A Historic CIty,

Mr. James Phinney Baxcer gave the first
lecture in the Bowdoin College Y. M. C. A.
course on "Louisburg, the stronghold of
New France, the Gibraltar of America"
Commencing with the statement that the
conflict between England and France for the
possession of America was the conflict be-
tween the Roman and teutonic civilizations !;
the former o despotic aristocracy, the latter
striving to establish commonwealth. He
referred to the various explorations giving
England the southern and France the north
ern settlements Of the continent.
Mr.. Baxter gave at length the labors of the
French to render Louisbury impregnable.
rec0unting the natural defences, stating that
both the stone and the artisans were brought
from Europe at such an expense that the king
declared 1t cost enough to have paved the
streets with gold. He graphically gave the
story OF the first capture of the city by the
New England militia and the retention of
the city for four years until it was relinquish
ed by treaty. When war was subsequently
declared between England and France.
Louisburg was the first point at which the
former aimed. The story of the siege and
surrender and the destruction of the CITY bv
the English after obtaining possession were
related. While other cities in New France
had passed out of the possession of the
French, yet he declared that none Of these
events were as important as the fall of
Louisburg and that its surrender marked the
passage Of the power Of France In the new
world and the triumph of the civilization of
the Teuton. The speaker held the attention
OF the audience and was given a round of
hearty applause, Va

piscourtesv to public Speakers.

To the Editor of the Press:
In the admirable report of MIR. Stoddard's
lecture of the Passion Play In yesterdays
issue of the PRESS, the writer fifty says "that
City hall never held larger or more intelli-
gent audience" Wei wonder why such an
audience should show the discourtesy to the
lecturer. that was shown during his closing
remarks.
All through the lecture the utmost quiet
prevailed. One hardly dared to breathe lest
some part might be lost. The solemn still
ness accorded well with the sacredness of
the subject. When all at once, in the midst
of the touching and tender description of
Meyers portrayal of the Christ In the last
great act; when, 1t would be supposed, every
heart must beat in unison with the spirit Of
the scene, there came sound, not "of a
mighty rushing w.nd," but one quite as
marked; as the many hundreds present be-
gan to adjust wraps and make other prepa-
ratlons for speedy departure. The closing
words could hardly be heard so marked was
the change.
We do not know whether this thoughtless-
ness or discourtesy-call 1t what you may
be peculiar to Portland audiences or no, but
the fact of its existence is most annoying to
the lecturers who come among us. The
writer was once told by one of our .promi-
nent clergymen that when he was asked to
occupy the honored position Of the last
speaker at any public meeting he begged to
be allowed to reverse the programme as the
the thought Of the invariable stir and hustle
that always attended the closing words so
disconnected him that at times he was unable
to keep firm grip ON the subject matter.
If had the Dlaasura of qnfarf a iuinp
these speakers and lecturers on our homes,
would 1t be the part of hospitality to show
our distraction and desire to rid ourselves of
them? Are these men, like Stoddard, STAN
ley and others who honor our city with their
presence, to be shown any less consideration
by the vast audiences that gather to hear
them? Let us, one and all, "think on these
things" M. T., G,

Woman's Suffrage.

To the Editor of the Press.
Will you allow me to make a slight correc-
tion through the PRESS, by stating that the
petition presented In the Maine legislature
Wednesday last, for the municipal ballot
for women with an educational test" was
not circulated by the W. G. T. u, put by the
Maine Woman's Suffrage Association. and is
not "signed by fifty women of Portland"
but by fifty men and women. The first name
on the petition is that of Rev. DR.. Hill. John
f. Donnell, DR.. Ruins Shackford. Noah Bur-
CESS. Henry Burgess and others follow. The
Maine W. c. 7. u is cooperating with the
Maine Suffrage Association in its effort to Sc
cure the municipal ballot for women. Doubt
less the great majority of temperance women
In Maine behind that 1t would be help in
carrying in the temperance reform. 1t has
plainly proven to be a great hello In Kansas.
To be sure then there few w. @. T. u.
women who honestly differ, and have right
to do SO. according TO the fundamental law
of the Union. Speaking as one who has Wis
tied every county and over hundred towns

ployed there killed them to put them out of
their misery. One employe of the State
House risked his life to get wounded bird
that had lit on the gutter Of the building
