The Campmeeting at Old Orchard In
creases in Interest Despite the Weather.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Old Orchard, July T7.-Despite the dull
weather the interest manifest in the con,
vention of the Interdenominationel work
ers is on the increase, and the meetings to.
day were all we'll attended. Rev. DIR.
Bates of Boston, presided at all the meet.
ings.
. At the morning service Rev. F. L.
Piper of Boston, preached, his subject be-
ing, "The Onward March, He spoke of
the progrerss of the age in all directions,
of the great advance made in the arts and
sciences, and in religious work. He
dwelt on the great achievements of the
missionaries, and belived that the ad-
vance in material things will help on
the time when the Kingdoms of this
world will be the kingdoms of Jesus
Christ. His sermon was a very earnest
and thoughtful production, and was
listened to with close attention.
At the afternoon session Rev. Charles
Munger of Old Orchard, preached, his
subject being "Christ's Own Bible 1t
was reply to the higher criticism. Mr..
Munger said that the more than 200
references made by Christ to the Old
Testament was the best possible endorse
ment of theEtruth of the more ancient
revelation, and Christ especially referred
to the very portions the critics say are
to be numbered among the myths.
Mrs. Bates Walker, a returned mission
airy to Africa, spoke of the great work
accomplished in the Dark Continent by
the missionaries who are under the
Episcopal charge of Bishop Taylor of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Much has
been accomplished, although many of the
missionaries have been called from work
to7 nd n,, tbo o+b h o,,l
menEin the field who like the venerable
bishop himself have been in Africa for
years. Her address was very interesting,
having all the charm of personal exp eri-
ence.
Rev. DR.. Hunter, the distinguished
Canadian minister, preached in the eve
ming, his sermon being along evangelical
lines, dealing with practical things in an
eloquent and convincing way DR.
Hunter will preach his last sermon here
for the season tomorrow afternoon. Miss
Emma FL. Bates led the children's meet
ings today, and Mr. William West, the
early morning meeting. The very
depressing weather has prevented many
from attending, but much has been ac-
complished and every prayer, sermon and
address has been at once practical a nd
evangelical.
1t is expected that the remaining days
OF the convention will be of uncommon
interest Rev. Dr. Bates will deliver
the closing sermon Sunday morning,
whensa large audience is looked for. The
following is the only platform of the
association: "We believe in the Bblo in
Jesus Christ the only Saviour, the Holy
Spirit. the enlightener. comforter and
sanctifier of all who will receive him.
We belivee in the Church of Christ and
desire to have it built up in holiness and
useful ness. -

again when man could get drink
whenever he wanted it. And they
Wouldn leave it to the newspapers to
make TINS known, but put up handbills
al! over the state, not promising that
Whlskey would flow in our streets like
water, but that they would license the
grog shops There are thirty-one mem
bers in our state Senate and this party
did not get one of them. They secured
only seven me1ners in the House. The
| reactlon came and it was not the kind
that the Bishop expected. do not know
that 1t was the kind that the Bishop
wanted. Now if our Bishop was here l
should talk with him like this should
say; Look here, Mr.. Bishop, when the
Maine law was passed there were thirty
five dlstilleries in Maine; now there are
none"
Gen. Dow then quoted many other of
his familiar statistics in this little tai
with the Bishop. He finally convicted
the Bishop of having, not wilfully, but
recklessly misrepresented the working OF
the law.
General Dow claimed thatYthe law was
success, and that the present failure to
entirely suppress the liquor traffic would
be over when we had q legislature that
would amend the law Gen. Dow spoke
of the continued dockets, which played
SO important part in his addresses be-
fore the legislature last winter.
At the close of his address. Mrs. Stevens
ca&ed attention to the fact that at the age
of 80 he had arisen at 4.30 this morning
and before coming to Eliot had visited
Williston church and addressed the Ohio
members of the Christian Endeavor
society.
Gen. Dow returned to Portland on the
afternoon train.
This evening Mrs Helen sCoffin Beedy
spoke upon the Mothers of Maine, y to
large and appreciative audience.
Miss Charlotte Thomas of Portland is
guest at Greenacre Inn.
The fine singing by Miss Lila Juel
added much to the interest of the meet
ing. A feature of much interest was the
presence of an old gentleman named
Lowell, who had walked five miles to see
his old friend Gen. Dow and who sang
temperance song during the exercises.

