Rev. DR.. Hale's Reading.

The announcement that DR.. Hale will
read from his own works on Tuesday af-
ternoon next will be received with great
pleasure by Portland people.
Edward Everett Hale is one of the most
unique and interesting personalities of
this country. Born in Boston in 1922,
son of Nathan Hale and Sarah Preston
Everett Hale, he represents our finest
New England lineage. He was studying
a little Latin"at six years of age and
he entered Harvard at IS, which serves
to show his bcokish bent He gradual
ed at II and was the poet Of his class. An
early acquaintance with Prescott, at the
period when he was writing ferdinand
and Isabellan gave young Hale a star t
in that interest in Spain and in South
America, since developed SO thoroughly.
As usher at the Latin School, in Office
and newspaper work, shorthand and ex-
ira reporting his busy days were spent.
He studied for the ministry and was or
dained to the church at Worcester Mass,
in 1886. His thought has always been
that preaching to men of affairs, minis
ter should mingle in the worlds active
life to certain degree that he may
know the material with which he deals.
To help the world is the office of the
Christian church,
Some of his historical works, as" Frank
lin in France" are very fine and of his
philanthropic and literary plans-of his
furtherance Of organized comradeship
and loving labor for good it is hardly
necessary to speak. Harry Wadsworth, y
@Lend a Hand" and "Ten Times One"
are household words.
A Man Without a Country" aIn His
Name" and aMy Double and How he
Undid Me" are specially famous among
his writings.
= The advancement of the liberal faith is
his aim and object; the work of the min
istry his vocation, literature his avoca-
ion, yet his achievements in the latter
field are prodigious.
Tuesday afternoon at O'Clock at the
First Parish House DIR. Hale Will read.
The programme will be given later, but
it is probable it will include selections
from "a Man Without Country" "My
Double" and perhaps something in manu-
script. The people who will look forward
to this delightful occasion will be not
only those of literary tastes, but the citi-
zen, the patriot, the teacher, the men
and women proud to own Dr. Hale as a
leader of rare powers and inspiring ex-
ample.

ANOTHER LINE TO EUROPE.
The Thomson Line Will Probably Make
This City Its Winter Port.

Mr.. Smith, the agent of the Grand
Trunk road, received letter yesterday
from the Refords, agents of the Donald
son and other lines of steamers asking
IT the Grand Trunk could take care of
another line of ocean steamers. The
proposed line will run direct from this
port to London. 1t is composed of two
fine freight steamers, the Iona, of 1000
tons, and the Husonia, of 1900 tons. Mr..
Smith thought there would be no diff
Guilty in looking out for the boats and
they will probably come here. This
will make four lines of steamers this
winter. The London line will run either
fortnightly or monthly.

First Free Baptist Church.

To the Editor OF the Press.
Several years ago the Free Baptists

former name, be not retained. and that
their church property be known by their

COUNTY AFFAIRS.
The Commissioners Decide the West Fal-
mouth Road Case Adversely to the
Petitioners-Other Matters.

The County Commissioners went to
West Falmouth, Monday, and held a
hearing on the proposed new road from
North Falmouth to West Falmouth post
office. M. p Frank and Charles Clifford
appeared for the petitioners, and Ell. W.
Swasey for the town officers of Falmouth
and the remonstrants. The hearing was
held in Knights of Pythias Hall, in the
presence of large gathering of citizens
of Falmouth and adjoining towns. Wit
nesses in behalf of tho road were Messrs.
Babbidge, L. M. Ingersoll of Falmouth,
Robert Allen. w. II. Vinton and Mr..
Freeman of Gray, Stewart and Hobbs of
Falmouth. Foster and Adams of Gray,
and Fields of Falmouth. In opposition
to the road were Messrs. William E.
Winslow, Lorenzo Leighton, Packard,
Captain W. SWEET, Stephen Staples,
Leighton Huston, and. F. B. Blanchard,
all of Falmouth.
The petitioners urged, in brief. that
the new road would make an opening for
the people of East Windham, Gray, West
Gray and Morriips Corner in Falmouth,
to Portland, without going over the steep
hills over Blackstrap and the new Gray
road.
The remonstrants urged that the new
road would be crooked, hard to build,
only half mile from the old road, need
ing 20 culverts. liable to drift badly in
winter, costly to the town of Falmouth.
etc.
The County Commissioners reserved
their decision at the time, but yesterday
decided that public necessity and conve-
nience did not require the new road.
Falmouth Bridge.
Tuesday the Commissioners met the
selectmen and road commissioners of
Falmouth at Falmouth bridge to discuss
the grading of the hill by the bridge.
No decision was reached.

