mrs. ormlston Chants Farewell
Lecture In Portland.

Mrs. Laura Ormiston Chant gave her fare
fair sized audience, many staying at home
on account of the disagreeable weather.
quartette furnished music as an opening
which was followed by prayer by Rev. Mr..
Crosser. Mrs. Hunt with few well chosen
remarks introduced Mrs. Chant who stepped
forward amid the applause of the audience.
Mrs. Chant commenced by saying that
when she came from the warm sunny South
the people there gave her the impression
that she would not be received with the
warmth and welcome that she received there
but she thought they must have forgotten
the State of Maine. Mrs. Chant in brief
way told of the starting of the temperance
movement in England % years ago, by seven
men who signed a pledge to abstain from
whiskey, brandy and other liquors. but could
use limited amount of beer. This was in
the past. Now she urged that total alb
stinence was the only salvation of the world
and in the future, strict prohibition would
be the dividing line between two classes of
people-the savage, who cannot leave the
alcoholic poison alone, and the civilized class
who can do without it, AS she had been
connected for some time with the hospitals
in England she saw the difference in patients
who came under her care and told of the
difference between a patient addicted to al
cohol and patient who had never used it
as beverage. She gave some of her per-
sonal experiences for the benefit of those
who were not on the right side, and also gave
the mothers words of advice, for she said it is
hard to correct the evils in children when
they have grown up in them. She told why
she Joined the temperance society and how
she came to work for the cause, and the
trials she had to conquer at the commence
ment of her work. The stories of her work
among the poor were indeed pitiful and her
stories of the temperance hospitals were be-
yond comparison. The evils, deceit and
total depravity caused by alcohol were
pictured in very forcible manner and her
tales of the cruelty to which some of the
women who have been brought to her notice
had been subjected to before they were
rescued was indeed pitiful. She spoke Of
the good work being done at the Portland
Fraternity, and urged the people to take
more interest. She closed with an appeal in
ance Union for aid in its work. Mrs. Chant
sang twice after the lecture and then Rev.
Mr.. Blanchard gave the benediction. A
large number of ladies gathered in the
reception room after the lecture to speak
with Mrs. Chant who had kind word for
everyone. By her kind words she has
made many friends in Portland.

If the Blues are disbanded and the Cadets
take their place, and likewise their armory,
as it is now evident they will, the Sheridan
Rifles should have the armory formerly oc-
cupied by the Cadets. The Sheridan Rifles
are doing work that puts to shame many
older companies, and the corps is on a good
financial basis, which is saying good deal
for so young company. Their quarters at
present are not large enough to accommodate
them, but the Cadets armory, which is
larger and better fitted than their own,
would be great Improvement and would
have tendency to create more interest
among the young men if they could obtain
it, The Rifles are working hard on fancy
drill, which will probably be given at City
Hall in short time, which will show the
Improvement they are making.
