The Woman's Club.

The regular meeting of the Woman's
Club was held at the Library
Parlors, Wed Dec. 16, with Mrs. Alice
w. steward in charge of the program,
and Mrs Hattie H. Danforth and Mrs
Arazina Miller serving as hostesses.
The program was as follows: Piano
solo by Miss Ruth Greenwood, Vocal
solo, Miss Gertrude Webb with Miss
Lizzie Webb at the piano. Miss Webb
kindly responded to an encore.
The secretary then read the report of
the last meeting, also, report of the
visit to Waterville, Dec. Is, as guests
of the Woman's Club of that city.
Paper The Industrial Idea in Edu
cation by Mrs. Martha l.. Griffin.
Paper - Moral Influence of Favorable
Environment, Mrs. Kathleen E. Oak.
Conversation: Fads in Education,
opened by Mrs. Lizzie Marble, fol-
lowed by Miss Blanche Pollard,
Miss Louise Coburn and Mrs. Gle
mentine Weston.
Mrs. Marble called for discussion on
pure water and made some very in
teresting remarks upon the subject,
followed by Miss Louise Coburn.
Mrs. Eaton made a few remarks on
the red cross stamp and Mrs. Leavitt
mentioned the need of play grounds
for the girls in our schools.
The Secretary then read the an
nouncement for the Christmas meet
ing requesting that each member
bring Christmas present to be done
up in paper and securely tied and
with no name upon it. The value of
the presents to be not less than ten
cents and to not exceed that value to
much extent. If a member brings
guests she must provide rs many
extra presents as guests,
Vocal solo by Miss Gertrude Webb
The president appointed Mrs. Matte
Goodwin to serve as hostess, for the
next meeting, and to make her own
choice of some one to assist.
This concluded the very interesting
program OF the day.

In w ashington.

There has been considerable favor
able talk about national waterways
improVeme nts, and issuing bonds for
the expenditure OF millions of dollars,
sum sufficient to make the head
swim. Speaker Cannon is opposed to
the scheme, and says that such legis-
lation would put great quantity of i'll
advised projects on this country.
Legislators better 90 slow, notwith
standing the President is in favor of
the scheme.
The Republican Senators have un-
animously elected Senator Hale of
Maine as chairman of the Republican
caucus to succeed the late Senator
Allison of Iowa. The position carries
with it the craftsmanship of the Re
publican steering committee of the
Senate which determines all import
ant lie gislation in the Senate and also
imposes the duty of selecting mem
beers of the committee ON committees,
all of them very important duties.
The Brownsville shooting matter
came up in the Senate again, Monday,
the President sending in the report of
the special committee, accompanied
by a message in which he signifies his
approval of the re-enlistment of any
of the negro soldiers who will clearly
prove their innocence. Senator
Foraker made speech in which he
said that some of the soldiers had
been Swallowed by detectives for a
year, intimating that the president
had put these detectives on their
tracks.
The comment of the President in
his annual message on the secret
service has caused excitement in
both branches, the members deem
ing it an insult, and object to raising
money for hiring detectives to watch
themselves. Both branches will take
formal notice by resolution or order
of the So called insult. The bill has
passed providing for taking the 18th
census on Saturday next both
branches will undoubtedly adjourn
until after the holidays.

Woman's Club Visits Waterville.

