Benson Monitor: The Hancock
third nine and the Benson third nine
crossed bats at this place last Satur-
day afternoon, the game resulting in
score of to in favor of the Hancock
club. 1t was a pretty game and our
boys should not feel discouraged even
though they were beaten, but try
them again. We believe that our citi-
zens should encourage the boys even
il they do lose a game, and not dis
courage them by singing that old
chestnut, You can't play ball,
whenever they happen to come out
behind. If this was done it would
promote more of this kind of sport in
Benson.

The position taken by comrades
Warner, Fairchild and others of the
committee in regard to the establish
ing of color line in the ranks of the
G. A. R., should be highly commend
ed by all the fair minded people
throughout the whole country. The
colored soldier, in our opinion, is en-
titled to all the rights and privileges
of any of our white boys in blue. Did
they not fight for what they never en-
joyed, liberty? Did they not stand in
the breach and give their lives freely
for the old flag, and to save country
which never owned them or recognized
them only as chattels? All honor to
brave Warner, Fairchild and others,
who stood for equal rights and justice
to the colored soldier. Fraternity,
Charity and Loyalty, forever!

Our old friend Peter Larson says
that the hail storm last Tuesday night
destroyed one-third of his crop. The
line of march of the storm was through
the north and east part of the town of
Hodges, striking the town of Walden
and from there through portion of
Swift county, striking Montevideo.
1t is estimated that about one-third
of the crop in the line of the storm
was destroyed. 1t is dangerous to be
safe nowadays.

MAINE GENERAL HOSPITAL.
Memorial Voted to the Late A. w. n.
CIapp.

AT a meeting of the Maine General Hospi-
tai directors, it was voted that the following
memorial of their late companion on the
board, the Hon. A. W. II. Clapp, be adopted
and extended upon the records of the hospi-
tai. and that copy of the same be commu-
nicated to Miss Clapp:
On the 22d day of March, A. D., 1891, the
Honorable A. W. 81. Clapp ended long and
useful life. From Its organization until his
death, he was an active. Judicious and gener-
GUS director and friend of the Maine General
Hospital, taking deep interest In its prosper
ity, and contributing to its success by wise
counsel, by frequent and liberal aid to Its re-
sources, and by an almost lavish use OF his
time and influence in its behalf. His ass0ci-
ates in the direction were cheered by his I'M
stinted sympathy and strengthened by his
hearty cooperation. They, better than all
others, can appreciate the value of his SER
vices to the hospital. They feel profoundly
their own loss and that of the hospital In
his decease. 1t is appropriate for this board
to regard him particularly, as he was related
to the great charity which he so early took
into his affections and so long aided to ad-
minister. But they would wrong their own
many and striking graces of his character.
They hold In reverent remembrance his un-
failing courtesy, his sp0tless integrity and
high sense of honor, his sound judgment,
his devotion to what he esteemed true and
right, his charitable spirit, and his absti-
ly criticism in respect to his fellowmen.
Living long in all serenity and dignity,
soon after his life had fallen within the linn
its of old age. he seemed in the later years
like tradition Of what was noble and fiue
in private, social and public life at an earlier
period of the state. The directors rejoice
that so large measure of life was granted
to him. and. while they lament his decease,
are comforted by the recollection of his viz
tues, and by the thought that the example of
his life will continue to work for good long
after his disappearance from their sight. To
all most nearly and keenly touched by this
dispensation of Providence, the tender SYM
patby of this board is offered.

Steam er Portland RefItted.

Yesterday the steamer Portland, reftted,
made an excursion in the harbor before go
ing on the Boston route at night in place of
the Forest City, which will undergo an ov-
erhauling. A number of gentlemen enjoyed
the sail with the officers of the company. The
steamer has been repainted and the Office has
been enlarged by taking into it one set of
hunks from the ladies' cabin, making spac-
ious quarters for the clerks. The boilers
have been completely covered with asbestos,
the object being to prevent the spreading Of
heat through the boot, and the prevention of
that sickening odor of warm air which is so
noticeable in many steamers. In fact, ven-
tilation is one of the strong points of the
Portland. In the dining room, for instance,
where many people dread to go on the ordi-
nary steamer, constant current of pure air
is kept circulating by means of great suction
pipes. The rush of air can be made so strong
that 1t will bio " mans hat from his head

Killed BY a LOGON olive.

Joseph Milliken of Scarboro, an old gentle
man, stone deaf. was killed yesterday morn
ing by a locomotive attached to a gravel
train on the Eastern Division of the Boston

side of the track and supposed he would take
care of himself But just before the engine
reached him Mr.. Milliken stepped on the
track directly in front of the locomotive. The
wheels passed over him, killing him in
