In MEMORIAM

In mEmOhAAh
"Another hand Is beckuning US,
Another cali Is given;
Anu CLOVIS once more with Angel-steps
The path which reaches Heaven.
There seems a shadow on the day,
Her smile no longer cheers;
A dmness on the stars OF night.
Like eyes that look through tears
Alone unto our Fathers will
One thought hath reconciled;
That he whose love ex ceedeth ours
Hath taken home his child.
Fold her, o Fatherl in thine arms,
And let her hen eforth be
messenger of love between
Our human hearts and thee
When sorrow has laid its heavy
hand upon us. and our hearts are ach-
ing with loneliness, and the loss of
something infinitely precious, words
seem futile and meaningless. Yet,
from the depths Of our grief, we long
to pay this tribute of deepest love to
her VIII has gone on before us; whose
life with us is such sweet and blessed
memory; memory which will never
grow dim, and which we will thank
fully cherish as long as life shall last.
We think of her as the beautiful
little golden haired baby girl, win
some and charming, to whom every
one was attracted and whom we loved
80 much.
Then, later on, we see her as she
entered her school life, always
happy student, and showing from the
first the unusual mind and brilliant
scholarship that have always been
hers throughout her school course.
She was several times promoted,
and always led the class to which she
belonged, although she was one of
the youngest in the High School class
of iii; and had already sent in her
application for admission to Welles-
ley College.
Some of her striking characteristics,
to us, were her unvarying cheerful
ness, her patience, her unseltshness,
and her helpfulness.
Always ready to lend her aid, to
help her friends, to smile away
trouble, we think of her as the dear,
brave, patient, sweet little soul,
whom we were always glad to have
with us, and who would comfort our
aching hearts in these sad days, if it
were possible. Her lovely, happy
little life, though lived apparently SO
quietly, has reached out its sweet

wound them around many, many
heartstrings, that throb with pain at
the severing of these earthly ties.
She was the most perfectly loyal
friend we have ever known, true as
steel, and as Interchangeable. 1t is not
given to many of us to possess even
one such friend during lifetime.
She was naturally and essentially
gentle in word and thought and deed
and the love of all things good and
right was inherent with her.
Never have we heard her speak
anything but kindly and charitably oil
any person. A rare trait, one OF
many, in rare character, lent us for
little time to love and cherish, and
to show us that "Of such is the King
dom of Heaven"
"Day after day we think what she Is doing
In those bright realms of air;
Year after year, her tender steps pursuing,
Behold her & own more fair.
Thus do we walk with her, and keep unbrok

The bond which nature gives,
Thinking that our RENE mbeIance, though
unspoken,
May reach her where she lives

MANY Commitments.

During the past seven days there
have been several arrivals at the
county Jail and there are now 81 per-
sons confined at that institution, 81
of whom are deprived of their liberty
for terms varying from 80 days to
eight months for violations of the
liquor law.
Isaac Thibodeau of Jackman was
arrested in that town on Monday by
Deputy Rufus Mckinney of Madison
and has been committed to serve so
day sentence. A fine OF 500 and
costs is also awaiting payment by
him. j. H. Gray of Scion was COM
mitted yesterday afternoon. He had
been under arrest for several days.
The delay in coming here was occa-
stoned by the serious condition of
Mr.. Gray's eyes, the sight of the right
eye having entirely, and it is feared
permanently, failed and the other one
being in a very critical condition.
The aggregat term for which this
respondent is sentenced is eight
months and the sum of the fines to be
paid is $500.
Joseph Mcdonald of Madison was
committed on Monday, he is to serve
go days and to pay fine of 500 and
costs.
Meddie Romeo of Jackman arrived
here Tuesday in charge of Fred d.
Stevens of Smithfield and was COM
mitted to serve so days and to pay
800 fine with costs. All the above
respondents, Thibodeau, Gray, Nc
Donald and Romeo were arrested on
capiases which have been issued
since the recent ruling of the law
court sustaining convictions on which
they had appealed, the prosecutions
having been conducted by A. K. But
Ter, acting as special prosecuting at
torney.
Other violators of the law seem to
be headed this way for last evening a
successful raid was made at Madison
by Deputy R. H. McKenney. Fifteen
bottles of whiskey were captured and
as a result Benjamin Sears, the pro-
prietor, has been convicted and given
the usual sentence. He will be com
mitted this afternoon.

william d. Fuller.

