| DR.. Woodbury. Pulsifer made a pleasant
| address, in which he said the assemblage
| there showed that the dreams of power and
position which accompany college days are
| not always unfulilled. He said many Of
| those about the table had not dreamed in
vain.
Speaker Reeds "Reminiscences.
Mr. Reed then spoke briefly. He said he
was glad to that Representatives
Alexander and Stevens always had
| chance to speak at the alumni meetings,
although he discovered that they COM
| planned they did not have that privilege
| in the House. He was surprised that they
wanted their rem arks in the Record, where
they would never be seen.
Speaking of remembrances of Bowdoin,
he said they were to him laden with much
sadness.
"If any one had told me when 1 was at
Bowdoin he said, that I would ever
run for Congress or that ! should ever
| be elected if 1 did run for that or any
other political Office, 1 should never have
believed it,"
Mr.. Reed said as he looked back upon
his college days it was not the bright
| fellows who had prospered, who had the
largest place in his heart, but that place
was given to some of the "scapegraces.'
| He said he was glad to learn that today
there is pleasant intercourse between the
faculty and students. There was no such
|
fessors we're regarded the natural enc
mics of the boys, though he made the pres
dent of the college an exception to this
rule, and to him he paid high compli-
ment.
Prof. Chickering recalled many pranks
of the boys during his college days, and
he hoped so long as there were two sons
of Bowdoin in Washington they would
meet annually about the banquet board
| and recall the days gone by.
Senator Frye made feeling references to
Elijah kellogg and to the great work
| he had done for Bowdoin College.
Monument to Longfellow.
Rev. DR.. Sewell spoke of his college
| days and, making reference to the move
ment for the erection Of a monument to
Longfellow, spoke of the monument to
the poet at Portland. He said he had
| noticed a tendency in Washington to erect
statues of military men only. Wherever
you go, he said, there is a statue of
| man on horseback. They all look a good
deal alike. He thought there were men
in other walks of life who should be hon
ored in this way, and he was glad to see
the movement for a monument to Long
fellow as step in a new direction. He
said he hoped the statue to the poet would
be worthy of the man and that 1t would
be erected in a suitable place. He said
LongfelloW had been SO intimately asso-
ciated with Harvard that his connection
| with Bowdoin was apt to be overlooked.
POSTMASTER Cotton also referred to the
movement for statue OF Longfellow. He
said the eight hundred people in the Dis
trict of Columbia who were born in Maine
should be able to carry the project to
successful ISSUE
Horace Jordan spoke briefly and Gen.
Ellis Spear gave an entertaining ADDRESS.
Most Widely known.
Chief Justice Fuller made some further
references to the movement for statue Of
Tonufellow and he said he was aatisfied

Gathering Of Graduates in Shoreham
Banquet Hall.
CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER PREsIDEs
Every Member Present Native of
State sof Maine.
THE OFFICIAL BOARD

Bowdoin College. one of the Oldest edu-
cational institutions of the country, can
boast an alumni of the most distinguished
men in the history Of the United States
The sixteenth annual meeting Of the alum
nj of this city held last evening at the
Shorehan was a notable gathering 1t
was not large assemblage, but among
those who gathered about the table in the
banquet hall of the Storeham were a num-
Der of men who are at the head of the
affairs of the nation. There were the
chief justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States. the president pro tenn of the
United States Senate, the Speaker of the
House of Repres entatives and others
holding high positions in official and bust
ness life.
The gathering was essentially a home
affair, considering the state Of Maine as
the home of those present every member
of the alumni gathered about the board
being native of that state. Senator Frye
represented the earliest class to which any
of those present had belonged, he having
been graduated from BoWdoin in 1850
The youngest member present was his
grandson, William Frye White of the
class Of 81, and there were representatives
of most of the years between those dates
Stories of college life and of changes that
had taken PLACE in alma mater made the
evening an extremely enjoyable one, al
of pathos in references made to loved
graduates of the institution who had pass
ed to another life or to those who had met
misfortune.

MARKET FEES FALL OFF.
A Considerable Decrease During the
Last Month.

A Considerable Decrease During the
Last Month,
The receipts of the market have decreas-
ed considerably during the last month,
lessening the city's revenue from that
source. The receipts have fallen off over
500 a week.
This is ION account of the fact that many
stall tenants have adopted the method OF
using the stalls only on Saturdays Espe-
cially is this the case with fish dealers.
In other branches of the market the deal
ers are either using the stalls less, or have
given them up entirely. Mr.. Lee Masters.
IN charge of the market, states that the
present conditions there are nothing like
what they We're a month ago.
Prices in several of the departments
have advanced. Tkfs is the case with the
butchers, who now have to pay an increase
OF about cents for Western meat. which
is now said to be nearly a half cent high
er than 1t was last year at this time.

DIR. STONES PIGEONS.
One Turns Up at Getsinger, S. c., and
six More Sent out Yesterday.

six More Sent out Yesterday.
The Morning News received a letter yes
terday from p. M. Warn of Getsinger, S.
c., stating that a pigeon with the name,
G. H. s., Savannah, Ca, attached to 1t,
arrived at his place about May II.
The pigeon was one from the loft of DR..
George II. Stone. He sent a number out
on the City of Birmingham with Capt. c..
S. Burg on May 9, and this was one of the
birds that failed to return to the loft
When asked if he wanted the bird again,
DR.. Stone replied that he did not care for
any bird that could not find it's way home
Anyone who finds a bird that cannot make
his way back home can have him, DR..
Stone said.
DR.. Stone lost one of his best birds day
before yesterday, perhaps the best one he
had in his loft. 1t was his 400-mile bird
it having flown that distance from the
City of Birmingham on her last trip. He
thinks that the flight was too long a one
for the bird, and that it died of a weak
ened heart.
DR.. Stone sent six birds out with Capt.
Burg on the City of Birmingham yester-
day, but none of them will be released
until the return trip. They are ffty-mile
birds and will he taken to New York and
then released when the Birmingham is
within fifty miles of Savannah on her re-
turn. DR.. Stone had thirty or forty good
birds short time ago. but now has only
about dozen, the others having been lost
In various ways.
