Lewiston, March 29 Stating that
he was guided by the advice of his
attorney, City Treasurer Thompson In
formed the council last night that he
could not comply with the order of

A short time ago, complying with
the terms of the ordinance, the First
National bank filed a bond of 810,000
which entitled the Institution to a de
posit of 19000, bearing 4 per cent In
terest. The council then made the or
der directing that the treasurer make
the deposit of 89000. Mr. Thompson
asked until last night to consider the
matter and he appeared and stated
that he had been Informed he was tlx;
legal custodian nf the funds and that
he could not place the money out of
his hands; that he wanted to do what
was right and that he was acting in
good fulth. The mayor stated that
City. Attorney Cox had Investigated
the validity of the ordinance. .

NEW YORK LETTER
ARMY PROMOTIONS BLOCKED.
Due to CliarRrs Preferred Against a
Lieutenant. . ;
Washington. 'March 29. Many sec
ond lieutenants of the army are great
ly disturbed over the fact that they
cannot be promoted. No officer of
that grade of the Infantry arm has
been advanced since last September.
This Is on account of charges pend
ing against Lieutenant V. W. Boiler,
of the 20th Infantry. These charges
reached the war department, and "al
though Boiler had been nominated' for
promotion, the senate military com
mittee has asked for further Inform
ation concerning him, with the result
that the court of Inquiry has been de
tailed, and It will be several weeks.
If not months, before the situation Is
relieved for the subalterns of Infantry.
In the mean time Lieutenant Boiler
Insists that he shall have the presence
of a long list of officers whose tes
timony he regards as necessary In es
tablishing his fitness for promotions
The summoning of these officers be'
fore the court of Inquiry would mean
a loss of much time In travel, to say
nothing of the expense of mileage and'
the annoyance due to absenteeism.
The war department Is Inclined to
think that Lieutenant Boiler should
depend on depositions to acquire the-
Information, all of which Is far from
cheerful news for Juniors he has
blocked In advancement.
Amty Doctors Arc Wanted.
New York, March 29. Much Inter
est attaches to the examinations to
be held here and In other cities In
different parts of the country, of
graduates of medical colleges who de
sire to become commissioned officers
of the medical department of the
army. Tnere will be about 30 places
m the grade of first lieutenant (as
sistant surgeon) to be filled by the
preliminary examlnatolns which are
to take place on May 1 and July 31.
Some difficulty has been encountered
hitherto In obtaining candidates who
come up to the requirements, and
this Inability to keep the vaoamtfes
In the corps filled has served as an
argument In favor of Increasing the
higher grades of the department, so
as to facilitate promotion and offer
better chances of advancement to
those who are disposed to enter the
corps.

New York, March 29. Certainly, if
ever a man was badly deceived It was
millionaire Klley, of Brooklyn. His
wife gave every Indication thwt sho
was going to die, and relying confi
dently upon the out givings of her
physical condition, Mr. Klley went off
and married another woman. But he
no sooner secured a second wife, tta-l
Ing married to her with all the forms
of law and with due ceremony, than
first wife starts in to recover, and lov
when Mr. Klley returns to Brooklyn,
In time as he- expected to bury her.
as he supposed', he Is confronted wlttt
the disagreeable fact that she Is alive
and well, and quite as hearty aa his
latest wife.
Clearly Mrs. Klley the first was en
tirely In the wrong In not departing
as she gave every indication of doing.
Mr. Klley didn't do much about It,
only kept it a secret, and telling his
first wife all about it gave her a
handsome house to live In, and
straightway ensconsed his second wife
in a residence equally as good, only
a short distance away. He didn't di
vide himself, however, but took up his
residence with his second wife, on the
ground that she was a playmate of his
boyhood, for which reason, of course,
he knew her better than he did his
first wife. Overcome by the public'
Ity the affair acquired by the unex
pected action of the newspapers, tno
millionaire has retfred to some seclud
ed nook.
Mr. Klley's reflections upon the af'
fair coincide with those of a Norfolk
nn.lertaker. who- being solicited to
take an advertisement In a periodical, j
said business was bad. "The fact Is,"
he sold, "people are not dying aa they
should." "Whys" said the solicitor.
"that Is very strange. I was told
down the street that people died this
year that never were known to have-
died before." The undertaker was
nonnlussed. but after stroking his
heart a while, said, "Why, that is sol
I will take that advertisement."
That- most detestlble animal.
ttcriggs, the negro enslaver of white
women right under the noses of ttte
police, got shurt shrift In court. The
Jury took only a few minutes to reach
a verdict. an he was sent to prison
In a whirl,, where they will have to
erect an annex out of reach of the
other convuets. in order that they may
maintain a slight feeling of self-re'
spect.
What a terrible crime his was en
snaring pure women Into vll dens,
where once confined they were doom
ed to stay as surely as slaves in a
slave pen In darkest Africa. The win'
dows were barred and locked and the
women were under the strictest guard
and had to go through the horrid life
to which he condemned them, with
not a chance to appeal to any human
being, and the government right near.
and yet for purpose of release or res
cue, as far away as the north pole.
Their story has made the blood of clt
Isens boll, but the women's lives were
wrecked.
One nest of these vipers has been
discovered, Its walls torn apart, Its
secrets revealed to the public. How
many more such places are here?
Probably dosens. The city must set
about destroying them, also citizens
will not sleep nights. But in this
case, as in many others, the myster
les that hover about large cities, all
throw their sheltering arma about the
scoundrels and hide the cancer from!
the public ken.
Our Majestic Pension Roll.
The annual pension-appropriation
bill, which has passed the house, was
presented by Mr. Gardner of Michi
gan, In a speech full of suggestive In
formation. The bill appropriate $139,
000,000, which makes it the second
of the great appropriation bill, the
postofflce bill being first.
. The civil war was estimated to have
cost about six billion dollars, and Mr.
Gardner predicts that before the ac
counts are closed we shall have paid
an amount equal to the first cost In
pensions. i
Already we have spent $3,222,414,-
678 on that account. There are mw
more Spanish war veterans on the
pension roll than the entire number
of Shatter's army in Cuba. In that
whole war there were 698 deaths
fromwounds, 6810 from all causes
including disease, and 93T8 casualties
of every description.
There have already been filed 69,
(87 applications for pensions on ac
count of that wop more than two
thlrds as many as were filed In the
same length of time after the civil
war, in which over seven times as
many men fought -15 times as long.
with the loss of over 50 times as many
lives and it Is estimated that in 2$
years from now the' number of Span
ish war pensioners will exceed 132,000
or about four times the number of
men that ever heard- a Spanish bullet
At that time we may expect to have
all told, about half a million pension
ers, even if we have no more wars In
the interval. Foreign critics who ac
cuse us of bellicose designs do not
realize how heavily we are bonded to
keep the peace. Collier's.

A Simple Sign
It was at the EAST END GROCERY
That she saw a simple sign.
And she stopped and slowly read It
While her blue eyes seemed to shin.
Then with scornful lips she mur
mured.
As she tossed her pretty hat.
How I wish that men were labeled
With a good, plain sign, like that"
So when she passed, I ventured
Near the EAST END GROCER'S shop
And espied this- simple legend:
This CORN warranted to POP."
And then the EAST END GROCER,
Smiling sweetly did appear.
And he kindly bade me enter.
Saving: "See what we have here."
And as my eyes gazea eagerly,
I soon saw the "CRESCENT" sign.
And found what I was looking for.

A finer line of groceries,
I never before had seen;
All the CRESCENT 3 RAND was rep

From Coffees down to Maplelne.
There I allowed my eyes to feast, '
With wonder and delight.
And I bought a goodly order.
