Musicians Are Max Band practice
ing Good Progress. under the d.
rection of Prof. Rodenkirchen is
held daily, and the director says
the men are making greater pro-
gress than he anticipated. They
are already playing simple melo-
dies, and by Decoration Day they
expect to be far enough advanced
to play medley of national. airs
and perhaps march or two. The
members Of the band are all inter-
ested in their work and rapid pro-
gress is to be expected.
Mr.. Rodenkirchen is busy in
the chapel most of the day, ar
ranging music for the band and
orchestra and working on his own
compositions. He has recently
composed two marches, one I'M. S.
p" dedicated to Warden Wolfer,
and the other, ''The Deputy y
which is dedicated to Deputy
Warden Glennon. The former
he played at the chapel service a
week ago last Sunday and the lat
ter was played last Sunday. Both
are stirring marches, full of verve
and life.

Visit the Prison. Crawfor d,
known as the ''poet scout" prom
Uses to visit the prison some time
in the not very distant future.
Capt. Crawford was here in Sep
TENDER 1896, and since then has
always had warm spot in his
heart for those who greeted him
at that time. He has written now
and then to the secretary of the
Chautauqua circle and has sent
mementoes of his travels to The
MIRROR. In recent letter, he
says:
"Hello fellers! I hope to have
the pleasure and privilege OF
again talking to you as I did that
Sabbath morning in early Sep
TENDER '96, just after the big G..
A. r. encampment at st. Paul
Some there may still remember it:
for [ received over $50 letters
from members to whom sent my
poem, Mothers Prayer and near
ly every one had this heartfelt
expression: God bless you,' OF
God be with you, Captain Jack.
And the notice or synopsis of my
speech, or talk, published in The
MIRROR, was the most gratifying
bit of printed matter that I have
ever read"
Capt. Crawford tells of his sue
cess before the Florida Chautau-
qua and of his plans for the COM
ing season. Referring to the lat
ter, he says: ''The first Sunday
have when [ can reach you, you
can count on me taking the
morning service, as L did before
that is if that grand man, Warden
Wolfer, is still on deck" As
Warden Wolfer is still here, it is
safe to count on a visit from Capt
Crawford some time during the
coming spring or summer. He
also sent The MIRROR an original
and hitherto unpublished poem
which appears on another page OF
this issue.

q question whether you should continue

here are graduates of that institution
if such an institution comes to you in
its hour of need. and is turned down
upceremoniously, think, gentlemen, it
would be q cause for shame. That is
4 course which ought not to be taken.
We have been very willing to add to
the salaries of our officials, and to
! grant deserving appropriations, and we
shall do so up to the very limit of our
financial possibilities. and I believe
there is nothing that can come before
US Which so rightly and SO righteous
| iy claims even what it asks for, than
! this institution. / hope that the mo-

will not prevail
! Mr. RANDALL of Freeport: Mr..
| Speaker, | wish to state in answer to
/ the gentleman from Waterville, that it
was stated before the committee on
| education that the cost of that build
ing was $4,000, and the members of that
| committee will bear me out in this
statement; and while they claimed it
| would cost more to replace it, it was
stated that was the cost of the building
at that time.
| The gentleman from Waterville
| claims that this has been a State bene-
| dciary, and 1 admit it, but it is not at
! the present time.
None of these institutions are State

Mr.. POTTER of Brunswick: Mr..
Speaker, I happened to come here from
Bowdoin instead OF Colby. but I con-
fess to q feeling Of sympathy and
frendlinoss for the college at Water
VILE, which has been doing q good work
in this State for a good many years in

an exceptional one. Colby has been

and has recently had the added mis-
fortune of fire, and this appropriation
is asked for to meet her special needs.
I agree, to some extent, with the gen
tleman from F'reeport as to the danger
of this being taken as precedent. On
the whole l feel inclined to take what
ever risk there may be in that direction
involved in voting for the passage of
the resolve. If Colby had the largest
income of any college in this State, if
she were, as a certain institution is. d
perpetual beggar for the bounty of the
State, if she had left her own legitimate
field and were asking for free forage in
the fields of Others l should feel differ
emily about this matter. AS it is, on
the whole, with some hesitation, agree
with the gentleman from Waterville
and shall vote for the passage Of the
resolve.

SHE MADE A CHANGE.
A Charleston Mother Did so With Ad.
vantage to Herself and Children.

A mother living in Charleston, Mass,
the happy possessor Of four children
writes. Every fall and winter | have
laid III a stock of cough remedies, Group
mixtures and throat medicines for my
children, for somehow or other they
never seem to be free from colds,
coughs or sore throat.
This fall l made change in the
usual program. / had myself been
cured of an obstinate catarrh, from
which 1 had suffered fer years, by STU
arts Catarrh Tablets, ana as they were
pleasant to take 1 determined to try
them with my children. Our family
physician told me he knew them to be
perfectly safe and nothing better could
be used for catarrh, coughs and colds.
80 I gave them to the children and
have continued to do So ever since,
whenever there is the beast I sign of
Group or sore throat and l no longer
dread the approach of cold weather as
l once did. r.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets not only
cured me of chronic nasal and throat
catarrh but they have saved me many
an anxious night with my little olIes.
The children like the taste Of them and
it is really wonderful how quickly they
will break UP croupy cold or an cbsti-
nate, deep seated cough
People who have used sprays, inhal-
ers, salves or washes for catarrh and
have found how useless they are, will
be agreeably surprised at the results
following the use Of pleasant, con-
venient. internal remedy in tablet
form. Druggists everywhere admit
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which
sell for 80 cents full sized packages, is
the safest, most effective and popular

THE square dance once dear to the
heart of the lads and lasses who found
pleasure 10 tripping the light fantas-
tic, is dead one, where the "ten cent
wing" used to be all the 60, The
passing up of the quadrille only goes
to show the tendency of the times.
Years ago when the Boston tea party
and the battle of Banker Hill were
occupying the stage of action our fore
fathers and mothers gravely went
through the measures of the stately
minuet in court costume with wig
and queue and powdered hair, and
yard upon yard of voluminous fioun-
ces. Today the young folks in shirt
waist and more or less scant drapeIy
gallop through the two step to rag
time music. 1t is easy enough to
follow the history of the country
through the years by its dances and
dancing, but If this rapid action con-
tinues what will replace the galloping
two step and where will it end?

Messers Frazer and Cox were ap.

the circuit court some time ago when
it failed. They gave out the above
information this morning.
1t is stated that the plant will
shortly resume operations as wooden
mill. There is no reason why it con-
not be made to pay. The failure was
caused by too much money being tied
up in the machinery ami the product.
Much OF the product has already
been sold at sixty present OF its value

is not known just what per cent OF
the claims against the company will
