Walter l.. Gray, who retired from the
position of superintendent of schools
this year after serving four years, was
given one of the pleasantest surprises OF
his life last Monday evening. Being
notified by telephone that his presence
at his office was desired, he made his
way there only to find that the Office
had been surreptitiOusly entered and
was filled with the school teachers OF the
town. In behalf of the company, Mr..
Towne, the supplying principal OF the
high school, presented MIR. Gray with
ring set with a handsome Mount Mica
tourmaline. Mr.. Gray was entirely sur
priSed and considerably affected, but
expressed his appreciation of the testi-
mOnial gracefully. To say that he is
pleased with it is putting it mildly. He
values it at not less than 81,
fire alarm at about $40 Saturday
morning made things lively in Market
Square for while. The fire was in the
meat market of l.. X. Cole, which was
densely packed with smoke, and blaze
broke out before the water was put on.
When the hose company arrived, a
stream quickly disposed of it. The fire
was in the back room, and had burned
two holes in the floor, destroyed a
bench, and burned some in the cellar.
The damage is not large. Some are OF
the opinion that it caught from the
stove, near which the holes in the floor
are, but Mr.. Cole says there had been no
fire in the stove for nearly twenty-four
hours, and he thinks it burned up
through from the cellar, which is open.
Evidently it had been smOuldering a
long time, and it is fortunate it broke
out when it did rather than in the mid.
die of the night, as it is in the midst OF
NEST of wooden buildings.

acquaintance with Mr.. Ludden, while
speaking of him as in many ways dia-
mond in the rough, testified to his many
excellent qualities as lawyer and a
man.
Hon. James S. Wright spoke par
ticularly of that quality in Mr.. Ludden
which is commonly known as "horse
sense" and his remarkable faculty for
applying that sense in arraying his facts
before jury in a telling manner.
Mr.. Bisbee said briefly, in regard to
John c. Swasey, that he had learned
from his acquaintance with him, that
Mr.. Swasey had the capacity, had he
devoted himself exclusively to the law
to take leading rank at this bar.
| RESPONSE By THE COURT.
Judge Peabody said:
1t was not my privilege to have known
these deceased brethren of the bar pro
fessionally, or to have enjoyed theil
personal friendship, but l have heard
them praised as men of honorable live,
and good deeds.
Carlyle said of friend who had died
"He took mans life with him." Ant
SO it is that the death of a good man
whether it be in the bloom of youth o.
in the maturity of years, is calamity
an irreparable loss, not only to his famil.
and kindred but to the community IL
which he lived.
This custom of the bar to ASSEMBLE
and to recall the words, the acts an
personal traits of their associates, who's
presence is lost to sight, and to presen
them like moving pictures, to be cher
ished in affectionate remembrance,
grateful and helpful. Your tributes t
, the memory of your departed brethre
meet my approval, and I fully symps
. thize with you in your sorrow and you
, loss. The resolutions which have bee
presented meet the approval of th
court, and they may be entered
record, and as a further recognition
: the worth of these deceased brethre
, and as token of respect to their men
Tory, the court will now adjourn.

"The Christian" Friday.

THE Christian" is an intensely inter-
esting play. and one cannot fail to ne
seized by the dramatic quality OF II,
whatever argument may be raised as
to it's ethics. 1t is strong-acting
piece and thoroughly we'll acted, IN
that respect indeed it has been very
seldom that a work which has had SO
much advertisement has been con-
sidered worth the investment OF
money in able actors and actresses.
Much can be said about it. judged as a
religious drama, but the fact Is that
the religious side of it is dramatically
impressive, and it arOuses no argu-
ment as to propriety, for Mr.. came
uses his minister to attack vicious
class. "The Christian" has the merit
not common of late in plays. or lekvlns

KICKER WINS FROM c0BURN.
Well Played Game in Which Aroostcok
BOYS Get Seven Points.

Coburn and Kicker met on the Col
lege grounds, Monday afternoon, and
fought out a hard game of football,
Kicker winning, to Q. On the kick off
McCorkle sent the ball down to Rick
er's 15-yard line. Hammond advanced
the ball q. yards. On the next forma-
ton Kicker fumbled and Co1urn got
the ball, but after advancing it about
seven yards, lost it on downs. On
Ricker's first attempt to advance the
ball Gilman made pretty tackle for a
loss to Kicker, but Kicker made her
distance and soon after the ball was
given to Oliver. who made a 30-yard
run around left end. His interference
was beautiful. This was followed by
another run of 40 yards by Hammond
around the other end. This was not
the only pretty play that Ricker's right
halfback made, for he was in almost
every play and repeatedly made gains
when given the ball. Another short
gain was made and then another run Of
20 yards. Ricker's left half was given
the ball and fell. On tackle back for
nation no gam was made.
The ball went to Coburn who adj
1anced it down the field by several
short gains in which Whitaker was
conspicuous. but at last lost it. Kicker
got the ball on downs and Hammond
made a 20-yard run for a touchdown.
No goal. Score: Kicker 5: Coburn, 0.
ON the kickoff McCorkle kicked over
the lire. Kicker kicked from the %
yard line and the ball was advanced 10
yards by COburn. Coburn could not

ton let the ball slip through his hands
and Whitaker got it. On The line up
Whitaker broke through the line for
20 yards. Time was called with the
ball on Ricker's 20-yard line.
Both teams went into the second half
with the same lineup as in the first. In
this half the most noticeable plays
were where COburn tried to punt but
the ball was blocked. In this half Ham,
mOnd made another run of so yards
around right end. The ball was worked
down to within two yards Of Coburn'S
line where Coburn Draced and held. On
;;n attempted fake kick Kicker broke
through and a safety was secured. CIV
ing Kicker two points and making the
score: Kicker, I: Coburn, g. Coburn
kicked down the field about 20 yards
from her 25-yard line. From this time
Coburn die not get :he ball again. 1t
was gradually worked down the ED
until time was called with it about 6
inches from the line.
1t was an interesting game to watch.
There was little fumbling and the play
ing was clean from start to finish.
Hammond was the bright and shining
star of the Kicker team and Whit
takers paying for Coburn was OF a
high order.

judge cost him S. and costs which he
paid. Others who We're fined s. and

not pay he was committed. While

was released upon payment of costs.
