H. E. Frohock Speaks Again on Liquor Question. SIZING UP PUBLIC OPINION. Pays Respects to Liquor Traffic.
"Blue Laws, Public Opinion and Privileged Rum Shops" was the theme upon which Rev. H. F. Frohock discoursed at the Foss street Methodist church yesterday morning. The sermon was along the same vein as that of his effort on the Sunday and like the former was listened to by a large congregation.
In beginning he said bluntly that his subject was a plain unadorned statement of what he wanted to talk about, and he expressed his dispproval of the practice of some clergymen in selecting a text and then construing its meaning to suit what they wished to say. He spoke of the origin of the term "blue'' as applied to laws that, are severe or over-strict in morals. The term had to come to be accepted he thought, as meaning a law which restricted any of the personal habits or desires of an individual. He applied this definition to certain customs among the Hindoos, such as that of widows casting 1 hemselves upon the funeral pyres of their husbands, the casting of children into the river as an offering to the river god, and the hurling themselves beneath the wheels of the car of Juggernaut, and said that the English laws prohibiting those customs were blue laws to the Hindoos. In Connecticut one of the blue laws was that preventing any person twenty years from using tobacco, and providing also that it should not be used within ten miles of a house.
"To whom was that law he asked. "Was it blue to the man or woman who was not a slave the habit and who wish the tobacco 1000 miles away instead of ten? Everything in our grocery and dry goods stores is often permeated witt. the odor of tobacco, but SO long as any, proportion of the people are free from the habit, the law is blue only to the persons who are slaves to the habit The Boston Maine passed an order forbidding its employes to smoke or use to bacco around the stations' or the cars, and that was a blue law to some of the employes who smoked." Mr. Frohock then passed on to mention of the law against running shops and stores on Sunday as being regarded by some as a blue law. He spoke of the opening of a drug store on Sunday and said that the result had been that by the strict letter of the law, the proprietor of the store came to be a and the man who buys from him does business that is forbidden by law.
These drug stores come to be places of resort where indecent stories are retailed and where loafers congregate, places where fathers and mothers dislike to have their children stay. If in this city only business such as ought to be carried on in a drug store were allowed to be transacted, there would not be half as many drug stores, great as the alleged sale of patent medicine is and as is the reported profit thereon. The laws against profanity, he said are blue only to the man who is a reviler of his God, and not blue to people who want purity of language and thought in their daily intercourse. So with the blue laws as related to intoxicating liquor. It is a mistake he said, to suppose that the prohibitory law prevents man from taking a glass of liquor, but it is a blue law to the person who gets drunk.
"Blue to whom?" is the question that should be asked, when we speak of blue laws. All laws of a prohibitory nature are blue to some one. What is license, but the prohibiting from some the right to sell, and giving permission to others with prohibiting provisions, regarding selling to a drunkard and the like. And the saine is true of every law. 'Right here," said Mr.
Frohock, "'we have the whole secret of public opinion. What is public opinion? Here is a community of 15,000 people some of whom have opinions on one side of a question and some on the other, and the overbalancing of opinion is regarded as public opinion. Public opinion in regard to the enforcement of the liquor law must leave out certain classes of people. In estimating the public opinion, we must leave out the sellers of rum. You might as well go to a murderer and ask him his opinion of the penalty for murder, as to get public sentiment regarding the liquor law from a rum seller.
One of the deme lightful scenes of the last day of Merchants' week was the spectacle presented by an Alfred street shop keeper, as with his coat off, he bent over to arrange a bit of drapery for the outside of his store, while two flasks projected from his hip pockets. In sizing up public opinion I say we ought not to take in people who are profited in dollars and cents, directly or indirectly through money brought in by violation of the law. When you leave out, such men as these you will get a fair count for estimating public opinion. As well go to state prison and ask the inmates what the popular opinion is as to the law against theft as go to people who sell rum, or those who shield the rum seller, and ask public opinion." After referring to the number of people holding United States licenses in Biddeford, the number of people renting buildings where rum is sold, the bartenders "'imported from Boston, because they are skilled in the mixing of fancy drinks," and the restaurants where liquor is dispensed, the clergyman spoke of the "great hotel whose proprietor said to one of my brother clergymen, 'I have been warned to close my bar by Deputy Small. a That is my only source of income from this house, and if my bar is shut up I shall close my doors within 48 That was said boastfully and insolently as far as the law is 'How about privileged rum shops? Other criminals are not notified that they are going to be searched or seized.
