years her nephew, E. E. Carver, has taken
charge of the property and kindly cared for
her. She was kind and respected neigh
Dor, of genial disposition, loved by all who
knew her, and will be missed by large
circle of friends. She was unusually active
for one of her years, keen of intellect and
retained her faculties to the last; always
social, she enjoyed the society of old and
AoSS
three half sisterS-Mrs. Hunter Of Chicago,
Mrs. Woodward of Bangor and Mrs. Achorn
of Massachusetts. The funeral was held at
her late home Sunday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. H. 1. Holt She had prepared for
her death by selecting the text and hymns
The text was from the LNXlI1 Chapt. of
Psalms, 25th verse. The sermon from
XXI Uhapt Psalms 5th verse. Following
are the first stanzas of the two hymns sung
that were selected by her
The Lord my Shepherd is;
l shall be well supplied
Since He is mine and | am his,
What can l want beside?
There is land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures Danish pain.

An Interesting Story.

Bath Hears Maine Central Has BOug hit
Eastern s. 5. Lines.
BATH, February 2.-The report that
Charles w. Morse of New York, who was
instrumental in organizing the Eastern
Steamship Co., has sold out his stock in
this great combination of steamship lines,
is generally accepted as correct by Bath
citizens. 1t now seems to be generally un-
destOod that he has sold to the Maine C en-
trail and Boston & Maine railroads. This
seems to bear out the rumors circulated
nearly year ago that these railroads were
trying to effect deal whereby they could
get in control of these various steamship
lines as auxiliaries to their railroad bust
ness.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The outlook for school paper is at pres
ent very promising, More than a hundred
people have subscribed, and more thorough
canvass will doubtless result in the reQuir-
ed two hundred subscribers. The Z. of NJ.
campus, Colby "Echo" and Freedom
Academy echo" have been on the book
case for some little time, and subjected to
close examination. Miss Pearl Pierce Car
ter, formerly B. H. 5. '03, is editor-in-chief
of the latter. A committee Of twenty was
appointed last week to solicit subscriptions
for our proposed paper. Friends of the
school desiring to subscribe will confer a
favor by sending their names to Mr.. Frank
W. Twombly, chairman.
Owing to the absence of the editor there
were no High School Notes last week.
The Junior French class is reading Hal
vey's 'L'Abbe Constantin.
Miss Field has placed several very inter
esting books relating to Mary Stuart on the
bookcase, for the use of the English Liter
ature class.
The last meeting of the Literary Club
was an interesting one. 1t was principally
devoted to Bret Harte. Tomorrow, Friday
evening there will be a Shakespeare pro-
gram, consisting of selections from his
plays and papers bearing on his life, works
etc. The efforts of the entertainment com
mittee, of which Miss Morrison, 'O3, is chair
man, to make this evening an interesting
one will doubtless be successful.

THE PRESS MEETING IN AUGUSTA

The Maine Press Association held its an
| nual meeting in Augusta Jan. 2Sth and 29th
with good attendance. 1t is one of the
Oldest association of the kind in the coun-
try, and as the kennebec Journal well said
ait has accomplished great work for its
members as individuals and for Maine
newspaperdom as whole. The Wednes
day afternoon and evening sessions were
devoted to business. The old board of Of
ficers was reelected as follows: President
{. A. Pilsbury, Belfast; vice presidents,
Jesse H. Ogier, Camden Liston P. Evans.
Dover: William H. Dow, Portland; secre-
tary, Joseph Wood, Portland; treasurer,
Geo. W. Vickery, Augusta; corresponding
secretary, Samuel L. Boardman, Bangor
executive committee, Charles A. Pilsbury,
Belfast (ex-officio); Howard owen, Angus
ia : Frank G. Rich, Bangor; Fred W. San
born, Norway.
The committee on-necrolOgy reported tive
deaths during the year in the membership
of the association. VIZ. Il. X. Baker,
Halloweu; Theodore Cary. Houlton; L. IL.
Murch. Belfast: P. O. Nickery, Augusta
NJ. y. Rich, Portland. 1t was voted that
suitable memorials of each be prepared for
publication in the next annual report.
The following resolutions, presented by
George $. Rowell OF Portland, were unani-
mously adopted
Whereas the present libel laws of Maine
wele adopted more than three-fourthS OF
century ago when the conditions OF news
paper publication were entirely dlHerent
from what they are at the present time. AS
result these avs are today lnequitaDle
and burdensome. Moreover they single out
publishers for the imposition of harsh and
unjust rules of law that do not apply to
other interests of the State. These laws
were inherited from Massachusetts,, which
has since repealed them and substituted
statute provisions more Just ana eQultaple
in their application therefore be 1t
Resolved, That the publishers of Name
have right to stand upon basis OF equal
ity before the law with the rest OF their
fellow citizens.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse the
bill-an exact copy of the present Massa-
chusetts law-now pending before the judi
ciary committee as a measure whose Just
purpose is to bring our ancient laws into
harmony with modern conditions. 1t Is
conservative and fair in all its provisions,
and embodies nothing that is not already IN
force in leading States in the Union.
We are fully convinced that its passage
will be simply an act of justice.

