The Close Of Professor Davidson's Course.
Professor Davidson finished his course
on. Faust last night, taking up the
third. fourth and fifth acts of the second
part, and considering the Helena, in
particular, as dramatic presentation
of the relations between the Greek and
the Germanic civilizations; and the in
debtedness of the latter to Hellenic Gull
ture. Into consideration of this, the
lecturer went at some length, giving a
luminous exposition of.the characteristics
of the two forms of civilization, and the
color given to their relations in Goethe's
mind. The closing acts Professor David
son treated as expository of the inevita-
BILE conflict between culture and religion,
and the necessary triumph of the latter.
So closes course of lectures which
has attracted much attention and intelli-
gent, ii not large audiences.

Union Evangelistic Meetings.

The union evangelistic services of the
past week were held at the First Free
Baptist church. Increasing interest is
being manifested. Friday evening the
meeting was largely attended, testing
the seating capacity of the vestry. The
chorus, under the able management OF
Mr.C.F. Jones, are making the first fif-
teen minutes OF the service delight,
singing with spirit that shows their
heart is in the work.
The services will be continued this
week at Second Parish church on We'd
esday, Thursday and Friday evenings
at I. 80 o'clock. This is special arrange
ment the result of a suggestion brought
before the Portland Local Union,
which is composed of 20 Christian En-
deavor Societies. The Board of Direc-
tors Is made up of the presidents of the
societies. A committee was appointed
to confer with the ministers of all the
churches, and these special union evan
gelistic services of prayer were the re-
suit. 1t was at first suggested to do
this as the regular fall work, but it
finally was decided to commence imme-
diately.
There is at first Is minutes of song
service, then short address by one of
the clergymen, and then the meeting is
thrown open to all, led by one of the
members of the societies. The Epworth
League Joined the Local Union in this
movement. Over 400 probably are in
attendance every evening. There have
already been seven confessions.

A PROCLAMATION

Maine takes just pride in the beauty and
loveliness of her natural scenery, which
makes the state so attractive, not only to
our own people but to those seeking, within
our borders, pleasures and recreation and
the health giving breeze from our mountains
and sea.
And while nature, with lavish hand, has
bestowed grace and beauty and variety to
our landscape, yet it is in accord with the
sentiment of our people, to devote special
day, in the springtime, in adjoining and
identifying the homes, the public and
private parks, the school grounds and high
ways of the state. by planting trees and
shrubs and vines. I, therefore, set apart
Wednesday, the ninth day of May, to be

A Verdict of 1880 and Costs Against the
Forest Paper Company-A Question of
Refuse in Royal River.
In the United States Circuit court yester-
day was filed decision of the referee,
Judge Enoch Foster, in the case of the
Royal River Manufacturing company in
Yarmouth, against the Forest Paper COM
pany of the same town. The mill of the
former company is located on Royal river
below the establishment of the latter COM
pany. In the manufacture of paper con-
siderable soda ash, acid and other refuse
goes into the river. Mr.. L. L. Shaw, the
company complained that this refuse in
the water clogged up his pond, corroded his
water wheels and in other ways injured the
plant of his company. tf
The Forest Paper company is the property
of S. D. Warren & Co., of Boston, and Mr..
George W. Hammond of Yarmouth.
AS long ago as 1885, Mr.. Shaw made COM
pIaint about the defilement of the water,
and in the legislature of that winter a
special act was asked to prevent the throw
ing in of the waste. But this petition was
withdrawn, the parties agreeing to COM
promise, whereby the Forest Paper company
were to desist from the course complained
of.
But sometime last year Mr.. Shaw COM
planned that the agreement was not lived
up to, and brought suit for ten Thousand
dollar damages. The Forest Paper COM

suit, claiming that the dam of the latter's
mill had flowed the water back on to their

The Wrecked Elmiranda,

Certain statements which have APP

have been wholly correct especially in
regard to the drunkenness of the sailors

The ship had been to sea three days,
aud the sailors could not have been
drunk because they could get no liquor
unless they mutinied, and there has
been no rumor to that effect.
