DR. PEPPERS RESIGNATION
lWaterville Sentinel
DR. Pepper has occupied the presidency
and the chair of Babcock Professor of In
telectual and Moral Philosophy since 1882,
succeeding Rev. Henry f. Robins. He has
been very popular with our citizens and be-
loved by the college students generally
Although his vacant chair will be ably
filed by his successor his resignation is
heavy blow to the university, faculty, and
all friends of the college. His resignation
is entirely unexpected and will be much re-
GREETED.

Men with buckets dropped to bitches be-

Incredible sights showed through that
nightmare of fire. Moss inclosed stumps
spurted flames many times their own
height. Young ferns; scarce unrolled,
sprang green and fresh from one side Of

The train stopped. l: could creep in
retreat no farther, for the track was burn
ed, the rails warped into fantastic curves.
Blackened and blistered paint ran down
the car sides.
The doors and windows had all been
closed to keep ont smoke and sckening
heat. Every passenger in the carriage
gasped for breath. The floor was so hot

could not be touched. They could all see
