Bangor Commercial: We need a
better and n more noble public spirit
in Maine to perpetuate the heroic
deeds and distinguished services Of
our honored sons; We need to beautify
and improve our towns; to preserve
our picturesque natural scenery, to

Old Times.

There are no days like the good old
days
The days when we We're youthful,
When humankind were pure of mind
And speech ana deeds were truthful;
Before love for Sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion
And before each dame and maid became
Slaves to the tyrant fashion.
There are no girls like the good old
Against the world I'd stake EN-,
As buxom and smart and clean of heart
As the Lord knew how to make EN-,
They Were rich in spirit ana common
sense
A piety allsupportin;
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school. too
And they made the likeliest courtin'!
There are no boys like the good old
When we We're boys together,
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet.
That dimpled the laughing heather:
When the pewee sung to the summer
dawn
OF the bee in the willowy clover
Or down by the mill the whip-pOor-will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave us,
We are old. old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God gave US,
So we dream and dream of the good old
times,
And cur hearts grow tenderer. fonder.
As those dear old dreams BRING soothing
CLEANS
OF heaven away off yonder.

HERBERT B. MURWIN.

After more than thirteen weeks of in
tense suffering from tuberculosis, Her
bert Bradley Murwin departed this life
at his home in Fulton, March 81, at
about o'clock p. N. He was the son
of Oliver and Anna Murwin and the
brother of 0. P. Murwin, all of Fulton.
He was highly respected young man
with large circle of friends. He was
born in Fulton February IA, 1874, and
spent the most of his life in his native
town. Here he entered an active bust
ness life at an early age as partner in
the firm of Murwin Bros. Last year he
accepted creditable position with the
firm of Sears, Roebuck & Co. of Chicago
but i'll health compelled him, after few
months, to surrender this position and
return home. The funeral services were
held at the Fulton church on Sunday
April l, at 2:30 p. No., conducted by the
Rev. A. S. Reid of Fulton. The remains
we're placed in the Fulton cemetery. His
death is keenly felt by the community at
large and by his many friends. His
stricken parents and other relatives have
the sympathy of all in their bereave
ment.

ACOMPROMISE REACHED.
The Bank of Edgerton Litigation About to
be Settled out of Court.

DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS TO PAY
S57 800 TO BE RELEASED FROM LIABILITY.
After a prolonged conference held at
GAINESVILLE last Friday, at which were
present the stockholders in the old Bank
of Edgerton, the depositors committee
having charge of the litigation and most
of the attorneys interested on both sides,
an agreement was reached whereby the
suits now pending in court against the
bank officers are to be discontinued upon
the payment of a certain sum in cash.
The amount which the stockholders
agreed to make up among themselves is
$4,000, and the depositors are to retain
the right of action against the M. E..
churches of Edgerton and Albion Prairie,
Fulton Lodge T. & A, NJ, the heirs of
John Son, Bank of Lodi, estate of Thos.
Hutson and G. t. Durham, from which
some further assets are expected to be
obtained by litigation. This amount
which the stockholders are to raise will
fall upon seven or eight people, but the
bulk will come from John Hurd and
Thomas Thronson, whom we understand
pledge themselves to make good nearly
$4,000 each, which is net loss to each
of them. j. P. Towne's contribution is
said to be fully one-half as much as
Hurd or Thronson's, while those of John
j. Pearson Henry Marsden and r. c..
Carter are as much, in most cases, as
they are financially able to pay. What
ever comes to the pool from the estates
of L. Fl. Page, I. P. Morgan and W. w.
Williams must be ordered paid by the
probate court and will require some time
to adjust.
The cash which Receiver Towne has
on hand and the estimated value of as
sets are about $22OO0 making in all
$4,000 to be divided among the credit
ors of the bank. It is quite probable
that 20 per cent dividend can be paid
about June LIST, which will take S64 900,
and then leave something to be divided,
five per cent or thereabouts, after all the
accounts are closed and costs and ex-
penses paid. The creditors will there
fore, get in all about 55 per cent of their
claims against the bank.
We are informed that the usual mode
of procedure to get the whole matter be-
fore the court will be for the plaintiffs to
obtain an order to show cause upon all of
the parties why permission should not be
granted to permit a settlement on this
basis. At the hearing if the court is so
advised, it will make an order permitting
such settlement which will be binding
upon all parties to the action.

Story of "a GiIded Fool

If the presentation of Nat Goodwin s
favorite comedy, "A Gilded Fool" by
VIM. Owen, meets the expectations of
his audience here, the production next
Friday evening promises to be the best
performance ever given before an Edger-
ton audience. GA Gilded Fool is the
story of rich young Westener who is
left heir to a great fortune by the death
of an uncle, and who goes to New York,
as he says "to blow it in" While there
his unsophisticated good nature makes
him an easy prey to that shoal of sharks
who infest the metropolis; from the dead
beat who touches him for five to the
promoter who tries to fleece him for hun
dreds of thousands. But Short, that is
the name of the "Gilded Fool'' not only
has native American humor, but native
American shreWdness as we'll. At first
the crowd that surrounds him amuses
him, but as soon as he finds out that
their only interest in him is to pluck
him, and then laugh at him, he soon
turns the tables and the laugh is on
them.
Through the play runs pretty love
store between Short and daughter of
one of the four hundred. Short has all
the breezeness of the Western prairies,
but knows nothing of the over refined
manners of New York's most exclusive
society, but he has qualities of the heart,
which make society manners look like
tinsel compared to real gold, and the
girl soon discovers it. And all ends as
merrily as marriage bells.
The other characters in the play are
an interesting lot. They are all Ameri-
cans and each one is type of some pc
culiar phase of American life. There is
the Wall Street plunger, who thinks no
more of wreclxiug a firm and the thous-
ands who are interested in that firm than
he would of killing a fly. Then there is
the relic of the past generation of New
York's sweldom who hates everything
new. She loves old houses, old manners,
and of course she loves herself, but is
willing to make compromise with her
dislike of newness in favor of Short, be-
cause Short is rich, and money is con-
venience even to an American aristocrat.
Nell her niece is different kind of a
girl, bright as a new dollar and rings as
true. She bubbles over with spirit and
fun and keeps her aunt guessing" Like
the average American girl her instincts
are true, and the fact that a man has
social prestige to back him, does not
blind her to his defects She knows
that true heart is better than social
gloss, and so she fills up her part in the
picture. Then there is the honest
broker, fallen into the hands of the pro-
moters from which Short rescues him.
His wife a society woman, clerks, walters
and attendants.
The story is of absorbing interest. 1t
charms the audience from the rise of the
curtain to the fall. The humor of the
play is truly American, clean, bright and
laughable. The construction of the play
shows the American playwriter at his
best, and is regarded both in London
and New York where Nat Goodwin pro-
duced it, as the finest example of Ameri-
can comedies the stage has yet seen.
