A GRAND SUCCESS.
Third Annual Ball Given by Bartend-
 erc' TTY,inr,

CTS Union. l The third annual ball given by the Bartenders union, Local No. 217
 eelipsed anything of its kind which has
 ever been given in this city. Music hall was a bower of beauty last night,
 and those who were fortunate enough to view the scene will long remember
 it. The color scheme was light blue
 and white, and bunting and streamers
 covered every inch of space in the hall, | so that no part of any of the ceiling or
 rafters was visible. The galleries were
 beautifully draped and a number of
 handsome banners were hung from them.
 ! The Second regiment band furnished the music and it was stationed on the stage behind a bower of palms and potted plants. The band rendered a | splendid concert and a dance pro- gramme of twenty-four numbers dur | ing tiie evening. Professor Dunn did the prompting in his usual artistic manner.
 There were a number of distinguished guests present during the evening, in cluding Mayor Studley and a number
 of other officials, both from this. city and about the state. At g o'clock the grand march was started, and about three hundred couples participated. It was led by 1 President James P. McGearty and Miss Olive La Sale, the latter gowned in white mule over white silk, with dia- mond ornaments. --so served the dancers at the Tontine hotel by Landlord White. The affair lasted until about o'clock this morning and all who attended had most enjoyable time. One of the features of the decora- tions was the locals seal, made of elec-
 tric lights, which was suspended over the stage.
 Among those who were present were
 Miss Kettle Hubbell, attired in white
 silk, with old lace trimmings; Mrs.
 Cora Allen, in a green silk waist with black satin skirt; Miss Edith Swan
 son, in gray silk, with old lace trim
 mings and diamonds; Miss Minnie
 Swanson, in black silk; Miss Ada

ANOTHER CHAPTER,

written in the mysterious Foster Lee
| Randall case of Lewiston. probably will
be made at the April term of the su-
preme court held in Auburn for An
droscoggin county. when the will of the
missing man will be contested.
Two sons, Leon and Irving. both of
who reside in Oregon, are the contest
ants and appellants.
Foster Lee Randall of Lewiston dis
appeared from his home in Lewiston
eight years ago this spring. az mysteri-

swallowed him. Not a trace of him has
been found since the day he called at
the office of McGillicuddy & Morey. at
torneys. and completed making a viii
and settled other business matters. At
torney Morey supposed he was going
home when he left the office.
For seven years his will lay in Mr..
MOreyS safe. without being opened.
At the expiration of that time. it was
prObated and found to bequeath one
dollar to each of his two sons. to pro-
resting place and for a $1,000 scholar
to be spent for the benefit of the col
legc as the directors saw tit. +. A.
Morey was named as executor. The
$1,000 to $1,000.
The two sons seek to break the will
on the ground that their father was
not of sound and dispensing mind.
The case was heard in the Cumber-
Land county probate court at the Sep
tembcr term, owing to Judge Drew be-
ing Interested as trustee of Bates
College. The hearing occupied two
days, Judge M.tttocks sitting in Auburn
