Josiah Walker was kneeling beside
the little marble monument clipping
the dead branches out of a rose bush
over his brothers grave, when he be-
came aware that some one was APP
preaching the graz from the other side
of the bush. GlS&eing around he saw
it was his brother. AS he rose from
his position beside the bush Hiram
paused at the side of the grave opposite
him.
why do you come here at this time?
demanded Josiah, thoroughly incensed
at what he considered an imposition.

II never told the girls nothing of the

The whole scheme that the girls and
their mother had worked came to Hi
ram in a minute, and stepping little
nearer he said:
Josiah, the girls told me that, and
now 1 know why. They can't see any
sense in this quarrel of ours, and want
US to forget it. They thought here at

The morning of May 80 was as bright
and clear as anyone could ask. The
country people in the part of the coun-
" where the Walkers lived always made
the day holiday-a day devoted to the
memories of the brave men who fell in
the civil war. Many of them had friends
and relatives buried on the battlefields
of the south, but there were but few
soldier graves in the little churchyard
cemetery at home. What few there
were, however, received the offerings
of the entire community.
AS Hiram Walker came in from the
barn after doing the chores of the morn
ing his wife asked how soon after din
her he was going TO the cemetery, say
ing she believed she would go with him.
II guess I'll go this morning" he re-
piled. The girls tell me Josh has took
a notion to annoy me by goin' in the
afternoon, an L guess I'll let him have
his own way"
After the quarrel of five years before
Josiah had built himself a house as
far from that of his brother as pos
sible, and at his place there was no sign
of his intention of varying his usual
custom of visiting the cemetery in the
morning. The girls had worked their
plans quite successfully, and the
chances were the brothers would meet
ar a place where, for a time at least,
they must drop their quarrel over a
spotted pig.

Equity Cases before Judge White
house.

In hearing be fore Judge Whitehouse at
the court house last Friday forenoon the
following cases in equity were presented to
him for decision:
NJ. Il. knowlton in equity Ida NJ.
Bradbury. Question at issue as to whether
or not the plaintiff broke lease. Plaintiff
leased the Windsor Hotel Belfast, of defen-
dant for a term of three years at 5000 per
year. There was a proviso IN the lease
that Knowlton was authorized to expend
500 yearly in repairs upon the house; also
that he had the option to purchase the
property any time within the three years Of
lease for the sum of 81 900. The plaintiff
claims that he rendered the defendant,
within the time specified, the amount
agreed for the purchase of The hotel
and asks why it should not be accept
ed. The defendant claims that the lease
was broken from the Iact that the plaintiff
was an Illegal seller of liquors on the
premises and wishes to expel him. Law on
report.
Sarah +. Dunton in equity vs.. Emma f.
and Ernest E. Clark, The plaintiff says
That on the goth of July, 1895, she was
owner of real estate situated n Lincolnvllle
Centre, and buildings thereon, and furniture
and personal property therein. That on the
above date she sold to Ernest E. Clark said
premises with certain personal property, re-
serving to herself the use of the front room
below and two rooms up stairs of the dwell
ing house on said premises and right to
cook on the stove of said Ernest Clark and
Emma Clark in said dwelling house during
the life of plaintiffs husband, Shubael NJ
Dunton. That by mistake the writer of the
deed of conveyance failed to embody in
said deed the reservation of the said three
rooms and right to cook by the stove, and
the plaintiff did not understand what was
necessary to preserve her rights. Defend
ant denies that there was reservation of
rooms or any exceptions in the sale of the
premises whatever.

Col. Henry E. Noyes.

The list of army promotions that the
President sent to the Senate Thursday con
tanned the name of Lieut.. Col. Henry E.
Noyes of the second cavalry to be a colonel
The promotion, although it is only during
the present war, is nevertheless welcome
one TO Col. Noyes, who is a native of Belfast.
He received his appointment, however,
from tae State of Massachusetts, graduating
in june, 1861 From that date Col. Moves
has served almost continuously as an officer
in the second cavalry. The regiment was
organized way back in 1886, when it was
known as the second regiment of dragons
After the civil war the name was changed
to the second cavalry. He rose to first
lieutenant, captain and major by successive
promotions and was made lieutenant colonel
OF the second cavalry July /, 1891. When
he was made major in 1879 he was trans
terred for time to the fifth cavalry and for
year after he was made lieutenant col
onel he served with the fifth cavalry before
he was transferred back to his old regiment.
Col. Noyes will undoubtedly remain in
command of the second cavalry for the re-
mainder of the war

