In the absence of Mayor Petit, Capt.
Bolton was called to the chair.
The resolution passed ut n former
session of the Board, granting the mem
beers of the police force seven days
furlough, was, on motion of Mr.. Yer
der, ordered to go into effect at once,
aud that the leave of absence be III the
order of application, one iuIlough to
Zach relief.
1t was ordered that tho members OF
the force appear in their new summer
uniforms on Tuesday, the 2Sth inst,
aud that there be public inspection
of the force on the City Hall green ut
~ O'Clock on that day.
The application of Officers Wynn
and Curtis to be appointed detectives
on the force were received and filed for
Gu ure action.
The case of Officer Wade was again
called up and the testimony reheard.
The Board, desiring to allow the officer
an opportunity to establish his inDo.
osnce of the charges pending against

the case until the next regular meeting
of the Board in order TO give him the

The statement published that reports of
nuisances, obstructions on streets and
broken pavements are daily sent into

the Sanitary and Street Inspectors for
their attention, the Board not having
jurisdiction over this matter.
The Board was of the opinion that
tie practice of certain lawyers who
have cases before the courts of enileaY
oripg 10 place discredit upon tho tesii.
mopy ut officers before these tribunals
and eDdeavorlpg to tuEn their argn
ment into prosecution of the witness
is wholly objectionable, and il was the
sense of the Board that the officers
should appeal to the presiding Justice
or Judge OF said court TO protect them
from these unjust aspersions of this
character, aud upon the failure of the
court to grant said protection the
officers should GEEK to protect them
selves.

BaccaIaureate Sermon.

The first on the program arranged for
the annual commencement exercises Of
the Skowhegan High School and Bloom-
field Academy. was the sermon by Prof.
Ropes Of the Bangor Theological Semi
nary, before the senior class. at thf Con
gregational church, yesterday morning.
The class attended in body and a
large majority Of the junior class, and
the teachers of the high school joined
them. Aside from the pupils OF the
school a large audience was present,
made up of the regular worshipers at
that church and friends of the class.
Prof. Ropes discourse WAS practical.
scholarly, and intensely interesting.
The text was from job 2s:2s.- Behold,
the fear of the Lord that is wisdom
and to depart from evil is underst and-
ing. The first part OF the chapter from
which the text was taken referred to
mining; the students had just finished a
course Of mining in search of knowledge.
Among the many good points which be
clearly demonstrated was: Education is
not like the filling of a bottle but the
growing of a plant, not simply the infu-
sion OF knowledge but the development
of all the capacities. The student who
is unwilling to perform faithfully the
small things will never have an opportu-
nifty for the great. The only way to get
into a larger sphere is to more than fill
the one now in. The value of education
is untold, but its importance is lost if il
does not make our lives more useful
and that life only is useful which is Of
value to God.
Excellent music was furnished by the
regular choir consisting of Mrs. +. b
Hill organist, Mrs. f. Dunton, Miss
Leora Withee and Messrs T. f. Harris
and NJ. l.. Mari.
