# GAELIC LEAGUERS AT MERRY PICNIC ## Football and Other Sports at Reservoir—Priests Join in Amusements. At 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning the members and friends of the Gaelic league left town in wagons for the reservoir for their second annual picnic. The day was perfect, the way was made merry with music and singing. Two wagons, decorated by James Hurley and driven by President James and Patrick Scanlon, carried the children. The party arrived at the picnic grounds about noon, and immediately the sports began. The following young ladies played a game of football: Team No. 1—Katie Holland, Annie Shea, Irene McDonnell, Julia Woods and Julia Sullivan. Team No. 2 were the victors. After this the men took the field and a lively game of Gaelic football ensued. John Lynch and his team, consisting of John McCarthy, James Murphy, Joe Hartigan, Dennis Dunn, John Crowley, Father Phelan, Father O'Kennedy, and Rev. Mr. Drehan, played a team with Father Crowley as captain. The players in the latter team were J. J. McCarthy, T. O'Mara, Walter Sewell, J. J. Crowley, Dan Leahy, Mike Sullivan, Dennis O'Neill and Robert Slattery. Judge Lynch tried hard to win, and would have done so if the others did not make a few points more than he. The result of a sport program on foot races. Father O'Kennedy came in first in the priests' race, and Walter Sewell proved himself the fleetest of the fat men. F. J. Sullivan was a close second, but the grass was too slippery for John O'Hearn, so he stopped (?) half way on the course. Maggie O'Brien won the young ladies' race and Mike Sullivan the young men's race. Mrs. McDonnell came in first in the married ladies' race. Katie Harrington received a box of candy for reaching the goal first in the sack race. A baseball game, officiated for the boys, was greatly enjoyed. Kelly, son of James McCarthy, won a baseball by coming in second. After the sports the party divided into groups, some going up to the reservoir and others gathered along the beautiful gravel walks. About 7 o'clock they started home, arriving in town at 9. They attracted much attention in the streets and they started singing "Where the River Shannon Flows" and "My Wild Irish Rose." The members of the picnic committee were: Reverend Murphy, John O'Brien, Patrick Scanlon, Mitchell Henican, J. J. Crowley, J. J. McCarthy, Julia Harrington, Katie Holland, Nellie Sullivan, Miss O'Brien, Mrs. Harrington, Mabel Layden and Mary Hassey.

Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 28.—The special committee of the insurance commissioners of the United States made public at Milwaukee, August 23, a report of its investigations, finding that the settlement methods of a number of industrial, health and casualty insurance companies were very strongly criticised by the committee, which at the time made public a list of 14 insurance companies whose methods it had examined. The criticisms did not, however, apply to the Standard Life and Casualty company of New York, which was mentioned on the published list and examined. Its report on this company as follows: "Considered as a whole, however, the methods of this company in its adjustment with policy holders are refreshingly honest and fair, and the committee cheerfully accords such company the commendation it deserves." The Standard Accident company of Detroit and the Massachusetts company of Boston were also commended by the commission, which announced also that it found nothing improper or reprehensible in the methods of adjustment of claims of the Aetna Life Insurance company of Philadelphia, the Equitable Accident Insurance company of Boston, or the Federal Casualty Company of Detroit. **MATTINGLEY'S.** Headquarters for Arrow collars.

Robert McAuley was given a divorce from Austrian Jan Doe in Judge Dunlap's court this morning. The grounds were unlawful cohabitation with an Austrian who is mentioned in the complaint as John Doe, because that doesn't appear to be his name. McAuley married the girl July 20, of last year, in Butte. Early this year she took up with another man she liked better and went to live with him on Flan Broadway. They were known to be living together as man and wife. For while it looked as if the woman would be unable to secure the required Will Burta to defend her and she entered a default and the divorce was to be granted; however, the demurrer was withdrawn and W. H. Mahoney, attorney for McAuley, filed briefing the suit and the defendant was called for. The husband and four other witnesses all testified to the young woman living with the Austrian since early last spring, and that they were known to the neighbors as man and wife. "Decree is granted," said Judge Dunlap. "And now," to Deputy County Attorney McAuley "you'd better look after that Austrian." "That will be done tomorrow; Judge Paley will look after his case." ### LIQUOR VOTE IN MAINE. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
