languages. He was somewhere IN
America, they thought at Colby Col
LOGO His name was Hedman. The
agency tried in every way to secure
him. but the college trustees succeeded
in keeping him. President White then
mentioned the long and conspicuous
service of Judge Bonney as treasurer
He then spoke of the needs of the col
lepe The greatest need now and in
tho past is money, but he believed that
the time would come when she would
he able to get all she wanted. In the
past seven months without the slgnt-
est curtailment of the work OF the col
lege, s42O0 about half of the usuai
amount, had been found sufficient for
the expenses. Pres. White believed that
in spite of the $4,000 which came over
from the previous year, the $1O.1O0 ap-
propriated for this year would be suffl-
cient and that there would be no de-
felt. He said that in addition to this
II new courses would be added next
year. These would be new courses in
Italian and Spanish, two in English,
two in economics and history, five in
physics and six in chemistry.
Pres White in closing said that if he
We're to spell Colby it would be as fol-
lows: c for Christian ideals, criticism
and conservatism; o for optimism; l.
for loyalty; B for beneficence, and Y
for yoke fellows.
The president was given an ovation
at the completion of his speech.
S. S. Brown of class of '5S, was the
next speaker. In his own characters
tic style he scored athletics and some
of the other modern methods which he
termed fOolishness. The hearty, honest
way with which he went at it caused
much amusement. He suggested that
the Colby Club should start a move
ment among the alumni for raising
funds for one professor who they
could call their own. He would like
to see this a professor of Greek, but
it might well be any other that was
needed.
Leslie c. Cornish, rs, was the last
speaker. He answered the criticisms
of athletics in the same spirit in which
| they had been made, saying that the
truest type of the modern athlete was
Theodore Roosevelt. The Presidents
! name was vigorously applauded. Mr..
Cornish also answered the criticism
that Greek was being ignored in the
college course. He thought that other
studies as valuable could be substi-
tuted for this, but without driving it
from the curriculum. He believed that
the question of money should not be
touched by the club, but that it should
be a purely fraternal and Colby or
ganization. He believed that it's truest
work was to make the younger gradu-
ates acquainted with the Colby men
and their work in the past. In clos
ing he paid very neat compliment to
Pres. White.
With the college yell and three
rousing cheers for Pres. White the
banquet was ended.

young fellows stayed away. About 20
of the elders were present, mostly ma
val officers. Three bowls of punch were
mixed. The prince proposed THE Unit

the chorus of "Hochs."
In bunch of newspaper clippings
that came to the prince. this morning,
from Berlin, was one which described
the "Hohenzollern Punch" invented by
a Broadway bartender. On the margin

Admiral Baudissin Becoming Ac.
quainted With New York..

New York, Feb. 14.-AdmiraI Won
Baudissin, commander of the German
imperial yacht Hohenzollern, was kept
busy, today, receiving and returning
calls. In the morning, he CALLED upon
Mayor Adolph Tanker of Hoboken.
The mayor will return the call, tomor-
row afternoon. Major Gen. Brooke,
commanding the department of the
east, called on Admiral Baudissin
shortly before noon.
At o'clock, this afternoon, Ad-
mral Barker. of the Brooklyn navy
yard, returned the call the admiral
made, yesterday. The German, in
citizens attire, made a call on sew
eral New York families. Tonight, he
was the guest at dinner of his brother
in-Mw. Alfred c. Robinson of this city.
The mayor of New York visited the
Hohenzollern. late in the afternoon,
but the commander was absent.
About o'clock, the admiral ac-
companied by his brother-in-law and
six members of the family, were
driven to the Broadway Theatre,
where they saw performance Of
THE Beauty and the Beast"

WATERVILLE.
THE COLBY CLUB.
First Banquet Held, Friday Evening,
An Unqualified Success.

The first banquet of the recently or
ganized Colby Club which was held at
the Elmwcod, last evening, was an I'M
qualified success. There were about 40
present, mostly from the graduates and
former students now residing in the
city. but with a good sprinkling of 9TH
ers from all over the State. Nearly ev-
cry class from 81 to 'O1 was represent
ed. A. A. Plaisted Of the class of 81
was the Oldest graduate present, with
S s. Brown Of the class Of '5S close
second.
4 reception was held in the parlors
from to 9 o'clock, DR.. F. c. Thayer,
f. r. Wyman and J. E. Nelson receiv-
ing. The banquet was served at 9
o'clock in the dining room. After the
menu had been sufficiently discussed
the cigars were lighted for the speeches.
Rev. E. c. WhittemOre, president of the
club, acted as POSTMASTER. He made
a brief speech of Introduction, telling
some neat little stories and describing
the club and its purposes.
He introduced as the first speaker,
President White Of Colby, who was
met with a perfect storm of applause
that prevented him from speaking for
some time. He spoke Of four of the
former presidents of the college whom
he had known. He said that when he
first came to Waterville he was inn
pressed with the devotion and loyalty
of the faculty and Of the college spirit
among the students. He said that he
was now able to pick out a Colby man
among college men anywhere. He then
ted how Prof. Hedman received his re-
cent promotion. One Of the largest in
stitutions of the country desired q
teacher of modern languages. They ap-
piled to the largest teachers agency
which in turn applied to the Univer-
sity of Paris. They were told that
there was one man in America who
would meet their requirements. That
man. they said, was the best who had
ever come there from America for the

