bartender Alleges Maliciousne.s

The damage suit of Samuel Engleman
against Louis Sector, East Washington
street saloon keeper, went on trial in Room
3, Superior Court, yesterday. The case grew
out of the arrest of the plaintiff in 1896,
while employed by Sector as a barkeeper.
The proprietor suspected that Engleman
was taking money from the drawer, and
set a trap for him. That day the defendant
swore out a warrant for Englenans ar
rest, charging him with theft of 80 cents.
Engleman was bound over to the grand
ward acquitted in the Criminal Court. He
now sues his former employee for malicious
prosecution and demands $1,000 damages.

Unfortunate Lady Lamb.

Many Of Byron's most charming and
tender verses are written to Lady Caro-
line Lamb, the novelist, whose life was
sadly interesting. She was married be.
fore the age Of 20 to the Hon. William
Lamb and was long the favorite Of
fashionable circles for her literary nc.
comPlishments, her personal attractive
ness and her grace. Upon meeting Lord
Byron she became the victim of an un.
fortunate infatuation for the poet which
continued three years and was the cause
of much comment The poet is said to
have trihed with her feelings, and q
quarrel took place. For many years
Lady Caroline led life of comparative
soclusion at Brocket Hall. While rid.
ing one day with Mr.. Lamb she met at
the park gates the hearse which was
conveying the remains of Lord Byron to
Newsiead abbey. She was taken home
insensible aud long and severe illness
followed, during which she had spells
of insanity. From this time her man
ner and habits changed, and three years
efore her death separation took place
between her and her husband, who
however, visited her frequently and cor
responded with her. A romantic suscep

GRAND CELEBRATION.
How Portland Will Observe the Fourth Of
Iuly.

The hearty cooperation of the vari-
Gus sub committees of the city govern
ment and the awakened enthusiasm OF
the citizens of Portland make the sue
cess of Independence day, 1898, fore
gone conclusion. The committees have
their hands full with preliminaries and
the hearty cooperation of the mer-
chants and leading citizens assure to
them and all their visitors a royal
good time. The railroads and trans
pOrtation lines are cooperating ear
nestly and heartily, and the strangers
within the gates will be treated to a
patriotic spectacle the equal of which
has never been seen in Maine. The
trades procession will surpass in mag
nitude and novelty that of last year
and the merchants will vie with each
other in the novelty and beauty of
their contributions to the spectacle in
way that will give their Canadian
friends new and extended ideas Of
their enterprise and resources. The
Scotch Highland Battalion of Montreal
with their band and bagpipes will str
the fraternal blood that the events OF
the day are blending in a new bond Of
sympathy, and their bonnets and tar
tans will awaken recollections of
Burns and Scott and give a color to the
scene that will make it a memorable
event in the history of Portland,
Every hour Of the day and evening
will afford a new and delightful SEN
sation of beauty and harmony assuring
a holiday Unprecedented in the history
of Maine. Let every son and daughter
of the Forest City contribute to make
the Fourth of July, 1898. a red letter
day in the annals of that lovely city
which nature in her kindiest mood is
now robinS in her loveliest holiday Sar-

Pickpockets Take sgt from a Mans Pocket
IN an Electric Car.

Archie Mcguire an employee of the
Hallowell Granite Co. boarded an
Electric ear just after the circus
parade, yesterday morning. and when
at the junction of State and Grove
street felt some of the -ther passen-
gers crowding him. He told them to
stop pushing but never though of evil
consequences.
Just before the arrival at the circus
grounds three men jumped off the car
and started toward the tents. Shortly
after Mr.. Mcguire felt in his pocket
which by the way was one Of those
top trousers pockets and found his wal
let containing $27 and an order on the
Granite Co. for $40 more pay gone. He
kept right on to 1IalloWeli and told of
his loss and ordered the company not
to pay the order.

Communication.

Editors of the Kcnnebec Journal:
The eltorial paragraph in your issue
of Thursday morning is one of many eN-
pressons of the somewhat unexpected
and wholly gratifying favor with which
the public and the press have received
the action of the government of Colby
in changing the name of the institution.
1t might not be amss to add word eX-
planning that this change is not to be UNI
derstood as Indicating that it is proposed
to narrow the lines within which the
work of the college is to be carried on.
You truly said Colby has never been Il
university and probably never will be.
The name university was given at 4 time
when the distinction between the mean
ing of that term and of the term college
was not even attempted in this country
ana scores Of schools of similar character
in New England and out of it received Il
like name. 1t Is the opinion of the gov
eminent of the college that the univer-
stiles belong where, with only one or two
exceptions, they are to be found, in the
great metropolitan centCrS where are to
be found in abundance tho indispensable
Elementary aids to graduate study
.zand investigation, namely. museums, Ii
sbrarics,. the courts. the hospitals the lee
xturc platform and the pulpit. Prepare
@ory to the universities is the work of the
$collcgcs. anu these institutions ought to
tbe within easy reach of young mon and
EWomcn of every part Of the country. 1t
rs not likely that we shall have too many
|aor strictly undergraduate work. If the
administration of Colby hal command of
E3nilions for the development of the insti-
MUTTON it would not for moment enter
&ain the idea of being Il university. Its
ambition. however, is to develop the col
lege to a point where it can do in the
broauest and most complete way the
Work that properly belongs to a college
Sincerely yours
NATHANIEL. BUTLER
