"Many q man has been unable to looh

He Is the oldest man in either House,

has served az president pro tempore OF
the Senate impartially and we'll, and
there can be no doubt that if years and
failing health do not prevent, he will be
reelected to that body when his term
comes to an end in 1918. Few Senator'S
have earned the universal respect that
FRYE has during his term Of service, and
even those who differ with him most
earnestly on points o; political doctrine
res pect his honesty and courage. Ten
years ago, before age began to tell upon
him, he was everywhere known as the
"Little Giant" of the Republican party,
and more recently as 1.-THE Little Father"
of the Senate.
He was the son of well-to.do family
in Maine, and secured the university
education possible sixty years ago. Be-
tween times he fought with his school,
mates, according to the cherished ira
dition of the state. Always short In
stature, his large head and sturdiness OF
carriage produced the effect of strength
and resolution upon those who watched
him. He began as lawyer in Lewiston,
soon worked to the head Of the local bar,
and then became active In politics be-
cause be had convictions to serve. He
has taken an active part on every public
question of importance for forty years,
although in the past decade be has been
compelled to conserve his strength. As
a public speaker he had few equals when
be possessed full strength. He was ono
of the peace commissioners who cleared
away the diplomatic debris following
the war with Spain, but his specially
has always been the shipping interests
of the United States.
He was perhaps the most dignified
of the upper House. No mat

ball Circle, Ladies of the g. A. X: The
members Of the several posts and corps

of the day and other fsvoring circum-
atances brought large response to the

Ors arrived on the forenoon trains. In
addition to the invited posts and corps,
the occasion was favored with the pres
ence of the department commander OF
the Maine Grand Army, Rev. j. w.
Webster of Portland. aud members OF
his staff.
From train time until noon the time
was spent informally. At noon q Grand
Army dinner was served In Grand Army
Hall. about hundred guests being seat-
ed at the tables. and it was necessary to
set second table nearly to the capacity
of the hall.
Formal exercises of the day began
early in the afternoon in New Hall.
John NJ. Murch, commander OF VIM. X.
Kimball Post, because of difficulty
with his voice asked W. s. S,arbird to
preside at the exercises. Several local
singers led in the Star Spangled Banner

Rev. j. a. Little OF Bethel, chaplain of
the Department of Maine, Herbert
Hutchins and A. S. Chapman OF Bethel.
None of them spoke at great length or
with special formality, but what they
had to say was largely of that direct and
intimate character appropriately used in
speech by a cOmrade addressed to COM
rades. All urged that the ties Of fra
iernity, so strong from their very ma
lure, should never be allowed to weaken,
but rather made stronger. Reminis- |
,ences of the days of trial, word pictures
If its scenes, and contemplation of the
present prosperity Of this greatest of all
nations, made possible by the soldiers OF
he Union, were the principal themes OF
heir addresses.
Special attention was called before the
program closed to the annual meeting |

MAY Court at Rumford.

On Tuesday of this week the May
term of Supreme Judicial Court for Ok
ford County opens at RumfOrd. Chiel
Justice l.. A. Emery of Ellsworth will
preside. Rooms under Hotel Rumford,
formerly used as a store, will be Occu.
pied for the session.
At the March term, several cases were
assigned for trial on definite day of the
first week of the May term. but this is
not a sure indication that they will be
tried. Doubtless there will be some civil
trials.
Usually no criminal business is trans
acted at the May term except as matter
of convenience to parties. At this term,
however, 1t is expected there will be
some, as the criminal business Of the
March term was largely continued to this
term on account OF the indisposition OF
County Attorney Parker. The most i'm
portant case is the indictment agains,
George Fl. Seavey of Bethel for felonious
assault. The list of indicted parties al
the March term was not long, and there
are few felouies 10 the number.
The traverse jurors have been sum.
moned, according to the practice of Chief
Justice Emery, to appear on the second
day of the term.

service. The other jurors are:

In Q much heralded contest Friday
afternoon at the high school grounds,
the single men won from the married

ball of five innings, the single mems last
half not being played. Most OF the
players on both teams we're "has beens,"
few of them now playing even incident

most OF them were relieved when the
game was flushed. So were some of

giving only two passes and hitting one
batter.
The married mems battery suffered
more changes. For the first of the game
Harold Briggs pitched and DR.. Merrill
caught. DR.. Merrill had to leave, and
Briggs took his place behind tho bat,
Tom Noyes going in to pitch. Briggs
didn't feel that he was q league catcher,
and after he had tried an inning, and had
