Many will learn with deep regret OF
the death of Mrs. Eliza (Chadbourne)
Adams, widow of the late Nathiel War
rem Adams. Mrs. Adams died Sunday
morning, March 81, at the old Adams
homestead, where she had lived for
nearly seventy years. She was s. years
of age the 9th day of March, and was the
last survivor of large family. Many
who have associated with her will over
remember her with pleasure. 1t can
truly be said of her, "She looketh we'll
to the ways OF her household, and her
children arise up, and call her blessed" ;
for her industry and economy have
helped to lay the foundation of their
beautiful home, where she passed her
declining years, surrounded by every
comfort, faithfully and tenderly cared
for by her children, Mr.. Stephen ].
Adams and Mr.. and Mrs. Orison W.
Adams. The deceased was ever faith
full wife, Q loving and devoted mother, a
kind, peaceable and genial neighbour,
who, In her younger days, visited the
sick and afflicted and did what she could
A good woman Is gone. We shall miss
her in her home, wher. she gave every,

word and genial smile endeared her to
all.
For good lieth not in pursuing,
Nor gaining Of great nor OF small,
But just in the doing, and doing
AS we would be done by, Is all.

Many good sessions have been held by
the Maine State Board of Trade, but at
no session has it had more interesting
and profitable programme than at its
recent meeting at Saco. All the address
es indicate that there is a growing sense
of the possibilities of Names future.
A better and more prosperous Maine in
sight seemed to be the keynote of 1t all.
And while naturally material prosperity,
and progress agriculturally, industrially
and commercially, figure most largely,
there is also the call to make a more
beautiful Maine, Maine better educa-
tionally and esthetically, Maine better
worth living in. All these may come
and will come if we will help them to
come.

The advent of the Sturgis deputies in
Portland, under the circumstances,
naturally produces somewhat mixed
emotions in the breast of the prohibition
hating Argus; but il does have the grace
to admit, that for one day at least, the
number of DRINKS in court was smaller
than usual. And when the Argus will
apply a diminutive term TO the number
of DRINKS in a prohibition city, there
must be some reason for it.

A Question of Good English.

In the Democrat of Feb. Is, | saw
mention of the ''annual ladies' night" OF
Hamlin Lodge, X of p. Who are the
annual ladies mentioned, or, in the ex-
preston quoted, is the adjective San
nual" TO be understood as modifying
Riqht instead of ladies, the meaning being
pot the night of the annual ladies, but
the annual night of the ladies? IL the lat
ter is the meaning,-and undoubtedly it
is.-from the standpoint of such stick
Ter for good English as is the Democrat
would not the expression ladies annual
night" be preferable to annual ladies'
night? SAxo GRAMMAricUs'
REPLY BY THE sTICKLER.
In the expression quoted from the
Democrat, annual modities neither
ladies nor niqht but ladies' night. Ladies
night is an entity, which might be week
ly. annual, occasional, or something
else. In the case of Hamlin Lodge, it is
annual. IL it had been the tenth annual
ladies night, the adjective "tenth'
nwould have modified, not ladies, or night,
0r ladies' night, but annual ladies night.
- From a recent presidents message:
'sNot since the first International EXPOSE
ton has there been one OF more i'm
portance than this will be-" In this
sentence the adjective first" does not
limit exposition, but International erposl-
ton.
dramatically, "ladies' night" San
pual ladies' night" and international
exposition" as used in the several Illus
trations above, are nominal phrases, or
substantive phrases, or something of the
sort-the Stickler long ago forgot most
of the technical grammar he ever knew,
so he must not be expected TO be accur-
ate in his nomenclature of the science.

Result from Miss Clark's Hazing

Bridgeport, Conn, April 2S.-The
girls OF the Alpha Alpha sorority of
the Bridgeport High school held
special meeting today to take action
upon the publicity given their initia-
tion ritual and to ascertain the leak,
II possible. Incidently warm dis
pute arose as to the advisability OF
toning down the ritual. Two factions
sprang up, one fayoring the retention
OF the present form and the other
maintaining that 1t would be better
to drop all initiation stunts until
the trouble blew over.
The meeting finally resulted in a
compromise by which IL was agreed
TO discontinue some of the rougher
initiation features. such as making a
candidate walk on her hands down a
flight OF stairs. branding her on the
back. and forcing her to eat cock
tails" composed of oysters and sugar.

rites.
The Board OF Education is expected
70 make It's report soon concerning
the hazing OF Miss lorain Clark by
the Alpha Alpha sorority, following
which Miss Clark is now an inmate OF
the Linden Lodge Sanitarium at
Brattleboro, VI. Il Is feared by the
sorority girls that drastic measures
will be undertaken by the board in
coping with the fraternity evil In
Bridgeport high schools.
