THE OTHER SIDE.
The Double scull Championship.

The Boston Sunday Herald says: Under
dste of March Sd Hamm and Conley of Hall
fax wrote a letter to Davis and Kennedy OF
Portland, reviewing the challenges OF last taii
for double scull race on one side and series
Of races on the other, taking Davis to task lof
retiring from boating competition, ana ohai-
longing Davis and Kennedy to double sculi
race for $1,000 side. AS Davis IS no longer
partner of Kennedy, and their double souiilng
"team" no longer exists because OF DAVIS re-
tirement, Davis and Kennedy treated the COM
munication with silence. Since then the letter
has been published, in the hope that the Port
land sculers would decide to reply in some
form Davis, however, objects, under any circum
stances, to holding correspondence with the
Halifax oarsmen, whom he condemns for is
suing challenge last fall, and then, when he
and his partner offered to row them, not only
collectively but individually, abandoned the
field and put him to considerable loss OF time
and money The title of champion double
scullers'' is now an open one, Davis having
ceased rowing in races. Gaudaur and Trickett
challenged Hamm and Conley at Toronto last
summer, but the Nova Scotians would not
row. Now Gaudaur aud Trickett are separated.
When Davis and Kennedy proposed double
and single scull races with the Halifax oars
men they deposited $1,000 at this office to
show, as preliminary, that they meant bust
ness. Davis will not row again, and under
the circumstances modesty would suggest to
American oarsmen the improperly of chel-
lenginga man who is not open to challenge.
A. Al. -
champion scullers," it is their privilege to
challenge any two oarsmen in the world, at
the same time making deposit large enough
to give confidence of their intention to row
race; then. if they receive no acceptances they
can justly claim the title, which at present
'goes-a-begging.

little boy some four years old belonging to
Robert Davis of Limington near Steep Falls
was out on Thursday last where some larger
boys we're throwing stones AS one of them
drew his hand behind him to throw his stone,
the little boy ran behind him when one of his
knuokles struck the little boy in the eye BURST
ing the eye, letting out its contents and totally
destroying it. DIR. Moulton was Immediately
summoned who dressed 1t and at last accounts
the boy was getting along we'll.
Services were holden at the Congregational
church on Fast day. A sermon was preached
by Rev. E. s. Pitts from Joel O. 1918 Mr..
Pitts took occasion to speak Of national sins.
Among them intemperance, its alarming ex-
tent and expense from statistics; another, the
Norman question, its past, present and future,
and an appeal to all Christian people to stand
shoulder to shoulder and crush ont this evil, a
twin to slavery, that threatens the subversion
OF this nation. Another national evil, crime,
causes, LIST, the prevalence OF intemperance; I'd,
due to the impure and sensational literature.
Cases were cited where boys who from imita-
ton of some characters Of whom they had
read in some thrilling story had committed
high crimes and even murder; Sd, due to the
maudlin sympathy for criminals, so many at
tempts to free criminals on the ground OF in
sanity. A criminal was no less criminal
though insane. Closing by repeating the
words of inspiration, therefore also now saith
the Lord turn ye even to- me with all your
heart and with fasting and with weeping and
with mourning and rend your heart and not
yonr garments and turn unto the Lord your
God, for he Is gracious and mercifui, slow TO
anger, and of great kindness" K.

why People Do Not Go to church.

At WillistOn church yesterday morning Rev.
Mr.. Clark preached upon the subject of church
attendance in early life The text was in
Isaiah 2: 3-"Come ye, let us go up to the
mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God
OF Jacob. The preacher said that we can hard
ly have an idea of the enthusiastic veneration
with which the ancient Jews looked upon their
temple. David rejoiced at the thought OF go
ing to the house of God Times have sadly
changed since David. 1t is not now always a
cause of joy to think of going to church. But
it is not altogether evil, and though much
danger, and often ruin, may come to many in
such an evil time, yet the church is safe. In
the discussion of this subject the preacher did
not intend to indulge spirit of faultfnding;
but it is true that the majority do not go to
church. The average of church goers IS not
more than one-third or one-ffth. 1t is the
same in England as here, and all denomin-
atoms there feel it. About year since an
enumeration of church goers was made in our
city, and of the 25,000 Protestants less than
one-third of the adult and less than one-seventh
of the children from four to fourteen years of
age were present. But the absence of the
children is o sad fact. They are away, walk
ing or reading newspapers or novels and left
to their own way. This is one Of the sadest
facts in the outlook for the future. But some
excuse themselves by saying that the sermons
are dry and stupid Yet they used to be more
stupid and still more children attended. Again
one says there are more papers no then;
true, but is this reading better than the church?
The fault is rather with the parents. An
other says the Sunday school takes the place
of the church. but it should not take the place,
nor should the excuse avail that many go to
hear the music; nor should we defer to the
wish of the children in this matter any more
| than in other matters What a miserable re-
suit we should have If we permitted children
| to choose their own way in practical life. The
| preacher had cent postal card to about 80 OF
| the representative members of evangelical
| churches in our city, inquiring If they had
| been required to attend church in childhood;
| and IL that requirement made that attendance
| irksome or repusive. The almost universal
| testimony of those questioned was tha4 the
! habit formed in childhood was natural and
| pleasant, and that the pleasantest memories of
| childhood are connected with the associations
| of these church-going habits. The plea that
| WEAKNESS of all church services, and irksome'
ness and repulsion will result from this habit
| insisted upon in childhood, has no foundation
| in experience or fact, and the best growth oil
| the church, and the surest foundation OF
| social and national prosperity will be secured
by the education of the young into habits of
| regular and reverent attendance upon the SER
| vices of the sanctuary.

