1t wasn't a very quiet Sunday on the
street. as everyone was attracted down
town by the decorations and many stran-
gers were in for the same purpose.
One Of the most original decorations on
Main street Is that of the Waterville BIZ
Gle Club, consisting Of the monogram 0:
the club done in its culors and illuminat-
ed by electric lights. At night the effect
is very pleasing.
Six cars were necessary to accommo-
date the patrons of the Waterville & Fair
field road, Sunday. and during the after
noon every car was crowded. The four
wheel cars were run in pairs opposite to
the big eight-wheelers.

The BaccaIaureate.

Inc Baccalaureate sermon of PreSi-
dent c. L. White of Colby College was
delivered, today, in the Elm Street
Baptist church. The audience room
was filed by the student body and the
visiting commencement guests of the
college. The interior decorations were
beautiful the college colors predomi-
mating.
President White took for his text l.
Timothy, iii:16: And without contro-
Versy great is the mystery of godli-
ness. He was manifested in the flesh,
justified in the spirit, seen of angels,
preached among the nations, believed
on in the world, received up in glory"
He said in part: st. Paul, an expert
in both the Jewish and Christian re-
ligious systems, and Timothy, to whom
he addressed these words, had clear
spiritual conceptions. The Jews held
the truth in type and prophecy. but it
is very evident that they completely
miSinterpreted its meaning, for when
Christ appeared among men they quite
misunderstood His life and words. I'm
til Jesus himself interpreted the Scrip
lures, Gods plan Of salvation was a
great mystery. He was manifested in
the flesh. This refers to a life previous
to the manifestation, for there must
have been someone to be manifested.
Speaking of Christ. st. John said:
And the Word became flesh and dweIt
among us and we beheld His glory
The incarnation was established as
a fact. That He was justified in the
spirit seems to mean that the Holy
Spirit fully justifies Christ's claim.
The miracles Of our Lord surely prove
Him to have been a prophet, but His
resurrection places the seal of God
upon His claim of oneness with the
Father. What reception did He meet?
He was seen of angels. He was be
heved on in the world. He was re-
ceived up into glory

GILMAN ESTATE.
Settlement Effected Among the
Full Blood Heirs.
Hartford Given 0ne-Third of the Tea
Business, or 100000.
Mrs. Hall and George Smith Probably
Have Good Slices.

New York, June o. William Pink
ney Hamilton, Jr., counsel for some OF
the full blood heirs of the late George
Francis Gilman said, yesterday, that
an agreement for settlement had been
signed by all the heirs. those of the full
blood as well as those of the half blood.
and that it was expected there would
be division of the estate about Christ
mas. The estate has been estimated for
the purpose of settlement at $4,000, 600
Mr.. Gilman's tea business is estimat-
ed at $2,1OO,00O, although some of the
half dozen law firms interested in the
litigation over the estate have believed
that the value of the tea business was
about $1,000, 900.
The tea business has been incorpora-
ted in the settlement, and stock for
50, 100000 is to be issued-$1, 400, 900 in
preferred stock, for division among the
heirs, and 100000 in common stock,
which is to so to George II. Hartford,
the manager of the business.
Mr.. Hartford contended that he was
a partner with Mr.. Gilman in the bust
ness and was entitled to one half of all
the profits. He has agreed to the set
tTement in which he receives one third
of the stock, and he is to be continued
as the manager.
The suits brought by Mrs. Helen
Potts Hall, who was with Mr.. Gilman
at the time of his death, nearly two
years ago, at Black Rock, near Bridge
port, Conn.,, are to be disposed of in a
few months, the lawyers say. Mr.
Hamilton said. yesterday, that there
was no real basis for her contention
that the entire estate was given to her
before Mr.. Gilman died. She is expect
ed to get nothing in the settlement, but
the lawyers say she probably did not
leave the Bridgeport place empty
handed.
George Smith of Bridgeport, who liv-
ed with Mr.. Gilman for some time pre-
vious to the death of the eccentric tea
merchant, has made claim which has
been referred to Hamilton Odell. From
the testimony already taken in that
case. the lawyers believe that Smith
claim will be cut down considerably
but that he will receive something in
the settlement.

made by the Toronto Street Railway to
