LARGE RAIL SHIPMENTS.
About 100000 Tons for Canada This
Month.

New York. Oct. .6.-The month OF
October will be a record one for the
shipment OF standard rails, about lOo,-
600 tons going to Canada, it being
necessary TO maxi, deliveries on Cana
dian contracts before November in ac-
cordance with the new tariff regula-
tons Of the Dominion. Very few new
orders for standard sections have been
placed. The business in light sections,
however. has continued quite active
with higher prices realized by some
mills who have now sold their capac-
ity up to the first Of January refusing
to take orders for 1893 delivery except
at premium.
Interest now centres mainly in the
orders which railroads are likely to
place for 1908 delivery. 1t is under
stood that there ar, still nearly 2,O0O,0o0

SCHOOL OF LAW.
Of Lectures to Be Given
at U. Of M.

Orono. Me-. Oct. 27.-The students OF
the University of Maine school of Law
are greatly interested in the course Of
lectures to be given at the university
during the approaching winter, an
nouncement Of which has already been
made. Last year these lectures were at
tended by hut few Of the law school
students. but this year more than half
Of he s,uients ra1c already ,greed -
attend az least majority Of the lee
lures and many other students who
have not already signined their inten-
ton of so doing viii take advantage of
the opportunities offered by the course.
The lectures are to be given IN the
university chapel ana the list of lee
lures is most attractive as will be seen
by the following:
Thursday. Nov. 3. Prof. Caleb T.
Winchester, Wesleyan. subject, The
English Lakes and Their Poets.
Thursday Nov. L. Rufus &. Richard

in Athens, subject. The Excavation of

the Railroad" Gllustrated)
Thursday, March .. Prof Samuel n
Spring, University of Maine. subject,

ED
Prof Winchester is undoubtedly the
lecturer on English literature. He has
been for 10 years director of the Amer
lean School of Classical Studies in
Athens and ancient Corinth was exca-
waited under his personal supervision.
Prof. Little is an enthusiastic noun
taneer Of many years experience in
different parts of the country. Prof
Raskerville's name has become famous
in the scientific world through his dis
cOVcry Of new chemical elements and
his experiments with radium. Prof
Allen is recognized master Of his en-
eagng subject. Prof. Spring of the
University of Maine, deals in an at
tractive manner with subject of alb
sorbing interest to all citizens of the
State.
OF course it cannot be expected that
the outcome from such course of lee
lures will equal the expense: yet the
university gladly furnishes tickets to
the students free of cost. while for all
others a nominal price is fixed, 81 for
the course and % cents for single lee
tire.
