As IT WAS IN
THE DAYS or OLD
High School Students Reproduce the
First Staging of Portion of
Shakespearean Play.

At the assembly at the high school
yesterday afternoon an unusually III
teresting and unique program was Civ
en-. An instrumental musical number
by a quartet of boys opened the pro-
gram, and this was followed by an
essay on the humor in Shakespeare,
by Miss Ruth West. Cyrus Waite
then gave a reading from the Mid
Summer Nights Dream. The scene
which Mr.. Waite read was then re-
produced in its original setting, as
plays in the time of Shakespeare were
put on, man to represent a wall, ali
other to represent the moon, still an
other a lion, etc. In the reproduction
presented yesterday Hugh Ralston was
the leading man and Harry Weise the
leading lady. A. Zimmerman was
stage manager and gave the prologue
Will Hughes represented the moon
Verne Brinkerhoff a lion, and Arthur
Schoessel was the wall.
Rev. C. A. Wendell Of Rockford. who
was formerly teacher of history in the
high school, addressed the school with
the leading thought of not putting the
| limit of the impossible too close.

father was the late Capt. Jerry Jones; his
mother Lucy (Wasson) Jones. He was

his home and maintained a voting resi-
dence in this State, first in Belfast, then
in Bangor, and for the past eight years in
Bucksport, where he resides on Buck
street with his wife and two children.
Mr.. Jones wishes to put himself on
record AS being opposed to resubmission,
opposed to town and city agencies as at
present conducted, and opposed to any
and all laws that will make the sale OF
liquor legal in this State.
He believes that the Sturgis commission
has done more to enforce the law than any
previous system, but he thinks law
could be passed to compel the sheriffs to
do their whole duty, and thus make the
Sturgis commission unnecessary.
Mr.. Jones loves Maine; he loves his
county and he loves his town. II every

better known to the outside world. Be-

Death of Senator Allison.

Death of Senator Allison.
Senator William B. Allison, of Iowa,
died at his home in Dubuque yester-
day afternoon. The senator had not
been well for some time, but his death
at this time was not anticipated.
The death of Senator Allison re-
moves one of the most conspicuous
and ablest of public servants. In
point of continuous service as sena-
tor he ranked first, having taken his
seat as senator on March 4, 1873. He
had previously served as a member OF
the House for four terms, having been
elected first in 1868.
On his entry into public life he
promptly took leading position, and
maintained it throughout his long and
brilliant career. To Senator Allison
lie largely due the planning and car
rying through the great measures for
the conduct of the Civil war, the re-
establishment of the national credit
and the development of the national
resources.
Senator Aliison's death leaves
Names senators ranking longest in
point of continuous service-Senator
Hale ranking first, having taken bis
seat on March 4, 1881; Senator Frye
ranking second, having taken his seat
on March Is, 1881.

Senator Hale's Mission to Europe.
Senator Hale left Ellsworth last Sunday
afternoon for New York, and sailed yes
terday on the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, Of
the North German Lloyd line, for Europe,
along with other members OF the sub-com-
mittee of the National monetary commits
sion appointed in accordance with an act
of Congress passed during the closing days
Of the last session.
The members Of this subcommittee q e
! Senators Aldrich, Of Rhode Island, chair
man OF the commission, Hale, of Maine,
Daniel, OF Virginia, Representative Pad
gett, of Tennessee, and Representative
Burton, of Ohio, who is now in Europe.
This commission has held several con-
| ferences during the past few weeks, and
the appointment of the subcommittee to
visit Europe is with the idea of getting
information in England and France rela-
tive to currency and banking methods in
vogue there.
The commission is one of the most i'm
portant appointed by Congress for many
years past, as the necessity for reform in
currency and banking methods has be-
come more and more manifest in recent
years. and noticeably so during the panic
of last fall.
The passage of the modified Aldrich-
Vreeland bill by Congress late last session
was intended only Tor temporary relief,
but it is expected and hoped that the COM
mission of eighteen members, nine ON the
part of each body of Congress, will, as the
result OF its deliberations and the inyesti-
CATION of methods used in Europe, be BILE
to formulate some plan for the reorgani-
cation of our system that will stand the
strain better than some of our biggest in
sritutions did during the panic OF last fall.
Much is expected OF this commission.
Congress may or may not Immediately act
upon the report which will be presented
by enaeting into law the plans which it is
presumed will be presented, but it is con-
| ceded that the report will go long way
towards reaching that reorganization of
our system that is so much needed
Everybody will agree with the Bangor
Commercial that Maine should be Justly
proud Of the part one Of its senators is
taking in this important work. Senator
Hale is one of the strong men in the upper
body which passes upon such matters, and
his selection as member of the sub-com-
mittee is an evidence Of appreciation OF
his valuable service upon the part OF
Chairman Aldrich.
Senator Hale is in excellent health this
year, and was looking forward with .
great deal OF pleasure to the trip to Europe
where his keen mind can be expected to
grasp the conditions with as much dis
cernment as any man on the commission.
Senator Hale's present term of office
does not expire until March 3, 1911, but it
is practically certain that Maine will favor
his continuance in that high position just
SO long as he is atle to fulfill its duties.
