SLOW TO ACT.
The Subscription Committee Meet
ing With No Encouragement.

No further steps have been taken
by the committee appointed to
solicit subscriptions to the Cadiz-
Gracey railroad. The point of
connection with the c. is one that
Hopkinsville people have not felt
any very lively interest in. The
people on the Gracey route them
selves do not appear to want con-
nection and are almost forcing the
road to take another route.

THE NEW MAINE
Will Undoubtedly Be Christened
by a Maine Lady.
Capt. Sigsby Settles Rumor that His
Daughter Will Be Chosen.
Thought that Senator Frs's Granddaughter
May Be The Appoiniee.

Washington. May 26.-Miss Ethel
Sigsbee. daughter of Capt. Charles d.
Sigsbee, late commander Of the ill
fated Maine, has been widely credited
as being the possible sponsor of the
namesake Of that historic vessel. the
new Maine. which will be launched
from the Cramps yard about Aug. l
of the current year.
This rumOr has precipitated a deluge
OF protests. coming mostly from maid
ems of Maine parcntage or their near
relatives. and the letters have been ad-
dressed to the secretary of the navy. to
the Governor Of Maine and to the
Cramps firm.
Regarding the rumor of the un-
pleasantness engendered by the report
that Miss Ethel Sigsbee had been Sc
lected for this honor. Capt. Sigsbee
gave the following statement to the
Herald correspondent. Saturday:
Il desire the public to know that
| neither l. nor any member of my fam
| lily, have been the authority OF this
| rumor. On the contrary. we feel most
keenly the embarrassment which this
unauthorized rumor has occasioned.
think that the report originated
| through the friendship of some one,
| who thought that the new Maine
should be identified with the names
| connected with the history of the old
| Maine. l am sure that no one in a re-
| sponsible position either in the United
States navy or in the Cramps firm
| gave credence to this report.
1T has been the invariable custom
for battleships built for the United
States to be christened by some maid
| en-, selected after the firm building the
vessel had consulted with the Governor
Of the state for which it was named.
think that this procedure will be fol-
lowed in the case of the new Maine.
! 1t is believed that a young woman
from Maine will be selected. and the
concensus Of opinion is that Caroline
Frye Briggs of Bangor. Me. grand
daughter of Senator William p. Frye
will be the lucky aspirant for this dis
tinction.

B0WDOIN COLLEGE NOTES.
The Six Commencement Speakers. Foot Ball

The following six members of the class
of 1901 have been chosen by the facul

1t is understood that foot ball game
with Bates has been arranged for next
| fall. There was no game last year. as
| the Bates management would not
agree to the Bowdoin proposition Of
| an even division of the gate receipts
as is the custom elsewhere. Now Bates
has receded from its position and a
ga me will be played in Lewiston, next
| fall. the two teams sharing equally in
! the receipts after the expenses are
paid
Paine and Libby. both Of 'O3. will
| represent Bowdoin at the intercollegi
ate tennis tournament at LongwOod.
Mass. this week
| Bowdoin was much elated over the
work done by Cloudman and Nutter at
| the great New Haven games. Satur
day. That ClOudman should score in
the 30 dash and the broad jump and
Nuttcr i'm the half mile run was very
gratifying in view Of the fact that
nine colleges which sent teams of from
five to 10 men failed to score a single
point. Bowdoin was the only New Eng
land college outside of Harvard and
Yale to score a point.
A large team and many rooters will
go over to Orono, Saturday, to the
seventh annual Maine Intercollegiate
field day Bowdoin expects to capture
all but two or three firsts in the Is
events and will gather in a good share
of the second and third places.
The base ball team. which did not
start out with great prospects. is now
doing most satisfactory work. 1t has
steadily improved and has won both its
games with the University Of Maine,
the only Maine college nine it has met.
This week it plays Bates at Lewiston.
Wednesday, and Fort Preble at Port
land. Thursday. 1t plays Bates here.
Ivy day, June Is. The two games with
Colby are arranged for June and II.

Time Is at Hand.

Washington, June 15.-Repre-

is in the city today, demands a
Southern man to head the demo-
cratic ticket in 1904. He said !:
Taking Senator Morgan of Ala
bama or Senator Daniel of Virginia,
Senator Bacon Of Georgia or Senator
Carmack of Tennessee or Senator
Bailey of Texas, any of these would
do admirably. The South has
plentyof good presidential material.
Ex-Confederates have served in
every public position since the
war. They have held local Offices
and been elected to congress and the
senate. They have served on the
sdpreme bench and been appointed
by republican and democratic pres
idents. The time has arrived for
the nomination of Southern man
for president.
