superior court, today sentenced Mathes
to serve not more than three and not
less than two years In state prison and
TO pay the costs of prosecution. Both
the attorney for the prisoner and Attor-
ney General Eastman asked the court to
be as lenient as possible on account OF
the extreme Ill health OF Mathes and
other extenuating circumstances. The
indictment conta ined two counts and IL
was on the first OF these that Mathes
was sentenced. charging him fifth the
embezzlement OF $4,000 from the bank

lieved that IL the prisoner survives his
sentence this count Will be Quashed. At
torneys John Kivel of Dover and j. II. s..
Frink of Portsmouth appeared for the
prisoner, while the state was represented

Mathes was formerly treasurer OF the
Stafford savings bank. and while in that
position was requested by a friend to In
vest a sum of money for him. This
Mathes did but the Investment proved
unsuccessful, and the money was all lost.
To make good this loss Mathes borrowed
an equal amount from the funds OF the
bank, intending to replace IL later. and
this, too, he lost In speculation. Further
embezzlement followed until 1t was dis
covered and Mathes was indicted by the
grand jury The prisoner is In very poor

PRESIDENT ADDRESS.
The Introductory address was made by
the president Charles u. Dennis. Jr 1T
is not my purpose 10 ruminste, this morn
ing. upon the theories OF the past nor 20
expand theories for the present and fu-
ture. I am simply going TO insinuate the
changes Of the past 30 years and their
connection with the present institution.
"Tt was the task Of the institute 90 abol-
ish bad practices and inaugurate better
ones. To add normal and high schools
and make possible better relations be-
tween tne lower Hn1 DIbfltntS or
| learning. The millinium has not come yet
and there are many darknesses 10 be dis
pelled The history Of the institute is d.
vided into periods. The reports. during the
first period were very measre and the
inactivity lasted tll end OF the last
century. but Is now past. Two periods
have been passed. one from 1876 to 1870,
and 1870 tot19oo.
This was a history Of rise and fall.
ebb and flow and movements forward and
backward. The second period of advance
is at hand. Efforts are now being made
and greater activity Is aroused In the re-
peal Of the laws regarding education in
the state Evidences OF activity are shown
by tho fact of increase OF membership
and the Investigations I'm regard TO the
status occupation and statistics OF wom-
on college graduates.
I'm greater culture there r. greater
breadth. This theory is shown I'm methods
Of employment of teachers. remuneration.
etc. on the two-fold amelioration OF con-
ditions OF teachers depends the future of
instruction. The general public must be
put on footing TO ask and receive better
advice. This institution must be the
mouthpiece Of a new and better regime >.

Wl$ccn$ill Legislature.

Madison, April IAN apparently
effectual deadlock exists on the
primary election hill. The assembly
some weeks ago passed the so-called
administration measure, to which the
senate, on March &c, agreed after
cutting out all but city and county
officers till the people had ratified the
measure at the general election next
year. Thus amended the bill came
back to the assembly, which refused
to concur in the amendments. THIS
was Tuesday. Today the bill came
back, the senate refusing to recede'
and ex-Speaker Ray made a motion
that the house insist upon its posi-
ton and it prevailed. Then a COM
mittee of conference was asked,
free sprinkling of noes" coming rom
the democratic side. Thus the dead
lock is in force. No material re-
cession is at all likely from the stall
wart branch. The indications point
to a complete failure OF any reany
effective primary legislation during
the current session. When the
matter reached the senate a resOlu-
ton offered by Senator Whitehead,
that the senate adhere to its amend
ment," was adopted. The vote was
10 to "A, as follows:
For NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Beach,

By Bertha N. Clay.

thoughtful. / shall say 10 myself that
you are thinking of me-
She raised her face to his; and,
bending down, he kissed the loving
lips and the tears from the happy
eyes.
My love-" she murmured, Il could
almost wish TO die here and now,
while I am sure that you love me-"
And il would have been well for her
II she had died.
The sound of her voice, the clasp of
her arms, the kiss from her lips, the
memory of her loving words, went
with him as he set out to say farewell
to the girl he loved. Just that one
half-hour from a whole lifetime should
be his. He would take Hattie's hand,
look into her face, and say ''Good-by,"
never to meet her more, his first, last
and only love; and then the rest of
his life should be given to duty.
1t was the close of an autumn after
noon when he sought Hettie Ray. The
light was dying in an amber sky; and
he walked with swift footsteps up the
green hill that he would never climb
again.