Our Club Calendar told the mem
bers that they were to be guests of
the Woman's Club of Waterville on
Dec. 10 and furnish the program.
The day dawned gray and with snow
gently falling, rather forbidding for
making a trip from home, but merry
was the party of about fifty of the
ladies who concluded to brave the
elements and accept the kind invita-
tation from our neighboring club
women, taking the 1900 p. m. out
bound train and arriving at Waterville
at 1.30.
From the station we were conduct
ed to the public library where the
program was carried out and where
we were cordially greeted by COM
mittee who babe us welcome. A
social time was spent in looking about
the pleasant and interesting rooms
The hour arrived for the program to
begin and the meeting was called to
order by the president of the Water
vile club, Mrs. Mary A. Heath, who
gave the guests few words of cordial
greeting. The sec. protein, gave
her report after which Mrs. Heath
introduced the president of the Show
hogan Woman's Club, Mrs. Alice w.
Steward, who responded in very
pleasing manner with wisely chosen
words and who then took charge of
the meeting, which was as follows:
Piano Solo by Miss Edith Lewis, Vocal
Solo, Mrs. Agnes Steward, who re-
sponded to an encore, with Miss
Lewis at the piano. Vocal So 10, Miss
Florence Wyman, who also responded
to an encore with Miss Lewis at the
piano.
Then, Mrs. LYDIA E. Leitch gave a
most entertaining and helpful talk on
Beauty. She treated this subject in a
way to show that beauty was de-
velopment of the whole life, physical,
mental, moral and spiritual. Certainly,
the talk has to be heard to be apprec-
lated for no words of ours can express
the general uplift one receives from
hearing it.
rhe concluding number on the pro-
gram was a Vocal Solo by Mrs. Agnes
Steward who responded to an encore
with piano accompaniment by Miss
Lewis.
Mrs. Heath then expressed a few
words of appreciation after WHICH the
meeting was adjourned and the ladies
invited across the street to the parlors
of the Baptist church where a recep-
tion was held, and the time pleasantly
spent by the ladies of both clubs until
supper was announced. We would
rather say banquet than supper, by
the beautifully laid tables and viands
set before us, also the manner in
which it was served.
The Domestic Science Committee
had the day in charge, and surely they
have reduced their department to a
science judging from this day as 8
sample of their skill where they
served between 100 and 200 guests sc
gracefully and expeditiously.
After supper, with a short time
spent in expressing thanks for being
so royalty entertained, the ladies from
| Skowhegan turned their faces home
ward setting this down in their cal
endars as red letter day and think.
ing that it is surely good to "rub an6
polish our intellect against that OF
Others"
Eva r. Greenwood, Secretary.

Fatally Injured.

Joseph Crotto was swept off the
bulkhead by a flying bar, while at
work at the gates of the Skowhegan
Water Power Company, Thursday
afternoon of last week, falling fifteen
feet to to the raft below and receiving
injuries from which he died a few
hours later.
1t became necessary to shut the
gates, Thursday morning, to allow a
crew in charge of street commissioner
George II. Webb, to make some re-
pairs to a sewer, running through the
South Canal of the Water Power
Company, and the gates were being
raised, after the repairs, at the time
the accident occurred Mr.. Crotto
was charged with the duty of insert
ing n pin, AS the heavy gate was pried
up, notch by notch. but this seems, at
a certain stage of the work, to have
been imperfectly dune, and, the
weight Of the gate at an unlocked for
moment threw out one of the bars,
which were being used, striking the
unfortunate man with SO much force
as to throw him over the edge of the
bulkhead platform Those at work
with him climbed down TO the raft and
went to his assistance as quickly as
possible. He was taken home and a
physician summoned, but the injuries
were too serious to permit of relief.
Mr.. Crotto was born in st. Silzest,
County of Dorchester, 2. q He was
an Industrious, hard working man,
and been employed by the Show
hogan Water Power Company, from
time to time, for the past twenty
years. He had also worked in the
woods, on the river and As a common
laborer. 4 widow and one son, Ed
ward, survive. His age was about
seventy.tWo years.
The Somerset reporter., 1908-12-17

The State government doesn't seem
to be quite complete unless Oraman-
del Smith of Litch field has charge of
one of the departments. The memory
of the average citizen doesn't go
back to the time when he didn't hold
office, and in all these Offices there
was not one he didn't grace. When
he retired from the State Treasurer's
office, by limitation, his friends were
fearful that that would end his public
career. But since then new posi-
ton has been created by the establish
ment of the Home for Feeble Minded
people, and Oramandel has been APP
pointed one of the Trustees. If in
future years, and in the wise Provi-
dence of the Almighty, we should be-

The Maine Legislature will assemble
at the State House in Augusta on
Wednesday the 9th day of January
1909, for organization and on the next
day, Governor Bert NJ. Fernald will
deliver his inaugural address, after
which an adjournment will be had to
the next week. In the organization
of the two houses there are two can
didates for President of the Senate,
Hon. Luere B. Deasey of Hancock
county and Hon. H. H. Hastings of
strongly in favor of the talented SEN
ator from Hancock. In the House
there are two or more candidates for
the Speaker ship. Hon. George G..
Weeks of Fairfield and Howard Davis
of Yarmouth are prominent. With
one possible exception Mr.. Weeks
has had more legislative experience
than any other member on floor; and
take this with his pleasant and ever
winning manner, his high sense of
honor and fairness we have no doubt
he will be nominated and thus, this
great honor will be conferred on a
member of the Somerset county del
egation. The other leading officers
of the two branches will be about the
same as two years ago. Many meas
ures of consi,' erable magnitude will
come before the Legislature, among
them the report and recommends
tions of the tax commission, which
will be submitted early in the session.
We shall keep an eye out, at close
range, on all matters of legislation,
and report on those measures which
mostly interest the people of this sec
ton
