tonight the jury in the Capitol graft
case rendered a verdict of guilty. as to

verdict was given at two minutes after
the jury came in 1t had been out
since 1914. The verdict was received
in silence and when announced Judge

ment made by Mr.. Fellows and one
that seemed to impress itself upon his
auditors, Judging from the counte-
nances which appeared to be firmly set
as in study, was the following:
For so years there has been a mad
rush from our Eastern states to the
West and from Western states farther
West. During that time there has been
also large emigration from Europe.
At first this was among all classes from
the European country but today things
have changed. We don't hear now of
any prosperous German or Frenchman,
Swiss or Englishman coming to the
Unitei States. When they did come
here it was by reason Of the fact that
conditions in their own homes We're
not such as to encourage them to re-
main at home"
Mr.. Fellows went on to state that as
soon as the countries of Europe thor
OuShiy graSped the idea of industrial
education conditions in those countries
began TO improve and continuing to i'm
prove made it possible for &; man or a
woman to be peaceful, prosperous and
happy in their native land. For years
the tide OF emigration had been set
ting West from our New England
shore. The great West has been fully
developed by Eastern brain and Drawn.
The tide has ceased flowing that way.
To make conditions better in Eastern
states means to keep the Eastern peo-
pie in their own home or on their ma
tive heath. Pillsbury and Washburn
made the city of Minneapolis what it is
ana they are natives of Maine.
Mr.. Fellows then gave some sta
tistics showing the percentage of il
literacy in those countries which have
not improved from an industrial point
Of view or where industrial education
has not become one of the fundamen-
tai principals in the maintaining and
urbuilding of those countries

Rev. w. Chester Hyde delivered an
intensely interesting lecture upon the
abuse of the negroes of the Congo Free
State by white soldiers in charge of
the rubber plantations. The lecture
was illustrated by some very fine slides
showing views of African scenes ana
people. Mr.. Hyde went to Africa in
1889 and gave an account of the work
of the missionaries and their native
assistants and of his life there.
He spoke Interestingly of the many
good qualities possessed by the natives
which was being brought out and de-

THE EVENING SCHOOL
For Greeks and Syrians Closes After
Very Satisfactory Term.

The evening school for the Greek
and Syrian people of the city which
has been in operation since September
last, came to a close last evening. The
attendance from the first night has
been most satisfactory, there having
been from 90 to so pupils present five
nights out of the week. Inasmuch as
these people are obliged to accept en-
plOyment, sometimes by day and Of
tentimes by night, the enrolment has
met the expectations of those who
planned for and made possible this
means of giving the foreign peoples of
Waterville an opportunity to get fair
knowledge of the English language.
The results from the instruction that
has been given have also been salts
factory In September there were but
few Greeks and Syrians in the city who
could speak the English language. and
this fact gave rise to n misunderStand-
ing Of American laws and customs:
through the instruction that has been
given these people, great number Of
them can now read and write, while
they are in better touch with the GUS
toms and laws. The scope Of the in
ing from books, but on Sunday after
Moons social meetings have been held,
addressed by such men as President
White Of Colby, Hon. Horace Purinton,
Hon. s. S. Brown, and others. the talks
being along the line of advice as to
the best ways of becoming good and
faithful American citizens.
The two teachers in this school have
been Howard A. Tribou, Colby '0S' and
Wilbur Cole. Colby II. They have
been most efficient teachers and have
taken personal interest in the students
that have come under their instruc-
ton. At the outset it was necessary
to work through Greek and Syrian in
terpreters, but in the last two months
or more the Interpretation has not beef,
necessary, the pupils reading from
books furnished by the city and doing
blackboard work
The school was undertaken by the
executive committee of the Social
Union, the members feeling that the
evening instruction given to the for
eign people would tend most rapidly
to make them better citizens, but a
part of the expense has been borne by
the Waterville School Board Such
money as has been appropriated in this
work has been well spent. and Will
yield the city valuable returns.
