YESTERDAY IN THE COLLEGE HALLS.
Graduation Of the Maine Medical
School at Brunswick.
A Committee Named to Consider a

Why Hannibal hamlin Did Not Visit
the State College.
Especial to the Press !

ORoNo, June 26.-The class at the Maine
State College graduated today, the exercises
being held in the town hall in the presence
of Gov. Burleigh and large number of
friends and alumni of the college, including
Gen. Charles Hamlin Of Bangor, Hon. VIM.
Haines of Waterville, Hon. T. A. Gilbert Of
Greene, Hon. Silas Hatch of Bangor, Ira W.
Davis, Esq. of Corinth, and others.
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, one of the first
and staunchest friends of the college usually
comes to these commencements, but was alb
sent today. Some of his neighbors think
they know why. Yesterday swarm of the
venerable statesman's bees took it into their
heads to light out, and, leaving the hive be-
took themselves to tall tree. But the ex-
Vice-President of the United States was not
to be left in this way. He organized pursuit
at once, advanced upon the bees in person,
and gathered them in as he used
to gather in his enemies in the
old days of political con tests. All this did
not happen, however, until one bee had
planted blow square upon the statesman's
cheek, causing it to swell so today that the
Maine State College commencement was de-
prived of the presence of very old and
valued friend. The exercises passed off
very pleasantly. The themes were very diff :
ferent from those usually presented at the
classical colleges of the State, dealing more
with practical and present topics. All of
them were very interesting. Mr.. John Reeds
ably written article on the Nicaraguan Ca
nal, Mr.. Charles G. Cushman's article on
Steam Boiler Explosions and Mr.. Ferguson's
article on Spectrum Analysis, being espec-
tally noticeable as instructive and practical
In their application
The diplomas were distributed by Gov
Burlei2h with appropriate remarks.
After the exercises came the alumni ban
quet. President Fernald, in beginning the
speaking. said the college had more students
than ever before. and with the $4,000 given
by the last legislature was on the road to
greater usefulness in the future. Gov. Bur
leigh was then introduced and, being re-
celved with applause, expressed his appreci-
alton of the work of the institution. Speeches
were then made by alumni and visitors.
Congressman Boutelle, who came late, re-
ceived hearty reception, to which he made
an appropriate and eloquent response. Hon
William I. Haines of Waterville, one of the
most popular of the alumni, spoke of the
place OF the. industrial school in the educa-
tl0n OF the future. Ex-senator Samuel Lib
made short speeches.
Among the visitors was Mr.. Elwell Of
Deering, OF last years graduating class.

SIMON cAMEooN DEAD.
One of the Striking Figures In Ameri-
can Public Life.

LANCASTER, Pa, June 26.-Simon Gamer
On died at s o'clock this evening.
Simon Cameron was for forty years the
most active and powerful politician in Penn
sylvania, and for much of that time one of
the most picturesque figures on the stage of
American public life. For many years be-
fore entering politics he was skilled printer
and shrewd editor, and for dozen years
since leaving it his counsels have been con-
stantly sought. and his sketches of the past
read with delight by millions of people. To
the very last his mind was as active as ever,
and in old age he preserved all the vivacity
of youth equally with his great ancestor,
Cameron of Lochiel."
Simon Cameron was born in Lancaster
county, Pa, March 8, 1899. and after get
ting a fair education and learning the
printers trade, he edited Democratic pa
per in Doylestown, and afterward in Harris
burg. In 1S45 he was elected to the United
States Senate to serve the four years unex-
pired term of James Buchanan, who had re-
signed.
When the slavery issue was made promin-
ent in 1886 he became Republican, and in
1857 was elected again to the United States
Senate. AT the Chicago convention of 1860
he received so votes on the first ballot for
nominee for President, but thereafter threw
his strength" for Abraham Lincoln,
by whom Mr.. Cameron was made Secretary
of War. Jan. IL, 1862 he resigned this place
and was made minister to Russia, but re-
turnen the next November, Ie-entered politi-
cal life, and in 1866 was again chosen sena-
vor Of his son, James Donald Cameron, now
senator from Pennsylvania. His brother
James. born March 1, 1901, was killed at
Bull Run, while serving as colonel. The
family, both in Scotland and America, has
ever been distinguished for bravery and un-

The Old Orchard Camp Ground.

To the Editor of the Press:
As the papers have said considerable about
the fencing Of the grounds at Old Orchard, a
statement Of facts may be deemed not out Of
place. For long time the Old Orchard
Camp Meeting Association has been trying
to devise some methods by which the current
expenses Of the meeting could be met and the
grounds kept up without resort to collec-
tions and constant begging. which has been
the case in the past. They finally adopted
the plan of fencing the auditorium and
charging an admission fee for all who attend
services. This, it was thought, would equal
ize the expenses and would be generally sat
isfactory. We weresaware that there would
be grumbling at this or any plan by which
those who enjoy The benefits Of the meeting
might be required to aid in supporting the
meeting. This measure is in practice by
nearly every camp-groundlof prominence in
the State. ''Oeean Park" adopted II last
year.
The Secretary" whose comments appear
ed in your issue of the 26th inst, is not the
secretary Of the Orchard Beach Camp
Meeting Association" but the secretary Of
the "Camp Meeting Association Of Portland
District" That the directors Of the "Orch-
ard Beach Camp Meeting Association" have
any intention Of assuming to g"shut on
the District Association from the grounds,
the week In which they have lease lof the
grounds, is question fully decided. They
don't assume any such contract, neither have
they any such intention, so that the Port
land District Camp Meeting Association may
be perfectly easy in that direction. IL the
Improvement committee" will keep within
the vote authorizing them to fence the
ground, there will be less occasion for fault
finding than | fear there will be as matters
are now progressing.

Twelve young ladies and gentlemen re-
ceived diplomas from!the hands of the pres-
dent of the Board of Trustees.
Three of these graduated from the CLASH
cal course, five from the northumberland four
from the English course.
By singular coincidence, two young men
received scholarships, Percy j. Cooling and
Perley o. Place, who were so exactly equal
in scholarship that the faculty and trustees
could not decide between them, and so cre-
ated scholarship for this occasion.
Fred 5. BOody of Berwick received the $50
gold medal, and several scholars elegantly
bound books of poetry for special excellence
in studies.
The centennial of the Berwick Academy is
to be celebrated next year. 1t should be
