An Open Letter to the Prohibition
Town Committee of Windham.

Gentlemen Il am in receipt of credentials
informing me that was duly elected as
delegate to attend the Prohibition State con-
vention to be holden at Portland June 10th
and 18th, 1885, Thanking you for the honor
you thus do me and the confidence you have
in my temperance profession, am obliged
after most carefully considering all the cir
cumstances connected with this matter to
most respectfully decline to act In that eapa-
city. Fully endorsing all you claim in be-
half OF the cause of temperance, having great
respect for you and your associates ON ac-
count of the commendable work in
which you are engaged, | am never
theless honestly convinced that sue
cessful prosecution of temperance work
to final determination Of the liquor traffic
from our State and nation does not lie in the
direction of any new party or Independent
organization, but rather that it is the duty OF
all well wishers of that unfortunate class
who are to-day cursed by that worse of all
evils to act and work with that party that
has always shown willingness to do all that
was possible to do to elevate the morals of
all the people of this nation. Therefore for
these and many other reasons which might
give, 1 am fully satisfied that the surest and
safest way to promote the cause of temper
ance is by working and voting with the
Republican party Of the State and nation.
Now, then, believing this to be true shall in
the future follow what seems to be my duty
to myself and my fellow men, namely:
Vote and work with the aforementioned
party so long as they shall continue to be as
they now are the party Of progress and re-
form.
am very respectfully,
CYRUS I. PARKER.

American institute Of instruction.

The meeting of the American Institute of
Instruction at Bar Harbor, July 9th to 9th,
promises to be an exceedingly large assem-
bly, of people interested in educational work.
The society has been in existence since 1880,
and now has members throughout the Uni
ted States and Canada. The object of its
founding was ''to awaken the.public mind to
thelimportance of popular education" The
programme as arranged for.this meeting will
embrace addresses by many of the most
prominent educators, among them President
VIM. Dewitt Hyde of Bowdoin College, an d
Prof. A. S. Hardy of Dartmouth. Reduction
of fares to Bar Harbor will be made from all
important New England and several New
York Points. The diphtheria scare which
was started short time since by Southwest
Harbor people has proved to be utterly with
out foundation, and was evidently started
on account Of the well known jealousy ex-
listing between Southwest Harbor and Bar
Harbor in order to detract from the success
of the famous resort.

Twenty-seven members of the Portland
Yacht Club sat down to one of Mr.. NJ. S.
Gibson's characteristic dinners last evening.
The banquet hall of the club house had been
tastefully decorated, japanese lanterns, flags
and bunting doing their part to enliyen the
scene. The tables with their vases of flow
ers, baskets of fruit and delicious salads,
looked inviting enough. After all had eaten
to their satisfaction, the cigars were lighted
and Commodore Senter calling the meeting
to order announced Mr.. Frank S. Warehouse
as POSTMASTER.
Mr.. Waterhouse offered the first toast by
saying that the Portland Yacht Club was
fortunate in having its Senter at its head.
The Commodore responded in happy man
ner, The other toasts and responses were
as follows:
The Good Yacht 'Laurer'-Judge Goddard.
Mr.. Chandler and his Band-Mr Chandler.
The Invited GueStS-Dr. j. Al. GasSaWay.
CascO Bay-Mr. M. S. Gibson.
The Treasury-Mr. H. r.. Virgin.
The Dinner Committee-Mr H. D. Smith.
The speeches were interspersed with music
by the Weber Quartette and Chambers Or
chestra. After the dinner an hour was spent
in social talk

The Centennial.

The Transcript says that Mr.. John T.Wal-
ton was seen in the corridor of City Hall this
week. He said he was in his s9th year, and
the failure of his eyesight preventing him
from writing, he had come in person to
convey his acceptance of an inyi-
tation to take part in the centennial celebra-
ton. Mr. Walton is the Oldest ex-member
of the City Council, and the last survivor of
the members of the first City Council. The
next oldest ex-members are Mr.. Thomas
Cummings of Freeport, Mr.. Joseph Brooks
of Kennebunk, and Mr.. Charles E.
Barrett of Portland. These four gentlemen
will appear in the procession in carriage by
themselves. Mr.. Walton's memory is still
clear and strong, and he occasionally walks
two miles to visit an old friend. He recalled
an incident that happened when he was but
four years old, and distinctly remembers the
total eclipse of the sun in 1906. He was dis
missed from school, and he remembers, on
his way home, running into a fat man in the
darkness.

Defied the dominion authorities.

Capt. Clarke Jewett. of the schooner
George Gushing, left Portland month ago,
put in to places in the Dominion for fresh
bait but failed to get what he wanted. Al
Jeborque Point, N S., the customs officer
ordered him to leave but he bought 5000 ale
wives, and finding an abundance of bait
could be had, employed fifty farmers tc
catch it for him. Before he got it he was
ordered off again by the authorities but put
in later at Judic, c. B., and got % barrels OF
bait at 81 barrel Then he ran inshore
and fished, and finally obtained good cargo
but ran on rock off st. Paups and had to
make Portland for repairs. His schooner
has gone on the Marine Railway.
A fishing firm here say if Capt, Jewett
had been their skipper they would have dis
charged him; that no fishing captain has a
right to jeopardize his owners property in
