to join in organizing Maine Chautauqus
Assembly to be held At the Isle of Springs
The preliminary meeting for organization
selection of grounds for the auditorium, tent
ing, ETC., is to be held early during the
present season. The Isle of Springs ha.
seemed to the committee to possess all the
attractions of seaside resort, without the
crowds found at popular" watering-place
to combine all the pleasures of recreation
with large opportunities for meeting ant
hearing the best speakers in the country, and
associating with those having kindred taste,
and desires for intellectual improvement
The following questions are propounded il
the circular:
If the Association of the Isle of Spring,
will give permanent lease of the necessary
grounds for an auditorium. tenting etc
would you favor organizing an Assembly a
the Island?
Do you think il would be wise to make tbs
Assembly stock company. putting the stocl
at 81 per share, and thus making the holders
of the stuck the legal managers of the Assem-
bly, and the controllers of its policy?
Persons interested in this movement are
requested to communicate with the committee
J. c. Haskell, W. W. Stetson or Rev. A. S
Ladd, Auburn, as soon as possible.

story goes, that the plumber sat in his office.
one day, when a man entered, saving that he
worked at the Lewiston bobbin shop, and
that he wanted to borrow some Stil>on
wrenches to use in putting up some machin-
cry. The plumber was agreeable and the
wrenches were loaned. Time--two weeks
later. The plumber wanted his wrenches
and sent to the bobbin shop. They were
not there. An hour later he found out that
the whole story was fabrication and that
the thief had wrougfully used the good re-

signs on the plumbers wrenches. The police
suppose that the man has left town. The
wrenches were worth ten or twelve dollars,
more OF less.