The last issue of the REPORTER
made note of the critical condition of
William II. Fuller and even before the
edition had reached many of its read
ere, the death of this much esteemed
citizen of Skowhegan had occurred.
The end which came Thursday even
ing, was the termination Of an illness
of more than two years, during which
he had been confined to the bed for
much of the time, only on very infre-
quent occasions being able to leave
his room. For many years his home
had been at Hotel Coburn but he
changed his boarding place to the
residence of Mrs. Sophronia Wyman,
last December. At that time the
transfer was made i'll the automobile
of his physician, DR.. Dascombe, and
this gave him the only glimpse he had
had of Skowhegan's streets since the
fall of 1906.
The deceased was born in Readfield,
August 31st, 1881, and was early en-
ployed In the drug store of his uncle,
Henry Fuller of that place, learning
the business which he was to follow
through life. He came to this town
in about 1852 to enter the employ of
Dyer & Gushing and finally engaged
in the drug trade for himself, remain
ing the proprietor Of the store in the
brick building, which he built for the
purpose on Madison Avenue, for 40
years. Mr.. Fuller possessed the
graces of speech to an unusual degree
both in conversation and in public
address. He never failed to interest
and during the active years of his
life he was on the program for speech
or toast at nearly every gathering OF
Skowhegan people where such things
were in order.
He was twice married, first to Miss
Hester Leavitt of this place and after
her decease to Miss PAMELA Hal
of Athens. One son, Edward, the re-
suit Of this union, died in 1896, but
short time after the death of Mrs
Fuller which occurred in June of thai
year. The deceased is survived by
two sisters, Mrs. d. d. Church ant
Miss Mary Fuller of Portsmouth, N
H., and one granddaughter, Mis-
Margaret Fuller of Roxbury, Mass.
Funeral services were observed a
the Congregational church on Sunday
Afternoon, the Pastor, Rev. B. B. Mer
rill, officiating. The family lot in the
South Cemetery will be the place o
interment.

MANAGERS PLAY
PROMINENT PART

So Jack Johnson and Sam Fitzpat-
rick have parted. Fitzpatrick picked
up Johnson at a time when he was
unable to get a match with any or the
fighters of prominence. Realizing that
the big colored fellow was dangerous,
the white heavyweights drew the color
line, the favorite way of evading a
black fighter who looks too formidable.
Johnson, although a man OF recog-
nized great ability, did not have a
dollar when he was taken In hand by
Fitzpatrick but Sam knew the ropes"
having handled some or the worlds
greatest fighters in Eis me. He soon
had Johnson prominently before the
public. and at once started after the
championship. He kept after 1t per-
sistently, and never let UP until he
forced Champion Tommy Burns to
meet his protege. The result is welt
known; Jack Johnson won a decisive
victory and grabbed off the worlds
championship.
No responsible man, whether white
or black, who is at all posted on the
happenings Of the sporting world, can
fail to give due credit to Sam Fitz-
patrick for Johnson's success in gain
ing the championship. OF course, we
all know that Johnson did the fighting
but, without Sam, he would not hav
had the opportunity.
Johnson left Fitzatrick just as San
was chasing John L. Sullivan pretty
hard for a match. Parson Davies then
took hold of Peter, but never succeed
ed in getting him on in battle for the
worlds championship. Meanwhile,
Sam took up kid" Lavigne. and made
him worlds champion of the light
weight brigade.
When he picked up Jack johnson he
declared that he would never let UP
until he landed him In the champion
ship, and Sam made good. johnson
is now in a position to make a lot of
money, while Sam Fitzpatrick, who put
him where he is, has nothing, and
must only look about. and try to find
anoter championship possibility to de-
velop. Jack Johnson is the nrst col
ored man who ever held the worlds
championship in the heavyweight
class, and Sam Fitzpatrick is the only
man who ever succeeded in making It
possible for a colored man to fight for
the worlds championship.
Sam Fitzpatrick is one of the
shrewdest handlers of fighters In the
business, and one of the squarest men
who ever drew breath. / have known
him for twenty years, and ! have
known men who have had many deal
ings with him. They all speak the
same way. and the verdict has been
'Fitz is a prince of good
fellows, and he knows all the fine
points of the managerial game, and is
a great trainer"

