school was well received. After the ex-
ercises ice cream and cake was served
and an hour was spent in pleasant con
versation. The quality of the cake served
leads us to believe that the young ladies of
the school are as proficient in the culinary
arts rs they are in the higher pursuits of
the school. The proceeds go to increasing
the number of volumes in the school
library.

1t will be at once seen that Judge Powers
has had the wider experience as legisla-
tor and that he has held all the offices Mr..
Batchelder has had, to say nothing of his
long, faithful and acceptable service on the
bench of the Supreme Court. He ranks
well up among the foremost of the able
men composing that court and by many is
regarded as the ablest of them all. His
life has been that of an active, successful
lawyer and Woodworking jurist. When he
has sought political office 1t has been be-
cause the people wished him to take it and
because he felt capable of doing the bust
ness of the office In all the relations of
life, private and public, Judge Powers has
proved himself to be a man of vigorous in
tellect, strong will, earnest convictions
and honest purposes, one on whose capabili-
ties of doing and rghtness of intention the
utmost reliance might always be placed.
