Death of Walter Harding.

A news dispatch published in the
Maine dailies of yesterday announc-
ed the death of DIR. Walter Harding,
OF pneumonia, on Tuesday. The ao-
count speaks of him as assistant pro-
lessor of anatomy, in the college of
Physicians and Surgeons in Boston
and as prominent in the municipal
affairs of the city Of Everett, Mass
which had been his home since enter
ing upon the practice of his profess
sion. The deceased was born in
Hallowell, Me the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Leander D. Harding and with
his parents he resided on farm in
the Bigelow hill region, near this
town, during his youth. He was at
one time employed in the Skowhegan
postoffice, and was graduate OF the
Skowhegan High school, class of
1894. Shortly after his graduation he
commenced his medical studies in the
office of DIR. l.. A. Dascombe of this
place. Besides the father and mother
above mentioned, who now reside in
Franklin Park, Mass, he is survived
by wife and two children also two
brott ers, Elliott and Willis, and one
sister, Mrs. Sadie Chaffee.

Skowhegan Acknowledges Courtesy

Incidents to which the Hotel Ok
ford fire gave rise have not ce ased to
occur and one in which the people of
Skowhegan have special interest
transpired during the present week.
1t seems that, not long after the fire
mentioned, the municipal officers of
this town wrote to the Fairfield Fire
Departm in acknowledgement of
the services rendered by them and
asking them to render an account
of what might be their due from this
municipality. A reply to this letter
has been recently received, advising
our selectmen that they were glad to
be able to render US assistance in our
emergency and that they would not
wish to charge a sister town anything
under such circumstances.
Our selectmen have replied in the
name of the town, thanking the mem
bers of the Fairfield Fire Department
for their courtesy and assuring them
that, should occasion ever require, the
| Skowhegan Department will remem-
Der the Kindness and be very ready to
return it. This letter was signed by
the three selectmen, the chief of the
fire department, and other town off,
GERS and also few prominent Show
/ hogan citizens who were readily ac-
cossible for the purpose of securing
| their signature.
The incident is one that should
make us remember with special re-
gard our down river neighbor and
especially the members of her fire
! department who passed very siren
uous night in Skowhe9an and in the
journey two and from our town. and
who chose to regard the matter as a
courtesy and to be given without rec
Ompense.

Mrs. Mary Goodridge.

Mrs. Mary Goodridge died in Wa
terville on Tuesday afternoon, at the
home of her son, Frank j. Good
ridge, aged rs years. Death was
due to a paralytio shock suffered
some months since. The deceased
was born in Mount Vernon but the
greater part of her life was lpassed in
Dexter to which place she moved
about forty years ago. Many Show
hogan people have had the pleasure
of knowing Mrs. Goodridge from the
fact that, since Skowhegan became
the residence of her daughter, Mrs.
F. o. Sawyer, she has passed the
winter months of nearly every year
in this place. Since the death of her
husband, Isaac Goodridge, about %
wears since, her home for the greater
portion of the time had been with her
daughter, Mrs. l.. j. Blanchard, in
Dexter. AS opportunity offered,
during the times of her temporary
residence here, she has been a con
slant attendant at the Bethany Church
and was much interested in its
affairs.
The funeral services will occur at
Dexter tomorrow and the interment
will be at that place in the family
lot.

