Jonas Warren CLARK

In the PRESS notice of the life and death
OF Mr.. Clark are some inaccuracies, which l
wish to correct, while l add my testimony to
his worth as citizen, and my appreciation
of his kindness of heart.
Jonas W. Clark was born in Northampton,
Mass, in 1921. He was one of the numerous
family of Clarks, whose ancestors were
early settled in Hampshire county. He is
spoken of in the PRESS as the son of the
keeper of a furniture store on Congress
street, This was his uncle, the late George
Clark, who was in his time famous cabinet
maker who took orders as was then the Gus
tom, and manufactured all the furniture for
the best houses in town. The uncle also
came from Northampton and the nephew
followed him here, and worked as did many
other apprentices, in the cabinet shop. Of these
apprentices several are well known citizens,
notably Abel NJ Baker, Lewis B. Smith,
William G. Twombly, John Merry and Geo.
FL. Clark, who for nearly forty years has
been a finisher in the Chickering piano forte
mandatory in Boston.
George Clark, senior, in after years, in con-
nection with the furniture works, establish
ed the manufacturing of pianofortes, and
many of his instruments are yet in use. Like
Hogarth's industrious apprentice" Jonas
Clark married his masters daughter, and
also continued his masters furniture bust
ness. He was earnest in Sunday school work,
and for several years assisted in the Sunday
service at the State Reform School, Mr..
Clark has probably spent more nights away
from his home in the care of the sick, than
any in the city who survive him. He leaves
a widow, daughter, a son, and an only sis
ter, who have the sympathy of large circle
of friends in their bereavement.

The Races at Maranooook.

The date of the great regatta at Lake Mar
anocook has not yet been decided on, but
thelprobabilities are that it will take place on
or about the 10th of September. 1t is in
tended to be the biggest rowing event of. the
year, and if encouraged by the oarsmen
themselves in full fields of entries and by the
boating fraternity in general, will be an annu-
al event. In addition to other prizes it is pro-
posed to offer trophies for competition which
must be won two or three years in success
ion to become permanent property of the
winners. There will be Indian canoe races,
and also competition, in which canoes will
be padded by one man while another occu-
pies place on the bow The bow man is
armed with weapon, the end of which is
soft and as big as a foot ball. His task is to
avoid being struck with similar weapon
used by man in some other canoe The
bow man who is first struck and knocked in
to the water loses the competition. The
boat races will consist of amateur tours in
shells, professional tours in shells, profess
ional fours in working boats, amateur sim
giles, professional singles and other events.
Efforts are being made to get Hanlan to form
a professional crew for the occasion. M. F.
Davis is the manager of the regatta, and in
few days the railroad arrangements will be
completed, and then the complete details of
the regatta will be announced.

at the national regatta, have been rowing to-

Individually they have done considerable
work in Portland harbor, but this is their
first year as four, and they had won but
one race before that of last week. They had
one great advantage, said M. F. Davis,
brother of the stroke, in that they had all
the aids to rowing it is possible for a crew to
get. The number of foot pounds power re-

which won the race was,a decrease so radi-

susceptible of proof and easily explained
when the improvements in rig and other
appliances are examined. The Dirigos will

SUNDAY SERVICES.
SECOND PARISH.


AT the Second Parish yesterday Prof Bar
bour of New Haven preached an excellent
sermon from the text in John iv, 29-"Come
see man which told me all things that ever
| did; is not this the Christi" The theme
was The adaptation of truth to human
minds and hearts and its power over them.
We receive some truths on the authority of
their teacher; others on their own authority.
Much of Christian truth is its own evidence
The interview between Christ and the
woman of Samaria has both of these kinds
of truth. The teacher and the truth both
demand attention. l. Let us look at the
teacher-at His method of reaching His
hearers mind. He appeals to what there is
in common between thenl-thirst: physical
with him, spiritual need with her. Then
He touches her conscience. 2. We may look
at the nature of the truth He presents. He
appeals to the sense in the human soul of
spiritual need, When this exists, the soul
can be convicted of sin-of wrong doing for
which that soul feels responsible. Our Lord
enforced this upon His nearer. He also en-
Joined upon her the duty of the spiritual
worship of God by all His intelligent crea-
lures, and the fact that God is always seek
ing such humble, truthful worshippers.
Again, Jesus taught the woman the fact
and nature of His own Messiahship. These
and similar fundamental truths the Saviour
presented in this interview with the woman
at the well. Such truths presented will al
ways command human attention. 3. Look
at the effects of the truth She believed in
His divine mission; in His wisdom; in the
fitness OF the truth to her case, and in His
perfect knowledge of her own life. This
last conviction affected her most of all and
she reported this fact above all in her report
to her friends. Why did the truth thus affect
her? 1t appealed to her heart, her knowl-
edge, her conscience. What affected her most.
that she presented as the ground of her be-
lief in the preacher? The Divine Word
found her, and found her out And such
truths will ever find and get hold of human
hearts. 1t commends itself to the human
conscience and compels human attention.
In conclusion, what word of commentator
are we ready to speak for Christ? Some
testify what He has done for others. May
we be. able to praise Him for what He has
done for u.s.

While between Newburyport and Ports

afternoon, the brigantine William Moson,
Capt. Hardy Of Newburyport, was caught in
a tornado, which shattered her foremost,
yards and bowsprit and carried away top
mast from the foremost and all sails. In fact
the damage was the work of moment, the
air being full of flying wreckage. A vessel
100 yards away did not experience any i'll
effects from it. The Mason was towed in
here Saturday morning. The damage will
amount to $500.

At the Mountains.

There was light fall of snow at the Craw-
ford House about three o'clock Saturday
morning, and the whole day was cool and
clear, the thermometer not going over SO.
The burglary at the White Mountain House
Saturday was the sensation the month The
audacity with which the thieves carried the
safe out doors and blew it open at the i'm
minent risk of arousing the house, and the
amazing Indifference of all in the house who
heard the noise, but who didn't take interest
enough to investigate, made it quite unique
in the history of burglary. 1t is surmised
that the parties may have been the same who
went through a safe in North Conway
store the other night This is the only crime
of any consequence in this vicinity since the
famous highway robbery on the Glen road
four years ago.
