Highway Improvements.

Within the past few weeks two
much needed jobs of macadimizing
have been undertaken by Street
Commissioner George H. Webb, one
being completed last week and the
other nearly SO at the present time.
The completed piece of work is on
High Street, beginning at Madison
Avenue, and extending across the
railroad tracks to meet the hill on the
other side. This place has always
been wet, muddy hole in the spring
time long after our other streets were
dry; besides being very rough where
it had worn away and washed between
the car tracks. In dry times this
same locality became as full of dust
as with mud in wet weather, and the
hard smooth piece of road just com
pleted will be appreciated by all.
The other piece of work under con-
struction is the matchmaking of
Main Street ON the lower part of
Baptist Hill from Front street to the
foot of the hill. Although this road
had been macadamized before, it was
a number of years ago, and it being
upon steep hill and getting the
drainage from two hills, it had washed
out to a pretty rocky piece of road.
Its condition was not improved by the
removal of the ties of the old Nor
ridgewock Electric road on the east
side of the street which left this por-
tion of one of our most used high
ways in a condition much resembling
the corduroy roads of swampy coun-
try.
1t will be remembered that the
rest of the hill from Front Street to
the top was given a surface coating of
crushed rock and clay few years
ago, while two years ago one of the
finest pieces of work in the State was
done upon the same road across the
Island, SO that this last piece of work
will give the citizens of Skowhegan
piece of road from the bridges to the
top of Baptist hill which they may
we'll be be proud of.
1t is hoped that in the near future it
may be possible to put surface coat
ing of finely crushed rock on Water
from North street to the first bridge
to cover over the larger rocks from
the original matchmaking, the upper
surface of which has been taken
away by the heavy traffic and rains
since it was completed. If this could
be done it would give the town a
main thoroughfare from the top of
Eddy hill to the top of Baptist hill of
modern construction.

Mrs. Flavilla Williams.

Mrs. Flayilla Williams, widow Of
the late Ward S. Williams, died in
Bozeman, Montana, June 18th, at the
home of her daughter Mrs. Alice NJ.
Williams, from paralysis, after a
weeks illness. For some months she
was not at all strong but she has been
unusually well lately and her daugh-
ter hoped that she might at least live
through the summer. Only week
before she was able to be out, attend
ing church regularly and during the
recent state Epworth League conven-
ton in this city, she attended every
session but one, At the Sunday
morning session she had warnings Of
a stroke of paralysis, but soon rallied
and was able TO be out during the af-
ternoon and evening. Monday she
did not feel SO well and gradually
failed during the week, various parts
of her body becoming paralyzed.
The funeral was held from the First
NJ. E. church on Central Avenue,
Thursday afternoon at one O'Clock.
Mrs. Williams was born In North
Arson, Maine, September g, 1890.
After her marriage she resided for
several years in Boston, where her
husband was in business. In July
1879, she came with her husband to
Montana, settling on farm near Old
Gallatin city, where they resided for
about thirteen years. From there
they moved to Manhattan, where
Mr. Williams was in business and
about twelve years ago moved to
BoZeman. Mr.. Williams died in this
city, January 3, 1906. Mrs. Williams
is survived by three daughters and
one son, Mrs. Alice NJ. Williams and
Mrs. d. |. Breneman, both OF Boze-
man, who were with their mother
when she passed away; Mrs. A. H.
Keenan,, Tonapah, Nevada; Mr..
Ward S. Williams of New York City.
She is also survived by a number of
grandchildren and two sisters, Mrs.
T. NJ. Steward of North Arson, Maine,
and Mrs. Robert Dinsmore, Hudson,
Wisconsin, and by one brother, Mr.
Mark Bunker, of Melrose, Mass. = The

Rice at Weddings.

