Base Ball.
f. L. H. 8. 81; P. H. 8. 5.

Paris High School base ball team
opened the season Saturday afternoon
with defeat. Edward Little High Of
Auburn winning easily by score OF 81
to 5. For the first three innings 1t look
ed as though the game would be very
good one but in this inning occurred an
accident which seemed to unnerve the
whole team, as such accidents frequent
ly do, and in the next inning Edward
Little by good batting assisted by Paris
errors scored runs which were enough
to have won the game. The game was
called at the end of the seventh inning
to enable the Auburn team to return on
the afternoon train. Paris High has
certainly had more than its share of hard
luck this spring. To begin with there
were but four Of last years team left in
school, Fifield, Briggs, Penfold and
Record. Of these four only one, Fifield.
was able to play, the other three all
being on the sick list. This made 1t
necessary to organize a new team from
the younger players, and now with
Wheeler, who was playing third base
and was one of the most promising of
the young players, injured and out OF
the game the team will be weaker than
ever. However, a great effort will be
made to get some of the sick ones back
into the game and get the team on to its
feet so that it will be able to make
better showing in its next game which
will be with Lewiston High School on
the high school grounds Fast Day.

Death of Miss Olive M. Stuart.

South Paris was shocked Monday
morning by the announcement OF the
death of Miss Olive NJ. Stuart, about s
O'Clock. Miss Stuart has for two or
three years had occasional illnesses, and
was taken with an attack two or three
DAYS since, but it was not generally
known that her condition was serious
before the report of her death was heard.
Death was due to complications Origi-
mating in a gastric trouble.
Miss Stuart was 20 years of age, and
was the only child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Grinfill Stuart. She graduated from
South Paris High School in 1892, after
ward spent a year in the state normal
school at Gorham, and taught in the
Pleasant Street school for a year. For q
number of years she has been engaged
in the millinery business in parlors al
her home on High Street.
Miss Stuart had been for twelve years
member of the South Paris Congre
gational church, and an active worker
in the Christian Endeavor Society anc
all other lines of church work. She wal
a fine reader, and her services were fire
auently in demand for entertainments
She was a member of the Seneca Club
and its president at the time of he
death.
Bright, attractive, and always pleasant
kindly and cheerful, Miss Stuart filled
large place in the life of this community
and a sense of personal loss is felt by
very large circle, while the deepest sym
pathy of all is extended both to tn
stricken parents and to that group u
intimate friends who feel the most IL
tense grief at her seemingly untimel
death.
The funeral will be Thursday aftel
noon at 200 o'clock.

MURDER AND sUICIDE.-Two MEN
DEAD, WOMAN WILL RECOVER.

Sunday morning at East Waterford
Edward C. Hilton shot and instantly
killed George Young with shot gun
He then stabbed his wife several times
in the head with butcher knife, and
later killed himself with the shot gun,
evidently dying instantly. Mrs. Hilton
was badly cut about the head and chest,
but will recover.
The affair occurred at Hilton's house,
and was melted by the presence OF
Young in the house. Young, who work
ed in the saw mill, had formerly board
ed at the Hilton house, but Hilton be-
coming Jealous, he had for some time
been living elsewhere. Sunday morning
he carried some washing there for mrs.
Hilton to do. While she went to the
kitchen with it he sat down in the front
room. Hilton went TO a neighbours and
borrowed the gun, saying he wanted it
to shoot crows. Returning to the house
he shot Young, whether with or without
any words will never be known. He
then attacked his wife, as she entered
the room, with a butcher knife, and left
her apparently dead on the floor. Mrs.
Hilton, who was shamming unconscious
ness, got up as soon as he left the room
and ran to a neighbours. When others
reached the place, they found Hilton
had killed himself by tying a string to
the trigger of the gun and to stake,
putting the muzzle against his breast,
and pulling on the barrel.
Hilton was about 80 years OF age, and
his wife some fifteen years younger.
Young's home was in Hebron, where he
had a wife, but they have not lived to
yether of late.

Hungry Midnight Providers.

