The use of the term christian name
seems to be English and American
wholly: "baptismaI name" is used i'll
other countries. The term seems tC
have been used first after the reforma
tion, when Biblical names were used
as a reaction against the use OF the
saints names in the calendar. 1t is
evident that all Biblical names are
not Christian, but the reaction went
so far as to consider everything IN the
Bible as Christian and everything mo-
in the Bible as pagan, or certainly non
christian.

EIaBY PARK.
Nelson Trots Mile in e.1o "a and Beats
the Maine Record.

Yesterday morning at Rigby Park, the
stallion Nelson was driven mile by his
owner, C. II. Nelson, in the remarkable
time of 2. 100, the fastest mile ever trot-
ted in Maine. The last quarter was made
in 800 seconds, which is 2.03 gait. Only
few spectators were present to witness
this remarkable performance. Mr. Geo.
Burnham timed the stallion and Mr.. Nell
son won silk hat on the event.
Dictator Chief, owned by the possessor
Of the famous Nelson, covered mile in
2. 234. He has earned $4,000 at service
the past season and Nelson 1000.
Thirty men arrived from Bangor yes
terday morning to work for Contractor
Staples on the new road for the town of
Cape Elizabeth at Rigby Park. Twenty
teams and 30 men are now at work on
the track.
At meeting of the directors several
plans for grand stand were examined
but no selection made. The clerk was
instructed to put the track under national
rules duu Ol0Cl cnOOiAOl cPA hAfAAAA-- ''~toN--'
The building committee were at the
track yesterday morning, locating addi-
tional stabling of one hundred stalls. Mr.
Griffin thinks five hundred horses will
train here next season. The Boston and
Maine have their steam shovel again at
the track grading landing for unloading
horses andssa site for the station. Messrs.
| G. Fl. Nelson and f. R. Hayden were
granted permission to hold two days
meeting upon the grounds August 18th
and 18th. Permission was granted that
several trainers might secure records for
some of their horses. Mr.. Nelson is con-
fident that at this meeting Nelson will
lower the stallion record. The associa-
ton still adhere to the determination not
to hold meeting until the grounds are
graded, grand stands built and everything
in apple-pie order.

Crooks ON the Maine Central.

There is said to be a gang of thieves
operating along the railroad and devot-
ing themselves entirely to baggage, and
to protect the Maine Central and its pat
rons from loss, General Manager Tucker
has issued orders directing all employees
to watch sharply for these crooks, who
are stealing baggage and baggage checks
and transferring checks from one piece
of baggage to another, etc. Mr. Tucker
says: 1.-THE parties are well dressed
men and women, and are supposed to be
the same parties who operated il this
state last year. This gang has commence
ed on the roads west of Portland, and
are working east. They are likely to
commence operations on the line of this
road at any time. Too much care can
not be exercised for the protection OF
baggage at all times, but especial care
should now be taken against loss from
the thieves who are at this time operat-
ing in New England. Great care must
be taken for the safety of the United
States mail pouches and bags which pass
through the various stations"

SUMMIT Mt. WASHINGTON, July %.
The past week has been an exceeding
,ly interesting one. even if not especially
busy. Travel is very slow in starting
this year, but most landlords have great
hope that August WILDE busy enough
to make up for the dulness of July.
The burning of the Glen House situat-
ed at the base of Mt. Washington will
probably have depressing effect on
business for several weeks. The Glen
was the newest and finest house IN the
mountain region and always very popu-
lar with Portland people. The stage
line down the Mt. Washington carriage
road to the Glen and then to Glen Sta
tion has been continued without inter-
ruption and the weeks business has been
very gratifying. A person who has not
made the circuit trip of Mt. Washington
by way of the Glen House stage line has
missed the finest days trip in America.
Forest fires have been very numerous,
and for several nights more than half a
dozen could be counted from the Sum
NIT. Rain began to fall Saturday, and it
is hoped that enough will fall to extin-
guish the fires which are causing SO
much destruction in the New Hamp-
shire forests.

AFTER FoRTY-TWo YEARS.


