Now Be Discontinued.

Concord, N. H.-The Maine Cen.
ira, Railroad has complied with the
provisions of the law passed at the
last session of the Legislature, com.
pelling all railroads in the state to
issue 500-mile mileage books, and to
keep them on sale at all stations,
and it is probable that the action in.
stituted by the state to compel com.
pliance, filed in the Superior Court

tinued
The information came to the Public
Service Commits sion in letter from
H. B. Waldron, general passenger
agent of the road, under date of July
81, in which he said:
This is to advise that supply of
Maine Central mileage books, in de-
nomination 500-miles, has this day
been supplied all Maine Central sta
tions in the state of New Hampshire
who commonly carry mileage books
of 1,000mile denomination in stock;
that is, all of our principal stations.
"A bulletin copy of which is at
tached for your information) has
been sent to each agent instructing
him to commence the sale immediate
ly upon receipt at rate of two cents
per mile, or $40 for the 500-mile
book.
There are certain stations on this
company's lines (not alone in the
state of New Hampshire) where
mileage books are not regularly car
ried in stock on account Of the lin
tied demand for them and the made
quate means of taking care of such
valuable tickets.
"All such agents in New Hamp-
shire, as well as in other Maine
Central territory, may secure the
mileage books for a prospective Gus
toner by making application to this
department by letter or by wire.
trust that this arrangement will meet
with your entire approval
The board has replied to Mr. Wal
dron and also to Morris Mcdonald,
the president of the road. To the lat

on letter from your general man.
ager, Mr.. Waldron, dated July 81,
1913, stating that the law is to be
complied with, upon sale as required
by the statute to which you refer. We
assume that this later letter indi-
Gates your final decision.
"Of course, it is not within the
province of this commission to pass
upon the wisdom or the validity of
acts of the Legislature. Our duty in
respect to this matter was to call it
to the attention of the Attorney Gen
eral for appropriate action as pro-
vided by statute.
I'VE are however, pleased to know
that your road is to comply with the
provisions of the law without pro-
longed litigation to test its validity"

few days in Libby from his upper

to follow his horses into the corral
each time they entered it, and was no
more wild than the horses.
Mr. Wegner said it was a doe and
had pink eyes, so he had named it
"Albino" Old hunters here say that
on account of its freakish appearance
it had been driven away by other deer
and had become an outcast, and in
such cases the animal will always go

CHURCH CORNERSTONE STOLEN
Workmen Discover Loss in Razing
New Bedford Edifce.

New Bedford.-Some thief with a
grim sense of humor has stolen the
cornerstone from the Church of st.
John the Baptist. AS the theft took
place anywhere between this week
and forty years ago, when the church
was built, the police fear that clews
to the thief may be faint by this time,
even for a New Bedford sleuth to fol-
low.
In this copper box which the corner
stone held were placed gold and silver
coins worth SIS, as well as interesting
records. The coins were what the
thief sought, it is supposed. The loss
was not discovered until workmen, de.
molshing the church, came down to
the very foundations
