WAS A HOT RACE. But Cornell’s Freshman Crew Won It Plucky Columbia Was Not Far Behind at the Finish—They Made a Wonderful Spurt In the Last Half Mile—The Time Was 9 Minutes 211-5 Seconds. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 30.—Today opened very dismally with a slow, steady rain falling, but before noon a brisk breeze from the south drove the clouds away and the prospects for favorable race weather became bright. There were few people here during the forenoon, the knots of “rooters” looking pitifully small in comparison with the crowds of last week. It was hoped, how ever, that the afternoon trains from New York and Philadelphia would bring enough supporters of the different fresh men crews to keep the oarsmen from feel ing lonesome. There was plenty of time for them to arrive, as the race was sched uled to start at 6.30 p. m. Cornell won by three-fourths of a length. Columbia was second by one tbird of a length over Pennsylvania. The official time: Cornell, 9 minutes 211-5 seconds; Columbia, 9 minutes, 22 3-5 seconds: Pennsylvania, 9 minutes, 23 1-5 seconds. The freshman race over the two mile course here this afternoon between three American crews rowing with purely American methods, was one of the most remarkable in the annals of boat racing in this country. It was great, inspiring, magnificent. It was unlike any freshman race ever rowed because, the crews worked without that erraticalness that usually marks those events. The freshmen of Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania rowed with their heads as well as with their bodies, and showed science that was surprising. It was anybody’s race, and the fact that but two seconds divided the first and last crews, and that the boats lapped over eaoh other very nearly a half, is evidence of the character of the watched by a small sized crowd is a mis fortune for those who missed seeing it. The time is not record breaking, because Yale made the same course in nine minutes and nineteen and one-half seconds last Wednesday, but both Columbia, finishing second and Pennsyl vania, finishing third, made better time than did Harvard and Cornell, finishing in the same place last Tuesday. The feature of the race was the wonderful spurt made by the Columbia youngsters in the last half mile when they closed up a gap between themselves and Cornell so fast that had there been another eighth of a mile to row they would probably have been in first place. A second feature was the remarkable rowing of the Pennsyl vania crew which had been said by its trainer to be in very bad shape. This crew is a very much inferior crew to the Pennsylvania ’varsity crevr, and the critics are wondering whether Ellis Ward has not got something “up his sleeve’’ for Friday’s race. The race of today is looked upon as one of the most creditable ex hibitions ever given. The only criticism is that Dr. Walter Pest, the referee, kept the crews waiting so long at their stake boats with their oars dipped that the nervous strain took off at least two seconds from the time. There was some discussion and some quibbling over the result, both on the referee’s boat and on the press cars. The Associated Press time for Cornell with every facility for the greatest accuracy, was nine minutes, twenty seconds and three-fifths. The first official time given out was nine minutes and twenty-one seconds and the corrected time given out this evening was nine minutes, twenty one and one-fifth seconds. Cornell averaged 33 strokes a minute during the race for normal work, Penn sylvania 84 and Columbia 35. Columbia claims they would have won the race but for the crab caught by the stroke, and Refeee Peet confirms this statement in part. After Referee Peet, in his clumsy boat, which seemed to want the whole river to turn in, had kept the crews waiting at their stake boats for some five or six min utes, the youngsters showing the strain they were under, the pistol start was given and the crews were off. Pennsyl vania caught the water first with a swift, strong stroke that shoved the nose of her boat clearly ahead of the others. Cornell and Columbia started a trifle more easily and Cornell fell slightly to the rear of the New Yorkers. All started at a 36 stroke, but Cornell, true to her Court Columbia kept it up at 35, and Pennsyl vania was hitting away at 33. At the eighth of a mile, Pennsylvania was lead ing the Columbia boat by an eighth of a length, while Cornell was a quarter of a length behind the Columbia boat. Cor nell was rowing easily while the other two were fighting it out for first place. But the Cornell stroke had its effect, and at the quarter of a mile, Cornell had drawn up even with Columbia, while Pennsylvania still had her quarter length lead. Down to the half this con tinued, when Cornell drew up on Penn sylvania and away from Columbia. Viciously Pennsylvania hit the water and the boat seemed to fly in the effort to hold that lead, but slowly and surely the Cor nell boat went on inch by inch, shoving out beyond the Pennsylvanias. Colum bia, too, was coming along and the Penn sylvania lead of a quarter of a length was reduced in the next quarter to a bare eighth. Then the Quakers did fight for life, and down to the end of the first mile there was a terrific race for a place. So this continued for another half mile down to the mile and a half point. First the nose of the Pennsylvania boat vyould begin to draw away from the Colum bia and then Columbia would draw up on Pennsylvania. Entering the last it was clearly seen by the condition of the men in the three boats that there would be a struggle that would be memorable. At this point, Cornell had a lead of a quarter of a length over Pennsylvania and Columbia was an eighth of a length behind Pennsylvania. Columbia’s stroke oar caught a crab at this juncture and lost about four strokes, but quickly fell In. Cornell had made the lead three quarters of a length and was still going when that spurt started and when it was fairly under wav had a length advantage. Then the boat of Columbia seemed to lift itself out of the water, Pennsylvania responded with a thirty-five stroke, but the long shell of the New Yorkers fairly lifted itself along and went by the Pennsylvania boat and after the Cornell shell like a thing be witched. On it went, the bow lapping the rudderpost of the Cornell boat, and creep ing up towards the stroke oar. Frantical ly did the little sixteen year old coxswain call to the crew, and well did they re spond, but just as the nose of the boat lined even with the stroke bar of the Cor nell crew, the two boats crossed tho line and Cornell was a winner by three quarters of a length. Pennsylvania whipped in the last five strokes and flnisned only half a length behind Columbia. Not a man in either boat was 1 distressed after this remarkable exhibition. NEAR AT HAND. Is the Final Vote of the Tariff Bill in the Senate. TWO OF MOST IMPORTANT PRO VISIONS PERFECTED YESTERDAY. Senate*. Long Debate is at Last Ended— Measure Rushing Along at Railroad Speed—The Hawaiian Treaty of Reci procity Was Restored After a Brief Debate and Without the Formality of a Vote—TUI. Leave, the Treaty in Full Force and Effect. Washington, June 30.—As a result of the day’s work on the tariff bill, the close of the long debate in the Senate and the final vote on the bill is felt to he very near at hand. Two of the most important provisions, those relating to the Hawaiian treaty of reciprocity and the duty on coal, were perfected today, while another source of much conflict, the reciprocity section, was matured by the finance com mittee and presented to the Senate. Aside from these larger items a great many minor ones which have caused more or less conflict were disposed of. The Hawaiian provision of the House bill was restored after brief debate and without the formality of a vote. This has the effect of leaving the Hawaiian treaty of re ciprocity in full force and effect. During the day Mr. Turpie of Indiana, spoke in support of the amendment for a two per cent tax on inheritances. His speech was notable for its picturesque mataphors and virulence of his denunciation of the pend ing bill. _ Washington, June Ju.—in the senate today, Mr. Perkins of California, pre sented a telegraphic memorial in favor of the annexation of Hawaii. The tariff bill was taken up and Mr. Quay of Pennsylvania gave notice of a re consideration of paragraph 118, iron ore, his purpose being to secure further action on the clause inserting Manganese ore at $1 per ton. He said he would not urge the subject until he had consulted the finance committee. Mr. Allison then proceeded with the de tached paragraph heretofore passed over. On bleaching powder the duty was changed from 1-4 to 1-5 cents per pound. Sir. Vest moved to place the article on the free list and an extended debate en sued on the use of bleach in paper pulp factories. Mr. Gray of Delaware contended that bleach was not made in_ this country so that the duty was an unwarranted burden on the paper makers, wood pulp makers, etc. Ho presented a protest from the paper manufacturers of Massachusetts, against the proposed duty. Mr. Allison insisted that the rate de signed to make the United Alkali com pany of England, which controlled the product, to pay something into the treas ury for this trade. Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire stated that the production of lead was being built up in this country and that the in dustry would be destroyed if this duty was withheld. It was essentially an in fantry industry. “An unborn infant,” remarked Mr. Gray. Mr. Gallinger said that while there were paper factories in his section, yet he must in this instance disregard their protests against the duty Just as he would have disregarded the protests from New England against the duty on hides, had he been present when the vote was taken. “I am a national protectionist,” stated Mr. Gallinger, “and in favor of protect ing all industries alike, north, south, east and west.” Mr. Allen of Nebraska asserted that the doctrine of protection had never been more boldly stated than by Mr. Gallin ger. It was plain admission that duties were not imposed for revenue, but because they would transfer money from the pockets from one class of people into those of another class. That was about as near confiscation as the caprice of Con »uum pw um,. At this stage Mr. Turpie of Indiana took the floor for a speech in support of the amendment proposed by the minority of the finance committee, for a tax of y per cent on inheritance over *5000. After asserting that the tariff bill would not provide sufficient revenue, Mr. Turpie said that no measure had ever been pre sented making “so large and unprovoked a spoliation of the world’s commerce.” There was “compound larceny” in near ly every schedule. One third of the bill was a declaration of war against France, Germany and the continent of Europe. We had hopefully looked toward the trade of South America, but this bill made it almost a penal offence to carry on trade with the people of the Southern repub lics. Mr. Turpie denounced the protective system in bitter terms, his unique figures of speech attracting much attention. Re ferring to the enormous bounty to go to the wool manufacturers he declared it was not for the interest of the sheep, but for the wolf in sheep’s clothing who would strip from tho babe in its cradle the articles essential to its use. We had developed in this country a new breed of animals. They are the tariff swine, ex claimed Mr. Turpie, the high protective tariff swine. They are ferocious feeders with fierce appetites and a regard only for the infant industy of bristles. Mr. Turpie spoke for about two hours and received close attention owing to the picturesqueness of his utterrances. He closed with a reference to the silver ques tion, asserting that there was no more right to abandon the free coinage of sil ver than to abandon tho free coinage of gold. The debate then came back to the amendment on bleaching powder. After further debate the committee pro vision making the duty on bleaching powder 1-5 cent per pound was agreed to, 30-27, Mr. Butler of North Carolina moved to place gypsum on the free list; rejected, 31 to 30. The paragraph was then agreed to with the changes proposed by the com mittee. A change was made on fullers earth, the clause which led to the controversy between Messrs. Platt and Pettigrew last Saturday. Mr. Platt said an understanding had been reached, making fullers earth un wrought $2 per ton; wrought or manu factured, H per ton. In the same para graph the rate on asphaltum, eto., crude, was changed from $1.50 to $1.25 per ton, Mr. Vest opposing the changes, but they were ugreed to, 36-22. Beans were made 40 cents per bushel. Seeds, not otherwise provided for, was changed from 40 per cent to 25 per cent ad valorem. Tho Hawaiian treaty provision was then taken up. Mr. Allison stated that it had been determined to retain the House proviso to paragraph 206, relating to sugar, as follows: Provided that nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to abrogate or in any manner impair or affect the pro visions of the treaty of commercial re ciprocity concluded between tho United States and the King of the Hawaiian isl ands, January 30. 1875, for the provisions of any act of Congress heretofore passed for the executions of the same. The motion was carried without yeas and nays. Mr. Allison briefly explained that in view of the treaty of annexation, which had been made, it seemed best to retain tho House provision leaving the recipro city treaty in statu quo. The proposal to concur in the House provision was then agreed to. Paragraph 394 (surface coated paper), and 395 c, were agreed to with the modifi cations heretofore agreed to by the finance fcommittee. Coal (404) was then taken up. Mr. Allison submitted changes making the duties on bituminous coal and all coal containing less than 92 per cent fixed carbon and shale, 67 cents per ton of 28 bushels,80 pounds to the bushel, coal slack or culm, such as will pass through a half inch screen, 15 cents per ton; coke, 20 per cent ad valorem. The Senate proviso was omitted relating to certain reciprocal trade on coal. Mr. Allen denounced the duty on coal, declar ing that it served to enrich the ooal barons and not to ameliorate the condit ions of the miners. Mr. Allison gave notice of a new sec tion of the bill relating to reciprocity as follows: ■Whenever the President of the United States, with a view to secure reciprocal trade with foreign countries shall with in the period of two years from and after the passage of this act, enter into com mercial treaty or treaties with any other country or countries, concerning the admission into any such country or coun tries of the goods, wares and merchan dise of the United States and their use and disposition therein, deemed to be for such treaty or treaties in consideration of the advantage accruing to the United States therefrom, shall provide for the reduction during a specilied period not exceeding live years of the duties imposed by this act, to the extent of not more than 20 per cent thereof upon such goods, wares or merchandise as may be designat ed therein of the country or countries with which such treaty or treaties shall be made as in this section provided for or shall provide for the transfer during such period from the dutiable list of this act to the free list thereof of such goods, wares, and merchandise, being the nat ural products of such foreign country or countries and not of the United States and shall provide for the retention upon the free list of this act during a specilied period not exceeding live years of such goods, wares and merchandise now in cluded in said free list as may be desig nated therein; and when such treaty shall havo been duly ratified and proclamation made accordingly, then and thereafter the duties shall be collected by the Unit ed States upon the designated goods, wares and merchandise from the foreign conn try with which such treaty has been made shall, during the period provided for, he the duties specified and provided for in such treaty and none other. The reciprocity amendment went over at Mr. Allison’s request. The vote was then taken on the coal paragraph as changed and it was agreed to, 31-24. Mr. Vest said the coal paragraph revo lutionized the rates on coal as the-text although of doubtful meaning, was so framed as to include anthricite coal. One Democrat, Mr. McBnery, and Messrs. Teller and Mantle voted with the Republicans in the affirmative,and Messrs. Kyle and Heitfeldt with the Democrats in the negative. Mr. White moved a proviso to the coal paragraph allowing a drawback of duty on coal brought into the country and af terwards used by American vessels in the coasting trade. The proviso went over. The rate on feathers and downs, not dressed, was changed to 25 per cent ad valorem, the balance of the paragraph being agreed to. In paragraph on diamonds and other precious stones (425), the rate was changed to 10 per cent ad valorem and the com mittee amendment at the ond of the para graph withdrawn. The House paragraph (443) relating to paintings in oil or water colors, statuary, etc., was restored,the duty being changed from 25 to 30 per cent ad valorem. The amendment was modified so that statues shall not include the pedestal on which it is placed. Peat moss was agreed to as in the House bill at $11 per ton. In pencils of paper or wood (445), the duty was changed to 45 cents per gross and 25 per cent ad valorem, the remain at ■4-Vwx novormi'nli Vutincr orrrom) fn no reported. The free list was then taken up and further perfected. In paragraph 470, (articles returned af ter having been exported), the committee amendments were withdrawn and the House provision agreed to with slight modifications. Tho paragraph (473 1-2), placing cotton bagging on the free list, went over by general consent, also burlaps, (493 1-3.) Charcoal and coal tar products went over. Mr. Quay stating that it had been agreed upon in caucus that these articles were to go on tho dutiable list. Paragraphs 425, diamonds, etc., in tho rough, was changed to include the free admission of jewels used in the manu facture of watches and clocks. Fashion plates (532), were taken from tho free list, being made dutiable else where, also (534 1-2), fence posts, floor matting (537 1-2), went over. "Bleaching powder (578), was struck from the free list. Mineral salts (592), was restored to the free list as in the House bill. A new paragraph (007 1-2),was inserted, placing paris green and london jiurple on thq free list. Paragraph 615 was changed so as to leave only terra alba on the. free list. Paragraph 628, covering seeds on the free list was modified to omit beet, radish and spinach seeds and sugar beet seed was restored to the free list. In paragraph 668, woods, deal 6Dds was added to the free list. A new paragraph (648 1-2), was added to the free list, viz: Foreign postage stamps and uncancelled. The following paragraphs of the free list wero agreed to as reported: 530, emery ore; 535 1-2, fish caught in the Great Fakes, etc., for American fisher men or citizens of the United States; 546, grass; 558, indigo; 636 1-2, skins and hides not otherwise provided for. Mr. Bacon of Georgia gave notice of a new paragraph (517 1-2), placing cotton ties for baling cotton cut to lengths with or without buckles on the free list. The amendment went over. Quite a numbor of the minor para graphs of the free list went over for fu ture consideration. At 6.15 p. m. tho bill was laid aside and after an executive session the Senate adjourned. THEIR SCHOOL DAYS OVER. The Class of ’97 P. H. S. Makes a Graceful Exit Diplomas Given to Eighty-nine Young Ladies and Gentlemen. For the first time in the history of the Portland High school a pouring rain ushered in the day. It is evident that the clerk of the weather thought Portland High” finished on last Wednesday as a majority of the class declare it should have done. Before 2 o’clock, however,the rain prac tically ceased, and by the time the proces sion of white-robed maidens began to alight from their carriages at City hall, the pavements were dry,even if the skies still lowered. The usual crush of fond parents and admiring friends filled the hall to over flowing. A veritable sea of flowers surged from wall to wall, with here and there a masculine head betokening the inter est of a proud papa. The Fourth of July decorations are in place and added to the brightness of the scene. The junior class decorated the stage.according to custom, streamers of blue and white, the class colors, were tastefully combined as a background, in the centre of which was a sun-burst of white, with a blue globe in which ’97 appeared in letters of silver, with the initials of the class motto “Non Scholae sed uitae,” at the right and left. An antique lamp at'either side with lighted torches, very cleverly arranged with the aid of small electric lights, symbolized the progress of knowledge ac cording to the idea of the ancients. The decorating committee were Messrs. George Fogg, chairman, Bert Larrabee, John Stevens, Ralph Thomas, Misses Maud Borden, Kate Hay, Emma Morse, May Libby assisted by Shailer Cushing. The class numbers 89—48 girls and 13 boys, having successfully completed the general course, and 14 boys and 14 girls the classical course. Of this number a large proportion will enter college in the autumn, being distributed among the universities ot learning as follows: Smith—Mildred W. Dewey, Florence Hinkley, Elizabeth J. Whipple, Jane B. Morse. Wellesley—Madeleine C. Baxter. Mt. Hoyloke—Ethel S. Osgood. Radcliffe—Velma W. Millay. Boston University—Gertrude A. Curtis. THE WEATHER.

