REFUSED A REWARD.
Champion Would Not Accept Money
 for Returning Lost Articles.

Henry l. Champion, assistant super intendent of the G. M. R. Shoe compa- ny, has refused to accept $50 for re- turning articles that he had found to the owner, because he does not believe in accepting reward money for any thing that he finds. Last week while riding in the country he found in the road a box containing what looked like wearing apparel, He did not examine it's contents but left 1t at the Water bury police station, where it was later claimed by It's owner, who, upon learn ing the identity of the finder insisted upon paying him $50 reward. Mir. Crampton would not accept 1t, and no amount of persuasion could induce him to change his mind.
 T do not believe in accepting re- ward when 1 restore lost article to it's owner" said Mir. Crampton. If l find anything and can locate the owner the article does not belong to me and don't want any money for finding it. Of course, if I discovered horse thief might accept a reward, but that's en- tirely different from restoring a lost article to it's owner, If I lost anything myself I would willingly pay for it's return, but I never accept pay for any thing that I find"
 This is not the first reward that MT. Champion has refused. On one occa> sion he found a large sum of money,
 ing valuables that had been lost by it's owner. In each case he was requested to accept a liberal reward, but declined to receive anything.

Do the right thing if you have Ma sal Catarrh. Get Ely's Cream Balm at once Don't touch the catarrh powders and snuffs, for they contain cocaine. Ely's Cream Balm releases the secretions that inflame the nasal passages and the throat, whereas medicines made with mercury merely dry up the secretions and leave you no better than you were.

FAIR HAVEN HAPPENINGS
To Consider Cedar Hill Station Matte-Srong School Alumni Whs-Coming Recital at East Pearl Street M. E. Church.
Especial Journal and Courier News service)

Next Sunday afternoon at the Gay
 publishing rooms in Rowe street there
 will be a special meeting of the Elev-
 enth and Twelfth Ward Civic associa-
 ton. This meeting Is to prepare for
 the hearing by the railroad commits
 sioners on the petition to abolish the
 Cedar Hill passenger station and the
 association is very anxious that when
 the station is removed to give way to
 the extension of Lombard street, that
 another station should be erected in
 the vicinity. Possibly the present
 building could be moved and answer
 the purpose. It is pointed out by those
 in favor of retaining a station in that
 vicinity that it is great popular need
 and not only VII the people of Fair
 Haven be accommodated, but the peo-
 pie of the Seventh and Eighth wards.
 The hearing before the railroad com
 nlissioners will be held at the station next Tuesday at 1 D, m. The meeting
 on Sunday will be an important one and it is expected that it will be large ly attended.
 It may be necessary soon to have night bridge tenders at the Chapel street, Quinnipiac and Tomlinson drawbridges. It is stated that the nav igation above these bridges is increas- ing so rapidly that night men on duty will soon become a necessity. There is no such necessity at the upper bridge, at Grand avenue, but at the 2 lower bridges, something in the line of E an increased service, which can be
 supplied by night bridge tenders, will ere long be a necessity.
 It is said that the United States Steel H,corporation which owns the plant for merly owned by the National Wire cor poration, pays out to stockholders a larger sum annually than any other I 3corporation in the world, save the f Standard Oil company. This is inter- Testing news to Fair Haven people who have a very great interest in the big ! iron and steel plant in Fair Haven East which 1t is expected the new owners will start up before very long.
 The plant can't be started any too soon tHto suit the people in this vicinity, for r it's operation means very large
 amount of labor provided for the peo- Hple over here.

BANDIT RELEASES
TITLED PRISONER
SIR HARRY MACLEAN GIVEN HIS
LIBERTY BY OUTLAWS WHO
HELD HIM PRISONER.
Morocco Rejoices When Raisuli Gives
Freedom to Sultan's Com
mander-in-C Chief.

Paris, Aug. 14.-Some hope OF re-
lief in a gloomy situation is con-
tanned in the news of the release Of
Sir Harry MacLean by the bandit
Raisuli. Reports from Tangier say
that the titled hostage was handed
over by his captor to the Elkmers
tribesmen, who gave him his free
dom.
1t is believed that Sir Harry Mac
Lean, commander-in-chief Of the Sui
tan's forces, can bring some order
and discipline out of the now demor-
allied troops and march them to the
aid of the French soldiers who, under
General Drude, are battling so
bravely against tremendous odds in
Casa Blanca. Moreover, 1t is be-
lieved that Raisuli would never
have relieved his captor had he not
realized that the critical situation
foretold bloody vengeance from the
Europeans, led by the French as soon
as reinforcements arrived on the
coast and could be sent into the In
terror.
Though the more fanatic among
the natives are enthusiastic about
throwing of the foreign rule and are
preaching a holy war of extinction,
the shrewdest of the leaders realize
that In the long run 1t will be hope
less to cope with the French Govern
ment. which Is bound to triumph
over The poorly armed and poorly
organized native forces.
Raisuli, after an abortive attempt
to kidnap MacLean's beautiful
daughter, who is known as the EN-
press OF Morocco" made away with
the father, and for a long time has
been holding him for ransom. How
ever. feeling the direction of the dip
lomatic wind, he no longer dared to
keep him prisoner, as he did the
American, Ion Perdicaris, but freed
him. The bandit understood that II
MacLean met his death in the troub-
lous times which now confront Mo-
rocco he would have to pay an awful
price for the life OF his prisoner.
