DROWNED AT BLuEHIIL.



Solomon Haslem, of MariavilIe, Broke
Through the Ice.
Solomon Hasten, of Mariaville, was
drowned at Bluebiil on Monday, March
IA, by bresking through the ice at Aliens
mill near the outlet OF Billings pond.
Mr.. Hasltm and his brother Alonzo
were at work for Roy Allen, of North
Sedgwick. He had spent Sunday at his
home In Mariaville, and returned at mig hit
via Ellsworth.
He arrived at Bluehill all right, and put
up the horse he had hired of Judson
Grindle, and then left for the mill, max
ing short cut across the pond.
On Monday morning he had not arrived.
His brother started the mill, but he
became so worried about his brother that
about 8 o'clock he started out to look for
him.
On his way to Mr.. Grindie's, whose team
he had hired, be came across evidences OF
an accident, and soon discovered to his
horror that Solomon had broken through
the thin ice near the dam, and had been
drowned.
All Mariaville was shocked to learn OF
his death. The body was taken to that
town on the 18th, and the funeral held at
the home OF his parents, William Haslem
and wife.
Besides his parents be leaves three broth
ers-AloDzo, Wesley and Fred; Wesley
lives in California. The stricken family
has the heartfelt sympathy OF the entire
community.

"LADY ROSES DAUGHTER"
Dramatized by Ellsworth Girl, and
Played by Wellesley Seniors.

-
Played by Wellesley Seniors.
fBoston Herald, March col
A very warm and closely packed audi
ence was gathered In the "barD" at
Wellesley college last evening to see
LADY Roses Daughter, drsmatized' by
Miss Helen Rollins, 1904, and presented
by the seniors who live in Stone hall.
The cast OF the play was as follows:
Julie lie Breton. Estelle Kramer
Capt warkworth. .....Laura Hussey
Jacob Delaheld. ................... Bertha Plat
Duchess of Crowborough. ....Helen Rollins
Duke Of Crowborough.. Elsie Ring
Lord Lockington.. ...-...Grace Clark
Sir wilfred Bury. Florence Hatsiupillar
Montresor.. ...................... Maude Jessup
DR. Meredith ...................B eulah johnson
Lady nry.................... Marion Kinney
Hutton. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Margaret Stevens
Leonie. ......................Nin Nina Hin
Considering the difficulty OF dramatic
ing such a complicated plot as that of
Mrs. Howe's, and the additional Difficult
ties of staging and presenting it in "the
barn" without making a serious thing
wholly ridiculous, Miss Rollins dramatic
zation was remarkably good one.
The cutting was, OF necessity, done with
lavish hand, but judiciously, so that the
thread of the story was clear even to
those who were not familiar, with the
book.
The first act was in two Gcenes. Miss
Kinney's acting as Lady Henry, was very
well done, as was her only other appear
ance In the last act. She did the
masterfui, dominating old lady with
great spirit.
The second act brought in the quarrel
OF the duke and duchess over Julie, very
charming scene, which lightened the play
admirably. Miss Rollins, as the duchess,
was at her best here, and Miss Ring, as
the duke, played up to her very well.
The third act marked the climax, and
In 1t she discioses her identity to LORD
Lackington. Miss Kramer did some good
acting. Miss Plat, as Delafield, was also
possibly at her best here.
Miss Rollins acting throughout was
as well sustained as any, her part being
a lighter and more pleasing one than any
of the others. The cast was well chosen
and the play one of the most successful
of the year.

Music is a great blessing when 1t is
music. 1t is a civilizer. 1t exalts the
soul and-unless it is rag-time music
inspires noble thoughts. When 1t
is not music it has exactly the OPP

or assault and battery and makes

Some day, when we have grown
more civilized, cities will have noise

SCENE IN WHEAT BELT.

