the association had asked to have tried,
and further work in these lines will be
carried on the coming season. Their report

needs to both work and play and there is
no play better than wondering. The fact
is we know so much that we are incapar
BILE of surprise. If an angel should come
among us, modern men would express
no surprise but would take him to the
club as if we had always lived among
angels.
But still Dr. Jenkins thought there
was more to wonder about now than
ever before. He quoted figures about the
wonders of the sun and added, "Think OF
that and wonder. - He told of the coal
it would take to produce the SUMS heat
and his hearers smiled when he said
Think what it would take to pay for the
coal and wonder y The modern wonder
is the origin of life itself. New wonders
have been discovered not only in the vast
and the far but in the small and the
near. In the minute organism is found
the possibility of life. In the invisible
germ lies the power OF the. continent
desolating pestilence.. There is profit in
wondering 1t prolongs childhood and
nothing is purer and sweeter than that.
The useful Shakespeare did an immense
mischief in dividing life into seven ages
and making them fashionable. People
feel obliged to grow old. The speaker
would be always a child, wondering as a
child. The enthusiasms of childhood do
not die. We are all too conventional
Modern literature puts stress on the things
which should take care of themselves
The present is no time for ceasing to
wonder, no time to disparage it, no time
to say it is childish and should be put
away The running black berry would
adorn the parlors of Heaven, the joints
of my hand put modern machinery to
shame, the mouse is miracle enough to
confound sextillions of infidels "a
Dr. Jenkins then applied his remarks
more particularly to the medical profess
sion Pain and disease, he said, are as
out of place in this world as Satan in
Paradise, and the doctors are making us
so well that they will soon have nothing
to do. The Prince of Disease comes and
finds nothing in us. We are immunized
nounce it right)
Dr. Jenkins spoke in eloquent words of
praise of the devotion of physicians to
their duties. The doctor, he said, is often
a hero without knowing it, an Altruist
without being aware of it, and q
Christian without intending to be. Inas-
much as the doctor spends his time in the
study of life and death he finds many
marvels at which to wonder, and these
truer.
DR.. Jenkins was loudly applauded when
he finished his remarks. No abstract can
reproduce the beauty of the language
with which his ideas were clothed N
After music by the orchestra, Mr.. Keat
ing was introduced; his subject being
"The Progress Of Medical Science " He
referred to the 10Th century as century
of wonders, and spoke of the great truths
embodied In the learning of the past
which should not be forgotten in con-
sidering the progress of the present.
Mr.. Keating referring to the growth
of medical science, said that from
The Portland daily press., 1895-06-27

empiricism it has advanced step by step
until it has taken its place among the
sciences of the word. He showed the
truth of this statement by many illustra-
tions.
Probably no events of the closing days
of the century is of more Importance than
the study of bacteriology. Pasteur and
his associates have shown that dis
ease is due to the existence OF OrganiZa-
tions without the human system. This
would have been perhaps of little interest
were it not for the fact that these germs
of disease can be kept from entering the
human system, be eradicated if they, dc
gain foothold. Mr.. Keating referred to
the alarm felt in the country when two
years ago the news was flashed over the
wires that cholera, the dread scourge OF
the East, was on it's way to our shores,
and then he told how, thanks to modern
medical progress it SUNK back to It's
home by the Ganges
The orator appealed to the members of
his class to take up actively their share
of the work of the day. There is nc
worse suicide than he who kills the talent
which he possesses. For us 1.-The didactic
students we must be still 1t is criminal
today to refuse to grasp the opportunities
which crowd around us.
The address closed with words of appre-
citation of the efforts of the faculty and OF
parting to the members of the class.

