SUSPENDS PUBLICATION.
Chicago Chronicle Proves Unprofitabe
and Is Discontinued.

Chicago, May 31.-The Chicago
Chronicle this morning announces that
it will cease publication with this is
sue owing to the fact that the paper
has been Improbable for sometime.

editor, H. w. Seymour, follows:

Gle was No. of Volume 10.

ST. oMER coMMANDERY.
Members Are Taking Great Interest In
Annual Pilgrimage.

The members of st. Omer Comman-
derry of Waterville are looking forward
with great deal of anticipation to
their annual st. Johns Day pilgrimage,
which will be taken this year to Lew
iston. OF the four Communicates which
will participate the combined member
ship is 1900. 1t is usually the case that
about two-thirds of the members go on
a pilgrimage. If the average is main
tanned this year. this means that there
will be 500 men in line. The Water
vile knights will probably leave the
city on special cars attached to the
train for Lewiston at a. NJ. The rail-
road rates, which are very reasonable,
may be learned by consulting Sir w. P.
Rodge of Waterville. Sir George Foster
Of Oakland. Sir T.. G. Herrin of Fair
field, Sir L. l.. Besse of Clinton.

BoWDoIN-coLBY TODAY.
Coach Rawson and Capt. Dwyer Are
Hoping for Warm Day.

The Colby team got onto the dia-
mond last night for the first time this
week for practice. Every afternoon 1t
has been so cold and rainy that prac-
tice was impossible. Coach Rawson
made the best of his opportunity and
kept the team out from until s
o'clock. He had the second squad out
and kept the first team men hard at
work all the time. There had been
several changes in the lineup planned
for tomorrow's game with Bowdoin
but whether they will be made with
no opportunity for previous practice
remains to be seen. Shaw will prob
ably pitch and Good will be on third.
Cotton or Mathews will be at short.
"Mose" will be at his old station at
second while Buker will hold down the
initial sack. The outfield is uncertain.
Tribou will be in left but as to who
will play the other two fields will de-
pend upon how the infield is made up.
The team is in good condition. Cup
till who has been out of the game on
account of his ankle is back again.
Shaw is in better condition than he
has been since the Massachusetts trip.
Captain Dwycr isn't saying anything
about the game but is only hoping for
a pleasant warm day in order that his
team may play the best game that is
in them. The Colby men realize that
everything depends upon tomorrow's
game and that if Bowdoin wins ;ill
hopes of winning the championship
are gone. AS result they will put up
the best fight that is in them and hope
that if the luck breaks even to win to-

The propositions were given full con-
sideratiOn at the conference Of work
ers i'll this city Thursday and Friday
The whole ground was gone over an(
all the available evidence canvassed
The conference finally adopted the fol
lowing recommendations:
"Mambcrs- That where for any spe.

church cannot join the remaining
church by the ordinary method, the!
shall DC received as affiliated member
with full privilege.
"Propcrty-Property and funds tina

The final adjournment was taken a

the chairman and the secretary.
1t is evident that this is one of til
most important conferences ever hel

This committee has no legislativ