If a man is suspected of stealing a jack-knife, the officers do not warn him forty-eight hours before hand that he is going to be searched." Mr. Frohock said that he had been interested in reading the arguments advanced by the Universalist clergyman, Rev. J. F. Rhoades, and he was inclined to believe that Mr.
Rhoades' meaning had been misconstrued, but for all that, he thought the reverend gentleman had used rather careless forms of expression in what he said. The speaker then referred to the parade of Merchants' week and spoke of the Keeley procession, at whose head walked Mayor Hamilton, a man who might have been seated by right, in the carriage with the Governor. "I want to say that while I regard it a shame that the city of Biddeford should have permitted the sale of intoxicants to such an extent as to make it necessary to send 300 men to the Keeley institute, I want to say, repeat, that I honor the men who did take that treatment. I do not believe any church or all churches have saved A8 many souls from intemperance in this city as has the Keeley treatment. Forgetting all the past, I regard that act of the mayor's as the most honorable thing he ever did.
The people who have been sO dead in the use of the weapon of the prohibitory law as to permit 300 men to get sO low as to make the Keeley ment necessary, are the people who have got to realize that that is one of the things they will have to answer for on the judgment day. "I shall say what I believe God wants me to say as long as I am kept in this chucrh by the Methodist conference," said Mr. Frohock, by way of parenthesis this point, and Mark Bryant responded with several fervent The speaker then paid his respects to the railroad companies for transporting liquor in violation of the law, and got in a shot i in another direction by saying that ninetenths of the liquor selling in Biddeford is done in buildings rented to others and the owners are criminal after they have been notifled of the facts. "The law has sought to be a two-edged sword, and now seeks someone with a strong arm to wield it." "I want to say something in regard to the reasons given by clergyman for not joining our league. He is of the Protestant Episcopal faith, and said that he could not administer the communion rite with water, and I want to say that the only liquor that has passed my lips in twelve years was taken during communion at an Episcopal church, and that liquor was the strongest I ever tasted.
Again that clergyman said that our league would prohibit, the use alcohol in any form as medicine. There is nothing in our constitution which was published literally in the daily papers to indicate anything of that sort. Again he do noc regard it as the clergyman's duty to become the officer of the law." That is just why I say we want officers of the law to do it, and the public to back them up. "That is not in any sense a political league. A cry has gone out from the Republicans that this is a political organization, but I know that it is not.
The word party is not uttered at its meetings, and it is wholly governed by the principles of citizenship. I extend to you an invitation along these principles that you add your influence to it." In closing Mr. Frohock said, "I want to call the attention of this congregation the fact that in two sermons, in speaking on this question, and making many personal allusions, I have referred to but one man as a criminal, and that man the keeper of a hotel where liquor is sold, and who only a few years ago was crying publicly the fact that he believed a public hotel could be made to pay in Biddeford without the aid of liquor selling." MISS SMITH ELECTED. Journal Prediction for Pool School Proved a Winner. Five members of the school committee responded to the call for a special uneeting Saturday evening, to elect a teacher for the Pool school, and to see about purchasing flags for various school buildings.
The members present were Dr. Lord and Messrs. Shaw, Dwyer, Gove and Shevenell. There was some delay in getting a quorum, and it was sometime after 8 o'clock when Anthony Dwyer finally walked in, completing the number necessary for doing business. The matter of flags for the school buildings was the first thing considered, and Superintendent Gould explained.
that through various accidents, the flags which had once been the glory of the Birch and Summer street schools and the High school, had been destroyed and that cables and poles were also needed badly. The board voted that the superintendent be given power to purchase three flags and poles. Superintendent Gould then read the resignation of W. W. Goldthwaito from the Pool school, and it was accepted.
Mr. Gould said that Vincent Gookin and Mott Staples were candidates. and Anthony Dwyer said Albert Marcille was' also an applicant for that school. Mr. Dwyer asked the superintendent if a lady teacher would fill the bill" all right for that school, and Mr.
