We're charmed by the eloquence OF the
late Hon, A. e.. l.ebroke of FoXcroft,
one of the most fluent and logical of
Maine, noted orators. and these will not
be surprised to learn that his daughter,
Mrs. \. y. Burke of Bingham, was
memorial day orator in the town of hei
home. this year. and her address gave
high pleasure and satisfaction.
We quote from the Bingham Herald
Mrs. Bnrke's address is spoken of by
able critics, as a mastery and able eff
fort. and one of the best ever heard here
on Memorial day, Although the adj
dress WAS lengthy. going deeply int
history. showing the causes that led to
the great conflict, it was listened To with
the most marked attention and interest
by the large crowd that filled the church
to Overlooking. We understand that thi-
was Mrs Burke's first appearance as Il
public speaker and she has surely Won foI
herself golden opinions and proved wo-
mans ability on the rostrum.
