CLOSE OF SCHOOL.

The winter term of the Carlyle
school, taught by e. E. Remsberg,
closed on last Saturday, May I'd, and
truly the school room was the scene of
merry gathering. The spacious
room was beautifully decorated with
pictures, flowers AID evergreens. 1t
irons and school officers present that
the good people of that district are in
terested in the educational welfare of
their children. The teacher and pu-
pills of the Maple Grove school came
over and helped to further the pleas
ures of the day. The forenoon session
was profitably spent in a brief review
of the winters work, and oral exami-
nations, the pupils acquitting them
selves creditably. Dinner hour hav-
ing arrived, four long tables were
spread with a sumptuous repast by the
ladies of the district, who, by the
way, are famous for their palatab BILE
dinners. The tables being surrounded,
Rev. Lynn was called upon to return
thanks, which he did in a most i'm
pressiye manner. G. E. Merwin pos
sesses, among other good qualities,
merit of tenacity, and the way he staid
with that table proved that he thought
that it was good for him to be there
Supt. J. E. Henderson, while trying
to follow his townsman's example,
alarmed his friends to such an extent
that committee was delegated to
persuade him to desist.
The afternoon session consisted of
rhetorical exercises. The recitation
entitled "Keep Stiff Upper Lip"
was well spoken by Johnson Carnine.
Little Ord Christian then recited in a
very pretty way "My Grandmother's
Farm" "Vacation" was recited in
an animated manner by Enos Thorn
as. Space forbids the mention of each,
as the programme was both interesting
and long, and closed with "a Peep at
our School Thirty Years Hence
which exercise was truly amusing, as
it settled the future Of the teacher and
present members of the school fOr
thirty years. Next came the distribu-
ton of presents, after which addresses
were given by Supt. Henderson, Faith.
er Lynn. Miss Cowan, Messrs. Barber
Merwin and J. w. Christian. Mr..
Remsberg started Saturday evening
for his home in Indiana, and the fare
well between teacher and pupils was
truly touching. Judging from the
fearful little faces Mr.. Remsberg has
won the love as well as the respect o.
his pupils. VISITOR.

T John Ward returned last week after
several months absence, during which
time he has been drumming around"
pretty extensively, having visited all
the Pacific States and Territories from
California to Washington. He is very
emphatic in his condemnation of all
of them, declaring them to be almost
worthless for agricultural purposes,
while industrial pursuits of all kinds
are at the very lowest ebb. Every
train east, he says, is literally besieged
with hungry, ragged and penniless
men who almost fight for place on
the train that will take them out of
the country. His advice to all who
live in Kansas is to stay here rather
than go to a country where sit will
take fifty generations to get farm in
cultivation, and then it wont raise any,
thing but hops and potatoes"

ANSWER TO INQUIRER"

you to the board of County Commits

All bonds issued for the old school
house are due and the statutes provide
that at shall be the duty of the board

of interest bonds being due July LIST,

A Narrow Escape.

Thursday, Mr.. G.. H. Boothby, general
manager of the Maine Mutual Accident In
surance Company of this city, with his wife
and child, was in Biddeford. During the af-
ternoon another gentlemen took Mr.. Booth
by's horse and carriage for ride, and COM
ing in collision with street sprinklng cart,
the horse was thrown to the ground the car
riage broken, and the driver thrown upon
his head between the horse and the front of
the carriage. The horse, valuable one, and
most intelligent animal, quickly regained
It's feet and stood perfectly still while the
man was pulled from his perilous position.
Neither horse nor man was much injured
The carriage was taken to shop and re-
paired. In the evening Mr.. Boothby and his
family started to return home to Portland.
While the horse was going at about four
minute clip, one of the forward wheels came
off, letting the carriage to the ground, throw
ing Mrs Boothby out upon her head and
shoulders; her little boy of four years was
also thrown out. As before the horse in
stantly stopped. Mr.. Boothby quickly dis
covered the cause of the accident which was
that during the time the carriage was in the
shop being repaired the nuts were UNI
screwed from the wheels and were not
screwed on again. The damage was soon re-
paired, and the party arrived home at late
hour last night. Strange to say, neither
Mrs. Boothby nor the child were seriously in
iured

Special Meeting of the Mayor and
Aldermen,

A special meeting of the board of Mayor
and Aldermen was held last evening with
Mayor Deering in the chair, absent Alder
man Gallagher.
The applications to store petroleum of
John S. Fitz, George c. Shaw and George G.
Shaw & Co., were referred to the chief engi-
neer of the fire department.
The powder license of ]. W. and E. H.
Deering was renewed for one year.
The following petitions for the erection of
new woodens were referred to the committee
on new wooden buildings; VIM. Kilby, 1o7-
Ill Clark street, John E. Loring, Murray
Lane, f. Fl. Carl.
His Honor stated that he had called the
meeting to consider the case of DR.. Lamb,
who had erected a wooden house at the cor
ner of Newbury and Pearl streets, within
the limits in which such buildings are prohi-
bited by the city ordinances.
Alderman Denison, for the committee,
said that no permission had been granted
DR.. Lamb to build.
DR.. Lamb said that he had been told by
members of the committee that his land was
in the portion of the city in which
wooden buildings are prohibited. As his
lot was too small ON which to build a
house of brick, he had intended to cover
his house with galvanized iron. Then, how
ever, as he found other buildings in the pro-
seribed district were being partially covered
with clapboards, he used clapboards for the
covering of the front and one side of his
house, using galvanized iron for the other
sides and slate and gravel for the roof.
Judge Symonds, the city solicitor, stated
that the rules governing the erection of
wooden buildings are perfectly valid and en-
tirely reasonable, and that the Board Of
Mayor and Aldermen acting through the
City Marshal have perfect right to remove
buildings erected in violation of the rules.
Judge Symonds further said that he wished
to define his position on this question as it
was being constantly brought to his atten-
ton. The Board has legal right to prohi-
bit the erection of wooden buildings and the
fact that the building is completed without
permission, does not give the owner any
grounds on which to resist the removal Of
the building. Buildings erected in violation
of the ordinance have no rights as property
and may be treated as heap of inflammable
material
The Mayor said that if any buildings had
been erected in violation of the rules he
should not hesitate to use his authority.
The whole matter was then referred to the
committee on new wooden buildings with
power and the Board adjourned

Funeral Services

The funeral services of the late Colonel
Colman Harding took place ON Friday after
noon at the Methodist church. Prayer was
offered at the house by the pastor, Rev. F. A.
Bragdon, after which the relatives and
friends proceeded to the church, under the
escort of John r. Adams Post, G. A. R., of
which Col. Harding had been an officer.
The services at the church were brief and
of an appropriate and impressive character,
Rev. Messrs. Huntington (Congregationalist),
Bragdon, Colby, Cobb and lyric, partici-
pated in the services. The remarks of Revs.
Bragdon and Colby on the life and character
of the deceased were eminently fitting, and
were full of consolation and comfort to the
mourners. Upon the pulpit and platform
were profusion of cut flowers, and at the
head of the casket was pillow of rare
flowers with the motto "Rest' upon it. The
congregation filed the church, among whom
were Gov. Frederick Robbie and Adjutant
General S. j. Gallagher, and many leading
citizens.
After these services the remains were es-
corted to the cemetery by the G. A. r. Post,
where the beautiful ritual service of the or
der was performed under the direction of
Col FL r. Millet
