ANNOUNCEMENT CAME SUDDENLY.
Not Until Week Ago Was il Decided 10 Close
st. Catharne's.

Even with the rector Rev. George F.
Degen. the move to close St. Catha-
rine's Han came sooner than any one
anticipated. Rev. Mr.. Degen had
made every plan for continuing the
school. in the fall There have been
many persistent rumors that the school
was to be closed. When seen each
time Rev. Mr.. Degen said that the
school would surely continue. He him
self was SO hopeful that he had placed
contracts for advertising and had left
orders with the printers for circulars
and a booklet.
He had hoped that people of influence
and property would take hold Of the
school and help it. or ut least give en-
enlargement. This they did not do.
The climax came n week ago Friday.
Then little incident came up that set
tied the question in the mind of Rev.
Mr.. Degen. Following out this idea
he made up his mind to close the
school.
The closing Of the school is a great
disappointment to Rev. Mr.. Degen.
who has worked hard and late to make
it a success and in addition to that
has dipped his hand down in his own
pocket to the extent of about $500 that
the school might lc "A success.
Briefly summed up, the reasons for
closing the school are Il lack of local
interest and a lack Of interest by peo-
pie Of prominence in the diocese.

Poultry Experiments.

Bulletin Ga Of the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station contains an ac-
count of experiments in fattcning
chickens for the market and the egg
record Of The breeding pens for 1899.
.c results of the fdttening expert
ments SHOW larger total and individual
gains and cheaper flesh production in
the case of chickens with partial liher-
ty. Tho custom commonly practiccd
by English ana French chicken
fatteners Of combining the birds in small
coops- was found more troublesome ana
less profitable than maintaining them
in small nocks with restricted runs.
The age at which fattening begins is
very important. Chickens 20 weeks Oh
gained IL pounds in 3 weeks while
chickens - weeks old gained less than
pound in the same length Of time. Il
required pounds Of grain mixture to
produce a pound Of gain in live weight
with the older birds ana less than 6
pounds in the case Of the younger
birds.
The results of breeding for egg pro-
duction will prove of interest to all en-
gagged in keeping hens for profit.
Bulletin 81 will be sent free to all
residents Of Maine who apply to the

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE
What Becomes OF the Patient.

Doctors have their hobbies as well as
other people and in the treatment Of
disease often carry them too far for
the patients good. For instance i'll
the treatment of indigestion or dys-
pepsia many doctors give bismuth and
nothing else, others rely on pepsin to
bring their patients through, stlll
another doctor treats stomach troubles
with the various vegetable essences
and fruit salts
Now one or the other of these excel
lent remedies becomes a hobby WIN
the doctor who has had the most sue
cess with the particular one in ques-
ton. because all of them are first-class
remedies for indigestion and dys-
nensia but not one of them alone is so
GOOD as a combination of all Of them.
such as is found in Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets which contains not only
vegetable essences and fruit salts, but
also the freshest. purest pepsin ana
bismuth. making altogether remedy
,,s,,nacsc1 for every form
Of Indigestion. sour stomach,
nervous dyspepsia, belching OF
gas. distress after eating, sleepless-
ness. headaches. etc.
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not a
secret patent nostrum. but you can see
far Yourself what it is and knowing
this. its success as a dyspepsia cure Is
not surprising. All druggists recon-
mend and sell them at 80 cents.

HALF A HUNDRED GONE.
Opened The Rear Door. Forced the Cash Resi.-
ter and is Now Missing.