Powderly Is Not It It. Washington, June 3J.—There was a strong intimation given at the Whitf House today that the President would neither select T.V. Powderly or ex-Repre sontative Keffer as immigration commis sioner, but probably would appoint W, G. Edens of Galesburg, 111, Bowdoin—Kenneth C. M. Sills, Charles Sawyer, Edward Fenley, Fred Hayden, John C. Cobh, Jr., D. M. Crossman, Geo. H. Turner, Jr., Theodore Wills. Dartmouth—Millard A. Bowdoin, Ed ward J. Devine, Ralph W. Grant, Henry C. Sullivan. Harvard—Philip E. Coyle. Promptly at 2.30 the class filed upon the platform followed by the members of the school committee and the teachers. The exercises began with the class song written by Miss Ethel S. Osgood, music by Miss Grace E, M. Farrington, and showed no small poetic and musical ability The salutatory was given by Miss Edith F. Pancoast, and for the first time the classic tongue was forsaken for the Eng lish. After the usual introductions the new education was compared with the old. Miss Mary E. Dunham recited one of Eugene Field’s poems with pleasing effect,Miss Elizabeth J.Whipple’s essay on Homer,contained a graceful allusion to the Literary Union’s recent gift to the High school. Miss Whipple’s subject was well thought out and clearly presented. Tho song Nymphs and Fairies was charmingly rendered by Miss Harriette L. Pike. Miss Marie M. Hanson gave an able essay on Prince and Peasant, which had the true patriotic ring. Mrs. Lofter’s Ride, was recited by Miss Cornelia W. Pickard with dramatic effect. In Old Town Meeting Days Miss Bessie H. Allen gave a graphic sketch of the meetings in ancient Falmouth Town, and very cleverly alluded to some of tho recent burning topics of the day which have agitated the city fathers of the present. The Prairie Quartette was brilliantly rendered by Misses Burrowes, Fessenden, Goudy and Mr. Howard M. Dodge. Forrest’ E. Mann’s recitation, The Burning of Moscow, was finely rendered. The Yankee Girl, a charming New England story, by Miss Jane Beckett Morse was a fine bit of writing. Miss Anna R. Morrill recited the “Sons of Maine” as only a daugther of Maine could recite it. Mr. Millard A Bowdoin won an encora by his fine singing of De Koven’s “Turnkey Song.” The class poem. Our Class Colors, by Miss Alice M. Grosstuck was a pleasing conception of the symbols of the blue and white, and contained many fine lines. Mr. Kenneth C. M. Sills the valedic torian, chose for his subject, School Spirit, which he treated in a broadly democratic and eloquent manner. Dr. Vose, chairman of the High school committee, then made a brief and appro priate address, after which the diplomas were conferred. His Honor, Mayor Randall, followed with an earnest address of congratulation to the fortunate winners of the Brown medals Edith F. Pancoast,MarieJM. Han sen, Mildred J. McClinock, Jane B. Morse, Elizabeth T. Whipple, Kenneth C. M. Sills, Edward T. Fenley, Ralph W. Grant, Frank L. Hayden, Frank C. Chase. Taken all in all it was one of the most successful graduations of our High school. The marked improvement in carriage has been noticeable since the introduction of physical culture, the bearing of the young ladies and gentlemen yesterday left little to be desired, The School Days of Atild Lang Syne— closed the exercises. The usual informal reception was hel d in Reception hall immediately afterward. At eight o’clock a banquet was given at tho Preble. Mr. and Mrs. Albro Chase, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy L. Hight and the presidents of ’97 and ’9S being guests of the class. Mr. Edward A. Hall, president of ’97, presided. The prophecies by Miss Mildred W. Dewey and Mr. Carl R. Doten, were exceedingly bright. The class history, written by Miss Ethel Berry, was. read by Miss Cornelia W. Pickard, as Miss Berry’s recent bereavement pre vented her attendance. Impromptu toasts followed, Miss Isabelle Goudy’s response for the gentlemen, being especially mirth provoking. At eleven o'clock adjourn ment was had to Gilbert’s where dancing was enjoyed until the fair dawn awoke in the East. POWDER Absolutely Pure ROYAL RAKING POWDER CO., MBW YORK.