Yesterday afternoon some Italians, who had
evidently been drinking, got into heated dis
cussion on Centre street, and as they walked
along some men behind them saw one of the
Italians put his hand in his breast and draw
out long, scimater-shaped knife which he
put in his hip pocket. snspeeting trouble he fol-
lowed the Italians on to Free street, when he
saw the italian mentioned draw the knife on
his comrade. The man sprang forward and
seized the owner of the knife when the italian
made lunge at him, cutting great piece out
Of his coat sleeve, narrowly escaping the flesh
of the arm. Officer McCallum was right at
hand and quicker than lightning let the Ital-
ian have a blow from his billy which settled
his murderous propensities, and that officer
with Officer Merrill took both Italians to the
station.

FLOWER BEDS OR FRHE BEDS.
Which is the Hospital Most in Need or

Mr.. EDIToR:-WiIl you allow me to make
few comments on the communication of I'm
provements," SO far as it relates to the Maine
General Hospital.
The officers Of this institution are well aware
that many things could be done to improvo
the appearance of the grounds and out build
ings, but they have not felt justified in spend
ing money for mere adornment when they are
obliged to refuse admission to SO many appii-
cants for free beds, for want OF means to sup
port them. AS the hospital is becoming bet'
ter known through the State, the urgency OF
the demand for free beds is increasing every
month. That the public may understand now
we are situated in this respect, / would state
the following facts: During the last six months
we have had eight 80 free beds supported by
permanent endowment or annual subscription,
and during this same time we have maintain
cd daily average of sixteen 16) free patients
This average of sixteen represents ninety-four
(9D different individuals who have received
gratuitous board and treatment.
That is ais large number as seems to be pos
sible to support with our present resources, Dut
new applications are coming in every week.
and almost every day, large proportion Oh
which we are obliged to refuse.
There are now on file sixteen applications
from the towns of Searsport. Ellsworth, Read
field, Rockland, Kingfeld, Cape Elizabeth,
Gouldsboro, Lewiston, Gorham, Thomaston,
York and Portland. Most of these are urgent
cases, and ought to be here under treatment at
this moment, and it is exceedingly painful for
us to refuse to receive them.
Everyone is aware that the cost of living is
considerably higher now than it was one or two
years ago. But our income from all sources is
not increasing in proportion. Indeed, as 10
money contributed specifically for free beds,
We have received less during the last SIX
months, than we did during the corresponding
six months year ago, and unless we receive
some unlocked for assistance, it is probable
that we will be obliged to reduce our present
number of free patients in order to finish the
hospital year free from debt. ...s-,
In face of these facts, and with these pitiful
letters before us, docs improvements" or any
one else wonder that the directors hesitate 10
appropriate even small amount OF money 70
outside work; and as to expanding at least
moietyn of our contributions in this way, OF
course it is out of the question.
1 wish that this statement might Dc the
means of directing the attention OF the people
of the State to our needs at this time, and tnat
some, who have not done so before, may Dc
willing to give, of their abundance, to those
who are not only poor but SICK. AS we are
now sure of an income sufficient to keep the
hospital in operation, comparatively small
amount additional can be made to accomplish
a great deal of good in the care OF larger

Fire at Western Cemeterv.

ceeded to the spot and extinguished the fire.
About one-third of the cemetery was burned
over, including quantity of fencing. The
tablets were but slightly damaged. Cumb.r
land engine was sent to the repair shop, and 81
spare engine takes her place.
