They went-young men and women
paired like the birds and the fishes, to
make for themselves homes in the wilder
ness. They did their work we'll. The
result was one Of the finest yeomanries
the world ever saw-self-respecting, law
abiding, liberty loving people. For two
generations their children have been 60
ing forth in the spirit they inherited from
their fathers and mothers, peopling every
new State, and in all cases forming an
energetic, intelligent and successful ele-
ment in the population.
We can afford to be proud of our ma
tive State for what it has done in the past.
We owe it whatever service we can render
for its future.

sources are ample to sustain much
larger population than it now has. In
its broad domain it has some of the most
fertile land on the continent. Aroostook

Death Of Ru>kin.
A. B. STANTIAL.

LONDON, Jan. 20. John Ruskin died
this afternoon of influenza, aged 81 years.
For a year or more the great critic has
been obliged to abstain from literary work,
and his death has several times been daily
expected, owing to his great age. H e
was the author of several celebrated books,
among them "The Seven Lamps of Arch-
lecture" ''Stones of Venice" etc. His
domestic life was unhappy, his wife fall
ing in love with friend, the great painter
Millais. He assisted her to obtain a di-
vorce SO that she could marry Mllas with
out scandal. A striking illustration of
Ruskn's unselfshness was shown in the
manner in which he disposed of his for
tune, which at the time of his fathers
death amounted to million dollars.
With this money he set about doing good.
Poor young men and women who were
struggling to get an education were help
ed, homes for working men and women
were established, and model apartment
houses were erected. He also promoted
a work for retaining waste land outside
of London. This land was used for the
aid of unfortunate men who wished to
rise again from the state in which they
had fallen through cruel social conditions
and their own weaknesses.

Tiff at the Whittier Congl church fast Thurs
day evening by the members of and attend
ants at the above named church was very
enjoyable affair. AS early as 80 the people
began to arrive, and at s 30 the church was
we'll filed. At this hour refreshments we're
served in the vestry, after which musical
and literary program was carried out, which
contributed much to the pleasantness of the
occasion. At the conclusion of the program
Mr.Dollitf was called upon for some remarks
and responded in his usual bright and
pleasing manner. AS he was about to take
his seat a member of his church came for
ward and presented him, in behalf of his
many new friends, with a sum of money
(nearly $50 0O) with which to buy a new
desk and office chair. Taken completely by
surprise Mr. Dolliff thanked his friends very
feelingly, and after all joined in singing
verse of God be with you till we meet
again. the benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Henry Parsons, pastor of the Free
Baptist church here.
Although Mr.. Dollitf has but recently en-
tered upon his duties as pastor of the Congl
church here he has already made a great
many warm friends, both in the church and
out of it, and his people feel that they have
indeed made wise choice and have pas

Universit, of Maine.

A lecture course has been arranged at the
University of Maine on subjects of general
interest, to be given at intervals during the
the remainder of the college year. The first
lecture was given on Jan. II, by Prof. X. P.
Harrington the Roman Boy. 1t traced
the life of Roman boy from birth to man
hood in an entertaining manner, and was il
lustrated by As stereopticon views, mum
Der of which pictured sports and amuse-
ments of Roman life.
There has been much recent discussion, in
educational associations and journals in re-
gard to the admission of students TO college.
This touches not only the studies which
should be taken a test of the preparatory
work, but the method of making that test.
At one time practically all colleges in the
limited States were accustomed 10 examine
candidates for admission, but the method of
certificates has made steady gain in public
favor until it is we'll established throughout
the country with the exception OF New Eng
land. Although New England colleges now
admit students on certificate from their in
structors for probationary period "a few in
structOrs still require an examination in
every case. The system of certificat is
used by three OF the Maine colleges and has
been reduced to an elaborate one by the
State university, which belongs to the class
of institutions that was the first in the COun-
try to adopt this method which has always
been tnat pursued by the German UNIVERSE
ties.
A comparison of the statistics of the Maine
colleges iE the World almanac for 1900 with
that for 1898 shows very satisfactory growth
in all of them in most respects. The faculty
at Bates has increased 8, Bowdoin 1, Colby
8, and University of Maine IL, making the
total as follows Bates q, Bowdoin 30 Colby
IS, and University of Maine so The in
crease in students varies from 20 at Bowdoin
to 43 at the University of Maine. The
library of Bates has grown 1000, Bowdoin
1000 Colby 2O06, and University of Maine
Abb The number of living alumni at Bates
is larger by 90, Bowdoin 30. Colby 81, and
University of Maine 81; the fact that Bow
dom and Colby have large body of older
alumni, and the deaths that occur among
them, make their net increase smaller than
would otherwise be the case. Bowdoin and
the State University have made notable adj
dltions to their income, the former having
grown $4,000 and the latter S10.460.