COLBY’S SEVENTY-SEVENTH Contiu«e*3 from First X’njre. *8B The after dinner speeches were perhaps more interest! eg than any ever heard at a Colby commencement dinner, two ad drosses of particular interest being,one by Joseph Colby, son of Gardiner Colby, for whom the college was named, who paid his first visit to the institution, and the other by the veteran diplomat and states man J. H. M. Currie, himself an ex-Con federate soldier, but whose allusion to Colby's dead heroes whose names are in scribed on the tablet in Memorial hall, was one of those flashes of eloquence which are as thrilling as they are rare. After the dinner, which was the best, so one alumnus said, which had ever been served in the hall, President Butler called the attention of the company to the words which they were to hear from some of those who had gathered there. Before calling upon those who had been invited to speak, Mr. Butler made a few remarks upon the condition of the college and the problems which confront it today, which he said were of unusual difficulty and whlch'called for the utmost wisdom to solve. “The institution has outgrown its clothes,” he said, “and what is more, these contracted garments hamper it so that it cannot do the work^which it ought to do. He bore testimony to the earnest work and unity of purpose of the board of trustees and assured the friends of the college that its interests were safe in the hands of its members. The first speaker called upon was Gov. Llewllyn Powers who.while not an alum nus of the institution was a student in the college for a time. Gov. Powers was given a hearty ova tion when he arose to speak. He thanked those present for the cordiality of the greeting and expressed his pleasure at be ing able to meet and greet the faculty and trustees of the college. “I cannot come here,” he aid, “but my mind goes back to the time when I had the good fortune to receive a part of my education here, and I can only regret that I was unable or thought at the time that I was unable to complete the course. I was especially gratified in hearing the exercises this fore noon and know that the college is doing excellent work.” The Governor, in an earnest way, which showed that he meant it, thanked the col lege for the degree which had been con ferred upon him. “It will,” he said, “form a new bond between myself and the college, and a new incentive if any is needed to that sincere love which I feel for the institu tion.” Hon. Robert O. Fuller of Cambridge, a member of the board of trustees who followed Gov. Powers made the wittiest v speech of the afternoon. “What is lovelier than a day in June,” he said as he arose and glanced out at the leaden skies and J mist ladened atmosphere, and the remark put the company in humor for what fol lowed. He said he had long wished to know what it was that made Maine so prominent in the councils of the nation, and he had discovered the answer on the bill of fare of the Phi Beta Kappa dinner and had found the same thing on that which he had 6een today. It was “Native tongue:” In the course of his remarks he faced Sam Osborne, the famous colored janitor of the college. Mr. Fuller said that in the titles which had been conferred by the college, one faithful servant had by some Strangs oversight been forgotten. Dr. Butler interrupted the speaker to say that Sam was called and considered the first officer of the institution. “I know.” said Mr. Fuller, “but I have a title which I propose to confer upon him. We have the grand old man of Eng land and I propose to call this faithful servant, theJGrand Olo| Sam.” The broad smile which had been grow ing broader and broader upon the face of the aged darkey now developed into a suppressed, but prolonged chuckle, and his ourly head shook with merriment while the applause almost raised the roof of the building. “Students may come and students may go,” pursued the speaker, when quiet had been restored, “presidents may come and presidents may go, but Sam goes on for ever,” and the applause was renewed. President Butler here introduced Joseph Colby, of Newton Centre, Mass., as the next speaker, and all eyes were involun tarily turned to the son of the man who jave Colby University its name, and who was the one person above all others who made possible the gathering here today. By a strange coincidence the gentleman as he rose stood beside the mammoth oil portrait of the great philanthropist, which hangs upon the wall of Memorial hall, and an opportunity was afforded of com paring the features of father and son. While the close relationship of the two men does not strike one at first, a closer study shows the same lines of dignity and benevolence traced upon the younger man that his father bore. Mr. Colby is an easy but not an eloquent speaker. After expressing his pleasure at being able to make this his first visit to the college, he devoted his remarks mainly to reminiscences cf his father, and he could not, of course have chosen a subject which would have been Green Greener Greenest Croen fruls, greener small bey—Hherc arc others,* I ^ro-.iiciu rvks* will cover them it care is not at this somou of year about eating green or t.ijuri.xl fruit.

