine. And well they might. Our
state, participating In nearly all he
great improvements OF the age, has gone
on steadily developing her resources and
increasing her wealth and power. APP
preciated most ardently as good state
In which to raise men and women for
the west, ice for the south, and granite
for all creation, 1t has become more than
that. Her wide extent OF territory; her
picturesque and impressive scenery; her
rich soil where wealth is turned up by
the plowshare her two hundred and
seventy-eight miles of sea coast, brist-
ling with some of the grandest revela-
tions of Natures works; her islands,
sitting like coronet In the diadem Of
old ocean, and dotted with the cottages
OF men OF wealth, of leisure and Of bust
ness; her fine lakes and beautiful har-
bors and grand roads winding like sill
very thread through smooth intervalee
and gently-rising, verdure-clad hills -
these have within few years made
Maine fashionable and popular resort,
and attracted hither every summer a
moving tide of pleasure seekers, and the
weary and invaded seeking for rest and
health, which they find here In full
measure.
