AS was mentioned few days ago,
there has been more or less talk in the
State of Il summer school for the Ii
brarians of Maine. Hon. l.. ID. Carver,
State librarian, is very enthusiastic
over the proposition and is doing all
that he can to bring the school about
lie has written letters to all the Ii
brarians, and others Interested in Ii
brary work, asking what their views
on the subject were and if they would
attend. AS yet he has not heard from
all of them, which is not at all dislp-
pointing, sufficient time not having
elasped. Those from whom he has had
replies were much pleased With the
idea.
Prof. George T. Little, librarian at
Bowdoin College, has siSniticd his will
inSnesS to assist i'll making the school
a success SO far as i'll his power. To
this end he says that he will deliver
two addresses upon college work, one
of them to be on the use of reference
books, the other not yet settled upon.
He las also informed Mr.. Carver that
if it was the desire of those who make
the arrangements the school could be
held in the new library at BOwdOin.
If the idea goes through the school
will BE- held either the last of July or
the first Of August and will last for two
weeks. Ii will be held either at Bow
dom or here in Augusta. If held in Au-
gusta it is probable that the sessions
will take place in the representatives
hall. No effort will be made hy Mr..
cary or to complete the arrangements
until he has received assurances of CO.
operation from sufficient number of
| the librarians To whom ne has written.

Resolutions.

At the last meeting of the Board of
Managers of the Maine Children's
Home Society the following resolutions
were adopted:
ION January 3, 1904, Mrs. Jennie
Hill Blackman, n valued and most
highly esteemed friend ana member of
our Board of Managers, was called to
her Heavenly Home and to the pres
erce of her Lord. Those of us who
knew her best can never tell how much
we miss her presence. Owing to sick
ness in her own home and her gradu-
tally failing health, she often spoke of
|regretting the lack of time and strength
to do many things which were in her
heart to do for others and especially
for the Home, but in many ways both
publicly and privately she did both
small and greater things, which mal1e
us feel that she earned the right to the
words, 'Shc hath done what she could"
Feeling that we have lost faithful
and efficient member and desiring to
extend our sympathy to those whose
sense of loss is keener than ours, we
gratefully record the following resolu-
tons:
Whereas, In the Providence Of God it
has pleased Him to remove from our
midst our beloved sister, Mrs. Jennie
Hill Blackman. it is hereby
Resolved, That in her death the
Board of Managers of the Maine Chill
drcn's Home Society has sustained the
loss Of n faithful and earnest worker,
one whom we very highly esteemed
in love for her works sake" And be
it further
Resolved, That we as 4 Board of
Managers extend to the bereaved fami-
ly our loving sympathy and earnest
prayers for their comfort from the
God of all grace, in their bereavement.
And bc it further
Resolved. That copy of these Tesolu
tionS be spread upon the records of
the Society, one sent to the bcrcavcd
family, one published i'll the Kcnnebcc
Journal, and one also published in
Our Mission Work."

George F. Hall in "A Ragged Hero"
The constructive skill of the we'll
known playwright, Maurice J. Field
ing, has evidently been tasked to its
utmost in evolving his latest product,
which he appropriately christcncd "A
Ragged Hero" and i'll which he has
ably demonstrated the aptness of the
saying that IAN honest heart Oft beats
beneath tattercd coat" This drama,
with the popular young American
comedian George Il. Hall in the title
role, is the attraction announced for
the closing of the season at the Opera
House Oh Thursday, May &c.
The hero of the play is not the usual
type of stage tramp, but on the con
trary, though unshavcn and Hnkcmpt
a physical and moral wreck, still bears
the hallmark of former gcntility, and
when the climax comes again takes MS
rightful place in socicty-a man a'1.onS
men. The story OF his regeneration Is
clearly and tcrscly told, linked as il
proceeds with the varying fortunes OF
IN honest young farmer, prosecuted
and imprisoned for anothers crime
The play is produced with an amplitude
