wATERvILLE FAIR.
Another Successful Day.
I Special to the KESNEBEc JOURNAL. |


WArERvILLE, Jan. 2s-Another great
multitude of people thronged City Hall this
evening, filing every available space, so
that it was next to impossible to get from
one point in the room to another.
After an overture by Dinsmore' 8
Orchestra, Mrs. c. J. Clukey gave Almost
effective recitation which was loudly ap-
plauded, and then Prof. Hall rendered one
Of his matchless solos. over which the au-
dience fairly went wild. Being recalled he
play ed the familiar air with splendid ex-
presson and perfect tone.
Miss Charlotte Barney sang in appropriate
costume the song They Drafted Him into
the Army" and being recalled, gave 8
patriotic song. which was well received.
The farce "John Smith was we'll brought
out and then another solo was given by
Prof. Hall, with he orchestra accompsni-
ment.
In the course of the evening. he sounded
various bugle calls which gave great pleas
ure to the numerous "Old Vets in attend
ance.
The success of the fair is Astonishing
every body, Tomorrow night the play en-
titled The Struggle for Life and Liberty
will be given and the grestest crowd
of the fair is an ticirsted. City Hall will
probably be hacked as it never WAS before.

Wanting and Getting.

1t has been said that the reason so
few people get what they want in this
world is that they do not want it hard
enough, There is profound truth at
the bottom of odd conceit: Earnest
striving and perseverance are quail
ties. A little struggle and then fall
ing off few FAINT efforts and then de-
spair-this is the usual story of at
tempts to "get anything" whether it be
a physical, mental or spiritual good.
But to long for thing so strongly that
for the sake of it's attainment one can
conquer obstacles, live down opposi-
ton, ignore discouragement and work
persistently and through years of trial
and obscurity toward the fullAlment of
a hope-is not this the record of all
grand achievements and the history of
purposeful lives?
Many more wishes might be realized
if people we're willing to pay the price
for them. Anything worth having in
this world is dear, including expert
ence. Genius itself has been defined
as only unlimited patience, or an end
less capacity for hard work.
1t was told of some celebrated gener-
al that he never knew when he was de
feated. By and by he could not be de-
feated. A little of the same spirit in.
fused into ordinary life work would
make many dream possible that now
seems to the wistful dreamer as extra
VACANT as the cloudiest castle in Spain

rHE roL1rICAL oAMERA.

II Hugh Sharpe, of the upper end,
wants to be a delegate to the Constitu-
tional Convention. He's a Democrat.
Tin few weeks the political pot
is likely to be boiling at furious rate
in Pennsylvania. Four important
State Conventions are to be held this
summer and fall, and the work of
electing delegates TO these gatherings
will in itself stir up a general degree of
activity in politics. The dates for
three of the conventions have already
been fixed, and the time for the remain
ing one viii be set at meeting to be
held in Philadelphia next week. The
conventions and the order in which
they will be held are as follows; Repub-
licans, August 25th; Prohibition, Au-
gust Goth; Democratic, September 3D.;
State League of Clubs, to be fixed.

little darlinglr And laugh that was
the outcome of his perfect joy rippled
from his lips. "Shail I tell you what
happenedS Mr.. Raynor and Miss
Grahame, finding no one else available,
very sensibly fell in love with each
other, and are to be married in a
month"; have the invitation to their
wedding. And when shall ours be,
dearest-how much sooner? When
will my little rebel surrender to me for
lifeP"
"Never sirl" lifting her radiant
face with an expression that belied her
words. "But we will call it an armistice,
IL you like, and -"
Right in the park, at the risk of be-
ing seen by any passer-by, he took her
in his arms and kissed the rosebud
lips.
And what more they said concerns
us not; but when at last they turned
their steps to the home that Lurlie had
promised to exchange for her old one
in few weeks time, her hand was fast
and warm on his arm and a look on
their faces thai told that the surrender
had been mutual and complete.

osrENrArIoNs Ar FUNERALS.


It is "a sad commentary on a Chris
tian community, which takes that dis
trict title from a religion whose founder
is called the Consoler because his word
plucks the sting from death, that it
surrounds death with every circum-
stance of woe and gloom. The distinc-
tive ministry of the faith seems to fail
at the very point to which it is special
ly addressed. The natural christian
tune at the burial of the dead would
seem to be the cheer that springs from
the thought of Immortality sublime
hope, tender resignation.
The christian thought in that hour
should instinctively dwell upon the
soul, not upon the body, and the simp-
lest and most unostentatious rite of
burial would seem to be the most truly
christian. But the ostentation of
Christian funerals has become so great
that burial reform associations are
formed, both in this country and in
England, to relieve the poor of the
painful and needless cost which, from
mistaken respect for the dead, they
will not spare so long as ostentation is
the custom.
