Mr., Blaine In Massachusetts.

Mr. Blaine's journey through Massa-
chusetts was great ovation all the way.
All the passenger stations before reaching
Boston were crowded With people anxious
to see him. He was greeted everywhere
with cheers, flags, professions, music and
the roar of cannon. with every evidence of
general and deep respect by all classes of
people. OF his reception in Boston the
Traveller says The feeling of the peo-
pie of this city towards Mr.. Blaine was
shown in an unmistakable manner on his
arrival here last night, and again on his
departure this morning tor Worcester.
Bowdoin square, and both the depots at
which sight of the republican candidate
was to be gained, were crowded with a
vast multitude OF citizens who waited pa
tieutly and long for the opportunity to
give him an ovation such as few men have
ever received in this city under any cir.
cumstances. and none that we
can recall upon such short notice, and
with such entire spontaneity.
Many of our most substantial citizens. our
merchants and tradesmen, were recogniz-
ed in the throng, butthe predominating ele-
ment was unquestionably the thrifty me-
chanic and artisan, the reading. thinking
masses of Boston's workingmen. And
how they did cheer The passionate en-
thusiasm of the campaign which swept
the State under Robinson's lead last fall
was recalled and surpassed by the cheers
which rolled in wave after wave ofjublia-
ton across Bowdoin square. And this
was in the city of Boston, too, where the
boast of Mr.. Blaine's detractors is that
they own or control every morning press
save the Journal, and every evening press
save that and the Traveller, and right on
the heels of The publication of the second
series of Mulligan letters"
At Worcester the demonstration of EN-.
thusiasm was immense. The vast crowd
listened to his speech in profound silence,
and the cheers which followed were
great pillows of ssand filing the space
far away on every hand The heart Of
the Old Commonwealth beats strong for

On the Way to California.
FROM OGDEN TO BENICIA The GoLDEl
GATE IN SIGHT.

TRUCKEE, New Sat A. NJ, July &c.
We left Ogden at about o'clock. Our
route now lay along the shore of the Great
Salt Lake, and we moved so slowly that an
excellent opportunity offered for seeing the
country. About half past s we stopped at
a station where the cars were flooded with
girls calling out Fresh milk, ten cents a
quart" There was considerable amuse-
ment over their unceremonious entrance into
the cars, and some one asked them to sing,
which they did without beaitation, singing
''The Gipsy's Warning" and the answer to
the same. 1t was novel experience, but l
am used to it now, because ever since we
left Ogden, three times day, and sometimes
more we have been offered milk right on the
train, at prices varying from five to fifteen
cents quart.
In the morning we were still in sight of
the lake, but just leaving it to go into the
mountains. Snow peaks have been in sight
almost all the time since we left Denver, be-
coming more numerous the farther west we
go, The country through which we passed
was mostly very barren, supporting no vege-
tation except sage brush and kindred plants.
We stopped at several places for periods
varying all the way from twenty minutes 10
three hours. This day was very warm, and
many slept about all day. 1t seemed verv
much like Sunday to me, because of the still
ness and solitude. All the places where we
stopped were very small. not more than five
/ buildings and sometimes only one. Along
! in the evening the air was cooler and the
sunset was glorious, the sun sinking in a
clear sky behind distant mountain, leaving

The next day was full of events We
stopped for an hour and half at a station
called the Palisades, and took advantage OF
the opportunity to secure a good breakfast
| We also picked up some fine specimens OF
| iron pyrites. At all the stations in this line
the pigs seemed to have the freedom of the
city," Around and beneath the train they
clustered fighting for the bits of food thrown
out by the travellers. And such pigs, tall
long legged, black. bristlv. they could rur
like dogs and fight like wild animals. Wher
the train left this station, several of u.
climbed to the top of a freight car and rode
to the next station. We had full view of the
country on every side and refreshing breeze
which we could not get inside the car. Or
our right flowed a winding stream which
might be traced for miles by the strip OF
green made by its fertile banks in the SANDY
| desert. We also saw several hot springs
sending up clouds of steam, at a distance
Our next stop of any duration was at Winnie
mucca, where we stopped from ten O'Clock
till two. Winnemucca is pretty place Of
about 900 inhabitants and full of business