After he pulled off his boots and I had brought him his slippers, lie said to me, ‘Joe I htive given $50,COO to Waterville college.’ “I didn’t fully appreciate at the time what he had done, but I knew that he was making an investment,that as ho did whenever he made any kind of an invest ment he had given it due thought and consideration and I knew that it was right.” Mr. Colby spoke of the personal chracteristics of his father, of his firm ness, decision of character, his business methods and his uniform courtesy in his association wirh men. He expressed the opinion that tho various Baptist societies shmld be united and said that a saving of $00,000 a year could thereby be made. He expected to see the time when all denominations should unite in this kind of work. An incident now occurred which stirred the emotion of the gathering, more per haps than any speech made at a Colby alumni dinner over did. President Butler introduced as the speaker to follow Mr. Colby, Hon. J. L. M. Currie of Washing ton, ex-minister to Spain, ex-member of Congress and one of the trustees of Columbian University in Washington. Mr. Currie spoke in eulogistic terms of the State of Maine and said that one of the two most eloquent men he ever heard in his life was the late Sargent S. Pren tiss. After a few words in a quiet way in this line, the speaker turned his face towards the tablet erected to the mem ory of the Colby students who had lost their lives in the War of the Rebellion, raised his voice and spoke in impassioned tones and with rare eloquence: “I rejoice to be standing here,” he said, “under this roof. I was a Confederate soldier, vet it coves me distinctive pleasure to be able to stand within the precincts of a memorial hall to men who dared to stand up even unto death for the principles that had been in stilled into their very being. I do not want to revive dead issues, but standing here I say that I can cordially clasp the hand that gave me my scars, that I can cheer the old flag and that I can shout for joy that the stars all remain upon the grand ensign of our nation.” Continuing still in an eloquent vein, the veteran diplomat spoke of the bless ings of a Democracy which accorded to every man the right to fill the station for which nature had endowed him. President Harris of the University of Maine, spoke a good word for the work Colby was doing. He said that it had been his pleasure to meet many of the politicians of Maine during the past winter, a remark which produced a very audible ripple of laughter, and that he had found that they exerted a command ing influence in the state legislature. He expressed his best wishes for Colby. Hon. Leslie C. Cornish secretary of the board of trustees, referring to the words of ex-Minister Currie, recalled the time when Memorial hall was dedicated. Mr, Cornish spoke of the college’s need of funds ana urged the alumni to do all in their power to supply this need, declaring that it was a debt of honor they owed to t he college. Prof. Anthony of Bates college, brought hearty greetings from the Androscoggin. He spoke in a complimentary way of the commencement orations of the members of the graduating class. The last speaker was the Hon. Albert W. Paine of Bangor, of the class of ’S3 the oldest living graduate of the college. The veteran lawyer read his address, which consisted mainly of reminiscences of the early days of the college. The rather unsteady voice of the old man fell on eager ears, and when he had finished he was given as hearty an ovation as any of tho speakers that had preceded him. President Butler then alluded to several gifts in a small way, which the college had received within a short time and the exercises closed with the singing of a song, composed by some student of long ago. The president’s reception in Memorial hail in the evening closed the events of the week, and the seventy-seventh annuel commencement of Colby was at an end. The following honorary degrees were conferred: LL.D.—Hon. Llewllyn Powers or Houl ton; Hon. Alfred E. Buck, ’68, of Atlan ta, Ga. A. m,— Dr. E, E. Holt of Portland; Rev. J. A. Ford of Eastport. D.

