The enthusiasm of our giant sale as
tonished everybody, ourselves as well as
others. No! we retract that. for when
we saw the goods and remembered youl
previous prompt responses to our former
bargains we knew you would rally
around the towel counter. No such
towel sale has ever been had here. We
are requested to continue it. We will do
so today. If the stock had been of ord
mary dimensions we could not have done
SO; but the invoice was colossal, and the
output, though copious, has not yet ex-
hausted the stock. Another day like
yesterday and today will weaken us in
the towel stock. j. r. LIBBY.

slams Queer Judicial Methods,

German papers tell of queer method OF
Judicial procedure in parts of the kingdom
of Siam. In the absence of trustworthy
witnesses the judge orders the two contest
ants to dive in deep water. He who is able
to remain below the surface the, longer
time is the winner of the suit! The report
further declares that a particularly guar.

too old to try the 'scold water proof pro-

Col. Ingerson on Abraham Lincoln.

To the Editor Of the Press:
1t was an interesting event to hear Col.
Robert G. Ingersoll give his address on
Abraham Lincoln on Monday evening at
City hall. To one who is sensitive to
melody of voice, grace of gesture and
impassioned speech. Col. Ingersoll did not
appear as the foremost orator of
Amrica' The address, however, had its
own excellences One felt, as he pro-
ceeded, that there was man behind the
speech who loved freedom, truth,
justice. Reverence for the great souled
Lincoln was apparent There were fire.
quent felicities Of phrases. There was
natural, sincere straightforward delivery.
He was orator and not elocutionist.
Nevertheless the lecture lacked fullness
of presentation. 1t did not emphasize
Lincoln's chief characteristic-his faith
in God. 80
No one can carefully study that life,
especially as told by Herndon, Lincoln's
law partner and firm and sagacious
friend, without seeing that the power
which sustained him in his great trials
was his faith in an oyerrullng Provl-
dence. write these words, as historical
studying this life one is amazed by It's
great qualities and by their wonderful
balance. He is the greatest man America
has yet produced. He was great in in
tellect, in feeling, in will. He who does
not see that Lincoln was great because
of his faith in God sees not, it seems to
me, his greatest power. He did not de-
fine God. He did not accept the creeds
Of the churches He did not believe that
Jesus was God or that Heavenly Father
will punish his children forever. In
his early life, he wrote scathing review
of the Bible. A friend tore it from his
hand and put it in the fire. But in every
adored affianced, in the death of his
child, in his agony at the prolongation of
the war, this reader of Theodore Parker
and James Freeman Clarke, this lover of
the Scriptures and of Shakespeare, found
Strength and pecae in the assurance,
which his own mighty mind gave him,
that there was infinite mind and love
men.
I thank Col. Ingersoll for his noble
portraiture of Lincoln. I delighted in
his scorn of much of the atrocious
theology of the past. I believe as one of
my Congregationalist brother ministers
believes, that despite his severity and
even injustice, he has served the church
in his appeals to reason and human feel
ings But / wonder how any man who
delights in Shakespeare, in nature, in
art; who can be felicitous and SOnorOuS
in description of mountain and sea and
stars, can fail to feel himself that there
is power not ourselves, that makes for
righteousness in this world, presence,
a mind. will, a love, over all and
through all and in all, in which we and
all things live and move and have our
being. The full interpreter of Lincoln s
profound life must feel, with him, the
depth and height and breadth and power
and glory of God.

THAT ASSAULT ON A TRAIN.
The Boston & Maine Employees at Ports
mouth Think 1t Fake


A special from Portsmouth says the
Boston &c Maine railroad employees in
that city were somewhat surprised to
learn in the papers Monday that
another freight train had been held up in
the yard on Sunday morning. The fakes
were of such rank description that the
officials are justly indignant. There is
no truth in the statement that armed
forces are searching the woods for the
alleged organized gang of Is heavily
armed tramps, who promise to rob the
night freights between Boston and Port
land. 1t is common thing to find
tramps on most every freight train, and
four were encountered on the freight
Friday night, but the train was at stand
still when the tramps were encountered,
and showed fight, as they always do.
The last yarn about the train men be-
ing dubbed and stoned on freight 254,
makes the railroad men laugh. The en-
ployes expect to find tramps on their
trains as long as they run, and occasion
ally will find one that will show fight.
There are great many tramps along
the line, but the railroad officials laugh
at the assertion that a plot has been
formed to rob through freight trains, as
the statement is too ridiculous to be-
ieve.
j. NJ. Bennett, father of S. A. Bennett,
who was killed by freight train at Eliot
on Friday night last, has arrived at
Portsmouth. He said that he believed
his son was pushed from the train. His
son left his home between and p. m.
on Friday night, and said he was going
to Portland for work, and had SIS in
money. He had no money on his person
when found, and the fact that bloody
revolver was found short distance
from his body has started story of
murder.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

The town of Grafton. in Oxford coun-
ty, is in a state of great excitement, &C
cording to report from there by way of
Bethel. There is, it seems, man lurk-
ing about who has occasionally peered
into the windows of houses and frighten-
ed women. People are divided in opin-
ion as to whether he is a lunatic, wild
man. or hardened criminal To some
men who called to him as he ran from
them, he said he was chasing the devil.
To woman who found him looking
through window in her house, he said
in reply to question that he didn't
want anything. Whatever he wants,
Grafton people are disposed to keep out
of his way, and lonesome roads are de-
serted after dark.
Fred Chesterfield, Boston man, in
Jail at Ellsworth for theft, was whiting
Monday, when the knife slipped, cutting
a fearful cash in his right thigh. He
had nearly bled to death when found.
The limb quickly swelled to twice it's
normal size. The doctor pronounced it
a very dangerous wound. He will prob
ably recover.
