There were two still alarms yesterday. One
was caused by window scurtain catching fire
in house on Green strset short distance
from Congress street. and was consumed and \
large hole burned in the carpet. Machigonne
rs men responded to the call.
The other was at w. r. Stones apothecary
store, corner of Green and Congress streets.
A clerk drew some extract from barrel In
the cellar, and while the measure was filling
went mp stairs to the store, with some Just
cleaned bottles. While he was gone the ex-
tract overfowed, and the running liquid ran
into q lighted candle and became ignited.
Luckily . lot Of rubbish had just been cleared
mp, but when the clerk returned the cellar
was in a light blaze. Mr.. Stone suspected
something was wrong, snd followed the clerk.
With the aid Of a flannel bag, and by quick
work, he succeeded in extinguishing the fire
before any great damage was done. A few
moments more and nothing could h ave pre-
vented disastrous fire.

Yesterday morning Grand Commander
hountz of the Grand Army, met the commit
tee on hotels at the Falmouth. During the
National Eneampmenti it was decided that the
whole OF the first ioor OF the Falmouth Hotel
should be reserved for the Grand Commanders
headquarters.
Inc next meeting of the National Executive
Committee will be held two weeks hence, on
the 9th OF December, at Augusta.
The committee on hotels have made arrange
meDts for the accommodation of the National
Encampment which numbers $40 delegates
ine Falmouth will accommodate 200 of the
number, the Preble and United States 100
each, the City and Merchants Exchange so
each, and the other 140 at other hotels. The
Ottawa House has also been secured.
National Commander Kountz says that cur
people have no idea Of the interest taken in
the fact that the encampment will be held in
Portland. All through the West and South,
where he has been since Portland was de-
cded upon as the next place of meeting, the
determination has been expressed to save IN
money on the part of members, to visit this
city. He does not see how the advantages
PS0'SSoOo AVA SuOu IuooLluS COulQ Do
improved. He predicts that the number
present at the eneampment will be nearer
10000 than 10000. Post of PhiIsdelphia,
one OF the Oldest and strongest posts in the
country will parade 800 strong, while Dab gren
Post OF Boston, will probably send 150 men.
These two posts are noted in the annals of the
order. The National Woman's Relief Corps
will bring large numbers of the ladies from all
parts OF the country here. When the arrange
ments are fully organized there will be a
bureau established here so that any question
relating to the encampment can be answered at
once, and any VISITORS lodging place can be
furnished to the inquirer.
National Commander Kountz and staff left
for Lewiston by the noon train. When he
reached Lewiston he was met at the station by
Custer and Burnside Posts, and escorted to
headquarters at the Dewitt House. The pro-
gramme for the evening consisted of a banquet
at the Dewitt House and reception in City
Hall. Mayor Sturgis of Auburn presided.
Speeches were made by Commander-in-Ch Chief
Konntz, Senator Frye, Hon. Nelson Dingley
Jr., Judge Advocate General D. R. Austin and
A. R. Savage.

outweighs the good, then a frightful image
comes and says II am thy evil spirit; b I'd my
SELF thy crimes have made me worse." Tire
good passed to happiness; the evil to misery
bnt the misery ls not endless. There will
come day when Ahrman himself will BE-
come pure and all his angels with him and all
the souls whom he made bad. The good will
triumph over ths evil. The whole universe
Will become resplendent and holy, Mr.
Blsnchard then went on to show the great in
tuence OF the religion of Persia on Judaism
and Christianity. There was no evil spirit
the Prince OF Darkness, in the Hebrew tneolo-
gy till after the captivity at Babylon. The
Jews returned to Jerusalem with a stronger
belief than they ever had before in the one
GOD VINO orules the universe, but they brought
with them also new belief in the serpent who
vi, was the devil and in his legion of evil spirits
Ihey brought with them also a belief in a
fnture life which hardly existed at all before
ana the doctrine of a general bodily resurrec-
ton. The scholars show that these beliefs
were derived from Persia through Babylon
Upon Christianity itself the religion of Zoroas-
ter has exerted great influence. When Christ
said, deliver us from the evil one" as the
New Version rightly puts it he referred to an
evil spirit believed in by the people, whether
or not by himself because Ahriman was be-
Heved In BY the PersiaDs. The ''evil one' in
Ohrlsts day Is the devil of the Christian
theology of the middle ages. The belief in
the resurrection Of the body, formulated in
the creeds is tenet which comes down from
the religion of Zoroaster. Comparing the re-
llgion of Zoroaster with the religion of Christ,
the superiority of the latter is clearly seen in its
doctrine of the one God who is sovereign and
father. 10 reading the words of the gospels it
Is easy to see that Christ often speaks in ac-
commodation to the opinions OF his hearers
10 his speech, the sun rises and sets: there is a
Prince OF Darkness. He neither confirms nor
opposes these opinions. But above these is
Clearly seen his faith in the power and the
goodnesS of the one overriding God. The re-
ligion of Zoroaster however, is quite equal to
christianity ia its great assertion-there is an
eternal distinction between the right aud
wrong aud every man ought to fight with the
right against the wrong.
In conclusion Mr.. Blanchard described the
ruins OF Persepolis, and drew a glowing
picture of Zsroastsr with his great vision of
the faal triumph of good over evil. The
next lectare on ''The Religion OF Egypt" will
be given Tuesday evening, Dec. 9sh

house will be crowded on both occasions. The play
consists OF series of ludcrous scenes intensely
laughable and certainly of the funniest on the
stage. Everybody will laugh who goes to see it.
THE srocKBRIDGE CONCERTS.
The holders of course tickets to the Stockbridge
entertainments who wish to change the Thursday
night ticket for matinee ticket to the Thsnksgiy
ing matinee should do so at once. Among the per-
formers is Mr.. Lichtenburg, one of the members of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra, splendid violin
ist of the Belgian school whose playing at the rst
concert of the orchestra in Boston this season won
an absolute triumph, which was enhanced by the
modesty of his bearing. In every direction the
young artist seemed fawless. His tone was pure
and true even in the most difficult passages. His
double stopping was marvellously clear, his har-
monies without break, and his tegnto playing sweet

already been noticed 10 these columns.
