Fryeburg.
MRS. JAcoBs's RECEPTION.


The scene at 1.-THE Oxford" parlor Sat
urday afternoon was fairy one, it being
a five O'Clock tea, given to her friends by
Mrs. Hale Jacobs, the we'll known vocal
ist of Maiden, Mass. She is now a guest
| at the Oxford. Mrs. Jacobs is great
favorite in Fryeburg, where she has
spent several seasons as the guest and
| friend of Mrs. b. N. Stone. Her rich, con-
tralto voice is greatly enjoyed by the
Frey burg people, and not less her charm
| ing presence and genial social converse.
The parlor was beautifully decorated
with autumn leaves and the tables,
piano and mantles fairly blazed with
bouquets of brightest flowers. The
! patter of the rain had ceased and the sun
broke from the clouds just as the guests
assem- bled, and the flood of sunshine that
streamed in at the western windows and
fell upon the fruits of the field, the
forest and the garden made picture
that glowed with the liveliest colors.
Mrs Jacobs was dressed in a pink silk,
adorned with flowers, and as the rays OF
the setting sun fell upon her, surrounded
by her admiring friends, the picture was
one that will live long in the memory OF
those who beheld it.
The table was spread in the west end
of the parlor and Miss Mae and Sue
Weston poured, while Misses Minnie Pin
gree, Willie Goruon, Clara Lovejoy and

redolent with flowers and was fringed
on either side with delicate border OF
crysanthemums. Miss Rachel Weston
| and Martha Abbott acted as ushers and
presented the guests. A piano duet
was rendered by Mrs. Lord and Mrs.
Kellogg, which received hearty applause.
This was followed by two vocal mum berss
| by Mrs. Jacobs, Grade song" and
| Among the ouests were Miss Thomas OF
Portland, Captain James Whitmore of
Rockland, Mr.. and Mrs. Stone, Mrs. d. R..
and Mrs. E. E. Harding, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs.
Nick jenny, Mrs. M. B. Barker, Miss H. A.
| Pike and IF. Lewis. Choice bouquets
were sent to Mrs. Jacobs by Miss Thomas,
Merrill, Mrs. Newman, Mrs. John Weston
and daughters, Mae and Sue. Captain
Whitmore provided the fine display OF
autumn leaves. On retiring each, guest
was presented with pretty bouquet.
Mrs. Judith W. Andrews of Boston, a
native of Fryeburg, gave an address
| under the auspices OF the Woman's club,
| character and work of Pundita Ramabai.
| Mrs. Andrews goes to India soon to learn
more of the great work now being carried
| on there by this remarkable woman.

from New York firm OF capitalists.
The bid, which is very near par, will be

Notes.

AThe miners Of the state are vastly in
terested in the new federal law passed
during the last session OF congress, and
approved by the president, relating to
assessment work" on unpstented min
ing claims. In consequence of many re-
quests for information the full text Of
the act Is printed:
An act to amend section numbered
1924 of the Revised Statutes of the United
States relating to mining claims.
Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives OF the United States
of America, in congress assembled, That
the provisions of section numbered 1924
of the Revised Statutes of the United
States, which require that on each claim
located after the 10th day of May, 1872,
and until patent has been issued therefor
not lees than 500 worth of labor shall be
performed or improvements made during
each year, be suspended for the year
1893 30 that no mining claim which has
been regularly located and recorded as
required by the local laws and mining
regulations, shall be subject to forfeiture
for non-performance of the annual
assessment for the year 1885, Provided.
that the claimant or claimants OF any
mining location, in order to secure the
benefits of this act, shall cause to be
recorded in the Office where the location
notice or certificate is filed on or before
December 81, 1898, notice that he or
they, in good faith. intend to hold and

Needles Eve Notes.

Dan Lewis was in town this week
from his mining claim 30 miles down
the river. Dan says he has a good
thing, having struck gold ore running
SIG to the ton. He reports also that
Pete Mcguire has uncovered a rich
deposit of copper in the same neighbor-
hood, while Robert Young has I'M
earthed rich ledge of silver.
Says the Mining and Engineering
Press: 1.-The editor of the Needles Eye
recently went to Vanderbilt mining
camp, and returned convinced that it's
future is most bright" Yes. There
are several good mines there, and while
there are possibly some bad ones, 40 is
the case in all mining camps. Wander
bilt will yet demonstrate that the faith
of her earlier prospectors has not been
misplaced.
n the reducrion works Will soon be in
full operation. Some needed machinery
that had to be ordered from New York
ia expected to arrive in few days.
Messrs. Fairfield and Sheridan are de-
termined TO spare no expense to insure
satisfactory handling OF ores, and aim TO
deserve the confidence of miners.

EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY.
AN INTERESTING MEETING HELD
YESTERDAY.
The Value of Drill in Arithmetic in
Primary Grades - A Arithmetic
in Grammar Grades.
Other Matters.