Degree of liaehelnr of Arts Conferred on 383 Graduates. Cambridge, Mass., June 80.—The com mencement day exercises at Harvard were held today and another large class of graduates completed their courses. The weather, however, was rainy and disagreeable. At 9.45 o’clock the seniors and other candidates for degrees assembled in line in front of Old Holworthy hall. Governor Wolcott and his staff who had been escorted to Cambridge by the National Lancers, his body guard, were met in front of Massachusetts hall by the over seers, members of the college corporation and the faculty of various departments.

Bear Bad Collision of Special Sections Sent Out IS Minutes Apart—Delegates to San Francisco Convention Meet With Terrible Disaster at the Start—List of Mangled Dead and Fatally Wounded. Chicago, June 30.—Three persons were killed outright and about twenty or thirty persons injured in a rear end collision on the Chicago and Northwestern railroad at 1.4b o’clock this morning at West Chicago, thirty miles out of Chicago on the Galena division. The dead: John Godding and Mrs. R. Shipman, Appleton, Wis.; unidentified, man riding between the engine and bag gage car, supposed to be a tramp. The injured: Mrs. M. M. Baird, Neenah, Wis.; Mrs. Daisy Blackwood, Depree, Wis.; Miss A. E. Fifer, Green Bay, Wis.; injured about the head; W. H. Finney, Oconto, Wis.; Mrs. Algernon Galhin, Appleton, Wis.; W. D.

The victims of the collision wore Christian Endeavor delegates who left Chicago last night en route for the great convention in San Francisco. The collid ing trains were sections number4 and 5 of a Christian Endeavor special sent out in nine sections beginning at 10.30 p. m. Section five ran into section four, which lelt Chicago fifteen minutes ahead of-it. Section four carried tho Wisconsin dele gation, nearly five hundred strong, and In the rear sleeper were people from Fond Du Lac, Greeenbay, Appleton and other Wisconsin points. The officials of the Northwestern rail road tonight mi In the following state ment concerning the accident which oc curred on their road at West Chicago early this morning: “There were only tdo sleepers dam aged. They were the Coldspring and Gar rison, conveying delegates fj;om Wiscon sin »to the Christian Endeavor conven tion at San Francisco. Three ptfpple were killed outright and 19 injured. .The in jured have all been taken to Stl.Liike’s hospital, and the physicians in atten dance say they will all recover. Tho ac cident occasioned no detention to the nu merous special trains carrying Christian Endeavor people front the East. Engineer Courtney declares the signal displayed denoted a clear track. He also says that he was running carefully and that there was ample time to stop his train after he had sighted the train in front, but for some reason or other the airbrakes refused to work. As they were in good order at Dixon, five miles back, he believes that tramps intentionally or accidentally tampered with them. Naturalization papers recently taken out in New York showed the name of the tramp killed to be Rode, a native of Ger many. He was about 45 years old. «S_. SHAW WANTED MONEY. And When it Was Refused Shot His Wife, Daughter and Himself. Somerville, Mass., June 30.—A tene ment house on Evergreen avenue was the soene of an attempted double murder and suicide shortly before seven o’clock to night. Robert Shaw, an Englishman 55 years of age, a fruit peddlar, shot his wife three times, attempted to shoot, his stepdaughter and fired a bullet from a 38 calibre re volver into his own throat. Shaw and his wife are now in the hospital, both in u cnuvtti uuuuiiiun vviiu iuu uiicllices 6lightly more favorable for his wife’s re covery than for his own. The daughter received only a flesh wound. Shaw married the woman, who is his second wife, about three years ago, she having a family of six children, and the marriage occuring within three months after the death of his first wife, caused a great deal of hard feeling toward him among the children. For the past six months Shaw has not lived with his wife, although he has called at the house where she lived with her children nearly every day. He was addicted to liquor, and was under its influence when he called at the house this evening. It is supposed that he asked his wife for money, and that she refused him. MURDER ON A BATTLESHIP. Master-at-Arins T. J. Kenney Stabbed by Drunken Sailor. New York, June 80.—Thomas J. Ken ney, master at arms of the battleship Indiana, was murdered tonight on board the ship anchored at the Brooklyn navy yard. Phillip F.

