Who Will Entertain Governors?

Some persons, Thursday, announced
that there would be meeting of the
Waterville Board of Trade, that even
Trade would be asked to give the sew
eral Governors who are expected to at
tend the Central Maine fair, a banquet
OIL the evening of Governors day"
which is to be, Thursday, of fair week.
No meeting of the board was held,
Thursday evening. and it is not now
likely that one will be held until 1t has
been made certain how many Cover
nors from the South and West will be
here.
The Waterville Board Of Trade has
been fidding in on occasions when peo-
pie from abroad want something good
to eat and it is probable the board will
arrange for the comfort of the Cover
nors. 1t is supposed the Governors are
coming here for the express purpose of
interesting the yeomenry Of this section
in the greatness of things in the South
and that they will urge the Maine
farmer to go South and grow up with
the country.
1t has been deemed best to give the
Governors all the opportunity in the
world to talk, but this is to be within
the narrow confines of Elks hall and to
men so deeply imbued with the spirit
of sticking to the old roof-tree that
anything the Governors may say will
not hurt.

Notes of n Company.

Ata recent meeting Of the members of
Co. H., Second Regiment, Inf'y., N. G..
S. NJ, of this city, a committee was
chosen for the purpose Of auditing the
accounts of the company from its date
of organization two years ago last
May. Upon returning from Camp
Cobb recently the members Of the COM
pany found the treasury to be empty
and as a natural consequence an as
sessment was made to defray the ac-
tual expenses ofthe camp.
Co. A. of the same regiment, sta
toned at Gardiner. is picking up a bit
and wants to challenge the Kennebec
valley champions to competitive drill.
H. boys will go in after some matters
of Importance. now pending settle
ment has been adjusted. Co. A.
will have to wait awhile for the ex-
hibition but in the meantime it may
be well to get in all the practice pos
sible.
Lieut.. Harold L. Pepper, company in
spector of rifle practice, is wearing
blisters on his hands. Lieut.. Pepper
was never much of a woodsman but
this summer he finds himself confront
ed with the problem of removing much
underground and a few small knolls at
the target range. Having no cash with
which to hire men accustomed to the
AK and shovel, the lieutenant has been
doing a good bit of digging and grub
bing himself

Circumstances Alter Cases,

"A case in which eXtenuating circum-
stances played a prominent part was
heard in the Waterville municipal
court, Friday morning. Joseph Lat
lippe, a character about town, was ar
raigned on the charge of assault the
complainant being Charles Pinkham
of Summer street. Mr.. and Mrs. Lat
lippe have been separated for several
months, the latter living at the home
of Pinkham. Mr.. and Mrs. Latlippe
have little boy Of which the former
is very fond. The evidence, Friday
morning, tended to establish beyond a
doubt that Joe had imbibed something
somewhere-just where and how did
not appear-and as soon as he became
we'll enthused he bethought him of the
youngster down on Summer street.
Going to the Pinkham house he
pulled the bell, an act which brought
Mrs. Joe to the door. Joe states that he
asked for the boy and that the wife
said the lad was away I'D street or
somewhere else which didn't make any
difference, according to her way of
thinking. She allowed that it would be
just as well if the boy didn't see his
fond parent that day, but Joe had a
few allowances of his own and pro-
ceeded to unburden his mind Conver-
sation was on line not perfectly ap-
plicable to high society. To make
things all the more interesting, Mrs.
Pinkham appeared at the door and be-
gan a number Of CALCULATIONS intended
to belittle Joe's professional standing
in the community to which Joe natur-
ally took exceptions.
Joe forgot his manners and said
things which had bad coloring and this
reached the ear of Mr.. Pinkham, who
had remained in the house as a sort of
reserve force. Charles dashed down the
stairs. out of the house and fiourished
his clinched fists in the face of Joe
About this time. Joe began to get mad
all through and he sailed into Charles,
bows on, putting his hammers into ac-
tion. But Charles was a better man
with his weapons than Joe and when
subject for the Stevens hospital. Then
Joe ran and he was closely pursued by
Patrolman Weymouth. Joe was run
down on Cool street and finally landed
in the basement of the City building.
The court considered that Joe may
have felt he had a cause for war and
as the evidence appeared to indicate
that all parties might have avoided
trouble, Joe was allowed to subscribe
the amount necessary to the payment
of the bill of costs. He paid.

Using Assets To Save Money.

