The Maine Building at the Worlds Fair

The Maine Building at the Worlds Fair.
Good progress is being made in raising
subscriptions for the State of Maine
building at Chicago. The amount re-
quired is $1,000, $1,000 of which was
allotted to Portland as her share. This
amount has already been raised in this
CITY, the canvassing having been done by
Joseph E. Blabon, George S. Hunt and
Fred Il. Richards, who were appointed a
committee for this purpose by the Port
land Board of Trade. This committee
mas been Informed by the committee of
the worlds Fair commission that a much
larger sum can well be used, moro
especially for the laying out of the
grounds surrounding the building. So
IL any OF our citizens have been neglected
tney can send their subscriptions to
eitner OF the above named committee.

PROHIBITION IN PORTLAND.
Rev. D. NJ. Pratt Talks ON this Subject at
WiIIiston Church.

Rev. D. M. Pratt, pastor of Willliston
church, took for his topic yesterday,
Isaiah XI-9 ''Thou shalt not hurt nor de-
stroy in all Gods holy mountains; for
the earth shall be full of the knowledge
of the Lord as the waters cover the sea-
After the preliminary the preacher said
that here in Portland we are called to
face one of the weightiest problems a
Christian people were ever called to con-
slider. This city bears the reputation of
being in the forefront of the temperance
movement and is quoted in England and
America as an illustration of the possi-
bly, competition with the liquor power.
The liquor men are massing their forces
to overthrow this stronghold of temper
ance. Millions of money would be
poured in here in six hours if it was
thought our voters would sell principles
for dollars and cents. The coming cleo
ton in the fall, said the speaker,
is to be crisis, inasmuch as repeal of
our laws and an Intentional relaxation of
them is contemplated. There are many,
who, if they don't express themselves
politically, or morally, would confess
desire to see this result accomplished.
The preacher laid down these state
ments as facts. 1st, Prohibition as
principle is right morally; End, Prohibi-
ton is right as civil principle. The state
has the right of self-preservation. We
are fast approaching the time when our
national government will be captive to
the liquor traffic. In many states and
cities the saloon sits on the throne and
holds the sceptre Of authority. The
license system is begetting generation
OF people, ignorant of self-government,
more and more lawless, discontented,
illiterate, debased, lustful and criminal.
The saloon is the principal agent in the
moral degradation. Enforced prohibi-
tion throughout the country for one gen
GRAFTON would make this the most vir-
tuous and prosperous nation the sun
ever shone upon.
Sd, Prohibition is financially profta-
Bile. This has been demonstrated by the
enforcement of the law in our city
the past twelve months. The extra cost
has been more than balanced by the
fines received. $4,000 has been added to
the court treasury the past twelve
months by the enforcement of the laws.
1t was Blaine who said, 81 think that be-
fore the Maine laws went into effect
Maine was the poorest state in the Union
and now it is one of the most prosper
ous."
Many people have supposed the en-
forcement of the law profitable to the
sheriff, but the enforcement of the
law diminishes his revenue proportion
ateiy. The arrest of the rumsellers pre-
vents the arrest of a dozen or twenty
drunkards and this means one fee in
stead of dozen or twenty. Then again
the police are made rich in many cities
by the money paid them for non-enforce-
ment of the law. Thousands of dollars
have probably been offered our sheriff
not to enfore the law. Such man
should be well supported, and probably
will be.

To the old soldiers,
the living and the dead,
whose patriotism and 10y
atty made this country
the peaceful, prosperous
Union that it is, we give
the day.
The memory of their
gallant deeds and the con-
scious pride in the noble
results achieved, are min
gled in cheers and tears
for those who made the
Stars and Stripes victo-
rious; as a tribute to
their heroism we give the
anniversary honors.
Today with flowers and

of those who never came
back, and with praise and
heartfelt rejoicings we
keep step with those who
are marching under tat
tered banners to the SOL
emn chant Of long ago.
Once a year they come
to us, these veterans "by
all their country's wishes
blest," once a year their
presence helps to remind
us of what we owe them;
we are proud to do our
part to make the day me-
mortal.

right direction. The assassin strikes

what Mother Should 10.


As the boys grow up, make COM
panions O them then they will not
seek companionship elsewhere.
Let the children make a noise
sometimes their happiness is as inn
portant as your nerves.
Respect their little secrets; if they
have concealment, worrying them
vii viii never make tthhem tell and pa
thence will probably do its work.
Allow them, as they grow older,
to have opinions of their own make
them individuals and not mere
echoes.
Remember that without physical
health mental attainment is worth
less; let them lead free, happy lives,
which will strengthen both mind
and body.
Bear in mind that you are largely
responsible for your child's inherit
ed character and have patience with
faults and failings.
Talk hopefully to your children Of
life and its possibilities you have nc
right to depress them because you
have suffered.
Teach boys and girls the actual
facts of life as soon as they are ole
enoughAta understand them, ano
give them the sense of responsibility
without saddening them.
Find out what their special tastes
are and develop them, instead O
spending time, money and patience
in forcing them into studies that art
repugnant to them.
As your daughters grow up teach
them at least the true merits O
housekeeping and cookery; they
will thank you for it in later life s
great deal more than for accomplish
ments.
Try and sympathize with girlisf
flights of fancy, even if they seem
absurd to you; by SO doing you vii
retain your influence over YOU
daughters and not teach them to
! seek sympathy elsewhere.