Gould replied that in his opinion a woman could get along "first rate' there. He mentioned Miss Annie Smith of the Hollis road school, as a teacher who he thought would be suitable to govern the school. She has had an experience of seven years in teaching. The salary, he explained would be more than she is at present receiving, though the Pool school only pays $360, a cut having been' made there a year ago, On motion of Anthony Dwyer Miss Smith was then unanimously elected to the Pool school, the chairman casting the ballot for the committee. It was then necessary to elect some one to the vacancy caused in the Hollis read school by the vote just taken, and the name of Miss Cora E.
Whitten was suggested. Miss Whitten has been teaching in district 6, and it was remarked in the committee her experience there has been such that she would not care to teach in that neighborhood again. On motion of Mr. Shaw Miss Whitteh was elected to the Hollis road school. Mr.
Dwyer then said that if a successor was to be elected to Miss Whitten in district 6, he would like to present the name of Albert Marcille. He considered the board in a certain sense under obligations to Mr. Marcille, and he thought it would be a good chance to redeem themselves by electing him to this vacancy. Everard Gove nominated Miss Harriet Hopping for the place. The first ballot taken resulted, Marcille Miss Hopping 1.
The second ballot resulted in exactly the same way, and after its announcement, Mr. Dwyer moved that the matter be laid on the table, and that disposal was. accordingly made of it. The board then adjourned. A LIVELY SCRAP.
Herbert Warren, the Expressman, Injured in an Affray. Herbert Warren, the truckman and Haydn S. Libby, who is employed on the city building, were the participnats in a rough and vigorous affray on Green street, Saturday night about 11 o'clock, and as a result Warren has not yet made his appearance on the street, and Libby wears a blue decoration about his left optic. The trouble began over a game of pool, and while going home together, the two men had some angry words. Blows immediately followed and both men apparently fought pretty earnestly, to judge by results.
Warren was keeping indoors today, and Dr. Bassford, physician, reported that his head was badly bruised, and there was a long gash over his eye. He did not think that he had sustained injuries in any part of his body except his head. Libby's version of the affair as told to a Journal man was: "We had some words, when suddenly Warren drew off and hit me. I didn't suppose that he was mad enough to come to blows, but he struck me in the eye.
Then I hit back at him and put in several pretty hard ones, I guess. Somebody separated us and that was all there was to it." On account of Warren's sickness Marshal Harmon thought it best to hold Libby for assault and he was accordingly taken into court and put under bonds of $200, to appear one week from tomorrow at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Dr. Bassford said today that Warren was resting quite comfortably in bed, though he did not feel himself able to get up. The gash over his eye was still bleeding when the doctor was first called in yesterday at 1 o'clock.

A. Frey. TO EMPOWER, WITH VISION, The True Purpose of Correct Education. Thirty and more, members of the High school graduating class had seats at Second' Congregational church yesterday morning, to listen to the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. T.
Arthur Frey. Both in the decorations and in the thoughts of the speaker, the spirit of '95 pervaded the church, and the audience in touch with the significance of the occasion, listened attentively to the eloquent flow ideas. There were about 500 people present. Special decorations, some which will be seen at the Methodist church tonight, were arranged about the altar. A large arch trimmed with class colors contained the motto, "Non Casu Sed Virtute," while under it was pendent The other decorations were quite elaborate, and all were in the class colors of yellow and white.
One feature of the decorative effect was remarked by everybody and that was that it was so eminently expressive of the spirit and thought of the occasion. The subject of the sermon was Vision and Duty; or Peters' Vision on the House Finds Its Interpretation Waiting at the Gate," The text was found in Acts 17. The speaker said in part: Peter on the house-top is in doubt to the meaning of a strange vision band of men stand knocking at the gate. Peter leaves the house top and goes down to the men. The men with a task come face to face with the disciple perplexed with his vision.
