Epsilon at the annual convention of
that fraternity held at Detroit, Mich,
during the coming week.
A mock trial will be conducted in
Memorial hall. December s, by the

entertaining.

The next meeting of the Association
of Colleges in New England will be
held at Brunswick. November, 1899.
An unusual number of students are
on the sick list at the present time: so
much so that it smacks of the memoir
able "Androscoggin Mischief of last
year.
The forthcoming catalogue will con-
tain reinstatement of the courses of
study; a permanent tabular view hav-
ing been made out. The courses are
numbered SO that student can see
what courses will be open to him dur
ing the whole four years. The enroll
ment according to the new catalogue
will be 233 students
Owing to the influx of good track
material in the freshmen class an I'M
usual activity is existing in that sor;
of athletics; for the first time in the
history of Bowdoin track athletics
there has been continual training dur
ing the fall term. The last week has
been devoted to picking out men for
Bowdoin's Relay Team, which will
compete at the B. A. A. games. next
winter, and some of the trials have
produced time that is both gratifying
and prophetical.

The Status Of rammany.

In spite of the fact that Roosevelt
carried the Empire State. Tammany
proved by the election that it still holds
sway in Greater New York. The Ban
Association, composed of the mos,
reputable lawyers in the city, made q
hard fight against Croker's candidates
for judges, bat could not beat them. BY
a majority Of over $4,000 votes, Tam
many showed it's strength, and proved
that the Tiger is still very much alive
AS political organization, it is still
the strongest. as well as the Oldest in
the country, and its defeats do not
seem to rob it of much of it's power for
any great length of time When Mayor
Strong was elected, a few years ago,
and the whole city government was
turned over to the Republicans, many
believed that Tammany had received
it's death blow. 1t came up smiling,
however, at the next election, swept
the greater city in the first election
held under the new charter, and,
though it went right back to it's old
practices, and ran the town wide open,
it has again been able to prove that it
is still the ruler in the metropolis.
What singing reproach to Americas
metropolis is the local rule of this cor
rupt organization.
Tammany, under Croker. or under
any other man of Cookers character
can never be a representative of good
municipal government. 1t is now, and
has been for years, just the opposite.
1t is generally wise enough to put on
the head of it's tickets men against
whose private character nothing can
be said, but it never dominates a man
whom it cannot use for purposes CT
public spoil. Its organization is kept
together by the careful distribution OF
public office, by promises of position
and hope of the wealth that will flow
therefrom. The better class of voters
in New York keep on fighting against
it, but they do not seem able to kill it.
1t may not be as strong as in former
years, but it is still mighty political
organization, held together by the Co
hesive- power Of public plumber

a leak had sprung in that great embank-

The leak was small when he found it. but
he knew that the action of the water would
enlarge it long before morning, and wash
away the entire embankment, inundate the
country and destroy his own and thou
sands of homes. So he bravely put his
finger in the crevasse, and kept It there all

THINGS you CAN DO
lust as Well as Learned Physician.

Often it is needless to consult doctor
AT such times you can treat yourself
just as well as the most learned physi-
clan. When a man or woman is suffer-
ing from kidney disease, the doctor asks
DO you desire to urinate often, and are
you compelled to get up frequently at
night to make water? Do you have pains
in the small of the back? Does your
urine stain linen? Is there a scalding
pain in passing water, and is it difficult
to hold the urine back?" If the answer
is Yes to any of these questions, your
kidneys are diseased and decay has set
in. Ask yourself these questions, and
answer them.
There is another thing you can do.
Put some of your urine in a glass tum-
bier or bottle, and let it stand "a hours.
If there is sediment or powder-like
substance at the bottom, or a cloudy APP
pearance, there is grave danger. Your
kidneys are surely affected. Sufferers
with any of the above symptoms ought
to be glad to know that DIR. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy will surely re-
lieve and cure even the most distressing
cases. No living physician can prescribe
a medicine for kidney, bladder, liver and
blood that equals Favorite Remedy-not
one. Nearly all who drink beer or whis-
key have diseased kidneys, but Favorite
Remedy removes the bad effects, and 1t
also does away with the use of instru-
ments for pushing back the sandy matter
so that the urine may pass freely from
the bladder. All drug stores sell this
medicine for 81 bottle.
SAMPLE BOTTLE FREE.
Favorite Remedy can be tested without
cost Send full postoffice address to the
DR.. David Kennedy Corporation, Rond-
out, N. Y, and mention this paper. We
will then mail you sample bottle free,
together with circulars giving full direc-
tions. Those who suffer from any of the
symptoms mentioned above should write
at once. Our readers can depend upon
the genuineness of this offer.

