 The channel ought to be maintain ed, and the Government ought to come to the rescue, and I belive this will be done by an act of Congress. have great faith in the Government, and know what they have done in the past. and have confidence that they will take care of Pine Bluff. So my good friend, you must not be-

Base Ball.
NORWAY I: WEST PARIS |.

NORWAl Z Well L.
In one of the poorest games of the
season Norway easily defeated West
Paris Saturday. The errors were nearly
all on easy chances and inexcusable
The work of the West Paris team was
stupid, especially in their base running.
Each team scored one run in the open
ing inning, West Paris earning theirs on
two singles and double after two mer
were out, while hit, an error and a
pass ball gave Norway a run which they
ought not to have had. Young's triple
and fielder's choice earned Norway a
run in second. Norway scored four
runs in the fourth through the generosi.
ty of the umpire. With men on second
and third and two men out, Horne called
a foul in left field fair, two men scoring.
This put the West Paris team into the
air, aud two more runs were scored be-
fore the side was retired. Norway's
last run came in the sixth on double
and single.
The game was without fielding feat
ures, and about all the fun the crowd
got out of it came by Ginning the um-
pire and one or two of the Norway play
ers who were foolish enough to take
notice of some of their remarks. Irving
Pike of Norway played his first game
for West Paris and will play with them
regularly from now on.

Red Cross Appeal.

The disaster caused by the destructive
floods in the Southern States OF the
Union has been made known through
the public press. Few of our citizens,
however, are fully aware of the terrible
distress and need resulting therefrom to
the people of the region affected. I'm
mediate relief is necessary, and the de-
mand greater than local means can sup
ply. A call is therefore made by the
National Red Cross for pecuniary aid for
these sufferers, to be administered
through its agencies.
The Maine Branch of the Red Cross
accordingly hereby makes appeal to our
citizens for money contributions to meet
this exigency. The need is urgent. 1t
is hoped that the response will be gen.
erous; and in order to be effective, it
must be prompt.
Contributions should be sent to Col.
F. Z. Boothby, No. 23S, st. John Street,
Portland, Maine.
The several county organizations of
the Maine Branch OF the Red Cross are
requested to take this matter up In their
respective communities.

..Miss PettIcoats. )" a Good Play.


There was a good house at Norway
Opera House Wednesday evening, for
the first of the seasons plays, which
was "Miss Petticoats." The story OF
Miss Petticoats, as is evident to all who
have read 1t, Is one that is particularly
well adapted to dramatization, and
though numerous changes from the
book are necessary in the drama, they
but add to the dramatic interest of the
story.
The version of "Miss Petticcats" pre-
sented by Atkinson & Thatcher is the
dramatization of Neil Twomey, and I'M
der his personal direction, he himself
playing the part of Rev. Ralph Harding.
The title role of Agatha Renter (Miss
Petticoats) was played by Florence Farr.
While at times little strained in man
ner, these two leading parts were as a
whole splendidly portrayed, and this
was especially the case At the close of
the third act, where the real climax OF
the action comes.
A supporting company without a
weak spot In 1t made presentation OF
the play in which there was little to
criticise, and the audience was alter
nately moved to tears and laughter by
the intense human interest OF the story.
A good play, we'll played, is the uni:
versal verdict.

hotel at Foxcroft, committed suicide in
the Jail Aug. Goth by cutting his throat
with razor which he seized while

two minutes after the deed. Woodbury.

jury at the September term. His wife's
body; it will be remembered, was found
in an upper room of the hotel which bad
been closed and locked up shortly after
the woman disappeared last winter. He
was known to have been jealous of the
woman and 1t was understood he return

ed as practically confession of guilt,
while Others say that Woodbury's mind
has shown signs of weakening during
his confinement.

In my meanderings about this part OF
Buckfield l find the remains OF some
seven or eight old brick yards, some oil
which were in full blast when my years
were young. There were two, at least,
near Halls Bridge, two on the Fernald
place, now owned by Herbert Irish, one
on the Philbrick place, otherwise the
Rob Dean farm, now the Buck farm,
one on the VIM. Robinson farm and one
on the Lenard Russell farm. ! doubt If
a brick has been made in town for half
century, and yet there is plenty OF ma
terial.
Brick making is one OF the lost arts.
It has gone with the big wheel and the
little wheel, the fax break and the
hetchel, and other things too numerous
to name. o, guess we are climbing all
right. It would be somewhat depress-
ing had there been no advancement
since the first man was started on his
career. The world is school room.

patience, must be little bit Disguised
