During last winter Professor l., E.
Warren, of Colby University, gave a

made for a second course on successive
Wednesday evenings, commencing this
evening, November 18th, at 8 o'clock.
The lecture this evening will be on Flo
renee. Of the succeeding lectures one
will be on Greek sculpture, and three on
architecture, viz, Greek, Roman and
Christian. These lectures, which also
will be illustrated, will be given in the
library room of the Maine Historical So

There is a catch in the new collateral
inheritance law. and it is the occasion of
fine figuring among the lawyers. The
statute, after specifying that property
not descending to direct heirs is sub
Ject to taxation, says such property is
''liable to tax of IL per cent of it's val
ua above the sum of $780," Now the
question is whether this sum of $500 is
to be taken out of the whole estate. or
$500 from the amount which each heir is
entitled to. It will be seen that in the
latter case should there be half a dozen
or more heirs, the tax derived by the
state from this source would be materi-
ally cut down. In facta probate official
thinks it would almost render the law
imperative as the large majority of the
estates are small, with numerous heirs.

HARsoR NOTES.
There Was Gallant Spectacle in the Lower
Harbor Yesterday-A Race Up the
Coast

The lower harbor presented a gallant
spectacle yesterday afternoon. There
has gradually collected there during the
past week of light winds, a large fleet of
vessels, most of them westward bound.
Yesterday most of them had their sails
up, and as they were lying side by side,
the whole fleet formed a striking specra-
Gle. There were an hundred or an hun
dred and fifty sail, larger number than
has been in the harbor at any one time
for years.
The tars along the water front are
eagerly watching for thesschooners Hat
tie Charleson, Bertha Warner and Fail
mouth. The three left Philadelphia for
Portland Thursday night and Friday
morning and are thought to be racing up
the coast.

THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD
Rev. DIR. Blanchard's Lecture at Con
gress Square Church Last Evening.

The Rev. DR.. Blanchard opened his
course on @The Religions of the Worldp
last evening in the vestry of Congress
Square church. He began by saying that
Chinese Buddhist, when the bell of his
monastery rang out for prayer, prayed
that it's sound might ring through the
whole world, and that every living soul
might again realize and find eternal
peace in God. That is a good prayer with
which to begin course Of lectures on
the religions of the world He then
stated the results of his study of re-
ligions First, that all recognized God,
however dimly some may do SO; second
ly, that Jesus is seen to be the greatest
of religious teachers, but, nevertheless,
only a human being; thirdly that history
can only consider religion as the dis
covery by man of eternal truths.
He, himself, held strong conviction
that God interposes to help humanity in
time of need by using great men. But
history of religions cannot discuss the
questions Of inspiration and revelation.
Buddha,s Confucius, Jesus Socrates,
Zoroaster Mohammed, must all be re-
gard as seekers after God.
The lesson of history is Jesus is the
greatest helper of men in their search for
God. Christianity is the religion which
sums up the excellences Of all and
gives as no other religion does the father
hood of God.
DR.. Blanchard then dwelt on Bud dha
and Buddhism. The story of Buddha's
life was outlined, and an impressive
selection from Edwin Arnold's Light of
Asia" was read. Five hundred millions
of Gods children are Buddhists today
The causes of the rise and power and
progress of Buddhism were pointed out
and dwelt upon. They were Buddha's
noble character, his constant appeal to
reason, his emphasis on morality, his
hope of the final holiness and happiness
of all, his persuasive teaching Of gem
tleness and love, his doctrine that man,
not any god, must save himself. DR..
Blanchard showed that Bud lhism does
believe in God and in Immortality But
it is far inferior to Christianity in two
respects sit does not summon to full
ness of life as does Jesus, nor lift men
by faith in a loving heavenly father
The next lecture will be given Nove1n-
Der 18th. The subject will, be "Con-
fucius and His Religion"

Under the Palms.
At Woodford's Memorial church this
evening the beautiful cantata of Under
the Palms" will be given. 1t is under
stood that the cantata has been in re-
hearsal for some time SO that the ladies
and gentlemen who participate in it's
production will give very .smooth and
satisfactory performance.
The Cantata represents in song the re-
turn of the Jewish people from their
long captivity in Babylon, and the cele-
bration of the Feast of Tabernacles,
afording an interesting entertainment.
The music is good.
BristoPs Trained Horses.
There is no form of entertainment that
appeals more readily to both old an
young than horse show. The partiality
for good horse is ingrained in almost
every American. The public will remem-
Der the won 1erful trained horses that
Pro. Bartholomew introduced to them some
years ago and Prof. Bristol's are said to
be fully the equal if not the superiors,
OF that troupe. The matinee Sat lrday
will give the children great chance to
see them. The horses will be seen
Thursday night for the first time.
Notes.
The Golden Wedding company has
with them George Fortesque, the Clipper
Quartette, Miss Elsie Adair, Miss Yorke
and twenty Others in the cast with chorus
and orchestra. Popular prices will pre-
vail and tickets will be ready tomrrow.
