MISS GOULD NOT In PEKIN.
Nearly All the Evidence shows That
She staid at Pao Ting Fu.,

Major John M. Gould received a letter
yesterday from Mrs. DR.. Noble of the
Pao Ting Flu mission, but now at home
in New Haven on a furlough. She writes
that she has letter from Pao Ting later
than has been received here. Rev. Mr..
Pitkin wrote from Pao Ting May %, six
days later than Major Gould's card from
his daughter, that the railroad had been
partly destroyed by Boxers, but they
hoped it might be repaired SO that Miss
Gould could go to the annual meeting at
Pekin or more correctly at Tung Chou
which is twelve miles below Pekin and
the seat of the college.
Later still than Mr.. Pitkin's letter is
one from Rev. Mr.. Ament, who wrote
from Tung Chou to his friends in Ober-
lin, Ohio, concerning the meeting. ''Miss
Gould and Mr.. Pitkins have remained in
Pao Ting Flu and wish they hadnt as
things seem to be in turmoil.
Mrs. Noble closes her letter with the
hope that the local officials at Pao Ting
Flu have been able to protect all of the
missionaries there. She speaks of them as
having always been ON good terms with
the missionaries, and as having received
professional calls and other favors from
DR.. Noble and his coadjutors.
1t will be remembered that the Tung
Chou college was looted and burned by
the Boxers June s, the Chinese converts
massacred and the foreigners driven to
Pekin, where it IS understood they are
still besieged inside the British legation.
The cablegram from Rev. III. G. Ewing
which was published Saturday shows that
he knew Miss Gould intended to go to
the meeting, but we do not think he
could have heard from her later than the
dates cited by Nessrs. Pitkin and Ament.
E The latest letter, 50 far as Major Gould
knows to have come to this country from
the interior of China, is one from Miss
Russell to the Boston Mission Headquar-
ters, Pekin, June 3. In all the personal
and official correspondence thus far re-
ceived there is nothing to show that Miss
Gould went to Pekin, except the cable.

A HUNDRED BARRED OUT.


The summer kindergarten, maintained
for the past two years by the Pine Tree
kindergarten association has opened its
doors for its third term in the old quar-
tiers at the Bethel church.
One hundred ana fifty children made
application where there was room for
only 80.
Miss Jane Proctor who was the first
woman in Maine to take the kindergar-
ten training has been engaged by the
Pine Tree association to take charge of
the school and on this occasion she was
equal to the emergency.
Addressing the children, who were of
all ages from the merest fodder to boys
and girls OF IA she said: "Boys and
girls we have room for only so; this is a
kindergarten, now what is right for US
to do, shall we take the little ones or
shall we take your
answer from the older children, "take
the little ones"
A careful selection was made of those
of kindergarten age until the limit was
reached and then waiting list was made.
But it was pitifu1 to see the disappointed
faces of the 100 barred out. The girls
audibly ''just wished they could come
and the boys hung about ''sposing you
might want somebody to help do some
thin'.''
1t was an emphatic appeal for the vaca-
ton schools and public Fairgrounds the
Civic club has been urging for two years.

UNDER ARREST FOR LARCENY.

Archibald McCausland is under arrest
at the police station for larceny. It seems
that he was hired for the haying season
by Ira Foss of the Checkley house, and
had room in the house on the latter's
farm. He occupied a room with two
others of the help, and they left various
articles of clothing in the room. From
this clothing there was missing on Mon
day morning eleven dollars in money, q
watch chain, razor and other things Nc
Causland left the house and took to the
woods, emerging later and getting a
ride with Mr. Lane, the expressman.
The latter knew that McCausland was
wanted and he at once turned him over
to the police. The accused man had not
the money on him, but the watch chain
was found in his possession. He will be
taken before the court this morning.

COURT MARTIALED.
Capt. Baker Charged with Net Pre-
venting His Soldiers from Looting In
Philippines.


The court martial which tried Captain
George L. Mcconnell and L H. Baker,
Forth-sixth infantry, for falling to en-
force the regulations against looting by
their soldiers in the Philippines found
that Captain Mcconnell was not guilty,
and sentenced Captain Baker to be repri-
manded. Both findings were disapproved
by Major General Bates and Brig. Gen.
Hall, the reviewing authorities.
Captain Baker formerly commanded
company B of the First Maine Volun-
teers and is a Portland man. Little is
known about the charges which were pre-.
ferred against Capt. Baker and Captain
Mcconnell by his friends here and the re
ports which have been published about
this case are very meagre and unsatis-
factory. Captain Baker has the reputa-
tion Of being a strict disciDlinarian ano
his frie nds in Portland feel that there
mus t be some mistake in relation to the
charges which were preferred against him
