rious goods valued at s14J. Both women

fair than any serious charge. The de-
PENDANT was found to be not guilty.

100 MEN LAID
Off HALL0WELl
GRANITE WORKS

Hallowell, Me-, Oct. 1S.-The Halo
well Granite Works laid off 100 men
Saturday evening.
Word has been received by the Of
ficials at the works at noon that this
action would be expedient.
This decided move on the part Of
the management proved a great sur
prise to the men and the 200 or more
men now employed at the yards of the
company are fearful that some such
disquieting news may be impaired to
them at any time.
The announcement that the men
had been thrown out of employment
when they returned for work Satur-
day evening was the cause of consid-
cradle excitement about town during
the evening.
1t is believed that the men were
discharged as the result of the lacl.
of orders for granite work, due to the
general business depression.

PROPOSE DOING
AWAY WITH THE
SIN OKIN C CARS

Portland, Me-, Oct 1S.-Passenger
conductors, on 81 railroads of the
country including those running into
this city have been directed by tho
officials to keep tabs on their trains
for the purpost of finding out how
many people there are travelling In
rectly to find out how many vacant
seats there are in smoking cars on
the different trips. 1t is reported that
some of the associations of railroad
officials who are always looking for
chances to cut out dead weight are
proposing to abolish full-size smok-
ing cars and to substitute cars that
have smoking compartments in one
end. If it is found that there are a
great many empty seats hauled every
trip, it is probable that something
will be done along that line, whereas
If 1t is found that the cars are about
filled all of the time probably they
will be left as they are. Smoking cars
are heavy and they are growing heav-
Ter in these days of steel consrruc-
ton and heavily trussed under bodies
and it would be in line of reducing
the gross weight of trains if they
could be eliminated or at least re-
duced in size A railroad official says
that the average weight of train of
equal number of cars has jumped
up more than 800 per cent. during
the past 25 years and that there is d
limit to it that will be reached before
very long. Probably that is the reason
why they are canvassing the smoking
car situation.

Baseball Profits
New York World.

The total receipts of s226,7S9 from
the four games of the Worlds Series
and the handsome bonuses paid to the
players of both the winning and losing
team, strilxingly illustrate the financial
propositions To which the national
game has grown. But this years ser
les has done more than show the
money there Is in it, 1t has vindi-
Gated the honesty of the game itself,
in spite of the commercialism of its
management.
To have prolonged the contest
through seven games, with the cham
pionship hanging in the balance to the
end, would have been worth at least
$4,000 to the owners. AS IL is, they
have profited little, if at all. from the
shorter series because of the heavier
expenses Where they will gain will
be in the more favorable attitude of
the public toward baseball as a result
of the demonstration that games are
decided on their merits and without
suspicion of "jockeying" with a view
to larger gate receipts.
