Fire Tuesday Morning.

The residence of w. H. Eaton
on Burlington street was the scene
of a fierce confagration at an early
hour Tuesday morning. The fire.
men made good time in getting
their apparatus to the burning
building, but it was found that no
connection for water could be made
nearer than the St. Johns motel,
and much valuable time was lost
in connecting the two pieces of
hose in order to reach the flames.
They did good work however,
and saved a portion of the building,
which was burning in great shape.
The fire was caused by a defec-
tive hue. The Eaton family enter
tanned a number Of young folks
Monday evening, and after seeing
them safely home, built up a little
fire before retiring. The first inti-
nation they had of the disaster
was the sound of falling ceiling,
and the family were barely able to
escape in their night clothes. The
house was almost totally destroyed
and practically all the furniture.
Mr.. Eaton had 5000 in currency
hid under the carpet, and this to-
gether with a diamond pin was
also lost. The total loss is estina-
ted to be about $1,000 and insur-
ance $1,000.
This conflagration proved the
necessity of fire hydrant some
where between the city hall and the
river.

In almost every daily paper one
picks up nowadays is an account
of some demcntcd rascal shooting
either his wife or his sweetheart and
then killing himself. 1t would be
a great blessing If the murderous
one in each case would kill him
self first.

St. Johns should have an opera
house. Some enterprising citizen
with little capital to invest would
no doubt make a paying thing Of it
If he would erect modernly APP
pointed structure of this nature.
The ride TO Portland is such a long
and tiresome one that a person loses
half the enjoyment of play there
by thinking Of the weary journey
home afterwards. BY all means
let us have an opera house.

The dumping ground question is
getting to be a serious one with the
people of St. Johns. The city dads
have spent so much time and worry
over the proposition that II causes
a deep groan of anguish whenever
the subject is mentioned in the cotin.
Gil chamber But the question must
be settled in some manner and with
out much further delay. The citi-
lens are ordered to keep their back
yards clean, but are not told where
to throw the rubbish Many sug-
gcstions have been advanced, but
no feasible one has been announced
thus far, unless IL he the plan pro
posed by a citizen yesterday. His
idea is for the city to purchase a
plot Of ground adjoining the slough
aud cast all the of fallings Of the
city there until creamatory can
be constructed. lie says the pack.
ng plant will soon be raising a
stencil along the slough aud a little
more would not make il any worse
and perhaps furnish little variety
that might not come amiss. As TO
the feasibility OF this plan we are
not prepared to state, but one thing
is certain, the problem will have to
be solved. II cannot be evaded.

thirty days, as mark of respect to our
dear Sister.

The Commencement Exercises.

The tenth annual commencement ex-
ercises of the Tionests High School at the
court house Tuesday night were we'll at
tended and an interesting program was
presented. Rev. W. o. Calhoun gave the
invocation. The Glass History by Miss
Merle Dunn, an Grafton on Hamilton"
by Joseph Weaver, and the Class Proph-
ecy by Walter Dunham, showed marked
ability in preparation and careful train
ing in deliverance, and elected the praise
of the large audience. A very interest
ing address on "Our Inberitances" was
given by DR.. John Ballentine, professor
of Greek and Latin in the Clarion State
Normal School. The doctor is very
pleasing speaker and the audience was
more than pleased with his practical and
instructive address. The presentation of
diplomas by DR.. J. G. Dunn, president of
the Board of Education, was one of the
pleasing features of the evening. The
genial doctor in his usual happy manner
presented the diplomas. In this he was
assisted by Master Lester Weaver as
page. Little Miss Coripne Wyman acted
as flower girl. These little folks present
ed charming appearance and carried off
their honors very gracefully. The bene-
dicton by Rev. Ii. D. Call completed the
program, and the class of 'O7 passed into
history.
The program was somewhat of de-
parture from former occasions, only three
members of the class being assigned sub
ects. The other members of the class
also occupied chairs on the stage and are
as follows Misses Clare Henry, Hazel
Fones, Maud Head, Mary Sutley, and
Messrs. John Osgood, Earl Maxwell, Roy
Noble and Robert Huling.
The committee on decorations, Misses
Blanche Pesse, Katharine Osgood, Bess
Byers, and Mr.. C. F. Felt, assisted by the
members of the class, had very tastefully
decorated the stage, using bunting, ferns,
flowers, etc., to carry out the class colors,
green and white. The class motto, "Non
schole sed vite," was prominent feat
ure of the decorations, being displayed in
the class colors in large triangle. Ex'
celent music was furnished for the occa-
sion by Colemsn's s orchestra, ofTitusville.
The sermon to the graduates, a very
practical and helpful discourse, was de-
livered by Rev. W. .. Calhoun, Sunday
evening, in the Presbyterian church
His text was Proverbs 3;l3.l4: "Happy
is the man that findeth wisdom, and the
man that getteth understanding. For the
merchandise of it is better than the mer-
chandise of silver, and the gain thereof
than pold.u
