agreed to produce it this season in
conjunction with his repertoire of
Shakespearean plays. After reading
the play in its complete form he was

edy Mr.. Nhiteside plays Il dual role

from head to foot he requires the
services OF six men working simulta-
neously to assist him. and 10 duplf-

difficult change than that made in

LoWDEN-YATEs BATTLE FIERCE
Former Has Moline-kock Island
Contested Ground Prom
Now On.

Whether there is to be one or two
county conventions is the all-impor-
tant question to be determined by the
republican county central committee
at its meeting called at the Harper
house at IL o'clock tomorrow morn
ing
The country members are under
stood to favor holding but one, and
they will rule unless the aspirants for
place on the county ticket who have
gotten into the running late and have
not had time to lay their wires bring
to bear sufficient pressure to induce
an opposite decision.
But the county ticket is Of insig
nificant Importance compared to the
gubernatorial Endorsement The bat
tie IS on in earnest between the Yates
and Sherman-Lowden factions for
control. 1t is conceded that Lowden
has captured Moline, and Rock Island
viii be the contested territory from
now until the convention.
Sherman with LOwden.
There is some Deneen sentiment.
but not enough to worry either of the
two contending factions. Sherman os-
tensibly is playing a lone hand, but
the information from the inside is
that he has agreed to deliver LowCen
when the state contention is reached.
Hence the fight in Rock Island coun-
ty practically has narrowed down to
ates and Lowden.
The former has the support of his
aPpointees and such of their friends
rs they can rally about them. Billy
Baker and Jimmie McGarvev are here
from Peoria and Springfield. where
they hold down state jobs. uniting
with the home guards, the latter in

McGarvey are charged with delivering
the delegates from the First and Sec
ond' wards. and the other sections of
the city have been apportioned among
tie other leaders.
They have been sitting up nights of
late planning the campaign, but the
Lowden forces have been keeping
close on their trail. The city admin
istration. led by Mayor McConochie
and Chief Miller. is playing a promi-
nent part i'm the contest against the

called March 10. thereby

Frank P. Bennett, II.

The Portland Sunday Times OF JAN 24th
printed pictures and facts regarding some
twenty members of the Massachusetts Leg
islature for the present year who are ma
tives of Maine. One of them was born in
Waldo county, and the Times gives this
sketch of him:
Frank P. Bennett, Jr., Republican, of
Saugus, was born in Palermo, Dec. 80, 1878.
His mothers maiden name was Clark and
was a descendant of the Greedy family, well
known in that section of Waldo county
The farm on which Mr.. Bennett was born
had been in the Greedy family for genera
tions, since il was settled by his original
ancestors who came over from England.
Recently the family name has run out and
the farm has been sold. Mr.. Bennett has
lived i'll Massachusetts, practically all his
life. He is a journalist on the Wool & Cot
ton Reporter, d paper owned by his father.
He has travelled through Maine consider
ably and is well known to people in the
state. He is a graduate of the Everett
public schools and a graduate of Harvard
college. He is a sergeant in the Second
corps of cadets of Salem. This is Mr.. Ben
nett's first year in the house, but his father
had been very prominent member in for
mer years and has been candidate for
speaker on different occasions.

which were rapidly taken. The sewer
system cost $4,000.
Wofville is a town, and not a city,
though having a mayor, councilmen,
ETC., for the same reason that Liver
pool has been a town for centuries,
while London is city because it has a
resident Bishop of the Episcopal church.

The college, the boys academy and
the Ladies' Female Seminary, are very
prosperous. Nearly year ago Mr..
Rockefeller was approached by the
President, Rev. DR.. Trotter. The re-
suit was that if the Baptists of the
Maritime Provinces, who founded and
who support these institutions, would
by January, 1905, raise 100000, Mr..
Rockefeller would duplicate the
amount. The President is now at
work among the churches and is meet
ing with excellent success. The sum
will be raised.
The head teacher of piano in the
Ladies Seminary is Prof G. P Maxim,
who came here last September He has
lately been engaged to take charge of
the organ and choir in the Baptist
church. He is from Maine, and Maine
and Maxim are very suggestive; and it
is needless to say that he is a big Maxim
gun as far as music is concerned. With
his large choir and the training he
gives them. you can imagine the quail
ity of music in the Baptist church. On
q recent Friday evening he gave an
organ recital. The church was packed,
galleries and all; many standing in the
aisles. 1t is to be regretted that the
former organist, a most excellent lady
has taken offence at the change. and
she and her family have gone to the

TEE EIM1RA PRISON CAMP.
Recollections of Forty Years Ago.

