HP is tho man who Detective Ewing has been looking for for some time for stealing grain from the ears in the Fitchburg yard. The- detective made a search of his house yesterday and found about 15 bushels of gram and he also discovered where he had disposed of several bushels of corn and had re- ceived money for the same. Mr. McClen has been living for some time in i a little house which is situated on a steep bank near the coal switch anU the neighbors in that vicinity have complaining of the drunken brawls which have taken place there several times of late. It was but a short ago that the neighbors interfered i one of these quarrels, and although the wife- looked as though she was i worst of tho fight, she would not consent to have her husband arrested.

Sheriff Richards made tho arrest for wife beating. Detective Evving arrived last evening- and tho c-ompl-iint for stealing grain was entered by the detective this morning. McClen was in court this morning, and was found guilty of beating his wife. He was sentenced to a year in the house of correction at Pittsfield, from which he appealed. He was placed under $1000 bonds for his appearance before the January term of the superior court, the grand having finished its July pitting, and the bail was required from two bondsmen.

His mother, Mrs. John McClen, and Cyrus Ford, went bail for him to the amount of $SOfT each, and he- was released, lie was immediately placed under custody on the charge of robbing freight cars, and was placed under bonda of $10flO for trial July 2n. His mother and William Wisher went bail for him in this case. In court also was Ira McClen, who was fined $5 for beating a. horse.

TO REPAIR A CHURCH.

Rev. r.eorgp Merritt of South Wil- XVilliamstown. who has charge the Stone church at Swoft's Corners and the church at South Imfr rfcertly started a snbscriDtioi paper to raise money for the purpoE-; cf ic- palring- the interior nf the Stone church at Sweet's Corners, and has net i oxcellf-nt success. He started with the intention of raisiig $300 a days ago and has already raised a that sum and now expects to he to get S.iiO more. The paper was a i i by Mr.

Fisk, who is spending the summer at the Idlewild, with and several other wealthy men contributed the same amount. The church has been in rather bad shape for some time and has not been able to make the proper repairs. A new floor is to be put in, new upholstering- throughout. The walls will be newly painted and decorated. Mr.

FiFk, who headed the paper, has been a very liberal giver to the churches in South Williamstown, as two years ago he gave quite a large sum to the South Williamstown church. It is Mr. Merritt's wish to have the Stone church in perfect repair and the South Williamstown church clear from debt before he leave? college and it lool as though he will be able to do so. THOUGHT NIGHT WAS DAY. Charles Haulahan, a well known raH- man who is employed at the Fitchburg yard, became rather confused a short time ago and the boys are having trie laugh on him.

STORIES OF ROBERT BOMNER An Abscntminded "Is the cashier 1 "No; he's not." "When will he be "Can't say. He skipped for Canada about an hour ago." my luck! I'm his brother, and he took my hat by mistake this Statesman. HU Scrupulous In Hatters Involving ot Mosey. The late Robert Bonner's personal characteristics were pronounced, and be- carried most of his principles to an extreme point. His constant refusal to borrow money has-been mentioned many times, and the extent to which he carried this is exemplified by many stories that are told of him.

He paid off his employees every Saturday night, whether their nominal salary ran by the week or month. He always tried, too, to give exact change to each man, although he did not have it all counted out beforehand. Very frequently he would find himself short of small change in paying his stablemen off, and he ask one of his sons for change of a bill. If it happened that the son did not have enough change in his pocket, Mr. Bonner would not accept the loan even of a couple of dollars overnight, but would rather give a $5 bill for $3 in change.

Although confined to his bed on the Saturday night before his death, Mr. Bonner insisted that his son should pay all of the employees as usual. A story that Mr. Bonner was once turned out of school for defending a schoolmate against a charge of which he was innocent has been published, but is not. exactly true.

Mr. Bouner was never turned out of any school, but he did cause a good deal of excitement in one. His elder brother was about to be punished for an offense of which he was innocent, when Robert, "the old man," restrained the teacher by force. Both boys then remained out of school, with the approval of their parents, until the teacher apologized, says the New York Sun. Mr.

Bonner made many close friends among the well known men of his time. One of his most intimate friends was Henry Ward Beecher, who was a privileged character about the Ledger office. Mr. Bonner's private office was sacred ground to almost every one else. It was always piled high with documents, manuscripts, memoranda and exchanges," which Mr.

Bonner used stoutly to declare he had put in order within a few days. Mr. Beecher came in one day when Mr. Bonner was out and left, as a record of his presence, a sheet of foolscap, across which he had written with the editorial blue pencil: "Disorderly Robert. H.

W. Mr. Bonner was repeatedly urged to write an autobiography, but, while he never actually refused to do so, he never began it. If an authoritative biography is written hereafter it will probably be done by the Rev. Dr.

McIntosh, who has thought of the matter frequently. Mr. Bonner had a large collection of letters and memoranda. One of his most treasured souvenirs was the original manuscript of Edward Everett's speech to the women of America on the-purchase of Mount Vernon. Mr.

Everett gave him the manuscript bound in leather. As a sort of preface appears a copy of a letter inviting Mr. Everett to speak in New York city. It is signed by a score of New York's most prominent citizens, but Mr. Bonner's name is not among them, although the original let- ter'was in-his-handwriting.

It may bo a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we felt it a duty to say a good word for rha.mberlain's folic, rholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for 20 years and have always found it reliable.

In. many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on medicine for a cure, but we do believe a if bottle of Chamberlain's "Di-arrhoea, Kc-medy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attrK-k much suffering: might ho avoided and in very many capes the presence of physcian would not be required.

tbe Study of Zoology- By the time the University of Pennsylvania opens in the fall the new vi- varium will be ready for use. It is a substantial brick structure and is near the Biological hall. Although several vivaria are in existence in Europe this is the first to be constructed in the United States, says the Kew York Sun. It is intended to keep in it a few representatives of small living things in the animal kingdom, whether they be water or land forms of life. Host of them will be quite small, many of them being of microscopic size.

Speaking of the purpose of keeping living animals for study, Dr. Edwin G. Conklin, professor of embryology, said: ''There will always be on hand a constant supply of material for class work. At present it is impossible during the winter months to collect many living animals for study and there are no facilities for keeping the animals that are sent to the university. Consequently most of the work must be done upon their distorted remains.

The vi- varium in this respect will greatly in- the value and interest in the study of zoology. It will also give an opportunity for the study of natural history--that is, the habits, activities, and instincts of animals--such as no other university possesses."

"The manufacture of celebrities used to be a great industry In the north," continued the olcl reporter, "and that accounts for the surprising fact that long accepted geniuses turn out occasionally to be plain, everyday chumps. The phenonenon has never before been explained, and apropos of the subject I recall an interesting case somewhat on the line of the lawyer's which I have just narrated. About ten years ago a weekly paper was being launched in a large inland city, and the proprietors, in bristling around for clever contributors, happened to think of a woman writer who had done one or two promising things, but attracted no special attention. 'Let's make a contract with Miss they said, 'and then bull her stock." Their first step was to commission an graver to the handsomest portrait he could possibly turn out.

It bore a very faint resemblance to the original, but it was good to look at, and they sent electrotypes, with their compliments, to all the big papers of the country. Most of them were used, and as everybody is interested in a beautiful woman the scheme worked like a charm, and the authoress at once acquired a vogue. But, like Narcissus, she became enamored of her own reflection, and a metamorphosis immediately ensued. She gazed upon her counterfeit presentment and turned into a flower--the haughtiest rose in all the garden of letters.
