HOLMES SCHOLA OLARSHlPS
Awarded io Benjamin Webstel and D. N. Kiriassoh Saturday.

The board of agents of the Bron-
 son library fund met Saturday after
 noon and awarded the vacant Holmes
 scholarships at Yale to Benjamin
 Webster and D. NJ. Kirjassoff. These
 were the only applicants. The libra
 rian was authorized to expend q sum
 not 10 exceed $1,OOO ill establishing
 and maintaining branch library in
 Waterville. All the money with the exception of about $250 for ibra-
 rlan and some slight charges for transportation will he devoted to the purchases of books suitable for prospective patrons. The library
 furnishes books for the schools in
 Watervllle just the same as is done
 in other parts of the town, but owing to the distance from the main library it was deemed advisable to establish branch library there for the use of
 the elder people. This is an innoya- tion at the library and if 1t works
 well it is likely to be continued. Ow- ing to some misunderstanding some got the notion that the $5,0O0 appro- priated by the city for the Bronson library was to be spent in Water vile. This is not so. The city appro- priation was made upon representa- tion of the agents that in order to continue the work of supplying
 books to the public schools it was
 necessary that the city help out to the amount of $5,OO0. The board of finance recommended an appropria- | ton of S3,0OO but when the aldermen
 heard that this was not sufficient to
 keep up the good work in the schools they tackled on 5000 more.

FROM CoLoNEL's DAUGHTER
She Writes Letter Asking for Repeal
 of Canteen Law,

Washington. n. C.. Jan 14.-Amony the many letters and petitions reaci- ing Captain U. Walter Mitchell, of ing Captain !. Walter Mitchell, of gress to repeal the present laws pro- hibitlng a cantcen in tho United States nrIuy. Is one that has attracted unusual attention from those who have seen it. The writer is a lady in the army post at Monterey, Cal. She had first signed her name, but with pair of scissors hud cut 1t off tho bottom of the letter and then signed "A Colonel's Daughter" It Is as col- lows:
 T have always understood that the W. C. T. U. were the ores responsible for the abolition of the army canteen, and since we have lad garrison here, l have often wished I could get hold of some of these well-meaniny women and trot tlDem around tl,e main street of Monterey on pay day. "lf they thought for m instant that by abolishing the canteen they would eradicate drunkenness from the army they were mistaken, for. as mattc- of record and fact. they have 1t on their conscfences that conditions are q thousand times worse than thcIr widest dreams of fancy could paint them. "This is small town. but fyc saloons; then the soldiers came. anI now there are nearly thirty. Not only that, the soldiers are drugged, accorl- ing to the complaint made recently to their own colonel. They arc tempted in every way to spend their time in these places. Gambling de- vices of every sort. all mora or less dishonestly run. are tolerated and even taxed Dy the town trustees. There are 'fy ladies' of sorts in apart ments. either above CT next door 10 these saloons. and the streets at night are utterly unsafe for respect able women. And only five years ago this was tbc incest. simplest little Spanish town imaginable.
 Some of the better class soldiers. having formed small clubs where tlYy could meet and drink at least prrc beer and liquor. the saloon men appealed .o the town trustees and | uieu tf tfH ttutfhhitutNk DtIrtT. tst- ing. these clubs ruin the business of | the saloons
 .-so that Is what the W. c. T. Y. have accomplished. They have made q fat and easy living for the saloon keepers. Into their rockets goes a;I the money the soldiers get from Uu- cIe Sam. and indirectly from each and every citizen of this country. We are paying fot an army of drunken gamblers. weakened and ruined bv every sort of low vice. and the msr- chants of this plare who welcomed the advent Of the military with joy. have rcalize,i Co their sorrow that no other trade~man. excepting an oera- sional shoemaker ever sces anything of the SI5.eD that Is paid 10 the meu at inc Prpsilio on pay dar.
 Why sss these women try fo make over lot CT grown m men. Let them devote their energies to hriu.- ing up ttseir own families to oe de- cent ansl not to drink to excess. l. who have q haIf-grown boy find ,hr job an aE4pis enc. and if my ssp turns ont to be a gooI mxn. uifh honest prinripleS and clean life.