The Aroostook Republican presents the
name of Hon Edwin G. Burleigh as a
candidate for State Treasurer in an ex-
tended article setting forth his qualitica-
tions and claims for the position. The
Bangor Wing heartily endorses the article
of the Republican. and says the election
of Mr.. Burleigh "by the next Legislature
would give the greatest satisfaction" In
Augusta. where Mr.. Burleigh has been
long and well known and is highly
esteemed. his promotion to the head OF
the department in which he is now serving
is regarded as the proper thing to be
done, both on the score of service and
experience in the duties of the office. and
the filling of the place with gentleman
every way fitted to fill the office with
honor to himself and credit to the State.

DIED. AT her late residence in this
place on Monday noon, December
oath, Mrs. Ella NJ. Morrill,, beloved
wife of Jesse A. Morrill,.
Deceased was born ia Hastings. Ca
NADIA, on the seventh day Of August,
1917. Was converted in BrOckway
Centre In the year 1868. Her cOnvers-
ion was marked and clear, from pun
gent conviction, through earnest faith
she was brought into the glorious light
and liberty of the children Of God. both
possessing in her swn mind, and CIV
ing to others the fullest assurance of
sins forgiven and Of acceptance with
God. She was married TO Jesse A.
Morrill,, Of Brockway Centre, Sept. Z,
1868. whose home was made bright by
her presence from that time to the day
of her departure to her home above.
She was the mother of seven children,
two or whom preceded her to the Spirit
land. She truly lived the life OF the
righteous; modest, pure and tender in
her manners: deep and answering in
her religious convictions; devoted In
her religious work and to the affairs Of
her household. While we to-day sym
pathize with the bereaved husband,
children and other relatives, we realize
that their grief is not like that Of
those who have no hope and that our
loss is her eternal gain.

Masonic Public Installation Of Officers
and Oyster supper.

The Masonic Public Installation
of officers and Oyster Supper held
IN Duties Hall Thursday evening,
December 9th, was grand success
both socially and financially. There
were 2lO tickets sold. The tables
were set at six o'clock and those
present filled the first tables and
they were reset, we do not know
how many times, until everybody
present were served, after which the
program commenced consisting of
singing, reading, speaking and in
stallation Of officers. The first on
the program was singing by the
choir entitled, brothers of the
Mystic Tie" which was splendid,
after which came Mrs. II. E. Leon
ards poem "Welcome" composed by
herself which deserves great credit.
Then came installation of officers by
Judge Harris, of Port Huron, which
occupied about half an hour and
Rev. Geo. Hunt, of Fargo, then
made a very able address on Free
Masonry. Tho quartette which
followed entitled eve meet upon

by III. f. Leonard, G. r. Holden, J.
g. Holden and Miss Maranda Rapley,
was excellent. The reading by
Miss McTavish, of Brockway,
brought loud applause from those
present. The recitation by Mr..
Parkinson, the Oldest mason In the
United States now in his list year
since he was initiated, and being
over 80 years of age, was extraordin-
AIRY fine, showing that his memory
hasn't failed him but very little.
Miss Ella Fraser then sang solo en-
titled ''Sing sweet Birdie" in her
usual good way. The recitation by
Rev. }. w. Gray, "Darius Green
and his flying machine" brought ap-
plause after applause, encore after
encore until he was compelled to
come forward and recite "The Smack
in School," both of which he recited
with perfection. The duet by Miss
Ella Fraser and O. II. Holden en-.
titled "No Sir" was appreciated by
all. With this the evenings enter
tainment closed and all departed de-
lighted with the proceedings of the
evening. All whom we have asked
the question "How did you enjoy
yourself at the Oyster Supper" the
answer comes universally, Splendid
The net proceeds of the evening
were $55.
