Cousins Society.

The members of the Cousins Society
met on Saturday evening at the home
of Mrs. S. n. Castle. After several at
tractive musical recitals, short and in
teresting addresses were made by
Prof. S. H. Mead. professor of physio-
logical psychology in the Chicago Uni
versity, gave a brief account of his
trip to Hawaii He said he was much
impressed with the scarcity of the ma
tives, and it seemed to him that in
these Islands struggle was going on
between the Oriental and Occidental
races, and many interesting social
questions would be raised. Rev. Mr..
Swing of Oberlin College, followed
Rev. Mr.. Gulick, and Rev. Mr.. Bling
ham said there was great need of mis-
sionaries to the Japanese on the ISL
ands. Mrs. Mead, the president of the
Mount Holyoke College, spoke of her
pleasant visit in the Islands. One gen.
tleman spoke in desultory way of the
effect of wealth on the Chinese, and
the self-culture of the japanese, but
he had evidently not studied the sub
ject. The gathering was not large, ow-
ing to the absence of many members
on vacations, and there was marked
decrease in the spirit of hilarity
which usually prevails in the meetings.
The lack of numbers was easily made
up by the intelligence, age and virtue
of those present.

possible, and all the witnesses were ex-

From the questions asked by General

Gently the brutal methods of loading

WINGED that the substitution of other
methods Of transportation from shore

manded by mere humanity.

of at least one of the stalls of skinning
certain variety of scaleless fish and
also removing the entraits, while no
attempt is made to kill the fish out

some time after this inhuman treat
ment; they are peculiar variety and

it, gave as a reason that the fish would

1t is not much of anything now. 1t
is only a slight reminder of what has
been and what our fathers had to en-
dure, in those days when where we
now stand was once the abode of the
noble red man" and all that. OF course
1913 years ago there was not much Of
the city of Waterville hereabouts. The
people of those days were just begin
ming to think of Waterville and think
ing, they had to arrange for pro-
gramme that made it possible for them
to bring out of the wilderness and
the grasp of the Indian, the beautiful
spot that we now call home, and are
all proud of. Prior to 1854 there had
been more or less drift along the banks
of the beautiful Kennebec, the Indian
having his inning most of the time
The cruelties of the Indian were
equalled in every way by the bar
barfsm of the Englishman who knew,
in those days, nothing Of arbitration
but simply war-war prosecuted along
any lines, under any circumstancDa.Ap
long as the contest ended in the favef
Of the English.
But it does not matter in this general
tion who was most a. fault for the blood
that was shed during the Indian wars of
Maine. 1t is enough that the land was
wrested from, the native and that the
native has gone to his last long home
almost to a man. 1t has been said of
the noble red man that The could not

tions against the Indian and his own
course the Indian retaliated, for h.
was human like the rest or at least
the most of us. The powers that had
to do with the qualification of the
river" did not stop to consider that
the Indians had a grievance-the land
and the river, the brook and the forest
We're what was wanted and any means
to get it was contrived.
After many crimes had been COM
mftted by both the Indian and the red
man, it was decided that a special eff
fort must be made to control the river.
The French still claimed the Kennebec
as their western boundary, but when it
became necessary to'take the Indians in
systematic method of procedure as
against both the French and the In
dams. Word came to the governor
that the French were building fort
at the head waters of the river. About
the same time, Fort Richmond, which
had been built by the English at a
point on the river just above the pres
ent village of Richmond, was visited
by a band Of go Indians who warned
the occupants Of the fort that If they
did not leave the section at once, the
Indians French brothers would come
down the river and drive them away.
This condition of things becoming
known to Governor Shirley, he caused
the General Assembly to be convened.
. The Assembly authorized the govern
or to build other forts on the river as
far up the river as he deemed
advisable. The governor opened ne
gctiations with the then famous Ply

mouth Company and made arrange
ments with them by which two forts
should be constructed, one by the au-
thorities at Teconnet and the other by
the Plymouth proprietors at Cushenoc.
This was early in the year of 1854.
When the river opened in the spring of
that year an expedition of 500 men,
under Gen. John Winslow, set out.
Governor Shirley soon followed and
ION a fork of land formed by the Ken
nebec and Sebasticook, the latter
emptying into the former about three
fourths of a mile from Teconnet q
fort was built. To this the name OF
Fort Halifax was given. Three block
houses were built and connected with a
stockade as shown in the cut accompany
ing this sketch.
The first commandant of Fort Halifax
was Capt. William Lithgo, who had 100
men at his garrison. The fort had not
been built but a short time before it was
assaulted by the Indians and they sue
ceeded in killing one soldier and captur-
ing four others. Nov. 6. 1854, party OF
the men attached to the fort were in the
woods cutting timber when they were at
tackled by the Indians and one of the
whites was killed Hostilities soon broke
out between the French and Indians on
the one side and the English on the other,
although the two countries were nominal
ly at peace. The fighting Indians were
drawn into the war by the French and
most of them took part in the affair. but
enough of them remained to make
trouble for the garrison at Fort Halifax.
During the year 1855 one man was shot
near Teconnet and another captured

stand before the victorious march of
the sons of light and he has been
driven back to the margin of the Pa
cific." The Indian has gone some
where, the manner of his going is fanil-
lar to every school child of the land,
and we are only reminded of the fact
that the red man was stern reality
when we come across some of the relics
of those bye-gone days, and in these
piping times of peace and prosperity,
observing them take a few moments
to think of what they are and what
they mean.
They are relics of barbarous times,
reminders of the horrors of early civil
ization in this country, they recall our
history study and always seem to car
ry us back to the days of our child
hood, so much nearer the day when the
Indian was with us in all his native
simplicity and ofttimes pure cussed-
ness. But we always get down to the
fact that the pure cussedness of the
aborigines was finally overcome by the
wanton cruelty Of the white man and
so we quit them on equal terms.
For many years the Indians OF the
Kennebec river had been led in their
spiritual welfare by the Jesuit Priest,
Father Sebastian Rasle, and their de-
votion to him in the dark days that
followed the proclamation that he
should be captured and made to suffer
by the English, was truly touching.
All along the river for years, the white
man had traded with the Indian,
made him think that the white mali
was his friend and generally succeed
ed in winning the Indian over to
friendship to the extent that depreda-

Tn to 9 o'clock Sunday evening, the
sorrowing family of Ralph H. House, who

morning of Oct, s, had heard no word
nor discovered any clue to his where

Venerable as when without sign or word
Ralph passed out from among his fell
lows as quickly and completely as though
the earth had opened at his feet and
closed again. at
The last seen of him was by a school
mate to whom he remarked that he was
going to the observatory to meet one of
the instructors there. He then wore
blue cap and his light overcoat. He
could not have had in his possession more
than s. in money. He left his room as
anv school boy would who expected to
Immediately return. His trunk was I'M
locked and everything else indicated no
nurpose on his part to do anything out
side his usual custom. Neither did he
betrayi by look or word any distresS of
mind or hallucination.
