and addresses and the awarding OF
prizes and certificates. Thomas W.
Sidwell. principal OF the school, made
a farewell address 10 the pupils of the

BRIDEGROOMS IN ALL WEDDINGS.
BUT THEY DON'T COUNT;
JUST HELP A LITTLE.

SO much is sung in song and told in
story about the June bride that it does
seem as II II were time some one should
begin TO eXalt the dignity OF the bride
groom. There are just as many bride
grooms in June as there are brides.
There is present at every wedding cere-
mony OF bridegroom at least; and yet,
to read me accounts of these functions,
one would think that the only person
OF any Importance present was the bride,
gowned in white satin and with a veil
OF cloud-like tule adjoining her lovely
head.
No one notes that the brfdegrOom's
lawn tie is made into a bow of geomet-
rical precision; no one cares that eleven
other white lawn ties, mussed and for
saken. lie in a corner OF his bedroom.

There is nothing about his trousseau,

TOTAL LOSS,
British Schooner Wrecked

Capt. Scott and Crew Of Three Men
Escape In Dory.

Boothbay Harhor, Me-, Jan. 6.-The
two-masted schooner Frank and Ira,
(Br.) of st. John. N. B., Capt Scott,
was wrecked on the western side of
Fishermans island early today and
probably will be a total loss. Capt.
Scott and his crew of three men reach
ed the island in safety, but suffered
terribly from the cold.
The schooner was anchored off
Squirrel island during the heavy north
westerly gale. Her sails were torn
and her main boom carried away. Dur
ing the worst of the gale the anchor
chains parted and as the sails We're
useless she quickly drifted ashore. The
captain and crew put Off in their dory
and after struggling a half hour in
the bitter cold weather succeeded in
reaching the island.
They We're given shelter for the night
in a lobster fisherman's hut and today
rowed to Ram Island lighthouse, where
they were made comfortable until it
was considered safe to row into the
harbor.
Capt. Scott had the fingers on one
hand frozen and the others of his crew
were slightly frost bitten.
The schooner Frank and Ira is II
years old, about Is tons burden and
owned by n. c. Scott of st. John. She
was bound to ST. John with a cargo Of
clay.

"A steamer resembling the Mount

Liverpool for the past 10 days, was
Immediately dispatched to the assis-

This latter steamer is now 80 DAYS

is greatly relieved by this news from
Liverpool and the Canadian Pacific
Railway officials are very hopeful that
in n day or two they will be able to
announce that the missing ship with
her passengers and crew has been
safely towed to port. No details are as
yet available as to the cause Of delay
but it is generally believed to be due
to a breakdown of her machinery or
propeller.
Some excitement in shipping circles
was caused this afternoon by the report
that a steamer had been sighted towing
another off Brier island. near the en-
trance of the Bay of Fundy. When Brier
island was communicated with the ligh.
keeper said that two two-mssted steam
ers. bound up the bay, had passed at 3

was the Mount Royal, as the latter has

thought to be the Canadian Pacific

Browns Body
Found In Pond.

East Raymond. Me, Jan. 6.-The
body of Thomas ]. Brown, the farmer
who mysteriously disappeared from his
home before daylight Friday morning,
was found today in Panther pond. Of
ficers, upon being informed of the dis
covery OF the body, went to investigate
whether death was due to foul play or
suicide. 1t was found by William
Plummer
The pond Is about two and a half
miles from Browns home and it is
believed death was due to suicide. Mr..
Plummer has been searching for the
body since Mr.. Brown disappeared.
Shortly after dinner he found trail
leading to the pond and following it
discovered the ice broken through in
one place. He walked over the ice to a
point where the pond was not frozen
over and saw the body lying In about
II feet of water. He said he easily
recognized it as that of Mr.. Brown
Then he notified the selectmen.
As there is no coroner here it was
necessary to let the body remain in
the water until one arrived or the Sc
lectmen obtained permission to remove
