An Odd Fellows Outing.

One of the most pleasant events to the
members of Carrabasset Lodge No. 81,
|. O. o. F. of Skowhegan was their visit
to Bro. \. d. Cassidy and wife at their
home in Concord on Tuesday Sept. 18th.
About three weeks ago Mr.. Cassidy in
vited the members of the lodge to take
their ladies and visit him at his home.
The invitation was accepted and some
thirty couples availed themselves of the
opportunity to take days outing.
The weather in the morning looked
threatening and many who were intend
ing to go backed out. At about eight
o'clock the party started from Skowho-
gan, going through Madison via lIaydens'
crossing Patterson's Bridge at No. Arson
and thence up the kcnnebec river.
through Embden over one of the pleas,
ATTEST country roads in New England.
The distance from Skowhegan is about
twenty-five miles. the ride was not the
least enjoyment of the day. The par
ty arrived at their destination ut about
half past eleven o'clock, where they
found company of some two Hundred
of the friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Cassidy
from Bingham, Moscow and adjoining
towns already assembled.
The Bingham Cornet Band Was pes
emit and discoursed pleasing music
throughout the day. At one o'clock the
company was invited to take seats at
the tables that had been arranged upon
the lawn in front of the house. and then
the beans that had been baked in the
ground were passed around. The COM
pany had provided picnic dinner, but
cake, pie aud daiuties went begging
while the call for beans was great. At
ter dinner about an hour was spent in
making acquainlances after which the
company was invited to the lawn west
of the house where "A drill by the mem
bcrs of Canton Somerset in full uniform
under command of Lieutenant George
Burns was given to the delight of the
assembly. After this speeches were in
order, Chevellier Cassidy acting As mas
ter of ceremonies introduced Bro. Ar
thur Dinsmore of Bingham. who gave
the address of welcome. after which
speeches were made by Patriarchs Baker
and Burns of Carrabasset Lodge. h. W.
Moore and Donigan of Bingham, and
several others.
Late in the afternoon the company
broke up, many of the purity going to
Bingham and stopping there to the
dance which was given in kennehec hall
The event was a grand success in every
particular and will long be remembered
with pleasure by all who We're present.

Walkers New March.

Mr.. j. W. Walker, the well known
piano tuner and composer, who makes
semi-annual visits to Skowhegan, has
recently written piece of music which
on its first rendering evidently caught
on in great shape. A clipping from
the Boston Globe of Sept, >, says:
The Labor Day concert on the com
mon was, as usual, one OF the features
OF the holiday. And it was an ideal day
for a concert on the common.
From the band stand it was scene of
beauty. IA panorama of light and life and
color.
At three =. NJ, when conductor Bald
win raised his baton for the Boston
Globe march, there was not large
crowd gathered at the stand. but no
sooner did the triumphant strains of
the march resound ON the still air than II
multitude poured in from all parts of the
common, and before the march was
finished there WAS an immense crowd
ready TO applaud.
The march, by j. w. Walker, is dedi-
Gated to Gen. Chas II. Taylor. 1t is a
lively step march, rs full of go as The
Globe is full of grit.

Holu the President Works.


The San Francisco Chronicle thinks the
President works too hard. The President
of the United States works from eighteen to
nineteen hours each day. Cleveland's day
begins at O'Clock By that time he has
generally had breakfast and heard from
Secretary Thurber about the important news
of the day and the most important things
in his morning mail. From S:l5 to a. IN.
he receives gentlemen with whom he has
made special appointments, and another
hour-from / to p. mis- often devoted
to the same purpose. His visitors general
ly want an Office or have called to see the
President about a bill which they want him
to sign or a pardon they seek for con-
demned criminal. Often the 9 o'clock APP
pointments drag along into another hour,
and then it is either cabinet day or the day
for the reception of foreign ministers. AT
ter luncheon there is a public reception
three DAYS week. On such occasions from
500 to 1000 persons, mostly women, crowd
into the waiting rooms, form into line and
trot by Cleveland at the rate of four miles
an hour. 1t does him no good, it does the
country no good, and only benefits the per-
sons seen by enabling them to say they have
met Grover Cleveland.
Before dinner an hour is generally spent
with heads of departments, who come to
report on the business of the day, and at
1880 D. m. President Cleveland has dined
and is ready for the real work of his posi-
ton. II is during the evening that he ex-
amines and notes every bill of importance
introduced into Congress and reads up the
evidence taken before committees. He has
messages to prepare and facts to arrange
that he may be prepared to consult with his
cabinet and congressman about the tariff,
silver and other leading questions. He has
applications for Office and applications for
pardon to study, and it is a fact that he gives
careful and conscientious study to all papers
in both these matters. Every candidate for
Office who is strongly urged on the President
can testify 10 this, for he or his friends are
sure to be told by the President all the OBJ
iections that have been urged against him.
The newspapers, or at least clippings from
them, have to be read, fer Cleveland always
wants to know what is being said. AT mid
night he generally takes light lunch, and
after that goes to bed. He uses up at least
two secretaries every day, and still writes a
good deal with his own hand.

