LECTURE ON THE NAVY.

Byron Williams OF New York ap-
peared in our Y. M. c. A. course last
Friday evening and gave an illustra-
ted lecture on the new navy. The
views were the most interesting fea-
ture of his lecture and gave an excel
lent idea OF the big battleships and
protected cruisers of the American
navy. Views were also thrown upon
the screen showing the big guns and
parts of the warships, as well as pic
lures of the naval hospital and the
shipyards Of the famous Cramps at
Philadelphia. The lecture itself was
quite disappointment. Every au-
thor from Shakespeare down to our
own Holmes was freely quoted. but
very few facts were given on the sub
ject that the audience came to learn
about. To add to the discomfort Of
the audience the hall was so cold that
many left during the speakers lofty
fights of oratory.

home is accomplishing in rescuing
boys from the evil influences of the
cities, educating them and teaching
them some trade. There are eight
boys now in the home which has ac-
commodations for 25. The latter
number will be taken as soon as the
contributions warrant it. Mr.. Pitts
gave severalincidents connected with
the lives of the boys at the home,
which clearly showed that this is one
of the institutions of Vermont in
which all should take a personal in
terest. He will spend the winter
travelling through the state telling
the people about Kurn Hattin Home
and has already aroused much inter-
est in the home.
Miss Helen S. Graves has been en-
gagged to sing in the North church
choir and will begin next Sunday.

able a just this time. These secrets
including supper may be obtained by
paving ten cents at the door.