You Probably Have and May Have Spoken About It* The reader of this newspaper, if he takes the time and trouble to look care fully through its columns, will probably find half a dozen statements taoked onto the bottom of reading notices about med icinal preparations. Note this fact. In each and every case as far as Portland is concerned; as far as the reader’s knowl edge of the party is concerned, he might as well live in the moon. Make another note of this. The only remedy on the market that gives testimony at home, lo cal proof in every town and city of the Union, to back up its claims, is Doan’s Kidney Pills. They all try it, but they cannot do it. Why they are unable to do it, can safely bo left with the reader to draw his own conclusions. Here is Port land proof for Portland readers. Mr. Chas. A. Beale, of No. 20 Boyd St., says “Doan’s Kidney Pills did me a world of good. I was ailing for some time with my kidneys and back. If I lay down for a while and then got on my feet I was so lame that I could hardly move. I was all right if I took anything from a shelf higher than my bead, but just the moment I bent over with it, that moment it caught me. The bladder was not in a healthy condition for the kidney secretions annoyed me particularly at night. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills adver tised to rectify such troubles and I went to the drug store of H. H. Hay Sons, at the junction of Free and Middle Streets, and procured them. Their action was prompt and permanent for I have had no trace of my old trouble since I stopped using them.” Doan’s Kidney Pills are sold for 60 cents, by all dealers.

FREE [SILYER RULED Tlie Democrats of Ohio Who Were in Convention Yesterday. Horace I. Chapman wai Nominated as a Candidate for Governor on the Second Ballot—Bryan’a Picture was the Center of Attraction While the Portrait# of Senator Brice, rnevAlnnrl mill OfliAi* rinld TYf*»n WflrA Not in the Collection. Columbus, Ohio, Juno 30.—The Demo cratic state convention here today was the most largely attended of any such occa sion since the civil war. At that time there were some Massachusetts conven tions which attracted larger crowds, but no stato convention in recent years has equalled the present one in attendance. The Columbus auditorium with a seating capacity of six thousand had just been completed for the convention and its capacity was not equal to the demands for admission. The new auditorium was beautifully decorated with bunting and plants. There was a profusion of protraits of Democratic leaders about the walls, but those of ex-President Cleveland, Senator Brice and other gold men were not in the collection. The Ohio State convention last year was not as strongly for free silver as the con vention of today, and in the convention one year ago there was some disturbance because of uttempt to “turn the picture of Cleveland to the wall.” The familiar picture of William J. Bryan was the center of attraction and that of the late Allan G. Thurman was quite conspicuous. Last year when John R. McLean was elected to head the Ohio delegation to Chicago, W. W. Durbin was made' chairman of the Stato central com mittee and ho was re-elected last night by the McLean influence, while Daniel Mc Lean was also re-elected chairman of the executive committee. The convention was called to order at ten o’clock this morning by Chairman Durbin. He congratulated the party on the enthusiast ic condition of the party and made a speech for free silver. Prayer was offered by Rev. P. L. Rexford, pastor of the Universalist church in this city, and then Hon. Ulrio Sloane was in troduced as the temporary chairman of the convention. Names were presented for nomination for governor as follows: Paul Sorg, by Allen Andrews; Allen D. Smalley by E. B. Finley; Allen W.Thurman, by Benton W. Childers; D. D. Donovan, by Dr. J. Garrett; R. T. Hough, by Jesse L. Leads; Horace L. Chapman, by Wm. Fink; S. M. Hunter, by John McSweeney, Jr.; X. M. Vanmeter, by S. F. Garrett; A. W. Patrick, by J. H. Mitchell; James A. Rice, by John Reed. When Stark county was called it was announced that the countv had no name to present. This meant that John C. Welty, the neighbor of President McKin ley at Canton, had withdrawn. The name of Mayor James A. Rico of Canton, was afterwards presented instead of Mr. Welty. Before the ballot proceeded the name of Hon. Robert T. Hough was withdrawn by Hon. Jesse L. Lewis. Owing to the cheering on the announce ment of the names of favorites and other confusion, the call of the eighty-eight counties proceeded slowly. In tho ballot of Hamilton county, the home of John R. McLean, divided its vote almost equally between the candi dates to contradict tho report that McLean was dictating the state nominations. Highland county, the homo of Hough, cast its solid vote for Chapman, and this was taken to indicate that the McLean men had withdrawn Hough in favor of Chapman. Before tho ballot was completed Joseph Dowling withdrew the name of Paul J. Sorg and moved to suspend the rules and nominate Horace L. Chapman by accla mation. Great confusion followed and the chair could not control the convention. Mr. Chapman is a large owner and operator of coal mines in Jackson and other counties. He has also participated in Democratic campaigns but has never held any offico and has never before been a candidate. He has never had a strike in his mills and is popular with the miners. The motion of Mr. Dowling was de clared out of order and pandomonium reigned for some time. There were 959 votes cast with 480 necessary for a choice. The first ballot for governor resulted as follows: Sorg, 118; Smalley, 128 3-4; Thurman, 78; Donovan, 100 8-4; Chap man, 241 1-2; Hunter, 61: Van Meter, 29; Patrick, 60; Rice, 113; Reeves, 17; War ner, 3; Lentz, 9. It was announced that there was no nomination, and a motion to suspend the rules and nominate by acclamation could not be entertained as longas there were more than one name tho convention. During the second ballot there were several disturbances and more delay than during the first ballot, when order could not be preserved. There was a wild scene when Hamilton county east its 76 votes solid for Chapman. After Hamilton county went for Chap man tho tide set in for him, and the latter part of the roll call was made with less difficulty. Cuyohaga, Montgomery and other large counties also went for Chapman, while the smaller counties stuck to their local favorites. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Boston Team Badly Demoralized But Still in the Bing—Klobedanz and Yeager Are Injured and Unable to Play—Bal timore Defeats New York—No Games in Maine Teague. Boston, June 30.—Boston won out an other game in the ninth inning today from Brooklyn, although their team is in a rather broken up condition. Klobedanz split a finger in the morning practicing, and Lewis was put in the box. Yeager broke a bone in his left hand and will not be ablo to play for two or three weeks. Stahl’s fielding was a feature as well as Long’s, and Collin’s batting and Griffin’s center field work. Smith’s error in the ninth was the critical point in the game, and Stivetts, as usual was on hand with a rattling hit that brought in the win ning run. The score: Boston, 140020 00 2—9 Brooklyn, 40011002 0—8 Base hits—Boston, 15; Brooklyn, 9. Er rors—Boston, 4; Brooklyn, 5. Batteries— Lewis and Yeager, Ganzel; Payne, Dunn and Grim.

