the weather was so pleasant and the
productions SO intensely interesting
that it seemed scarcely aeeting time

Every number of the program was
executed with ease, grace and beauty
There was no confusion or lack Of
self-possession.

The stage was very beautifully and
artistically, yet modestly decorated.
Just before the time for the Begin

inland formed a semi-clrcle at the rear
ofthe stage; after these came the two
graduates who occupied places on OPP
poslte sides of the stage in front Of the
other students.
The rendering Of the program re-
flected great credit upon all who took
part. The Grafton Of James Alton

was the very eloquent and scholarly
address Of Rev. LIE. Peters, using as
his, subject, sThe Ultimate Aim of

truth will necessarily come In the
closest harmony with God. Rev. Peters
treated his subject under three heads
or divisions. The study of Nature, the
study of Man and the study of Revela-
,ien. The speaker reminded the
graduates that rhe, are now to f'egin
to make an independent research and
study which means commencement
Of work and not Of leisure.
"The happiest person in all the

The address was perfect gem from

LOSS HEAVY.
Summer Hotel and Cottages al
Drant Rock Destroyed by Fire.

Brant Rock, Mass. Feb. oi-The
Churchill hotel. one Of the largest and
best known summer resorts on the south
shore was burned early this morning and
the fire spread TO the Pioneer cottage,
next To the hotel. and that also was de-
stroyed. The Camera cottage, another
adjacent structure. was blown up by the
nre wardens TO prevent further progress
OF the flames. The total loss Is placed
at $1,000
The fire started about a. m on the
second story OF the hotel. Lessee r.. a.
Pinkham and friends had come TO the ho-
were asleep I'm the building, but they es-
capped.
As the hotel is one OF 20 rooms occu-
pying a prominent position I'm the village,
surrounding property was i'm great dan
ger and the citizens attribute their es-
cape from much more serious loss TO
the fact that there was no wind. Seeing
that the Pioneer cottage could not escape,
IL was deemed best to demolish the Cam
era cottage in the hope of preventing fur
ther spread OF the flames and II was
blown up. The plan succeeded and fur
ther loss was prevented.
The hotel loss is estimated at $4,000 and
Is covered by insurance. DIR. A. T. David
son Of Dorchester Is the owner. The loss
on the other property is placed a $1,000
gated. as this was the fourth fire I'm five
years to occur under almost Identical cir
cumstances. In each case the buildings
were closed for the season, the landlord
came down for day or so and the place
caught fire.

Court Clerk Failed to Keep
Proper Record Of CASES.

Wiscasset Me-, Feb. 2i.-The bondsmen
Of Frank A. Creamer. a former clerk of
courts for this Uincoln) county, will be
called upon to reimburse the county in the
sum OF $500. which IL is estimated must
be expended by the county TO put in
proper shape the records of the supreme
judicial court during Cramer's terms as
clerk
During an incumbency of about nine
years he completed the records of only
one term of the court, that Of April. 1884,
leaving the proceedings for lG terms un-
recorded except in memoranda. Upon the
matter being called to the attention OF the
presiding justice OF the October term of
last year the court directed the present
clerk. Charles l.. Macurda. Crcamer's sue
cessor, to have the unfinished work com
pleted and draw upon the county treas
ury for his pay.
Mr. Macurds has brought the records
down 10 the October term of 1898 and his
bill OF s4OO has been paid as directed by
the court II Is thought that about sllOO
more must be expended to complete the
work The bondsmen for Creamers APP
polntive terms. II is believed, will be
obliged to reimburse the county for the
500 already expended.
As there is some question as TO the
legalityeof the bonds covering the period
between 1898 and the time Creamer re-
signed however. II Is considered doubtful
II the county can recover the additional
sll00 which must be expended TO com
plete the records.
Frank A. Creamer was appointed clerk
OF courts by Governor Burleigh I'm 1890.
20 succeed Geroge u. Hobson, resigned.
He was elected I'm 1897 for the full term
of four years. and reelected In 1S9S. lie