South Paris seems to have been visit
cd Tuesday night by a gang of maraud-
ers who preferred to select the food with
which to satisfy their hunger, rather
than to take it from the authorities or
accept a grudging hand-out from a
housewife at the side door. The pre-
ceding night the house of Rev. D. F.
Nelson at West Paris was entered, and
Mr.. Nelson's valuable watch was stolen.
Here the thieves apparently confined
their depredatiOns to the article OF food.
At Judge George A. Wilson's on
Maple Street it was discovered Wednes-
day morning that raid had been made
on the larder, and quite quantity OF
cooked food had been carried off. No
one of the family had heard anything
during the night. 1t is thought the
thieves got into cellar window. Later
in the day it was discovered that a
stock of sardines and other goods was
short some two dozen cans. Tho pro-
voking feature of this performance is
that the visitors had the discOurtesy
to break up q set of dishes by carrying
off a pudding, dish and all.
| At W. B. Russell's on Gothic Street
near the railroad crossing, the same
| night, the house was entered and mos
| of the cooked food in the house wal
carried off. Here they doubtless wen
into the cellar through the bulkheat
door, which was not locked.
Nothing but food has been missed Ii
either place.

BEST COUGH MEDICINE FOR Chill
DREN.

When you buy a cough medicine for
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence. You
want one that not only relieves but
cures. You want one that is unquestion-
ably harmless. You want one that is
pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy meets all of these conditions.
There is nothing so good for the coughs
and colds incident to childhood. 1t is
also certain preventive and cure for

from whooping cough when it is given:

Wheeler.HayeS.

A charming wedding was that at thu
home of the BRIDES parents in Auburn
Tuesday evening, when Alton e. Wheeler
of South Paris and Miss Edith II. Hayes
of Auburn were united in marriage
Only relatives and few intimate friends
were present.
The bridal couple stood under an arch
of evergreen in the parlor. The we'd
ding march from Lohengrin was played
by Mrs. Harriette Wing Carver. Master
Jacob Ham, a cousin of the bride, was
usher, and little Misses Ruth and
Florence Hayes, also her cousins, were
flower girls. The best man was Harry
NJ. Wheeler, brother of the groom, and
the bridesmaid was Miss Hayes, young
er sister of the bride. The bride was
gowned in sheer silk and aolienne, with
garnitures of rose point lace, and veil
caught with orange blossoms.
The single ring service was used, the
officiating clergyman being Rev. 1.
Taisne of the Sixth Street Congre-
gational church of Auburn.
An informal reception with refresh
ments followed the ceremony, and the
bridal couple left later in the evening
for tour in some direction known only
to themselves. They did not succeed
in getting away from the house undis-
covered, but by having a carriage in
waiting a short distance away eluded
their friends, and though the railroad
stations were watched. the manner and
direction of their departure from town
was not discovered. After their return
from their tour they will reside at South
Paris.
Both bride and groom are graduates
of Bates College in the class of 1899.
Mr.. Wheeler is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
P. E. Wheeler of South Paris. For sew
eral years after graduation from college
he was engaged in teaching, being at
different times principal of Paris Hill
Academy and of Mechanic Falls High
School, and sub-master of the high
school in Woburn, Mass. He studied
law in the Office of Hon. James S. Wright
of South Paris, and was last year adj
mitted to the bar and soon after became
a partner of Mr.. Wright, with whom he
is now engaged in the practice of law
under the firm name of Wright "
Wheeler. He is now and has been for
three years superintendent of schools in
the town of Paris.
Mrs. Wheeler, since graduating from
Bates has been engaged in teaching in
Edward Little High School, where she
has been very successful.
A large number of presents were re-
ceived from the many friends of the
parties. Both bride and groom are
highly esteemed and very popular with
ali who know them, and they give
promise of life not only of happiness
but of much usefulness in the world.
1t is cause for congratulation to this
community that they are to make their
home here

A funny incident of the enforcement
era happened in Old Town recently.
The sheriffs were raiding place and a
large crowd gathered, which led an ex-
cited individual to suspect that nre
was in progress and he pulled in fire
alarm. The arrival of the hosemen and
LAYING of the hose added greatly to the
excitement until it was learned that 1t
was not water that was wanted but

Schubert Ouartette Concert.

A fair audience, not so large as the
quality of the entertainment warranted,

rich, powerful apd we'll trained baritone,
shown with good effect in his selections.
Mrs. Gove's numbers covered wide
variety of emotions, and it is question
in the portrayal of which she was the
best.
The quartette gave some of their best
selections and were received by the au
dience with appreciation. Mrs. Briggs
at the organ was fully up to her stand
ard-and every one in the communit,
knows what that is. The highes
enthusiasm of the audience was evoked
by the violin playing of Mr.. Briggs
