Stock..Market
Bounds Upward,

New York Nov 6.-After an early pc
riod of uncertainty, todays stock mar
ket suddenly forged upward on very
large volume of business. recording net
gains of two to four points in many of
the more important cases. To what ex-
tent the rise was prompted by yesterdays
election or to the general prosperity of
the country, or perhaps TO the conjunc-
ton of these conditions, must remain a
matter of conjecture. 1t is noteworthy,
however, that the market was at its
best in the final hour. when statement.

We're purchasers of our stocks both in

and private advices from abroad We're of

with complaceney. These adeices Were
supplemented By the favorable comment
of local banking and industrial interests.
Over all was a feeling of relief that
henceforward politics would cease to be
a paramount factor
The financial community Is not unmind
full of the fact that the Democratic par

that situation may be expected to find

Quite apart from domestic considera-

immediate future of our market rests in
a large measure on the outcome of the
war in southeastern Europe. Today's
dispatches from foreign centers on that
point were more encouraging.

COLLEGE CHAT.
Continued from Page Tenn


ward an inspiring address on the RE
lation of Chemistry to the Industries of
Maine was delivered by DR.. Arthur D..
Little of Boston. president of the Amer
lean Chemical Society and director OF
the famous Little Laboratories of Bos-
ton.
DR.. Little is chemist with large prac-
teal experience, especially along the line
of pulp and paper industries, and num-
Der of men interested in these lines were
present. After touching on the general
relation of chemistry to the textile, lum-
ber pulp and paper industries the
speaker took up certain topics which
seemed to be of special Importance In
considering Names Industrial future.
A feature of the meeting was the at
tendance of a number of superintendent
and engineers directly interested in act
ual manufacturing. The willingness of
these people to cooperate in this move
ment is shown by the fact that some of
the companies paid the expenses of their
chemists to have them attend. BY spe-
cial arrangement, quite a number of un-
dergraduate students in chemistry anu
chemical engineering at the University
of Maine Were present.
Provision was made at the meeting for
the admission of corporations as MEM
bers of the local section. The place and
date of the next meeting was not an
nouneed. Although the headquarters OF
the section are at the University of
Maine. it is planned to hold meetings in
various parts of the State in order that
chemists and manufacturers may become
better acquainted and. in so far as pos
sible. be of mutual assistance.

clared that There is absolutely nothing
for the honest and enlightened business

Democratic administration.
To President Taft at Washington, Pres
ident-eIect Wilson sent the following tel

President-elect Wilson sent to Colonel
Roosevelt at oyster Bay the following
telegram:
MY sincerest thanks for your kind

President-elect Wilson made the fol-
lowing statement. this afternoon
THE result fills me with the hope that
thoughtful, progressive forces of the ma
ton may now at last unite to give the
country freedom of enterprise and gov
eminent released. from all corporate and
private Influences, devoted to justice and
progress. There is absolutely nothing
for the honest and enlightened business
men of the country to fear. No man
whose business is conducted without vio-
lation of the rights of free competition
and without such private understanding
and secret alliances as violate the prin-
ciple of our law and the policy of all
wholesome commerce and enterprise need
fear either interference or embarrass-
ment from the administration. Our hope
and purpose is now to bring all the free
forces of the nation into active and in
teliigent cooperation and TO give to our
prosperity a freshness and spirit and a
confidence such as it has not had in our
time.
The responsibilities of the task are
tremendous but they are common respon
sihnities which all leaders of action and
opinion must share And with the conf
dence of the people behind US everything
that is right is possible. Ny own ambi-
ton will be more than satisfied il | may
be permitted to be the frank spokesman
of the nations thoughtful purposes in

Relics of the Twentieth Legion I'm.
earthed at Chester, England.

The Chester fntirmary occupies a
site which is locally referred to as the
plague field" The site seems to have
acquired its unsavory name from the
( fact that casual discoveries of human
remains in the infirmary field in years
gone by had led to the supposition
that they were the victims of the
great plague. The recent unearthing
of remains in larger numbers on the
site of the extension of the infirmary
led to an investigation by Prof. Rob-
ert Mewstead. who now reports that
the evidence proves conclusiyely that
the infirmary field was not used as a
burying ground during the outbreak
of the plague, and that all the burials
which have been SO far unearthed be-
long 10 the Roman period.
-Four distinct types of graves have
been uncovered. One is tomb form
ed of local sandstone, evidently repre-
senting burial of some importance,
as the walls of the tomb are covered
in plaster. and the dome of the struc-
tnre originally stood out in marked
contrast to the surrounding surface of
ian, FORMING distinct tumulus.