As a result, the strange vision finds its interpretation in the task; while the dull task finds its uplift and inspiration in the glowing vision. Thus it is that every vision has its duty waiting at the gate; and every duty has its vision ready to lift it up to higher level. Duty without vision hecomes a blind Samson going round and round in a treadmili of monotonous existence. Vision without duty becomes Narcissus SO enamored of his reflected imago that there is left no desire for service. But lo, when vision and duty correlate each other like the two cog wheels that, unite for a common purpose, but are useless alone, then we have an out look from a house-top that is full of inspiration; then we have a work, however, lowly it may be, that is glorified because; it is bathed in that divine light that never shone on land or sea.
Moses is taken up into a mountain. God sends him back to his work saying, See that thou make all things like the pattern showed thee in the And the Midian shepherd becomes the world's greatest law-giver because duty was em powered with vision. Christ picks up a few fishermen, girds them with a vision of service. They go forth to overturn the world; making their stammering tongues eloquent, their puny lives sublime. The one thing that has made the little, obscure Hebrew nation so great upon all the earth has been her power of vision.
She laid hold mightily upon the future and possessed the ages yet unborn. She saw prophesy becoming history, defeat converted into victory and so down the perspective of many centuries greeted God's promises from afar. Take a closer application of this truth. Our poets, what are they? Not mere jugglers of words. They are men standing the outer rim of matter peering over into the boundless realm of spirit, seeing the possible in the actual, the ideal the lagging real.
Painters and sculptors are men who catch sights of unseen beauties and cause them to tarry in marble and halt on canvas. Dickens and George Eliot did not create David Copperfield, Little Nell and Adam 'Bede. They simply were gifted with the power to see them as they talked East London and around Middlemarch. All men who have lead or inspired us; teachers or reformers who have lifted on to a higher table-land of living have simply been men and women who looked at things with larger eyes than others. Where a common mind sees only litted, a chandelier swinging, spinning-wheel overthrown, a man with a vision sees a power that revolutionizes the wolrd; in the steam enigne, the pendulum, the spinning-jenny.
A critic looking at some of Turner's famous paintings declared in disdain that he could see nothing in a landscape like that. Turner happened to be near and replied with withering sarcasm, "but don't you wish you That's the rub don't you wish that you could? Members of the graduating class, if your education has accomplished its purpose it has not so much filled you with facts as empowered you with vision. The grades through which you have passed have not been so many packing establishments in which you have stored away a few ideas but rather, each grade from the primary school to the high school has been a new slide pulled out of the telescope of vision giving you a truer focus on life, a deeper insight into duty and a wider sweeping horizon. The word educate comes from the Latin 'educo' meaning to lead or draw out; not to stuff in. We stuff a sausage but a plant we lead out into its true life under the wooing of the sunshine and the benison 'of the rain.
If you are truly educated you have been led out: into your true life like the plant. Tennyson sings how "knowledge comes but wisdom For knowledge is stored up facts, whereas wisdom is insight, penetration. It is not how many friends do you possess but what can you see in your friends. It is not how long have you lived but how deeply. One person goes blindly through the world seeing little in it; whereas another possessed with the in sight of a Wordsworth can say: me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep tears.
Have you this power of vision? For if you have, I care not what your conditions life may be, you will get out of everything its richest treasure; findng stars in darkest night, pearls in the roughest shells. Have you this power of vison? For you have you are possessed with noble ideals, and youth is saved by ideals. The reason that middle age fails is because it loses these ideals of youth and comes down to the level of the commonplace and the vulgar. As Wordsworth expresses it, "they fade into the light of common day." The moment you settle down and do as others do you are lost; lost all that is high and noble. Only as you keep your standards far above these lower ranges of life will you rise and not perish.
The prophet tells us that where there no vision the people perish. Hold on through middle life to these visions of your youth with all the sacredness of an inspiration. Dare to do as Emerson has exhorted the noble youth of every country, "Hitch your wagon to a star."

Probably you have been asking yourselves how do we gain these visions? Does God come to us in trances? Why not ask how visions of unutterable loveliness came to the blind Homer whose epic you have been reading? to Mliton with sightless eyeballs turned to heaven? to Livingstone living heriocally in the heart of darkest Africa? Why not ask how visions of nobleness come to the workers in the slum To fathers and mothers living lives of self-sacrifice and beauty? In the first place, I would say that these visions have come to millions have come to millions through a sight of the risen Christ.