CRUN HAS Been
i'll IN SOUTH

Houston, Texas, March s1.-Tom
Crum, the Winnipeg outfielder, has
been ailing since he came south. Dur
ing his stay in Houston he has drop
ped ten pounds. The northerner isn't
long on avoirdupois and the loss Of
this beef has considerably weakened
him.
Crum came here splendidly recon-
mended. He played with the Winni-
peg team until the Canadian league
disbanded and then joined the Sioux
City pennant winners. Winnipeg
was second and fighting for the flag
when the blowoff came. In seventy
two games at Winnipeg and Sioux
City he batted .343 and led the league
in stolen bases with forty-two to his
credit. Crum has a splendid whip, is
an excellent base-runner and sure
death on fly balls.

NORTHERN LEAGUE
NOW IN SEATTLE

Seattle has thirty players signed for
the coming season. Among those on
the list are Joe Custer, Summers and
McGraw, though the latter is also said
to be going to one of the clubs in the
Wisconsin league.
In Seattle correspondence, the for
mer Brandon players are referred to
as follows:
81. Custer, the latest acquisition,
was the leading catcher last season
in the Northern league. He caught for
Brandon and in sixty three games had
a fielding average Of 1888. His batting
average was .222, but as there were
only four 800 hitters in the league,
that is not so bad.
"The tip is out that Frank McGraw
will make the other four outfielders
hustle. He came from Brandon in
the Northern league, where he batted
.225 last season and fielded ..905."

JOHNSON IS BACK
TO STAND trial

New York, March 31.-There ap-
pears to be an impression abroad that
Jack Johnson, the negro champion
heavyweight pugilist came to New
York this week expressly to fulfill a
vaudeville engagement. The fact is
that johnson came to New York ex-
pressly to keep most pressing en-
gagement with the court Of special
sessions, which was contracted a little
more than a year ago.
On March 13, 1908, johnson who
was then sojourning luxuriously in the
pork chop belt OF the Tenderloin, ap-
peared in West side court as com
-...lI:t against Il negress named
Amy Douglas. He accused her of
separating him from certain jewelry
while occupying an apartment at 131
West Fifty-third street.
Johnson admitted to the court that
he was married and that Amy Douglas
was not his wife. On his own testi-
mony, corroborated by witnesses, a
charge was made against him and he
was held for trial in the court of spe-
cial sessions. Bail was fixed at ST.
900 and was furnished by Baron will
heHS' negro sdioonkeeper. Spectal
arrangements were made TO allow
Johnson TO go to Australia to fight
Tommy Burns on his promise to re-
turn here for trial in the week begin
ming March g.
So the exuberant JOY Of Mr.. Wilkes
when he saw Johnson step off the var
nisned cars yesterday, was not alto
gether unselfish. II meant that the
$1,000 bond which he had posted to
guarantee the appearance OF johnson
was safe.
Assistant District Attorney Dana
appeared in the court Of special ses-
sions and moved that the trial Of
johnson be called Thursday morning
Frank Wheaton, a negro lawyer rep
resenting Johnson, said he had no OBJ
lection and the date was so set.

Johnson fiunked out OF one match
with Ketchel bu Britt believes that
he has now nailed the negro.
Jim Coffroth. the California fight

will be the one accepted II the fight is

THE WISE SPANIEL
OF DEVILS LAKE.

Senator H. G. Hansbrough was talk
ing at a dinner in Washington about
his splendid old age pensions bill.
We need, you know" he said, "a
bill to encourage us to save. we are
not all as good at saving as Hank
Shuster's spaniel was" says The Morn
ing Telegraph, New York.
Hank Shuster lives at Devils Lake.
He used to give his dog cent a day to
buy q roll with, and the sagacious ami
NAL would walk to the eating house
on the corner and make his purchase
like human being.
But one morning Hank gave the
dog nickel and for this sum the
waiter at the eating house handed
forth sausage sandwich.
Would you believe it? From that
day on the dog always saved his cop
pers till he had accumulated five and
then went to the eating house and
bought a sandwich stuffed with sau-
sage."
