HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES.

At meeting of the Bangor High
School Athletic Association, held Wednes-
day noon, Hal Hunt was elected captain
of the track athletic team and Edward
Gibbons, manager. Under the leadership
of an athlete like Hunt the Bangor team
should be sure winner this year.
Manager Bridges of the football team
and Captain Hunt will go to Brunswick
Saturday to meet the delegates from other
Maine schools. At this meeting the place
for the next field day will be chosen.
is generally thought that Brunswick will
again have the field day as the Bowdoin
track is the best in the state.
In speaking of tbs proposed change
whereby the Bowdoin College Athletic
Association would assume control of the
M. I. S. A. A., Manager Bridges said he
would vote against it. He said that If the
change was made, the schools would have
no votes. and thus Portland High school
would have great advantage, as Port.
land sympathizers are in the majority at
the college. He also objects to changing
the present name
The Coburn Classical Institute Athletic
Association has written Manager Bridges
not to vote for the change SO 1t is evident
that there will be strong opposition to
any attempt to pass the resolve which
may be made by schools In favor OF the
new scheme.

SOWING THE WIND.


'Sowing, the Wind will be the bill at
the Jefferson Theatre toni ght and Satur-
day with special bargain matinee Saour-
day, the ever popular prices OF 20, 80 ana
so cents prevailing. Having made special
arrangements with the management, this

sarcastic wit, beautiful pathos, and IS
acted by clever company. "Sowlng the
Wind" possesses strong and worthy
plot, mixed with plentitude OF
sparkling epigrams. The costumes Egure
prominently in this production and are
representations of those worn IN 1881.

Ia SPEARS COMEDY COMPANY.
The Concord People and Patriot speaks
of Spears Comedy company that will
hold the boards at Portland theatre at
popular prices next week: IA packed
house witnessed the production Of A
Noble Revenge lasti night atltbe opera
house, and it is certain no such finished
production was ever seen here at popular
prices The play is "a dramatization Of
Wilkie Collins's Frozen Deep, and owes
much of it's dramatizatic excellence to its
clever Clarence Bennett, who
appeared in the splendid character of
Richard Warden. His. acting, particu-
larly in the second and fourth acts,
rose to the actually sublime. The come
dy features are very bright and the en-
tire supporting company did artistic and
finished work. The scenic and electric
effects were extremely fine aud the speci-
atty programme WAS excellent.

A BRAVE MAN.
He Stuck to Il is Horse In Spite of Every
thing.

Mr.. and Mrs. Huston of Deering were
driving up Congress street, yesterday
afternoon when the sleigh caught in the
car tracks in front Of j. x. Libby's
and tipped over, throwing Mr.. Huston
and his wife out. The latter was, 1ortu-
nately unhurt. One of the most thrilling
spectacles then occurred and MIR. huston
gave an exhibition of courage that few
men would care to initiate. The horse
began running like mad and kicking
furiously at every other leap. MT. Hus-
ton chung to the reins like grim death,
although the horse was dragging him,
fat on his back, from one side OF Jne
street to the other. By remarkably agile
movement, Mr.. Huston got upon his feet
and if the horse, which issyoung ana
spirited, had not been crazy with fear,
he would have stopped, but the animal
began kicking and made wild plunge
for Simmons & Hammond's drug store,
throwing MIR. Huston down again. just
as it seemed inevitable that he must be
dashed against an electric light post,
the reins broke and the horse ran at full
gallop down Congress street toward
Union station. Hr. Huston was bruised
somewhat, but not otherwise injured and
the horse captured after he had ran him
self out and damaged the sleigh and har-
ness severely.

BOARD OF TRADE.
Monetary Bill Now Before Congress
Strongly Endorsed.