Promotions in the Public Schools.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL | wish
to state through the columns of your paper
the conditions of promotion in the public
schools, and if possible to reach the parents
OF such pupils as may be still backward in
their work. The plan of promotion is pre-
cisely what was laid out in The Journal last
year (June fifth. Last year we had sixtv-
five pupils who were held back; there were
no conditions Pupils were either promot
ed or re-admitted to their former grades
This year there will be perhaps half that
number who will be kept back Pupils will
not be promoted this. year on condition but
the same plan will be followed as last wear.
A letter will be sent to the parent of each
backward pupil asking for personal inter-
view with reference TO the childs defcien-
cle5. The department has tried to familiar
ize itself with each individual case. and
hopes to be able to advise each parent
wisely as to the course and amount Of vaca-
tion study to be pursued, if any. If it is de-
clded best for a pupil to study during vaca-
ton and TO try for certificate again in Sep
tember, the department will take charge of
each individual case as far as it is able;
books will be loaned and work laid out in
detail along the lines of deficiency No
arbitrary rules have been, or will be, follow
ed as regards promotion, either now or
hereafter, only what is best for each ndivid-
ual boy or girl is being considered, and
every effort will be made to enable those
children to advance who ought to be ad-
vanced, and to keep back those who need to
be kept back or who cannot go on without
ultimate injury to themselves. Another
trial will be given in September to such as
are found deficient and if child is found
competent to go ahead successfully it will be
at once advanced. 1t is hoped that parents
will endeavor to answer my letter in person
before July first, as nothing can be done
after that, owing to my absence from the
city. Very faithfully yours

Supt. of Schools.

Deputy U. S. Marshal Norton Conn
pIimented.

The Portland Argus in reporting the arrest
OF Chas d. Record of Readfield for the ille-
gal use of the mails, says
Inspector King spoke in the highest terms
OF Deputy Marshal Norton, Belfast, who was
directed to assist the inspectors. Last even
ing they heard that Record had telephoned
to have his team sent to him at Augusta and
very thorough search was made by Inspec-
tors King and McGinniss for their man. At
last Inspector King gave it up and decided
that the chances favored his having at last
gone to Boston.
II will keep up while longer" said Depu-
ty Norton, and it was well he did. While
the deputy did not know Record personally,
he did know his team, and he had good
description OF Record, and when two men
went to the stable to see that horse he knew
that one of them was the earnestly desired
Record ? and addressed him.
81 can't remember where | met you," said
Record, taken off his guard.
'You will remember if you think long
enough" said the deputy, adding :" and
you're my prisoner"

Congressman F. G. Stevens



WASHINGTON, June Is. Representa-
tive Frederick c. Stevens of st. Paul,
Mimi. who is Maine man and a gradu-
ate of Bowdoin college, pushed through
the House an appropriation OF Sl0o, ooo
last week, which is certain to win him
denomination and much applause among
his constituents Mr.. Stevens is serving
his first term in Congress and it is very
unusual for first term man to secure
such material results. His accomplish
ment means all the more because repre-
sentatives from that city have been striv-
ing fer years to secure this appropriation.
1t: is for an addition to the public build
ing of St. Paul.
The building was erected number OF
years ago. but is by no means large enough
to accommodate the government business
there The government has been SO hard
pressed for funds the last three or four
years that it had been well nigh Impossible
to secure appropriations Tor pubhc build-
ingS The Senate has been wiling to
vote money for improvements on pupic
buildings but the House has almost in
variably voted to cut them Oft whenever
the conference reports We're brought IN.
Mr.. Stevens, however, made an arrange
ment with many Republicans, whereby
they were to vote for his appropriation
and he would in turn vote for measures IN
which they were interested. The trade
was success and Mr.. Stevens amend
ment went through the House without
contest. 1t insures his denomination
without opposition. Representative Loren
Fletcher, native of Mount Vernon, Me-
who represents the twin city OF Mlnnea-
polls, and is now serving his third term
in the House, was renominated few days
ago.
