| OUR STATE AND OUR FLAG.
(Read by Llewelyn A. Wadsworth at schoo
/ by request0
Dear state of Maine, our native home,
| Where'er thy loyal children roam,
In veal or woe on land or sea,
Their fond remembrance clings to thee.
From where the ocean waves dash high,
To sunset tints that paint the sky,
Land of Longfelow, Reed and Blaine,
We love thee, dear old state OF Maine.
| Long as thy pines shall wave plume,
| Or Mayfowers meath thy branches bloom,
| Let all our songs have this refrain
| God prosper thee, o, state OF Maine.
| Three cheers for the dear old banner,
From hearts that are warm and true,
| And tears for the boys Of Hiram,
| Who died meath Its stars Of blue.
| For the loyal hearts that persisted.
| Pierced by the leaden rain,
| For the hopes that were fondly cherished,
| That grew dim on the battle plain.
| We will twine the flowers of spring time,
| In wreaths for each hero brave.
| And the hands Of children shall lay them
On each patriot soldiers grave.
Then fling out the star-gemmed banner
| To the breeze and the sunshine bright,
And pray for our Fathers blessing
! On our country and the right.
| Wave on, from ocean to ocean,
| flag Of our country's pride,
| The flag of our hearts devotion,
| For which our brave boys died.

One of West Franklin's amateur
hunters, fearing that he might be shot,
purchased a web of sheeting and sewed
it upon his back. One day last week he
took to the bush and came upon COW
and calf moose. The moose, not being
accustomed to seeing dry goods store
In the wilderness, began to paw and bel
low furiously. The noise proved to be
more than the nerves of the hunter
could stand, and he started toward home
in a hurry.

FLOOD BREAKS WATER MAIN
FIRE THREATENS TO DESTROY
AN ENTIRE SECTION OF
PITTSEURG.

Pittsburg, March 16.-In fire that
threatened the entire Mount Wash
ington section of the city known as
the Twenty-se ward twenty-five
business structures and dwellings
were destroyed or damaged. causing a
loss that Is estimated at 100000.
Many of the dwellings were tenements
or apartment houses and while there
were no casualties there were many
narrow escapes from injury by falling
timbers and walls.
The structures were mostly of
frame construction and because OF q
break In the water main the only
available fighting material was chem
ical fire extinguishers and a bucket
brigade which was formed by the res
idents OF this section. Two attempts
were made to stop the flames by dy-
namiting buildings on either side. but
each time the wreckage caught fire.
It finally burned itself out A lighted
match dropped into rubbish Is said
to be the cause.

New York, March 1f.-The stcek
market during the day recovered EN-
phatically and with growing convic
tion as the day progressed from the
violent decentralization of the past two
days, Recovery had proceeded in
London before the opening here to
such an extent as to cause spas
modic rebound from the start. In the
struggle to control the market during
the first hour there was setback OF
about half of the opening gaiy- An
other sharp reaction occurred abou
noon, with the. forecast of weak
bank statement. The determined sup
port of the market proved effective
however, on all reactions and carried
prices eventually to wide advances
The days recoveries, while substan.
tial, by no means restored the full
measure of the previous losses.

CAUSE PURELY ACCIDENTAL.
telling of Russian Parliament House
CoIIapses.

st. Petersburg, March 16.-The CELL
where the lower house of parliament
meets, collapsed at a. m. and caused
widespread wreckage.
Though many rumors were c1rculat-
ed to the effect that the fall OF the
ceiling was the result of plot to in
terfere with the meeting of parliament
its purely accidental character was
clearly established An examination
showed that the nails and other fast
enings binding the ceilings to the raft
ers had not been replaced since the
time of Catherine II. and broke under
the extra weight Of the new decora-
tions. The entire section Of the plas-
tering and lathing covering the CEN
ter and left of the house and small
portion of the right fell to the floor
thirty feet below. A few heavy beams
and timbers were affected, but the
regular structure of the roof was not
injured. The aggregate weight OF the
ceiling material was so great that IN
its fall 1t twisted the massive bronze
electroliers In such way as to 1ndl
cate that q terrible catastrophe would
have resulted had the fall occurred a
few hours later during the session OF
the house. The places occupied by
the president and ministers were not
touched, but it was judged that few
members Of the Center party or of
the Left would have escaped death
or serious injury.

SLUMP IN PRICES MYSTiFY.
William Rockefeller Sees No Reason
for Panicky Feeling.

New York, March 16.-In response
to an inquiry from the Associated
Press Mr.. William Rockefeller said:
THE present astonishing decline In
the values of securities Is as much a
mystery to me as 1t can be to any one.
| know that public confidence has
been disturbed, but l do not think
that 1t should have been In any such
measure as to justify SO great a fall
In prices. With overwhelming pros
perity throughout the country there
certainly seems no adequate reason
for it. AS for myself and my asso-
ciates our faith in the future of the
country has not been shaken at all
and we have been buyers and not sell
ers throughout the past ten days.
Throughout these troubles we have
done and are doing all we can to re-
store and maintain public confidence
1t Is very clear to me that the people
who are throwing away their securi-
ties at panic prices will surely regret
1t within the next six months"

are apparent
Four massive bridges, the Sixteenth,
Ninth. Seventh and Sixth street struc-
lures, we're threatened with deatruc
ton owing to the heavy ice sorges
which came down the Allegheny river.
That the bridges were not swept away
Is considered marvellous by river men

will prevail for several days.