placing Roman roofing tiles bearing
the stamp of the Goth Legion upon the
floor and also ut the sides, the legion
f.ry stamps always facing inward.
Another type of burial was formed by
placing roughly hewn sandstone so
u hat a Nshaped trough was formed
for the reception of the body. A
fourth type of grave consists of a sim
pie trench ding III the solid clay at a
depth of not mere than two feet from
The original land surface.
The Roman origin of the graves is
borne out by the fact that bronze
coins of the Emperors Antonius Plus
and Gommodus have been found in
them. Such coins We're placed usually
IN the mouth Of the deceased. and are
genera lily referred to as "Charon's
massage fare" 10 expedite the passage
OF the souls across the Styx, as it was
believed that the person who had not
received the usual rites of burial, and
IA whose mouth NO fee for the ferry
man OF the Stygian lake had been
placed, would wander hopelessly on its
banks, while q decent interment and
small coin would obviate any dis
agreeable inquiries that Charon might
else be Inclined to make.
Another interesting discovery in one
OF the graves is a terra Gotta lamp
Which was also one Of the usual Of
ferings to tht dead, and served as an
emblem Of Immortality. This was
probobly filled with oil and placed in
the grave lighted. A number Of
large nails. probably symbolical of
time or money, as well as remains of
Roman sandals, have been found ia
many Of the graves The last Ro-
man grave just nnearthed in the pro-
cess of excavation contained three
urns, in one OF which was metal
mirror.
Ia removing the clay which formed
tie floor of one Of the graves there
was found a stone implement belong
ing To the Neolithic period. Prof.
Newsteaxl regards this discovery as
exceedingly interesting. as affording
further evidence that Chester was in
all probability prior TO the Roman oc-
eupation Inhabited by early man.

of a Hunter Comes True

Fortune Came Upon Him in

A Black Fox, a Gray Fox, Two Reds
And a Big Buck.

Rising to a fortune in night

rim Of Canaan, Monday, declares the
Skowhegan CORE spondent of the Ken

The story seems like a hunters
yarn but it is verified by Sheriff John
A. Mooers Of Skowhegan. and a tale
is connected with il that requires the
working of the law to straighten out
difficulties arising from this remark
able experience. The story is that
Mr.. Herrin, about week ago, start
ed from his home in Canaan and go
ing through the woods toward Pitts
field, set his traps for foxes He set
one near the premises of a farmer in
West Pittsfeld with the farmers per-
mission. Heswent TO his trap several
times but found no game. until Mon
day. of this week, when he approach
ed his first trap. To his great amaze
ment a black fox was found in 1t. He
did not kill this animal but bound IL
in q way to get it to the roadside.
where his wife was awaiting with a
team. The fox is now securely pen
ned and alive.
Mr.. Herrin went back to look at the
rest of his traps and the next two
that he came to had red foxes in them.
lie killed these and skinned them. Go
ing several miles further TO another
trap he found a gray fox. which he
also killed and skinned. His head
swimming with delight and almost too
happy to contain himself, he hurried
out of the woods to the road, where
by agreement his wife was waiting.
When he got out there. to his great
amazement, he found that his wife had
shot big buck deer. She said thai
while sitting in the carriage, quietly
waiting her husbands return, holding
her rifle in her lap. thinking she might
see a partridge. she suddenly saw the
head of a big buck short distance
awav. She deliberately but slowly
raised her rifle and aimed as near To
the deer's shoulder as she could ami
fired. The deer dropped but rose
again. but after leaping but fef'
rods fell dead.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herrin went on to ex-
anime more of their traps. and when
they approached the farm buildings
where they had set the trap they
found that the trap was gone and
that by appearance an animal had
been caught in it. Further investiga-
ton proved to Mr.. Herrin that il must
have been a black fox. He went 10
the farm house and inquired about II
but got no satisfaction. He did find,
however, that the trap had been moved
by somebody and he claimed to Sher-
if Mooers that indications We're thae

Mr.. Herrin came to Skowhegan,
Tuesday to have search warrant IS
sued to search the premises but 1t be-
ing election day the warrant was not
served until Wednesday. In the
meantime Mr.. and Mrs. Herrin WIZ
celebrate in their quiet way and plan
for the future use of the money to be
obtained for the fox skins. They are
farmers in moderate circumstances
and they believe that prosperity IS
smiling upon them.