The Medics.
There are 2S more doctors in Maine than
there were this morning the years
graduating class of the Maine Medical
school having received their diplomas.
The graduating exercises were of unusual
interest owing to the excellence of the
address delivered by the Rev Dr..
Jenkins, of Portland, and the ability
displayed by Mr.. James Edward Keating
of Portland, the class orator. Mr.. Keat-
ing is an entertaining speaker, possessing
no inconsiderable oratorical power. He
stands among the first five smen in his
class in scholarship When, to the music
of the Salem Cadet band, the class
hail. they found awaiting them, on the
platform, President Hyde, Drs. Dana,
Weeks, Smith, Gerrish, Hunt and Moul-
ton of Portland, DR.. Mitchell of Bruns-
wick, Rev. DR. Jenkins and others. The
body of the hall was filed with the
friends of the class.
In introducing DR.. Jenkins, President
Hyde said that speakers sometimes felt
i'll at ease when facing medical school
class but as DR.. jenkins had II physicians
in his church, no such feeling ould
trouble him.
DR.. jenkins told his hearers in an ad-
dress to which they listened eagerly for
an hour, about the faculty of wonder. He
told how the Greeks and the Jews had
wondered about the mysteries of earth and
sky, as shown in their writings, and
how by wondering they had stimulated
their faculties and come to play their i'm
portant parts in the worlds history. But
modern life has tended to reduce wonder.
Childhood grows shorter. We are in
mills or in kindergartens when we should
be in the fields. We have old heads on
young shoulders, studying, making
change in stores tending machinery; or
else we have the young brain handed
over to the nursemaid while the mother
is at the club or making a speech telling
somebody something he didn't know,
while the child is dead to the wonders
about him. Beauty and gladness are as
essential to a full life as bread Man

When Captain Slater stepped up to the
plate yesterday Patterson was inthe box
for the Kennebecs. McManus was catch.
| ing, because of Kelley's lame leg. Slater
| waited for four and ambled to first Then
he scared to second, safely of course.
Leighton waited for four. Spill waited
for four. What horrible beginning for
| the Kennebecs Three men given as
many bases and no one out. Patterson
was certainly wild as hawk, or better
crazy as loon, for the next thing he did
was to hit Magoon and there was one
man forced over the plate and the ball
hadn't been hit at all
Patterson was Immediately taken out
of the box. He exchanged places with
Baker, out in centre, who came in to
pitch.
Goodhart hit the first ball for a splendid
drive down into the "three base hit cor
ner;" that is, under the trees in deep
right. The base runners came home in
droves, and after Bean threw wild over
third base Goodhart came home too.
There were five runs and nobody out.
Such are the freaks Of baseball.
Our tail enders on the batting list soon
stopped that inning, though we batted
around once, We got one run each after
that in every inning, except the fifth and
seventh. We didn't hit Baker very hard,
but we hit him some, and they made er
rors, and that's how it was Beans two
cause the base runner was in front of him
both times.
The Kennebces opened fire on Sullivan
with very good effect Little Bean raped
out fine double, which Cannon mis-
judged. johnson advanced him to third
with single and he came home, after
Cannon caught Doherty's fly This was
their first and only run and it was an
earned one.
After that our big handsome pitcher
settled down to the invincible pitching
that he can SO splendidly display, when
the weakness of wildness does not take
possession him. He was pitching that
ball just the way he wanted to. 1t kept
coming in over the plate with glorious
speed and the umpire kept calling out
''strike" till we all began to wish that
SOMEBODY would hit it just to vary the
monotony. He struck out eight men,
and after that first inning there were only
two more hits. Both were made by Bean,
and one was a miserable little scratch.
Bean beat the ball to first, before Magoon
could handle the slow grounder. Patter-
son was struck out every time he came to
the bat. Kennebecs best batters were
also victims. Dextraze, Doherty and
Pickett were all struck out.
Baker did good work. He watched the
bases well and caught Goodhart and
Leighton off first very neatly We didn't
steal bases so much as usual either.
though of course that doesn't apply to
Slater, who kept sailing down to second
just as usual

the ball right over the pines, the way you
used to-" and he made a good try, but

ball and got it, in time too, to throw
Plaisted out at second Plaisted, by the
way, beside pitching good game worked
hard to keep his football knickerbockers

at the knee they had a tendency to
elongate and slide down until they re-

scientific games at Bowdoin, but few that
caused more fun. The final score was:

THE STUDY OF GREEK.
Now for graver matters. While the ball
players were at work, the oyerseers were
in session and considered the question of
permitting students to graduate without
having studied Greek. 1t was voted that
such students should be allowed to
graduate and take the degree of bachelor
of science. In place of Greek there will
be elective courses of three years each in
French or German, and in mathematics
and physics. AS this vote is concurrent
with the action of the trustees it settles
the matter.
