WINTHROP WAR VETERANS' BALL Arrangements in Charge of Harrison Gray CrisGrand March Conspicuous by Its Absence. WINTHROP. Jan 21The grand ball and promenade concert of the Winthrop war veterans association at the new Wadsworth hall.

this evening, was without doubt the most successful and enjoyable affair in the history of the town. Veterans elbowed the present generation, and the styles of dancing varied from the old-time courtesy to the modern society effect. while the variety of costume ranged from the blooming maiden in stunning gown, decollete, or the young man in faultless evening dress, to the ancient black silk of the matron. or the Sunday-go-tomeeting suit of the ex warrior, All were happy. The chief factor in this source of happiness a debonair Mr Harrison Gray Otis.

whose ubiquitous presence as floor manager served to make enjoyment a necessity. The new hall was made additionally attractive by graceful pahns and potted plants. Aside from the promenade concert charming little Flossie Kenney added a song or two and some graceful fancy dancing. Mr Otis had the assistance of the town's bright and shining lights as aids, headed by Mr Geo. A.

WASHINGTON. Jan 22In the house Mr Cooper of Texas, Lem. called up the house bill constituting- a new tiiViStoll of the eastern judicial district of Texas. providing for holding court at 111011E, and authorizing the appointment of a clerk for said court, and moved that it be passed, the objections of the president to the contrary notwithstanding. The committee on judiciary room-mended that the bill do so pa9s.

The president's reasons for vetoing the bill were that present secommodations were sufficient for transacting the business arising front the counties included in the proposed new division. Mr Cooper said that he had made several attempts to see the president while the bill was before him. but was unsuccessful, the secretary of the president. who holds the key to the door by which members of congress are admitted to the president." denying him the right. as a representative of the people of his district, to see the executive.

Mr Grosvenor of Ohio said that It was unfortunate for the American people that for three years past few self-respeeting representatives of respectable constituencies would make any effort to see the president. It was represented that he had issued an order that no senator nor representative in congress should present himself in person until he had bowed before a private secretary and received for his errand the sanction of that august personage. "At tints time," continued Mr Grosvenor, "I was in the midst of a matter connected with my official relations to the presilent. and after having concluded it. I tiled a rtatement at the executive mansion that I would never again seek to see the president under the present adminietration.

And I have kept my word. My constituents never commissioned me to percolate m3- business with the executive through the clay of a private secretary." It was unfortunate, Mr Grosvenor went on to say. that the president excluded himself from communication with members of congress. "He surrounds himself with a skirmish line of moderate capacity and keeps himself away from us. I condemn myself for not baying expressed these views two years ago.

when If they had been carefully considered by the parties In interest. there might not now be two or three friends of the president incongress." Mr Dalzell of Penn, repIt will be better in the next administration. Mr GrosvenorI can't speak for that. But I may express the hope that never again will there be an administration which will refuse access to the representatives of the people. The people are greater than the president.

and when he fences himself in he sh9u1d bs careful that the portals are gtiarleft by the highest intellects of the country. Addressing himself to the merits of the bill, Mr Grosvenor said that if the president told the truth in his veto message about the condition of affairs in Texas. the bill ought net to pass. He had a great respect, he said, for the office of president aside from his high regard for the present Incumbent. The bill was passed.

Arlington proved an easy victim last night, which WaS rather a surprise, at that team has been doing excellent work and is the only team that has beaten B. A. A. The failure 'of Arlington to make a better rhowing was due principally to poor first bail work, 30 breaks being made by the team. The spare work wits fine, only 26 misses being made by the 10 men, 10 by B.

A. A. and lfl by Arlington. The game opened poorly for the visitors, who counted only 75 in the first frame. B.

A. piled up a clean frame to start with and made a total of 114 pins in the five boxes. At the half the borne team had a 50-pin lead, which Wall maintained to the end of the string. Arlington won the second string by four pins, both teams doing very groggy work with the exception of who bowled a clean string for 195. Legat4 was the only man to double.

A. A. started the last string with three strikes and two spares. which were duplicated by Arlington. and it looked like a close finish.

In the second box Arlington fell away again. The third and fourth frames were clean for the 11. A. and at the half 469 pins had been knocked down. Only two missed spares and seven breaks were made in the string.

Hill got a break in the second box which soolled another clean string for him. He came out with a total of 192, doubling in the two last Fuller got a triple, followed by the same number of breaks in succession which spoiled a 200 string. Legate made a triple and scored 202. Very few fancy shots were made (Turing the game. Fuller made the 2-4-10 combination, Legate 5-7.

