(SDeclal 60 Gne ERESS,
Fryeburg, July 31.-Those who visit
this lovely spot where the Cnautauouans
are revealing in a cool, refreshing at
mosphere, are charmed with its beauty.
Accessible retirement is, as rule, not
easy to be had, but here, not two hours
ride from the seaboard, and largest city
in Maine, six hours from Boston, one
can have cosey quarters from which to
sally forth to recreation of mind and
body. To Chatauquans fell the happy
task of com bining outdoor air with
scholarly attainment. The daysperfect,
cool and invigorating, and the journey
here makes one believe they are living on
that "good worldn which they were told
about lecture few days ago. The
mineralogy class, numbering some TWEEN
ty, have gone with MIR. Fobes, their
teac her, on an exploring excursion to
Cold River.
Rev. Mr.. Lindsay has gone to Portland
to accompany his Young Peoples Socie-
ty on an excursion to the islands.
In the primary work, nnder the sub
ject, "The Teacher; his opportunity"
Mr.. Morgan spoke at length.
This afternoon, James Clement Am
brose lectured on "Tom and Jerry" to
a large and interested audience. He
said: "ThesdrInk habit is evil, and not
good for any man. Hence the drink
Cratic is evil and not good for any ma
tion. Hence again, to stop the habit
by stopping the traffic is not evil, but
good for both man and nation. Sober
millions belive with Wesley that liquor
dealers drive the people to hell like
sheep, yet vote to keep them driving
sheep. Moral suasion never will stop
the traffic. You say God hears prayer.
Yes, in it's working clothes, doing it's
best to answer itself. The people are
spending SIS in the saloon to one in the
public school; S163 for gin to one for the
gospel. Is not a boy worth more to his
state than horse? If so, the state is
and boy stealing lawful trade. Some
good people keep on saying that prohi-
bition will not protect the boy, for it
DON'T prohibit. 10 see such / reply:
When you find any law of God or man
that has no breakers, then and not till
then, demand perfection of prohibition
Severely at its worst it prohibits better
Kansas, and (till now Iowa, not one
liquor factory. Their trouble scomes of
the license states that border them. So
poultice the whole country with Maine
law and the blot of unlawful sales
will disappear in every part of the I'm
ion.
In the evening, the lecture by Rev.
yellowstone and Yosemite,n consisted
of word paintings and descriptions
of those wonderful features of our mar
vellous western country. We elm bed
Pixies Peak, we ga zedsuponsthe wonders

and Bridal Veil Falls were the,sspecial
features dwelt upon 1t is DR.. Wilson'S
purpose to deliver descriptive lecture

powers. tee
