caused by his recent illness, is a matter
of genuine regret to the friends of
Bates College. Prof. Rand has been
identified with Bates ever since its
foundation. He entered from the Maine
State Seminary in the fall of 1863. as a
member of the first class admitted to
the college, graduating with seven 9TH
erS in 1861 and receiving at that Com
mcncem2nt the first diploma ever Civ

Immediately after graduation he was

In 1876 he was elected professor of
mathematics at Bates College. which,
position he has held until the present
time. During his 81 years of service at
Bates. Prof. Rand has not only car
ried on unlided the work of the math
cmatics department. but has had gennr-
al supervision of the college buildings
and campus and has had under his
charge the college eating clubs at Sci

Every person who has been connected
with Bates must realize how much his
years Of faithful efficient. self-sacrific-

worth Of his noble example to those
who studied under him.

Now. when the children are confined

PARENTS to exercise the greatest care.
especially that their daughters do not
become pale and weak and gradually
sink into a decline which may darken
their whole lives. Overstudy and ner-
yousness. lack Of usual exercise, irregu-

that produce Il debility SO gradual in its

FORTUNATE ESCAPE.
Herbert Parlin Narrowly Escapes
Death at Railroad Station.

Herbert Parlin, night baggagemastel
and ticket agent at the Maine Contra
depot, vas severely injured at mid
night Wednesday while in the per-
Torrance of his duties being run down
by special train east while placing
his baggage and mail truck for pas
senger train which had whistled into
the station, going west. There was nc
eye witness TO the accident, but it APP
pears to be the wonderful thing that
Mr.. Parlin escaped with his life. ;
Train No .. due to leave for the west
at 1850, was one hour behind schedule
and this TACT was known to Parlin.
His mail truck remained at the station
until within a few minutes of the ex-
pected arrival. At what he considered
the proper time he wheeled his truck
down the line. The mail car is gener-
ally i'll the forward part of the train
and it is often necessary to go as far
south as Union street.
After train No. reached the station
Night Officer George Kilgore saw the
engineer alight from his cab with a
torch in hand. AS Kilgore approached
the engineer pointed to the mail
pouches and sacks scattered along the
rail for some distance, and then asked
for the night man. Kilgore had seen
him but a few minutes before and in
stantly it flashed upon him that the
eastbound special which passed only
minute before the arrival of the pas
senger. must have run him down.
Before they had finished their inves-
tigation Parlin crawled from under
the train from the west side near the
Baptist church. He staggered, asked
what had happened and fainting would
have fallen but for assistance. The
truck was partially demolished but was
found near by and the injured man was
at once taken to the baggage room.
DR.. MilIiken was called and made an
examination but found no bones brok-
en-. The injured man was|taken home
without further delay and suffered
much during the remainder of the
night. He was too daZed to give any
account of the accident.
1t is said that an accident of this kind
threatens night after night. Other night
men have told Of narrow escapes. The
engineer Of the special brought his
train to a stop after passing Winthrop
street and walked back to the depot. To
Officer Kilgore he said that he felt a
slight jar when his engine struck the
truck Some splinters flew up against
the cab window.
After being taken to his home Mr.
Parlin remained in a semi-conscious
condition for some time He received a
number of bruises on various parts of
the body. The most serious blow was
! on the abdomen and there is a suspi-
cion of internal injury. The special
passenger was bearing some officials of
the road from Portland to the scene of
wreck at Benton station.