It was the land of “Ma-voo-shan,” of the Saga dahoc estuary, and Cape Small Point headlands. The relation of the Goenold findings further excited the maritime in terests of the west of England and stimu lated the famous Waymouth survevoftht Gosnold discoveries to fix “fit and con venient places” for planting English homes, ending in the contract of April 10, 1606 and the colonial planting of 1®, at Sagadahoc, Sheepscot and Peimquld, and of Bristol, on the coast of Maine a daughter of Bristol, the home of Cabot in England, and the foster mother of both.

Powers is now a doctor of laws, made so by Colby university yesterday. senator aiorgan nas suuuemy ueveiopea great affection for our pensioners. The Greeks are to be feared even then offering gifts, Tillman continues to enliven what without his eloquence would be a very dull debate. But the socklcss Simpson is completely dumb. No doubt a stamp'tax on checks would be a bother to business men, but it can be said in its favor that it would general ly fall on people who were damply able to bear it. The prospect that Congress will have finished its tariff revision on or soon after the Fourth of July affords good reason for an enthusiastic and old time celebra tion of the day. A despatch reports that a Chicago man has been arrested for stealing a two store house and moving it a mile. Further particulars will doubtless explain the strange fact that the lot remained intact. The Chicago Record observes that Mr. Bryan exhibits the patient industry in travelling from place to place of a man who would deem it a great privilege to be on speaking terms with every voter at the time of election. It is stated that nearly half the passen gers upon the transatlantic steamers these days carry bicycles as baggage. They land at South Kensington and there tako their wheels,‘doing the Isle of Wight and the seaside resorts in southern Eng land before going to London. The Boston Herald doubts if the Gold Democrats longer flock with the Republi cans. But where will they gof The Sil ver Democrats have repeatedly notified them that they oonsider them traitors and will not, have them on any terms. Alone by themselves they will make a very meagre showing. Should the heavens take on a deeply livid aspect in the directionTof Brooklyn on Independence^day it might tend to al lay undue anxiety to call attention to the fact that Altgeld is expected to harangue the faithful then and there, and most likely the sparks will fly—of anarchism of course. A young woman has just been appoint ed deputy sheriff in one of the counties of Utah. As the woman is said to be very good looking fears are expressed that her appointment may tend to put a premium on his dishonesty. It might per haps in some communities but presuma bly not so in Utah. The dealers who bought large cargoes of teas in the expectation that Congress was going to impose a tax are very anx ious now that it shall be imposed. Prob ably the prospect of the tax increased the price they had to pay for tea in China and they now fear they may not have good excuse for charging the increase to the consumer. There are now about forty bishops of the American Episcopal church in Lon don or on their way there to attend the triennial convocation of the bishops of the church of England to which they have been invited for several years. It is a conference rather than a convention, and the most important subject for con sideration seems to be church unity. Madrid advice says that Premier Cano vas is considering a schedule of reforms for Cuba. The considerations of these various schedules is getting to be a pleas ing pastime to the premier; in fact it is a sort of disease which has attacked him not in a remittent or intermittent form, but has passed to a positively chronic stage. The “Young Democracy” of New York is likely to be a thorn in the side of Tam many. Acting in sympathy with tin Brooklyn free silver organization it de clares in favor of municipal candidates favorable to the Chicago platform, and unless the movement can be headed oil Tammany’s leaders tiro liable to past many sleepless nights. A lively bond market is considered by many to be a sure indication that the people nro looking for investments and that tho hoarded millions of the country are getting ready to leave their hiding places. In this connection it is gratify ing to note that the week opened with one of the busiest bond markets that the New York stock exchange has seen for many months. The statement of the National Review that England has concluded to reopen the Indian mints to the coinage of silver may be true, but beforo taking much stock in it it will be better to wait until the statement is made on better authori ty. The most recent declarations of rep resentatives of the government on the subject of silver gave no indication of any change o n the part of England from what has been her settled policy for many years past. It certainly is a bit strange that if she has concluded to modify t his policy that the first intimation of it should come from a newspaper, and ,not a tvery conspicuous newspaper either. There are silver men in England but the governing classes have long been uncom promising advocates of the gold stand ard. THE LOBSTER TANK. An Aqnarlnm Exhibit That Many View with Eivelv Interest. (Now York Sun.) There are few tanks at tho Aquarium more interesting than that containing the lobsters. The lobsters there now are not great, like some of tho monsters that have been exhibited; but they are lively and in good condition, and the display of their characteristics as they move about or pause to cat is almost startling to one unfamiliar with the lobster in life. Whoever has picked up a live lobster’in a market and found the big claws droop ing, as they will if the lobster hasn’t much life left in him, is sure to bo inter ested when he sees the lobster here walk ing off briskly on his slender legs, carry ing his big claws in front of him clear of the ground, and his heavy tail clear like wise. His ordinary manner of progress ion is forward, and when ho turns he swings his heavily weighted projecting ends with facility. But if he meets ah obstruction of an enemy his usual way is to dart backward and, perhaps, diagonal ly upward through the water, which the lobster can do with great suddenness. me lousier s leaning apparatus is won derful. About the mouth there are lots of little attachments, all the time in motion when the lobster is feeding, which slice the food off in little shreds as the lobster holds it up to his mouth. If an other lobster should come up this lobster would know it, even though tho other came up behind or at the side, and would turn to defend himself, or to fight or to flee, or to warn the other away. The lobster’s long feelers he can project one in one direction and'the other in an other, and with these, as he moves for ward, back, or sidewise, he guards against danger. There are, perhaps, a dozen lobsters in the tank. In the center of the tank there is a little rock. There is likely to be seen upon this rock a little lobster; not a dull, old lobster lying down, but an alert, young lobster standing up,and supporting easily his big claws and his powerful tail; a young lobster, ready to eat, to fight, or to run away.

THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Exercises In Some of tlie liooms At the End of School Year. The public schools closed for the year yesterday and the loDg summer vacation will follow. In some of the schools, noticeably the Butler ‘and Centre grammar yesterday there were attractive exercises. In the Butler school, Mrs. Knowles’s, Miss El der’s and Miss Burrows’s rooms were quite bright with decorations and there were various exercises. In Mrs. Knowles’s room a most attractive novelty was the dainty sewing samples arranged as in an album, the book prettily adorned with c lored ribbon. Many of the teachers received handsome presents in the form of paintings, books and other testimoni als from their pupils. Mrs. Ada L. Davis gave a reception in her room Tuesday afternoon and this programme gave much pleasure: Song, Class Essay—Necklace of Pearls, Helen Cressey Essay—The Pied Piper, May Bickford Violin Solo, Philip Drew Essay—St Bernard Pass, Marion Pratt Song, Class Essay—My Favorite Books.

