PATRIOTIC SERMON.

Rev. A. l. Davis preached a patri-
Otto sermon at the Free Baptist
church last Sunday to a large and
interested audience. His text was
the first clause of the twentieth verse
of Psalm 147, ''He hath not dealt so
with any nation" and his theme
was "America's privileges and per-
lis" He only touched on three per-
lis, immigration, gambling and
wealth. He was thoroughly in fav-
or of restricted immigration and
spoke of the influence of our foreign
element upon the social, political and
religious life of the United States
The lumber of foreign-born residents
in the United States is Is, 100000 and
their children increase this number
100000 more. Among the evils of
gambling he referred especially to
the race track gambling, which
amounts to $2OO,OOO,OOO every
year. He believed this was increas-
ing as the literature had increased so
much. Ten years ago there were
only four monthly papers devoted to
the race track, now there are 40
papers, including many dailies. And
all the prominent daily papers give
large space to the pool selling of the
race track. In closing Mr.. Davis
spoke of the evils of concentrated
wealth, the dangerous influence Of
trusts and monopolies and the TACT
that so much of our wealth is in the
hands of so few Individuals
Mr.. Davis announced that the sub
ject of his sermon next Sunday
morning would be "Romanism."

THE SOUTHWICKS.

Prof aud Mrs South wick of the
Emerson School of Oratory gave an
instructive as we'll as pleasing enter
tainment in Music Hall last Friday
evening. Aside from the Academy
students, for whose instruction the
Southwicks were primarily engaged,
there was not a large attendance.
Prof. Southwick spoke for about an
hour upon the theme, 1.-The New
Gospel in Oratory." His idea was
that person that could speak we'll
was not an orator unless he had the
spirit of oratory in his soul. Oratory
is profession and the most success
full orator had to have long training
and be physically and even spiritual
ly qualified for his life-work.
Mrs. Southwick is such a general

n. H., and Miss Florence E. Pringle
were married at the residence Of the
brides parents on Thursday even
ing last, by Rev. P. B. Fisk. The
ceremony took place in the presence
of a house full of relatives and neigh

usual refreshments the happy couple
departed on their wedding trip, in

Charles D. Jones died very sudden
" on Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Jones
has been in feeble health for several
months, but has been able to attend
to his business until within about
six weeks. His physicians an
nounced the malady Bright's disease,
but his friends, realizing the disease
to be incurable, still had hopes that
he might get stronger and perhaps
live for years; so the sudden end was
a great shock. Mr.. Jones will be
much missed in this place. He own
ed the grist mill and was a very
popular business man. He leaves a
wife, who has the sympathy of
many friends.

USEFUL AND VALUABLE.

Some time ago the CALIFORNIAN de-
scribed in a general way very val
liable invention patented by A. L.
Bailey-namely, hose fastener. We
have now to chronicle his securing
letters on another useful, and fully as
valuable, device-a hose coupler. In
this, as in the other invention, sim
plicity of construction and action are
the prominent features, and every
body who has seen the new coupler
pronounces it a fine thing. Mr..
Bailey has spent some three years in
perfecting the coupler. and has been
obliged to reconstruct it several
wholly original. He has used his
leisure time to excellent purpose, and
we shall lose our guess if the hose
using public does not take readily to
this great improvement over old
methods of coupling. Our readers
will not be interested in a technical
description of the coupler. 1t is
made up in two sections, one being a
duplicate of the other, and the prin-
ciple upon which it is based is very
simple but effective. There is nopos-
sibility of mistake in getting the sec
tions together; connection can be
made in an instant, and one slight
turn makes the coupler air, water
and steam tight. The device is
equally applicable to air brake
hose on railroads, to fire or gar
den hose-in fact, to hose wher-
ever used; and the rapidity with
which the coupling can be made will
be recognized as a valuable feature
This coupler, together with the tas-
tener patented in March last, makes
hose equipment which fills the bill
in every particular.
Mr.. Bailey has evidently struck a
big thing. and his friends will con-
graduate him. He has received many
letters of inquiry concerning these
patents from all parts of the country.
