The High School Benefit.

Last Friday evening in Coburn hall
the students of the Watrvlle high
school presented A. Fisher Lincoln's 8
act drama, "Little Trump" The per.
formance was for the benefit of the
Skowhegan high school.
little Trump" is western play
and it fairly bristles with thrilling In
cidents. There was always something
doing. Abduction, murders, attempted
murders, duels, explosions and arrest
follow each other with startling rapidity
aud the audience last Friday night was
kept at high pitch of excitement.
The play was well presented and pleas.
ed the audience. 1t was staged by E.
l.. Edgecomb of Auburn, who was re-
sponsible for the fine production of
"Hazel Kirke" given here by Waterville
students few years ago. The special
stage setting used In the first act was
most effective.
OF the company it can be said that all
did well. Andrew E. Warren was a
typical western lover in the part of Rex
Kenyon. L. Willis Getehell presented Il
clever Characterization of forty.niner
as Old Rube Pettengill. As the villain,
Phillip Cranston, Walter M. Yose was
exceptionally good. His conception of
the role was an innovation upon that of
most stage bad men as he played it with
out smoking the cigarette of tradition
Ralph H. aoxie did good bit of acting
as the Mexican, Manuel Sanchez, and
the other men of the cast, Phillip A.
Mason, Harry w Kidder and Fred Ken
nison played well their parts.
OF the ladies Miss Jennie NJ. Vose was
a good as Old Pepita, Miss Mary c,
Abbott was a loyable Grace, Miss AIDE.
laide M. johnson won several laughs as
the old maid, Minerva, and Miss Carrie
D. Noyes In the part was most
happily cast as the Colorado waif and
played with great vim.
The audience, owing probably to the
lenten season and the fact that Skowhe-
gan has been inundated by amateur per.
formances lately, was not SO large as il
otherwise might have been.

Prof. w. S. Bayley of Colby has re-
Gently been appointed to secure statis-
tics relating to wells and water resources
In Maine. The United States geological
survey has begun the investigation of
water supply over large portion of the
United States, but 1t is only within the
past few days that 1t has included our
State among the list of these to be stud
led. 1t Is obviously impossible, on ac-
count of expense, for Prof. Bayley to
visit all the wells In Maine. For large
portion of the information he should
have, in order TO make the investigation
of any value, he must depend In large
measure upon those citizens who possess
sufficient public spirit to provide him
with the names of we'll owners especial
ly owners of deep wells), of those who
utilize springs as sources OF water supply
and of those who may at any time have
been interested In deep borings, whether
such behring's penetrated water veins or
not. He urges those who may have in
their possession such information as is
desired to send their names at once to
him at Waterville.

Not for long time has an utterance
by the President been so universally
commended as President Roosevelt's
letter explaining his policy of negro
appointments. Not only has it been
unanimously endorsed by the Republic
can press of the country, but nearly all
the leading papers of the opposition
party have had word of praise for IL.
Its fairness and frankness, and the COM
mon sense spirit In which 1t was penned,
have made even the Southern newspapers
admit that the President is THEORETICAL
ly right" No doubt this letter goes far
to put the President on better footing
with the people of the South. 1t is
another illustration of the good results
of the Presidents policy of taking the
public into his full confidence.

Some idea of the terrible sacrifice of
bird life to millinery is afforded by the
London auctions regularly held for the
feather trade. Last year there were
six, at which 1,608 packages of "osprey',
feathers were catalogued. A package is
of variable size, probably, averaging
over 80 ounces, making total of at
least As, 240 ounces. Four birds are re-
CURED to furnish one ounce of plumes,
so that these sales represent the slaugh-
ter of l2S, GAO birds. Most of these birds
came from India, where recent govern
ment edict looks to diminishing the kill
ing of the farmers friends. The de-
crease of this supply, it fashion remains
bloodthirsty, will mean an accelerated
demand from other sources. Florida
especially suffers from that pest of pests,
the hunter who kills birds for their
p image.

put some amendments of their own on the
omnibus bill. They baked vigorously,
especially Senator Warren of Wyoming,
who was one of the Republican con-

pleased, however, for Gov. Burlelgh had
gotten on the bill all that Maine wanted.
But they took hand 10 bringing Sena

Frye made several visits to the Wyoming
Senator and Senator Hale also helped
smooth the way. Finally the conferees

Henry Waterman, the man who has
the distinction of issuing the first pos
tage stamp used in this country, has just
died at Woonsocket, r. l., at the age of
Sc years. In 1899 he made and used as
postmaster at Millbury, the now famous
Millbury stamps, which today, according
to the catalogues of stamp collectors,
are valued from $500 to $1,000 each.
When Mr.. Waterman was appointed
postmaster letters were cancelled by the
postmaster writing his name across the
envelope with the amount due. He con-
ceved the idea of having stamp, and
drew his design. He procured die
from Boston and his stamps were made.
His example was followed by others,
and now the postage stamp is one OF the
most convenient articles in use.
