lined in a letter to Chief O'Neill yester-
day are carried out. An Internal ma

has at last received some recognition.
IA teacher in the Boys High School Of
Brooklyn has initiated the plan Of CIV
ing prizes, not for eminence Of attain
ment. but for general Improvement.
This method, instead Of being based on
the pupils competition with his fell
lows, is grounded in his competition
with himself. It assumes that 1t is
more. OF an honor to gain q prize for
steady Improvement, which means
faithful and persistent work, than to
gain one for a high percentage Of
scholarship. which may be the result
Of great natural ability. It IL hoped
that the encouragement may lessen the
number Of pupils-nearly one-third--
who now drop out Of the high SCHOOL,
before the completion Of the course.

RALLY, WALDO COUNTY |!

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNALS: In
Miss Addie B. Crockett of Searsport is the
only candidate in Waldo county, and it is
important that every native of the county,
whether resident OF scattered over every
nook and corner of our land, should rally to
her support and work for her success
Realizing that many persons would be
glad to assist, but have no opportunity of
getting the coupons, we wish to say that
these can be bought for one cent each. So
if you cannot obtain coupons give, instead,
your money, however small Cor lar4e) the
amount may be and vote will be secured
for every penny of it. Let each school
teacher and postmaster in Waldo county
push the matter in his or her immediate
vicinity. receive the coupons, or money,
from those who are collecting them, and
forward the same either to Miss Crockett
or to the postmaster, Searsport, Maine.
Either coupons or money may be sent to the
undersigned, who will acknowledge the re-
ceipt of all money, and will gladly secure
the coupons. mark them properly and place
them in the Globe office to Miss Crockett's
credit All votes must be in on or before
the middle of February, consequ emily there
is no time for delay. Allow me to suggest
the follow ing plans:
First Let three thousand scholars who
read this appeal resolve to obtain at least
ten coupons (Or ten cents) each from their
friends and hand the same to their teacher,
who will promptly forward them to one of
the addresses above given. Pupils, this can
easily be done. Act at once!
Second. Let each Of the above pupils
show this appeal to at least one other
scholar who has not read it, and urge him to
take the same action.
Third. Get up ''coupon" parties, sociables
or some other form of entertainment in every
town or district. Have the price of admis-
sion a certain number of coupons, ten or
more as is thought best, and any one who
has not the printed votes may pay cash.
Thus many delightful social occasions may
be had, and thousands of votes received.
Try it!
Fourth. Let each one who has already
done something re-dOuble his or her efforts
| in the two weeks remaining in the contest.
Do you realize that victory would be
assured if five thousand persons would each
get ten votes in the next week or two? 1t
can be done. Will you do your share? Rally
for the honor of Waldo county!

from the Governor this morning:
STATE OF MAINE,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.,
To the Honorable Senate and House Of Rep
reSentativeS:
The death of her royal majesty, Queen
Victoria, has caused universal grief and
sorrow. By her noble and exemplary life
and her kindly and sympathetic interest in
every effort for the promotion of the well
fare and happiness of the human race, she
has endeared herself to all mankind. The
whole civilized world will mourn her loss.
To the highest degree she has enjoyed the
confidence, respect and affection of her peo-
pie, and her life and memory will be an liz
spiration to future generations. She en-
bodied the noblest qualities of womanhood
as wife, mother and ruler, her career being
without a parallel in the history of the
world.
Her long and happy reign marks a period
OF wonderful development and progress of
her country, to which her wisdom and in
f1uence have largely contrlbu ted.
| trust the Legislature will take some
action to express our sympathy for her peo-
pie, and our respect and reverence for her
memory.