Should the electric railroad from Camden
to Liberty be built, as now seems probable,
it will put an end to the project OF extend
ing the c. T. & K. from Warren to Togus.
The proposed terminus in Liberty is not
more than ten or twelve miles from ToguS
the eastern terminus of Augusta road, while
the Warren end of the C.. T. & r. is some %
miles distant. There will scarcely be two
routes completed between R0ckland and
Augusta, one from each end of the c. I. d
r., though that would suit the people of ur
county very we'll and both roads would
bring business this way and open up valu-
able lines of trade, as well as supply faclll-
ties for several tlourishing communities
now without railroad connections. Present
indications are that the Warren-Togus link
will not be forged during the present year,
and the promoters of the Liberty road say
they will put that through as soon as they
get their charter and the frost gets out of
the ground The names mentioned in
connection with the Liberty project are
those of men of ample means to carry it
through with their own money if they
choose If these men have decided to put
their road through this year, they will do
SO; and, once it is built to Liberty, they
will scarcely fail to make the Togus connec-
ton before the long lie from Warren can
be built-Rockland Opinion.

The Camden and Liberty Railway.

The hearing on the charter for the Cam
den and Liberty Railway will be held be
Legislatu on Wednesday, Feb II, at
Augusta. The following is the correct list
of the men who signed the petition asking
for the charter: H. NJ. Bean, r. L. Bean,
F. Frank Knowlton, Reuel Robinson, W..
T. Schwartz and John G. Crowley of
Camden; II. L. Shepherd of Rockport, G.
E. Littlefield of Rockland, Thomas W..
Lawson of BoFton, Chas c. Griffin of
Haverhill, and Charles W. Henry of Phil
adelphia After the charter has been OBJ
tained and the corporation organized, a
competent engineer will be employed to
make most careful survey of the whole
route and after hearing his report, the
members of the corporation, when they
deem it proper and advisable and not until
then, and when it seems that the road will
be paying investment, will 60 ahead on n
the work of construction. When the road
will be built, however, depends wholly on
the result of a thorough survey made by a
competent engineer Herald.

During the Thursday morning session
Hon Joseph A. Homan of Augusta, one OF
the four surviving charter members, made
his appearance and was welcomed by rls-
ing vote, followed by recess OF five MIN
utes that all might have an opportunity to
greet him. Mr.. Homan recently passed his
s7th birthday and is quite feeble. He spoke
very feelingly of the pleasure it gave him to
meet the members of the Maine Press Asso-
citation once more. F. G Rich OF Bangor
and II. K Morrell of Gardiner, charter
members, were present, and to the only alb
sent one, Major E. Rowell OF Hallowell,
who is spending the winter in Minneapolis,
the following telegram was sent:
AUGUSTA, Jan. %. By vote Of the Maine
Press Association, here assembled TOR Its
4oth annual session, am directed to con-
vey to you, one of its charter members.
