AFTER THE GRANGE MEETING.
4 Story Told by Master Jones and the Youth.
tul CymbaI Player.

I'VE need the rural delivery Of mail.
said National Master Jones at Vassal-
boro, Tuesday. "Oh, this mail system is
one Of the greatest things on earth. Jus;
think Of II, young men. You know there
is a time in the life of every one Of you,
when you are in love with some girl and
wish TO propose. but what are you to do ?
Every time YOU 20 TO speak a big lump
comes into your throats ana your heart
beats 50 hard that you can't breath Bat
the mail solves the question. You write
The words you would say and send them
by the postman The young lady receives
the letter ana reads 1t with joy while her
llttle heart thumps as hard as yours has
You are both saved a great deal of an
noyance by the presence Of the mails.
"Out In Missouri. was telling this to
an audience Of about 700 when a young
man in homespun arose and said: The
gentleman is right in many things but
here he is wrong. ! would not send the
letter but | would 20 ana carry II myself
and ] would try and have that humping
of the girls little heart made against my
own. and the girls who Were in the
crowd said he was right. 1t is always
the way the women will side with a
young man In a case Of that sort"
One OF the pleasing features Of the day
was the cymbal playing by little Carl
Perkins of the Lakeside band Of South
China. The little fellow is but eight
years old and is not SO very large either.
at least he looks small when marching
beside his large papa, the versatile pro
lessor II. X. Perkins. who is known
about all over Maine from his one time
sOjourn in the show business. Little Carl
was the center of all eyes and he played
with as great unconcern as though he
was past master at leading bands

Council at their meeting, August % is
that of George /. Loveland Of Bangor

An Augusta Boy Saves a Lie.

The Portland papers of recent date
told of brave rescue of child from
the wheels of the electric cars, one day
last week. and it is said the young
mans name could not be learned.
That young man was none other than
Carl Ward of this city. who is attend
ing business college in Portland. 1t
seems that he was with party of
friends on a trolley ride and was sit
ting on the front seat. A little child
in some way got in front of the car
and it seemed impossible to stop the car
before the child would be knocked
down and run over. Mr.. Ward
swung around the front of the car
and grasped the child by the clothes
and held it until the car was stopped
With his usual modesty he prevented
his name from getting into the papers.
though so brave and cool an action
surely ought to be everywhere told.
Superintendent Williams informed
the Journal, Wednesday evening, that
he hoped to.have all the power on by
Friday night, as the immense driving
wheel has arrived at the electric light
station. 1t arrived. Tuesday. and the
crews worked hard and had it in place,
Wednesday night. The man with the
belt is expected, today. and after TINS
has been adjusted, all will be ready
The pulley on the shafting has also been
replaced as it was found that this was
cracked The company has kept the
people very well supplied with lights
since the accident; kszusing the COD
bosseecontee stations for all 1t was
worth. In the meanwhile the work al
the station has BEEN progressing very
! fast.

LEGALLY DEAD.
Frederick I. Nel1igar So Declared
by the Superior Court

Frederick I. Nelligar formerly of this
city, was last heard from ia Montana
about three and half years ago. AT
that time he wrote to his wife in this
city that he intended starting for
home, but that as he was stranded
he would be obliged to try his luck at
beating the trains.
And that communication was the
last ever received by Mrs. Nelligar
from her husband, though she has since
made every effort to ascertain whether
he was living or dead.
Among the effects of Nelligar is a
life insurance policy for 500, and
about two weeks ago Mrs. Nelligar filed
in Judge Hughes court a petition for
letters of administration on his estate.
Judge Hughes at that time took the
matter under advisement, being uncer-
tain as to whether Nelligar was living
or dead.
Yesterday the matter of the petition
came up, and the Judge, having looked
into the matter, issued the desired let
ters to Mrs. Nelligar who may thus
be enabled to realize on the insurance
policy.

This evening at the C1unie Opera
house L. r. Stockwell's company will
present Hoyt's pretty play and realistic
picture of rural life in New England,
"A Midnight Bell,'' with scenery and
mechanical effects prepared especially
for the company. The piece is one OF
the most vital of all of Hoyt's produc-
tions and while a merry comedy, is
nevertheless one of his very few seri-
Gus works. Stockwell, who heads the
company, as the Deacon, is we'll known
here. He is a low comedian of Pc
culiar parts. There are none like him.
His comedy work is indescribably droll
and decidedly original. He is beside an
experienced and careful manager. In
his support is Max Steinle, a juvenile
actor and comedian who takes the role
of the boy Martin Tripp. Mr.. Steinle
is notably successful in the part. He
is we'll known as the author and COM
poser of many justly popular songs of
the day. Mr.. Stockwell is supported
also by Laura Crews as the ministers $
sister Lot. She is a native Of Cali
fornia and has been on the stage from
childhood, having appeared here in
child's parts She is now a developed
woman of strong dramatic qualities.

To-MoRRoW,s GAME.
Oakland and Sacramento's Ath-
letic Club Teams to Meet.

The Terminal City Wheelmen's base
ball club, the champion team OF the
San Joaquin Valley, and a purely anna
teur club, is out with a challenge TO
meet the winner of the baseball game
in this city tomorrow between the
team of the Acme Athletic Club Of
Oakland and that of the Sacramento
Athletic Club, and a game may be ar
ranged later to decide the amateur
championship of the State, as the three
clubs are the recognized champions or
their respective sections.
In tomorrow game the local ath-
letic club will present it's regular strong
team, the first time the entire team has
played together in weeks. Frank
Newbert, their crack twirler, will occu-
py the box and much interest is taken
IN his work, as he is the best amateur
pitcher Sacramento has developed this
season. Frank has pitched eleven
games this year, winning them all, and
no club has made over seven hits off
his delivery in one game Among his
greatest games this season was the one
at Colusa, when he shut out that
strong team without hit, also the
game against Red Bluff, when he al
lowed but three hits and struck out
seventeen batsmen.
Am Shields, the hard-hitting outfleld-
er and pitcher, will be in his old posi-
ton in right field. after a long layoff,
as he was unfortunate enough to lose a
finger some time ago, and the remain
der of the team will be as they have
played all season.
The Oakland boys have four new
players in their ranks since the same
clubs met before, and are out to win.
The Acme Club, the parent organiZa-
ton, is taking great interest in the
game and will send a delegation to en-
courage their boys.
Feige, a promising pitcher, will do
their box work, and his record with the
Heesemans and other first class teams
has been such that he will be given a
trial by Oakland's league club next
season. Peralta a fine athrower and
hard worker, is his battery mate and
young Jerry Denny, a son of the fam
Gus third baseman, and Nolan, a de-
scendant Of the "Only Nolan,' are
members of the club
The game will begin promptly at 2:30
p. M, and the returns of the Gilt Edge
san Francisco game at the bay will be
