appointed in this vicinity because of the
non appearance of the shooting stars prom
ised us with great deal of assurance by all
the newspapers in the land. Many of us sat
up late and got up early, and set the alarm
clock to call us up in the small hours of the
night, to witness the meteoric show that did
not come off as billed in the papers. But 1t
appears that we looked 100 soon and looked
too high, for on the evening of the 10Th the
members of Arbutus Lodge, Order of Eas.-
ern Star, of this village, went shooting down
through the village on their way to Union,
where there was to be a meteoric shower of
Eastern Stars. We could not call them
meteors, for
A meteor is a shooting star,
That through the air doth scdd;
But members of the Eastern Star
Went scooting through the mud.

High School Notes.

The Junior class-plns have come and the
class members have taken upon themselves
an extra amount of dignity.
There was an explosion OF the refuse Jar
in the chemistry class last week. Luckily no
damage was done.
Hail to the Glass Tell-tae, the official
organ Of the Freshman class 1t is to be
issued every two weeks and ia motto is,
''Slow but Sure"
Two Juniors and Sophomore were un-
fortunate enough to receive a ducking last
week while skating on Kerby Lake. Their
spirits We're revived by the arrival of the
class pins.
We wish the Freshmen would give us a
rest on that everlasting "yessir' and "nosir :"
The reason for a Sophomore's wearing a
Junior class pin is beyond our ken.
Some one in the Sophomore class seems to
be attempting to get chem to adopt the fash
ion of saying ''tew" for two, but it doesn't
go.
Take the cnuntrymen out of the Senior
class, and where is the class?
The other classes are fairly green with
Jealousy, for the Freshmen have a twely-
year Old mascot.
The staging, put up for some repairs on
the roof, was very convenient for the good
climbers
1t would be relief to some if the Sopho.
more rubber" could keep quiet for two
minutes at stretch
The scholars who declaim F.-iday will
please remember that it is 1.-THE thing to
have the giggles.
The Sophomore class boast of large and
varied menagerie. The cat department is
especially fine.
Some of the scholars do not see the Joke in
pounding their heels down on the floor when
going up and down the aisles-but the Ju.

Louise Haynes of Seal Harbor is the guest
OF Miss Daisy Peavey. Mr.. N. Gillis is the
guest OF Charles Webb... Mr.. Zenie Harts-
horn has returned from Winthrop. Mass,
where he has been employed as station
agent during the summer. Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Libbey and daughter were guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Nickerson Sunday %.
Mrs. Mary D. Nickerson has returned from

CAMDEN. Wiliston Grinnell has bought
of johnson Knight the shipyard property
and house at the head of Camden harbor,
known as the Decrow Il Coombs shipyard,
and also the land along the eastern shore of
the harbor to the property heretofore owned
by him. Mr.. Grinnell has faith in the future
OF Camden, not only as summer resort but
as one of the best places for business on the
| coast. H. M. Bean, our enterprsing ship
builder has been obliged to refuse to contract
| with several parties who within few weeks
have desired to have him build vessels for
them. This great demand for vessels is
partly due to the large number lost within
the past few years, but largely due to busi-
ness prosperity. Freghts have not been so
| high for many years. Mr.. Bean expects to
| launch the five-master in December and the
four-mastar in February, and will follow
them with two other large schooners, a FIVE
master with carrying capacity of 1900 tons
of coal and masted schooner with 3Co
feet keel and capacity for $500 tons of coal,
being the largest schooner ever built. She
will probably be launched about the first of
July.
STOCKTON SPRINGS. Mrs. Margaret Ames
has closed her house, and gone to the hotel
to board for the winter. Mrs. Sarah CHIT
ford returned recently from visit in Orring-
ton, and will remain week at home before
going to Brooklyn to spend the winter, as
usual. Mr.. BowdOin is sufficiently improv-
ed in health to be seen upon our streets,
daily. Mrs. A. S. Costigan has gone to
Cambridgeport, Mass, where she las taken
a house for the winter. Capt. Melvin Col
cord has raised fine flag pole on his new
stable. Our sea-captains show a praise
worthy love for the sight of Old Glory aloft,
on land or sea-. The West street socia BILE
passed off successfully last Friday evening,
the"Song Sheet" giving special amusement.
A good sum was realized for the time of
year. :. Mr.. Rufus Mudgett arrived Satur-
day from Kingman, to spend few weeks
with his family ... Capt. Sprague left for
Boston Monday to join his vessel. .... Men
ton was made two weeks ago of the gather
ing of ripe raspberles by Arthur Colcord,
Oct. 5th which should have read Nov. 5th,
surely the last OF the season.

