A Suggestion to the Daughters"

Editor Kennebec Journal:
The announcement has been made
i'll Your columns of 4 movement in
augurated by the Daughters of the
American Revolution to place, as a
commemorative tribute to the Father
of his Country, Il public watering
trough on or near Monument Park, in
this city. 1t will be recollected that
for some years there stood at the south
corner of the Park a similar provision
for thirsty animals. which, it is pre-
sumed for good and sufficient reasons,
was later relegated, ANONYMOUSLY per-
haps, by the city authorities, to q less
conspicuous, if not more convenient
location. The place it once occupied,
in the Judgment of many, has been
made not less attractive on esthetic
grounds. certainly less offensive to
rassers by, for a former lack of care
and cleanliness, which it seemed to be
nobody's business to observe or re-
gain Our citizens are pardonably
proud of this little Park. with it's ar
tistic monument, its fountain and WELL
kept lawns and walks, and 1t may be
doubted if there remains space enough
in it's restricted area for additional or
namentation. (O
With no other feeling than respect
full consideration for this patriotic i'm
pulse of the Daughters" may not the
suggestion be made, that the money
realized from the proposed entertain
ment be devoted 20 the benefcent
work of some of our worthy local
charities. that are in greater need OF
nh hI. nH
Is 1t saying too much. that in some
such way Il great memory would be
most flttingly illustrated and honored
And will the public spirited "Daugh-
tiers" kindly pardon and consider this,
perhaps, untimely obtrusion by
ONE OF THE SONS.

morning The shifting had been COM

When ;he engine was just below the
crossing and the rear of the train
hich contained II cars extended back
over the Rines Hill. Court street and
Winthrop street crossings. the train
broke apart. The air brakes on the
rear portion of the train failed TO work
and its momentum forced it upon the
forward crd which had stopped. One
car was forced onto the opposite track,
completely blocking that while two
others were piled one on top of the
other. These three cars We're badly
smashed up. One was minus the rear
wheels while the other two were broken
irto kindling wood. All three were un-
loaded fiat cars rendering the damage
mitch less than would have been had
the accident happened to the box cars
just ahead.
Traffic upon the street was held up
until the shifttr could be brought into

crossings. allowing the crowd of foot
passengers. teams and electrics to pass.
The freight engine was brought into

STATE HOUSE.
Interesting Literary Relics Sc
cured by Librarian Carver.
Smallpox Increasing in Town Across
Maine Border.
Governor Hill and Staff Will Attend
Two Receptions Soon.

| State Libra rian Carver has just re-
ceived Il valuable addition to his col
lection of ancient books. 1t is a small
bound book, much defaced and time
worn. 1t is entitled The Sisters Gift.
! or The Naughty Boy reformed" and
was published in Halloweli in 1909 by
n. Cheever for F.. Goodale. 1t is stated
that it is published for the advantage
of the rising generation and is Hits
| trated with diminutive wood cuts Of
old-fashioned design. One represents
a dog with tin can tied 10 his tail
being chased by the bau boy. Another
is OF the same boy standing on a
church steeple and throwing off Il cat
Pussy has two bladders attached 70
her, the lad evidently being engaged in
an effort to test her flying capacity.
Another interesting literary relic re-
Gently secured by Mr.. Carver, is n copy
OF small newspaper published more
than 100 yeats ago, lie found il at
rEmmage sale and prrcila sed il for the
State library. The paper is called the
"Castine Journal and the Eastern Ad-
vertiser." ard Of the date Of Weines-
day. May 8. 1899. 1t contains a copy of
the first bill introduced into the Leg
islature of Massachusetts, providing for
the establishment Of the District of
Maine as a separate and independent
state by the name of the State Of
Mavoshen. the old Indian name Of this
territory.
The State librarian is mailing type
written inquiries to the various free
public libraries of the State to ascer-
tain if they contain copies OF the Maine
Historical Society papers and the York
deeds. lie also asks them if they have
any copies of the adjuiant generals re-
ports for the years iS6l-66. inclusive.
Mr.. Carver is also endcavoring to
create q sentiment among the library
people for The collection and preserva-
ton of information concerning matters
If local history. IN line with this ef-
fort he asks the following questions in
his circulars; Has Your library made
any collection of local history: Do you
keep and preserve files Of local news
paprea? DC you keep clippings from
newspapers concerning events in your
town..
He proposes in the future to supply
the libraries with copies of the Histor-
cal ,Soeiety's publications. but at the
same time hopes that the society will
receive valuable aid from librarians or
others Interested in the libraries in the
collection of historical matter. Mr..
Carver will also furnish the libraries
with the York deeds, of which the
state receives Geo copies as they are
published, and pays for them.

THE CONFEDERATE RE-
UNION, DALLAS, IN APRIL.

The Confederate Veterans
who go to the Annual Reunion at
Dallas in April via the Queen &
Crescent Route will be able to
see at the crossing of Pearl River
in the eastern outskirts of Jack
son, Miss, relic of the late war.
The Railroad Bridge which in
1863 spanned the river at that
point was destroyed by order of
General T. S. Grant; the piers of
masonry were shot down to foot
from tbs surface of the water.
Afterward, the Railroad Co. then
known as the Southern Railroad
built a wooden bridge at this
point supported partially by
piles and partially by timbers
supported by the remains of the
old Brick Piers.
This wooden bridge has just
been replaced by firm steel
structure few feet to the north
of the old bridge.
The remains of the old Piers
are still in existence, however, and
mark one of the many points of
interest to the Veteran travelling
through Mississippi.
This railroad now known as the
Alabama & Vicksburg Ry. Ga
part of the Queen & Crescent
SYSTEM having been in existence
at the time of the war. The
country through which it runs
was nearly all fighting ground.
