For instance, when you enter the i'm

Hays residence on fashionable Six

blasts of autumn till jonquils come
again; dark. polished oak in mantel
and woodwork: carpet and hangings

stands with magazines in convenient
hooks, and pictures galore. Among the
latter you first notice a fine portrait
OF the secretary and his son, the late
AdeIbert Hay, whose sad death oc-

Senator and Mrs. Depew, in the old
Corcoran mansion, which the late SEN
ator Brice made a symphony in white
and crimson, have instituted few
changes. The Moorish design of the
hall and its classic columns, all of
snowy white, are heavily gilded, and
the red velvet carpet of the long hall
opens into numerous doors that show
other vistas of white and gold and
CRIMSON with graceful palms and
everywhere great bowls of flowers
Another palatial home is that of Sem
ator Foraker. The reception hall is big
enough for ball room, and at one
end is cavernous fire place where
winter logs send out cordiality and
good cheer. There is an
Imposing coat-of-arms in ham

set about the vast place are chairs
and tables of richly carved and pol-

warning, almost in the morning of his
career. He had been some weeks in
Washington, on business of impor-
lance, and was stopping at the Riggs
House A sudden attack of indigestion
brought on vomiting, ,the strain of
which caused the bursting of a blood
vessel in the brain. and he was dead
before doctor could arrive. He had
been married some years, but had no
children. Mrs. De Graffenreid has not
been in Washington since her hus-
bands election to Congress- preferring
the quiet home life in Longview, Tex
Mr.. De Graffenreid was an unusually
successful lawyer. having graduated
from the University of Tennessee and
the Lebanon Law School at the age of
10, so that he had earned the right to
practice before he had attained his ma
1ority. Before coming to Congress his
law practice in Texas netted him up
wards of thirty thousand dollars a
year. He will be greatly missed in
Congress, where he was serving his
third term.
1t goes without saying, that Wash
ington official society, and especially
the intimate circle of the Supreme
Court, is deeply pleased by the ap-
pointment of Judge Holmes of Boston
to the position of associate justice in
place of Justice Gray. He is vet with
his family at their summer home

SOMERSET EDUCATORS
Conclude Their Session With Interest.
ing Papers and Discussions.

The convention of the Somerset Edu-
catiOnal Society concluded with the
forenoon session, Saturday. A former
principal of the High school, a man
who has had a wide experience in at
tending similar meetings, declares this
the most interesting convention of its
kind he has ever known. From first tC
last, the interest in the discussions has
been close and enthusiastic, and the
papers and addresses vigorous and in
spring. The association is composed
of earnest. efficient teachers, who have
their work thoroughly at heart, and
who come together in these meetings
with sincere purpose to profit by ar
interchange of views and a freedom OF
discussion upon the vital problems OF
school management.
Prof. w. ii. Hartshorn of Lewiston
who was to have been the speaker. Fri
day evening. was unavoidably detained
and his place was taken by the ever
ready State superintendent. Hon. w
w. Stetson of Auburn. His task was
an earnest. practical discussion of sew
eral educational matters of interest t.
the teachers and the general public.
Saturday morning, after a short busi'
ness session, Miss Ethel Morrill, OF
Show hegan, presented a paper upon
Methods of Teaching Arithmetic,
which was followed by general dis
cussion, opened by Miss Alice Lawley
of Madison. Miss Rose Dearborn,
teacher of music and drawing in the
Skowhesan schools, then gave an IL

he contracted for the stone failed 50
that he had to take over the quarry

that had the contract for the woodwork
also had difficulties so that it had to

spring. To beat Bowdoin has been the
greatest ambition to the other colleges
for years, but now this Is getting t6
be more common occurance and none
of her teams are greatly superior tC
those of the other colleges. Bowdoir
has not fallen back but the other col
leges have caught up with her and all
four are now on the same level with
equal chances Of winning out in base
ball or football while Maine has shown
herself worthy rival Of BOwdoin on
the track.
Now it seems to me that the four
can get together and devise a code of
rules that will settle once for all pro-
fessionalism, the 'swiping' Of players
from other colleges and all the other
bones of contention that have been
gnawed for several years past. With
a good set of rules leagues should be
formed in baseball and football. and
the whole thing regulated so that there
couldn't be any such tangle regarding
the championship as there has been,
this fall, in football, and as there has
IF any three of the colleges can
agree on something like this the fourth
could doubtless be forced into it with
the others. If the situation should be
explained to other colleges in New
England they would doubtless be will
ing to assist the Maine colleges by re-
fusing to play the obstinate one in any
sport. The fourth college would then
have chance to put into practice the
theory of the professor out in Chicago
who believes any game should be
played for just the fun of playing and
with no idea of winning.
1T looks to me as if an arrangement
of this kind would be a great benefit
all around. With leagues. in baseball
and football and all the teams playing
for a pennant the financial end of the
sports would be sure to improve. Even
with the hit or miss system of this
year there was great interest in the
football games and record breaking
crowds at all the important ones. Af
ter all there's nothing like league to
arouse interest and enthusiasm and
believe the colleges in Maine have
wasted lots of good money by not hav-
ing them during the past few years.
Then an arrangement of this kind
would tend toward cleaner athletics.
No slurs could then be cast on any
player for his eligibility would have
to be settled before he entered a game
just as that of the players in the larger
colleges.

make a move in this direction and
