AN EVENING IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The service at the North church
last Sunday evening was devoted en-
tirely to addresses on South Africa.
Rev. Josiah Tyler was the first speak
er. Mr.. Tyler said among other
things that he and his wife labored
among the Zulus 10 years before
they saw any direct result of their
labors. During his 40 years resi-
dence there many of the Zulus had
become civilized and were living in
houses containing furniture made in
America and many of the modern
improvements. The Zulus did not
give up their native customs easily
and it was hard to convince them
that polygamy was wrong.
Rev James Gray of Pretoria spoke
of the political future ofSouth Africa
He named the different republics and
colonies there and said that Engish
influences were being ielt all over
that vast territory and that the in.
tiuence the ofDutch settlers was grow
ing less. Some of the native tribes
are remarkably intelligent and the
resources of the whole country are
being so rapidly developed that i'm
migration is steadily increasing from
all the civilized countries. Here is
the New England of Africa.

a NEW DRUG STORE,

Charles D. Bagley has moved into
his new drug store in the Merchants
Bank block and is being congratu-
lated upon having such an elegant
store. 1t is unquestionably one of
the finest drug stores in the state.
The front room is about 20 by 40
feet, and the back room is the same
size. The two rooms are separated
by a beautifully Y carved oak partition
ornamented with colored glass win
dows and French plateglass mirror
in the center. The finish of the store
is in oak and the wood work is all
hand carved. The iron ceiling is
handsomely frescoed, and the store is
lit by the new system of kerosene
lights which has recently been intro
duced in town. The arrangement
for storing drugs and all the appurt-
enances of a pharmacy are all of the
latest pattern and furnished by a city
house which makes speciality of
fitting out drug stores.

AN ATTRACTIVE LECTURE.

Next week Friday evening occurs
the second entertainment in the Y.
M. c. A. course-a lecture on "Be-
douins of the Desert" by Lydia Won
Finklestein Of Jerusalem (now Mrs.
Mountford.) This celebrated lectur-
err on Eastern life and manners was
born and brought up in the city of
Jerusalem, and having lived in Pales-
tine and Syria until she was twenty
years of age, she is thoroughly ia
miliar with the manners and
customs Of the many races which in
habit those countries. Mrs. Mount
ford is also gifted with remarkable
dramatic power; she lectures in ORR
entail costume, assisted by ladies and
gentlemen similarly attired; and the
platform being fitted up with tents,
furniture, arms, pictures, and vari-
Gus household accessories, striking
living pictures of some of the most
interesting scenes in Bible history are
presented. Her success has been
simply phenomenal The Washing
ton Republic refers to her as "de-
scriptive, entertaining and very in
structive." The appearance of this
lady in our course will prove a novel
and enjoyable feature.

ACADEMY STUDENTS ARRESTED.

An incident quite out of the ordi-
nary course occurred at South Hall
early Friday morning, when Harley
H. Blodgett of West Waterford was
taken by a party of students and
ducked in the bath-tub in the base
ment of the building. The deed was
done in very few minutes and the
students who participated in the af-
fair were called before the principal
and disciplined. The boys thought
this ended the matter, but Monday
affairs took a different turn. Blod-
gett's father caused the arrest of the
five students who participated in the
fracas and they were held in $1,000
bonds to appear at the December
term of court. The charge was as
sault and battery on plea that the
cold bath might have resulted in
Blodgett's death. The boys who
were arrested are Harry w. Clark
and James P. Clark of Derry, N. H.,
Elmer M. Miller of Ryegate, E. S.
Sweetser of Cumberland Center, Me. =,
and F. P. Perry of Keene Valley, N.
Y. Bail was furnished by Principal
Putney and Vice-Principal Hardy.
The students claim that Blodgett,
who rooms on the fourth floor of
South Hall, had frequently disturbed
the occupants of the building, es-
pecially in the early morning, and
that Blodgett paid no attention to
their request to desist from his dis
turbances.

ABOUT PARTRIDGES.

Z. M. Richardson family enjoyed
a game dinner Saturday that was
entirely unexpected. A partridge
flew through a window, but could
not get through the screen. The
bird fell to the ground, where it was
captured by Mr.. Richardson. The
fight of the bird was so swift that
the hole in the glass was as round as
if il had been pierced by a bullet.
Speaking about partridges, we find
misapprehension exists concerning
the new law protecting the English
partridge. Some think that this
refers to our common partridge, but
this is not so. The law was passed
to protect the pheasants or English
partridges which Gen. Webb is try
mo 70 introduce into the state. Our
partridge is known to ornithologlsts
as the ruffed grouse and is an entire
" different bird from the English
partridge.
