Bath Times: Many times have We
felt the lack of a suitable adjective or
substantive by which to designate the
people of Maine. A citizen of Vermont
is a Vermonter; of New York, New
Yorker; of Pennsylvania, Pennsyl-
vanian. and so on through the greater
portion OF the list of states. But when
We wish to speak OF a citizen or citi-
zens of this State we have to resort to
the use of a clumsy phrase. Now the
inhabitants Of Maine are rather an in
dividual people. distinct even from
their New England brothers. and fo-
this reason as we'll as for convenience
we think they ought to have a dis
tinctive name. Just how to fashion it
is somewhat of a question but we are
inclined to use Mainish and propose to
do so unless a better word can be sug-
gested. The origin of the name of the
State is doubtful. 1t may have come
from the ancient French province of
Maine or it might have come from the
English word main. having been so
named in distinction from the islands
along the coast. In either case the
name of, our State probably originated
Latin derivative it's adjective might
be formed by the use of a Latin suffix,
but jnasmuch as the word has been a
good English one as long as there has
been an English language and also as
1t has undergone such transfOrma-
ton as to be scarcely recognizable as a
Latin derivative at all. We prefer the
Saxon suffix-ish. There are other
possibilities. There being a Greek
country called Maine (spelled with an
eta) we might take the liberty of call
ing ourselves Nantes, Mainotes or
Mainiartes. or according to the Latin
formula Maintains, or using another
English ending, Manners. Among them
all, however, we consider Mainish the
most suitable and best justified philo-
logically. The New Workers call us

The output of Aroostook potatoes in
1872 was about 10000 bushels. In 1896
only about 100000. and probably less
than 1850 tons of starch were made in
the county. The output from the crop
of 1898 will come well up to 5000. 600
bushels. 1t is estimated that 5000 tons
of starch were made from a portion of
the 1898 crop.

Wilder Murphy, who is to command
the Sewall ship Shenandoah. which is
now undergoing repairs in San Fran
cisco, is probably the youngest man
who ever commanded n ship. He is
but 20 years of age. and was born in
Bath. His father is Capt. James F..
Murphy. who has been a master Of the
ships of the Sewalls for many years.
Wilder has been at sea almost all of his
life, and his executive ability is of a
high order. He is chip of the old
block, and the Sewalls have the great
Fest confidence in him. He is well
known in Bath, where he has. many
friends. The old sea captains say there
is little doubt that young Murphy is
the youngest man in the world to be
given the full command of big ship
like the Shenandoah.

The Cup Defender Launched.

Americas new cup defender, the repre-
sentation of the best boat building skill
and materials of which the Western CONT
nent can boast, was carefully lowered into
the water at the Herreshoff works at Bris-
tol, r. l., at $50 o'clock Saturday night,
ana as she started down the ways Mrs. G.
Oliver Iselin christened her Columbia.
The launching of the latest protector of
Uncle SANS sailing laurels was probably
one of the most spectacular that has ever
occurred, for the light of day had almost
faded when she started down the ways and
three powerful calcium lights played upon
her white stern and shining golden under
body with theatrical effect. AS she fairly
cleared the shed large silk American
Yacht ensign was broken out over her
stern, the colors of her owners appeared
on a small jury mast, stepped in place of
the regular mast, and the New York
Yacht club pennant flew in the waist of
the boat.
With the lights playing on the flags and
20 or more of the crew racing about the
deck, the scene was filled with animation
and color. Ranged on both sides of the
deck were 5000 spectators, while off the
end were clustered so or more yachts of all
kinds, so that there was plenty of noise,
cheers, whistles and guns, to help out the
brilliant effect of the lights. Mrs. Iselir
performed her part gracefully, surrounded
by half hundred society leaders of New
York, Providence, and Boston and man!
Yachting friends of her husband.
Just as the Columbia was about hal
way out of the shop a distressing acciden
occurred The explosion of can of flash
! light powder blew leg and part of tn
head off Napoleon Sansouci, -. He die
in a short time. Several other boys wer
seriously injured.
The photographer, who caused the accl
dent, selected the top of small shed
which was packed with boys. AS h
touched the fuse he shouted warning
but there was no space in which the boy
could move A terrific explosion followe
and the entire shed collapsed.

