Names Steel Fleet.

One yard at least in New England is still
building steel ships-great square-rig.
gers-for the deep sea trade. 1t is the
celebrated Sewall yard at Bath, which
has launched in quick succession some
noble examples of marine architecture.
las, for the Standard oil company, slid
into the Kennebec on Saturday
After half a century of wooden ship
building, the Sewalls, eight years ago,
turned to steel, and in 1894 launched
their first steel ship, Drigo, They have
built a half dozen since then, all vessels
OF large tonnage and beautiful proper.
tiOns One of them, the " illiam Z. Frye,
named after the Maine senator; who is
the best friend of the American sailor
and the American ship, was launched a
few " eeks ago, and is now at sea on her
first voyage.
If it is asked how Maine builders have
been able to construct these vessels
without subsidies, it may be explained
that they are designed for a double SER
vice-fOI both the foreign and the coast
ing trade. If no foreign charters can be
these great square-riggers can
almost always lind chance in the trade
between New York and San francisco
or New York and Hawaii, for Hawaii is
now included in our coastlng laws.
This privilege is not equivalent to a
subsidy, but it has the result of protect
ing to limited exteut American ship.
building and shipowning If it had not
been for the coastwise privilege it is
quite likely that the Drigo and her sis.
lers would never have been built.
When Senator Frye's great shipping
bill is passed the Bath yard will doubt
less launch two or three vessels where
it now launches one. The courage and
perseverance which these Bath builders
manifest certainly entities them to some
protection and encouragement from the
nation whose flag they have kept at1oat
on the seas.

Where The Fault Lies.

Flirting is especially attributed to
girls, but girls would never think of
deceiving if they were not themselves
deceived. They certainly possess a
wondrous faculty for leading their
male friends on, but they only do it be.
cause they know it pleases them.
Young men are so concerted as to imag
inc that every girl must fall in love with
them, and so they tlirt upon every pos
sible occasion. Consequently the girls
amuse themselves by playing with this
conceit and appear 10 fall readily INTO
loves meshes
'Tis not the ladies only who make all
these pretty vows They listen atten-
lively probably, but tbs the men who do
the mischief in the first place at all
events.
Flirting originates therefore with the
male sex, and men should bear the blame,
If any be deserved, for an amusement
which is the only thing that makes an
evShiug party tolerable.

The Long Ago in Maine.

Mrs. C. d. Miller, in her words Of cor
dial welcome to Somerset Pomona Grange
at its annual meeting here, last week
alluded to the past in agriculture in
Maine and compared the methods and
the manner OF working and living Of
those days with the present, greatly to
the credit Of these years 10 the beginning
of the goth century.
We were particularly interested in a
story she related, CLEANED from the gen.
ealogical records of her husbands grand
father, pioneer in Maine one hundred
years ago:
at appears that he WAS born 10 l7s0
in Middleboro, Mass, was married in
1902, just one hundred years ago. They
removed to this State, came by packet
from Boston to Portland. having been
two weeks on the way. From Portland
they went TO Buckfeld From Buckfield
they travelled to Livermore on horseback,
finding their way by spotted trees, the
bride riding on pilllon behind her hus-
band. Here they cleared for themselves
farm, where they passed their days
A story is told of the bride, who
times longed for the scenes OF her child
hood. 1t was her custom evenings 10
sit in the doorway of the log cabin and
gaze steadily at the moon and stars. and
in this way gain some comfort, hoping
that the friends way off in Massachusetts
were looking at the same moon and stars.
One evening, after number Of years,
she was watching as WAS her custom.
when she heard a strange sound coming
nearer up through the woods. She
watched with eager eyes. and in a mo
ment there came into the opening Oh
horse shay, with a heavy trunk strapped
under the axle, drawn by tired looking
horse. She exclaimed. ut is my people, q"
and faiuted. Ii was the first convey2nt e
on wheels ever driven to the farm.
In 1916 the husband was elected rep
resentative to the general assembly Of
Massachusetts from the District OF
Maine. He drove to Boston, where il
was held, with his own horse and car
riage. The suit he wore was made Of
Merino wool, sheared from his owl
sheep, spun and woven in his own house.
and sent to Fayette to be colored darl
blue and pressed. And nov, if necess-
AIRY to go to Boston, ii would only TAXI
two or three days for the whole trip. Or
if time were precious, one from thi-
place could be conveyed by team
TO Watervile in the evening. TAX,
a comfortable bed and wake up refreshed
in Boston, have a long day for business
or pleasure, return the next night and
only lose one day.