Y. NJ. c. A. Day.

Last Saturday and Sunday were
very eventful days for Skowhegan.
The president, and some of the other
Y. M. c. A. members desired to see If
there was any interest in this town
toward the Y. M. G. A. movement.
AS result of this, after talk with
Mr.. Robinson of Waterville it was
announced that there was to be Y.
M. g. A. Day held in Skowhegan.
Plans were made and several speak
ers wese obtained. The speakers
were: Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Smith of
Waterville, Mr. Merriam of Portland,
Mr.. Watson of Good Will Farm;
Mr.. Hinckley was secured to deliver
the Sunday evening address.
Saturday night supper was held at
the Congregations Church for the
Speakers, the Advisory Board and the
Club members. After the supper
several toasts were given by the men
from away, several members of the
local club also participating Sunday
each of the four churches had one of
the speakers to fill their pulplts. The
sermons were of notable ability and
were enjoyed by all who heard them.
In the afternoon there was a meeting
for men and boys. During the meeting
a chance to take forward steps in re-
ligious life was given and quite few
aVailed themselves of the opportunity
to give public expression of their
faith and interest in religious things.
In the evening Mr.. Hinckley gave a
very interesting and able address at
the Bethany Church, to large audi
ence.
The meetings showed that there is
a great deal of interest here in the
Y. NJ. G. A. move, if it can only be
gotten into tangible form.

Buffet Discontinued.

At a meeting of the Eagles Club,
on Friday evening of last week, by a
unanimous vote, 1t was decided to
discontinue the buffet department.
The Eagles Club is a subsidiary body
of the Skowhegan Aerie of the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles, but an entirely
separate and independent organiza-
ton. The Skowhegan Aerie, F. o. E.,
was chartered some four years ago
and at first operated locker depart
ment for the use of its members.
Something over two years since,
Governor Bell of California, the high
est officer in the Fraternal Order OF
Eagles issued an order which called
for abolition of all locker or buffet
departments in connection with the
fraternity. AS the Eagles Club OF
Skowhegan was instituted not long
after this rule was complied with, and
as its rooms were in part the same,
or at least in the same building and
adjacent to the rooms of Skowhegan
Aerie, it is fair to presume that one OF
the objects Of its formation was to
supply the locker and buffet accom-
modations which the Fraternal Order
of Eagles could no longer furnish.
In other places similar clubs, some
times run as al adjunct to other Or
ders and often entirely independent
OF any fraternity, have been in opera
ton, and of late there seems to have
been rather more than the usual eff
fort to restrict or abolish them on
the part of sheriffs and other officials,
under the claim that they were con-
Quoted in violation of the prohibitory
law. Until very recently this claim
was never substantiated to an
extent that did not permit OF contro-
versy, but by ruling Of the Supreme
Court made public within the past ten
DAYS it seems there can be no further
doubt about the matter and that clubs
or societies with locker and buffet
departments can no longer continue
in the State of Maine. 1t would seem
likely that the action of the Skowhe-
gan Eagles Club has been taken in
compliance with this Court decision.
1t may have also been further infiu-
enced by the visit of Governor Bell,
above mentioned, who was present at
the instituting of a lodge OF the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles at Bangor re-
Gently and who was emphatic in his
statements that no liquors should be
associated with any lodge of that Or
der in this State.
So long as the members of the
Eagles Club, were within the pro-
visions of law in any method they
took to provide themselves with Ii
quors, criticism of their action could
only be iAduiged in 10 limited ex-
tent. Their defense for their buff
department was they only sought to
maintain supply of liquors at their
club rooms in a manner and for use
not dissimilar to that which is allow
able by law and custom to any citizen
of Maine in his own home. Notwith
standing this there can be no doubt
that the influence of any club or as
sociation with locker or buffet con-
nection is very unfavorable. Its
tendency could hardly fail TO be to-
ward frequent drinking and ulti-
mately to excessive use of intoxi-
cants. 1t will therefore be welcome
news to the people of Skowhegan
and, we dare say to some-perhaps
many of the club memb ers themselves,
thatthe buffet system is to be per-
manently abandoned.

After Eugene Walter had complet-
ed "Paid in Full" which will be pre-
sented at the new Opera House Wed,
March 3rd he racked his brain unsuc-
cessfully for a name for the piece.
One day he received from the Green
Room Club statement for dues. He
went to the Club that night, handed
the bill and the requisite amount to the
man behind the desk. Dipping his
pen in red ink, the man wrote across
the face of the statement "Paid in
Full" and handed it back to Walter.
The young author looked at the re-
ceipt for a second, and then a satisfied
sigh escaped his lips. He had at last
found the name for his great Ameri-
can play.