The Soldier Candidates.

1t cannot be said that the war
| played an overwhelming part In the
recent elections, probably not so inn
| portant part as was generally ex-
| pected, few months ago. The buga-
boo of 'imperalism" and the frantic
! efforts of the sensational press to in

phantom war horrors did not pre-
vent the country from giving the
President magnificent endorsement.
showing the popular approval of the
conduct of the war and a patriotic
determination to stand by the Presi-
dent in settling the great questions
that the war brought. In this sense
the war strengthened the Republican
party and added to the popularity of
President Mckinley.
But the war had no small effect upon
the political fortunes of many individ-
uals. The soldier in politics is a
strong leader and arouses hearty en-
thusiasm. Not a few candidates We're
helped to Office, last week, by their
part as soldiers in the war with
Spain. 1t is not too much to say that
it was Colonel Roosevelt's war, record
that carried him into the governor
ship of New York. The admiration
Cor the intrepid Rough Rider was uni
versal, and the crowds that thronged
to hear him surpassed all previous
records in New York state campaigns.
General Joseph Wheeler's war record
was the cause of the withdrawal of
all opposition, and he was reelected
to Congress unanimously. General
Goblin was elected lieutenant governor
Of Pennsylvania, running many thou
sands ahead of his ticket. In New
York city Captain William A. Chanler
overcame a majority of 1000 in a
congressional district, and defeated
Congressman Quigg. Lieutenant Col
onel Brodie, also of the Rough Riders,
was elected to Congress from Arizona,
Colonel Hawkins was elected to the
state Senate of Pennsylvania and
Lieut.. John Lind was elected governor
of Minnesota, though he was Fusion
candidate and the Republicans elected
all the congressman and the Legisla-
ture.
There are probably other instances,
and they all go to show that the SOL

imports will be less than last year and
that decrease is in our favor.

The Pine Tree.

The tawny pines bonny tree, his
bouShs grow brave and wide,
The man-flowers and the woman-fowers
they grow there side by side:
he wears blue mist about him when his
hardy leaves are young,
And envies not the willow with her en-
erald laces hung.
He stands in barren places where the
,, young grass will not grow.
His feet are deep in needles of his own
growth cast below;
The boughs tnat used to love them are
-, the boughs that love them still
The willow Keeps the waterside, the pine
tree keeps the hill.
The man-fiowers grow in golden spikes
beside the Woman-flowerS.
The man-flowers die and pass away in
spraying sulphur showers;
The woman flowers they dree their weird
TO watch the winged seeds burst
into the world. and lose themselves amid
the lives they've nursed.
The tawny pines a bonny tree, the cross
bill holds it dear!
Across the seas, across the lands, he
seeks it year by year.
The crossbill is wandering bird, a va
grant of the blue,
But faithfully he seeks the pine as
thrushes seek the yew.
The pine is kindly to the land, and kind
ly on the sea:
And well befall the bending masts that
all of pinewo0d be,
The sea that loves her heart of oak she
loves her pine trees tail,
And who would fiout the pine tree must
fout our admirals all
Then here's my love to pine and fir, red
bark and needle-leaf
May Qe'er a chafer come to them to turn
their strength to grief.
My blessing on the bonny pine the litter
of the sail,
My blessing on his blossom, and cone in
coat-o'-mail!
