was fine one and many difficult plays
were made with the greatest ease. Lew

ing two singles and three-base-hit with
two errors by the Oxford outfield, clos
ing the inning with 3 rims which won
the game. 1t was not until the ninth

The Public Library.
PLEASE "READ, REFLECT, AND INWARD
LY DIGEST"

A word OF explanation is perhaps nee
essary with reference to the new rules
governing the public library. 1t will be
readily understood that since the library
was made free, there has been large
increase in patronage, so, to avoid con.
fusion and give to all an equal amount OF
privilege and attention, thus proving the
worth and benefit of the library to It's
patrons, it is essential that the room be
kept as quiet as practicable. The notices
in evidence, mo talking aloud" do not
mean that borrowers may not ask all
necessary questions of the librarian, but
that it should be done as quietly as con-
venient, and that all unnecessary CONVEX.
satiOn and discussion should be-avOided.
These rules govern all large Libraries. II
is but just to say that our boys and girls
have taken very kindly and readily to
the new rules. Their quiet department
while in the room has been very crafty
ing to all concerned. 1t would be ex-
tremely difficult for borrowers and IL
brarian to select books and record their
numbers amid the confusion inevitable
were talking allowed. If one may talk,
all may talk and all talk together.
The SeHeca Club has always taken an
active int. est in the affairs of the library.
To make the room more comfortable and
attractive, the club has made some
necessary repairs and improvements in
the room, and added new furniture; also
provided many of the popular magazines
and other literature for the benefit of
the public generally. To this end the
Seneca Club has made generous dOna-
tions, and received voluntary contribu-
tons from interested citizens.
1t is obvious that the motive of the
Seneca Club is a purely disinterested
motive. Its members are not asking or
getting any benefit except such as &C
crues to all alike. That the reading
room, as well as the library, is an acqui-
sition of decided benefit to the village
goes without saying. All are cordially
welcome to both library and reading
room. The librarian wishes to be of all
possible service within her province and
power only on condition that the public
endeavor, as in Scripture phraseology,
That ye study to be quiet and to do your
own business. ALICE B. KNIGHT.

The Base Ball Season Peters Out
The following letter, which explains
itself, was received at the Democrat
Office before the game of Saturday:
OXFORD, Me-, Sept. %, 1905.
Editor Democrat:
Will you please publish in your paper
the following announcement:
at was announced from the judges
stand at the Oxford County fair that
there would be a base ball game on the
fair grounds Saturday, Sept. %, between
the Oxford and Lewiston teams. This
is mistake as the Oxford team has dis
banded for the season, and the team that
will play the Lewistons will be picked
up team"
Your publication of this will greatly
oblige, Yours truly,
G.. l.. FARNHAM,
Mgr. Oxford Base Ball Club.
The game above referred to duly
closed the season Saturday afternoon
and was an exhibition, not only of some
good ball playing, but also of "ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain. u
1t very appropriately ended in fizzle
with the score to 7, in the ninth in
ming. Whence the advertised $50 purse
came, and whittier it went, are things
that no Teller can find out.
