TRACKS WOULD
REST ON TRESTLE WORK

A startling feature which de-
veloped at the conference on
Nineteenth street yesterday was
the statement of the city sngi-
neer that in all probability the
elevated tracks through the
city in compliance with the
grade crossing plans would rest
on great earthen embankments
some 16 or II feet high. The pop
ular conception had been that
the elevated tracks would be
trestle work.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick stated that
trestle construction would an
swer the purpose all right but
would be much more costly
than embankments. When this
development appeared during
the city engineers talk tho del
egation was startled, for they
appeared to believe this great
embankment running through
the heart of the city woul1 be
unsightly.

The Point Is
Save Something

Saving is not stinginess.
Self-interest demands that
you save a part of your earn
ings for a "rainy day"
Why not open a savings
account with us today and
let your money earn future
money? You may begin
with as little as a one dollar
deposit, il you can't spare
more. The rapid growth of
a small weekly saving is re-
markable.

EDWARD LITTLE HIGH 4; PARIS H1eH2

EDWARD LITTLE HIGH 4; PARIS HIGH Q
There was no celebration by the high
school team Saturday night. Indeed. II
was very quiet crowd that returned
from Auburn on the evening train, after
the game with Edward Little High
School OF that city. Paris high School
met its third defeat for the season, out
of eight games played, the score being 4
too.
1t was q "hard luck" game, as little
study of the detailed score will show.
Although Penfold held the opponents
down to three hits for the game, while
Paris made ten off the Edward Little
pitcher, costly errors lost the game, one
wild throw of Capt. Newton to third let
ting in the two scores which made 3D.
ward Little's surplus. Paris had ten
men left on bases, and Edward Little
seven.
A good crowd of the girls of Paris
High School accompanied the team, and
did their best to help out, but were not
able to accomplish victory. A number
of the men of South Paris were also In
attendance. The girls were enabled to
90 by contributions from the business
men, and they wish to express their ap-
probation and thanks.

Mr.. MACMILLAN Speaks to Seneca Club

On Tuesday evening the members Of
the Seneca Club and the gentlemen, with
a few other guests, making in all party
of about fifty, were invited to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. q. W. Dennison, to
meet Donald B. Macmillan of Freeport,
the Arctic explorer. After all had as.
sembled, a short musical program was
given, including vocal solos BY Miss
Barnes and Mrs. Wilson, duet by Mrs.
Wilson and Mrs. Smiley.
Mr.. Denuisou then presented Mr.. Mac.
Millan,a former sch0olmate, TO the audi
euce, and Mr.. Macmillan spoke of his ex
periences in the North on the expedition
with Commander Peary on which the
latter reached the north pole. Mr.. Mac
MILAN is an intensely interesting speak
or, keen observer, and with rare fac.
ulty of vivid description. For an hour
and half he spoke in his easy manner,
and his audience listened with the clos
est attention and interest. Indeed, after
he had finished and seated himself, his
hearers began asking him questions, and
the informal conversation continued for
some time.
Refres hments were served by Mrs.
Dennison and assistants after Mr..
Macmillan had concluded, and 1t was
about the hour of IL when the guests
left for their homes, feeling that they
had had one of the richest treats OF the
season. Even those who heard Mr..
MacMillsn's lecture on Paris Hill last
winter we're equally interested with
those who had not before heard him, az
much of what he had to present was
new matter, and even II it was not 1t
was nevertheless of great interest.
Mr.. Macmillan was here for the spe-
cial purpose of overseeing the building
of some sledges made by the Paris Man.
ufacturiug Co. for an expedition which
he is shortly to lead into the Arctic.
The North, as Mr.. Macmillan says,
"gets grip on one," and 80 be ia going
back. The expedition will explore
some of that portion of the earth's sur
face which still appears on the maps as
unexplored territory. Looking north
from Cape Thomas Hubbard, Peary has
seen on clear day, with good glass,
what he calls high mountains, at an es.
timated distance of one hundred and
forty miles. If land exists there, 1t has
never been troddeu by the foot Of man
white man, at least. There may be Es'
quimos living there, who think they are
the only people on earth, as did those
north Greenland Esquimos, some over
two hundred in number, when they
were discovered in the first half Of the
ninteenth century. There may be un-
known species of caribou or other
strange animals living there-that Ia
what Macmillan is going to try to find
out.
OF course, whatever the expedition
finds, it will secure extensive scientific
data. 1t will sail from New York, on
the Newfoundland sealer Diana, on the
I'd of July, call at Boston, leave Sydney
on the 18th, and be at the winter quar-
ters in Greenland some time in August.
The steamer will then return, and the
expedition will remain In the North for
three years, steamer going after 1t In
1915.
Mr.. Macmillan Is an enthusiast and q
born explorer, and reports at least inter
esting and probably valuable may be ex.
pected from him when he returns from
the North in three wears.

