The last amendment to the Bankrupt law

The only way that HOMESTEADS can be
secured is by taking the benefit of the Bank

BELFAST, Nov. 17.-In the Gordon case MI
Mcclellan commenced his argument for the
prisoner this morning, and had not concluded
when the court adjourned at noon.
He enlarged upon the insufficency of any
motive on the part of the accus ed: that the cir
cumstauces surrounding him were exaggerated;
and that nothing in his conduct at the time OF
and since the murder, Indicted his guilt. He
contended that not single fact proved by the
government brings the crime home to him.

An excellent audience, considering the I'M
propitious weather, assembled at India street
church last evening to listen t, the scholarly
lecture of Mr.. A. F. Lewis of Fryeburg, on the
wonders of the Yo Semitic. Those who braved
the rigors of the night were amply repaid, and
expressed themselves as being highly pleased
with the vividness of Mr.. Lewis descriptions,
the vigor of his thought and the ease of his de-
livery.
Mr.. Lewis began by saying that the total
number of health and pleasure seekers who
crossed the ocean the past season amounted to
quite $4,000. While confessing his own desire
to see the historic lands numbered with their
weight of memories, he believed our own more
than imperial domain, with its great distances,
its magnificent scenery, its ruins more ancient
than any left by man,-ruins of ancient physi-
cal formations, presented even more inviting
field for the tourist. Beyond the Mississippi
and the plains and the great Western noun
tain range of the American contin ent, is to be
found the region of the Yo Semitic, region
which was, few years since, almost an IN
known land, famous chiefly for the extrava-
giant tales of miners and mining stock holders,
for the exploits of the heroes of the bowie knife,
and the revolver. Of late it has become cele-
brated the world over for the grandeur of its
scenery, and for the unexampled, sometimes
even grotesque forms in which nature has man
ifested herself. The speaker then entered upon
minute and carefully written account of the
wonders of the Yo Semitic, displaying net only
keen observation, but graphic power of de-
scription as we'll. He was highly interesting
throughout, and his audience found themselves
surprised and delighted. Mr.. Lewis is evident
ly man who keeps his eyes open, sees all there
is to be seen, and knows how to tell it in a most
attractive way.

Fifty years ago last night our venerable ana
universally respected fellow citizen, Oliver Ger
IRISH, was made a Royal Arch Mason in MI.
Vernon Chapter, and the occasion was speciai-
ly taken to invite all old members of the Chap-
ter and all who had ever been members to be
present at its stated meeting which, by happy
coincidence, occurred on this semi-centennial
night There was very large attendance OF
companons-gray heads being abundant. The
occasion was graced by the presence of the
Grand High Priest of Maine, Horace H. Bur
bank, and Deputy Grand High Priest, Henry
L. Paine After the regular work of the Chap
ter, under the graceful supervision of the pre-
siding officer, Joseph Y. Hodsdon, the company
marched to the banquet hall where handsome
collation. was spread, after partaking of which,
Comp Stephen Berry was called upon for
historical retrospect of the fifty years of mem
bership OF the honored guest of the evening"
1t appears that there are but two older MEM
bers than Mr.. Gerrish now living-Charles Far
ley, who Joined in 1917, who sent a letter of
greeting from Boston, and Joseph Harrod, who
joined in 1918, and now resides in Baltimore.
Of those nearly his contemporaries are David
Burbank, now of Baltimore, who joined in 1924,
Marcian Seavey of Portland, who was present,
and Ruel Washburn of Livermore, both of
whom joined in 1926 Oliver B. Dorrance, an
other contemporary, has died since the last
stated meeting. Many interesting incidents of
this long period were given, and many anec-
dotes of old members and citizens, whose faces
were once familiar in Masonic halls and on our
streets, were told. The record was listened to
throughout with earnest attention and ELECTED
hearty approval.
Mr.. Gerrish responded very happily, express
ing great qualification at meeting SO many of his
brethren, old and new, whose advent he had
witnessed, and giving many "reminiscences of
olden time.
Remarks were made by brethren Marcian
Seavey, DR.. Moses Dodge, Warren Phillips. G..
H. P. Burbank, Ira Berry, VIM. E. Gibbs
and others.
Then this most agreeable season came to a
close having been,a cordial tribute of respect
and affection on the part of all his brethren to
their venerable friend whose beautiful life
serves as a constant guide to high, true and
kindly action, and whose very presence, in his
lovely aud beloved old age, seems perpetual
henadiotinn
