AN ICE SKATING RINK.

Work has begun on the grading of the
Deering base ball grounds for the ice
rink which is to be opened there this
winter. The work will not interfere
with the foot ball games, and 1t is not
the intention to open the rink to the
public until after Thanksgiving. The
work of grading will be carried on so
as to be benefit to the grounds for base
ball, as the diamond and portion of the

A MISTAKEN IMPLICATION.

To The EdatOr OF tNe PTeSS:
The implication that the words of the
Battle Hymn are claimed as written by
Mr.. Chapman in the programme was
hastily made. Mr.. Chapman's namo is
in line and type with Wagner, Gounod
and Lassen as music composers.
If there were any doubt what the words
following the title mean Baritone solo

no doubt that written" applies to
music, not words,

words of Programme the name of the

figure that vertical writing must be more
legible than slanting. AS to the second
point the desks Of school rooms do not
allow of the free movement necessary to
rapidity in slanting writing But the
vertical writing may be made rapidly
with the finger movement, because it oc-
cupies much less space, while it is equally
legible.
The vertical writing was also beauti-
full because it was simple and plain.
The old idea that f1ourishes are necessary
to beauty has disappeared. Now SIM
plicity and legibility are the tests.
The economy of space could be de-
monstrated geometrically.
AS to the hygienio advantages, the
vertical writing keeps the elbow close
to the body and the muscles are in more
advantageous positions.
Mr.. Shaylor said he had not adopted
vertical writing yet, as he wanted to be-
come fully assured There were certain
difficulties about desks, as upon them
depended much of the success of the
method.

introduction of the studies into gram

sent, Superintendent o. M. Lord was
drafted to take this place. Mr.. Lord said
he could answer the question in the
affirmative provided the grammar course
was large enough. He thought it would
DO especially advantageous to introduce
Latin, quite easy to use algebra. Geome-
try might be put in if it could be taught
properly. This he realized was very
difficult. Mr.. Lord cited cases where the
experiment. had been tried with success.
Mr.. W. FL. Brownson of the Portland
school committee took the negative side
SO far as the schools of Portland are con-
cerned Instead of enriching the present
grammar course, there should be more
thoroughness in what is done. 1t is not
at all the practice in the high school of
the country to teach Latin in the grades
below the High school, Only few cities
are doing it. Chicago tried the expert
ment and is satisfied with it.
Mr.. Will o. He1sey of Freeport said he

A PRESIDENTS RECEPTION,


An Incident Of . Trip to washi,gtoa
Many Years Ago.
An old timer was in q reminiscent
mood otter trip to Washington, and
among other things recited the follow
ing incident which could possibly occur
in NO other country ON the globe, and
which seems to show the fervor of a
most fervid race and gives an insight
into President Andrew Johnson's char
acter as man such as could not be
found in a dozen histories of the man
who held every elective Office in the
power of our sovereign people, from con-
stable Of Columbia, Tenn, to president
Of the United States:
1T was just following the impeach-
ment trial." said the narrator, "when
Mr.. johnson was making his grand tour
Of the country. His party put up at the
Spencer House, which was then q swell
hotel When the presidential party were
leaving the Spencer, the carriages were
driven from the hotel entrance across to
the east side of Broadway, and it
CHANGED that the one in which Mr.. John
son and Secretary Stanton were seated
pulled up in front of genial Ed Quin-
toms railroad hotel, then at Front and
Broadway, but now, like poor Ed, no
more.
SAT that time an old Irishman named
Kennedy. nicknamed the Democrat
was employed as houseman at Quinton's,
and CHANGED to be standing at the front
door with the youth who was ut once
clerk and bookkeeper of the railroad.
"'Wurra, who's the little fat fellow
they're all shakin hands wut?' asked
old Kennedy of the clerk
President Andy Johnson was the
reply.

hat firmly between his knees, spat ON
his hands, extended the right and ex-
claimed:
Wisha. how are ye, Andy, my da-

1.-The beaming smiles on the face Of
the old Irishman were reflected ON the
presidents as he grasped the honest
hand.
"'Never better, my old friend. How

THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.
What the President Desires In the Minis
ter to the Spanish Capital.

ter to the Spanish Capital.
Washington, June ia correspond
ent on the train that was taking Presi-
dent Mckinley to Nashville wired the
following last night anent the Spanish
mission: President Mckinley is still
earnestly considering the appointment
of successor to Minister Taylor at
Madrid, and this Of course recalls that
the man has not yet been definitely de-
cided upon. He regards as essential
that his selection shall be not only
self-poised man of affairs, but acquainted
as well with international and CONNER
cial law. For various reasons, personal
and general, the names of several who
are evidently fitted have been eliminated
from further consideration. Recognize
ing the fact that Taylors successor may
be maker Of history, and that the
nation at large is more than ordinarily
interested in his choice the president
wants to be assured of two things be-
fore final decision is reached.
First, will the man be satisfactory
to the United States, and second, will
he be willing, if asked, to accept the
great responsibility of the post. Judge
Cox is very highly regarded. He is
peiicNSu u COIllDlIle the nGeQeO,
but whether or not he would leave the
well-earned studious quiet of his latter
years seems to be a matter Of some
doubt. This query applies to the case
of ex-Secretary Tracy, ex-Minister Kas-
son, ex-senator Edmunds and Hon.
Stewart L. Woodford, each Of whom is
regarded by his friends as well-equipped
for the mission. 1t is believed a general
expression through the press as to the
desirability for appointment of one or
of the other of the gentlemen named
might not be ungrateful to the chief
magistrate, while it would be we'll for
friends of each to let it be known wheth-
er the post if offered would be &C.
cepted.
OF course 1t is within the bounds Of
possibility that some eminent gentle
man who has not as yet ben named in
this connection may be chosen, but that
Is not likely, since the winnowing pro-
cess has been going on for several weeks
and available timber has been carefully
scanned. In brief. the president, before
making the appointment, must be as
sured in his own mind that the man
chosen is equal to the place, is salts
factory to the people, and is willing to
accept.
