LECTURE BY HON q. K. BIRDsEYl
FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE VIEWPOINT
 LIBRARY.


 Hon G. K. Birdseye of Bridgeport will give his lecture, ''The Messenger and the Martyr of the Revolution,' at the Beach Memorial Library Building on Monday evening, February 10, at 8 o'clock. As it is for the benefit of the library and MT Birdseye IS an enter taining and able lecturer, large audi ence should be present. The Bridge port Post in speaking of MT Birdseye, said: '"The announcement that Hon G. K. Birdseye would repeat his lec- ture on Paul Revere attracted a large and intelligent audience. 1t was a splendid lecture, not only highly en- tertaining, but instructive as we'll. The subject is we'll calculated to stir those of sluggish blood, for one could hardly repress cheer as they seemed to see Revere and his gallant steed sweeping on toward Lexington. It is needless to say that the audience was greatly interested and delighted.

The people in Newtown Street and ed interest in the Winter course of lectures which the clergymen have given. Once or twice the weather has been decidedly against any large mum. bers coming out, but generally the at- tendance has been encouraging. The last lecture of the season for Newtown Street is to be given in the Beach Memorial Library on Tuesday evening, February 4, at 8 o'clock, by Rev Otis W. Barker. The subject, "Our First Immigrant" takes one back to the days when the invention of gunpowder, the use of movable types, the broaden ing of astronomy into science made for mankind new heavens and a new earth. MT Barker would especially urge the young people to attend the lecture, for it deals with history of which they already know something, and has been prepared to fit into their thought and life.

ROBERT B. LEAVENWORTH' $ FATAL
 ACCIDENT ON ST CONAN STREET.

Robert B. Leavenworth, a carpenter, was almost instantly killed January 17. by falling from a new building on which he was working in the rear of No. 112 St Roman street, New Haven. He was working alone on the cornice on one side of the building when he lost his balance and fell. He was seen by other workman just as he struck l the ground, and they hastened to his assistance. They found, however, that he was unconscious and he died almost immediately. He had landed on pile of loose bricks, and an in- vestigation showed that his skull had been fractured. After an eXamina- tion by Medical Examiner Bartlett the remains were removed to the un- dertaking rooms of Lewis & Maycock:: The unfortunate man was about 70
 years of age and was a carpenter by
 trade. He was a single man and

Skowhegan, Me


Dear Sir: Lead and oil is no longer
the paint to be prosperous with.
AS everybody knows, lead and oil
ohalks or powders off in about three
years-three years is the limit.
Painters are putting little zinc in
their lead to make it fought lasts "A
good three years with little zinc.
But painters don't like the job of mix
ing zinc. It's tedious job, and, both
being white, nobody knows when the
mixing is thorough. 1t gets half mixed
and the paint goes on, streak of lead
and a streak of zinc. That is not good
work.
The mistake made is in trying to dc
by hand what is better done by machine
ry. Hand-work can't compete with
machine. work.
Devoe lead and zinc is your paint. II
wears twice as long as lead and oil.
This reduces the cost of keeping q
house well painted to half.
Yours truly,

County Commissioners Court.

The March session OF the court OF
County Commissioners began at the
Court House, Tuesday, is proving to be
busy term and will be likely to ad-
journ this, Thursday, afternoon.
Tuesday, an unexpected phase of a
much considered road case came up,
The road in question is located in Starks
and Arson, mostly in Starks. A high
/ way something over three miles long
was laid out on the petition of Mr..
/ Thompson and others in the year 1898.
Quite an opposition to the opening OF
the way developed and an appeal was
i taken from the action of the County
] Commissioners TO the supreme court.
The court appointed Hon. Hiram Moore,
Hon. a. J. Libby and w. r. Jordan,
ESQ, Il committee to investigate the
matter They did so and reported sus-
] tanning the action Of the County Com
missioners. In 1901 tue scfectmen Of
Starks in behalf of the town petitioned
to the County Commissioners for dis
continuance of the road but the petition
was not granted. The friends Of IN
proposed road rallied at the town meet
ing on Monday last and voted the sum
of 81 800 to build it and it is understood
elected board of selectmeD in favor
thereof. This, one would think would
be satisfactory to the friends of the pro-
iect, but it appears it is not entirely so.
They appeared before the Commission
ers with l.. l.. Walton, Esq, as counsel
asking that an agent be appointed to
open the road. This the selectmen OPP
posed, stating that they were ready TO
! 90 ahead and build the road and will do
| so lust as soon as the road building sea.
son arrives. The selectmen also en-
ployed Geo. W. Cover, Esq, to take
care of the legal features of the case for
the town.
After patient hearing the Commits
siOners decided that they would suspend
action on the case until June 3D., when,
| il the town has not made satisfactory
progress in the building of the road they
will appoint an agent to open the road
In the meantime the town of Arson has
taken no action looking to the building
of the short piece of the proposed way
in that town, and an agent will have to
be appointed in due time unless that
town moves very early.
June 9Th next has been designated for
a Joint hearing of the commissioners of
Somerset and Piseatsquis counties on a
petition presented at the present term
for the laying out Of county road in
May field in this county aud in Kings
bury in Piscataquis county. II is a
short piece of road to accommodate GER
tain settlers and the building Of this
short piece will render unnecessary a
much larger piece of old road that has
been discontinued. The hearing will be
held at the Pond House, Kingsbury.
The Commissioners have all been pres
ent during the session and have been
busy in the examining of accounts and
/ the transaction of general routine bust
ness. An adjourned session of the Com
missioners will be held April 20. May
lst hearing will be given on applca-
tion of the selectmen of Athens for the
designation of state road in that town.