One square mile of wheat. Ever
see it? Transcontinental trains used
to stop in the Smoky Hill valley Of
Kansas to allow passengers a view of
such a wonder 1t realized all the
travellers dreams of agricultural
splendor. Hundreds such visions
now mark the great grain area of the
plains, but their beauty is none the
less. Six hundred and forty acres of
wealth; $4,000 prof1t-perhaps more!
1t shimmered beneath the perfect
opalescent blue of the sky, the tall
straws bending with their weight of
grain. Standing on the seat of the
reaper one might see in the distance
glimmer of green pastures and
catch glimpses of rustling fields OF
corn, but here was the heart of sum-

THE TOO-READY REVOLVER.

There would be fewer murders in
the United States like the unprovoked
assassination of Andrew H. Green
were proper legislation enacted and
enforced in every state of the union
restricting the sale of pistols and
knives under reasonable regulations.
In Great Britain a movement is on
foot to require proper safeguards in
the sale of firearms. There has been
too much laxity and injurious license
in such matters in this country.
There ought to be a law in every
commonwealth in this republic laying
down barriers of genuine weight
against the carrying of revolvers
without permits from the proper au-
thorities, and the granting of such
permits ought to be hedged about
with thorough precautions. More
over, any and every offender against
such statute should be compelled to
serve a term of imprisonment and
not be allowed to escape punishment
by the mere payment of fine.-New
York Tribune.

STRATEGY.

What has war taught about STRAIT
egg? Nothing. The principles of
strategy are few, simple. and appar-
entity immutable. They are the same
now as they were in Caesars time,
and have never been better epito-
mixed than by Gen. Forest, who said
that the art of war consisted in get
tin thar fustest with the mostest
men," The Japanese have managed
to do this so far. 1t is supposed the
total number of Japanese soldiers in
the field about equals the total num-
Der of Russian soldiers. But the Japs
had considerably more troops in bat
tie at the mouth CT the Yalu, Nanshan
hill and Vafangow than the Russians.
The Japanese generals, up to the
present time, have showed themselves
to be the superior strategists.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

REAL HEROES ARE MODEST.

Our brave men and women do not
come from the dime novel readers
who love to imagine themselves the
subjects of newspaper illustrations
and the recipients of popular adula-
ton. True bravery not only seeks
no reward, but it shuns publicity, con-
tent with the approval resulting from
the performance of duty. So if the
Carnegie fund is to go to real heroes,
its recipients must be sought out,
for no deserving candidates will pre-
sent themselves for reward. Modesty
is not quality that merely enhances
heroism; it is essential to heroism
itself, since entire obliteration of sell
fishness is the incentive to bravery.

THE MORALS OF AMERICANS.

DR.. Charles Cuthbert Hall thinks
that the moral standard of the Ameri-
can people is degenerating. DR.. Hall
is president of the Union Theological
Seminary in New York. In the course
of an address May IS before the Re-
ligious Educational Association in
Chicago he spoke of the relatively
good state of the common morality of
the American people" but deeper
examination of the social side of our
American life reveals, he thinks, a
situation that causes anything but
satisfaction Our activity has aston
ished the world, ''but morally we are
rapidly going astern-so rapidly that
one is dumfounded at the contrast
after a visit to. some of the countries
of Europe" Religion, he finds, has
very little part in our civilization to-
day; our home life might be better,
and our people are generally apathetic
about their spiritual interests. To
much the same intent but more spe-
cifc are the conclusions of DR.. Coyle
of Denver, as disclosed by him May
10 at the opening of the Presbyterian
general assembly at Buffalo. He
noted the drift of the people away
from lofty ideals and from organized
Christianity. 1t meant something, he
thought, when conservative observers
called our time ''the age of graft. =

WORK FOR CONVICTS-

a little more to work the states pris-
oners on the roads than it does to
keep them locked up, but the ultimate
results would probably be more profit
able to the state than would be the
results from any other use they could
be put to. The outdoor work would
be good for the convicts' health and
would, therefore, according to the best
authorities, exert a stronger influence
upon them than indoor work does, and
the products of their labor would not

USE OF VAST FORTUNES.