The Los Angeles County Educational
association met in the Spring street
school building yesterday at 10 am,
with Prof. 9. E. Hutton in the chair.
The absence Of the minutes of the last
meeting was accounted for by the secre-
tary. Mr.. Edward Hutchinson, after
which Miss Mary e. Fcy of Los Angeles
read paper ON the Value of Drill in
Arithmetic in the Primary Grades.
Miss Foy claimed that the children
are required to do too much analytical
work in arithmetic and too little in the
way of drill in addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division. All chill
dren should be able to do the work
accurately, but az matter of fact almost
none are accurate.
In the third, fourth and fifth grades
most of the work in arithmetic should
be in fractions.
People who are accurate are usually
strong, self-reliant and ambitious.
Therefore plead for drill, constant and
accurate.
Mr.. J. B. Willard, principal of the
Sand Street school. gave very excel
lent lecture on the metric system of
weights and measures, showing the
origin, use and beauty of that system.
Mr.. Willard estimated that if we were
to use no other system of weights and
measures our pupils would be saved two
years of useless labor, and the business
world would be greatly benefited.
The ease with which such syatem
| can be taught should commend it to all
teachers. 1t is lamentable fact that
nine-tenths OF them mangle it horribly
as nov handled. ssW
Mr.. q. W. Stroininger of Pasadena
read a paper on Arithmetic in the
President Eliot OF Harvard, who claims
for primary children, to the neglect of
all thoughtful studies. Children are
worried through long lessons in arith-
metlc, when they cannot comprehend
any such abstruse matters, and should
be studying something else. Young
misses of IL or IA are made to worry
over bank discount and true discount
and such absurd stuff, which they need
no more than they need Choctaw, and
of which they comprehend as little.
Mr.. L. l.. Evans OF Pasadena spoke on
geometry in the grammar grade. He
claimed that we have too much mathe-
NAUTICAL work in the lower grade. We
drill innocent children on mathematics
which they cannot understand, while
they use language which they cannot
understand. They are few useful ideas
in mathematics. yet we drill all pupils
thereon, while the living, throbb;ng
universe goes almost unnoticed. Is it
not time to change into sentient beings
A very animated discussion was in
dulSed in by Colonel Hill of Norwalk,
DIR. Hoose of Pasadena. Prot. Molyneaux
of Pomona and DR.. Leroy d. Brown.
Dr.. Hoose praised all the papers in
general, but claimed the right to attack
Miss Foy's paper in detail.
The statements OF DR.. Hoose were
criticised strongly by DR.. Brown.
At the next meeting the teachers will
listen to addresses by business men, no
will tell them what they expect OF the
schools.
The association will meet at the same
place on the second Saturday of next
month.

The day ehowed that there ia pluck
and energy in the Alhambra Athletic
club seldom found. Every detail had
been looked after--the comfort OF racers
and spectators, condition of track, and
selection OF officers. Congratulations for
the mastery way all was managed were
showered in by men long used to eastern
race meets.
OF the track, the time made in the
races speaks better than words, but it
may also be said that it was we'll nigh
perfect. The track, quarter of a mile
in length and 20 feet wide, is constructed
differently from any which ever came
under the writer's observation.
Instead of banking from level at the
pole, the level is taken in the center,
making the pole two feet below the level
and the edge two feet above. This was
done to save expense, as a boy who had
never seen bicycle track surveyed it at
firft, and it has been a good thing, as
Walter Foster and Emil Ulbricht, men
well known in the cycling world, say it
is the fastest track in the state today,
and the plan OF grading could be copied
with s@3cess by more pretentious clubs.
Tha snrtace, composed of hard black
clay. was scraped 80 smooth that it
actually reflected the sun.
The prizes we're far better than ex-.
pected, the three medals being about
the neatest ever seen here, and the
many merchandise prizes being of con-
siderable value. No complaints were
made regarding the distributing, and all
we're more tnan pleased with their tro-
phies.
Not word of criticism or complaint
was said, as far as could be learned, the
whole day, officers and participants
dealing with each other in fair man
ner.
The club taught athletes lesson re-
Gently by black-listing seven who made
disturbance on the ground.
Los Angeles riders are to be praised
for their nard work, and the club is sure
OF brilliant future.

THE FLORIDA ENoAMPMENT.
II Was a Success, and Everybody
Satisfied with It

Ocala, Fla, Aug. 19-The encampment
Is over. Camp Dunn is no more Ia view
OF the fact that Ocala contributed 5000
10 securing the encampment, and other
sums expended in that direction amount
ing to several hundred dollars, the ques-
ton naturally arises how did the Brick
CITY come out on her speculation'
II YOU viii take the opinion of those
who gave, for instance, a dollar, and only
got dollar back, il was poor invest
meut. But those who take a larger,
more business-like view Of the immediate
good secured and the prospective benefits
10 the town, think we Jared well.
Socially, the camp was big
success. In a military way it was
not up TO the high standard set
by the commanders of many state
camps-the boys wanted fun and got it
and sometimes INDUCED in it with
rashness that left their acts open to
grave criticism. Too frequently there
were as many soldiers in town as in camp.
But, all in all, Ocala is pleased. One
pleasing feature of the encampment Is
that all the soldier boys were delighted
with the grounds and voted them the
best arranged and most accessible of
any they ever occupied.