Paul saw him and went forth to live a marvellous career, was not disobedient the to the heavenly vision." The wise men from the east came to his cradle and the wise men from the west came to his cross, saying, "We would see And this has been the secret force at work in our marvellous Christian civilization. The world has been seeing that vision of Jesus as the "one altogether lovoly and the fairest among ten thousand' and it finds itself unable to halt short of his of glorious ideal. Let Christ be in you the hope of glory and you will be constantly of receiving inflashings of the divine light, epiphanies of the Almighty. Walk in the light as Christ is in the light and you will be rich in revelations of what you ought to be and what God intended you should be. What more dare you ask? A second way in which you can receive visions of better things is through some noble person.
I know some noble souls who have been to me as gates ajar through which I have looked in upon divine beauties. Only man can reveal God, for only man is made in God's image. It was this that oli cited from Cardinal Manning the remark that a great university does not consist in great buildings but in great men. Nobler souls always give us visions of nobler things and as beckon us up higher. A This is the thought running through Carlyle's "Hero Worship." Cromwell, Lincoln, Brooks, a gentle father, a sainted mother, a teacher of fine fiber and divine mould, all give to us patterns of diviner living.
We are to cherish these visions coming through persons, for they are often Christ himself meeting us on the road to Damascus, or as we rest upon the house-top. We found in our text that Peter's vision found its interpretation in the task; that a every vision has its duty. waiting at the door. Not all of you are called to be teachers, lawyers and editors. Many of a you will find your task waiting at your very doors.
It may be to work in the mill, and support aged parents; it may to care for the duties at home; it may be to learn some mechanical trade. Whatever it is, go down from the house-top and do it in the strength of a noble vision. If it isa humble line of work, bring to it a lofty spirit. The work is not to make you; you are to make the work, for spirit is always greater than matter. A sunbeam can glorify a muck heap.
'A consecrated spirit will lift up any work to the level of a sacrament because it is seen from the heights of divinity. Difficulties will come to you. But what of it? A clod can block the pathway of a worm but a man empowered with a vision can look beyond mountains of insuperable difficulty. He can wait and endure. He can suffer and bs patient good time will convert all apparent debecause he knows that God in his own feats into victory.
How large and ample is such a life in the liberty of its vision. If into the store and workshop you will carry the spirit of the young boy who said he must be about his Father's business, you will find the commonest things appareled in celestial light. You will be looking back upon life from its hither side. Lowell shows us how Sir Launfal went into distant climes in search of the vision. of the Holy Grail.
He returned after long years of fruitless quest to find it with the beggar crouched at his gate. Yes, at your very gates you are to find duties waiting for you to take them up in the spirit of noble manhood and womanhood. But beware. If you do not do your duty you will finally have no vision. You remember that the raonk in Longfellow's "legend Beautiful" would have lost this beatific vision altogether if he had not gone forth and done his duty calling to him.
Action prepares the way for sight. He sees most who through life fulfils the most duties. Only he who does the will of God is to know the doctrine. If through life you are true to your visions and interpret them into duties you will be enabled at the end to look beyond the tomb and say, "Fare- GOOD SHOOTING.

ANOTHER "HOWARD" Not S. B. Howard Who Was in Saco Saturday, BUT A STRANGE NEW YORKER, Who Landed Here in Tight Circ*mstances. "Howard," who was in Saco Friday night, as told exclusively in the Journal, was apparently. not the much advertised Samuel -B.
Howard or Calvin S. How ard, who is out on bail from Lewiston, and formerly lived in Cornish. The "Howard" who registered at the Saco House seems now to be a person not connected with the Cornish Howard in any way As the Journal told Saturday, a man who registered at the Saco House as L. A. Howard spent much of his time Friday evening in begging money from residents of Main street.
He called at the home of Rev. S. B. Emery and solicited money and went from there to other houses along the street and it is known that he obtained several small sums in this way. He represented himself as being in destitute circ*mstances, although he was well dressed, and claimed to have left a $3000 position in New York city.