At the monthly meeting of the mana
gers of the Board of Trade yesterday
morning, the board endorsed 81. K. 6S46,
the bill before Congress to provide for
the enrolment and organization of naval
reserve forces, as now in the hands OF the
committee on naval affairs.
Based upon the last report OF the mon
etary commissions recent convention at
Indianapolis the Board adopted the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, President Mckinley. in his
recent stirring speech, said: LII Will
not suffice for citizens nowadays to say
simply that they are in favor OF sound
money. That is not enough. Inc people
purpose must be given the vitality OF
public law and has asked US To give 6ne
subject thorough discussion.
Whereas, The business men OF the coun-
try, in order to arrive at just conclusions
on this matter, selected last year none
tary commission of the best disinterested
experts they could find, and have received
from them, after their most patient,
patriotic and thorough deliberation,
report and bill in which they deal with
the following three financial TROUBLES as
those especially needing cure:
1.-The uncertainty as to the kind of
money in which the obligations OF tne
United States may be paid consistently
with honor.
q 2--The injustice and harm uninten-
tionalIy inflicted on the thinly popu-
lated sections of the country by our pres
emit national banking laws.
3-The anxiety of mind and paralysis
OF enterprise caused by the use OF paper
and silver as legal tender in the satls-
faction of contracts.
Whereas, We are satisfied that 20 give
us financial tranquility, to develop our
country's resources and to lessen the de-
mand for free silver coinage, law which
will cure these three troubles must be
enacted, and believing that the monetary
commissions bill deals wisely with these
troubles, that, if enacted, it will effect
their cure. and that it will attract the
votes of many who now hope to obtain
relief through silver legislation, besides
those of all sound money men.
Whereas, The enactment of this bi IL and
the defeat of our opponents, whose efforts
are persistently concentrated upon the
establishment of silver monetallism, de-
mand impsratively the promptest and
most united efforts of all sound money
men.
Resolved, That we hereby ask Congress
and all sound money men to use their ut
most exertions to secure the enactment of
this bill into law.

4 of ways of tying
a bow of ribbon.
Just at present there are
two or three distinctly
new ways which you can

so much in fashion and
the ribbons are so smooth
and flexible they may be
tied and tied again with
out injury, without even
wrinkling.
Lots of new stripes and
checks in this morning.
Some Of the prettiest
bingham ribbons the
season has seen.
Checked and plaided rib
bons in Bingham colors
with an added stripe Of
satin on the edge, they're
very much "the thing'for
decorating costumes of

and other wash fabrics
and they're inexpensive
too.

Annual Meeting and Election of Officers
Yesterday.

Annual Meeting and Election of Officers
Yesterday.
The annual meeting OF the Samaritan
Association was held with Mrs. k1lborn
Devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. DIR. Blanchard. Secretary's report
followed. Madame President and mem
bers of the Samaritan association. The
SEVENTEEN anniversary of the formation
of this association and the eighth of it's
incorporation is again present and al
though we see in the future the same
amount of work yet we are still will
ing to enter upon the duties with the
same vigor as in the past. During the
past year we have held fifteen regular
meetings with two special meetings, and
an average attendance of twenty-five, the
largest number present on any one meet
ing fifty; smallest number nine. The
directors have held regular monthly meet
ings and the amount of work they have
accomplished will be shown from a full
report of their work work will be given
by the vice president. A series Of whist
parties inaugurated by the society have
been held during the winter and have
proved most social. The first one at Mrs.
Kilborn's netted the society $40 the
second one at Miss Coehall Sill. 55 and tho
third one 1915. The last one was given
in the evening and came on q very
stormy night, the.report of which has not
been returned. The entertainment fur
nished by Prof. Ansback was not sue
cess financially. We have had only one
supper and that was at Oakdale, and
netted $l2. 49, The energy and force of
the association was all conferred in the
fair. which was held December 1883, and
proved a success, inasmuch as the weather
was against us, being stormy or cloudy
during most of the time. Net proceeds
were $850.32.
Twenty eight new members have been
added to the association. Two have with
drawn and death has not entered our
midst. We have received from donations,
So; assessments, 1872. 40; bylaws, So 60;
Oakdale, $13 SO; whist parties, S2S70,