MUSIC AND DRAMA,
Professor Carpenter.

Prof. Carpenter is amusing many
people at Portland theatre this week
with his interesting exhibition of hypno-
tis1n. He selects subjects from the
audience and rarely fails to obtain COM
plete control over them. The entertain
ment will be given each evening this
week. These entertainments combine in
certain sense all others being more
marvellous than magic, while they create
more fun and laughter than all other
entertainments combined. People laugh
while they learn more than they ever
thought of in regard to human posi-
bilities and relations. Prof. Carpenters
experience in this field of investigation
has not been surpassed if equalled by any
one in this country, and long runs of
large audiences have been given him in
all the principal cities of the United
States.
The FisIke Jubilee Singers.
The Fisk Jubilee Singers have had the
honor of appearing, by invitation, before
more distinguished persons than any

son; Her Majesty Queen Victoria; their

nearly all the crowned heads of Europe,
together with many of the most distin-
guished ministers and educators, both in
the old world and the new. They will
appear at City Hall Nov. Sth.

Mr.. Morton a Hustline Husker.
From the st. Louis Republic.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-"I see," said
the Hon. J. Sterling Morton, as he oheerily
placed large squash on his desk this morn
ing, that another machine for husking
corn has been patented; 1 do not know
what merits may be claimed for it by the
inventor, but do know that there is no
machine that will take the place Of the hired
man. The human being is the only sue
cessful corn husker, and may mention
that can shuck more corn in given time
than any man west OF the Missouri river. l
take eight rows at a time, and think moth
ing of husking 200 bushels in a day, when
the weather is propitious.
c. H. Van Wyck, formerly United
States senator, is neighbor of mine, and,
while we are not on the best of terms, /
cheerfully adm that Van is "a daisy in a
corn field. We had a match a couple of
of years ago, the prize being a big sorrel
colt, and beat him badly, shocking 4OC
bushels in six hours to his 300 bushels. |

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
Told BY the Psychical Research Society
secretary to Unitsrians.

DoCI OSdi y W Oh4b6AAdhSs
Boston Special in Pittsbuyo Dispatch
Ernst Allen, secretary of the Society OF
Psychical Research, relsted some queer IN
cidents before the Unitarian minister to-
day, which he claimed tended to prove that
through psychioal research lies the certain
way to the further development of liberal
religious faiths.
1t lies directly in the path Of Unitarian
and Universalist beliefs but he urged that
unless these sects take It up Immediately a
new religious denomination will surely
spring up from the students of this science
which will soon outstrip the present orders.
To illustrate his arguments he told of some
Of his own experiences which had occurred
while studying this subject They were al
most convincing proofs of the value of the
science in the hands of an honest and up
right man.
One experience Of his own was quite in
teresting. A friend of his died, and the
widow was about TO dispose OF the household
furnishings when one day, a little more
than a week from the date OF the death, the
speaker on entering bis own room felt dis
tinctly the presence of the dead friend. IL
then came into his mind that he should
write to the widow TO tell her not 60 sell the
furniture because another friend would
come on from the west and arrange matters
more satisfactorily.
To convince himself, IL possible, that this
was not a hallucination, but bona fde
communication from his dead friend, he
Immediately visited two ladies who live
near him, one Of whom is a medium, and
without the slightest suggestion from him
Of the nature Of his visit the lady informed
him that the spirit of the doctor, the dead
friend, was present. He therefore wrote to
the widow, as he had been moved to do,
and later on he learned that the western
friend had come on without the interven.
ton of any one, and had succeeded in getS
ting the furniture dealer of whom the goods
were bought to exchange the pieces which
had 80 many unhappy associations for the
widow for other articles.
