TWO Flag Raisings.

Very interesting were the exercises at
Casco street school on the occasion of rails
ing the flag over the school house. The chill
dren sang america" The. poem The
American Flag" was read by Carrie Clarke.
The history of the American flag was given
by Ethel Peterson, Ethel Hanson, Robert
Sawyer. Oracle Wheeler, Flora Foster, Grace
Conner, Susie McDufy, Charles Coffin, Ed
ward Leavitt, Grace Cummings, Walter Wes-
colt, Walter Crandall, Nellie Coveny, Rich
ard Mitchell, Nellie Hooper, Philip Smith.
Charles Bacon. Manly Robbins. The Star
Spangled Banner was sung. Miss Gertie
Crandall read this poem, written for the oc-
casion by Mrs. Caroline Dana Howe:
Our beautiful banner. unfur it wide,
And let 1t float out on the azure tide,
That the world may count us, star by star,
In union OF States, hurrah! hurrahi
Lift high in the sunshine the red, white and blue,
As we with new vigOr our studies pursue.
While the salt breezes crossing our breakwater
Shall give us their greeting, hurrah! hurrahl
For ours is nation world-known aud free
With Its colors afoat upon every sea-
Wherever our ships lift a sail or spar
Our proud flag is honored, hurrah! hurrahl
Then fling out its folds against the blue skies,
A signal OF union and gram enterprise
We may count State for every star;
HurTah for our flag, then, hurrah! hurrah!
Then yankee Doodle" was given by the
school, after which Superintendent Lord
made few remarks, commencing the pupils
for not only getting, but raising the flag
themselves. without any assistance from out
siders.
At Vaughan street school Mr.. Richard
Webb presented the flag in few well chosen
remarks. He alluded to the history, growth
and extent of our country and the meaning
and history of the flag
Superintendent Lord received the flag and,
for the school, thanked the generous givers.
Malcolm G. Little recited Independence

Mayor Melcher spoke briefly of the hard
ships men had endured and the sacrifices
they had made in defence of the flag. and ex-
pressed the hope that if ever called upon to
do so his hearers would be willing to endure
the same hardships and make the same sac
rifces.
Patriotic songs were sung under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Merrill and at the close of the
exercises the flag was handed to Masters
Leonard Gerrish and James johnson, who
unfurled it amid the loud cheers of the schol-

League Of American wneeImen.

The Lewiston journal says that in all
probability the annual spring meet of the
Maine division, League of American Wheel
men, May 30tb, will be held in Lewiston.
Last spring it met in Biddeford, and for two
years previous Portland was the place of
meeting. As the storm occasioned post
ponement of the races in Portland last fall
there was talk at that time about holding
the May meet in Portland and having the
races in connection with it, but Chief Consul
Dow is of the opinion that Labor Day would
be better time for the races, and he favors
holding the spring meet in Lewiston. The
matter Of deciding where to hold the meet
ing lies with the executive board, consisting
of Chief Consul Dow of Portland, Vice Con-
sui c. d. Batchelder of Sanford, Representa-
tiYes j. o. Whittemore of Fairfield, and the
secretary who resides in Bidde-
ford. They now have the matter under con-
sideratlon, and will without doubt, decide
in Lewiston's favor.
Messrs. Elwell and Higgins are busy pre-
pairing for their European tour this summer.
Their party is limited to 80 and already II
have applied for the chance to go. The
party will be made up by April in all prob
ability. They have decided to sail from
New York, June 7th. on the French line of
steamers direct to Havre.

THE 80 miners who were entombed
in the Hill farm mine near Dunbar iu
Fayette county, on Monday, June
10th, have not yet been rescued.
Ever since the explosion the daily
papers have been publishing accounts
to the effect that indications pointed TO
the rescue of the men on the morrow,
by the rescning party. The rescue is
being made from mine near that of
the ill.fated Hill farm mine, aud the
men are compelled to tunnel about
1000 feet. Reports have been ahoat
from day to day that erroneous sur.
veys had been made and that the men
had tunnelled in the wrong direction,
but they were subsequently denied by
parties who should know. The tun.
neling party has met with many OBJ.
stscles and difficulties, but has toiled
on ceaselessly in the hope of rescuing
their entombed brethren alive. The
dispatches this morning claim that the
rescuiug party are within a few yards
Of where the men are supposed to be
and that the mine will be broken into
to-day. But little hope is entertained
that the men will be alive.

THE Bellefonte Watchmdn fears that
the Philadelphia Democrats who are
just now taking such prominent part
in the politics of the party will lose
all interest in the campaign just as
soon as the nomination is made, no
matter whether the unfortunate be
Pattison or Wallace. This is not at
all improbable. These Philadelphia
Democrats become inactive after the
fun of nominating convention is
over for much the same reason that
Berks county Republicans lose inter.
est in a county ticket after it is chosen.
They have displayed their factional
power and being we'll aware that that
is all there is in it for them they retire
until about the time of the next con.
veution. And so with the Philadel.
phia Democrats. With the adjourn.
ment of the Scranton convention they
will lose interest and the Republican
majority will 60 on increasing until
the sixty thousand that the Watchman
fears will be more than realized.

ing from the Persian Gulf toward
Europe. Once on the Levant and
along the track of the great pilgrim.
age to Mecca, on which it appeared
six or eight weeks ago, its spread over
the Mediterranean is q mere question
of time. 1t may enter Europe in
Southern Italy, which is its usual path,
and was the last one, or it may reach
Marseilles direct, as it did five years
ago; or, as in the present instance, it
may enter Spain. When it does it is
always deadly, and ii is tolerably sure
to spread Northward to England this
Fall or next Summer, but only in spos
radio cases under modern hygienic
conditions. As for this country, it is
perfectly safe from cholera. Typhoid,
which good water would prevent, kills
more people in Philadelphia in year

The Cory Leader, in referring to a
suggestion Of the Gazette, that the
amount Of land to be owned by one
individual be limited, asks: as this
free countryT We answer its ques.
tion by saying no. There is no such
a thing as free country being gov.
erned by law. The individual gives
up his freedom for the general good,
and governs his actions as directed by
the judgment of the majority. If the
majority think it best to limit the
amount of land owned by one citizen,
they have a right to do so. They
have the right, if for no other reason,
because they have the might. That
might makes right is much more gen.
orally true than is supposed by those
who do not examine closely.-Mead