The school presented a beautiful ap pearance. The grammar school children were seated in the centre of the main room and around them were grouped the children of the primary school, some 300 in number, each waving an American flag, the whole presenting a spectacle al together pleasing. The singing and oth er exercises were all performed in an en tirely creditable manner. MUSIC AND DRAMA. A Figlit at MeCullum’s Theatre, Shortly after 8 o’clock last night, two members of Bartley MeCullum’s stock o mpany were engaged in a hot argument on politics, which soon ended in blows. One of these men, Norman Conmers, called Edward Dvorak a liar. Dvorak being a hot-headed youth, immediately sailed into Conniers and gave him a sound thrashing for insulting him. However, as this all happened on the stage at McCulum’s theatre, there was no blood spilt because this quarrel is a part of the dramatic action in the first act of “The New South.” These gentle men expect to have the same difficulty b ery afternoon and evening of this week a id will be just as good friends at the t nd of the week as ever before. SOUTH PORTLAND. The monthly business meeting of the Epworth league connected with the South Portland Methodist church will be held this evening.

The party leaves on Friday for their month’s outing. The work of laying the new water main from Pleasant street along Stevens Plains avenue to Bradley’s corner is progressing finely.

To Whom it May Concern: Having received communications re garding the new law relative to the sale of Paris Green, and in order that the re sponsibility may be placed where it properly belongs, I would like to call to notioe the following facts: A law prohibiting the sale of drugs, medicines or poisons—except by registered apothecaries—was passed by the legisla ture of 1877, and has been upon the statute books for more than twenty years, but was not brought into prominence till the amendment (a part of the new law) was added, last winter. This specialized “Poisons for agricultural purposes.’’ The law was honored more in the breach than in the observance. For obvious reasons to the legitimate apothecaries in the state, the commission ers of pharmacy petitoned the legislature of 1897, to amend the old law by striking out the first part of “Sec. 4,” relative to apothecaries doing business at the passage of this act, March 11, 1877, also to repeal latter part of the same section, allowing physicians to “do the business of ah apothecary without registoration” as an apothecary. This was all the commissioners of pharmey then asked. Their petition was presented to the judiciary committee of the legislature, who recognized its justice to the apothcary and the protection it would give to the public, and they unanimously reported to tho legislature that the petition ought to lie granted, it went to tne House ana Eassed its several readings, was engrossed y that body before it was sent to the Senate for concurrent action. Subse quently it was suggested by some mem bers of both branches of the legislature, that country storekeepers would be ex cluded from selling medicines and poisons, which they had done under the old law, when the following amendment was added to the latter part of section 6: “A permit may also be granted to storekeepers in towns or villages where there is no apothecary store, to sell the usual medicines and poisons used as home remedies and for the necessary agricxiltural purposes.” Paris Greeen being a “poison” comes under this law. This amendment satisfied the objection to the bill and it unanimously passed both houses of the legislature through Its several readings, was en grossed and enaoted, and finally received the signature of the governor and became the present law. There is no valid reason for breaking this law. The present law does not prohibit the country storekeeper from selling Paris Green to the farmer nor does it prevent the farmer from buying the "bug poison” from the country dealer. The “permit” gives to the country storekeeper protec tion, which he did not have before in sell ing not only Paris Green, but all medi cines and poisons used as home remedies —providing ha complies with the require Portland, July 1. 1897.

All the commissioners of pharmacy ask is, that the registered apothecary’s educa tion, experience and legitimate business be protected from inexperienced merchants and unqualified physicians who have not passed the legal requirements of an apothecary. If any part of the present law proves to be “class legislation” the only remedy is to repeal it. FRANK R. PARTRIDGE, Secretary Commission of Pharmacy. Riverton Park.

By a circular just issued from the office of General Manager Hays of the Grand Trunk, Mr, Joseph Hobson, chief engi neer, who has been assigned the entire charge of the construction of the “Victoria Jubliee Bridge,” will devote praotically his whole attention to that work. In order to enable him to do this, it has been decided that, taking effect July 1, the immediate supervision of the maintenance of track, buildings, water stations and wooden bridges will be placed under the jurisdiction of the super intendents of the respective divisions, who will report to and receive their in structions from the general superintendent Sir. F. H. McGuigan. The chief engi neer will continue in charge of the St. Clair tunnel, all iron bridges, masonary, and signals and interlocking. He will also have the direction and supervision of all contract work, the preparation of plans, specifications and estimates for new work, and the custody of original maps and profiles of the road comprising the system.” A petition has been received by the board of railroad commissioners from the Lime Rock railroad for crossings over several streets in Rockland. The hearing has been appointed for July 8 at Rock land. The Portland and Rumford Falls road have just completed extensive repairs at Canton. The station was moved back sixteen feet at one end and four at the other, new sidings have been put in and track from the village around Lake Ana sagunticook, which formerly was one of the greatest curves on a railroad in Maine has been straightened. The new arch bridge of the Grand Trunk railway at Niagara Falls will be fully completed and opened for traffic by the first of August. The engineer’s report is that there is now but three more weeks’ work to be done. A special from Machias to the Boston Herald says: John G. Moore, the well known New York banker, and General Thomas of New York, have notified the managers of the Washington county rail road project that they have decided not to back the enterprise. As these gentlemen were expected to practically guarantee the stock subscriptions and the sale of the bonds, Washington county people have concluded that their retirement will sus pend the project for at least another year, if not indefinitely. This is very dis couraging. The work has already been delayed so long that it would be im possible to complete the 115 miles of the road within the timo prescribed by the charter. Considerable money has already been invested in preliminary work and grading. The county has been taxed $35,000 so far, and the parties at the head of the railway company paid over to Colonel Green of the Old Shore Line com pany $185,000 for his plans and specifica tions. The National Guard. Adjutant General Richards has decided to make some important changes at Camp Powers, which will give the companies much more room than heretofore. They will need more than usual anyway, on account of the addition of the two new companies, since the last encampment was held. The buildings used as head quarters at the east side of the field, will be moved back some distance and tKe flag-staff opposite it will be removed from where it now stands to a point further east, out of the way of the drills. The hospital buildings at the south and west sides will be also moved back, thus making more room in every direction. The former will be placed near where the stables stood at the south side of the grounds, while this will bo changed to stand where the regular military stables are at the west side. In a number of ways the accommodations will be en larged, and all things put in readiness for the week of weeks for Maine’s National Guard. Maine Postmasters Appointed.
