COLLEGE BOYS AND FOOTBALL,
Items of Interest About Portland Boys at
the Universities.

The freshman class at the University of
Maine numbers 95 members this year.
There are four Portland boys in the class
as follows: Oscar Harrington, Edwin S.,
True. Alvin NJ. Watson and Arnold s.
Watt. Other young men living in the
vicinity of this city are: Harry B. Burns
w estbrook. Harry e. Cole, and Perciyal
81. Mosher of Pleasantdale, Elbridge A.
johnson of Stroudwater and John Clifford
Warren of Westbrook.
Wilbur A. Anderson who is at Amherst
has succeeded in making" the varsity
football team as quarterback. Anderson
captained last years high school team
and showed himself to be man of excel
lent judgement and good general. As a
tackle Anderson hasn't his equal in
Maine. He will make record for him
self in Amherst athletics SO his friends in
Portland think. ri.
The University Of. Maine eleven will
contend with the Bates team on the col
lege gridiron, at Orono Saturday, Octo
Der 8. There are % to 30 out for practice
every night, and Mr.. James f. Coombs
is doing very efficient work as coach. The
boys are in good condition and in the best
of spirits, and will give the visitors hot
contest that day. The team will probably
line up as follows: Center, Caswell; guards
Bird (captain), Perkins; tackles. Arms,
Wormwell; ends. Clark, Palmer or Page;
quarterback, Hatch or Palmer; halfbacks,
French, Hatch orDavis; full back, Grover.
Colby College has light weight foot
ball team this..year. Dr. Butler the col
lege president, in an address delivered to
the students Monday showed in his re-
marks that if football was to be played at
Colby it must be done with true college
spirit, an interest to be shown that defeat
should come only in contest with superior
knowledge and strength of the contes'
tants. Three classes of men should be ex-
oused, he said; first, those physically di g.
qualified, second those who had no inter-
est whatever in the game; and third those
who had no time to put into it, others
had best get down to work, and they are
doing it.
Arrangements are about complete for a
game in this city between Colby and
Brown for Saturday or Wednesday OF next
week, probably the latter date.
Among the three fitting schools in Lew
iston and Auburn, football is on with a
will. L. FL. S. is very well satisfied with
the work of the team at Augusta Satur-
day and the boys are greatly encouraged.
With the exception of the first few min
utes, they played as good game as the
Augusta boys
At the Nichols Latin school the boys are
not downhearted in the least. Although
the score was largely against them,
score was largely against them, they are
confident of defeating Thornton when
they play the retrun game in Lewiston.
E. L. a. S. is practicing with energy
for their game with Wateryille High
school next Saturday at Waterville. Coach
Murphy has returned to lewiston from
Brunswick and is now giving strict at
tention to putting out good team. With
his return the boys are turning out regu-
larly and Murphy will put good team
into the field if anyone will.

He always left his patients better than

Only at great intervals could he
spare the time to take these little trips

life. He loved the water with the en-

majesty and simplicity Of nature. 1ht Ia,

As he looked across the waves, tipped
with silvery crests, his thoughts turned
to her. With all the passion OF his
manhood he had loved her. Although
nearly thirty years had passed, deep
regret, a passionate protest, always
rose in his heart as he thought OF her.

Mother Bruin and Her Cubs Discovered
Drunk by an Adirondack Guide.
John S. Early, an old Adirondack
guide, recently had an experience on
the Fulton Chain that will keep him
in good humor during the whole sum-
mer. A week ago while returning on
snow shoes from Fourth lake, he heard
a commotion in lumber camp. Creep
ing to a window he saw a sight that
caused him to doubt his senses. Three
bears, a mother and two cubs, were IN
the room of the shanty. One OF the
cubs lay in q stupor on the floor. The
other cub was struggling to Its feet
and the old bear was cavorting ABOUT
the room. She fell over the cubs,
poked them with her nose and stop
ping now and then licked the Moor
where three bottles lay. The bears were
apparently crazy, and Early, having
only a revolver and knife, decided to
bring help and kill or capture them.
He went to the Bold Mountain hotel,
on Third lake, and returned with two
men, to find that the bears had left
the place. Then Early found that three
bottles of raw alcohol had been broken.
The bears had been on a drunk Lum-
bermen in that region drink alchol d.
luted with water. The men had left
the camp for a trip down to Old Forge
and the bears had broken the door
down and after ransacking the place
and its supplies, had discovered the
drink. and the first spree Of the animals

They grew to love each other in those

She knew he loved her-he told her so
and nothing would ever keep him
from her when the war was over.
She went north after that and in the
awful commissions that shook the heart
of the country he lost sight Of her for
a little While, but he trusted her. In
his eyes she could do no wrong. She
was so true. so pure and womanly. One

BERLIN, July Son the best author.
ity the correspondent here of the As
ISOLATED Press is informed that Ger.
many, France and Russia have reached
an understanding relative to the Phil
ippine islands. It is said these three
powers do not intend to actively inter.
fere until hostilities cease, after which
they will combine to prevent the
United States or Great Britain gaining
possession Of the whole of the Philip.
pine islands. When the war is over
an international congress will be pro-
posed, similar to the Berlin congress of
1878, to settle all questions connected
with the war. All the great powers
will be invited to join, including the
United States and Spain. It appears
certain that Germany will then de.
mand slice Of the Philippine islands
or other compensation in the far East.