Well Said.

A telegram from Martinsburg few days
age said Hon. S. W. Walker would make
contest for the congressional nomination
year hence. The same telegram is being
repeated in the city papers sent from other
points in the State A day or two after the
telegram had been sent from Martinsburg,
Mr. Walker was interviewed and the origi-
nal report was contradicted. We have known
for many weeks-from the very highest au-
thority-that Mr.. Walker was not candi-
date, and, if we remember the words cor
rectly, had never thought of being a can
didate, and we have known all along the
injustice done Mr.. Walker by the continued
repeating of what he has continually de-
MED. There is not man in the district, II
he reads, who does not know what we think
of Mr. Wilson, but who can condemn Mr..
Walker for his aspirations, whatever they
are. Oftentimes they are born of that in
ner consciousness within man that tells
him he has the means of success within
himself. Ambitious he is, and rightly SO.
Without aspirations and ambitions, goal
to be worked up to, he would remain back
number We know Mr.. Walker and like
him, and will repeat what we have said of
him, as we have known him more and long
er, that he will make his mark, broad and
deep, in our State politics. As was very
aptly said some time ago by the Charles
Town FREE Press in speaking of this very
report, there is nothing to condemn in the
ambition of man to succeed if the people
of the district helped him to success. 1t
would be an honor for any man to represent
Wilson's district in the years to come, but
make no mistake about it, there is no dispo-
sition in sight from the people to make a
change, though politicians are doing some
talking and Matching plan or two.-Berke-
leg Springs Ne,cs.

ness demands can question. hope at the
proper time to submit such an amendment
upon which the sense Of the Senate may De
taken"
Mr.. Faulkner concluded by saying MT.
President. although l have expressed with
perfect frankness aud sincerity the opin-
ions now hold as to the course which II
seems to me best to pursue in the interest
of future bimetalIism. yet have such con-
6dence in the wisdom and patriotism OF
those who have been friendly to the double
standard that shall not hesitate to exer-
else my judgment, and vote as Imay deem
best for the public interests upon any
amendments that may be submitted during
the consideration of this bill.
"Mr. President, history is replete with
instances in which mans inhumanity to
man has made countless thousands mourn,
but a widespread public sentiment, awak-
ening to injustice and oppression, has
always redressed in time the crimes, blum
ders and follies of preceding years. Sur
rounded as we are by the complications OF
the present and the uncertainties Of the
future, we can but hope that we will see at
no distant day conference of the nations,
each member animated and impelled by
motives of the purest national and univer-
sal patriotism, called to settle for all time,
on just and equitable basis, the re-estab-
lishment of silver in the place of honor to
which it is entitled, and to that end must be
directed our best energies, inspired by the
unwayering faith that such consummation
will be a blessing bounded only by the
confines of civilization"

Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia, yes
terday morning again denied story that
had been repeated from Charleston, w. Va.
A few days ago a telegram was sent out
from that place to the effect that Stuart
w. Walker, the law partner of Senator
Faulkner, at Martinsburg, had come out as
a candidate for the nomination for Congress
in opposition to Mr.. Wilson. The report
was at once denied by Mr.. Walker, but i'm
mediately came the further statement from
the same place that not only was the origi-
nal story true, but that Senator Faulkner
was himself backing Walker and doing all
he could to secure his nomination. Yester-
day Senator Faulkner denied the truth of
the statement with much warmth, and said
that it was utterly false and entirely with
out foundation. He said he had always

The Public Schools.

The session Of the Charles Town Graded
School will begin on
Monday, September IL, 1898.
On the first day of the session all pupils will
be enrolled. No charge will be made in any
of the grs des for pupils from Charles Town
District, OF any Of the sub-districts of Charles
Town District. and pupils from other districts
will bring their transfers.
1t is impossible to estimate the disadvantage
Of late entrance and irregular attendance. 1t
is hoped that parents will cooperate with the
teachers in helping pupils maintain good po-
sition in their grades. Parents are therefore
urged to remember that success depends upon
prompt entrance and regular attendance, and
also that interruption Of study By absence is
always injurious. Very small pupils will not
be retained six hours per day.