"mortal and visible" but in things elm
mortal and invisible, bright with the
neffable brightness of the Creator him
self.
My young friends, you who are with
us tonight in the ioyousness of youth, and
who stand on the threshold of what we
hope and trust will prove to you all larger
field of opportunity and endeavor,- this
theme has not been chosen without care
nor has it been placed before you by one
Indifferent to your highest interests. Con-
slider earnestly the spirit which underlies
it and the incentive to nobler living which
it is intended to convey. Ask your own
hearts whether this patience, this devotion,
this love, are present in the doing of the
tasks which await your hands each day;
whether they 60 with you in your studies,
consecrating aud uplifting them; whether,
above all, they enter into your character
building, not suffering you for an instant
to be other than your truest selves.
These are solemn questions. Let them
not be passed lightly or thohghtlessly by.
Remember that they bear, not only upon
your present, but upon your future as
well. Remember that they are bound up
closely with that motto whose words ex-
press so very much, if their sturdy Saxon
spirit be made potent factor of the life
itself. For, believe me, as you ''doe"
faithfully and heartily Eye nexte thynge"
that God gives You to do, your work will
become beaten work, and fit for the build
ing up of the kingdom sin his name"
The world has need, assure you, of
this beaten work on your part, Bring
each of you your offering cheerfully and
willingly; nor scorn even the tlniest deed
if it be the fruit of this higher service
Your own lives, standing out each as an
entity by itself require this beaten work,
would they be patterned after that ideal of
perfection Of which the Master so feelingly
spoke 10 centuries ago by the sea of Cali
lee.
Be not false 10 these demands. They
are the appeal Of the Holy Spirit within
you. And, finally, it is the voice of God
that speaks. AS he said to the people of
Israel of old so does he say unto each one
of you, my friends, at this very hour
"Bring me an offering. OF every one that
giveth it willingly, with his heart, ye shall
take my offering" But what richer, what
more acceptable gift can you place upon
his altar, here at the parting of your ways,
than that of patient, devoted and loving
life?

SPORTING.
Vermont Academy Lost Two Games to
Cushing,

Gushing.
Vermont Academy was defeated in both
games against Gushing at Ashburnham,
Mass, June 1918, In the contest Mon
day Vermont Academy did not play good
ball and every error was costly. In the
fifth and sixth innings it was doubtful
which team would win, but in the seventh
Vermont Academy went to pieces and
Cushing scored four runs. Whitney.
Drscoll and Foster for Gushing and Orion
and Taylor for Vermont Academy deserve
credit for their work at bat. Both pitch
ers were pounded hard.
On Tuesday the result was - to y.
Both teams played fast ball for the first
four innings. In the fifth Gushing pound
ed Taylor out for nine hits and ten runs.
Vermont then steadied down, but could
not gain the lead. Taylor and Driscoll
pitched both days, and the strain was too
much for them. Whitney and Tyler, Pat
tee, Higgins and Taylor did the best work
at the bat.
Both teams played the last game for the
season. Vermont has won IL out of IA
games, and has scored l6S runs to 95 for
her opponents. There had been but little
time TO practice for these last two games
during the past two weeks. The result
shows that if a team expects TO play
winning ball it is necessary to have prac
tice to the last game.
Much credit is due Capt. Hahn for the
manner in which he has handled Vermont
Academy. He understood every man on
the team and in every way showed himself
worthy and capable of the honor of cap
| tain.

Averages of High school Players.

The High school base ball team has
played six games, winning three. The
first game lost was against the strong Yer
mont Academy aggregation, and the other
two games were dropped by close scores to
Keene and Hnsdale High schools. Brat
tleboro has had only bona fide students on
the team, while both Keene and Hinsdale
we're strengthened by outsiders The
Brattleboro boys started with team made
up largely of inexperienced players, and
was further weakened by injuries which
put Allen and Welman out OF the game
The showing under the circumstances is
highly creditable. Capt. Tasker is the
best hitter who ever played on a Brattle.

Cook have also taken high rank. Follow

Robert Gillespie Reid, who has been
called the Gear of Newfoundland, is
building at his own expense railway
across the island and opening up the re-
sources of the country in way that will
make Newfoundland one of the most pros
porous communities. Mr.. Reid is Scotch
man, and started life as working stone
mason. He came to America as a young
man, and today he is the biggest landown-
er in the world, for the Newfoundland
government has given him two and hall
million acres on condition that he makes
the railway and operates it for 10 years.
