LEWISTON. Nov. 16 1875


To the Editor of the Press
Your issue of to-day contains an account of
the "Trouble at Bates College, taken from the
Boston Globe. My desire is to make few ex-
plantations and to add few facts that the
whole truth may be known. The cause of the
trouble was given substantially correct, but the
mock programmes were so far from being dis
gushing that the faculty pronounced them the
best they ever saw and rot such as to cause
anyone to be suspended. The bowling alley
balls, rolling down stairs did occasion consid-
cradle disturbance, but it would take the vivid
Imagination of a Freshman to perceive that
the building shook with ''perceptible tremor'
or that there followed "crash'' as if the
building was coming down. Nor has the affair
appeared at all "digraceful' only as the college
faculty have mad it so through their ''ndig-
nation
In the first place the faculty centered upon
the Sophomores as though such an act could
have been done only by them. The faculty
had no proof of this, nor have they now
What information they got came from a GER
tain Freshman who, not yet having recovered
from the scare listened at a Sophomore's
to the class of 10 This was enough. The
suspicious of the sagacous faculty were con-
frmed, ard six Sophomores were suspended on
suspicion merely Against this the rest of the
class protested and asked to be treated in the
same way, thinking them to be suspended I'M
justly, knowing some to be innocent and be-
lieving them all TO be. The faculty refused to
treat all alike, but talked to those remaining as
being the "better element" of the class, the
conscientious part" and tried to effect COM
promise. But the class felt that they could
not in honor remain in college until affairs
were so arranged that all equally innocent or
guilty could stand on a coordinate basis. Con-
sequently there is at present no Sophomore
class at Bates College. This position of the
Sophs. is upheld not only by the Seniors and
the better element of the college, but also by
the leading citizens of Lewiston. The Globe is
right, 'the end is not yet

Music HALL-The Ootoroon still continues
to draw good houses at Music Hall. At each
representation the play rurs smoother and the
situations are worked up much more effectively.
Tbe steamboat scene and the struggle between
the Indian and McClosky, as well as the auc-
tion sale of the slaves are all brought out true
to life, and the audience show their apprecla-
ton by long and frequent applause. Among
the acting worthy of commentator IS that OF
Mrs Calder in the role of Paul, the Vlctm Oh
McClosky. She portrays the simple, but YET
bright colored lad in manner truly remarKa-
BILE. Miss Bailey has made decided nit as
Dora Sunnyside, the part being we'll adapted 10
her STYLE of acting. The play will be contln-
ued until further notice each evening, and Will
he Given at the matinee this afternoon.
Next week it is proposed to put on the old
slave play of "Uncle Toms Cabin" in order to
bring out Mr.. Beattie, who is the original Uncle
Tom lie played this part as early as 1858 and
his assumption of the part is truly wonderful.

IN REPLY-In its issue of Wednesday the
Argus asks ''Did the PRESS publish the one
Ia Geographic despatch) last week to its editor
in-chief from the Boston Journal office, stating
that louisiana had gone Democratic by 1900
majority?" No, the PRESS did not, for the
sufficient reason that no despatch of that tenor
has been received from the Boston Journal or
any other source by the editor-in-chief or any
other person connected with the PRESS Fur
thermore, the PRESS is under no obligation to
the public to publish private dispatches. The
point we made against the Argus, and which
We reiterate, was that itssuppressed Associated
Press dispatches, which it advertises to pub.
lisb, and printed only those favorable to Demo-
cratic claims, thus deceiving its readers by
giving false view of the situation.

Mr.. Cenhas III, Douglass, Death,

Mr.. EDIroR:-An article appeared in yes
terday's Argus in regard to the death of Mr..
9. II. Douglass which does great injustice to
his physician. Mr.. Douglass did not die half
an hour after the fluid had been injected into
his arm, but five hours afterwards. The amount
injected was very small, about 1-12th of a
grain.
The doctor called upon the family of Mr..
Douglass last night and asked permission to
make post mortem examination, he being
convinced that other effects than those appar-
emf had aided in causing death.
1t appears from the most correct evidence
coming from the members Of Mr.. Dougass's
family that his kidneys had been badly dis
eased, and that he had suffered greatly there
from.
While the family of Mr.. Douglass object to
an examination they attach no blame to the
attending physician and express great regret
that al erroneous opinion seems to have gone
forth in regard to the matter.

AN ExPLANATIoN.-M Bridges says in
regard to the communication of "Medicus,"
that that the beats are not uncovered from II. 80
to o'clock as was stated. The class which
goes on duty at 81 o'clock reports at the Office
again at II 45, and return to their beats at II 30.
The second class goes out ats and doesn't come
in until 12.45 fifteen minutes after the first
class goes out Thus there can be but little
time, if any, that the beats are left unprotected
if the officers do their duty.

from the French by Thomas Bailey
Aldrich, and illustrated with shout
tes by Hopkins. The first Install
meut introduces the principal charac-
ters in a series of striking incidents,
and contains no less than thirty-siH
comical Silhouette drawings. Indeed,
the illustrations to this story are a
novel and stirring feature for ST.

make a sensation among the boys ana
girls.