Vast accumulations of money al
teresting, but it is obviously difficult
for the accommodating individual to
make more than a moderate fortune
minister to his personal happiness.
A very big fortune determines what
his occupations shall be, and on what
he shall put his mind, but it has not
much to do with determining how
much satisfaction he shall get out Of
life. The great Office of accumulated
wealth is to promote civilization to
realize new possibilities of develop
ment. When wealth can buy new
knowledge for mankind; when it can
help lower race to rise little,
higher race to rise still more, it is
doing about the only thing it can
hope to do which is highly important.
The more thoughtful OF our very rich
men seem to realize this. They give
money most readily for the spread of
knowledge and the discovery of new
knowledge. For the relief of suffer
ing they are less solicitous. AS is
natural, considering their training,
they want to do things that will pay;
that seem to be scientifically useful.
The proportion of their incomes that
our richest men spend for their own
pleasure is a mere bagatelle. What
they don't spend at all Immediately
becomes productive capital, and a
large part of what they give away
promotes the spread of knowledge

Constable Tries to Tell Local Police

One of Mankato's "finest" seemed on
the eve of having clash with
a constable of a neighboring town last
evening. The constable had driven to the
city, tied his horse in front of saloon
and left the animal standing without
blanket. The police officer hunted up
the owner of the horse and informed
him that he must either put blanket
over his horse, put him in a barn or
take him home; at any rate it would
not do to let the horse stand out UNI

can't give me any pointers" The NUM-

must be taken care Of The constable
waxed more and more indignant, and
finally unhitched his animal, and drove
back to the domains of his own juris-
diction.

500 ROAD Is PROGRESSIVE.
Developing the Great Northwest
New Line to Winnipeg.
From Friday's Daily.

Another chapter has been added to the
record of the Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Sault Ste. Marie Railway company for
opening up new regions to settlement
and traffic and entering into keen COM
petition with the other roads. A new
line has been constructed across the
White Earth Indian reservation, and
along the eastern side of the Red River
Valley and into Winnipeg, the metropo-
lis of the Canadian Northwest, city
with a brilliant future, one to which
vast areas of farming country are des-
tined to be tributary for ages to come.
Other railroads competing with this
new line have been obliged to reduce
time and give better service; otherwise
the 500 would get the cream of the
business. The Great Northern and
Northern Pacific have had to hustle.
This is not the first time that the 500
has gladdened the hearts of the people
OF this state and adjacent regions. Some
years ago that railroad, then newly
organized concern, threw a line across
Wisconsin, and northern Michigan to
connect with the Canadian Pacific at
Sault Ste. Marie. This made it con-
trolling factor in the rate situation with
all eastern traffic. Then long line
was thrown in northwesterly direction
from the Twin Cities over across North
Dakota and into Assiniboia to Moose
Jaw on the Canadian Pacific, thus vir-
tually establishing another transconti-
mental route.
If anybody doubts the value of compe-
tition between railroads, let him look
over the history of the 500, and see
what has been the effect of its doing on
the other roads.

PRIZES FOR FRUIT.
Minnesota Exhibit at the Worlds

Fair Big Winner.
Besides taking the grand prize for the
best collective exhibition of fruits at the
st. Louis exposition, Minnesota tri-
Der of prizes won by individual exhibits
and took five gold medals, forty bronze
and thirtysix silver ones. Members of
the state horticultural society who are
now assembling in the Twin Cities for
tic over the showing made, and feel that
the exhibition at st. Louis will have a
highly beneficial effect upon fruit rails
ing in this state.
From 500 to 600 plates of apples were
on exhibition throughout the fall, and
these were replenished from day to day
with fresh fruit.
A preliminary report of awards made
in connection with the Minnesota exhibit
will give some idea of the Importance of

though this list covers only the select
fruits. A very larg display of grapes
was made in September and October, 200
or 300 plates being shown at time.
Minnesota also led in Strawberries, the
finest of which were grown near Duluth.
Some of these measured six inches in
circumference.
