any. He is much nearer 10 us histori-
cally than any Of the other chiefs, and

What do we understand to be the six
days Of the creation, six literal days Or
periods Of time. and if periods Of time,
could we reckon the Sabbath day the
same?
The majority of Bible readers take the
"six days Of creation" literally, and look
on them as actually the six week days
of our present week considering the sew
enth day as the actual day OF rest. But
modern critics OF the Bible consider that
the week OF seven days is older than the
idea of the six days of creation. They
point out among other things, that there
are two accounts Of the creation in Gene
sis: the first in Chapter l. and Chapter
IL. verses TO 3; the second, which they
say is really older, in Chapter III verses 4
to I. These students would make the
days" of Genesis !, mean really indcn-
mite periods Of time. The seven-day week
was not peculiar to The Jews. they say.
snd comparatively late in Jewish history
did the Jews correct the existing week
(Which in its origin was dependent upon
the moons changes). with The seven pc
riods of creation.

Conquest OF ireland.

How was ireland comprehension and
by whom?
Ireland was conquered by Henry H.. OF
England and by William III. The Anglo
Norman conquest dates from in 1l55 \. D.,
when Pope Adrian ", being an English
man, gave TO Henry H.. the right 20 annex
the island on payment Of one penny each
year for each house. The actual conquest
began, so far as preparation goes, IN
li56. when Dermod MacMurrOugh, dcpOs-
ed king OF Leinster. asked Henry TO help
him regain his throne. Henry was busy
in France. but authorized Dermod 10 raise
forces In England The invasion did not
take place for thirteen years; in ilo9 Der
mods first troops landed. and on August
q. ITO, Stronghow Carl Richard de
Clare, landed near Waterford. ON Oc-
tober Is. HIP. Henry ii. himself landed
near Waterford and reccivel the homasc
of the Norman mobiles and the Irish kings
and OF the IRISH church. He compelled
the chuch 10 accept the Pope more fully
than ever before. and returned 10 Eng
land, TO make his son John. Lord OF Ire
land. In 1851, William III. Is said TO have
conquered Ireland when the treaty OF
Limerick was made, after the deleat OF
James H., at the battle Of the Boyne, and
the thirteen-months siege OF that city.

BREA KING RUINS POWER.
James Dunn Gives Some Valuable Hints
About Practical Temperance.

Last evening large and most re-
spectacle audience gathered in City Hall
to listen to most eloquent and able
lecture by James Dunn, Esq, of Massa-
chusetts, on practical Temperance as
Demonstrated by the Kelley Institute at
Deering, Maine.' Mr.. Dunn began by
saying that he should come as near as
possible to talking common sense. The
olergymSn tell us that II we obtain the
Grace of God we can battle with any vice.
But the man afflicted by intemperance is
in a diseased condition as to his body.
That disease must be cured before the
afflicted person can be brought into a
normal condition, where he may be made
susceptible to good and elevating in
duences. The Kelley cure is certain
and efficacious remedy. Every man who
takes the cure properly, finds the love OF
alcohol removed. If he ever drinks again
il is because he has wilfully klndled the
fires. DR.. Talmadge says that the Kelley
cure has the approval Of God Almighty.
Men who belong to the church have
fallen; but that is moth ing against the
church. 1t is nothing against the Kelley
cure that some who have taken it have
relapsed.
Certain portions of the lecture, descrip-
tive of the fall of prominent physicians
and lawyers, the great minds of their
times, visibiy affected the audience.
Other very impressive portions of the adj
dress held the audience spell bound.
Passing to the moro practical but no
less interesting phase of his subject, the
lecturer described the workings of the
perfect Kelley Institute. There are man y
"fake" cures in the country, but the real
Kelley Institute at Deering, uses the
methods of the renowned DR.. Kelley an d
has the successes which have made his
name immortal.
The orator himself was splendid ex-
ample of the power Of the doctrine whioh
he preached. 1t was as mental and
physical wrec& that he entered the doors
of the Kelley Institute, to come out re-
stored and infused with new life.
The music, delightful feature Of the
entertainment was furnished by

A BASEBALL TROPHY.
Generous Offer by Portland Admirer of
the Game.

Mr.. S. H. Sleeper of the Stevens Silver
company in order to insure the playing of
a Maine State series in the future, has
decided on behalf Of the Stevens Silver
company to give beautiful silver cup,
to be contested for by the Maine clubs of
the New England League, for the cham
pionship of Maine, in consideration of
the fact that the Portland club have full
filed all the requirements of the agree
ment entered into by the Maine clubs at
the Augusta meeting, at which meeting
Sll~the Maine clubs were represented and
agreed to take part in said series. and
having started the series at Augusta and
having: at all times, as they do at present
stand ready to play all Maine clubs for
the state championship, and having won
the only game played in the series Mr..
6lepeer thinks the Portland club are en-
titled to some recognition for the pluck
they have displayed at all times during
the series. He therefore decided to present
the Portland club with the handsome cup
mentioned, and trusts as do all lovers OF
the game in Portland, thai the local club
will succeed in retaining the cup in Port
land next season also.
The cup will be suitably engraved and
placed on exhibition in few days, and
win be presented to the Portland base
ball association on Saturday afternoon,
September 14th, at the Deering grounds,
previous to the benefit game between
Portland and the Murphy Balsams.
Mr. Sleeper is willing that the rules Of
the Augusta conference shall govern the
CUP series, and the club that wins it
three years in succession shall be entitled
to retain, it permanently. The cup is a
beautiful piece Of work and stands fifteen