The Agricultural Press.

NJ. z. p. Mayo OF Fairfield, a former
editor OF this paper, now runs An ayr.

appreciation Of that class OF papers be
yond that entertained by those who are
hot similarly situated
In brief address given before the
Somersc, Pomona Grange in this town,
last week, among other things he said

these high purposes, no matter in What
form they appear. =
just for Il moment let Us consider Hha.s
a community like that in which We i've
would be Ike il there were no agricul.
tursl papers.
Think Of living ard striving ia field
where there Was no means OF knowing
what others similarly employed were
doing only a. they told Us by word Of
mouth. You may say the local pspef
paper would tell US. Did they furul-h
you this information before the agricui-
tural papers began 10 broaden out and
encroach upon their fields? Not a bit Of
1t. Neither would they again if the spur
OF competition WAS removed. Think Of
planting and sowing, reaping and haf-
vestlng year after year, without being
able 10 exchange experiences with others
through the agricultural weekly paper.
The average good agricultural paper fur
nishes its readers information each year
that II has cost somebody to obtain from
original sources, more than the value Of
all the farms In this town. | am aware
that this is strong statement but | be-
lieVe it is true one. And vet we hear
men engaged in agricultural pursuits tell
us that they do not take or read q single
agricultural paper as they have not the
time. They surely have no time that
can be better employed. 1t is not that
the editor Of the agricultural paper
knows so much. Oh, no, for be ofteB
thinks after talking to some sO-c4lled
agriculturalsts that he does not know
much OF anything and is not at all Ger
tain of what he does know. No. that il
not it, but the editor has the most
practical and scientific writers and work
ers in the world TO draw intellectual
food from for his readers and ne would
be stupid indeed if he could not prepare
Il feast once week.
Yes, the agricultural press, while not
| all perhaps it should be, is one of the
most essential helps to agricultural ad-
Vsncement, and it deserves and should
have the hearty support of all who are
interested in the uplifting, advancement
and material wellbeng OF the community

Colby College.

AT the meeting of the trustees OF Col

Rev. G. f. Owen, the financial agent of
the college, made the gratifying an
nouncement that John D. Rockefeller
conditional offer of $l5, 900 had been met.
OF the sum of $4,000 now contributed
to the funds of the college, Mr.. Rookie.
feller's gift of $4,000 and S25 900 of
the sum raised by the graduates aud
friends OF Colby go to the general fund
of the college. In other words the sue
cess Of this movement adds $40, 900 to
the general fund of the college. The
rest Of the $75, 900 goes to other funds.
Judge Pereeval Bonney Of Portland,
after twenty-one years Of continuous
service as treasurer of the college. re-
signed and George X Boutelle, Esq,
president Of the Ticonic National Bank,
Waterville, WAS elected treasurer as
Judge Bonney's successor. Judge Bon
ney received the thanks Of the board for
his services.
On recommendation of the faculty and
in accordance with the rule at Harvard,
Brown, Amherst, Williams and other
prominent colleges, candidates for the
degree of A. B. after the present year
will not be required to take Greek, but
in place OF that study may take German
French and other college branches.
Measures were adopted looking to the
broadening OF the usefulness of the
scientific and language departments and
large extension of courses in these
Departments is to be offered.

Lloyd c. Dillingham;.


The people of St. Adams were greatly
shocked Tuesday morning, the l4th inst,
to learn that MIR. Lloyd c. Dillingham;,
one of the most prominent citizens in
that section, had committed suicide by
hanging. Nothing unusual had been
noticed in his actions lately and he had
been attending TO his business as usual
during the winter. He was at Skowhe-
gan that week attending court and a
case in which he was much interested
was to be brought up for trial. 1t is
thought that brooding over this affair
temporarily unbalanced his mind for a
time and led him to commit the rash act.
1t is said that he went to his father
farm, situated about mile from his
home, went into the barn and hung him
self with the small trip rope of the
horse fork. His son found him shortly
afterwards.
He was married and had family
which stands very high in st. Adams
and large amount of sympathy is ex-
tended to them at this time Mr.. Dill
ingham WAS 81 years OF age and was
