dinand Pinney Earle, the American
artist, and Miss Charlotte Herman,

two days trial.
Earle was sentenced to serve two
months in prison, and to pay fine or
S5, and Miss Herman to month in

Lewiston City Council Votes to
Buy Tract for Big Baseball Field

Mr.. Pennell after seeing the large
amount of grading required lost no
time in getting Mr.. Woods on the toll
line to tell him that the price OF $780,
600 in view of the excessive expense
necessary would be a burden to the
city, whereupon the price was dropped
to $4,000. This is considered a remark
able bargain by sound business men.
The tract is one-half of a section as
sessed by the city for $4,000.
The field is large enough for cir
cular cinder running track. four laps
to the mile, the baseball diamond will
be laid out with regard to converting
it into a football field in the fall. The
field is primarily an athletic field for
Lewiston incidentally the Lewiston
New England League Cupids will make
it their home.
Wallace H. White, Jr., at the meet
ing of the joint committee sounded
the note that ought to reach the minds
of linking Lewiston men and women,
when he said that he hoped the field
would be the first step toward mu-
nicipaI gymnasium after the general
style of the Y. M. C. A. gymnasiums

According to the statistics of the
last japanese Blue Book, there are
very few japanese women who do not
marry. The majority of Japanese girls
marry at twenty-one years of age. The
men usually marry at twenty-six. but
marriage at the age of fifteen is not
unknown, and four thousand marriages
at the age of seventeen were register
ed in the case of men last year, while
seven thousand girls of the age Of six
teen were married. The number of
women who married at thirty was
only one thousand more. but the num-
ber of men who set up house for them
selves at thirty was eighteen thou
sand. The decline in the figures after
this is rapid; only 300 men and 1000
women of the age of forty married
last year in Japan. Practically every
Japanese man who does not Join a
Buddhist monastery marries. The old
bachelor and the old maid are almost
unknown in the land of the chrysan-
themum Westminster Gazette.

sides the pupils of the elementary

HURRY ACTION ON TRUST BILLS

The bill as drawn provides for trace
commission of three at $4,000 a year sal

Unlike the original Clayton interstate
trade commission bill, it makes no spe-
cinc reference to the commissioner OF

commission. The bill applies to all cor
norations. Joint stock companies and cor
porate combinations having capital OF

question of publicity of the other reports

II stands, this is left to the discretion OF

The Community
Concert Sunday

The Community concert held Sunday
afternoon at Library hall was one of the
most successful of the season. Every
seat in the hall was taken and all stand
ing room occupied. All those who desired
could not gain admission and even the
stairway was crowded. Miss Presson was
in splendid voice and sang in a way that
delighted the large audience, being en-
cored on each selection and receiving
double encore on THE Swallows .4er
last song. But three more of these con-
certs are to be given this spring and 1t
is the wish of many that they might be
extended through the month of April.
