Gated on Wednesday.
Handsome Addition to the Agricultural
Experiment Station.
Addresses by Several Prominent Maine
AgricuIturists.

Orono. Me-, May 25-The exercises
connected with the dedication of

ture in the university by President
Fellows, and brief addresses by State
Commissioner of Agriculture A. w. Gill
man, and former secretaries of the
State Board of Agriculture, Il. w. Nc
Keen and S. l.. Boardman. At the close

tural Experiment Station. It's name
was given in honor of Dr. Ezekiel
Holmes. for many years the leader Of
the agricultural and scientific develop
ment of Maine.
DIR. Holmes graduated from Brown
University and are Maine Medical
school shortly before 1923 and was edi-
tor Of the Maine Farmer from it's estab-
lishment in 1888 until his death in 1865.

curing the establishment of what is
now the University of Maine as an in
dependent institution.

WERE STEALING FRUIT.
Two Young Men Caught Making Free
With Freight.

When freight train No. 40. pulled in
to the Waterville yard, Wednesday
morning, from Portland, two younp fal-
lows alighted from one of the box care
and went across the yard and down
over the college campus to the bank OF
| the river where they made their morn.
ing toilet. Shortly afterward it was
discovered that the door of the car was
open and a pile Of oranges and banana
peels on the floor of the car showed that
| the occupants Of the car had been max.
ing free with it's contents. The car was
loaded with crates of the fruit and a
considerable quantity had been con-
sumed.
The young fellows were intercented
on their return from their ablutions
and arrested by officer Priest. who
locked them up at the station pending
advices from the officials of the road.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Quincy and the members of the train
crew say the car in which the fruit was
carried was sealed when the train left
Portland. The young fellows say they
jumped the train just as it was pulling
out of the Portland yard and climbed
into the car which they could not very
well have done if the car had been
sealed.
The prisoners are about % years of
age and gave their names as Jack
Smith and John Ferguson. They claim
to belong in New Brunswick and say
they were on their way to Millinocket
to work in the paper mill, after having
been at work in Massachusetts,. They
are bright appearing fellows and do
not look like hoboes or thieves. They
were held in this city, Wednesday. and
will probably be taken to Portland for
10 hearing on the case.

1T WAS STORMY.
Ohio Democrats Have Lively
Time in Convention.
Harmon Gets SO, Hearst Six and Foil
Four Delegates.
Alabama Speaks Right Out for JUDO
Parker's Nomination.

Columbus, Ohio. May 25.-.'he Demo-
cratic State convention here. today,
nominated State officers and electors
and chose delegates-at-large to the
st. Louis convention.
There were three Presidential ele-
ments involved. The Hearst men
originally wanted instructions but fin
ally limited their opposition to the unit
rule. The friends Of Col. James Kill
bourne of Columbus. who was the
Democratic candidate for governor
three years ago wanted endorsement"
The friends of Judge Judson Harmon
of Cincinnati, attorney general under
Cleveland, wanted no endorsement nor
instructions, but the unit rule. The
Harmon men apparently won.
The platform was adopted as pre-
scented, with the exception of n two
cents railway fare plank, which was
added at the instigation of Mayor
Johnson of Cleveland. The majority
for the unit rule was only 65 out of a
total vote of 723.
The convention was in consecutive
session almost nine hours and during
the last hours it was disorderly. There
were several dramatic scenes, notably
when FORMER Congressman John T.
Lentz and Col. A. Taylor INDUCED in
personalities on the platform and later
when Allen o. Myers and Mayor Tom
l.. Johnson had a heated argument.
The delegates and alternates-at-
large are claimed by the so called con-
servatives. who also claim 80 of the
district delegates. The poll of the Ohio
delegations to st. Louis is &c conserva-
tives friendly to Harmony Hearst, 6
and Folk, 4.

The district attorney said although
he considered that the government

moved that sentence be imposed on
the first II counts, Hayden to receive

thusiasm ran high, each school having
a big crowd of rooters on hand. The
work of both pitchers was good, but
the Institute boys landed on Farnham

runs.

the object of teaching, not letters, but
politeness. The schoolroom is fur
nished with chairs. tables and rugs, to
give the necessary local color to the
surroundings. The dog pupils are
trained to welcome visitors by jump
ing up. wagging the tail and giving a
low bark. When the visitor leaves, the
dog accompanies him to the door and
bows his farewell by bending his head
to the floor. He is trained likewise to
pick up a handkerchief, glove or fan
