There has been much published In
regard to the President arranging for
his running mate on the presidential
ticket and about his making arrange
ments with Senator Hanna to run the
campaign. AS to the national chairman
ship, he is said to favor and oppose the
selection of NJ. A. Hanna. The reports
that he has taken two Numerically OPP
posite positions as to the national chair
manship naturally refute each other
A Washington correspondent says; ut
can be stated most emphatcally that
the President has made no suggestions
as to the vice-Presidential nomination,
and that he hes given expression to no
views as to the national Craftsmanship.
or course both the questions Of the vice
Presidency and that of the national
craftsmanship have been discussed with
the President, but he has pot indicated
any preference on either subject" This
seems to be very.reasonable.

Death of Alfred Moore.

Mr.. Alfred Moore died at his late
residence on Garfield street, Madison,
Me-, after lingering illness, Wednes-
day, July 18th. Mr.. Moore had been a
resident of Madison for many years and
was loved and respected by all who
came in contact with him. He is sur
vived by a widow, a daughter, Mrs.
Willis Emery of North Arson, a broth
er, MIR. Luman Moore of Skowhegan,
also three sisters, Mrs. 5. g. Thompson
and Mrs. Mira Holbrook of Skowhegan,
and Mrs. Annette Perkins of Madison.
He came here number of years ago
and was an employee of the Madison
Wooden Co. until about three years ago
when failing health compelled him to
give up active work. Always patient
and agreeable he possessed the faculty
of making friends with everybody, even
during his last illness his one thought
was for his devoted wife and daughter
who did all in their power to minister
to his comfort. He had been very i'll
for long time but the end came very
suddenly and almost without warning
The funeral was held from the home,
Miss Mabel Andrews, pastor of the Free
Baptist church, officiating. There was a
protuse display of flowers from the
deceased relatives and friends, conspic
uous of which was the emblem of the
order from the U. o. G. e., also hand,
some set piece from Euclid Lodge, F.
and A. M, of which the deceased was a
Past Master and by whom the interment
was conducted with very impressive
ceremony.
Perhaps it would be interesting to
trace the family history back for two
or three generations. The ancestors of
Maj. Samuel Moore originated in Scot
land and came to this country in IT'S.
They settled in New Hampshire on a
tract of land then called Nestfield and
which was incorporated as Londonderry
in 1772. Maj samuel Moore moved
from Londonderry and settled in Litch-
field in 1871. During the French and
Indian wars his service was conspicuous.
Maj John Moore of Derry field, (now

a captain in the French and Indian wars
and was given majors commission for
bravery at the battle of Bunker Hill on

"At a recent teachers meeting" said

Just such men as one finds outside of

making inquiries about those male
teachers in the school nearest my home
The following are the data given me
by the principal of this school, which,
l am told, Is by no means more favored
in the way OF appointments than the
others in the system: out of ten male
teachers all but three could boast, II
they desired to do SO. the possession of

are masters, with some work done to-

People who have not seen Niagara
Falls in all their glory should take early
opportunity to visit them. There is
reason to fear that this great natural
curiosity has seen its best days. The
American power company is diverting
water at the rate OF between six and
seven million gallons a minute from its
accustomed channels and the projected
works on the Canadian side when COM

more. There is more formidable danger
In the construction of commercial and
drainage canals, which will divert the
outflow of the waters of the upper lakes

the Chicago drainage canal, which takes
100000 cubic feet of water a minute
from Lake Michigan, and it is proposed

The event of the week of wide interest
was the death of Pope Leo XIII which
occurred Monday afternoon. The gen.
eral plaudit of the people of the nations
OF Chrstendom, irrespective of creed, is
that the difficult duties of the high office
intrusted to him were performed with
signal ability and fidelity through the
long term of more than twenty-five
years. The Pope who is dead was sym
pathetic and progressive, broadminded
and tactful, thereby endearing his name
to Catholics the world over and winning
for him the admiration of millions who
followed other faiths. The college of
cardinals will elect his successor who
will, in all probability, be an Italian.

An important case was heard in the
L. S. court in Portland, Tuesday and
Wednesday, before Judge Putnam. The
U. S. Shipbuildirg Company was placed
in the hands of a receiver by the U. S.
court in New Jersey. The stock of the
Bath Iron Works is held largely by that
company and the receiver petitioned for
authority to take control of the Bath
plant. After a lengthy hearing and
argument by able counsel, Judge Put
nam ruled that the Bath Iron Works
may complete the government contracts
now on hand before the receiver shall
take charge. This is grand thing for
the Bath plant and the business of that