Waterville can always be counted on
for strange things. The street COM
missioner is busy spending assets in or
der to save money. That my sound odd
and strange, even peculiar. but its the
real fact. Last year when the old ad-
ministration was about to go to the
polls, asking for reelection, in at
tempting to show what great improve
ments had been accomplished during
the prev Gus year. 1000 tons of crushed
rock were brought out as available as
sets Of the city. The crushed rock cost
s2500 and interest on that sum was be-
ing paid by the city. If the rock had
not been crushed, last year. the inter-
est would have been saved. Then again,
the rock lay upon private land on
which a rental of $50 per year is to be
paid. The crushed rock can be bought
for the same price, this year. and il
would be delivered nearer the scene of
street operations than where it is now
deposited. When the present city coun-
Gil came into office, as in years past.
there was a demand that College ave-
nue. be macadamized. The fact that the
city was paying interest on s250o worth
Of crushed rock and $50 rental for the
land on which it is deposited, was more
than any other one thing responsible
for the work being performed on COL
lege avenue.

made her acquaintance, this summer.
she was engaged as choir leader in the
Baptist church of that city and was
having very marked successes. He felt
certain that she was capable Of filling
a larger place and, consequently, Offer
ed her this position which she has
accepted.
Miss Davidson has received a very
thorough musical education. and has
been given every opportunity to culti-
vate her talent which money could pro-
vide She began her musical studies at
very early age, her first pupil be-
ing Miss Margeson, who was one OF
the most talented pupils of Field, 4
Famous Canadian teacher. After
three years study in the Arcadian
Seminary of Wolfville, N. S., she pur-
sued her work among prominent musi-
clans Of Germany. On becoming known
in foreign circles she was accepted as
pupil by Madam Carero, one of the
leaders Of her profession at the present
time in Berlin. She also made
speciality of harmony under Professor
Becker of that city.
Miss Davidson, in addition to these
qualifications possesses high Christian
ideals and is very prominent and in
fiuencial in church work and society.
She will take charge of the choir of the
Baptist church of this city which, In
itself, is no mean mark Of the respect
which is conceded to her ability. The
institution is certainly favored in hav-
ing been able to secure the services Of
this able teacher.

ing of Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Brewster
and Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Pullen of
Manchester. n. H.. proceeding up the
Almshouse road, went into the ditch
while travelling at a good rate of speed.
No one appears to know how and why
the accident occurred. The ladies and
gentlemen were conversing in a jovial
mood and the machine was speeding
along a smooth road when, without an
instant's warning the whole outfit went
over the shoulder of the road and into
the ditch, piling men and women in
an almost hopeless and helpless mix
up around the machine which was
completely overturned.
There were scratched faces, torn
dresses, bruised limbs. a sprained joint
or two and a disrupted luncheon ham,
per, but beyond these incidentals no
person in the party was so injured as
to be in need of a doctor. The machine
was but slightly damaged, but was out
Of the race for the day. 1t was brought
into the city under its own steam and
taken to the hospital.

all ready to devour the same. which had
not forgotten to bring their appetites
with them. The company became very
enthusiastic over some of the races
which gave credit to the women and
young ladies in the mastery way In
which they handled their boats. Many
long loud cheers were given the winning
crew. a fine westerly breeze came up
and every boat that could show bit of
canvas was out on the lake for a spin on

Rapidly Attainina Eame.

Harry Boyd halls from Waterville.
He has been in trouble now and then
and has become of so much Importance
to the police department the members
thereof are holding down every nook
and corner watching for him. Harry's
latest dodge to secure a team for an
afternoons entertainment is most in
teresting from several points Of view
and 1t is because of 1t he Is wanted by
the police. Thursday, the telephone in
the Office of the livery stable over
which Charles A. Hill presides. gave in
formation that the fellow at the other
en6-name being given. but 1t wasn't
Boyd-was to attend a funeral at Vas
salboro that afternoon. Would the liv-
eryman kindly send the team to GER
tain number Of certain street? A boy
was sent down with the team and as
he drew UP in front of the house. a
window up stairs was raised and a
voice said:
I'm not fully dressed. Hitch the
team to that post
The boy did as he was hidden and re-
turned to the stable. A little later the
regular hostler of the stable saw the
team being driven very fast about the
village of Fairfield. Two men occupied
the carriage. Upon returning to the
stable in this city. the hostler informed
the proprietor and the latter at once
began search for the outfit. Late,
Thursday evening, the hostler discov-
cred the team, then containing two
men and two ladies, a pair of rubbers
and a bottle of whiskey, cavorting
around on Charles street in this city.
The hostler caught the horse by the
mead. The women folks bounced over
the wheels followed by the two gentle
men. The rubbers and whiskey were
unable to escape. The hostler caught
one of the men. but he was not the
right fellow and he was allowed to de-
part.
The horse showed unmiStakable evil
dence of hard usage and the rubbers
are Of but little value. The police were
notified and a search of the town be-
gan. Boyd was followed here and there,
but managed to remain just out of
reach Of the blue coats. Friday morn
ing, Mr.. Hill made complaint to the
Judge of the municipal court and a
warrant was issued. Boyd has gained
a pauper residence here. but the
chances are he will not insist upon
such settlement.

a very amusing incident happened at
the station. Friday evening. when
train No. 80 pulled out. A certain
young man was fortunate enough to
have three young ladies come with him
to say good by, when, in their mer-
riment, the train started. As the fell
low jumped on the step he was trying
to shed tears, so one of the ladies ran
along by the side of the train wiping
the tears from his eyes in fun with her
kirchief. In some way it became caught
in his glasses and pulled them off, so
tnat they fell under the train. He
Jumped off and waited for the train to
