It's about lime Welsh was coming

has engagedEn just one twenty round
encounter s&nd he was careful to
pick out Charlie White of Chicago
as his oppolent. Now they're about
ready to sekd Welsh out against
White for a{other marathon engage

Welsh Is whirlwind in ten

fast and block so cleverly there isn't
a chance of kny lightweight getting
close enough 10 slip over finishing

he could not rJn away over that dis

State House Chat

The board Of trustees Of the State
Schools for. Boys and Girls, with Miss
Gertrude L. Macdonald, superintendent
Of the School for Girls at Hallowell. and
Architect VIM. G. Bunker Of Augusta,
had a conference Wednesday afternoon
az the State House in reference to the
new building for that school authorized
by the Legislature at the last session.
Sketches were shown By Mr. Bunker
which were satisfactory to the officials
present and it is hoped that work can
be started and continued at a rate to
render the completed building ready for
occupancy as soon as possible, as the
overcrowded condition Of the present
buildings makes the inconveniences very
pronounced
Adiutant General George Mel Presson
was on Wednesday receiving the congrat-
uations Of his many friends on the ar
rival Of another birthday. The general
said that a very important event took

because he was there. He admits ha--
Ing been too young to serve in the Civil
war. but he has seen no little amount OF
military service since that time
It Is said that the offers Of enlistment
IN the Maine Signal Corps are not COM

Headquarters. at the Blaine mansion. but
