Bates and Colby Will Debate the Immiora

wednesday morning, when it was

select the question while Colby SHOULD
have the choice of the affirmative or
negative side of the question.
Bates submitted a question in regard
to the restriction of immigration. To
this the Colby students objected on the
ground that the question was alto
gethar too old. The Colby men wanted
something more modern and up to date

The science of wealth and what savings
means to the saver will rather forcibly
impress the average mind when facts
and figures are brought to notice. At al
nearly all savings banks and other insti-
tutions where interest is allowed on de-
posits, small sums. undoubtedly set aside
through frugal living, have remained un-
disturbed on the books of the bank for
years, yet have earned for the dcpositor
four and often five times the original sum
placed with the bank for safe keeping.
An instance is on record at the Halo
we'll Savings Institution, where five times
the original amount accumulated in Il
space of 50 years, and now represents Il
handsome figure. In March 1S6S. the ac-
count in question credited sa57.02: on Au-
gust LIST, 1885, the account amounted 10
Sl549.G2, and no deposits have been made
during the 80 years and more which have
elapse1

LAMP ExpL0DEs.
And Charles Kings Baby Narrowly Escapes
Death from Burning.

Officer Roderick's faithfuness prob
| ably prevented Charles Kings badly
| from being burned to death, Wednes-
day morning, as the explosion of a
lamp had set fire to the child's bed
clothing While it was asleep in the crib.
When the child's parents went 10
sleep, Tuesday night. they left a light
burning on a table near their bed ard
the child's cradle. Shortly after l
o'clock, Officer Roderick was passing
and seeing a bright light in the house
investigated. AS soon as he had look
ed into the matter he discovered that
the table on which the lamp was
placed was afire and the flames had
communicated with the bed clothes on
the child's cradle. He at once reused
the child's parents who with the as
sistance of the officers extinguished the
flames.
1T is thought that the lamp exploded.
1t having been left burning, during
the night, as when the officer arrived
the kerosene had been thrown onto the
ped occupied by the parents. When
the fire was discovered the bedding
was burning and the fire had commu
nicated to the table.
The parents and officers at once
threw rugs and water onto the flames
and in a short time the fire was ex-
tlnguished. The burns which the child
received were very slight and far from
pelnS dangerous. The prompt action
and hard work of Officer Roderick was
PROBABLY what saved a serious fire.

POLO.
The First Game Of the Season to Be Played
in The Coliseum, This Evening.

The polo season in Gardiner will be
opened, this evening, at the Coliseum.
when the local team will give battle to
the Skowhegan team. A hot game is eX-
pected. Every polo crank in Gardiner and
lots that are not cranks will gather at the
rink, this evening. not only to witness the
best of polo but to encourage the local
management, who have gone to great eN-
pense to get together a team of polo
artists.
The two teams will be represented by
such men as Jennele of Fall River, DAILY
of Taunton. Moran of New Bedford,
Booth of Providence, and Scribner Of
Portland. John France of Fall River,
will play at goal tend for Gardiner. ana
it is said that he is one of the best men
in the business. All these men have been
selected with great care and it is said
that they are as fast as any men who
ever played in a Maine rink. Jennelie
played halfback on the Wallingford team
OF the Connecticut League in 1897. and
was called one of the fastest men in his
position in that league.
The Gardiner Juniors will play the Hal
lowells at 1.3O The league game will
commence an hour later.

A WEEK OF sTUP0R.
Death Of Mrs. Hannah Sampson Of Winslow.
Wednesday Morning.

Gastl.tis which have developed into
conditions which have been puzzling
the physicians. was the cause of the
death of Mrs. Hannah the wife of
Wendow Simpson, Wednesday morn
iEg.
Until six weeks ago, Mrs. Simpson,
although 70 years of age, was an un-
usually active woman and had been
able to do all her own house work,
which was not inconsiderable from the
fact that she lived on a farm. When
she was first taken sick she continued
her work, but three weeks ago was
Obliged 10 go to bed. \ week ago the
illness took peculiar turn and she be-
came partially unconscious and had
since remained in a stupor. She was
not able TO retain any food and.
Wedne sday, died from the effects of
gastritis.
Mrs. Simpson was a woman who was
universally loved and respected by all
who knew her. She had a large circle
of acquaintances i'll the neighborhood
in which she lived and all held her IN
the highest esteem. She was a mem
Der of the Baptist church in Winslow
and had always taken an active in
terest in the church work.
A husband, two daughters, Mrs.
Longley of Portland, and Mrs. Martha
Welma of Rochester, N. B., and four
sons, Daniel. Reuben. and Hollis of
Winslow, and Eliza of Thorndike. sur
vive her. The funeral will be held
Friday morning at 10 o'clock. from her
late home in Winslow.

The Colby students are making life
miserable for one of their number who

planning to spend the evening in one
part of the town, and while on his way
was obliged to pass the door of one of
his flames" When he was opposite
the house where she lived, he STOP
ped off and Knocked at the door Not
receiving a reply he went on his way.
On his return. at 10 o'clock. he stopped
off at the house. and seeing light in
the parlor window did not stop to go
to the door but raped on the window.
The young lady frightened half to
death, at once blew out the light and
rushed to tell her father. Her father,
thinking that some one was prowlins
around the house with malicious in
tentions. loaded his shot gun and stood
guard until 2 o'clock the next morning.

/, forward to as one of the chief social
| events of the season. Preparations are
begun weeks before the date fixed and no
pains are spared to make the entertain
ment the very best possible. Conse-
quently the fairs have won a splendid
reputation and always draw very large
crowds. This year was no exception In
spite of the terrific wind and the miser-
able walking, the hall was crowded. The
scene as one entered was very pretty and
attractive.
Booths, beautifully draped. extended
along both sides of the hall. They were
in charge of the following ladies: Fancy
work, Mrs. C. G. Totman. Mrs. w. III.

Mrs. j. +. Robinson.
The juvenile cantata entitled 1.-The
Crowning of the Fairy Queen was beau
tifully presented. There were so children
in the east and all were beautifully or
picturesquely costumeu. The songs and
dances were of unusual excellence. o. A.
Learned took the part of prince. Mrs.
Mary Neal, princess, and Miss Mary
Evans was crowned fairy queen.
The hall was crowded to it's utmost ca
racity. Dainty refreshments were served
during the evening. This afternoon, the

The Power of Song" will be given, fol-
lowed by a dance. Dinsmore's Orchestra

From his long experience on the seas,
Capt. Smell knows that part Of the coas.

matter yesterday, he said he believed
the Portland was foundered long before
she struck. His line of reasoning was
that mad the Portland had even tar
pauiin" as head sail she would have
fetched out around the cape and
not gone ashore. His theory is that
some part Of the machinery was dis
afbled and with the Portland in the

The home of James Parent at the
Plains narrowly escaped destruction
Sunday night, during the the storm.
During the night a fire. resulting from
the defective chimney, was discovered.
The fire at that time was wholly con-
fined to the region of the chimney and
after sharp battle it was extinguish-
cd. Had the fire been allowed to gain
headway, that night it is probable that
nothing could have prevented the total
destruction of the house, as on account
of the snow and the storm, it would
have been impossible for the fire ap-
paratus to arrive in time to be of as
sistance.

One partridge, probably the last of
the season, was brought into the local
market, yesterday. The close season
commences today. and no birds can be
shot after II o'clock last night without
breaking the law. The statutes of
Maine, however, allow the dealers to 10
days in which to dispose of the birds
which they nave purchased previous to
that date. After Dec 10 a dealer hav-

just as liable as the man who shot the
