California was opened for business
this morning hack stopped in front
of the premises, occupied by three men.
One of the occupants informed Cashier
Morgan that Joseph Eddy, one of the
party, wished to speak to him. Nor
gan stepped to the vehicle and asked
Eddy his business.
Receiving no response but vacant
stare. he repeated the question and
then made the startling discovery that
he had been talking to dead man.
The two other occupants of the hack
were equally astonished when they as
certained that they had been in COM
pany with corpse.
A few minutes before the CHASTITY
discovery Eddy had spoken to his
companions, remarking that his eye
sight appeared to be growing dim.
Eddy had been unwell for short
time and was on his way to st. Mary's
Hospital for treatment, accompanied
by his two friends, when the hack
stopped at the bank.
The deceased had been a resident of
the Comstock for more than thirty
years, during twenty of which he had
been employed as Waterman at the
Chollar Combination shaft, and held
that position at the time of his death.
He was a native of Cornwall, Eng

Correspondence.
High School and Commercial School.
ELLSWORTH, May 10, 1894.

ELLSWORTH, May 10, 1894.
To the Editor Of The american:
Finding that there Is among many Of our
citizens a misunderstanding In regard to the
proposal to unite the high school and the
commercial school. l wish to state. In as few
words rs possible, the position OF the school
committee upon the subject, IN order that the
matter may be intelligently considered by sll
" no are Interested,
First. It Is not Intended TO abolish the COM
mereial school, but instead TO widen its useful
ness. When the change Is made, the same
branches taught for the past few years In that
school viii be taught IN the winter term, aud
the same. or better, opportunities will be given
for students 10 enter for a short time, and
pursue special studies, that have been afforded
by the commercial school.
The reason for the change Is simply that in
that way better facilities can be given to
students OF both schools. and better instruction
can be obtained without increased cost to
the city.
A few instances may be given to show the
truth OF this statement: In both schools
algebra Is taught; under the new plan all who
took this study would enter one OF the high
school classes, of which. In the winter term
there are three beginning, one half
through, and one reviewing the entire book.
Bookkeeping, commercial law. and arithmetic
are other examples OF the same kind In each
OF which the classes might be united without
detriment and at great saving OF time. 1t
must be plain 10 all that II this were done. the
teachers OF both schools could put more time
upon these and other studies, to the great
benefit OF all.
Further, such a union would be or special
advantage to the high school. since pupils who
desire to graduate could have the advantage OF
q commercial course which is now impossible,
while the student who came only for the
winter would have a larger list OF studies from
which to choose.
IL there are any objections to the combiua-
tion OF the two schools upon which have not
touched, | shall he glad to hear them, but |
cannot see how any can be found.

Supervisor of schools.

The district comprises the counties OF Han

Hancock county there are thirty towns and
four plantations, In kennebec twenty-nne
towns and one plantation; in Somerset twenty
six towns and thirteen plantations, and In
Waldo tweniy-six towns.
This district includes some OF the important
towns 10 the stste-among them Augusta,

and Belfast.

Bueksport. Burnham. Norridgewock. Emb-
den, Arson, Madison. Canaan. Winterport,

Baker has Augusta, Mercer. Vassalboro.
Spear has Farmingdale, Randolph, West
Gardiner.
Unpedsed delegates have been elected in
Pittsteid, although they are supposed to favor
MillikeB; skowhegan. but supposed to favor
Miliken; Clinton. but supposed TO favor
Baker.
The following bit OF gossip is from the Ban.
gor Commercial (dem).:
Commercial man today that he felt confident that
Congressman Seth l.. Milliken would be his own
successor.
The gentleman Is an ardent supporter of Ex-
Attorney Gen. Baker of Augusta, but he thinks
that Milliken will receive the nomination.
The people Of our district don't want Milliken
any longer, said he. They tired of him and
want some one else. kennebec county should
have the right TO name the candidate, and they
should unite on one man.
mir. Baker is getting the largest number OF
new men, but am afraid that Senator Spear of
Gardiner, when he finds be cannot De nominated,
will turn his votes to Mr.. Milliken. Ii looks
very much that way just at present. Mr. Baker
Is no politician and Is placed at disadvantage on
that account.
Il don't think there are many men outside OF
Gardiner, who want TO see Mr.. Spear nominated,
and don't believe It is possible for him to be.
think as / said before, that after the first few
ballots, Mr.. Milliken will be renominated"
