director of the Metropolitan Steamship
company of Maine, and finally signed
or Endorsed checks aggregating $4,000
900 in the Offices of the bank Of the Man
haitian company, presumably for the
transfer of the stock of the company
named to the Metropolitan Steamship
company OF New Jersey.
Mr.. Richards, who was about y years
old at the time, said that he received
compensation at the rate of about s. a
day and expenses, and that he received
in all about 5000 for acting as treas
urer.
The young man testified in the inves-
tigation OF the commission into the af-
fairs of the New Haven railroad, and

Folk in order TO prove the connection OF
the Billiard company with the New
Haven railroad system or Charles 5.

Portland, Me-, Hinckley being an at
torney, and having charge of the incor-
poration of the company.

company Mr.. Chase, Edward ID. Robbins,
general counsel of the New Haven sys-
tenn, and Samuel Hemingway, president
of the Second National bank of New
Haven, president of the Billiard company
at that time.

and other papers, but did not recall
whether he signed as the maker of the
checks for 100000 or as indorser
After he signed the checks, he said, he
was accompanied by Chase to the re-
ceiving teller's window and deposited
them. The young man did not know
what the transaction was about. 1t is
said that he was dummy treasurer and
director and so understood his position
at the time. Hemingway, president of
the Billiard company, on the stand last
week stated that he did not remember

WHEN SKIN BREAKS OUT
OR ITCEIES APPLY SULPHUR
SAYS AN OUNCE OF BOLD-sULPHUR CREAM WILL
DRY ANY ECZEMA ERUPTION RIGHT UP

Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol-
ogist, just common boldsulphur made
into a thick cream will soothe and heal
the skin when irritated and broken out
with eczema or any form of eruption.
The moment it is applied all itching
ceases and after two or three applica-
tions the eczema disappears, leaving the
skin clear and smooth.
He tells eczema sufferers to get from
any good pharmacy an ounce OF bold
sulphur cream and apply it to the irri-
tated parts the same as you would any
cold cream. For many years common

his mind was a blank as to what had

fresh his memory. Hemingway will be
recalled to the stand.
At the time of the transaction it was

turned the prisoner loose and started

AN ADDRESS BY
PROF. W. H. HAND
Trustees and Teachers Here Are
Urged to Greater Co-opera-
ton With Patrons-Points
Out Matters That Need I'M
proving in Teaching Methods.

Prof. w. H. Hand, high school in
spector, delivered an address in the
high school auditorium here on Fri
day, January 16. Prof. Hnad said in
part: "The teachers as whole are
not giving the schools the coopera
ton that was implied in the request
for money and better buildings. This
is because we have not cooperated
with the people we should. There are
several things that can be brought to
pass by such cooperation. 1t is to be
hoped that you will add another wear
to your high school work. The mat
ter of adding another year will cost
less than sending the boys and girls
on to college and spending $3.50 on
each one for the year before. You
are sending away from Union everv
year enough pupils unprepared for
that one year to run your whole
teaching force one year.
About IA per cent of the high
school children go to college. What
about all the others. Your eleventh
grade here would help all the other
grades. When there are earnest STU
dents who cannot 60 to college who
would welcome the eleventh grade.
Then again, with the eleventh grade
you can have a wider number of cleo
tive courses. You should have at
least two clearly distinctive courses.
Some students have turn for science
and not languages; others are lust
the opposite. A college education
ought to be suited to more or less
mature minds. The patrons must
support the movement to have the.
eleventh grade. The college agents
must be watched. They win. carry
off al the pupils who are finishinr

a certain mayer III . certain town
who wrote note to the school prin-
cipal asking what he, the principal,
thought of allowing a certain carni-
val to come to town. Upon the prin-
cipal expressing disapproval the
carnival was not allowed to go to
that town.
Some of our mistakes are: (l)
Undertaking to do too many things.
One teacher trying to do more things
than one can do. (2) Not emphasiz-
ing stable subjects. For example:
reading in the 5th grade has become
thing of the past. No way to teach
reading but orally. No pupil will
learn to read unless he reads orally.
Spelling is something that is too
much neglected. The three simple
rules will help. These three rules
are familiar to all teachers and any
other help has to be sheer memory.
