hours drive through the city. The presl-
dent rode in an open carriage. and was
greeted with cheers. The streets were

was met at the depot by the mayor ana re-
ception committee Of citizens, who ext ended
the hospitality Of the city. The reception

President said: 81 am exceedingly gratiied
that am able to see the wonders of your
State and meet its hearty people, and the
sincerity of your welcome makes me already
feel quite at my ease. am sure every per-
son must be impressed with the extent of
our country and the diversity of its climate
and products, when he finds that by travel
ling "A hours winter and snow can be left be-
hind and exchanged for the balmy air and
blooming verdure of summer. The Amerl-
can citizen, in search of health, pleasure and
comfort in any variety of climate, or in al
most any changed condition, has no need to
leave American soil or lose the benefit and
freedom Of American institutions and laws.

The Bowdoin College Library.

The Bowdoin College Library, containing
1880 bound volumes, and $500 pamphlets, is
to-day twelfth among the college libraries in
America. The Harvard library has 10000
volumes; Yale, 125,000; Columbia, $4,000;
Dartmouth. Brown, and Princeton, $1,000
each Lehigh, 1000; Cornell, 55,0 600. Mich
igan University and Uniyer sity of Virginia,
each, 1900; and Amherst, $4,000: Our Ii
brary is thus the sixthlcollege collection in
New England, and compares as follows with
other Maine libraries Colby. 10000 vol
umes Bates, $500; and Maine State College
$500. 1t consists Of the old Bowdoin library
the Vaughan gifts, the collections of the
Peucinian, Athenaan, and Theological So
cietes, the books of old "Diogenes" 0he IA
nous janitor, Thomas A. Curtis), and such
works as have been added from time to time
by purchase or donation. The average
growth of the library, up to the past year
was 290 volumes annually, but for the past
twelve months previous 10 June !, 1887, the
increase was l, TBS volumes, and 900 pamph-
lets. Professor Little, of course, purchases
many Of the new books, but Professor Smith
has charge Of fund from which are bought
many new and valuable works for the His
tory and Political Economy departments.
II seent works in Philosophy are also being
constantly added. With a few exceptions
all departments of literature and learning
are well represented, and as good working
library BOwd0in's ranks among the first.
But the Alumni Alcove is sadly incomplete,
the Civil War period OF American history
has many gaps, and current fiction, excepting
a few standard stories, mostly in the period
ieals, Is lacking. Continual efforts, however
as great as the rather meagre library endOw-
ments will permit, are being made to remedy
these deficiencies.
There is good collection of rare, valuable
and curious works. Many of the volumes
have been presented by notable men, and the
handwriting of Longfellow and others is to
be seen in them. Longfellow's well-cribbed
Horace, with autographs, which he used
here sixty-five years ago, can be seen in the
show case. Claude Hemans, '3S, son OF the
famous poetess, presented his mothers
works and fine set Of Pope. LOngfell0w
gave us the magnificent Pisa edition of the
Italian poets, a dozen large volumes. Prob
ably no library in the country is richer than
ours in versions Of the Scriptures. We have
the Bible printed in every conceivable tongue
together with some Of the celebrated editions
such as the Breeches Bible of 1911, Iyndale'e q
Bible. Eliot's Indian Bible, the Pearl and
Bagster Polyglot Bibles, and the English
Hexapia. The student Of English History
can see reprint of the Domesday Book,
made in George Ill. S time, and the curious
reader can gaze upon the 'Odd Book.

has failed to vindicate the honor OF the ma
tion. Nearly all of Canada's outrages can
be repeated under this treaty with impunity.
Canada, with her customs regulation, deilD-
erately harrassed our fishermen to force US
to remove the duty from fish. This was
their objective point and will be again.
The provision for tonnage due gives Canada
new facilities for operating against our Isn-
ermen. This treaty will be as unpopular ln
Canada as in New England. IL does not
offer basis for permanent settlement, lt
should be rejected by patriotic Senate.
The Press says: ''The tonnage tax would
tax American fishermen out Of existence ana
the surrender of the right to buy bait Is
serious detriment to New England fishing
interests. This right was unquesLlonaDly
guaranteed by the treaty Of 1918. Inc ad-
ministration has been over-reached.
TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 22.-Thls morning
papers comment very briefly on the fisheries
treaty The Mail gives a summary OF the
treaty and says the Americans have won
their case and Canadian fishermen receive
no sort Of equivalent for concessions maue
by them.
The Empire, the government organ, says;
"Grumblers will no doubt find fault with the
details but reasonable men on both sides oI
the line will rejoice that the question when
has given rise to so much international ieei- ie
ing has been settled and the good VIII, W.l Wlllcn
having such intimate intercourse. VIII again
hold sway.
OTTAWA, Feb. 22.-Con:: on the
fisheries treaty, the Free Press, (opposltfon,T
saws: "As the Americans have now secured
by the Chamberlain treaty almost all the ad-
vantages they would have obtained by
treaty of reciprocity, without giving an
equivalent of any kind, it is not likely theY
will be very anxious to make any concession
All Canada had to offer in return for tne ..
free admission Of our products TO the Amerls
can market had been virtually given away
for nothing. !,
Says the Journal Qndependent): at will
be with a feeling of sincere satifactlon that
the Canadians will read the text of the hsh-
cry treaty. II is not going too far to say the
treaty is signal triumph for the Domin-
ion."
The Gazette, (Government) says '"'Itis,
step toward thai reciprocity which the Ca
madam government has long been anxious
to obtain, and have often been blamed by
their opponents for not obtaining"
The Herald SAYS: THE fact remains that
piecemeal the right, possessions and interest
of Canada are abandoned to the United
States and so we presume will continue as
long as Sir John remains in power.
LONDON, Feb. 22.-The Chronicle, com
menting on the fisheries. says: "lt.is an annie
able bargain. In the nature of things, Can
ada's concessions appear larger than Amerl-
cas-, but 1t would be useless for Chamber
lain to extOrt such terms from America as
would lead to the rejection of the treaty by
the Senate"
The Daily News says: 'We still think that
1t would have been better to have chosen
commissioner less obnoxious to powerful
section of the American people"
The Times says: I'VE shall be surprised
If the majority of Canadians do not appreci-
ate the fisheries settlement highly"

think George and l could run the store if fa-
ther should die" and witness also heard him
say in the store about a mouth ago or so, as
his father was passing by, there goes that
old drunken fool; I'll put stop to it before
long"
Other witnesses gave similar evidence
The son seems to feel his position, and does
not look like criminal.

DEXTER, Feb. 22.-In the matter OF the
proposed new line of railroad from Dexter
to connect with the Bangor Piscataquis
road, it is understood that the Dexter people
offered to build it if the Maine Central
would guarantee them $4,000 annual rental
The Maine Central Company replied that
they would pay $4,000. This the Dover
men were unwilling to accept and it is
learned that they are not anxious to stand
by their first offer as the road bed must be
constructed some two feet wider than they
expected when fixing the amount at first. 1t
is not learned that the Guilford men have
fixed upon any rental which they would be
willing to build the road for.
