FEXT: "ELECTRIC ROADS.v
A Unique Thanksgiving Day Sermon
at GOrham.

Residents of the Pretty Village Determined
inTheir Stand-A Large Audience and
Much Interest in the Subject.
There was an unusual scene attending
the union Thanksgiving day service of
the Congregational churches in Gorham
yesterday forenoon
AS is we'll known the people of the
town have, for the past year or more
have been most anxious to secure the ex-
tension of the electric railroad line from,
Westbrook, and as is also we'll known
the board or railroad commissioners re.
Gently met and said that it would be
inexpedlenb to accede to these wishes.
An Indignation meeting was held in the
town hall last Saturday.
The community have not yet lost any
of their i'll feeling as was developed in
the regular church service of Sunday
when Rev. George W. Reynolds, the
eloquent pastor of the Congregational
parish announced that the THANKSGIVING
service should take place and he should
preach on the topic that was now of the
moro interest to his flock than any
other.
he had decided to take as his text
Electric Roads, The announcement
was well received by the congregation
and quickly spread to all sections of the
town SO that yesterday morning the big
edifioe was crowded.
Mr.. Reynolds was finely prepared and
gave an interesting resume of the excite.
ment incident to the agitation for the
street car enterprise.
Hye prefaced his remarks by referring to
the old Puritan custom on days of
Tha nksgiying to preach on any timely
question instead of delivering a regular
sermon.
Then the learned divine proceeded to
the point at issue, and for nearly an
hour held the undivided attention Of his
large congregation. He criticized in
rather severe manner the decision
of the board of commissioners, and said
that it was an insult for these authori-
ties to declare that Gorham was a small
and insignificant community and did
not need an electric road. 'Why, we
have the most beautiful village in Cum
berland county" stated the clergyman
land we demand no more than any
other of the suburban towns similarly
located when we ask for this road. ''The
remarks stirred the auditors. who
even in their enthusiasm accorded
round after round of applause to this
sentiment Immediately at the conclusion
of the address, Stephen Hinkley, ESQ.,,
one Of the most prominent men in tine
town, and who has been it's treasurer
for more than the past dozen years, step
ped to the front. Mr. Hinkley SAID thai
he felt that as member Of the com
mittee to who had tried to secure the
road, Mr.. Reynolds's remarks had voiced
the sentiment Of the community. He
| would move that the address be printed
| in full and circulated at large. To the
motion there was a rising vote of thanks
every man, woman and child expires sec
their vote in this manner. Yesterday s
church service has been by far the mos
| lively held in that section for years and
| has created great deal of interest.
Gorham people, it seems, will not res

LlQUEFlED HONEY.
The Flavor of Candied Honey That Has
Been Liquefied by Heat.

Geen AA4uCuOu ny 16dts
The following query was answered
not long ago though the columns of The
American Bee Journal: "After candied
honey has been liquefied by heat, is it
inferior to its former quality" This
query elected % replies. Four of these
was a plain "no' without any qualifi
cations. Two answers were to the effect
that the quality is %a1ured somewhat by
heating. The majority seemed to think
that if the liquefaction is carefully done
at the lowest possible temperature it does
not affect the quality of the honey.
Will Barnum said, 81 have never de-
tected any difference in the quality, but
it is quite probable that too much heat
would be detrimental. J. M. Jenkins
replied "No, unless overheated. 1t is
not necessary to cook or boil it to liquefy
honey, and care should be taken to use
only enough heat (hot water) to attain
the desired result" G. Fl. Dibbern said,
ST think not, unless the heat is up to
about the boiling point. J. M. Fam
baugh's answer was, "No, not neces-
sarily. The flavor is often injured by
allowing it to become too hot. F"
G. W. Demaree wrote: "The honey
will not be injured if melted under
glass by the heat Of the sun. Put
your candied honey in small, bright tin
buckets Set them in shallow box,
covered with glass (like solar wax ex-
traotor), put the lids loosely on the
buckets. In this way you may melt 100
OR more pounds each clear day, and the
delicious odor of new honey will appar-
emily be restored I use my solar wax
extractor to melt candied honey, and it
does the work we'll. "
Allen Pringle expresses the opinion
that honey is at it's best few days after
being extracted, when it is fully ripe.
No matter how ripe the honey is when
extracted, he thinks the taste is i'm
proved somewhat by allowing it to
stand exposed in a warm, dry place for
short time. 1t loses the pungency to
some extent, without deteriorating in
flavor. con the contrary, when candied
honey is liquefed, it should not be left
exposed at all, but sealed up tight at
once while it is hot. The exposure in
the one case improves it, while in the
other it deteriorates it. If the, honey
has been properly handled from the
start, and is liquefied right and put up
at once, as above, it will be nearly as
good as ever, but not quite. The flavor
may be about as good, but that fragrant
aroma is partially lost.

