Pitt8neId.

The usually quite town of Pittsfield is
all stirred up in excitement over the out
come of the hazing affair which took
place recently at the Maine Central In
stitute. One of the students late one Sun
day evening not long ago was given a
sever dose of that relic of the barbarous
age. At the time the real perpetrators
were unknown and the matter had thought
to have blown over, but later developments
prove that the faculty has been doing
some strong detective work, and Friday
the names of those who took part in the
disgraceful performances of that Sabbath
evening were made known. Two of the
seniors were told that they would be re-
fused diplomas this year. they being pro-
minent leaders In the scrape. majority
of the class stand by the boys in disgrace
and refuse to graduate unless these two
be allowed to come in. The faculty stand
firm and what the outcome will be is un
certain.
Later victory was scored for the
Faculty and there promises to be grad
uating exercises at Maine Central Insti
tute. The class finding their action
strongly condemned by public sentiment
al noon Monday reversed their previous
decision, and unanimously agreed to
graduate without the two boys Who
have been suspended. Many parents
and friends of members of the class
have been in town to-day and urged
the class to yield. This result has been
accomplished without any promises
or concessions from the Faculty, and
1t is thought that hazing will never be
attempted again in the school,

The Gamblers Chances

Within com aratively short time two
or three persons in this vicinity have
drawn prizes in the Louisiana lottery,
just enough to excite thoughtless minds
with hope that a like investment on their
part will bring to them a like return.
They do not stop to think what their
chances are, and we present to them some
statistics to help them out. These tables
have been carefully computed, and may
be trusted for their accuracy. After
looking them over, If anybody can be
tempted to try his luck in that lottery he
must have money to spare. A Maine gold
mine is better investment. The figures
show that the odds are
