Distinct Loss to Legal Profession and
to the State.
portland Advertiser.)

Hon. Orville Dewey Baker, who died
suddenly on Sunday, had long been a
leader at the bar of the State and his
eminence there was deserved. His
knowledge of the law was accurate and
comprehensive, but in the preparation
OF cases and their trial in court he did
not rely on his great fund of general
knowledge. He took up each cause
with enthusiastic energy, mastering it
in all it's details bringing to bear upon
it the powers of his remarkable mind
and finally presenting it to the court
with q wit and eloquence, facility
for logical and convincing statement
that made him one Of the most in
structivc and entertaining speakers
Mr. Baker was personally delightful
acquaintance and he was one who
made in many ways marked lm-
preston upon the community in which
he lived His death is distinct loss
to the legal profession of Maine and
to the State.

TRIBUTES TO LATE o. D. BAKER.
Mourning Will Be General.
portland Express

Orville D. Baker was recognized as
one of the leaders of the Maine bar,
perhaps as the leader. He was de-
voted to his profession, the law held
the first claim upon his loyalty. He
was interested in public affairs, but
never went into politics as such,
though he had the qualities which
would have made a successful politi-
clan. His career comes to a sudden
end and mourning will be general.

orderly than those with Washburn' S
show. and as yet no trouble has been
reported.
The circus contains many features
the principal ones being Miss Marion
sheridan's performing lions and a
herd of performing elephants. There
are a number Of funny clowns to
make the little ones laugh and startl-
ing ring and hippodrome feats to
please the adults.

season and Will probably draw large
crowds The afternoon show was at
2 o'clock and the evening perform
ance will start at 8.