The Story of Corbett's Lapse From the
tstraight and Narrow Path Told in Court.

| New York, July 17.-The suit of Ollie
| Corbett for absolute divorce upon the
statutory grounds, from her husband,
Jas. J. Corbett, the champion heavy
weight pugilist, came up again today be-
fore Referee Jacobs. Mrs. Corbett held a
copy of Cincinnati paper Of April a.
which contained an account of her
husband having registered at hotel
there with "Mrs Corbett,' the latter be-.
ing the woman "vera. Miss Marie
King, the actress who testified in Mrs
Corbett's favor at the previous hearing.
took the witness chair She was asked
by Lawyer Hummel If she knew of any
other actions between Corbett and
"Vera" The witness said she occupied
dressing room adjoining Corbett's and
duce Vera as his wife.
3 Anything elseP" asked the lawyer.
Yes, :" was the reply. IT think we
were in Gainesville, Ohio, and at the
railroad station saw Vera with her head
on his shoulder Then he had his head
on her shoulder and his arms around
her, +" The witness then said the pair
each other. AT Corning, Ohio, Corbett
and Vera registered at the hotel as Mr..
and Mrs. Corbett
Mr.. Humme1 announced that it had
been decided not to produce the separa-
tion papers, as they contained matters
not necessary for publication He asked
that, if the referee should decide Mrs
Corbett was entitled to absolute divorce
and 800 week, the same sum as allowed
in separation papers, should be paid to
her by Corbett during the term of her
natural life. Lawyer O'Sullivan offered
no objection. Then Mr.. Hummel asked
that the hearing be adjourned until July
26, in order that he might apply for a
rowing commission to get evidence of
Corbett's improper acts in Pittsburg and
Cincinnati. The referee accordingly ad-
journed the case to that date

1taly's Policy Toward the Vatican.

Rome, July 1.-THE Senate by con
siderable majority today. approved the bill
making September %, the anniversary
of the surrender Of their arms and evacu-
alton of Rome by the Papal toops in 1870,
a national fete day. In the course of the
debate on the measure Premier Crispi
said the bill was important as declara-
ton of Italy's policy toward the Vatican.
The government he said, desired neither
a concordat nor combat. They would
faithfully observe the law of guarantees
to the Pope as the head Of religion that
had greater freedom in Italy than in
France or Austria. The Pope had
triumphed in the Kulturkampf in Ger
many because Italy put him into an un-
assailable position, whereupon Prince
Bismarck, then the Chancellor of the
German Empire, had said to him
(CrispD: "You have wrapped him up in
cotton SO nobody can attack him. :"
Signor Crispi concluded by saying that it
was through liberty that peace between
the state and the church must be realized.
The Premier's speech was received with
cheers.

ACCIDENTS IN THE FOG.
The Forest City Ran Down Sail Boat and
the Elizabeth City Sank Row Boat.s

The fog was heavy on the water last
evening, and it was impossible to distin-
guish objects few feet away. Navigation
was dangerous and the steamers crept
along footing away vigorously. On her
late trip the Forest City was nearing the
city when she suddenly crashed into a
sailboat that came out of the fog, and
that could neither be seen or heard until
under the bow. The boat was crushed
badly, but the tw o men who were in her
were taken on board.
The ferry boat Elizabeth City also had
hard luck as she started out Of her slip
and ran down row boat in which an
inebriated individual was placidly float
ing about the harbor. He also was saved
little the worse for the experience
