Nav Dav Customs.

We are glad to hear that this year we are to
have genuine May Day Festival under tie
auspices of the ladies of St. Lukes Cathedral,
that will rejoice the hearts of young and old.
Although our long and severe winter make it
unsafe to have in New England the open air
May Day sports of our mother country, still
an appreciation of their healthful, gladdening
influence may help us to enter heartily into
the indoor festival which we are assured will
be as much like the rural sports of Eye olden
times" as skill and good taste can arrange.
Some suggestions that are to be given of the
quaintest customs of centuries ago in the diff
ferent countries of Europe and counties of
England will render this festival peculiarly
noyal and Instructive

Stormy Days.

TO the School Committed:
Would it not be we'll on very stormy morn
ings to postpone the school sessions by
sound of gong? When children and teachers
arrive at school half drenched, but little work
is accomplished, and the hardship falls on the
more faithful attendants who are unwilling to
be marked absent. These very severe storms
come but seldom, but when they do happen it
is a very hard task for children, especially
girls, to pick their way through driving sleet
it is not healthful for them to sit throuph the
session in wet garments. The average of
marks will also be helped by not making
those who are iudciously kept ct home, while
the average of scholarship cannot be much
helped by session from which so many are
absent. L understand that such practice is
adopted in Boston. s r.

to be pleasant elocutionist Her humorous
selections, in which she excelled, pleased the
audience immensely and the whole programme
was well rendered. A fine quartette was given
by Messrs. Bridges and Stevens and Mrs. and
Miss Babbage song by Master Babbage, and
duets by Miss Thompson and Mrs Babbage. A
fair audience was in attendance

Narrow ESCAPE from Death.

Conductor Chas. Dean of the Euro
pean & North American railway narrowly es
capped horrible death Tuesday. While
freight train was at Costigan it became neces-
sary to shift some cars which stood ON a side
track. So near the junction of the tracks
were the two trains that to keep one train
from crowding against the locomotive of the
other stick of timber was braced between
them. The stick broke, large piece of which
struck Conductor Dean on the forehead, knock.
ing him down and causing him to fall beneath
the cars that were in motion. With remark
able presence of mind Mr.. Dean grasped
drawbar (Which connects the cars) and thus
saved himself from being crushed by the
trucks. AS it was, he was dragged some dis
lance, his body striking the sleepers as the
train moved along. He was finally rescued
from his perilous position. Though consider
ably bruised, it is thought he will be out again
in a few days.

left hand. What happened just then he can
not very easily tell. Suffice it to say that ne

In Hollis on the 23d inst, died Moses Dunn
at the age of ninety years and three months.
He was the surviving brother of the late Hon.
Joshua Dunn of Portland and like him PEN
sioner Of the war of 1928.
By this death we lose the last of that coterie
of the past business men of Saco river who are
now locally remembered as the pioneers in their
respective occupations Among his associates
now long past-were Col Isaac Lane, Hon.
Jabez Bradbury, Ellis B. Usher, Capt. Joel
Marshall, Capt Moses Davis, Thomas earle,
Hon. Nath'l j. Miller and others of still earlier
date.
He was for long period, the associate and
confdant of the late Samuel Bradley, dis
tinguished advocate of York bar, before
his removal to Saco. He engaged
in mercantile business in his native Hollis
about 1910, and followed it exclusively for So
years. For many years he purchased his
goods in Boston, making the journey by stage
several times in year, and travelling day and
night. Though by no means as conspicuous a
politician as his brother, he wasno less stead
fast in his political principles. A Federalist, a
Wing and later Republican, he not only
held the confidence of his own party, but for a
long series of years, held the Office of treasurer
of his own town which was for long period
controlled by his political opponents, being a
rare exception to the prevailing idea that a
worthy citizen is not without honor, save in
his own country.
In his business relations he was widely
known in western York county where his in
tegrity and decision of character will long re-
main the satellites of his memory. Three of
his children and a widow survive him. M.
