SAVE THE CHECKS YOU GET AT
\. \.
THEY ARE

The above is the motto of a new system of business we inaugurated
time ago for the benefit of cash buyers at u store. Every cash
customer gets, with each purchase, a check with amount of purchase
printed thereon. We agree to give to each purchaser 25c. worth of goods
whenever such purchases added together amount to $500. In other
words, w pay a dividend of 5 per cent on every S. 90 you spend in cash
at store, making you a partner in our business to that extent.
You would pick up a dollar if you found it o the street
and think you we're in luck. You IAN pick up dollars here by our dii-
dend system But this is not luck; it is business-good business. We
are bringing all u resources to bear to make it pay you to be a regular
customer at our store. Yours very truly,

NEW COLLEGE ALLIANCE.
After % Years at Present Location
AndOver Theological Seminary
May join with Harvard.

President Tucker, of Dartmouth col
lege the other afternoon delivered
what may be the last baccalaureate
sermon to graduating class of An
dover Theological seminary, in Andov-
err, Mass.
The ninety-second anniversary of the
institution will be observed within 4
few days, and it is likely that at that
time the proposition to move the SEM
mary to another place will be officially
acted upon.
Last fall only five men composed the
entering class, and the whole student
body the last year has numbered but
%. There are nine professors and three
lecturers.
The latest proposition is to move the
famous old seminary to Cambridge. and
either merge it into the Harvard di-
vnity school, associate it with the uni
versity in some less radical way, or
else continue it on an Independent
basis and under it's old name, trusting
to the prestige that its location in the
university city would be likely to bring.
1t is thought by some that quiet
country town is no longer an advan-
tageous situation for a theological sem
mary.

TOO UNcANNY FOR BURGLAR.
terry Room of n Fraternity
House.

Twelve students in the Delta Tau
Delta fraternity house, 5731 Monroe
avenue, Chicago, were reused from
slumber the other morning by the
bleating of "Whiskers," the lodge goat,
who had pursued burglar over the
back-lot fence. Then it was found that
Theodore Sibley and Charles E. Carey
had been robbed of gold watch and
1919.
The burglar had entered at the front
ard after searching the room occupied
by Sibley and Carey had entered the
mystery room" "Wag Bortes," the
house skeleton, was up late tabulating
the number of nervous prostrations he
had given to freshmen in the last ini-
tiation, and greeted the stranger at
fably. The sacred green and purple
fires burning in the mystic shrine cast
Pickering light over the serene "Wag
Bones" and the burglar felt cold chills
and sudden longing for home. That
is the reason probably he did not loot
the entire building.
When the students found that
"Whiskers" had vanquished the burglar
ley gave him two extra Jumps of sugar
ard put him on double rations of new
cans for a month. 1t is understood
that the skeleton will have a new
shroud with eyeholes to fit, and that
he will be fed on beef tea for fort
night.

MEETS APPROVAL.
COmmissioner Powder
~ Gratihed by Japan's New Or
der Restricting Emigration.

II am gratified at the action of the
japanese government in restricting
the emigration of it's subjects to the
United States" said Commissioner
Powderly. "It was wise action
Unrestricted emigration would have
eventually resulted in the demand for
drastic measures from the people of
the west. This probability has been
happily averted by the judicious and
kindly move Of the Japanese govern
ment."
On account of the action of the Jap
anese government in issuing the order
practically prohibiting emigration to
the United States, there is no longer
any need for the services of Special
Immigration Inspector Watchorn re-
naming on the Pacific coast, where
he was sent to investigate Japanese
immigration and see that the laws re-
lating to aliens coming into the coun-
try were strictly enforced.
Assistant Secretary Taylor has d.
rccted Mr.. Watchorn to return to
Washington as soon as the ships now
on the sea bringing japanese immi-
grants, which left Japan previous to
the issuance of the new order, arrive
and their passengers have been passed
upon by the immigrant officials.

During May 17,752 visitors went to
the top Of the Washington monument,
making a total of 1,S44,635 visitors
since the shaft was opened to the
public in October, 1888. Hardly a
month of the spring and summer
passes that the monument is not
struck by lightning. While the struc-
ture itself escaped last month, a man
who was standing on the lower floor
of the monument, leaning against one
of the iron columns which support the
stairway, received a shock of cleo
tricity in his arm and shoulder. Two
other men who were looking out OF
one of the windows at the top of the
shaft narrowly escaped with their
lives. as the lightning came in the
window directly over their heads.
They were blinded for moment, but

Locked securely away in the big safe

with "lhe Man of The Iron Mask" 1t
required the efforts of four ablebodied
men to place the package in its pres
ent location, and the quartette re-
marked at the time that it was the
heaviest job they had ever handled.
This package, whatever it contains, is
a donation to the government by a
noted collector of c1lrios, the only stip-
ulation accompanying the gift being
that it should not be opened until the
close of the twentieth century or 100
years hence.
a congressional committee, composed
of members of both houses, whose du-
ties are to look after the affairs of the
library, accepted the gift and it's pro-
viso and turned the bulky package over
to Librarian Putnam for safekeeping.
Securely sealed and otherwise pro-
tected against prying eyes of those
who might seek to unravel this MS
terry, the wishes of the donor will be
saeredly respected, AT least M ,ar as
this generation nr "ustodians may be
concerned.

