checks on page and as soon as one
needs money Thaw will send out
and have the check certified. Upon
1t being returned to him he will de
liver it over to the person for whom
it is intended.
The attendants at the Tombs run
to answer mis- every call and they are
well rewarded for their efforts.

ARREST PEER BY MISTAKE.
Prisoner Is the Real Lord Sh0lto
Douglas.

cortland, Me-. Aug. Lord
Sholto Gordon Douglas, third son of
the late Marquis of Queensberry, is
under arrest here, the local police
now say, as the result of a mistake
on the part of the authorities of Ash
vile, n. c., who are laboring under
the impression that the prisoner is
the Lord Douglas" an American
bigamist, who is much wanted in
many parts of this country.
The Portland police were request
ed by the police Of Ashville, y c.,
several days ago to arrest a man
who had rented a cottage on the
shore of Sebago Lake in May A de-
tective accordingly went to Seoag0
and detained a man known at the
lake resorts as S. G.. Douglas.
The suspect regarded his arrest
he was Lord Sholto George Douglas
With him were two persons, who, he
said, were Lady Douglas and their
son. So convincing was his story
that the local police notified the Ash
vile officers that, in their opinion,
the man was what he represented
himself to be, and advised them to
order his release. No reply, how
ever, has yet been received from
North Carolina.
A firm of bankers in Portland
stated that the prisoner was really
Lord Sholto Douglas. They say that
some time ago he brought letters of
credit from London banking house
and a number of drafts, which he
presented, were honored by the Lon
don institution.

Mrs. William Thaw, mother OF the