The officers are looking for a young
man who it is believed has stolen 4
sum of money from w. G.. Soule. the
dry goods dealer. The money was
missed. a week ago. At that time the
PROPRIETOR was in the back shop lock-
ing up for the night. He paid off the
clerks as usual and then placed a roll
of bills in the cash register draw and
locked it. When the Pullman went out,
that night. it had aboard the proprie-
tor, Mr.. Soule.
When the clerks went to the store,
Monday morning, they found that some
one had been tanperinG with the cash
register. Indications showed that some
one had entered the store by the Com
mercial street door ana after gaining 4
safe entrance had gone to the cash
register draw This had been forced
open with a stove cover litter.
Just how much money was taken at
the time ii was not known, as Mr.
Soule was in Boston. and it could not
De told how much he had taken with
him. 1t is since learned that the roll
contained something like $50.
The officers are of the opinion that a
young man who was in the store at
the time was the one who took the
money. While Mr.. Soule was locking
up for the night the young man was
sitting in the back shop. taking in eV-
erything that was going on. He dsap-
peared soon after the theft occurred
and the officers have not been able to
locate him.
When the theft occurred the windows
20 aimed h4 shades having hgpTl
drawn for the night, 50 that it was
impossible for any one to see what was
going on inside. Entrance had been
easily effected through the rear door
of the store. as it was fastened by an
ordinary lock that might be started
with any ordinary key.

AT the present time there is not what
might be called an epidemic Of any
contagious disease in the State. The
little furry at Bolton Hill is all over
and no new cases are reported. The

on account of her leaving for home has
made an amicable arrangement with
the health authorities Of NaSsalboro'
and no further trouble is anticipated

STATE HOUSE.
Plans Being Formed for the
Muster in August.
10000 More Invitations Required For
Old Home Week.
Nomination Papers Coming ina Remarkable
Absence Of Contagious Diseases.

The sinks at the muster field Will be
burned, the first of the week. This Is
the present plan of Adjutant General
Richards. The order to have the sinks
destroyed was received some time ago,
from the secretary Of war. Now that
the time for the muster is fast APP
preaching steps Will be taken to carry
the order into effect.
General Richards has a very pretty
idea for the muster that he would like
to carry into effect, which is prevent
ed through the shortness of the time.
The idea is to have the regiments ar
rive here at the usual time, late in the
afternoon, and then go to the muster
field, sleeping for that night under the
shelter tents. Then. in the morning,
to make the demand on the quarter
master for the tents and go into camp
in the regular form.
Should this plan be carried out it
would take d good part of a day TO
pitch the tents. AS each regiment
will be in camp but a week, too much
valuable time would be taken.
Before the men do arrive, everything
at the muster field will be in the pink
Of condition. New sinks will be erect
ed in place of those which will be
burned and the mess houses and kitch-
ems will ID repaintcd and whitewashed.
G,n. richards first thought always is
Of the comfort and health Of his men,
and while the changes made will great
ly improve the appearance of the mus
ter field. yet. back of all will be the
improved sanitary condition for which
General Richards is always looking.

II is estimated that it will take at
least TO- 900 invitations to the Old Home
Week celebration. in addition to those
already sent ont. This does not include
those sent from Portland. There will
be almost no limit to the number sent
from that place. Nor does the number
include the full number that will be
sent out outside of Portland. Hardly
a day passes when demands are not
made on Hon. S. W. Matthews, secre-
tary of the Maine Old Home Week
Association for new invitations.
This. to Mr.. Matthews. is an evidence
that the people are awakening to the
importance of the event. He has in his
office a score of blanks denOting the
formation of the associations and re
quests are coming in, every day for
more of the blanks for organization of
the associations. \ glance over the
names of associations already formed
show that the formation is not confined
to any one section Of the State. Rather
associations are formed in every part.
As yet, nothing definite has been de-
cfded about the reduction of railroad
fares 1t has been minated that the
fares would be reduced and it is eX-
pected that the announcement Of rates
will be made in a short time. Col. f.
f.. Boothby never does anything by
halves and with him at the head OF the
association there is slight question
that he will leave nothing undone that
would induce people to return home.
Secretary Matthews left. yesterday.
for Portland with the purpose of haV-
ing a talk with Col. BOothby and max
ing further arrangements for plans.
