A GRAND SUCCESS.
That Is What Is Said by the
Maine Pedagogues.

ments and Foot Ball.
what the Governor and Experts Said Of the
Rural Schools.

Much interest was manifested in the
exercises of the Pedagogical conven-
ton, Thursday. BY 8 o'clock in the
morning many of the teachers had ar
rived at the State House and there was
a large attendance throughout the day
Not only were the attendance large
but the meetings were of an unusually
interesting character, the papers and
addresses all receiving the closest at
tention and being of a high order of
merit, as the features which the Jour
nal Is able to present will indicate.
In every way. this annual meeting
has been a grand success" said State
superintendent Stetson. Just look at
the splendid programme President
White has given us and see what your
teachers here in Augusta have done 10
make it pleasant for the visitors
And Mr.. Stetson said only what one
could overhear in the conversation of
almost any group of the visitors. 1t
was q grand success The Augusta
teachers did do everything within the
power OF anyone to do to make the
members welcome. Moreover a feature
that must not be overlooked and which
was enc of the most enjoyable was the
interest taken by Governor Powers. it
was greatly appreciated.
In the rotunda representatives IF
textbook publishers had placed their
wares on exhibit, and the appearance
during the forenoon, was something
like that of a fair SO far as that part
Of the building was concerned
The bette to do the work outlined in

dictments, Tuesday afternoon. four of the
number being against Richmond resi-
dents. c. 3. Day and Charles Stinson
proprietors of slot machines. were each
fined $40 and costs. the whole amounting
to $2S each. EX-County Attorney Newell,
who has been several times before the
court for refusing to give certain testi-
muny before the grand jury, has not yet
made his peace with the county attorney,
nor has the court interposed IN any EN-
phatic manner. There is considerable
speculation as to the outcome. Captain
Harvey Oliver. well-known Richmond
resident. stands indicted for perjury. Inc
alleged offence consists in statement
made by Oliver to the effect that he mad
no recollection of operating any slot ma
chine in c. b. Days store. and that so
far as he could remember he had no per
sonal knowledge of Others monkeylnS
with any device of that kind. Taking his
word for it, Capt. Oliver simply docs hol
remember about these matters. Inc case
will probably be heard. next week. ,, Inc

Is Life Worth Living?

Ii there Is an individual on earth who is

it is the unhappy mortal who suffers from

This is no difficult conumdrum, however.
Life is worth living by any man or woman
who enjoys good health, and is not har-
raised by reproachful conscience. The
malarial scourge, heavily laid on, is ter
rible one for the sufferer to endure. A
series Of freezings, screenings and sweats

strengthless as a dishrag, are hard indeed,
recurring as they do with fiendish regular
