best informed men that it has been the writ
er's privilege to know. His memory of past
events was wonderful He knew more about
old times in Lincoln county than any one
have met The parties at Boothbay were
we'll known to him and his mind was stored
with memories of the past. He had been in
large number Of conventions, and being
man of the most genial nature, an excellent
conversationalist,. he was an ever welcome
guest to the prominent men of his time. He
loved the society of the young and was one
of those aged people whom the young loved
to meet
three children-Mrs. Robert M. Gould with
whom he resided in his later ye ars. Mrs. Ma
thanlel Greenleaf. Of Lowell, Mass. and
Miss Lizzie Fuller of this city. Mr. Fuller

fore the Custom House. A band stationed
there took advantage Of the opportunity
to play my Country, IT'S of Thee,
but owing to the noise they were not heard.
Each window along the route was
black with people, and every possible vantage
place held its score Of spectators.
At little before 2 o'clock, the carriages

ITS THIRTY-sIxTH.
Anniversary OF the Young Mems
Christian Association.

The thirty-sixth anniversary Of the Young
Mems Christian Association was held in
State street church last evening. There was
large audience present, and the services
were very interesting There was singing
by Shaw's Male Quartette, reading of Scrip
lures. prayer by Rev. A. t. Dunn and report
of the retiring president and treasurer.
Rev. o. p. Clifford delivered the address of
the evening, which absorbed the attention of
his listeners, and was able and eloquent.
His subject was the popular one today, sis
Life Worth Living?" An American wittily
replies, ''that depends upon the liver" 1t
all depends upon ourselves and our environ
ments. When we are right ourselves and
rightly surrounded there is no question
about life being worth living. 1 do not
bring to you tonight any short cut to happi-
ness; though the Oklahoma boomers want
to get something for nothing. We all want
to solve the riddle of life easily. We must
first 'know ourselves" We are too prone
to study the faults of our neighbors and ne
glect the study of ourselves. But the best
specimen of mankind for you to study is
yourself. 1t is the only one you are respon-
sible for Know thyself. Carefully and
promptly study your own being, and you
will find there are the strata, the physical,
the mental and the spiritual. Physical cul-
ture is the foundation of all manly effort. A
man is fool who will let his love of friend
ship lead him to eating something
that will destroy his digestion
for when his digestion is gone his friends
will be also. Then the mind is the standard
of the man. You buy your hay by the ton
but you do not rate your men that way.
But you cannot keep your mind in good con-
dition If you eat too much. 1t is like the
walking beam Of steamboat, when one end
is up the other is down.
The final stratum is the spiritual, and the
most important too. You must become as
little child before God as you must to achieve
anything in life.
The road to literature is along the easy
path of the alphabet. A knowledge of mu-
sic is acquired only by diligent study, by
recognizing the fact that others know more
than yourself. 1t is better for us to be igno-
rant of some things and leave them in Gods
hands. So much for self. But there is the
other condition that the environment shall
be correct. Do not let civilization
get the control of you. The nearer
we can come to the natural state the better.
There is no honor in being "well dressed
man."
Finally. Treat your neighbors in a hu-
manitarian spirit. Attruisn is better than
egoism.
Whether life is worth living or not de-
pends upon how much we endeayor to help
others.
The address was worthy far more elab-
crate report than our crowded columns al
low this morning.

Resolved, That we reaffirm our resolution of
one year ago, that we will not support In national

who Is not thoroughly and unequiyocally commit
ted to the principle and practice OF prohibition.
Resolved, That In the line OF our legitimate
ministerial duties we will faithfully incucate the
principles and urge the practice of prohibition
and total abstinence.
Resolved, That we, as American citizens shall
claim the right OF advocating from the platform
and through the press, those measures that seem
to us best calculated to suppress the evil of intem-
perance, and this will we do In the fear of God.
Resolved, That we strongly favor constitutional
prohibition, and that we will not cease our efforts
until this becomes the settled policy of nation.
Resolved, That In our judgment the failure on
the part of so many of the officers of the law in
all our large communities to vigorously and inn
partially enforce the law has done great injury to
the cause of prohibition In other States.
Resolved, That the w. G. T. U. and the many
other vigorous temperance organizations are entl-
tied to. and should have our hearty sympathy and
