In his valedictoly he expressed the regret

Belfast High School and thanked the school
board, superintendent and teachers for the
advantages given and interest taken in the
welfare of the pupils. For the members of
the other classes he had words of regard
for the pleasant relations of the past. With
encouragement and good wishes for the

When, cold and dark the storm clouds gather
And flercely the driving rain

We know they will live again;
So, when lifes cares o'erwhelm us,
And we sink in our hopeless grief
Quickly our lost ambitions
Arise from their Slumbers brief
Tonight, as we look toward the future
TO youthful eyes, so fair,
Our lofty aspirations
Clean in wondrOus colors there:
But we catch no glimpse of the sorrows,
Nor the trials that come to all,
Nor the mountains, steep and rugged
Where often the strongest fall
let Wen ever press onward and upward
And with earnest hearts and true
We turn our eager faces

though long the struggle and drear

tlons, both as regards the nation and the
State. AS regards national questions. tho
belief of the party in protection is reattirm-
ed, the gold standard is endorsed, regula-
tlon OF monopolies advocated, aid for shin
ping recommended and the foreign no1icias
of the administration warmly annroved
The planks relating to State matters which
VIII attract attention are the one relating to
prohibition, which is much stronger than
for many years past, demanding the con-
tlnuance OF the law and it's enforcement
and that recommending the enactment of a
law to regulate the primaries.
Then the Secretary of the Treasury. Les
lie NJ. Shaw of Iowa, who had occupied a
seat on the platform during the proceed
ings, was called upon and as he rose TO
speak was given a rouSing reception, Mr.
Shaw, although new Englantler by birth. is
in appearance and manner westerner of
the A braham Lincoln type and he at once
won the attention of his audience and held
it to the close of his remarks. This speech,
like theothers which preceded it, was free
from rant and eXaggeration. 1t was the
utterance of man with the courage of his
convictions speaking from full knowledge,
and he reused the enthusiasm of the conven-
ton to a high pitch.
The presence of four candidates for the
Gubernatorial nomination in 1904 created
some interest outside of the convention.
They were William T. Cobb of Rockland,
Joseph H, Manley and P 0. Vickery of
Augusta and Charles II. Prescott of Bidde-
ford. Col. Prescott is perhaps not SO well
known in this section as the others, but is a
young man of decided ability and promise,
and will be heard from later. He served on
the staff of Gov. Cleaves, hence his title

Closing of the Public Schools.

The public schools of Belfast closed for
special exercises were held, but the work in
the regular studies of the school showed
the advances made in methods, especially
in reading and number work. The number
work in the four lower grades is new sys-
tenn designed by Superintendent John r.
Dunton, and he is to carry the system along
as the scholars advance to the higher grades.
The teachers are enthusiastic in favor of
the new method, and the parents and older
friends of the pupils who have seen the sys-
TEN in use pronounce it great improve
ment over the methods of their school days.
The school rooms were all very prettly
decorated, the scholars showing fine taste in
the arrangement of the pictures, flowers,
etc. The graduating class Of the Upper
Grammar school has adopted for a motto
''Step by Step and it was displayed in
neat letters in the front of the school room.
The attendance in some of the schools
was interfered with by sickness. Mrs. Hall
and Miss Mason were obliged to be out
more or less during the year, and the
mumps kept away number of pupils for
several weeks.

The Shoe Situation.

Eastern shoe shops have received a little
more business for fall delivery, although
jobbers are not placing contracts as far
ahead as usual, and there is a tendency to
prefer the cheaper grades, Meanwhile re-
tailers are busy, especially at the West,
and locally there is brisk demand for chill
dren's footwear. No change of Importance
has occurred in leather. Heavy stock sells
freely, glazed kid is in better demand and
betting butts are scarce Hides are again
strong, with Texas steers leading the mar
ket, and foreign dry hides do not yield to
lower bids.-Dun's Review June 14Lh.

The convention was fortunate in its pre-
siding officer, Hon, Warren P. Noble of
Phillips. His speech on taking the chair
was model one, timely delivered, and he
presided with dignity and the ease of a
veteran parliamentarao. Extracts from his
speech are given in other columns. Leslie
{. Cornish of Augusta made the principal
nominating speech and it was worthy of his
reputation as one of the most eloquent men
in Maine. Richard Webb, Esq, of Portland
Forrest Goodwin, Esq, of Skowhegan, and
George H. Smith, ESQ.,, of Caribou, second
ed the nomination in stirring speeches. Mr..
Goodwin spoke from the balcony in the rear
of the hall and moved the convention to
high pitch of enthusiasm. Among other
things he said:
Republican convention is an inspiration
always and everywhere: and this conven-
ton of the stalWart Republicans of the State
of Maine. assembled for the purpose of re-
nominating our present Governor, united,
enthusiastic and confident, composed of del
egateS representing a constituency as in
telllgent and patriotic as can be found
within the Union, is in every way worthy
of our splendid candidate and our glorious
cause

acclamation amid tremendous enthusiasm
and his appearance soon after upon the
platform was the signal for a grand ovation.
An extract from Gov. H.''s speech of ac-
ceptance is given elsewhere, and we quote
here the closing paragraphs:
1t is a great honor, Mr.. Chairman, to be
the chief executive of such State as Maine
"a State with as proud and noble record
as any in this glorious Union-and my
greatest ambition and desire is to so admin
lister the duties of that position as to merit
the approval and endorsement of every good
citizen.

which you have reposed in me, and to ex-
press my appreciation of the loyal support

my official duties

few outsiders present Portland's large city

Oh, weep not for Raymond, sweet Raymond

Around him are gathered Gods Angels Of Love;
safe, safe In yon Heaven, where all Is so fair,
Our Raymond, our beautiful Raymond is there,
No more shall he suffer, for all this is past,
| No .pestience there spreads its wings to the
blast,
No cord Of affection is severed In twain,
| No flower lies bleeding and dying in pain.
He lives and rejoices in beauty so bright,
Could mortals behold him, 'twould dazzle their
sight;
He lives and rejoices, o shed not a tear,
Though Raymond, dear Raymond, no longer il
here.
No longer in body and yet he will come
On pintons of light to his dear earthly home,
And whisper OF peace and happiness given
To Gods loving children forever In Heaven
