BASEBALL PARK ABANDONED

Pullman's city baseball park is a
thing of the past. Wednesday Of
this week the fence and grandstand
were torn down and removed and
the ground plowed. The commit
tee from the Chamber Of Commerce,
after a conference with Mrs. Kop-
pell, owner of the property, decided
to abandon the lease, which the
chamber has held for the past four
years. The rental of $50 per year
was considered exorbitant when
weighed against the benefits derived
through the use OF the grounds.

DETECTIVE WITH
N NY ALIASES
Sent TO AUGUSTA

harrington. Me-, Sept. ls.-Detective
Butler Of Lewiston, alias George Butler,
alias Fred Butler Of Rockland, alias De-
tective Nys Of Lewiston, was this morn
ing committed by the selsctmen to the
State hospital At Augusta
This man. who In. IN the opinion Of all
the ofdcials and medical men who have
seen him, demented. first appeared in
Franklin county last week. He acted
suspiciously ana told many strange sto-
fies. His first story was that he was a
detective from Lewiston. Investigation
In that city failed to confirm the state
ment. He said that his name was George
Butler. Later he claimed Rockiand as his
nome. Investigation in Rockland failed
to confirm the statement. Next he said
his name was Fred Butler and that Rock
land was his home. This last has not
been confirmed. He has also told that he
was a detective from Lewiston and that
his name WAS Nye. Lewiston knows of
no such sleuth.
Other stories Of the man are to the
eject that he has been a guard at the
state prison in Thornaston under three
different wardens. that he has guided on
the st. John river and that a year ago
last summer he was a teamster at the
Augusta State hospital. He says he Is
42 years Of age and unmarried
His description is: About As years of
age. SIT. Gin. tall. weight about 1876 lbs.
medium complexion. hair gray. A star
has been tattooed upon his right hand be-
tween the thumb and forehnger and
wrist. On his left cheek there is a scar
coming down from the eye. making cor
ner and extending toward the nose: II is
evidently made by cut. On each temple,
barely concealed by the hair. are scars.

in Boston all summer in spite Of many
protests, and will be seen for q limited
engagement Of three days at City
Opera House, Waterville, beginning
Thurs. mat, Sept. %. 1t is certain to
develop two distinct sets Of opinions
and to provoke no end Of discussion.
for the lesson it is expected to teach
and it is worth seeing, for the story
into which the theme, clearly and in
tentionally an educational one, is
woven.
This story is as delicately drawn as
possible in the circumstances, but
there are no veiled or futive sugges-
tions. The author has pictured a
spade as a spade. If the purpose Of
the drama is realized 1t will not be
because the door is open to a mixed
audience.

Where Is Great War SONG?

It Is strange that our war should not
yet have produced. among any of the
nations concerned. a genuine war
song. like the "Marseillaise" of the
French revolution. or the Marching
Through Georgia" or John Browns
Body" of the American civil war. We
associate "Tipperary" with the war.
but "Tipperary" was already in ex-
istence in August, 1914, and it is only
by the accident of date that our men
did not march to Mons singing Dixie"
or "You Made Me Love You" Now
"Tipperary" Is forgotten, and nothing
has arisen to take its place. For this
purpose the homegrown ballad does
not count In the least.
OF course. a great deaf of topical
doggerel has come from the trenches
and some admirable poetry. but the
real song of the war has yet to be
evolved. What Is 1t that men at the
front sing in the meantime? The cor
respondents do not say much on the
point, but we heard Of the Highland
ers coming out of action the other day
singing the lines:
love nae laddie but ane,
And he lo'es nae lassie but me.

CONTRACT LET
FOR RESERVOIR
TO RUMFORD MAN

The Kennebec Water District let
Monday the contract for the construc-
tion Of their new twenty million gal
lon reservoir to James Kerr Of Rum
ford. The new reservoir, which will
just about complete the water sys-
tenn which supplies the city Of Water
vile and the towns Of Fairneld, Ben
ton and Winslow, will be started at
once and 1t Is hoped to complete 1t
this fall. 1t will be situated on the
old Hall Burleigh farm on the Ridge
road to Fairfield and will, when COM
pleted. cover about nine acres Of land.
1t will be situated in q natural reser-
voir on what is nearly the highest
point of land in this vicinity, being
about 80 feet higher than the old res
'ervoir and adding Is pounds to the
city water pressure The farm on
which 1t is to be situated Is now own
ed by the Finemor, brothers and the
land is now being used for a pasture.
1t Is very high and very little vege-
tation on 1t and Is in every respect al
IDEAL place for the location Of an aux
iliary to the already fine system which
the district now has for supplying
it's patrons with water. 1t is at the
headwaters Of the Hayden brook ans
a deep gulley runs down between two
ridges. the gulley following the course
Of the brook. Across the lower end
of this a dam will be constructed.
The specifications call for this dam to
be Of earth with a concrete core wall.
10 L, of ho ctr n
ped Of all vegetable matter and will
be thoroughly cleaned and looked
over. Around the section to be COW
cred with water will be an enbank-
ment and q drainage ditch which will
prevent any water from outside flow-
ing into the reservoir. The enbank-
ment will be paved with stone. AL
though there is very little chance Of
any drainage gettiag into the reser-
voir without the ditch, 1t will be thor
oughly constructed in order that the
purity Of the water may be thorough
ly safeguarded. The present 14-inch
main which leads to the old reservoir
will be retained and a branch from
1t will lead off to the new one. The
old one will be retained as a further
safeguard. With the new reservoir III
working order Waterville will have in
reserve at all times more than a
weeks supply Of pure water.
Contractor Kerr Is expected to ar
rive on the job early this week with
q big crew and he will rush matters
through to the completion of the con-
tract. The work Is going to be COM
paratively easy from contracting
and engineering standpoint as the
formation is almost ideal for the pur-
pose. 1t will take a good number of
teams to transport the supplies to the
scene as the work is on high land
and is several hundred feet from the
road and it will be necessary to haul
the last part Of the way over a new
made road and up a steep hill.

Economy.

Being economical is an excellent
virtue, but old Skinf1int had prac-
ticed this quality to such an extent
that with him it had become almost
a vice. His wife was sometimes driven
almost to the verge Of distraction by
his meanness. The climax came when
they moved into a new house. When
old Skinflint was out, his wife thought
she would re-paper the walls Of the
drawing room so as to make 1t look at
tractive and pretty. But when Skin
flint saw 1t he nearly had a fit.
II don't dislike the pattern or the
color" he gasped, purple in the face
with rage. but do object to the way
you have put it on. You extravagant
woman! he cried. "how dare you
paste 1t on?"
why. how else could 1 have done
IT." meekly answered his wife.
How else?" he retorted. You
should have tackled it on. You don't
suppose we shall always live in this
house, do you?"
