WATERVILLE DAILY TALK

When Jean Ingraham. director of the Waterville dramatic club, went to fhe parish hall last night in order to hold a rehearsal of the drama Under the Gaslight." he was greeted by the jan 1tor and the big gray pastoral eat. The hall was about as empty as conld be, under the circumstances, and Mir h. graham returned and nursed g severe cold.
 This throws some light upon the conditions existing at present with the Waterville Dramatic club and also calls attention to the fact that the play will be produced some months la Ter than was intended owing to the chaotic state of affairs now existing 1fr Ingraham, it is understood, has withdrawn as director of the local or ganization. and one or two others have left the club. When seen in regard to the trouble Mir Ingraham was re- ticenf.
 The club is now negotiating with an- other well known retired actor to con duct rehearsals for the remainder of the time, and It is understood that the public is quite anxious to attend this performance by local talent. Just why several of the members and the theatrical director could not get along well together Is not explained. but the attendance at rehearsaIs of late has dwindled down gradually to almost nothing.

MURDERED BY BULL.
Man Is Deliberately Killed by q
 Revengeful Beast.
Other Instances Which Prove Com clusive1y That Animals Fre- Quent1y Cherish Enmities
 Toward Human Beings.

In almost every part of the world man-killing by animals is common enough, but cases where a man is murdered deliberately by an animal are quite rare. There have been rases, though, where animals have killed men in such manner that, had they been bipeds instead of quadrupeds, they would have been tried for and convicted of murder in the first degree. Stories of several murders by animals come from Eng land. A Lincolnshire bull suddenly evinced hatred for it's owner, and the farmer had need of the greatest agility to avoid the animal whenever he happened to be in the same field with it. With every one else on the farm the bull was as gentle as could be, and even would come to the farm hands to be petted in response to peculiar call. One day farm hand working in field saw the bull, which was grazing in meadow near by, walk to gate leading to the yard of the house, lift the latch with his nose and pass through. In the yard was the farmer, asleep in chair tilt ed against the side of the house. The bull seemed to know that the farmer was asleep, and stealthily approached him. The farm hand, real izing what the animal was about, ran with a pitchforl1 to try to pre- vent the impending murder, but he was too late. The bull paused within half dozen paces of the sleeping farmer, lowered his head and made

NEcKwEAR OF PRESIDENTS

President Roosevelt is liable to revolutioniZe the collar business if he doesn't change his style said a Broadway haberdasher the other day. Since he became president we have had q number of calls for the Roose- welt collar Of course there IS no such collar on the market either as to name or style. It is my opinion that the president has his collars made to or der. Unquestionably .here is more comfort in the kind he wears than in most others, but they are not becom- ing to everybody, any more than the high turnovers would be becoming to President Roosevelt. The Roosevelt collar, if you care to get at it's genesis came into presidential favor when Grant was elected the first time. But Grant wore a boW-knot tie. which gave the collar a different appear ance from that worn by President Roosevelt
 Lincoln was the first If our presi- dents to discard the old-fashionef stock, which if worn now would make man look as if he had sore throat. Lincoln's collars when he became president were part and parcel of his shirt-'sewed on,' as a woman would say. 1 am told that Lincoln was not nouceably tidy sin his collars. They had wilted look always. His favor ite neckwear was black silk tied in a careless way, quite becoming to him. When Andrew Johnson succeeded to the presidency the old stock returned 10 the White House. He wore the wide. stand-up collar, which was en- circled by q black satin stock with q short stiff bow.

THE TURKISH PORT SEIZURE.

Friendly Replies From the Powers
 Follow France's Declaration. PARIS, Nov. S.-Admfral Cai1lard teiegraphed to the ministry of marine that he had occupied Mitylene and taken over the customs establishments. The French government has sent cir cular note to the powers announcing it's intentions with regard to the porte.
 The report that the French squadron has anchored at Syra, 112 nautical miles from Nfitylene, is untrue. The rumor probably arose from the fact that a French dispatch boat had ar rived at that place.
 The friendly replies received from the United States, Austria and Italy in regard to the action of France ill the Turkish affair have created an excel lent impression here.
 There is no further news in regard to the movements of Admiral Caillard.

 4 corporal in native Indian regi- ment was murdered by a monkey. The monkey had been caught young, and had been kept as pet by an officer of the regiment, who was fond of him on account of the unusual duty of certain corporal to feed the monkey, and one day he accidentally gave it some food which caused it great pain. The monkey never for got or forgave the corporal, though another soldier was assigned to the duty of feeding the animal. One morning the officer awol1e to find his pet, which slept in the same room. missing. He dressed hastily and went out. The first thing he heard was that the corporal had been found in his company room with his throat cut, the monkey sitting on his body
 
 sequently was identified as one be- longing to the officer, and had been left on the table in his room when he went to bed the preceding night. To commit the crime the monkey must have gone out, razor in hand, into the pitch-dark night, walked 200 yards to the mems quarters, slipped past the guard and made his way down long corridor to the room where the corporal was sleeping. No one saw the monkey until after the murder had been committed.
 A boy of 13 was murdered by a race horse, which had taken a vio- lent dislike to him. It is believed that the boy at some time had teased or maltreated the horse, for it was gentleness itself with every one else. The boy was warned not to go near the horse, but one day he entered loose box stall where his enemy was confined. The horse at once knocked the boy down, grabbed him by the back of his waistcoat with his teeth and beat his brains out by slamming him against the sides of the stall. The horse kept the would-be rescuers at bay while he was committing his murder by kicking violently. Having killed the boy, he allowed the stable hands to enter the stall without try ing to do them harm. There have been several instances where ele- plants have watched an opportunity and murdered their keepers, against whom they had some grievance, per- haps of long standing.

East and West Line Up.
 The east side business and profes- sfonal men met the west siderS on the Hotchkiss field yesterday afternoon. if was a hot game and both sides played q fast game. The score at the end of the game stood to 6. Breen made the touchdown for the east sid CTS and. Wedge for the west. The goals were kicked for the east siders by Ensign and for the west siders by Beardsley- There was considerable amusement in the game, occasioned by the players trying to take the ball away rom one another and by the players getting all mixed up and 1ackling their own men. Mike OCon- nell, proprietor of the White House cafe. played tackle for the east side and in one mix-up went back to his original occupation, that of making sandwiches, but in making this one he used Blakesley of the west side and Breen of the east side for his cfusts and Neary of the west Siue for his filling, but there was too much filling and the combination did not come to- gether tight enough to suit Michael, so he planted himself down on Breen's back. and if he had not been pulled off by some of the other players the sand Wich would undoubtedly have been made. The west side men put up good game, and if they had not fum- bled so many times they wound have won the game, but not in an easy manner, for the east side players are 8 fast aggregation and can put up q good game as we'll as the west side players. It is to be hoped that the teams will meet again before the sea- son is over, and if they do good con test can be relied upon. The lineup Of the two teams was as follows:
