son, Indiana, in which Mrs. Mawson
murdered her son Albert, and threw
his body into the well, subsequently
committing suicide. b. the follow
ing it will be seen that the Mawsons
are another Bender family: For
many years the Mawson family have
been a terror to the neighborhood in
which they resided. Mrs. Mawson
is believed to have murdered two
children by her first husband, and
then to have made way with their
father. 4 dark suspicion hung over
her at the time, but no cine could be
gained sufficient to warrant hei ar
rest. Eight years ago man by the
name of Hoppas was killed only a
few feet from the we'll into which AL
bert Mawson was thrown, and by his
side was sassafras club with which
he was struck. A man by the name
of White was found guilty Of the muir
der and hanged, although he main
tanned his innocence to the last. Three
years ago, when Mrs. Mawson's sec
ond husband died, it is said, he con-
fessed that he murdered Hoppas, and
that Mawson himself was poisoned by
his wife. In the evening he was as
well and strong as usual, bat the next
morniur he found ii convenient 70
die before any Of his neighbors were
up. Last spring Mrs. Mawson's ED
est daughter gave birth to an illegit-
innate child. and killed it by choking
it to death. She left for parts IN
known. About two months ago the
skeleton of a man was found at the
bottom of what was formerly pond
of water on the Mawson farm, and
was Identified as that Of an old bach
elor hermit who lived in the vicinity,
but who'disappeared very suddenly
about wear ago.

Commencement week at Bowdoin College
opened last evening with the baccalaureate SER
mon by President Chamberlain. Notwithstand-
ing the unfayorabe weather the church was
filled, and the sermon was listened to with
marked attention. Tuesday evening occurs the
prize declaration of the Junior Glass, Wednes
day the reunion of the Alumni, and Thursday
is commencement day.
The following is an abstract of the Baccalau-
reate address:
The text from Ecclesiastes, 81 said will be
wise, but it was far from me-" These words
express the despair of one who had made the
highest earthly choice. He had asked for wis
dom, and when he had Sought out all knowl-
edge and the reasons of things''-which in this
day we call science tand philosophy-found at
the end that all was vanity and increase of sor-
row, ana wisdom far from him. Why is this?
DO not worthy choice and high purpose en-
sure success? Or does success as well as failure
the. great king set out He centred all things
IN the sense. He measured his worth by the
abundance OF the things he possessed He
sought rest without trust.
We may find lesson 10 this. For the drift
OF the times is somewhat in the same line. 1t
is sometimes sad to be the duty of the scholar
to resist the tendency of the times This is NOT
quite correct. For the scholar evolves the IDEAS
which work the worlds true progress. Yet the
scholar is in position to keep things in whole
some balance. His wisdom is the only safe
conservatism. 1t will not do to give this up to
ignorance and obstinacy. 1t may be that we
have duty,-to discover at least, why the wis
dom of this age fails to satisfy. That the pur-
suit of il gratifes is obvious. There is excite
ment, but nowhere satisfaction. 1t is the age
of Fact the drift of thought and life is towards
materialism. Philosophers and scientists deny
that this is their teaching. 1t is still the prac-
teal result or tendency The spirit of the ''pos-
tive philosophy" prevails.
:, IL IS curious to observe how widely into
t1ougn and life this objective spirit has reach
ed. So the modern critical method in history

THE appointment of ex-Gov. Jewell to be
Postmaster General not only ELECTS the COM
mendation of the Republican press, but of
such hard-to-suit journals as the New York
Tribune nd Springfield Republican. Mr.. Jew
ell was born in Winchester, N. H., Oct. "a,
1925. His father was tanner and currier in
Hartford, Conn.,, during the early years Of
Mr.. JEWELS life, and he was put to the trade
when mere boy. He afterwards learned
telegraphin9 and became an expert operator
in Rochester, N. Y, and afterwards in Ohio
and Tennessee. In 1S4S he went to ia ckson,
Miss, and was subsequently Superintendent
of the line between Nashville, Tenn, and
New Orleans. He returned to New York in
1S49, and the following year entered into
partnership with his father, in the tanning
and betting business, and by his energy and
skill soon enlarged the business of the house,
tied Europe in 1859 and 1860 on business con-
nected with the firm, and in 1865 he again
went to Europe, extending his travels to
Egypt and the Holy Land. Mr.. Jewell has
never been an active politician, but he has
always been in sympathy with the Republi-
can party. Although comparatively unknown
as politician, he was elected Governor of
Connecticut in 1869, and his record for that
year was SO good that in 1871 he was again
elected to the same position, and reelected
the following year, thus serving for three
terms in the highest office which the citizens
of his native state could confer upon him.
On the goth Of My, 1873, the President NOM
mated Gov. Jewell tosucceed Hon. James l..
Orr as Minister to Russia, and in this high
Office he mas exhibited marked ability. Mr..

that he will make most efficient head of the

of the scholars and the efficiency of Madame
