STATE COLLEGE.
The Largest Freshman Class
That Has Ever Entered.
New Courses of Study---Interest in
Military Matters Increasing.
Foot Ball Taking the Lead for Spart Amonu
College Athletes.

ORoSo, Sept. 24.-(Special. THE fall
term of the college year opened Thursday
Sept. g. with nearly the full quota of old
students and an addition Of 30 new ones, so
OF whom are taking the regular freshman
work, and the remainder goods taking spe-
cial studies in library work.
The freshman class this year is the larg-
est that has entered since the college was
established, and makes the number of stu
dents rearly POO. On account of this
increase, quite large number of them are
Obliged to room about town, as the dormi-
tories are crowded to their greatest capac-
ity.
This fall, three new courses, electrical
er gineering, pharmacy and library course -,
have been added, and are sll largely
attended, electrical engineering being the
favorite.
The military department of the institu
ton has also felt the effects of the large
entering class in so much that the battalion
has been divi ed into three companies
irstead of two, rs formerly, which necessi-
ated the appointment of more officers, who
have been busy drill ing the freshmen pre-
paratory to encampment, which is to be
held in Portland, during the first week OF
October.
Owing to q change in the schedule of
studies, lessening the number of hours
required in the class rooms, more time is
being put on general athletics and college
ports. The prospects this fall are very
favorable for a good foot ball team, and
schedule is being prepared for series of
class games to determine the champion
class, which will undoubtedly cause the
development of great deal Of foot ball
material outside of what is found on tn,
Varsity team.
During the past week, workmen have
been at work on the new athletic field
Enough Of it has already been leveled for
the new diamond, which, by spring, will
probably be in good condition to get an
early start in baseball as we have been
unable to do on the old diamond, Oh
account of the water remaining in on it go
late in the season.

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

The people of Dixmont are Just now
wrought up to the highest pitch of excite
ment over the sudden death of the little son
of Elias Cowan, 8 years old, under circum-
stances that afford strong suspicion that
he was murdered by poison. Elisha Cowan
Of Pittsfield, a brother of Mis-. Cowan's
husband, and both the doctors who attended
the sick child, are firm IN the belief that
there was foul play, and an investigation is
leudly demanded by the citizens of Dix
mont, Plymouth and surrounding towns
Bangor News.
The Bar Harbor Society for Cruelty to
Animals" agent, Capt. Lyman, last week,
uotified Doctor Bailey, State veterinary, of
some suspicious cases of glanders at Winter
Harbor, and Saturday the doctor arrived
and found three bad cases in the stables of
Alfred Risteen & Co., and at West Gonlds-
boro another At Flanders bay another
morse was condemned, and at Steuben n
bad case of farcy, making six cases dis
posed of Saturday, all having been exposed
to the diseased horsss at Winter Harbor
The doctor also went to Millbridge to see
two other reported cases, but they had been
apirited away before his arrival.
1t is reported that a clue has been
secured TO the murderer of the late Angus
tus Sawyer of Monmouth. Deputy Sheriff
Wallace Berry of Winthrop, who has since
the start been one of the most eager work
ers on the mystery, told three prominent
citizens of Monmouth, Saturday hight, that
at last the guilty person had been traced
and located; that the testimony against the
man was most conclusive, and that in the
minds of such men as Detective Ira True,
County Attorney Carleton, himself and
several others, there was but little doubt
that the grand jury would render an indict-
ment on the force of the testimony given
before them, and that within few weeks
the readers of tire press wouli be informed
of the arrest and accusation of murder of
the man at whom the hand of circumstan-
tial evidence points so strongly. It's said
that the suspected party is now outside the
State, but is nevertheless under the closest
surveillance.

THE EVE or BATTLE.
New York Democracy Arrayed in
Solid Columns at Saratoga.
Judge Gayaor wiihdraws From Race. ard
Result Mere Uncertain Than Ever.

SARATOGA, n. V, Sept. 24.-The Democ-
racy has arrived, and Saratoga is over
crowded. On the eve of the conyen-
ton, after talking with the party leaders
and exhausting every avenue of in
formation, nothing can be predicted
with certainty as to the result. Several
men will be named and voted for according
to the belief of the delegates as TO their
ability to win in November. If there is a
slate it is carefully concealed. At mid
night, tonight. it is any body's race.
David B. Hill arrived little after 6,
this evening. He talked with Mayor Gill
roy, Corporation Counsel Clark, Police
Commissioner Martin, District Attorney
Fellows, W. Bourke Cochran and Delaney
Nicoll After the conference Mr.. Nicoh
said that Senator Hill expressed friendly
feeling for John Boyd Thacher, but indl-
Gated no preference.
Judge Gaynor undoubtedly had the
strongest support, and was regarded as the
candi late most likely to win by the infuen-
tial men of the party during the day and
evening. At 10 this evening, q telegram
was received from Judge Gsynor, announc-
ing his withdrawal from the race. When
it was shown TO Senator Hill he
expressed no surprise. The fact
that the Unitarians wi only allow
use of Convention hall for the preliminary
organization of the Democratic convention,
tomorrow afternoon, neces stating the post
ponement permanent organization until
Wednesday morning aroused talk of VIM.
c. Whitney for the head of the ticket.
The Albany men arrived with a John
Boyd Thacher boom this noon. Daniel N.
Lockwood is quietly awaiting developments
without posing as an ambitious aspirant for
gubernatorial honors. Frederick Cook is
more talked of for second place than for
the head of the ticket. Senator Hill is still
talked of in spite of his many positive
announcements that he will not accept the
nomination.

