Bolivar Public School.

The spring term of the public
school closed last Friday.
The examinations on the work &C.
complished during the last five
months took place Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday: The ex-
aminations were very thorough,
and the children, on the whole, ac-
quilted themselves creditably. The
last session was very pleasant and
much work was accomplished. As
it was the first attempt In grading
the school properly, the work ac-
complished was not as satisfactory
as it will be in the future. The
number enrolled was 1913, which
is in excess OF any previous ENROLL
ment. The attendance was not az
good az it ought to have been, but
it is hoped this evil can be gradu-
ally remedled.
The exercises on Friday morning
consisted in reading the results Of
the examination, awaring of medals
and partaking OF delicious refresh-
meRts, which the following resolu'
ton of thanks will explain:

Closing Exercises Of St. James Hall

The closing exercises of st. James
Hall took place in the operahouse
Friday night. The Opening
Chorus" was beautifully rendered
by a bevY of young ladies. The
rendition of the instrumental Duets
by Misses Susie Black and Annie
Blalock, q. and 1. Bills, Sallie and
Annie Kearney, 5. and M. Nc:
Neal, reflected credit upon the per-
formers and their musical instruc>
tress. The recitations by Misses
Fannie Patrick, Louise Fentress,
Nora Carruth and Bessie Miller
were enthusiastically applauded.
The sweet voices of Miss es
Bessie Tate and Mary Young adj
ded to the entertainment of the
evening. One of the most pleasing
incidents of the occasion was the
comic song by Misses Una Nc
Neal and Marie Kahn. Miss Kahn
was very positive that Katie did,
while Miss McNeal very emphatic
ally asserted that Katie didn't.
The little misses acted and sung
their parts splendidly. Miss Eva
Bills sustained her well earned rep
utation as a vocalist by singing one
of her favorite selections. What
shall we say in regard to the recltals
of Misses Mary Ingram and Ger
trude Carrutha To state that they
acquitted themselves superbly is
to express our sentiments and those
of the audience but mildly. Their
clear, distinct articulation and SUI
perb acting won for themselves COL

Cottage sites to Lease.

In our advertising columns, is brought
before, the public today, one of the
grandest locations for cottage site to be
found on the whole coast of Maine. 1t
is on the Bufus E. Jordan farm situated
on the most southwestern point of Cape
Elizabeth and opposite Higgins Beach.
The land is very high and from it, within
few hundred feet passes the New York
steamers, Boston steamers and sailing
vessels, and presents a Maine view not
excellent in the world. Fish, CLANS and
Holsters are there in great abundance,
and view to the naked eye extending
from the ''foot lights to Old Orchard
Beach and the White Mountains. This
site is certainly not excelled on the en-
tire coast of Maine.

A MAN WITHOUT FRIENDS.
Death of James Hayes at the Maine GEN
eral Hospital.

A week ago last Sunday two men were
coming into Portland on the midnight
Pullman, one of them named James
Hayes and the other Thomas Riley
Hayes was very sick, having been taken
i'll suddenly while ON the train. When
they arrived in Portland he was so badly
off that Riley took him to the Maine
General Hospital. Having done this
Riley continued on his journey towards
Boston. Hayes grew worse at the hos
pital and died. The circumstances of
his death seemed so suspicious that they
were laid before the county attorney and
Coroner Perry was called in. The coun-
ty attorney ordered post mortem exam
ination, which was duly made. 1t was
then found that his death had been the
result of natural causes; SO Mr.. Perry
devoted himself to finding the mans re-
lations or friends. So far he has met
with no success. He thinks that Hayes
came from West Sullivan, but letters
and kilograms to that place meet no re-
sponse. The body is still held awaiting
the finding of friends before it is buried

The Significance of Certain Steamer
t4~ Marks.

The Significance of Certain Steamer
SEQ. Marks.
A good many people do not under
stand the significance of those letters on
the sides of the English steamers near
mid-ship. They refer to lines to load the
ship to. The ssF. W. means fresh water
line and the s'S'' salt water. A ship
loaded in the St. Lawrence river for in
stance will rise some six inches as she
runs out into the more boyant salt water.
The ''W.'' is the Board of Trade mark
and the ''W. N. A." for the water of the
Black Sea. The Plimsol mark or human
ity line as it is sometimes called, is better
understood. 1t gets its name from a
member of the British Parliament named
PlimsolL. So many lives had been lost
and SO much property destroyed by load
ing vessels too deeply that Mr.. Plimsoll
agitated until he got an act Of Parlia-
ment establishing safety load line.
There is a modifying condition that per-
mits the loading foot deeper during the
milder months of the year.
