our tenure of the future.

NIOdesty.

Modesty seems to be the least popular
of the virtues. Years ago Bulwer Lytton
wrote charming little story of the Nir-
tues starting out on "a pilgrimage with the
aim of finding home. Each Virtue had
o hard time but not one OF them met with
such serious experiences as poor Modesty.
Modcsty travelled the length and breadth
of London, vainly seeking refuge. No one
had ever heard of Modesty. The allegory
applies at present The tidal wave of real
ism has made rough sailing for modesty.
In literature, in the drama, in life itself
civilized life, metropolitan life-modesty
has no home. Society, the Turkish bath
and the scashore arc the three agents most
vigorous in exterminating the divine vir-
tue. Each in turn administers an earth
quake shock to modcsty as it dwells with
in the nature of woman. The temple OF
modcsty RECEIVERS from one or two earth
quake shocks and after that as n dwelling
it is nonhabitablc, and modesty moves
out. l am looking for reform movement
in this direction. Where is the national
Christian league that works pcrsistently
in the interest of purity, and where is the
pinkertonian Comstock that the living
pictures of the scashore disturb not his
dreams? Human charms of a material or
der are much in vogue these days. Per
haps it's all right; but, alas, poor modesty!

NEW AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
will Endcavor Another Year 10 Find Patrons
For It's Ball Games.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18.-There will be
another big base ball league bidding for
public patronage, next summer. A meet
ing of men interested in the new associa-
ton was held here today, and the prelim-
mary work of the organization was COM
pleted. The cities represented were: New
York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Washington,
Chicago, Pittsburg, Milwaukee.
After full discussion circuit was COM
prised Of the cities represented. Applica-
tions for membership were received from
Buffalo, Detroit, St. Louis, Cincinnati,
Providence and Columbus. They were
referred to the committee pending the

falo. 1t was decided to name the new
organization the American Association of
Base Ball Clubs. The constitution
limits the membership to eight cities,
and fixes the term of membership in the
association at 10 years, regulates the con-
tract and control Of players and prescribes
rules for championship. General admission
was fixed at 25 cents and permission to play
Sunday games accorded. Buying and sell
ing of ball players releases was prohibited.
1t was agreed there should be no fight with
the national league if the association could
avoid it, 1t was decided to respect all con-
tracts and play non-conflicting schedule.
Officers are to be elected tomorrow.

Odor5 and Perfumes.

The aroma of red cedar is said to be
fatal to house moths. The aroma of black
walnut leaves is fatal to fleas. 1t is mat
ter of common observation that persons
engaged in the business Of making shin
giles out of odoriferous cypress timber in
malarial districts are rarely if ever affected
by malarial diseases, and that persons en-
gagged in distilling turpentine do not suf-
fer from either malarial diseases or con-
sumption. 1t is said that when cholera
was epidemic in Memphis persons work
ing in livery stables were entirely exempt
from it. 1t Is affirmed that since the de-
struction of the Glove trees on the island of
Ternate the colony has suffered from cpl
denies unknown before, and in times
when cholera has prevailed in London and
Paris those employed in the perfumery
factories have escaped its ravages.-Phila-

At Kent's Hill and Special Features Of tho
Very Interesting Exercises.

On Wednesday afternoon occurred the
dedicatory exercises of the new Music hall
at the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, followed
by a reception in the evening, rendered to
the visiting friends by the faculty and
members of the school. 1t was an ideal
Kents Hill day; the surrounding hills ana
lakes never looked more beautiful and
seemed to rs-echo and mirror back the
strains of music and of song, which were
the predominating features of the day. by
noon most of the trustees and friends had
arrived, and after enjoying the good, sub
stantisl dinner retired to music hall, where
the following programme was most success
fully carried out

In the evening a reception was held, and
the visiting friends were ushered into the
various rooms where they had the pleasure
of meeting the faculty and trustees OF the
school. A short musical programme was
then rendered, which consisted Of the fol-
lowing numbers:

At the close of this concert refreshments
were served in the gymnasium below, after
which the company dispersed, feeling that
another milestone in the history OF the
school had been successfully passed and
most ENJOYABLE and pleasant stay expert
enced by all.
A great deal of credit is due Prof. Morse
for the excellent and finished manner in
which the musical programme was carried
out, and the general management OF the
exercises of the day which were largely un-
der his supervision. The piano selections
by Mrs. Morse and Mr.. Conant were much
enioyed by all, and executed in such man
ner as to do credit to the magnificent con-
cert grand piano, made by the celebrated
Henry F. Miller, which the institution has
Just purchased. The rendering of the
violin solo by Miss Morse was but repeti-
ton of her former work along this line,
proving that she has full command of her
instrument. The Grafton by Rev. Roscoe
L. Greene, D. D., was one one Of the finest
ever delivered at this place OF any occa-
sion, and the students of the Maine Wes-
leyan Seminary will look forward with
pleasure to the possibility of enjoying
another address from such talented and
interesting speaker as he.
Altogether the event will be remembered
as one Of pleasure, of profit, and general
advancement in the welfare and prosperity
of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Fe-
male College. WALTER LEE STEVENS.

An Arctic Summer.

During the summer months the temper
ature usually ranges from 80 to SO degrees,
and on some days the heat is such that
one might be pardoned for believing that
the burning rays shining down upon the
traveller are those of a tropical sun. The
valleys are carpeted with a mantle of
green, the grass in many places growing
knee high, while dandelions, poppies, saxi-
frage and other wild flowers are found in
profusion, and the air is full of insect life.
Marine birds and garishly colored butter
flies dart hither and thither, while the less
pleasing mosquito amply demonstrates
that arctic existence does not impair its
fiendish persistency or rapacious appetite.
The upper air resounds with the confused
voices of the feathcrcd tribe, which range
from the quick twitter of the swallow to
the hoarse "quonck, quonck" of the cider
duck. Snow is only visible on high eleva-
tions Indeed there are "the brawling
brook" or "babbling brook" if you
please, the leaping mountain torrent and
all the other accessories prescribed by poets
and artists to complete beautiful pano-
rama. The picture is more striking on ac-
count of it's bold contrasts. Forbidding
black cliffs and lofty, rock ribbed noun
tains rear their stately heads far above the
verdant valleys, while beyond the green
sea is softly carcssing some tall lccbergs
that are glistcning in the sun like fantas
tic fairy palaces.
To-Day we travel to Bermuda or across
the ocean to Switzerland in search OF
health or pleasure. Why not to Green
land? 1t may be rash prediction, but
feel confident that before many years have
not popular summer resort.-Aome and
