In the early days Of the association
there were many tents every year, the
right to pitch one during the camp meet
ing season being obtainable for small
sum of money. The association is now
virtually land company, which sells it's
lots the same as any other real estate
corporation. and some of the s'cottagers'
are year round residents, with business
in Old Orchard village OF near by. The
auditorium is no longer used by the
Methodists only, but is leased out to any
religious body in good standing that may
make application and has enough money
to pay the price. This year the Ad-
ventists, the Salvation Army and the
christian alliance" have already held
meetings. The christian Workers For
the Salvation of Souls and the Promotion
of Holiness" have dates from Aug.
to Aug. IA, the Methodists portland
district), Aug. IA to Aug. 10, and the
temperance people from Aug. 10 to
Aug. 2S.
OF course it depends on your religious
temperament as to whether you would
enjoy the meetings or not. The tall
young New Highlander who acts as uni
formed policeman and general keeper of
the peace on the grounds says he finds
them all profitable, and he spoke SO ear
nestly that I do not think his liking is
altogether creature Of the fact that be-
cause Of them he has employment. The

ings of the Christian alliance, which is a
faith cure organization. The Salvation
Army meetings, in his opinion, by reason
of their wind and stringed instruments
and their big and little drums, afford more
legitimate diversion than any of the 9th
ers. He added that the Salvation audi
ences were quietest, which he accounted
for on the ground that there was noise
enough on the stand to meet all require
ments in that direction.
"And them" he said, nobody bothers
me much but the young men and young
women, who get away back in the shad-
ows and give up their time to courtin
instead of hstenin to the talkin. But I

The tracing" feature of life at Old
Orchard is comparatively new thing.
Trotting is more affected than running,
and the track is kite shaped. The names
of the horses that exhibit their speed are
unfamiliar to the New Yorker and the
westerner, but the sport is sometimes
pretty good, and the enthusiasm dis
played by the younger element among
the men is of tho sort that is born of
years of unsatis6ed longing for sport.
The beach at Old Orchard is one OF the
finest IN the world, and it's points Of SUI
periority are manifest at all stages Of
the water. When the tide is in, the
bathing grounds are unusually wide and
safe, for the dreaded undertow, SO dan
gerous in many places, is absent. But
bathing begins later in the season than
farther south, for the water retains a
wintry chill until the LIST of August.
When the tide is out, the beach forms a
wonderful drive, promenade and loung-
ing place. Vehicles of many kinds, La
den with all sorts and conditions of hui
manity, are driven up and down over
its smooth and firm sands. Young men
and women pace slowly and seriously to
and fro, making decorous love, and old
er persons sit in comfortable armchairs,
which are rented out at 10 cents scat,
and watch them.
/ So much for the seaside life Of Old Or
chard-the phase Of existence that may
with the most propriety perhaps be
called worldly. The place possesses
quite another sort of life, and it is re-
Egious.
Back Of the beach lie the grounds of

!ciaa;en. Between it and the seaside ele-

The Maine NOn-F Forfeiture Law.

There can be no reasonable doubt, but
that one of the chief contributing factors
in the Union MutuaPs acquisition of
New Business is the fact that the Bene
fits of tho Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
are daily becoming better understood by
intending insurers-and with this clearer
understanding they naturally secure
Policies containing it's benefits, it being
equally well understood that the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
Portland, Maine, is the only compa-
NY issuing Policies under this law.
During the twenty-six weeks constitut-
ing the first half of 1898, no fewer than
thirteen notices of Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Policy-hol-
dershad through some cause or causes al
lowed their Policies to lapse, and upon
which, without any action whatever on
their part, their insurance was continued
by the benefcent operation of the Maine
Non-Forfeiture Law. These Policies ag-
gregated in amount more than $32, 900.
One of these cases will suffice to show
the far-reaching scope and liberal char
acter of this law:

SAGE. SURE AND SPEEDY.

No external remedy ever yet devised has so
fully and unquestionably met these three prime
conditions as successfully as ALLCocKs PoR-
GUS PLAsTERs. They are safe because they
contain no deleterious drugs and are manufac
tured upon scientific principles of medicine.
They are sure because nothing goes into them
except ingredients which are exactly adapted
to the purpose for which plaster is required.
They are speedy in their action because their
medicinal qualities go right to their work of re-
lieving pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions OF muscles
nerve and skin. Do not be deceived by mis-
representation. Ask for ALLCoCK's, and

NEVADA FINANCIALLY SOLID.


Utah, it appears, is not alone in the
excellence of her showing as to financial
stability and the strength Of her banking
and business institutions. The follow
ing dispatch in reference to her neighbor
on the west is evidently satisfactory and
ought to show our eastern people that the
silver producing regions are not entirely
cast down:
RENO, New, Aug. 11.-Strange as it
may seem, Nevada is about the only
state or territory in the union that has
ridden the turbulent financial sea thus
far without having q single failure or
suspension charged to her account. That
she has escaped and is likely to is mat
ter for congratulation and is favorably
commented on.
The reason is plain. Nevada's bust
for number of years. She has been do
Ing business on legitimate business
principles and had no boom to initiate
values.
The crown of financial glory should
rest on Nevada's brow, and the ''rotten
borough is likely to come out OF the
shuttle on top. Reno has shown wonder
full vitality during all these hard times
and is growing steadily.
| Nevada's chief trouble has arisen from
the paucity Of her agricultural resources
and the lack of manufacturing interests
She has been of great benefit to the ma
ton in the wealth OF minerals that she
has added to the nation s riches. A little
more attention to those essential branches
of industry that must be at the back OF
mining to ensure its permanent success,
would probably have given her better
standing among the other states of the
Union. It is pleasing to know that ou1
neighbor is in such good financial posi-
ton and it speaks well for the sagebrush
and silver state. May her prosperity con.
tinue and her population and prestige in
crease.