More Potash Needed.

No doubt it is true that potash is the
great need of soils where tobacco culture
has been the main crop for years. The
stone fruits, especially the peach, seem
to derive the greatest benefit from it's
USE This is especially true when the
orchard is on sandy land. Potash in the
form of hard wood, fresh ashes or lib
eral application Of kainit or other pot
ash salts aids materially in keeping the
trees in such a healthy condition that
they are undoubtedly less liable to be at
tackled by the yellows, sor other diseases
of a similar character, says American
Agriculturist.

Westbroolx, "a; Sanford, 4.
The Westbrook football team closed the
season with brilliant game and a
decided victory to their credit Thursday
afternoon at Warren Park. The opposing
team was the Sanford Athletic football
eleven. They put up very creditable
game, but the Westbrooks out-played
them, as the score indicates-W estbrooks,
"a; Sanfords, 4. There were about four
hundred spectators present and that they
were pleased with the game was mani
tested by frequent outbursts of en-
thusiasm. The first half was little one
sided, but nevertheless was very enter
tanning. Both teams played with great
vim. The Westbrooks gained their points
by smart sprinting and by furnishing the
runner with good interference. The
Westbrooks made seven touchdowns and
three goals in the first half. In the
second half there was great playing. The
Santords made a desperate attempt to
even the score. but were able to make
only one touchdown. The Westbrooks
failed to score a point. There were
several interchanges of the ball and some
good punus. No bad temper was shown
but that it was not gentle game was
manifested by frequent calls for time to
administer to the injured. Left Guard
Blackwood was obliged to leave the field
near the close of the last half on account
OF injuries. The line up is as follows:

HOW THE GAME WAS PLAYED.

Portland. g.: Thornton, 0, was the score
of yesterdays football game on the Deer
ing grounds The 400 Saco rooters and
their ''little tin horn'' and their "nigger
mascot" were bitterly disappointed. So
were we. Not at the game, but at Port
lands misfortune. 1t was nothing but
hard luck, which prevented score IN the
first half Considering the condition of
the Portland team they played the best
game they have put up this season. There
was more snap and less wrangling than
usual, but there is still room for improve
ment along the line Of each
The day was fine, but the ground
very muddy. The attendance was
the largest of Ethe season, fully
2, 500 being present and better be-
haved crowd it would be hard to
assemble. Not person (save subs, re-
porters and officials) were inside the ropes
during the play. We congratulate the
Portland management upon the attend
ance and the provisions made for it.
The game itself was highly interesting.
Thornton, while outclassed, made big
fight Her style of play was very old and
Portland soon had it sized up. Portland
should have scored at least once more. IF
the boys would ouly learn to keep on side
and not hold. it would be to their adj
vantage.

PALMER IS PESSIMlSTIC.
The Senator's Son Thinks Illinois Democracy
 Is Going to the BoW-WoW.

Chicago, April 2S.-John Mayo Palmer, a son of United States Senator Palmer and member of the executive com.nlttee of the Honest Money league, returned yesterday from Springfield. He is in clined to the belief that the democrats of the state have nearly all fioclSed into the 16 to 1 free silver populist camp Speaking of the silver sentiment through out Illinois MT. Palmer said:
 'The sentiment in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without international conference or agreement seems .O haN . taken complete possession of the democ- racy of Illinois outside of Cook county. conferred with men of all shades of opin- ion upon this subject, with republicans as well as democrats. l talked with re- more of the game than the players. l met old friends with whom l could talk confdentially, and got the impression that while there is very strong and re- spectable sentiment throughout the, state in opposition to this currency theory, yet the opponents of 16 to 1 are without or ganization, apparently without any ann bition to succeed, and are singularly silent, while the silver men are vigorous, active and aggressive.
 "There has been a great deal of un- necessary political criticism and contro- NeISy ONcT lulS SuuJeCl, WHICH iS very dPl to be deplored There will be good deal of talk about reading men out of the party The immediate effect of the ex- pected declaration will be to disorganiZe the democratic party in this state, if such thing is possible. The ultimate eff feet. should the currency question be the prominent one of 1896, will be the res organization of both parties on new lines. Those who, like myself, may be called conservatives have faint hope that we may be able to induce the June conven- tfon to declare that it is inexpedient to draw party lines upon the silver ques- tion; but l confess I have no very great confidence that we will be able to secure this"
 Mir Palmer believes that the only way to overcome the existing free silver craze is by conducting campaign of education upon the lines proposed by the honest money league
