A Drop in Beer.

a falling of sling of three barrels
OF bottled beer yesterday onto the
deck OF the good ship Iroquois caused
little ripple Of excitement on the
vessel and dock where her cargo is
being put out. Three casks OF beer
contain a good deal of the beverage
and it was comical to watch the an
tics OF some of the natives as the fluid
ran into the scuppers. 1t was too much
for them to see all this good booze"
going to waste and some of it found
its way into several buckets standing
conveniently by and later was imbibed
with much gusto by the freight hand
lers.

~A~.< along the front Had she
arrived on time as was
expected there would not have been
as much interest manifested in her
coming as there Is at the present
time. and II is safe TO say from the
amount Of talk. that she has been the
subject Of for the past three days that
there will be a record-breaking crowd
a. the wharf TO see her come in.
Has the Sierra been sighted yete"
was common question every once in
a while yesterday. The whistles sn-
nouncing the Miowera were the cause
of a tremendous business by telephone
and when central answered that il
was the Niowera a great many people
did not wait TO think but mistaking
the two names rushed to the wharf 20
fnd that il was the vessel from the
Colonies.
Somebody said that under the new
contract the Tessel would have TO wait
in San Francisco three days IL need be
for the mail; another said that II
steamers would have TO wait but that
forty-eight hours was the limit. One
man thought that the vessel had left
on time and that the officers had tried
to push her TO her utmost speed and
that resulted in a breakdown. This
supposition was argued pro and con
for a time and ii was finally decided
that even II she had had a breakdown
she would have arrived here by this
time.
Late in the afternoon man made
his appearance who had had a dream
about the Sierra and the John Currier.
The latter vessel was sighted on the
last trip here of the Zealandia about
a thousand miles from San Francisco
and she was expected at the latest
last week The man is greatly inter
ested in the arrival Of the Currier and
he told his dream which was as fol-
lows: The Currier was coming along
II a good rate and was within 4 hun
dred miles OF land when she was run
into and badly damaged by steamer
in the darkness. In his dream he saw
the crash and thought that the steam
er. which was the Sierra. after strik-
ing. was able to back away from the
sailing vessel. She stood by and
finally took the vessel in tow, making
for this port Then the man woke ui'.
With regards the time that steam
er carrying the British mail would
have TO wait in San Francisco il the
mail was late. Mr.. Giffard. of the firm
OF W. G.. Irwin & Co.. said he was not
informed. He knew that as soon as
the mail was put on board that the
vessel would have to leave. He also
said that in his recollection steamers
OF his company had waited in San
Francisco as long as three days for
the mail when il was late and several
times a steamer had waited two DAYS
for the mail. The company was al
Ways reimbursed for delay caused
by a wait for the mail and the govern
ment which exacted a forfeit for lie
lay on the part of the company was
always willing to pay a per diem |
charge for delay occasioned the |
company by no fault OF its own. where |
1t had waited for the mail.

CHINA AGAINST THE WORLD.
War has Begun in the East.

LONDON, June 10, $50 a. m China de-
clared war against the world when the Taku
forts opened fire upon the international fleet
The accounts of what took place are still,
unsatisfactory, the best semi official informa-
tion being the dispatch received at Berlin
from ChefOo.
HoNGKoNG, British China, June Is. The
Chinese forts at Taku, commanding the
entrance to the Peiho river, opened fire
upon the allied foreign fleets yesterday
Sunday morning without warning.
The warships replied silenced the Chinese
guns, sent out landing parties and took pos
session of the forts. One British vessel is
reported to have been sunk
The casualties in men are not vet known
here.
LONDON, June 2o-3 A. NJ. 'The Rus
sian relieving force arrived outside Pekin
this morning. says the Shanghai CORE
spondent of the Daily Express, "and imme-
diately began to attack the city on two
sides, employing numerous artillery.
"Ihe force apparently arrived in the nick
OF time, for the Chinese report that the at
tack upon the legations had been success
fully renewed. On the night of June l6 the
Chinese troops under Generals Tung Fuh
Slang and Tung Ching attacked the lega-
tlons and set on fire five European buildings
Nothing definite is known of the result ex-
cept that the Chinese were disappointed,
although other reports, utterly discredited
by foreigners here, are that the Chinese, in
furiated by the destruction of Taku, have
since massacred all the foreigners in Pekin.'

CLASS HISTORY.

lhe writer of cOntemporaneouS history
always labors under disadvantage To be
Justly treated history must be viewed in the
light of future events. OF necessity this
difficulty always confronts the class histo-
rian; but the chronicler of the class of 1900
encounters even greater difficulties, for her
narrative must deal not so much with the
things we have done as with the things we
have left undone. We have not INDUCED in
any of the luxuries which previous classes
have enjoyed such as class rides, entertain
ments and social gatherings. We are also a
very modest class and so of course are diff
dent about thrusting upon the public our
rellglous and political views, and, for Obvi-
Gus reasons, also, we refrain from mention
ing the average size of our shoes or heads
We hope that our heads have enlarged dur
jng the four years. If not, it not the fault of
our teachers. All the personal information
can give you is that our youngest is fifteen
and our oldest twenty-one
We entered the high school in the autumn
of 96 with 46 members. During our first
year we behaved as most Freshmen do. On
one occasion we were told that we were al
together too fresh, and unless my memory
fails me it is not the only time we have heard
similar expressions. During our first year
we lost by death one of our members. FlOs-
sic Mitchell
we entered upon our Sophomore year
with only % members and with new prin-
cipal, Mr.. Mcclellan, who took the place of
Mr.. lllsley: 1t was during our second year
that we had our first class meeting and chose
our class cOlOrs, garnet and gold, and our
class flower, the jacQueminOt rose.
At length we arrived at the dignity of the
upper class men and at our first class meeting

This June evening, which to many has

time, to be enjoyed Or endured, as their
moods may dictate, to us marks all era in our
life's history. 1t will always stand, shining

Here we pause to Thank the many who

terest during almost our entire course in
this school and to his successor, our thanks
are due for his attention in this, the eleventh
hour.
Members of the School Board, it is fitting
for us to thank you for the privileges you
have enabled us to enjoy and how much we
have appreciated them our historian has al
ready indicated
Teachers, we thank you for your daily
care and thought; and even more heartily
do we thank you for that influence, which,

The victorious Rockland High school ball
team had grand reception on their arrival
i'll the LIMERICK city last Friday evening.
The Rockland Star says:
The boys and excursionists marched from
Atlantic wharf to postoffice square with the
beat of drum, their banner of orange and
black waving in the breeze and new brooms
raised straight from the shoulder. They
had won victory-an honor to themselves
and to their city-,they had captured the
trophy and won the championship IN the
Knox-Waldo league. Well they deserved
an ovation. and Rockland did it up red last
evening. When they reached the postottce
the kockland Military Band, which was
giving a concert at their stand, kindly con-
sented to give the boys a parade, which they
did, marching through Main street. Red fire
was burned, rousing cheers given for the vic
tors. Roman candles fired off, and Frost, the
pitcher, was borne on the shoulders of
knowlton and Veazie during the parade.
At the close of the march the boys repaired
to "HaSkelfS'' and drank soda,