At wedding breakfast, according
TO What TO Eat a bridesmaid was
heard to tell the true reason for rice
being used at weddings. 1t was once
believed that II on their wedding jour
ney a newly welded couple saw q flock
OF doves it would mean a long life OF
peace and happiness 10 them. A bridal
party in passing so frightened flock
OF these timid birds that they few
away in great alarm, and TO avert the
evil omen that their fight signiried for
the newly married couple rice was
thrown in great quantities 10 lure the
birds back to the place from which
they had flown. This plan was sc
successful that the welded pair went
on their way rejoicing and lived ever
afterwnrd happy and prosperous life
Since then rice has been used as 8
symbol of good luck, peace and happi
ness at weddings.

EASY FOR M0RPHY.
Story of the Great Chess Master and a
Celebrated Painting.


Paul Morphy. on his visit to Phila-
delphia, was the guest OF clergyman
the Rev. Mr.. n. On his arrival at the
minister's home the chess master was
first ushered into the library. and his
attention was at once attracted by a
painting over the mantel. which was
fine copy OF a celebrated painting rep
resenting a game Of chess between a
young man and the devil, the stake be-
ing the young mans soul.
The artist had most graphically de-
picted the point in the game where II
was apparently the young mans move
and he seemed just to realize the fact
that he had lost the game. the agony OF
despair being shown In every line Of
his features and attitude, while the
devil from the opposite side OF the ia
Bile gloated over him with f1endish de-
light The position of the game appear
ed utterly hopeless for the young man,
and Mr.. H. said he had often set it up
and studied it with his chess friends
and all agreed the young mans game
was certainly lost.
Mr.. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied It for several minutes
when finally, turning to Mr.. H, be
said
II can win the game for the young
man"
Mr.. H. was of course astonished and
said, is II possiblef"
Mr.. Morphy replied, Get out the
men and board and let us look at IT,"
The position was set up, and in a
few rapid moves be demonstrated a
complete win for the young man, and
the devil was checkmated.

Variations Of Cards.

There are an enormous number OF
possible variations OF cards IN card
games. Every man when he takes VI
his cards at whist holds one out OF 635.-
ola, 559600 possible hands. The total
number of variations possible among
all players is so great as almost to ex
coed belief. II has been calculated that
If million men were TO be engaged
in dealing cards at the rate of one deal
every minute day and night for 100
100000 years they would have exhaust
ed only hundred -thousandth part OF
the variations Of the cards.

People who have recently passed
through different parts of the coun-
try, with open eyes, say that Govern
or Hughes of New York is looming up
as a very formidable candidate for
the Presidency. Mr.. Hughes has
simply been attending to his duties
as Governor, and has not done a
single act in the line of becoming a
candidate. But somehow the people
admire his intelligence, independence
and integrity, and he has found his
way down deep into their hearts. His
name is being mentioned for the
Presidency as often as any of the
avowed candidates.

The trades unions of Portland have
a black eye. Three weeks ago
through the instigation of fifteen
members of the Carpenters union,
some 800 carpenters went out upon g
strike because two or three non union
men had been given employment
The men return to work under pre-
cisely the same conditions as they
left and the result of the strike is 8
complete victory for the contractors
A little grain of common sense on the
part of the unions would have saved
them from this humiliation.

The least profit producing adver-
Using is that posted or painted on
rocks and fences and barns, along the
highway in the country. Take an
afternoon ride into the country, with
the highway defaced and disgraced by
this stuff, and you can't remember a
single one of them when you return
home. There may be a possible ex
ception i'll the case of huge lettering
on the broadside of a barn. News
paper and magazine advertising is the
only true advertising.

AS we have before remarked, legal
prohibition is making mighty advanc-
es in the nation. The liquor interests
of Georgia cities lose many millions
of dollars as the result of the prohibi-
tory law which the Legislature of that
state has just enacted. The over
whelming vote by which the law
went onto the statutes, and is the
face of an almost unlimited money
influence, shows the tremendous
sentiment which the prohibition
cause had in Georgia.