At the Saco House, Landlord True gave him a night's lodging, as the stranger had no baggage and said that he bad only twenty-five cents in his pocket. He said he had left his grip in Portland. "Howard's" strange actions were described in the Journal Saturday night. He left Saco at 8.30 Saturday morning and during the forenoon walked into Mrs. Jones' restaurant 'at Old Orchard carrying a heavy grip.
passed the night there and appeared to have plenty of money, and Sunday he remained about the beach. Marhal Harmon was at Old Orchard yesterday afternoon, and chanced to see the stranger in the railroad station. The marshal wants S. B. Howard on a charge of bigamy' 'and as the description given him tallies exactly with the appearance of the stranger who registered in Saco, as L.
A. Howard, he stepped up to him and How do you do, Mr. Howard?" "My name isn't Howard, it's Bates, replied the stranger as he looked coolly at the marshal, apparently trying to deterimne, whom he was dealing with "Didn't you register at the Saco House as Howard?" asked the marshal. The stranger admitted that he did register as "Howard" and the marshal asked him what he did that for. 'That's my business," he replied.
By this time 3 crowd had gathered about and the marshal accompanied by Special Officer Fred Goodwin, and Journal rea porter took 'Howard" up a side street, and questioned him closely. He stoutly denied that he had anything to do with the Howard whom Marshal Harmon wanted, though he made several seemingly contradictory statements. He finally stated that his name was Bates Howard," though that was different from the way he entered it at the Saco House and at Mrs. Jones' restaurant. At the latter place, he registered very plainly as L.
A. Howard. Howard said that he was a New Yorker, and his accent rather lent color to this statement He said he came from New York to Portland by boat, and while in the Forest City fell in with a gay young woman, who relieved him of $217, all the money he He then applied to the Portland police for assistance and was sent to a Mission house, after which he to Old Orchard, he had received a letter came to Saco. He admitted that he begged in Saco, but said that since going de with money in it, and he showed a tendollar bill. He said he left a a job paying $125 a month in New York, and that his father is a' clergyman and his brother a civil engineer.
Finally a Journal reporter hunted up Frank Banks of this city, who knows both the Cornish Howards, and after a look at the stranger, he declared that he was not one of those men. A Gorham House hostler from Steep Falls also said that the man was not one of the Howards. The steward at the Old Orchard House came from New York in the steamer, with the stranger, and told the officers that he had an uncle named Bates, who once run the Bates House in that city. After talking with the stranger about two hours, the marshal at length became convinced that he was not the man he wanted, and he was allowed to go. L.
A. B. Howard called at the Journal office this morning and requested a statement be inserted to the effect that he is not S. B. Howard, and is in no way connected with the Cornish man by that name.
In fact, he is a New Yorker, and never heard of S.3 B. Howard, he says, until he read the Journal. He says that was simply in hard sledding" when he struck Saco, and obtained money af terward 'by 'telegraph on his arrival at the beach. In' justice to himselt and further his chance of obtaining employment at Old Orchard, Howard was anxious to have it understood that he was a victim of mistaken identity. If it required an annual outlay of $100.00 to insure a family against any serious consequences from an attack of bowel complaint during the year there are many who would feel it their duty to pay it; that they could not afford to risk their lives, and those of their family for such an amount.
Any one can get this insurance for 25 cents, that being the price of a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In almost every neighborhood some one has died from an attack of bowel complaint before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. One or two doses of this Ta remedy will cure any ordinary case. It never fails. Can you afford to take the risk for so small an amount? For sale by John Berry.

"I suppose you have heard something about the gist of Mr. Frohock's utterances in reference to the hotel proprietor," said the Journal man. The Hotel Thacher landlord was busy with a pile of insurance documents at his desk in the Maine Mutual Aid office, and only stopped from his writing long enough to say, Frohock? Who's he?" Then he added, "If you want to quote me as I say it, you may say that it is perfectly immaterial to me Mr.

A QUICK CAPTURE. Alleged Crook Arrested in Biddeford, Saturday Night. CHARGED WITH THREE FORGERIES. Prisoner is Deeply Repentant In Jail. With the assistance of Thomas Cosgrove, the Biddeford officers made an arrest Saturday night of an alleged crook, who is charged with passing forged checks on several local merchants.