The purse has not been fully decided
upon, but it will surely be as large, if
not larger, than in the previous races.
The horses will be started down
river and race half mile, finishing di-
rectly opposite the city proper. This
will be greatly appreciated by the
business men who cannot leave their
stores, as they will be able to see from
their back windows, the finish Of the
race.
These races have created great
deal of interest in all three cities, and
because of this Mr.. Walker has gone
to considerable trouble in getting
them up. The only returns from them
is the satisfaction of seeing some
good sport, no money being necessary
to witness, or to enter the horses. If
the day is not clear or anything hap
pens to stop the racing, 1t will be
postponed to the very next fair day.

RUSSIA NOT WORRIED.
Probably Knew About Alliance and
Made No Objections.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-THE censor
pigeon-holed for time the text Of the
Arglo-Japanese treaty and the news
papers, yesterday evening, were only
permitted to publish it without COM
ment. From the few editorials on the
subject in this mornings papers it
might be gathered that Russia was q
party to both the preliminary negotia-
lions and the treaty itself.
The Russian official view of the An
glo-Japanese treaty was communicated
to the correspondent of The Associated
Press as follows:
I'VE accept the news of the entente
with the most complete equanimity and
are very happy to ascertain that Eng
land and Japan are pledged to main
tain the integrity of China and the in
dependence of Corea, two principles
which Russia was the first to establish
as the basis of her foreign policy in the
Orient.
Russia would willingly have SUBJ
scribed to the agreements in the pre-
amble. The English-Japanese say
their convention has only essentially
pacific aims. This makes it all the
more astonishing when they speak Of
war and coalitions. What power they
nave in view we cannot say.
But. in any case, If peace Is men
aced in the extreme Orient, Russia, for
her part, will not fail to take all the
measures necessary to safeguard her
interests. All Russia's conventions with
Japan have aimed at the preservation
OF the integrity Of China and the inde-
pendence Of Corea and it Is true that
Minister Kurino came to us immedi-
ately to communicate the text Of the
agreement and give the most amicahle
assurances.
we have reason to believe it is not
true that America, with which we re-
main In perfect accord. is silent part
ner in the affair. We have given
America positive assurances that Rus
STA viii do nothing which will disturb
tne-interests Of America in China. We
40 not believe America is anxious about
tHe situation. Furthermore, we have
received satisfactory assurance that
america Is not taking any steps against
US in China"

There was a happy expression on the
faces of the little ones after their
schools closed, Friday afternoon. AT
about all the school rooms post Offices
were established, where valentines were
deposited for the scholars. This was
the closing exercises of the day. There
were very few who did not receive some
kind of a valentine and the one who
received the most was tn most envied
Of all. One little fellow was as proud
as ever a king, receiving 30 for his
share. Nor was he at all selfish, for to
each of two companions who had re-
ceived none, he gave one.

Next Wednesdays Races,

Cushman Walker has decided to
hold the next horse race, Wednesday
afternoon at o'clock. He hopes this
time that it will be a pleasant day,
as before both races were held in a
snow storm. This race will probably
be the best of the three, although both
the other two were considered very
good. Instead of having all the
horses in one class as before, there
will be two classes started, one for
trotters open to all, and one for PAGERS,
free for all. This will give the specta-
tors all the horse racing they want, as
there will be hardly any wait between
heats, for the classes will alternate.

HEAVY FIRE LOSSES
May Swamp Some Companies and Ad
vance All Rates.

New York, Feb. 14.-Discussing the
large number of destructive fires that
have occurred since the first of the
year. especially those at Waterbury
and Paterson, Bradstreets, tomorrow,
will say: There is, of course a gen.
eral feeling that the insurance COM
panies of the country have suffered a
series of bad blows which coming af-
ter several years of heavy losses are
bound to be reflected in further with
drawals of weakened companies, if, in
deed, general and heavy advance in
rates is not imminent" Bradstreet's
says that in January the fire loss was
greater than the total liabilities of
those Who failed in the United States.