A very pretty wedding occurred at the
home of Silas p Maxim on Wednesday,
May rs, at s o'clock, when s. Sanger

with piece of tho ribbon, and these
were given BY the bride to the guests.
The bride was attended by her father,
Albert X. Whitman, and sister, Lulu NJ.
w. Tyler, both of Oxford. The BRIDES
travelling suit was of brown.
The groom is a well known business
man of South Paris.

ments OF ice cream, cakes, assorted
crackers, etc, were served.

al trip in their auto across the country,
and on returning will reside at South

home awaiting them. May their path
way always be strewn with sunshine
without a cloud. /.

by Henry Maxim, adjutant OF VIM. &.
Kimball Post, showed SO graves decorat-
ed in Riverside Cemetery, and 81 in
other cemeteries in town.
The address Of the dav was given by
Rev. Chester Gore Miller, and was an
eloquent setting forth of the nominal
causes of the civil war and its real cause,
slavery; of the bardships and su6eriDgs
endured by the soldiers in the greatest
conflict of history, who have made our
country what it is-hardships and suffer
iugs such as can not be fully realized
by the younger generation, but which
they must never be allowed to forget;
and of the problems which the country
now has to face, and which must be met
and solved. No mere abstrac, can dn
the address justice, and it will not be at

Mrs. Angeliue T. Forbes died at her
home on Porter Street, South Paris, at l
O'Clock Thursday, May 20. The end
came quite suddenly at last, though not
unexpected, as she had been for lorg
time growing infirm, and for some
months had been nearly helpless. Her
faculties we're but little impaired, and
her months Of feebleness were attended
by no severe suffering.
Mrs. Forbes was the daughter OF Joel
B. and Mary Dudley Thayer, aud was
born in Albany, Maine, Dec. 2, 1928.
While a young child she came with her
parents to Paris, which town was ever
after her home, except for few years
spent in the West in her early woman
hood, during portion OF which time
she was engaged in teaching.
She married, in 1857, Elbridge Forbes
of Paris, who died in 1892. Two chill
dren were born to them, both OF whom
are living, Miss Fannie A. Forbes and
Arthur Z. Forbes, both of South Paris.
A granddaughter of Mr.. Forbes, formerly
Miss Una P. Taylor, now Mrs. Ira Mour-
MAN of Fossil, Oregon, was also reared
by Mrs Forbes, aud was an immediate
member of the family from the death oil
her own mother when she was two years
of age, until her departure for the West
few years since. There are also living,
of children of Mr.. Forbes by former
wife, who have called her by the title OF
mother, Mrs. L. C. Morton of South
Paris, Mrs Clara A. Bessey of Stoneham,
Mass, Rev. 81. p. Forbes, ID. D., Of Can
ton, n. Y. and Mrs. George B. Crockett
of South Paris. Though she had no
grandchildren of her own. there are a
large number of the third and fourth
generation who have called her BY tina,
name. Mrs. Forbes only brother died
in Iowa few years since, and the mem
bers of his family are now residents oil
that state.
Mrs. Forbes was one of the oldest
members of the Paris Hill Baptist
church, having joined it in early life
Her life was characterized by Industry
and service for others.
The funeral, which was held at hel
late home at half-past one Sunday, was
attended by Rev. G. W. F. Hill OF the Paris
Hill Baptist church, assisted by Rev. E
A. Davis of the South Paris Baptist
church. Burial was beside her late
husband, in the family lot in the buryine
ground in the Forbes District.

Johns Letter.

"Moth rash" is the name OF it. DR..
Francis j. Keaney, skin specialist, says
Don't scratch, don't use soap and
water, and don't expose the rash to wind
and heat. Use cooling, evaporating
lotion four or five times day. The
most common formula for . letion is
half dram of of carbolic acid and half
an ounce of zinc oxide to pint Of lime
water. This should be applied four OF
five times day with soft piece OF
flannel"
We have a little "don't" in our diary.
Don't come within speaking distance OF
a brown-tail moth nest after the pests
are ready for business. We did, and we
have a neck on us that is not as it used
to be. Before we read the "don't" OF
DIR. Keapey We scratched because we
felt that way. Aud before We knew OF
his cooling lotion We sopped the rash
with ammonia. Whether 1t will kill us
OF the rash is a question for the future
to answer. He says "Nothing else
should be used" This is written fol
those whom it may concern.
