Base Ball.

Oxford scalped Rising Sun for
the third time Saturday. The game
was played on the fair grounds.
Oxford had out their strongest
team, with Ruckles and Kafer in
the points, and expected to walk
away with the visitors without any
trouble, but with Mccormick in the
box pitching a strong game and
their ''best'' pitcher being hit in a
lively manner considered them
selves lucky to pull the game out
in the ninth.
Our boys played stronger in the
field than in either of the other
games but were a little shaky at
critical times.
The game was closely contested
throughout and was finally won by
Oxford in the last turn at bat by
good team work. Kafer and Glib
son caught good games while In the
field Russell, Davis, Jenness and
Devon carried off the honors.
What was otherwise an interest
ing contest was greatly married by
the saffron-hued exhibition of home
umpiring by the gentleman whose
duty it was to give decisions, which
disguised everyone who witnessed it.
The score:

Reports from England say that Sir
Henry Ponsonby, private secretary to
Queen Victoria for many years, is dying.
He was stricken with paralysis on Janu-
airy 18th, last, and while at times he has
rallied, he has never recovered. He was
born at Corfu, in 1926, both parents being
of noble families. He served with the
Grenadier Guards ir the Crimea, and from
1862 to '55 was private secretary to the
Viceroy of Ireland, and the Earls OF
Clarendon and ST. Germans, when he be-
came equerry to the late Prince Albert.
He was married in 1861 to one Of the
Queens maids of honor, daughter OF j.
C. Bulteel, NJ. P. His death will be
severely felt by the Queen, he having for
many years been her confidential adviser
and officer.

Speaker Powers.

1t is generally conceded that hon.
Llewellyn Powers has performed the dut'
les of the exacting and responsible POSI-
ton of speaker of the House of Represen.
tatiyes with signal ability and success.
The work Of making up the committees al
the opening of the session, in a body
composed almost exclusively OF his party
friends was peculiarly perplexing one.
That be had the rare good judgment to
accomplish this trying task to the salts
faction of all was the highest possible
proof of his practical wisdom and fore
sight in the management of public affairs.
Under all circumstances Mr.. Powers has
been eminently fair and straightfor-
ward in the performance of the intricate
duties which have deyolved upon him.
He has shown himself both skillful par
limentarian and a wise and safe adviser
in party councils.
Mr.. Powers has been member OF six
Legislatures A native OF Maine, born
on q farm in the town of Pittsfleld, edu-
Gated at Colby University and the Uni
versity OF Albany, N. Y, he settled in
early life in Houlton, AroostOok county.
BY untiring industry he built up in
that place a large and lucrative law prac-
tice. He entered vigorously upon the work
of thoroughly organizing the Republican
party in Aroostook, work in which be
was highly successful. His services upon
the stump were always in great demand.
Political battles in Aroostook during the
war were closely contested. To Mr.. Pow
ers is dle, in large measure, the thorough
party organization In that county and,
under his leadership, its loyal sentiment
was soldified and made a factor with other
sections of the State in the great struggle
for the maintenance of the Union. Mr..
Powers is always frank and courteous in
his treatment of others. He impresses
those who know him with his honesty
and sincerity of purpose. He leaves the
speakers chair with the cordial good will
of his associates, and will carry with him
their hearty good wishes.

The work Of the sixty-seventh Legisla-
ture has passed Into history. 1t has been
an exceedingly busy session, and we be-
lieve that the results Of Its labors will bear
the closest scrutiny. that they have been
achieved with an honest desire to serve
the highest interests Of the State, and
have, In the main, been characterized by
wisdom and conservatism. The only very
large or extraordinary appropriation OF the
session was the one In favor of the East
ern Maine insane hospital. This,it must
be conceded, was justified by the impera-
tive need Of enlarged accommodations for
this unfortunate class Of people. The
fact must not be overlooked. either, that
this money Is to be expended for the con-
dition Of permanent property to the assets
Of the State. Aside from this the appro-
priations have been we'll within the usual
lines The aggregate of all will not over
tax the resources of the treasury. Else
where in this issue will be found, in con-
densed form, a review of the many whole
some and beneficial laws that have been
enacted during the session.
The sixty seventh Legislature was EN-
phatically q working body. Its commit
tees were announced without the usual
delay and entered as once upon the work
of the session. There has never been a
Legislature where more work was done In
committee, or one where 1t was done with
more conscientious thoroughness. From
first to last a commendable disposition
was shown to thoroughly scrutinlze all
measures, and especially those that called
for the appropriation Of money. The faith
full officials of the Senate and House, have
had an exceptionally busy winter, and
will, no doubt, be glad of the rest afforded
by the adjournment. After all the pleas
ATTEST part of a legislative experience Is
found In its associations. Friendships OF
the most enduring character are here
formed to be looked back upon, in after
life, with the sincerest pleasure. Nowhere
do men reach their proper level more
quickly than In legislative body, and
nowhere are they more certain, in the
course of the busy weeks, to be estimated
at their true worth. There are few who
would care to SEQ the work Of session
prolonged, and at the same time few who
can say good bye to its friendships and
pleasant associations without sincere re-
gret