ing built at Lawley's, South Boston, a 40
foot sharpe to be used in southern waters
Mention was made recently in The Jour
nal of a 100foot cruising schooner building
at Lawley's. She has since been launched.
The Boston Herald says of this craft:
She is painted white below the waterline,
which is considered the proper thing in big
boats nowadays. She is a big bodied boat
and gives one the idea of great power. Her
fittings below will be very elaborate. Abaft
of the main companionway is large state
room, with double berths, Forward of this,
in the space about the companionway, is a
chart room, clothes closet and lavatory'
+, Forward of these is the saloon, which takes
| in the full beam of the boat, with staterooms
lie 4ding off of it. Forward of this is pan
| try amidships, and galley on the starboard
| side and on the port side is the captain 8
state-room. There are two staterooms for
ward of these, and in the bow of the boat
| sthe messroom and ample quarters for the
crew.

last week, visiting friends. Mrs. W. I.
Wade, who has been visiting her parents,
! has returned to her home in Pittsfi eld. -.
Mrs. J. G. Harding had a shock last week
and at this writing is confined to her bed.
| C. A. Levanseller and J. W. ChaJe will

comb school, Sadie Cummings the Paul
school, and Lillian johnson the Station
school. :. The cold weather has reduced the

\ writer i'll the Halifax, Nova Scotia,
Recorder in discussing the future Of the
Provincial exhibition, held yearly in that
city, suggested Carnival as the most ap.
prop1iate name. Nothing could be more
Inappropriate than the use of this word to
designate such al exhibition. The word
means farewell TO the flesh and appro-
prately applies to the festivities in Catho-
lie countries Immediately proceeding
Lent. To call horse trot an equine car
niyal or boat race an aquatic carnival is
very absurd.

calamltles and contagious diseaseS-tor high re-
liglous and educational privileges and advance
ment, and especially for the spirit of patriotism
seltsacr1fce and devotion to the best interests of
humanity, progress aud good government that has
guided and determined our onward march as a
people among the nations of the earth, we have,
indeed. abune ant reasons for thanksgiving and

The United States Commissioner of
Navigation in his annual report calls at

cided to push bill at Washington this

There is a shortage of soft coal at tide
in New England. The cause of the trou-
BILE is claimed to be twofold, the inability
of the railroads to provide enough rolling
stock, and the general industrial prosper
ity. The latter, it is claimed, is the prin-
cipal factor. Many mills and factories
which for many years have been idle now
are running, and as result there is an
unparalleled demand for soft coal which
cannot be filled if the railroads do not
provide transportation. The vessels
which generally load in Baltimore on a
six day basis, now are obliged to wait
three weeks before they can secure a cargo,
and freights have gone up 81 and in some
cases $3.50 per ton. Naturally the price
of both soft and hard coal has advanced,
with the probability of further increase,
and severe winter will bring hardship
and suffering among poor people.
The recent investigation into the combin
ed banking business of the country con-
Quoted by Comptroller Dawes affords a
striking illustration of the general pros
perity of the people. Nearly ten thousand
reports from banks regarding loans and
deposit accounts, rates of interest and re-
sources have been examined, and the re-
suit has been almost startling to the
Treasury officials themselves. In gener-
al way it can be stated that the banking
business of the United States exceeds by
over 81 C90,Cc ),C}0 what it was supposed
to be. The investigation and comparison
were made on the reports of the banks on
business done by them in 1889, 1894 and
1899. An interesting feature of the Comp
troller's investigation is the amount of the
average deposit in the various banks, and
the increase that is shown. In national
banks the average deposit in 1889 was 1914
while in 1899 it was S919 In savings
banks the average in 1889 was 1919, in 1899
it was $40; in State and privat banks
decreSe has been shown.

halper's Weekly, heretofore an organ
of the 'anti -imperialists, has expert
enced a change of heart. 1t now emphat-
ically says that we must hold the Philip
pines and conquer and maintain the peace.
1t sees beyond this plain duty the most
important results for US and for the cause
of civilization throughout the world. The
work for true conservatives is to use all
their influence to secure for our colonies
such a government as will be best for
them and most creditable for us. That is
sensible and conservative.
OF the election of Taylor, the Republ

Shall Congressman elect Roberts OF
Utah. a poloygamist, be seated, is ques-
ton that is agitating many people all over
the country. The pulpit has been heard
from, and the general sentiment is to
answer the question in the negative. The
power to act, however, is vested in the
National House. At a meeting of the
Democratic State committee of Utah, held
in Salt Lake City, Nov. goth, to consider
the Roberts case, Chairman James Moyle,
Norman, urged that counter petitions
be compiled, asking that Roberts be seat
ed. Every Gentle member opposed the
plan, saying that they voted for Roberts
as Democrat, expecting that he would
be able to clear himself of the charges
against him, but that he had failed and
been made the football of the party.
