Bath Times Aug is: The children
of the Bath Naval and Military Or
phan Asylum were guests today Of
the Lewiston, Augusta & Waterville
Street Railway, on a days outing at
Lake Auburn. The trip was made in
a special trolley car, Conductor Preble
and Motorman Coombs. The party
numbered sixty. They were accom-
panied by President James S. Lowell
and Henry w. Howard of the Board
Of Trustees, Miss Brown, the matron,
and Miss Natalie Brown, the. assist
ant matron. The children are given
days outing once a year by the
railroad officials and it is gala
event for them. There is no ex-
cursion party Of the season out of
Bath that is happier than the chill
dren from the Orphans Home. Lat
err in the season they will be enter
tanned by the Kennebec Yacht Club
with a days outing on the river.
A sad case is told a Pressure Isle
correspondent of an Englishman and
his family who came to Presque Isle
over a year ago from Canada expect
ing to make more of financial sue
cess, thinking they surely could in the
States. The man whose name we
withhold. settled with his family on
the Donaldson farm five or six miles
out and tried very hard to succeed
but could not seem to turn his efforts
to account. Later he walked to Mars
Hill trying for work but being mex
perienced could not get any. Recent
ly as last resort he walked to Wood
stock, N. B., and enlisted in the army.
He wrote to his wife that If God was
good to him he hoped they might be
happily reunited. If he could not re-
turn to her he would die like many
another good man for his country.
The wife has boy and girl with her
still on the farm and no rent is charg-
ed for the house in which she lives,
as her only means Of support is the
prospective wages Of two older sons
who are working in Ottawa for $12
and SIS a month respectively. On the
strength of this she is able to get
few groceries and with the help Of
friends she with her two small chill
dren is able to subsist."
Just as the special train CARRYING
over 800 happy picknickers to the 10th
annual outing Of the Westbrook Board
