weather conditions and the wet and

the Westerly high school team from
playing a game on the Vose grounds

was lacking in some of the regular
players, but they started in to defeat

easy. for he is credited with eighteen
strike outs. That's ahvnt all there was

OLD FORT GEORGE
Interior of Maine Fortress Is Now
a Ball Ground.
Historic Earthworks Built by the Brit

Of EngIand's kIns-outlinss
Still Visible.

Augusta, Me.-Ancient Pentagoet.
better known as Castine, situated on
the eastern side of Penobscot bay and
river, is one of the most prominent
historic spots In Maine today. 1t has
preserved the well-marked traces OF
the works of the past and no small
settlement has within its borders 80
many earthworks and old forts. Fore
most among the earthworks Is Fort
George, situated on the high land In
the center of the peninsula. 1t was
built by the British In June, 1779, and
was named Fort George in honor OF
his majesty, George III. The fort is
tetragonal in form with. bastion at
each of the four angles. The bastion
where was located the magazine was
fully occupied by 1t, the entrances be-
ing made Of arch passages OF brick,
which may be seen today, covered
with r-ortar, and over them layer
of logs with a heavy covering of
earth.
According to tradition and history.
1t was from these same barracks that
Gen. Peleg Wadsworth escaped when
held a prisoner in 1880, after being
captured by the English at his home
In Thomaston and taken sto Castine,
where he was confined for long time.
Following the departure of the British
from Castine in 1915 the Americans
took possession of the fort and the
government, had 1t repaired, strength
ened and sarrisoned, new barracks
taking the place Of those used by the
British. The interior Of the fort has
long been used by the boys as a ball
ground. The foundations of the old
barracks are still visible.
History says that it was in this old
fort that the gibbet was erected on
which both Ball and Elliott were
hanged. Both names were well
known in the early period of Maine

disappeared, but otherwise the old
fort remains practically the same as
when the British left it.
In early February of 1880, while
the country was In session of quiet
ude following the conflicts of the pre-
ceding fall. General Campbell, then
in charge of the garrison at Fort
George, learning that his hated Amer
lean foe, Gen. Peleg Wadsworth, was
at his home on the st. George river
In Thomaston, determined to make
him a prisoner. The British general
hearing that his only guard was six
soldiers, he detailed Lieutenant Stock
ton with force of twenty-five men to
make the capture. A sharp sanguin-
airy fight took place, in which several
of the British soldiers were killed and
wounded.
The news Of the capture preceded
the detachment on their return to
Castine. The story is here told that
General Campbell sent his compli-
ments to General Wadsworth and a
surgeon to dress his wounds, assuring
him that his situation would be made
comfortable He was furnished with
books and allowed to receive visitors.
He dined with the commandant and
met all the principal officers of the
garrison.
1t was not long before General
Wadsworth made application for a
flag Of truce, by which means he
could transmit letter to the COVER
nor of Massachusetts and another to
Mrs. Wadsworth. This was granted
on the condition that the letter. to the
governor should be inspected.

BENJAMIN Burton he bribed their wa

One stormy night they cut their way
out with a knife and escaped For
miles they were forced to go through
the then wilderness. crossing the
river to Stockton, thence south
through Belfast. Northport and Rock
land to Thomaston. The fort was
finally vacated in 1915.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

1T is just year ago that my Sis
ter came over here to US. She had
been here only few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as II she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home RENE
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with. and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
In the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor. because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was very severe disease, and
II she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them. and gave her various
ointments. In the two and half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that We thought we would try it, and
We cannot be thankful enough that we
used 1t. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes. and after month there was no
longer any mucous or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured"

South Australia is suffering from a

maids were abolished in that state by
act of parliament. No more could be
legally engaged, but those already en-
ployed could remain on condition that
they registered themselves.
There are now only 400 of them left,
and the competition for their serv-

jumped from rs shillings to a3 a

about the preparations for the event

Stockholm IN its arrangements for the
international meeting Of 1912. The
Stadium, which Is In course Of erec-
ton, and will be completed this year,
will be q most imposing permanent
structure. far more pretentious and
costly than the plain enclosure bearing

last games in London It's site is in
the most fashionable quarter of the
Swedish capital The government is
defraying viii become owner of the
building and grounds.
Purple brick and granite are the
materials which the architect, Torben
Grui. is employing for the structure.
The architects plan shows a perfect
ampitheater, entirely rooted over and
situated at the foot Of a hill which
forms the northern side of the build
ing. There will be running track OF
four laps to the mile, and grass foot
ball and athletic field which can be
transformed in winter to a skating
rink. Most Of the seats for the Olym-
pic games will be temporary, and alto
gether $4,000 spectators can be accom-
modated.
In its architecture the great build
ing will be a fine example of me-
diaeval Swedish art. The gates and
arcades are vaulted, blocks of granite
are inlaid on the brick walls with a
series of sculptured Swedish heroes
and eighteen gods and goddesses will
decorate the gates to the entrance
stairs.
Two massive brick towers surmount
the eastern and western gates, and be-
hind them are buildings containing
large assembly, halls. At the center Of
the northern arcade is handsome
gate through which all the competi-
tors will march into the arena on the
first day of the games. Opposite this
stands the royal box surmounted by q
golden canopy.
