REV /. M. FOSTER :

DR. Plumley, in introducing the last
speaker, Rev /. M. Foster of Bridgeport,
said that the program would not be COM
plete without hearing from one of the
boys in blue. Rev Mr. Foster spoke in
terestingly and earnestly, in part as fol-
lows: while you are all so joyful, to-
day, | am overwhelmed with sorrow at
not having been born in Connecticut. MY
father and my wife were born in this
State. 1 was so intended. At last,
have had sense enough to come back to
good old Connecticut. L am now one of
your citizens, but, if it took property
right, could not be, for who ever heard
Ola Methodist minister having property
or money of any amount, for that matter.
A young lady was asked her native place
and replied, II haven't any. l am a
Methodist minister's daughter" l was
a Methodist minister's son. l see on the
platform, to-day, more than one old SOL
der. Some people say we have no rank
in our country. | say we have. We have
rank of intelligence, virtue and truth.
We have one glory; the humblest citizen
may rise to the highest rank. Wealth is
not the heart of our national life. Gold
is said to be the central shaft of the uni
verse, but obedience to conscience, virtue
and truth are greater than gold. Who
are the greater, the descendants of Miles
Standish, or the descendants of Cortez
There is peace and stability in the old
flag raised, to-day. Good men are all
about US. Men that love truth more
than gold. Men like Lincoln, who can.
not be swerved. Who know the truth
and are not afraid to stand by it,
Rev Mr. Foster gave some happy war
experiences and jokes and closed his re-
marks by saying that men should have
courage. lift the old flag so high that
every nation can see that we can take
care of it ourselves"
After singing america" and the ben
edietion, there was a general rush for
the heavily laden tables, but, owing to
the generosity of the ladies, the supply
was equal to the demand. The speakers
and reporters were given tent by them
selves and did complete justice to the
good things.

A Novel Entertainment.

One of the most popular and successful
entertainments of the season has been
the Mock Court Trial, given under the
direction of an expert, Capt A. V. New
ton, of Worcester, Mass. Lynn became
greatly excited over it as attested by a
five column report in it's leading daily,
and best of all by the great audience of
leading society people that packed the
theatre to the doors. The success at
Lynn was repeated at Salem, Lowell,
Lawrence, Manchester, Haverhill, Wor-
cester, Brockton, Fall River, Providence,
New Bedford, several times in Boston,
and at many other cities. In some
places, New Bedford for instance, the
whole house has been sold long in adj
vance and hundreds have been turned
away unable to obtain even standing
room. The Boston papers have given
this entertainment more frequent, ex-
tended and favorable notices than any
now before the public.
1t is a pleasure to announce that the
Mock Court Trial will be given in City
Hall on Wednesday evening, June 22d,
under the auspices of Bosworth Post No.
2, G.. A. R., for the benefit of their
Washington fund. One of our leading
citizens will be tried for the larceny of a
Plymouth Rock rooster from one of his
neighbors. Possibly he may be poll
tician and wanted something that would
crow well over election results this fall,
but be that as it may, there will be an
immense amount of fun, therefore let all
remember the date of the great Mock
Court Trial.

the Lambeth conference in 1884, and of
the generous assistance given to the
church in this state by the churches in
New York, the bishop took up the story
again of his episcopal labors in Maine.''
In March he gave his consent to the
organization of a mission at Madison, and
appointed it's officers. Stated services
have been maintained there and at Show
hogan by Rev. j. W. Sparks.
The total number of combinations for
the year was 235, an increase over the re-
turns for several years past. Four cler-
gymen have been transferred from, and
six have been received into the diocese.
and two candidates have been admitted
to holy orders. The bishop spoke earn
estly of the necessity of taking advantage
of the offered opportunities for church
extension and invoked the cordial coop
Grafton of the clergy and laity in that
line of work. ut is" said the bishop,
"a cause of grief to me that with our in
creased number of communicates there
should have been no increase in the of
ferings for home missions. It is only by
such general cooperation that calls for
the fur ther extension of the church in
this field can be met, and our responsible
ity for such extension fulfilled y The
bishop appealed to the clergy and 1aity
to give more united support to st.
GATHERINGS Hall, and spoke of the high
character of that school. He then spoke
of the ST. Johns School for boys at
Presque Isle as of an equally high order
and as equally worthy the support of the
chnrch. He touched on some of the re-
ligious disputes and discussions of the
day such as the calling in question by some
of the authority of the scriptures, and the
credibility Of miracles, or any super
natural element in religion, and closed
by exhorting his hearers to press for
ward in the Christian life and work.
In the evening the Bishop and Mrs.
Nicely held reception at the bish-
ops house.

DAMAGES DIVIDED.
The Steamship Indian Collision Libel
Judge Nelson Awards One-half Damages
on Each Side.

Judge Nelson has filed an opinion and
issued a decree upon the libel against
the steamship Indian by the owners of
the schooner Andrew S. York and of her
cargo of paving stones. On September
6, 1891, the Indian, on a voyage from
Philadelphia to Boston, came in collision
with the York in a fog, while passing
Nantucket Shoals, when half way be-
tween Cross Rip and the Handkerchief
lightship.
The Andrew J. York was a three
masted schooner of PIT tons, bound
from Portland to New York. Her mas
ter had decided not to pass the Shoals
that night and stood to the southwark of
his usual course, intending to anchor.
He had put down his helm and come up
into the wind just as the Indians mast
head light doomed through the fog. The
two vessels came together. 1t was
claimed that the Indian was going so
slow that her engines would hardly pass
centres, but Judge Nelson says that the
circumstances taken altogether seem to
point to a higher rate of speed than safe
ty admitted, and which must be consid-
cred excessive. He therefore holds the
steamship to blame and awards one-half
damages against her to the owners of the
schooner and full damages to the owners
of the latter's cargo. He also DEGREES to
the steamer one-half damages allowed to
the cargo owners in set-off against the
damages decreed in favor of the owners
of the vessel.

A Good Suggestion.

The London Lancet suggests that
prizes should be offered for the best cup
of tea or coffee as much as for the best
show of fruits orsfowers. 1t is said that
good coffee can besmade with an old oys-
ter can and4a clean rag, but there are
few hotels or restaurants in this country
where the coffee is drinkable or nourish-
ing. Unfortunately, the advocates of
prohibition rarely offer an adequate sub
stitute for ales, wines and liquors, and,
as the Lancet says, 'sTo many of the
daily increasing number of total abstain
ers cup of really good coffee is perhaps
more wholesome, as well, as more palat-
able, than a too free use of aerated
waters, while many who are moderate
drinkers would prefer coffee in the mid
die of the day, or at other times when on
duty.''

Hunters Adventure with a Young

A Deering nimrod tells good story of
a recent adventure with a young par
fridge. These chickens of the woods
are noted for the celebrity with which
they disappear from the intruder who
plumbers into their coverts. But in this
particular case, one of the flock, upon
being scared up by the dog, flew direct
ly towards the hunter. The latter, see
ing the young partridge coming, held up
his hands and caught it as he would a
ball. The little creature was much ter
rified at first, but Immediately regained
confidence, SO that, when the hunter put
it upon the ground, it stood contentedly
a moment eying the hunter, and then
1eisurely hoped away.
