Gift of a Mineral Collection.

Miss p. n. Andrews, who recently sold
her house on Paris Hill, has presented
her collection of minerals, which is a
valuable one, to the high school, and It
has recently been delivered. Combined
with a collection which the school al
ready had, this makes an equipment 10
this line which Principal Mixer OF the
school says is excelled in this state only
by the larger institutions of learning.
However, there is no suitable place 10
which to display either the Andrews col
lection or the other, and the minerals
are now stored in boxes. A good cabi
net for them is needed, and there is al
excellent opportunity for those interest
ed in the school to show their interest
Principal Mixer would be glad to receive
voluntary contributions toward th'
bnilding of a cabinet, and II that methot
of securing what is needed Is not effect

1t having been definitely decided, at a
special meeting of the Maine Dairymen's
Association, to hold its annual meeting
at Norway Dec. 3, 6, I, arrangements are
now being completed for the annual pro-

ed for an address on Thursday, Dec. Z.
Several of the addresses will be delivered
by practical dairymen located in differ
ent parts of the state. A judging con-
test in dairy products with the Dairy
mems Association silver cup as the tro-
ply will be held Dec. 6. The annual
banquet will occur Wednesday evening
at seven o'clock.
The various classes open to exhibitors
cheese, milk, cream, and butter-will
be the same as last year, except that
certificates and diplomas will take the
place of cash premiums. The annual
program and premium list is now In
course of preparation and will be avail
able for distribution within few days.
Application made to the secretary for
premium list and entry blanks will re-
ceive prompt attention. Every effort

meant so much to the prosperity of the

i medut 30 mucu w tno PAoSPoAVy Va s"s
town.
Hon. John P. Swasey had been assign
cd to speak of "The Founder OF the In
stitute," and he paid high tribute to
the farsigbtedness and energy OF Mr.
Chisholm in all his connection with the
development of Rumford Falls, from the
time he first stood on Table Rock anG
looked down over that magnificent
waterfall down to the present day. The
greatest tribute that can be paid to the
| founder of this institute, he said, Ii
merely to look at Rumford Falls as II
exists to-day.
A letter was read by Mr.. Bisbee from
Bishop Walsh of Portland, expressing
his good will, and his regrets that a
previous engagement prevented his &C
cepting the invitation to be present:
President William Dewitt Hyde of
Bowdoin College was the next speaker.
With semi-apology, he read the main
part of his address from manuscript, tax
ing as his text, what he said Jesus might
have spoken if he had looked upon the
cobplex industrial life of to-day, SIN
dustry is made for man, and not man for
industry" The address was scholarly
and complete, yet framed in such simple
language that even child might take it
in, and was greatly enjoyed by the au-
dience.
Judge William L. Putnam of Portland,
a longtime friend and counselor of Mr..
Chisholm, and intimately associated for
years with the development of Rumford
Falls, spoke 10 an informal way, paying
tribute to bis friend Mr.. Chisholm, and
saying that he considered this institute
as the crowning achievement of his ac-
complishments at Rumford, designed
and destined to encourage the advance
ment of equality and democracy.
Rt. Rev. Robert Goldman, Episcopal
Bishop of Maine, took the handshake be-
tween man and man as the symbol of
that equality which should characterize
this institute. He would see brought to-
gether here the owners of the industries,
their managers. and the men who labor
ed in them. Give the laboring man
place where he will feel at ease, and
learn to know the heart of the man.
Then you will understand something of
his point of view.
Hon. PaysOn Smith, state superintend-
ent of schools, had been assigned to
speak of "The Institute, its connection
with the public schools" but explained
that not having advance notice OF bis
topic, be was not able to confine himself
closely to it. He did, however, speak
well and forcibly of education as a thing
which is not confined to the walls Of the
school room, but is broad in its meaning,
and treated of this institute as an educa-
tional institution which could do great
work.
Hon. Waldo Pettengill, though upt
down on the program, was called upon
by the chairman, and briefly expressed
his pleasure at having had some small
part in the development of Rumford.
After the exercises were over, many of
those present took the opportunity to
make thorough inspection of the build
ing, and all were delighted with it.

Here and There.