tents are unknown even to themselves.
Naturally enough, however, the mys-
terious parcel has given rise to all
manner of conjectures as to its con-
tents. the most generally accepted the

manuscript or else an ancient stone,
contemporaneous with the obelisk

Maine Division, L. A. W., to See that tn
Law is Complied With.
The work of the Maine Division of the
l.. A. W., this year, will be for a time to
see that the guide boards are erected at
all the cross roads. Just what will be
done later in the season, has not yet been
fully decided. 1t is probable that the
plans for the bicycle paths which were
talked of at the fall meet will be carried
out.
There is provision that every town
shall maintain suitable guide boards at in
tersecting roads. In many of the towns
this provision is not carried out, and many
of the tourists in the State last fall made
complaint of the matter. Letters are al
ready being sent out from the headquart-
ers to the selectmen and road commission
ers of the different towns, notifying them
of the law and asking that it be attended
to. In some cases the selectmen have
been notified that unless the matter is at
tended to the division will take the case
in hand
In many of the cases the town officers
wrote for more time, saying that they
wonld look into the case as soon as the
town meetings were held, as at that time
the matter could be brought up and the
provisions made for carrying on the work
Now that the town meetings are over the
league purposes to push the matter so
that when the tourists come to this State,
during the summer, they will have no
further reason to complain of lack of
guide boards.

A New Maine Book.

Stories of Maine, by Sop HE SWEET, is
an interesting narrative of our S.ate
from the time Of its discovery by tie
Mortimer to the present 1t records
chiefly the events connected with the early
settlements by the English and French,
the delelttulness of the white man in his
dealings with the Indians, the King Phillip
| War, the Revolution, War of 1872, the
Civil War and the 'Aroostoox War;
One of the earliest visitors to Maine was
Thorhall, Scandinavian giant, of whose
feats wonderful stories are told. "When
his ship got aground, he could always
push it off, single handed; when the wind
fell, he rowed the ship with one mighty
oar. He had even been known to pick it
up and carry it across a sand bar, without
troubling the crew to disembark" The
author, however, does not tell this on her
own authority.
The tales of the terrible deeds of the
Indians which have taken place upon the
very soil on which we now live, bring us a
vivid picture of the horrors of those days.
A poem, the ''Ballad of Lovewell's Vic
tory, written by one OF the poets of those
early times, and quoted by Miss SWEET, de
scribes the victory of little band Of Eng
fish over horde of Indians into whose
ambush they bad fallen.
But it is in the Civil War that Maine
shines forth pre- eminently AT the bat
tie in which Williamsburg and Yorktown
were won by the Union forces, the Seventh
Maine saved the army from dsgraceful
defeat and turned the tide of victory in
our favor. The flag of the Sixth was the
first to float from the battlements of the
Confederate troops. OF the battle at
Fredericksburg, General Burnside said,
"Whatever honor we can claim in that
contest was won by the Maine men," At
the battle of Gettysburg it was the Eleventh
Maine that repulsed the foe and turned
the tide of battle. Maine can claim the
honor of raising the first company of
volunteers, and, at the close of the war,
it was to her troops that the surrender of
the Confederate army, flying from the
defeats at Richmond and Petersburg, was
made. Maine has not only distinguished
herself in war, but.sbe is also the home of
many of the greatest politicians and auth
ors of our country. bates Student

The State Convention in Lewiston
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE. J
AUGUSTA, March Ia. 1900. {

REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE, !
AUGUSTA, March IA, 1900
The basis of representation in the call
for the Republican State convention to be
held at Lewiston, Wednesday, April IL,
1900, for the purpose of selecting six can
didates for electors of President and Vice
President of the United States, and four
delegates large and four alternates to
attend the National Republican Conven-
ton to be held at Philadelphia, Pennsyl-
vania, June 10, 1900, and transacting any
other business that may properly come
before it will be as follows:
Each city, town and plantation will be
entitled to one delegate and for each Is
votes cast for the Republican candidate
for Governor in 1896, an additional dele
gate, and for fraction of 40 votes in ex-
cess of IS votes further additional dele
gate.
That there may be no misunderstanding,
the secretary of the committee made a
classification Of delegates. A town or plan
tation which threw IA votes is, under this
call, only entitled.to one delegate. In Or
der to get second delegate it must have
thrown Is votes for the Republican candi-
date for Governor in 1896. The fraction
of 40 votes to give another delegate, must
be in excess of Is votes.
1t is hoped that if any errors are dis
covered in the list they will be promptly
reported to the secretary SO that all mis-
takes may be corrected
