We noticed in your paper an account of
the Colby Pine Tree base ball game of the
18th. That the account was faulty in the
extreme is readily seen.
The correspondent who endeavored to
write up the game evidently tried it "a ls
Murnane' and it is undoubtedly his first at
tempt He commenced to show bic ability by
dragging the Pine Tree short stop into the
mess, creditng him with tumble, w'ile
that man played an errorle" game, Then
Stevens, the pitcher, who isunlOublelly one
of the best in the State, was the mark for
his brilliant and scathing sarcasm. The
enterprsing correspondent accuses Stevens
of losing the game, which, If it were
true. would be almost excusable under the
circumstances, since Stevens had his right
thumb knocked out at the second joint dur
ing the third inning. He pitch d remark
able game, striking out fourteen of his oppo-
nents, and holding them down to fopr singles
And yet this aspiring correspondent accuses
him of causing the loss of the game.
The facts of the case are these; passed
balls at critical points allowed the Coiby's TO
score. The account in the Lewiston journal
was bad enough, but this az count besides being
incorrect, shows poor base ball understand
ing. Hoping that this correction may be made
public, We subside.

their words of praise for the sessions of the

| The stsid. solid Grammsr School building
wore an unusual aspsct last evening. the
upper story being brilliantly lighted upon the
occasion Of the opening Of the evening
school. A climb up the three nishss Of stairs
brings u TO the main school room, which
will be used for the night sehools Down
the hall we're arranged three long tables Of
pianed boards. along either side Of which are
comfortable se,tess The room Is brilliantly
lighted by incandeseent electric lights. and
isst evening it presented really inviting sp-
peasance. At the various tables we're groups
Of people Of all ages. from the yoangsses of
seven or eight year, to the man Who had seen
the SHOWS Of many winters.
The bright eager faces Of the pupils showed
that they had come there for the purpose Of
improving their minds and we're bent on
making the most Of their opportunities.
There were about forty Of them and they
sere divided into four classes. three Of Amer
can and Irish boys and girls, with = notable
predominance Of the former set, and the
fourth composed Of about half = dozen
French boys BY far the larger number at
tending last evening we're Of American birth,

who had supposed that nearly all attending

Mr.. ATKINSON - We are very much
pleased with the Quaker Range. 1t is con-
venient, makes little dirt, will bake quick
as an old wood fire when needed, or will
keep fire all night or all day with one
hod Of coal, keeping the room warm ;dOes
better than any other Range have ever
used or seen. In fact it suits me and
we would not part with it. We think the
price we paid for 1t very cheap.
Yours truly, W. B. MURCH.
NORTH FALMOUTH, Jan. Is, 80.
The Quaker Range purchased Of you
is perfect in every respect. I have Md
three or four different makes Of Ranges,
but never had one half equal to the Quaker.
1t will bake meats, bread and beans, pies
and buildings, so they will look and taste
just as they do when baked in an old fash
ioned brick oven. There Is not one fault
with it. Yours truly, A. 0. FIELD.
And We are pleased to be able to stand
up for the Quaker as the best Range In
the market. Five Improvements over ali
other Ranges. 1t is Absolute Economy
to buy Quaker. We are Sole Ags nts In

Only one State candidate was successful, the
Democratic nominee for Attorney General be-
ing elected by majority Of 77s. The Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor fell 548 votes
short of majority, and the election as to ell
the candidates except Attorney General must
be decided by the Legislature. Here the eie-
ment of doubt crops out conspicuously again.
In sixteen districts there was no choice, and
another election must be held. Apart from
these sixteen, the Republicans have forty-hVe
on Joint bale and the Democrats forty seven
the latter needing eight and the former ten
more votes to make majority Of both houses
The new elections will probably take place to-
morrow, and naturally they will be warmly con-
tested. At all events, the Republicans will GER
tainly control the Senate, and favorable acaon
on the question of resubmission is altogether
nrobable in both branches of the Legislature

the flames and sent the embers flying in all
directions.
II appears from the latest dispatches that at
some points in DalHota the fires have been the
most destructive ever known. Whole villages
have been swept away, the settlers losing abso-
Iutely everything except their lives. Scores of
families have been rendered shelterless and re-
duced to beggary, and an immense number Of
farm animals have persisted. 1t is too early as
vet TO estimate the severity of the dispensatiOn
In dollars and cents, but the statement is made
that the property which has been destroyed in
South Dakota alone was worth at least
So, 900, 600. These are appalling figures. They
stand for staggering blow to new country.
There is measure Of consolation in the thought
that it might have been worse. The loss Of
human life was very small.
So grave disaster overtaking Dakota at this
time entities her to more than ordinary SYM
pathy and succor Just as she is getting ready
for Statehood she receives this tremendous set
back. It is well calculated to discourage her
own people, and to turn aside those who were
thinking of settling within her borders. But
il is safe to say that she will face her trouble
with undaunted courage and patience, and that
all the help she needs from outside VIII DO
freely rendered her.