Recollections of Forty Years Ago.
During the winter, spring and sum-
mer of 1868 was stationed at Elmira,
n. Y, where those who read history
know was Union prison camp in
which some $4,000 Confederate prison.
ers were confined. At this late day it
may not be out of place to give little
description of this camp, in contrast to
Andersonville, where so many of our
boys were starved and died. Some
twenty acres were enclosed by fence
about 20 feet high with walk on the
outside just high enough to allow the
| sentries to look over into the camp,
with sentry boxes at intervals for use
in stormy weather. There were about
| 500 men with two sections of battery
for guard; and l was one of twelve
non-commissioned officers as police
for the inside of the camp at night. This
was the total guard for the camp.
The prisoners had good quarters,
good rations and good clothing. l we'll
remember the morning the news was
received at the camp of the surrender
of Lee; how they threw up their caps
and cheered, and said, Nov we will
go home to come back no more" The
most of them had had fighting enough.
They were brought in ragged and dirty
"a hard-looking crowd.
When the sad news came of the as
sassination of President Lincoln they
said it was no friend of theirs had
done the deed. One private would take
T! fifteen or twenty of them out of camp
to gather wood and they never tried to
get away.
, shall never forget the day when the
police force Of twelve men, who had be-
come strongly attached to each other,
left for their homes. They were noble
set of men (at least eleven of them
were) and when good byes were said
tears filled the eyes of many of them. l
was the only one from Maine, and never
expected any of us would meet again
on earth; but through the National
Tribune | got the addresses of two Of
them, both holding the position of
Sheriff in New York State.
AS | sit by the fire this cold night
and scribble these lines my mind goes
back to the days when as a boy l left
my home in old Prospect to join the
army. How pleasant it is to meet the
''boys" in the Grand Army halls at an
association meeting and live the days
over again. We had little meeting in
Searsport recently; sometimes we call
them love feasts. Our ranks are fast
growing thinner We numbered fully
thousand men when we were muster
ed in.
Comrades, let us meet as often as we
can. Soon the places that know us will
know us no more Let us live so that
when we go ii may be said of us, ''well
done good and faithful servant" S.

HIS ssth BIRTHDAY.

Hon. Joseph A. Holman of Augusta, who
for almost quarter of century occupied
the editorial chair of the Maine Farmer,
recently passed his Ssth birthday, and
among the tributes of love and esteem re-
ceived by him were the following poems:
Dedicated to Mr.. Joseph Holman ON His
Eighty-eighth Birthday
The strong-winged years have helped thee
climb
To heights where visions wait;-
The years that strike, with silver chime,
Twice forty bells and eight. 80
The white-winged years have done their
part,
In tiower-time and in snow,
To make peace blossom in thine heart,
Fair as the lilies blow.
The gracious years! the kindly years!
How regal each one stands.
Their music still is in thine ears,
Their gifts are in thine hands.
Their gifts ?-Not all-for some had wings.
All yet for thee they wait,
Among those other treasured things,
Within the Open Gate.
The Open Gate that filings its light
Full on thine upward way.
The years have brought thee clearer sight,
But though so full thine Heavenly store,
Thou still hast much on EARTH
May God postpone, for decades more,
Thy spirits higher birth.
Our hearts rep Eat the legend sweet
The happy bells relate,
Each golden line a mellow chime
Twice forty bells and eight.
May each new bell, from year to year,
Peal sweeter than the last,
And mayst thou hear a Paean clear,
When century chimes are past.

IN AID OF GOOD ROADS.
Two Bills in Congress for Federal Assist
ance.


Two bills are now pending before
Congress extending government aid to
the construction of good roads. One
of them is known as the Latimer bill,
introduced by Senator Latimer of South
Carolina, and the other as the Brown
low-Gallinger bill, being introduced in
the House by Representative Brown
low OF Tennessee, and in the Senate by
Senator Galllnger of New Hampshire.
The Legislatures of a number of
States, some Democratic and some Re
publican, have Endorsed the movement,
and instructed their senators and mem
berS to support whichever bill they con
slider the better. While the bills differ
somewhat in detail, the principle is the
same-that where a county or State
approprlates money to he expended in
improving its roads the government
Shall allot an equal sum for such i'm
provements on condition that The roads
Shall be constructed under the super.
VISION OF the government. and shall
thereafter be maintained by the State
OF county constructing them.
Both bills propose that up to the ex-
tent Of $4,000, 600 per year for three
years the expense shall be divided be-
tween the general government and the
state or local government, so that where
State now appropriates $500, 600
for the Improvement of its roads it
would be allotted $500, 900 from the
general treasury, and where a county
spends $4,000 it would be allowed $40
600 from the general treasury under
the conditions above set forth.