He was captured at the Eastern railroad station in this city just before the eastbound Pullman came in. He was a welldressed man rather fine appearance. He wore a brown derby hat, a' light suit of clothes and patent leather shoes, and had a brown moustache. His age is about thirty-five years He refused to give any information about himself, and as far as the officers are concerned, he has no name. The stranger went into Thomas Cosgrove's store about 9 o'clock Saturday night, and called for a pair of russet shoes.
He spent considerable time in selecting them and meanwhile talked freely on general topics. When he had found a piar of shoes that fitted, he presented a check on John B. Murphy in payment. The check was made out to B. Hicks" and endorsed by that name on the It was for $15, and appeared to be perfectly regular and all right, so Mr.
Cosgrove accepted it, the man claimed to be a painter in the employ of Mr. Murphy, and declared that the check represented his week's wages. Mr. Cosgrove gave, him the shoes and $12.50 and the stranger departed. But Mr.
Cosgrove's suspicions were aroused after the man had gone out, and he went to John B. Murphy's store on Alfred street, and asked him if the check was genuine. Mr. Murphy declared it a forgery and Mr. Cosgrove immediately notified the officer who commenced an active search.
Marshal Harmon sent some of the officers to search all the electric cars for a person answering the description given by Mr. Cosgrove, while. others were sent to watch on Main street, and at the railroad stations. No trace of the man was found on the electrics, but the squad which went to the Eastern station had better success. Eyed Goodwin and John Hayes, officers, accompanied by Mr.
Cosgrove reached the station shortly before the arrival of the Pullman and Mr. Cosgrove caught sight of this man waiting about the station. He was put under arrest, and taken to Marshal Harmon's office where he was searched. In his pockets were a number of pawn tickets from New York pawn shops, several letters, a new jack-knife, and a check signed by C. E.
Keefe on a bank in Newburgh, N. Y. When arrested, the man at first appeared greatly shocked at his treatment by the officers, but when he saw Mr. Cosgrove, 'he apparently came to the conclusion that he was squarely caught, and went along peac appeared to be stricken with a deep sense of disgrace, burying his face in his handkerchief, and apparently shedding tears copiously. When Fred Goodwin asked him his name, he refused to give it and would not say where he belonged.
Later when Marshal Harmon took him in hand he maintained the same dogged refusal to give himself a name; saying 'How can you ask me? Don't you know how a man in my position feels I can't give you my After a while, however, when the marshal pressed him for an answer he said, "Put it down C. B. Hicks. He admitted that he obtained the knife that was found on him from a hardware store. E.
Youland Co. and Carlos Heard were also victimized. At each place a check for $15 on J. B. Murphy was presented and accepted.
At Youland's sweater and some underclothing were purchased, while at the hardware store he bought the knife. All three of the cheeks were apparently written by a different hand, and were evidently the work of an expert forger. "Hicks" wanted. to settle with the officers when arrested, but they consigned him for safe keeping to the tender mercies of Jailor Fenderson of Saco, where he spent the day yesterday in undisturbed meditation. Hicks" is the most peculiar prisoner in some ways that Jailor Fenderson ever had dealings with.
He cried almost continuosuly all the day Sunday, and "boo-hooed" loudly. When a Journal reporter called at the jail in the evening the jailor said that he was quiet just then, but that he had hardly ceaesd his shedding of tears, during the day, and he had refused to eat anything. As the jailor and reporter halted before the cell door, "Hioke" looked up from his seat on the iron cot for an instant and then buried his face in his handkerchief, and appeared to be weeping. When the reporter asked him if he was willing to give his name, he only groaned and said, "you can't expect me to give any name in my position." When asked if he had no friends and if he intended to procure counsel, he replied with a "boohoo" of sorrow, "I can't talk. I can't even think." He refused to say anything about himself.
'Hicks" afterward, however, gave his true name under a pledge of confidence, to an officer and told something, it is said, of his history, though he still refused to say where he came from. Journal was told this noon that he had lower, court and until decided to waive examination, before the September. Some of the officers express sympathy for "Hicks" and say believe this to be his first attempt at forgery. Hicks was to have been arraigned at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and it is understood that he will plead not guilty. "A carload of straw hats has arrived at Kearney's, Goodwin's block.
