OBITUARY..
Miss Cecilia E. Oliver.

About one o'clock yesterday Miss
Cecilia E. Oliver, daughter of Captain
and Mrs. A. S. Oliver, died at her
parents summer home. Miss Oliver had
been i'll for only week, but for some
time had suffered from Bright's disease.
Miss Oliver was about thirty-two years of
age. She was graduate of the Portland
reputation. Her paintings were exhibited
widely in this state, several of them
taking premiums at the recent New Eng
land fair.
The flags on the harhor steamers were
at half mast yesterday out of respect for
the memory of the deceased.

KEPT A PENSION CERTIFICATE.
Mary j. Frazier Fined in the Circuit
Court.

In the United States Circuit court on
Friday, before Judge Webb, Mary j..
Frazier of this city was arraigned upon
information, charged with OBTAINING the
pension certificate of veteran named
Charles H. Coniston. 1t seems that Con-
nison left the certificate with her as
security for debt. Then she refused to
surrender it when he demanded it. The
court found her guilty and fined her $40
commissioner. These costs amounted to
$36. SO. So on the whole it cost Mary J..
Frazier considerable to learn that a
pension certificate may not be retained,
even if it is in security for a debt.

THE VISITORS.
They Still Crowd Trains to the Westward
The Hunters.

The flood of returning summer travel
still continues on the Maine Central, all
the trains from the East rolling into
Union station loaded. The August travel
is fully up to what it was last year, al,
though the bad weather in June and July
caused those months to fall below the
average.
1t is probable that the tide of travel for
the hunting season will be delayed some
what this year. While the open season for
big game generally begins October first,
it does not begin for moose until October
IS. This change was made in the law last
winter. AS many of the hunters have
visions of killing moose they may delay
their arrival here.

The Garcelon Requests.

The Gracelon gifts to Bowdoin college
and various individuals in Maine cannot
be paid yet, although the attempts to
break the trust and divert the money
from the college and the Maine people
have failed. But a lawyer out there
named Noble Hamilton has put in claim
of $50, 900 for legal services rendered, as
he alleges to Mrs. Garcelon. This claim
will have to be settled before the money
can be paid to the Maine benefi Charles
and of course it cannot be settled without
a law suit.

MANITOBA SCHOOL wRANGLE.

Montreal, March 20.-The interview
with Monsignor Delval, the papal dele
gate to Canada, cabled from London
by the Associated Press yesterday.
caused much comment here. The
judgment of the privy council was
that the Dominion government had
power to redress the grievances COM
planned of by the Manitoba Catholic
ministry caused by the act of 1890,
abOlishing separate schools and estab-
fishing a uniform public school sys-
TEN. 1t was held that the act admit
ting Manitoba to the confederation
had guaranteed certain privileges to
the minority in regard to their
schools. The judgment of the privy
council, however in carefully chosen
words, stated that it was not in their
province to suggest the means to be
adopted to redress their grievances:
it simply held that the Dominion Par
lament was competent to adopt meas
ures of redress. The act now being
passed by the Manitoba Legislature
embodies a basis of compromise re-
dressing these grievances agreed upon
by the Manitoba government and the
Dominion government. By enacting
this compromise into law the Manito-
'ba government, it is held by constitp-
tional authorities here, will eventually
bar the Dominion government from in
tertering further in the school laws of
Manitoba, no matter what ground of
complaint the minority may have.