u.ing mix from the Patterson Bros, j
proper care is exercised in handling tn,

While il has not at any time been con.
i lerei that the fever germs were impaired

The herd, it appears, has been considered
all right all the time.
The board found, in their examination OF
the farm, thst every precaution seemed to
be taken by the proprietors, who have useG

The PatteTsons are as anxious as any
member Of the board, or in fact any other
person, to prevent the spreading of the dis

The cans will be boiled each day for at
least an hour. which will destroy all dis
ease germs, and the Psttersons are again
allowed to supply milk to their customers

T.. W. lowe in the Atchison Globe.
If wives don't want to catch their
husbands, they shouldn't watch
them.
There are not as many people in
the world as there are heroes in
novels.
After a child is twenty years old,
its mother has no right to tell how
old it is.
1t takes about four generations of
riches to produce a boy without
freckles.
1t is not what we know about the
next world that frightens US, but
what we don't know.
1t is a dull man who is always
talking about a dull town. A bright
man gets a eve subject.
Every woman has an idea that it
ought to be a pleasure for a man to
work for money for her to spend.
Those who have the best times
when they are young, begin the
soonest to nurse their rhumatism.
The world is unfair. 1t tells you

MEN IND U'OMEN.

Juniu~ Henri Brown. IN the century.
Every woman has an ideal husband
before marriage, and a very real one
after il.
No woman is capable of inspiring
so intense and lasting Il love as one
who feels that she is unIuvable.
a married woman is always wiser
than an unmarried woman; but it is
often the wisdom that comes from
disappointment, sorrow and discon-
tent.
Many a woman who has made a
man unhappy for a time by declining
his offer of marriage has, afterward,
earned his eternal gratitude for hel
discernmcnt.
Most women are inclined to b,
very leuiCnt to any oifeusc ON the
part of a mar which he can max,
them believe springs from thcil
attractiveness.
To know some women is TO know
the whole sex. They seem to com
bine in dazzling b"cwildermont the
virtues and vices, the charms and
counter-charms Of womankind.

spiriting, bliss -imparting quality, yet
it is always conceded to be such a
right womanly talent that the highest
compliment that can be paid to one
of the other sex is to liken his pow
ers of sympathy to those of ours.
The men whom one must depend on
in the dark hours of life, when ILL
ness and sorrow and losses depress
the most buoyant nature, often pos
sess in the highest degree the power
of neutrality-suspicious., whose mere
presence seems to bring healing ;
lawyers and clergymen, whose help
glows with the unaffected goodness
of their sunny natures; and others,
Weighted with the exacting cares of
business life, who yet have a pleas
ant word and n bright smile in even
the darkest hour of their own
troubles.

RAISED A CHURCH DEBT.

From the Mid-Continent.
An incident occurred at the First
Presbyterian church in Kansas City,
which illustrated the vigorous life
of that growing church. A debt
of some SAC had for some time
been resting on it. Notwithstanding
the financial depression, it was
determined to see whether it could
not be lifted. Quietly, without any
ado, or any request of help from
any source, the people, when asked
to relieve their church of this in
~cumbrance, put their hands into
their own pockets and raised the
entire amount on the spot, and a
handsome surplus beside. Some
other churches would do well to
make note of this excellent method
of paying church debts.

The Hiawatha Uorid tells Il good
joke ON a Brown county man who
forgot his wife. She accompanied
him to town AM when he got ready
to return, he forgot her and went
home without her. There are so
many men in this world who forget
their wives. There was n time when
she was always remembered, but
she was not a wife then; She was
a bright laughing girl then; she
was told, then, that she would
always be remembered, that he
would never forget her, and poor
soul, she believed him. She daily
saw her father forget her mother.
but mother was not young and
handsome and attractive as she
was and she did not believe she
would ever be like her mother.
She knows better now, she sees
herself forgotten daily. The club
room is so attractive and the as
sociations 80 pleasant that she is
forgotten rs she sits at home will
no company but the memory o
n time when she was sure, O sc
sure, that she would never be for
gotten. She is forgotten when he
goes down to the Office or shoE
in the morning and left with the
coal and water to carry, and ther
if she il tired and cross in the
evening it is SC easy to forget hei
with more pleasant companions ovel

forgets her warnings for love ant
sympathy, and the promises made
during the days of courtship; h,
forgets that it is his forgetfulnesl
that has changed her from a light,
hearted, happy, handsome girl t,
a cross, tired, and forgotten woman
And when she closes her tired ewes
when the loving heart that vainl,
yearned so long to be remembered
stops its beating, she is soon for
gotten. Woman's suffrage is tn
