Albion Keith Spofford.

In the death of Albion Keith Spo ford
the class of 1904, Bates College, has sus-
tanned loss, the extent of which will be
realized only as the years pass by.
A man of marked ability and strong
character, he has passed from our midst
at time when brilliant future seemed
assured. Endowed by nature with un-
usual moral force, he strove to place
duty FIRST, and in doing this he had al
ready been marked as leader OF men.
Fortunate in the possession OF a sunny
and genial disposition he made many
friends.
For his sterling worth he was honor
ed, for his brilliancy he was admired,
and for his companionship he was loved.
Recognizing these qualities, the class
of 1904 mourns its loss, and extends to
his bereaved family it's heartfelt sym
patty.

Base Ball.

Radcliffe defeated Freeport at the fair
grounds Saturday afternoon in loosely
played and uninteresting game, the visit
ors putting up about the poorest game
witnessed here this season. If there
were any on the team possessed of life
and energy they failed to show it and a
greater part of them acted as if it was
considerable of an effort to move. There
is little doubt that they would have been
shut out had not Leith eased up and al
lowed them to hit.
Smith, a University of Maine catcher,
was behind the bat for Radcliffe and did
well. He is a lively player and was
working all the time to bring victory to
his team.
Small, the Freeport pitcher, seemed to
possess considerable ability and the fact
that Radcliffe is credited with twelve
hits was largely the fault of his team
mates, many ground balls and a few
flies being scored as hits which should
have been turned into put outs. Merrill
and Patterson also played good ball for
the visitors.
ClaSon with three hits was the leading
batter. Libby officiated as umpire and
il was evident that had the game been
close be would have considerable troub-

Radcliffe was defeated in two games
at Mechanic Falls Labor Day 10 the
forenoon game LsFrance pitched fiue
ball for Radcliffe and his team was in
the lead to 0 until two men were out in
the ninth inning. At this point he
weakened and Mechanic batted in enough
runs to win before Radcliffe could get
another put out. Judging from reports
we should say that the afternoon game
was one of those kicking affairs which is
so dstasteful to every lover of clean
sport. The report that the Radcliffe
management had taken an unfair advan-
tage of the local management in regard
to money affairs had put the Mechanic
Falls rooters in bad hum>r and they
were not slow to show their resentment.
Supporters of the Radcliffe team claim
that the work of the umpires was the
leading factor of Mechanic Falls Glory
in the afternoon contest. The feeling
between the two teams is intense and
although there is great desire to have
the championship settled, the prospects
OF the two teams meeting again are not
bright II looks like a case of zones
scat and the other dasn't."

Having thus detailed the natural feat
ures of the place, it may be well to sum-
Marie the artificial development of the
region as a place for rest and recreation.
1t is only four years since the first camp
was built, whereas now there are ten.
The first was Scamp Gindy," on the
outlet short distance below the pond,
owned by A. NJ. Andrews of South Wood
stock. The first one built on the pond
itself lin 19O6) was on the north shore
near the outlet, owned by Professor j..
r. Moody aud Ira NJ. Bearce Of Hebron.
Fronting on sandy beach along the
south shore, near the road, are four
camps. These are "Waldheim," built
in 1908, owned by A. l.. Holmes of South
Paris; "Shaggrock," Unit the accent on
the Shagg, If you please), built in 1907
by Arthur E. Forbes of South Paris; a
camp built this year by Albert D. Park
of South Paris; and "Altamerteva," also
built this year by A. W. Walker Of
South Paris. On slightly wooded hill
short distance down the shore Is
"Kamp Killooleet," built this year by
a. A. Morton of South Paris.
On "Spruce Point" which juts out in
to the pond on its northerly shore, Is
Scamp Everett" built in 1905 by U. G.
Wheeler of Everett, Mass.
On high knoll on the north shore, in
a grove of handsome young white birch
es, is Scamp Mooween," built this year
by Alton c. Wheeler of South Paris.
Near the head of the pond, II We may
designate any part of the curving shore
as the head, Is a camp built this year by

NORTHERN PIE FOR NEGROES
Taft Will Dust Blacks From Office in
the South. List of Those Hav-
ing Federal Plums.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-That Pres
ident Taft is going to make appoint
ments of northern negroes to office
rather than southern ones is the in
formation that has been pretty thor
Ioughly disseminated among the ne
gro politicians throughout the eoun-
try.
The president has talked over his
ideas about the appointment of ne
groes to office with some of the lead
ing men of the race, and he has sig
nified to them his inclination to give
recognition to the negro voters in
the northern states.
AS a result of this policy it is ex-
pected that the negroes of the south
who are holding important Offices
will, as their terms expire, be dis
placed; for the most part, by whites,
and in turn recognition will be given
to negroes in the north.
The list of negroes holding i'm
! portant offices in the south under the
federal government includes the fol-
lowing:
! Robert Small, collector or customs
at Beaufort, S. c.
Henry A. Rucker, collector of in
ternal revenue at Atlanta, Ga.
Joseph Lee, collector of internal
revenue at Jacksonville, Fla.
Nathan H. Alexander, registrar of
the land Office at Montgomery, Ala.
Thomas V. McAllister, receiver of
public money at Jackson, Miss.
Walter c. Cohen, registrar of the
land office at New Orleans.
Alexander B. Kennedy, receiver OF
public money at Little Rock, Ark.
The course the president will take
in the matter of appointing negroes
is likely to be illustrated in the Sc
lection of a successor to w. T. Yer
non, registrar of the treasury. Book
err T. Washington and other negroes
have given their support to j. G.
Napier of Nashville for the place.