Durgin 3-10 and Carter 1-2-8-7. Hill made 551, which keeps him up at the head of the individual average column of the league. Fuller and Legate passed the five-century mark. while for Arlington, Carter was the only man to do so. Hill, Legate and Carter bowled with only one miss each.

GREAT EAGINEERING FEAT. Holland to Reclaim Many Square Miles MRS NAGLEY'S WAY. Her Husband Could not Forget What She Wanted Even if He Cared To. "Joseph." said Mrs Nag ley, at the breakfast table, "the dour is all out and I want you to stop at the store on your way down town and order another barrel." "All right." replied Nag Ivy, with half of a muffin in his mouth. "You won't forget It, JoNeph?" "Nope." "I don't know what we'd do if yott should forget it.

for its baking day, ani we haven't an ounce of flour in the house." "I won't forget it." ou musnt. Tell them to send good flour" "Yes. I will. Did you know that" "Hadn't you better make a note of it? I'm so afraid you'll forget all about It." "Ill not forget it when I go right by the store door." "You might. and it's as I say, we're entirely out." "I'll have them send it right up.

I see by the morning paper that" "Be sure and tell them to send their best brand. Joseph. and impress upon them that we must have it right away." "All right. I see that" "Tell them that we are entirely out and I'll have to buy baker's bread for tea if they don't send it up right away." "0, they will. I read this morning that" "Don't forget to stop on your N.k ay down this morning, and not put it off until you come home at noon.

We're entirely out. and. as I say, I don't want to buy baker's breadthe nasty stuff!" "Ill stop on my way down." "We'd be in a nice fix with not a bit of flour in the house, if you didn't stop." When Nagley is putting on his overcoat his wife says: "You won't forget about that flour?" "NO, of course not." And when he was going out the front door Mrs Nagley says: "If you should forget to order that "Hut I'll not forget." And when he is half way to the corner the high. shrill voice of Sirs Nagley cuts the air with: "Don't forget that ii-o-o-o-u-r!" And Nagley. being little short of an angel.

The distressing discovery has been made by some Chicago lawyers that what is known as the Plotke ordinance relating to hats worn in theaters will probably be impracticable. as it imposes a Penalty not upon the wearer of the hat. but upon the manager of the theater in which it is worn.

to the annoyance and inconvenience of others in the audience. The Chicago ordinance says that the manager of the theater is to be tined for permitting- or tolerating any one to wear a hat in a theater," but with great gallantry the Chicago aldermen refrained from Imposing any penalty upon the wearer of the hat. She goes free; the manager is to pay. This is an unfortunate romplication which may deprive Plotke of the fame, or some of the fame. whieh would otherwise be his.

one of the witnesses. committed suicide. Up to this morning his reason for the act remained a mystery to the public, but this morning the story was dramatically brought out in court Leslie A. Kenison and Bertha A. Chaplin.

both of Sebago, were brought before Judge Bonney. Kenison retracted his plea of not guilty to an indictment charging him with having made an assault with a deadly weapon on Mark M. Batchelder. and pleaded guilty. He also retracted his plea of not guilty to an Indictment charging him with having committed perjury in the evidence in the Batchelder case given before the coroner's jury at the inquest, and pleaded guilty.

Miss Chaplin also retracted her plea of not guilty to an indictment charging her with committing perjury In her eeldence given before the coroner's jury and pleaded guilty. County Atty Libby then entered a. noll prose as to so much of the indictment against Kenisort as related to the assault with intent to kill and murder, aeid the case was then submitted to Judge Bonner "All I know about thia ease." said Judge Bonney. 'Is what the papers have printed. and.

while they were doubtless correct. still the court would like the whole story. You need not conlitie yourself to legal forms; I want to know as much about these people as I can fled out." County Atty George Libby represented the state. and Hon George M. Seiders and Frederic V.

Chase the respondent. Then the strangest story of what occurred at the Martin house. Dec eti, was told. Mrs Ella Martin, widow of Walter Martin, the man who committed suicide. was the first witness.

Late on the afternoon of Dec 26 Mark M. Batchelder drove up to their house in Sebago, and her huebana. Valter Martin; her brother Henry Flint. and Leslie A. Keniaon.

-You're drunk. GO home to your ramilY. said Mr Martin. At this point Mrs Martin. who feared trouble.

said she went out and got her husband to go back into the house. Then Batchelder turned to Flint and said. -Henry, you're not a good boY-" --What have I done to you. Mr Batcheleer? asked Flint. To that Bateheider made no reply, Out 'tie to Kentson.

-less, you're bad. -I can't help it," replied Kenison. Then Betchelder struck a Mese in the rave. knocking him down. Mrs Martin, said Kenison.

then got up and tried to run frum leatchehler, who fellow ed him. saying: "Lee, if I catch you.
