HALLOWELL.
Snow Bound by Sevaest
Blizzard in Years.
Car Service in This City Wholly
DemoraIized by Storm.
Church Service Sunday..0ther Lo.
cal Chat Of Interest.

From an early hour Saturday morn
ing until a late hour in the evening,
Hallowell was isolated by a snow
storm that proved to be one Of the
worst that has covered this city for
a great number of years. And far into
the middle of the day Sunday several
localities about the city remained
snow bound. The storm started with
a very light fall Of snow, but by
noon the fall was so intense that it
was impossible to distinguish objects
and even buildings more than eight or
10 rods distant. By night travel about
the streets had practically ceased ow-
ing to the extreme difficulty eneount-
ering the pedestrian who endeavored to
pilot himself home.
Travel between Hallowell and Au-
gusta Mas brought to halt about 4
P. M. Saturday, when the 3.45 Gardi-
ner bound electric got as far as Cen
trail street, and there, was unable to
plow through the drifts. Shortly after,
car ia from Augusta got as far as
the first stop above the post Office,
where it staid. For four hours these
cars started and backed in about twice
their length, until they finally got
enough start and reached the car barn.
On the Maine Central all of the
trains after the arrival of No. ! at
9.09 A. NJ, were from one to eight
hours late. Train II, east bound, due
here at 2.22 P. M, arrived about 1890
P. NJ.
Until about 6 P. NJ. Street Commits
sioner Ward S. Cottle kept the side
walks open to traffic by continual
circuit of several plows. but after that
he confined his efforts 20 the main
streets. However, by continual labor
the streets within the city limits were
broken out the first thing Sunday
morning.
An amusing incidental positive fact
occurred about o'clock Saturday
evening, giving fair example of the
severity of the storm. A gentleman
residing in some of the higher Sec
tions of the city, started for his home,
prepared for every emergency that
might befall him-even a compass in
his equipment. After he had walked
until he thought he mus. be some
where near home, he took observa-
tions, but came to the conclusion that
he had still to walk a little farther.
After few minutes he took his sec
ond observation and found that he
was nuite a distance out of the city,
and about half mile from home.
Anyway, he still lives to tell the story.

How. to Tell Counterfeits.

The hand is quicker than the eye in
detecting fraudulent bank notes. The
feel of the distinctive paper used by
the Government is the first warning
signal that the money rendered is bad.
This paper is distinctive not alone
because of the introduction of silk
fiber in the bill itself, but because of
the treatment the stock receives in
printing The silk threads are some
times initiated by -and-lnk lines,
but these do not bear close eXamina-
ton. The engraving has been the
greatest protection, for even photo-en-
craving fails to bring out the proper
color values, and retouching by the
craving tool makes the lines heavy ana
irregular. Photography also fails in
reproducing the color of the seal,
which must be washed in with water
colors, the black lines Of the engraving
showing through in counterfeits. The
most dangerous counterfeit is that in
which a genuine bill of lower denomi-
nation is bleached out and a false
plate showing a high denomination
nlaced Ilpon il. Here is genuine
bank bill. 1t has the feel The silk
threads are present. IL the eHSiSi'A'S
is fairly we'll done and the color of ap-
proximate correctness it becomes
dangerous counterfeit, and bankers are
at once warned to be on the watch for
it. In this connection the check let
ter often comes into play. All Gov
ernment notes are printed of one de-
nomination, four on a sheet. and are
lettered respectively A. b. c and D.
Each note bears Treasury number
If, when that number is divided by
four there remains one, the check let
ter should be A; if two remains, the
letter should be b; if three, then c,
and if there is no remainder, d. IL
the result shows otherwise then the
numbering is wrong and the note is
counterfeit. All denominations from
81 to $1,000 have been counterfeited, as
well as all our coins. The most usual
method of defrauding when gold coins
are handled is TO saw the coins in half,
extract the interior, and fill with base
metal.-Popular Mechanics.

Washington, June 25.-Under new

greatest business future IN its history.
This was the presidents final an
swer to the opponents of trust legisla-
ton at this session of Congress and
to prophets of evil times, delivered
with determined expression and every
word emphasized with clenehed fist.
I'VE know what we are doing" said
Mr. Wilson. We purpose to do il I'M
der the advice, for we have been for
tunate enough to obtain the advice of
men who understand the business OF
the country and we know that the ef-
feet is going to be exactly what the
effect of the currency reform was, a
sense of relief and security"
The President spoke to group of
Virginia editors in the East Room of
the White House, but his assurances
were intended for the country.
News of the failure of the Clafiin
Co. in New York had reached the
White House earlier in the day. The
President did not allude to it. The
President said in part:
Here in Washington. through the bu-
reau of commerce and other instrument
alities that are ar our disposal and
through a correspondence which comes
in to us from all parts of the nation, We
are perhaps in a position to judge of

There Is nothing more fatal to bust

something serious is going to happen to