A bronzed and bearded man walked
into c. B. Woodman's drug store in
Westbrook, made simple purchase and
inquired with sort of nervous inditfer-
ence, evidently assumed, "Does anyone
by the name of Hazelton live around here
now?''
ssLots of them" said the clerk; there
goes one now," pointing to mddle-aged
man crossing the street.
The stranger stepped up to the man and
asked him if he was the son OF Ivory Ha-
zelton who used to drive team. The
man said yes and that his name was Gar
diner Hazelton.
s'Wel," said the stranger, Il am your
brother Almery.'
Forty-two years ago, acting by a sud
den impulse, Almery Hazelton left home
at eighteen years of age and went to sea,
He is one of family of eight children.
His mother died in 1884, his father four
weeks later. Almery has been all over
the world. He doesn't talk much about
himself. He came here directly from Salt
Lake City. He was working in mine
at Salt Lake City Suddenly desire
came across him impelling him toward
home. He at once dropped his tools, in
formed his foreman, drew some money
from the bank and, after changing his
clothes, boarded train. He came dl-
rectly to Maine without a stop. Twelve
hours before his departure he had enter
tanned no idea of coming east. His de-
parture when boy and his homecoming
were both from pure impulse. He hnds
the Westbrook of his youth and the pres
emit city two such different places that he
is bewildered by the change.

WoMEN's MUSICAL CLUBS.
The Rossini Club and Misses knight and
Kicker Receive Special Honors.

The National Convention of Women S
Amateur Musical Clubs of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition was held June 81
to June "a, inclusive. The objects of this
convention were as follows:
LIST. To show the actual standard of
musical culture amongst the best class OF
American women in all parts of the
country, and the character and quality of
the educational work in music being done
by women's amateur musical clubs.
I'd. To stimulate the formation of such
clubs in places where they do not now
exist, and to improve the work of those
already organized by giving them an OPP
portunity to measure themselves with
each other.
Sd. To give a national recognition to
this department of woman's educational
work which has hitherto been overlooked.
Thirty-ive clubs were represented,
from Maine to California and from Ten
nessee to Washington. The programmes
gave music from Johann Sebastian Bach
to that of the present time. Forty min
utes were allowed for each club and a de-
scriptive paper was read by each presi-
dent. The sessions were from nine until
twelve and from one until nearly three
O'Clock. An expert jury on awards, con-
sisting of twelve experienced musicians,
was present at these sessions.
The report Of the contest has been re-
ceived by the Rossini club. There were
five clubs out of the thirty-five that were
awarded the diploma of special honor, OF
which the Rossini club was one. The
other four were the Ladies' Matinee Mu-
steal of indianapolis, the Morning Musical
club of Fort Wayne, the Tuesday Musical
club of Detroit, and the Amateur Musical
CLUB of Chicago. Sixteen other clubs
each received the diploma of honor.
They were all Western clubs except the
Schumann club of Brooklyn.
In addition, special individual awards
were made to these whose performances
merited special mention: Misses F. G..
Knight and Kate NJ. Kicker, Portland, of
the Rossini club, and Miss Schivla, Morn
ing Musical club of Fort Wayne.
Arthur Mees of New York was chair
man of the committee on awards and
Edward Lloyd of London and Theodore
Thomas of Chicago among its members.

The Uniyersalist church has been re-
painted and ornamented with a new bel
fry. 1t is also expected to receive ex-
tensive internal repairs. In looking
over the History of the Town of Wind
ham we find: ''At meeting Of the Uni
versalist society June Is, 1910, it was
voted to build meeting house As feet

1st, 1S40, dedicated May IL, lS41.n So
| well did these men build that their "bel-
fry. steeple, dome and spire,'' have

the old members of the congregation

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Casino Theatre.

Manager W. C. Parker is elated at the
success of his new venture. The leasing
of the fast steamer Merryconeag, the
low price, the free dance every night
and the excellent dramatic treat, with a
superfuity of songs and dances, all
show his liberal views in running a sue
cessful play house and his evident de-
sire to give his patrons their moneys
worth. This week the dramatic attrac-
ton is the extremely funny farce come
DIV married an Hour which seems to
be the acme of jollity and fun, judging
from many complaints of aching sides
the day after.
The dance given every night, which is
free to holders of reserved seats, has
been perfect success and under the
hands of the able prompter Prof CARR
ty, is sure to be a pesmanept amuse-
ment Round trip tickets on the Merry
coneag from Portland Pier every evening
at 7.30 admit to both the theatre and
dance.

when it was discharged sending the ball
through the palm of his left hand.
John Mason, an employe at II. K.

he lighted it and applied it to the fuse.
1t did not catch, as he thought, and he
dropped the blazing paper on the fuse.
In an instant the charge exploded, and
Mr.. Mason's face was filled with powder
and his hands and arms severely
burned.
John Graham was at work in No. 8
machine room of S. D. Warren & Co. $

his arm, but not before he had beer
badly burned. Fortunately no bones
were broken.
