mrs. brakes Lectures.

The attention Of our lady friends is called
to the advertisement Of the lectures given by
Mrs. Maria Upham Drake, under the aus
pices of the Womens Christian Temperance
Union, at the Second Parish church. Mrs.
Drake is a lady Of great culture, and has
given much study to the topics, which are
placed under the general one Of hereditary.
In other cities where the course has been
given Mrs. Drake has been met by large and
appreciative audiences. The organization
which she is thus endeavoring to place be-
fore the ladies Of Portland in so interesting
a manner through one Of their numerous de-
partments Of work, should receive the en-
couragement Of large attendance at these
lectures. The society earnestly recommends
the lectures to all women, as Of the greatest
Importance. The valuable ideas which Mrs.
Drake suggests, must, to many minds, be
seed thoughts" which will develop acareful
personal study Of the topics, and the sug-
gestions in the love Of right thinking and
right living will tend towards a more ear
nest and careful attention TO the physical
and moral laws of life

MILLER ON PRoHIsITIon.
The Success Of High License In
Pennsylvania.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Hon. Warner Miller
presided at a meeting of the Temperance
Society in Steinway Hall tonight, and de-
liyered an address showing how well high
license worked in Philadelphia and where.
ever 1t had been tried. and how useless it
was to advocate prohibition when the vote
at the last election showed that only two out
of every one hundred citizens are prohibit
tionists.
Rev. d. A. Greer, of this city. lately of
Providence, declared Rhode Island prohibit
tion failure as shown by the fact that there
was an increase of 90 per cent In the liquor
traffic Of Providence since the law was pass
ed, while the number of arrests had fallen
off owing to the refusal of juries to listen to
the testimony Of the odious class known as
spoilers.
Hon. Seth Lowe told how as Mayor Of
Brooklyn he had to enforce the saloon law
impartially, and succeeded in making en-
emies both of saloonists and prohibitioDists.
He favored local option and high license.
A letter regIetting his absence was receiv-
ed from Chauncey M. Depew.

THE coBuRN MILLIONS.
How the Heirs Will Manage the Vast
Estate.
Especial to the Press.l

AUGUSTA, Nov. 19.-Since the death of the
two brothers, Abner and Philander Coburn
of Skowhegan, their property, most of which
was held in common by the two, has been
managed by the executors, and is in their
hands at the present time, but will be turned
ever to the heirs at no distant day. What to
do with this vast property becomes a ques-
tion with the heirs, they being quite numer-
GUS. To divide it up, each one taking his or
her share, would be a tedious undertaking
and involve no small amount of loss, and it
was decided after careful consideration and
the taking OF legal advice, to operate the
real estate of both the brothers as a whole,
which at this time includes 900 acres of
valuable timber land in Maiue, large tracts
in Wisconsin, Michigan, Alabama, Washing
ton Territory, and 10000 acres of wheat
lands in Dakota. Besides the above, there
is valuable seashore property at Nantasket
that State. The whole will amount to up
wards of $2.0OO.0O0 With careful manage
ment and to secure this is the aim of the
heirs. 1t is proposed to form trust, so to
speak, with able business men at the head of
1t. To put the property in shape for their
control will require extensive legal transac-
tions and a large amount OF labor and atten-
ton. To this and the heirs have retained
Hon. Orville d. Baker of this city as coun-
sci, and he has already entered upon the
work, In which he will be obliged to make
several visits west, ank give much of his at
tentlon for some time to come. There are
eleven branches of the heirs, the most nu-
merous being the Marstons and the Coburps,
There are so many that the fractional inter-
ests which each heir would have that the
smallest common denomination necessary to
represent all their parts would be 4125.

Interesting TO norsemen.

Whatever the brood mare lacks she should
possess plenty of vim and nerve force. The
latter Is the most valuable quality Of all, for
the rate of speed depends more upon that
than any other attribute that can be named.
Nerve force Is to the horse what steam Is to
the engine, and Is found in higher degree
in the Thoroughbred racer than In any other
family Of horses. 1t Is doubtless this quality
that has given the daughters OF Mambrino
Patchen and American Star such promi-
nence as dams Of first-class trotters. Seely's
American Star possessed very nearly the
same combination of blood lines as the dam
of Lady Thorne (2.1SD and her distinguished
brother, Mambrino Patchen. Seely's Amer
ican Star, however, lacked a tr0tting inheri-
tance, and but very few trotters have come
from him or his defendants In the male line.
Mambrino Patchen inherited the trotting in
stinct from Mambrino Chief. and has proved
far more successful as a sire Of trotters than
Seely's American Star. Breeders who have
access to stalliops with a strong trotting in
heritance on both sides, particularly such as
are descendants of Rysdyk's Hambletonian,
need have no hesitancy In buying a mare for
brood purposes whose second or third dam Is
a descendant of the thoroughbred race horses

ings with the Congregational and Methodist
churches in Alfred. A remarkable revival

Quoted the services and during the entire

the services were interested. Mr.. Allen Of

on the subject Of Miracles" last sunday
and Mr.. Frank II. Jones added greatly 20
the interest Of the meetings by remarks and

JANEsvILLE, Wis, Nov. 19-The case in
which suit was brought by Catholic taxpay-
