COL8Y-MAINE GAME CANCELLED,
Colby Diamond Too Wet-Colicge
Tennis Team at Lewiston.

The Maine Colby game has been in
definitely postponed. 1t was scheduled
,or Wednesday afternoon at o'clock.
aud the time was set forward to 2
O'Clock this afternoon; but as the con-
dition of the Colby diamond is worse
tnan when the first pOstponainent was
made, the indefinite postponcment be-
came necessary.
The weather of the past few days
las been such that any baseball dia-
:nond would not be able to sustain I,
game, and this is particularly true of
the Colby diamond, which is newly laid
and is like pCrridge the instant it gets
a Wetting. On an ordinary turf dia-
:nond s;iwdust is usually sprnl<led or.
the damp spots, but such treatment of
IA clay Diamond would damage it ut
tcrly.
The matter of q date is a serious
one. All the college games are ar
ranged moths beforehand, and a rainy
lay seriously upscts the schedule.
Wednesdays and SATURDAYS and hOli-
days are usually the only available
times for home games. The only holt
day remaining in the present month
is Memorial day, and for obvious
reasons this cannot be taken. At pres
ent it looks as il the Watervillc game
between Colby and Maine would have
to take its place at the end of the
schedule. although Manager Til!son OF
Colby. and Munger Campbell of
Maine. are eudeavoring to come to an
Ggl cement.
The Colby tenEis team. consisting of
H. Nicely Jones '06, III. H. Bryant '05.
w. S. Stevens '06. and Arthur j. Pal
mer 'O6, are in Lewiston. where they
sil!,compete in-the intercollegiate ten
MS tournament to be held as soon at
the weather permits. The doubles will
be played by Jones and Bryant, Ste
vcns ana Palmer; the singles by Ste
vcns and Jones.

ducing Lockwood Taxes,
Inc Assessors Will Now Proceed to Settle
Matters in an Impartial WAY.

Another meeting of the citizors of
Waterviile was held in the Armorv
wednesday night, which was for tho
| purpose of ascertaining the rel, SON
timent of the city at large i'm res,,rd to
the proposed reduction of tho t,xos of
the Lockwood cotton mills of this citv
NJ PERSONS voted whose names were
| not hrst checked off from the ci,v's

the ballots counted showed that the

| taken at tie meeting held in the Ar
mory, April 10. 1905, to reduce the
Lockwood Cos. taxes from $4,000 to
$1,000, by vote of 754 to 3.
There Will be some, in spite of this
amusing difference of opinion as seen
i'll the above mentioned result to
claim that. us the friends of the Lock-
wood Co. had not cared to enter the
fight without it WAS because thew had
| become tired of settling a natter
which had already been settled in two
| mass meetings previously called.
| Therefore 1t will be claimed that there
| was no contention ut the polls ana
that, for this reason, the real voice of
| the citizens had not been heard.
| In view of the fact, however, that
at tn" meeting of May 3, the friends
OF the Lockwood Co.. by summoning ali
of their forces had succeeded in cast

sonoble to suppose that they resolved

GOOD HOMEMADE ciRoLE.
4 Shirred Belt of Shaded Silk Rib
bon Is Now a Modish
Accessory.

Shaded ribbons are liked for girdles
intended to be worn with light silk
blouses Yellow shading into cream.
blue and pink. running into the most
delicate tints of these colors, are very
dainty and smart for evening.
1t requires a yard of each Of three
shades of ribbon about five inches wide.
Satin taffeta or liberty satin is liked
best on account of the attractive way
in which either variety brushes into in
Vulnerable folds. The three strips of
ribbon are sewed together. and then
three rows of tiny sbirred tucks are run
directly down the back. Three more
are run al each side, SO that they slope
in at the bottom to give good lines to
the back of the waist, and if liked q
cluster of shirred tucks may be run at
the sides Only slender waists can
stand this suggestion of thickness, how
ever. so the woman whose waist meas
ure is more than 25 would best omit the
side shirrings.
Silk encased bones are put on the un-
der side of the rows of shirrings and the
gathers tucked to these. No lining Is
necessary in a girdle made after this
fashion. for the bones keep 1t properly
stretched.
Three tiny shirred tucks placed very
close together should be run directly
down the front. and one cluster each side
Of this run so that the two converge
toward the bottom will give sugges-
ton of thinness TO almost any waist.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

Lamb chops are delicious If dipped

When lighting gas stove 1t will
often give slight explosion and light

gas OF very quickly and on again. 1t
will then light properly without any
further trouble.
When putting away tea and coffee

BOTTLE GUN SHOOTS OIL.
Invention of a Brazilian Admiral to
Smooth the Surface Of
the Ocean.

While the process of quieting the
troubled waters by scattering oil on
the surface has been known and prac-
ticed for a long time, there are con-
stantly new means being devised for
the application of the oil. The latest
thing of this character is the bottle
gum" which has b N invented by
Vice Admiral Guimares, of the Brazil
ian navy. who proposes to scatter oil
on the water ahead of the boat by its
means.
The gun is a handy little piece
mounted on a pivot carriage, which
is bolted down to the deck, so that
there is no recoil. 1t is made Of
bronze, but the chamber at the breech
which contains the propelling charge
is of steel. The charge, in a brass
central-flre cylinder, is loaded into the
gun from the-rear, as it is a breech-
loading piece, with an interrupted
screw plug to close 1t.
The bore of the gun is of much
greater diameter than the powder
chamber, and the projectile, which is
nothing more than an ordinary wine
bottle filed with sawdust stepped in
oil. is entered at the muzzle and
rammed home The advantage of this
is obvious, since there would never
be any dificulty in providing sup
ply of these fragile projectiles.
When the gun is discharged the bot
tie is. of course, broken, and with Its
contents scattered over the water fol
considerable distance. II fired
ahead, to form a smooth pathway fol

discharged every five minutes, but Il
