This evening, three athletic games
will be played at the Coliseum and
quito a lot of excitement ought to de-
vclop from the several contests. The
polo game between the Augusta and
Gardiner teams is expected to be Il fast
one and the enthusiasts in this sport
VIII probably be pleased with it. The
High school basketball team from Ban
gor will be the visiting team and the
contest with the Gardiner team ought
to be IN exciting one, as the Bangor
team is said to be Il particularly strong
one. A preliminary game of polo will
be played between the Randolphs and
tic Gardiner Juniors. This will be tho
first game that these two teams Will
have played and quite a bit of interest
in which team will be the winner is
manifest.

is SACO PRIVATE LAND?
Letter from Portland, Oregon Says It:
Citizens Arc Squatters.

Saco, Me, Jan. 13.-AccordinS to Il
letter received by w. w. Mcintyre OF
this city, from Il lawyer in Portland.
Ore, Saco is only tract Of private
land, the inhabitants of this municipal
ity are only squattcrs and will have to
give up the property to some claimants
in the far western state, whose anccs-
tors were Eoothbys, who lived in Sa-
co. Il century ago.
The letter states that Joshua Booth
by owned what is now SacO and sur
rounding territory, back in revolution
AIRY days. He leased the tract in 1879
for a period of years, and as the
lease expired some years ago the west
ern heirs of Joshua want to come into
their own.
If the record of the 99-year lease can
be found, Saco is destined to revert to
the heirs Of Joshua Boothby, who
moved from here to Ohio early III the
18th century.
This does not coincide with the early
history of SaCo as commonly under
stood, but the western heirs seem to
be in earnest and the city may lose its
place on the map.
The Oregon attorney requests Mr..
Mcintyre to look up the records or en-
list some attorney who will. Mr.. Nc
Intyre has done nothing as yet.
A grandson of Joshua Boothby writes
that he has known that it has always
been claimed that his grandfather
owned Saco. ard that a Maryland law
Yer, who was employed to look up the
claim, died before he had made Il re-

There are certain college customs
which are universal, but each univer-

to itself, and among the great West
Crn universities of the United States
there have grown up some that are
absolutely unique. One of the most
surprising is the BARRIERS day of the
University of Michigan. Some years
ago the sophomores, before Easter.
caught few freshmen and gave them
hair cuts. The freshmen paid back in
kind, and there grew up an annual fes-
tival of a week when the two lower
classes go about with shears to re-
move the locks of their rivals. The
weel; is celebrated just before the
Easter holidays, and most of the mem
bers of the two lower classes leave for
home looking like convicts. This
year there were only twenty men out
of the two classes that escaped the
operation, which is performed with
more yea. than skill.

our so-called civilized nations as no

get speech Mr.. Gladstone of England
once made the following statement:
The expenses of a war are the
moral check which it has pleased the
Almighty to impose upon the ambi-
tion and lust of conquest that are in
herent in so many nations. There is
pomp and circumstance, there is glory
and excitement about war, which, not
withstanding the miseries it entails,
invests it with charms in the eyes of
the community, and tends to blind
men to those evils to fearful and
dangerous degree. The necessity of
meeting from year to year the expen-
diture which it entails is a salutary
and wholesome check, making them
feel what they are about, and making
them measure the cost of the benefit
upon which they may calculate"
Great Britain is to-day paying the
financial price of the recent long
drawn-out conflict with the Beers in
South Africa, and the people find the

ly engaged in hostilities. None of
them has any money to throw away,
and in the event of a general Euro
pean imbroglio, the expense would be
simply enormous. Accepting the es-
innate of about 400, 900 soldiers at the
present total of the Japanese army,
the cost of landing this force on the
Korean or Manchurian coast at the
rate of SO per man, exclusive OF
horses, artillery and supplies, would
be 100000.

cost OF war to Japan, including her
navy, will be million dollars a day.
That means the entire earnings OF
100000 Japanese toilers, since their
average wage is twelve cents a day

coo, one wonders who is to support
her non-combatants. Russia, too, will
have a serious bill to meet. NJ Roche