The law requiring the use of swinging

gardcd in many towns in the election OF
September-in most cases probably be-
cause the officers didn't understand the
law, but any way, it was disregarded.
Now what's to be done? Why, only one
thing, of course. The extra session Of
the legislature will repeal the compul-
sory law, and restore the local option
feature as it was before. That's the
thing to do with law that isn't obeyed.

On Thursday afternoon the formal
dedication of the building occurred. A
party of distinguished guests came from
Portland and other places on the fore
noon train, accompanying Mr.. Chisholm,
two cars, a parlor car, and the car of Mr..
Mcdonald, the general manager of rhe
Maine Central, being attached to the
train for this party. A committee Of
Rumford citizens met the train at Buck
field. After the exercises special train
ran from Rumford by way of Livermore
Falls and Lewiston to Portland to take
the guests home, a buffet lunch being
served on the train.
On arrival at Rumford at noon, the
guests were taken in automobiles about
the town and shown its main features,
and at O'Clock fine dinner was served
to the invited guests at Hotel Rum
ford, at which about seventy were seat
ed.
The lounging room of the Institute,
where the exercises were held, was filled
to overhowing at the opening hour. Hon.
George D. Bisbee presided at the exer-
| cises. An orchestra provided excellen,
music, and brief opening prayer was
offered by Rev. II. l.. Hanson.
Judge Matthew Mccarthy welcomed
the people in brief address, saying thai
great good for Rumford was expected tC
| result from the establishment of this
splendid institution.
Hugh j. Chisholm was the seconl
speaker, and his remarks we're with
much feeling. He expressed his thank
earnestly to all who had contributed Il
the successful establishment Of this en-
terprise. The object of the institution
he said, is humanitarian. He had observ

again. For such purpose this institr
tion had been established. In oonclr
sion, he said that bis active particips

Now as to what the Institute really is

Now as to what the Institute really is
and is expected 20 do.
First and foremost, it provides the ad-
vantages of first-class social club, not
to the wealthy who can afford to pay
large dues, but at rate which puts it
within the reach of the working man.
First-class membership is open to men
and women over eighteen years of age.
The fee is one dollar, and dues there
after are five dollars for men aud three
for women, payable semi-annually.
II is possible that later some arrange
ments may be made for a membership
for those under eighteen, but this will
not be done at present.
Thus the Institute, if the plans of its
builders do not fail, should be social
center-more than that, should be the
social center of the town-such place
as only few towns are favored with.
But further, the Institute plans to
furnish instruction, physical and mental,
and recreation of a wholesome kind
gymnasium classes, dances, lectures and
entertainments of various kinds.
The proof of an enterprise is in the
way it works out, and it is so with this;
but unless the future should produce
much different results from what rea-
sonable person might expect, this insti-
tute is one of the best things that any
town can have.

Mechanics Institute Dedicated.
AN INSTITUTION AT RUMFoRD WITHOUT
AN EXACT DUPLICATE.

II the building at Rumford Falls
which was dedicated on Thursday, and
the organization having 1t In charge,
fulfil the reasonable expectations Of their
founders and builders, Ruuford will
have proven itself a pioneer, and will
have many imitators. The Mechanics
Institute, designed to promote the So
cial, mental and moral welfare OF the
people of the place, is exactly like moth
ing else that exists in this state. 1t is
something like the institutions conduct,
ed by the Young Mems Christian Asso
Citations in many cities, but is entirely
without religious, political or racial
affiliations.
To Hugh j. Chisholm, who has had
more to do with the development of
Rumford Falls than any other man, is
due the inception of this institute. he
it was who proposed it and has aided its
establishment in every way. The propo-
sition to establish such an institution,
when made by Mr.. Chisholm, was ac-
copied with enthusiasm by the people
of Rumford, and they have worked well
together for its fulfillment.
The International Paper Co., the Ok
ford Paper Co., and the Continental
Paper Bag Co., the three largest indus
tries of Rumford, are so much interested
in the plan that they have guaranteed
the $4,000 of bonds which were neces-
sary TO erect the building.
Leading citizens of the town make up
the board of officers Of the institute,
which is as follows:
