Mrs. NJ. B. Rumrill of Central street,

The article reads:
1.-THE dedication of a monument and the
finding OF a long-lost brother seem 10 be
things far apart. But it was the dedica-
ton Of the soldiers monument at Wake

who had lost track of each other for near

"The brother in question is Charles A.

The sister is Mrs. Irene Z. Rumrll OF
Randolph, VT.
AOn the death of their father, Horace
Hilton, in 1854, at Epping, y. H., the
five children were separated, and went
to live in different families. The eldest
child was but nine years OF age. The
mother died in 1868.

The second baseball game of the sea-
son was played on the campus last
Thursday with Bates college, and re-
suited in an easy victory for Bates by a
score of co. The weather was good
and large number of spectators were
present. In the first two innings neither
side scored, but in the third inning Par
sons singled and stole second. The next
two men famed, but Moody singled and
Parsons scored. Moody also scored on
an error and wild throw to third. In
Middlebury's half, Wilson singled, but
was caught mapping at first and thrown
out, and the side was easily retired. In
the sixth inning Bates secured four more
runs on two hits and six errors, Middle
bury failed to get man past second
base until the ninth, when hit
by Wilds and an error by Bates
brought McCuen 10 third, but he could
get no farther. The playing of Bates
was excellent. Doe pitched fine ball,
striking out seven men and allowing no
bases on balls. Middlebury, however,
made eight errors and thus lost the
game. Although the varsity secured
more hits than Bates, they were so well
scattered that in no inning was there
two made, and with the excellent sup.
port given by the Bates teams no runs
were made. Drake played an excellent
game, both in the pitchers box and at
the bat. The score by innings follows ::
