lege occurred today.
The exercises occurred in Memorial hall
and began at 10 O'Clock. The oration was
by Mr.. Fred Keith Ellsworth of Brock,
ton, Mass. Mr.. Ellsworth is very good
speaker of commanding presence. His
oration was typical class day oration.

class was seated on the raised platform
about the tree which was draped with
flags and bunting of the class colors,
brown and white.
The first man called upon was George
Monroe Brett of Auburn who delivered
the opening address. The address was
very brief but very good and pleasant.
After the next music President White
introduced the class day historian, Mr.
George Edgar Carmichael of Medway,
Mass. The history was followed by the
class prophecy by Mr.. Stephen Osgood
Andres of Rockland.
The closing address by Mr.. Alfred Page
Cook of Portland completed the literary
exercises.
When the music had gone echoing
through the vines, the seniors arranged
themselves on the grass for the pipe OF
peace grace. Mr.. Edward Gilman Pratt
with experienced hand lit the big pipe and
started it on it's round
Then the beautiful ode written by the
class day odist, Mr.. Charles Herbert
Holmes of Brewer was sung by the class.

GANG OF BURGLARS CAPTURED.
City Marshal of Waterville Makes Impor.
tant Haul.

Waterville, June 22.-City Marshal Reu-
ben A. Call of Waterville has about COM
pleted a bright piece Of detective work in
his breaking up of a gang of thieves who
have been breaking and entering stores
on the "Plains" for months. Five hun
dred cigars and a large amout of groceries
were among the numerous losses.
Kings store was entered Monday night
and pork and other edibles taken. Here
Calls spoilers got in their work and he
was able to place one of the men who is
known as "Lashus.' - This is but one
of the gang, however, the officers being
upon the track of another.
Lashus has been frightened into con-
Tossing to 10 breaks and thefts, but will
not give his companions away.
Three boys have been captured and are
being examined. These are accused of
entering Lincoln's store earlier in the
season. The store broken into Monday
night is on lower Main street and is a
fruit store. AS yet it is uncertain how
many are connected with these breaks.

track cleared for the delayed cars. Among
the other cars held up were the last cars
to Morrill's and Westbrook, but fortunate
ly there were very few passengers on
these.
The motorman on the car, which was in
collision was Thomas Little He was very
much affected by the accident and told
the following story to the reporters. He
said: "My car was one of the last in from
Riverton and having discharged our PAS
sengers at the head of Preble street we
started for the Morrill, Corner barn at
twenty five minutes to eleven O'Clock. We
were running at moderate rate Of speed
and was sounding my gong at regular
intervals. 1t was very dark at this point
in the road and I could not see very much
beyond the path Of light which was
thrown out by our head lamp. Suddenly
when was about one hundred feet away
I saw the circus team pull directly out
across the track. The driver shouted at
me and I shouted at him, at the same
time griding down my break until bent
the handle bar and reversing the con-
troller. The car is quite heavy and it Is
pretty hard to stop it very quickly. 1 did
the best could and think that 1t had lost
some of its headway when it struck the
team. When the heavy car struck the cart
it smashed the forward wheel and broke
the leg of the off horse. The drivers left
leg was hanging down over the side of the
cart and this was pinned against the cart
and broken by the hood Of the car
The motorInan was very sure that he
was not running above the ordinary rata
Of speed and the conductor of the car
named Oscar Moses corroborates this
statement.
Bryant, the injured man was picked up
by the circus at Suncook, N. H., on May
9th, when the show was at that place. He
had nothing else to do and was hired asa
driver. He has wife and one child living
at Suncook.
No one seemed to blame the motormau
for the accident. 1t was evident from the
position of the wrecked cart that the
driver of it had tried to cross over to the
other side of the track and had succeeded
in getting directly in front of the ap.
preaching car. Just what steps will be
taken in the matter could not be ascer-
tanned last night.

Biddeford, June 22.-It has now been
practically decided that the Portsmouth,

bridge near York Village thence across a
field and come out again on the highway
near the Albracca hotel. This will leave
York Harbor entirely off the route and

The Bird of Paradise.

A creature of most gorgeous beauty
is the bird Of paradise. AS an orna-
ment of beauty and grace, the bird of
the sun-or bird Of God, as it is some
times called by the people of Ternate-
stands unrivaled, and no bird has given
rise to more romantic and fabulous
tales; such, for instance, as the ridicul-
Gus assertion that the bird Of paradise
lives all its life long on the wing and
in the air, and is born without legs.
The natives of Gilolo and New Guinea
have a curious custom Of cutting off
the legs of all dead birds of paradise
offered for sale or barter, and this may
have given rise to the legend as to the
bird being without legs. The true rea-
son, however, for this peculiar opera
ton is that the birds are supposed to
be much better preserved, and the ma
tives are also enabled to more easily
wear them as ornamets to their he'll
NETS in mock battles.

and the Apaches-the latter under the
famed Chief Cochise-made it unpleas-

distinguish that land.
Every man in our party walked
with his rifle at his back and his pis-
tolls in his belt, and when we lay down
on our blankets at night our weapons
were within easy reach, and our pick
cts were as carefully posted as If we

prisoned. He cleared things out pretty
well in the house, but the owner SEEM
ed to care nothing about the missing
fur coats, sealskin sacks, silverware
and other valuable lares and penates,
but he did bewail the loss OF his book
of flies. The other things he could buy
again, but to get together such an as
sortment of valuable flies seemed to
him an impossible thing. He had been
years collecting them, picking up odd
ones here and there, until, for quality
and variety his book could not be ex-
celled. 1t was fly storehouse, as it
were. No matter where he intended
fishing, or whether for trout, bass or
salmon, he could always find a choice

it, but all in vain. He has gone to the
expense Of sending to the prison, in
distant city, and endeavoring to pre-
vail upon the convict to divulge the
hiding place Of the book, but without
success. A persistent search of the
pawnshops and periodical advertising
have produced no better results.
There were flies in that book for
trout and salmon in Irish waters; flies
for the salmon and trout Of the Scotch
lakes and the English streams, and
flies for the salmon of Norway. The
favorites from Maine to California, and
from one end of Canada to another,
were collected in that wallet anything
and everything from the featherdown
midget with cobweb suit to the lordly
salmon fly, abrolutely irresistible to
the lurking salmon deep down in the
icy pools Of the Cascapedia. There

hooked, each fly carrying with it mem

had frosted his hair had not lesseued
his wonderful skill as a horseman.
He came fearlessly toward us and
shook hands, saying as he did so, with
the manner of an educated man: MY

hear Of me before?"
l told Mr.. Bronson never had heard
of him before. but to save his pride.
for the confession seemed to give him
pain, l added: II am a civil engineer
and have not been long in this re-
gion."
"a civil engineer" he repeated.

tains?" and he waved his hands about
him and looked as if he thought me
an intruder. l told him that if he rode
back toward our party with me

time l expressed my surprise that any
man should venture into such Danger

said, "but 1t is impossible that a rail-
