TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
Rev. Father Doyle Of New York Will Speak
This Evening. at ST. Mary's Church.

| What promises TO he one of the most
instructive and interesting temperance
lectures which has in some time been given
in Augusta, will be delivered, Friday even
| ing, at St. Mary Catholic church, at Z. 80
New York
| Rev. Father Doyle is preacher and
| lecturer of world wide reputation and has
been engaged in the temperance cause for
IA series of years. He is the national sacre-
| tary of the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of America, and, as such, has con
tinued to carry en- good work among the
young men OF America.
In his report before the National Society
at the silver jubilee gathering in New
York, this year. he said: II insist that,
from his office (the national secretary s),
must come the motive power that would
move our organization along the lines of
truest progress, that his work is very much
akin to the heart in the human system
If the heart beat is strong, the blood is
sent through the arteries, even to the ex-
tremities, with force that will conduce
to the best health of the body 1t will
manifest itself in the bounding pulse the
bright, sparkling eye, the glow on the
cheek, the vigor of limb and other con-
comitant signs of strong vital energies,
the ultimate result of which will be the
development of strength and daily growth.
Such is his idea of the requirements of
the office to which he was the second and
third time elected, and has thrown his
whole being into the work of the society,
body, soul and brain and the remarkable
growth of the organization in America is
the result in a large degree Of the work
he has done
Yet he does not take the credit To him
self, for he believes that any other good
man might have done it. He is humble
when it comes to speaking Of himself.
He believes in the establishment of lecture

ancc literature and in the general educa-
ton Of the people up to the standard of
Christian temperance. He is reported as
having said, But where is the man, hate
ing drunkenness as it deserves to be hated
who does not know that the saloon is the
drunkard factory" And this quotation
we'll shows his opinion of the saloon.
Physically, Father Doyle is a fine speci-
men Of manhood. He is well educated,
and those who have heard him pronounce
him man especially adapted for temper
ancc speaking. He is forcble and tangible,
and is endowed with great personal magnc-
tism
This week, Father Doyle has spoken at
Portland, Bangor, Lewiston and West
brook Al all places he has been received
with large and enthusiastic attendanoes,
and his appearance in Augusta Friday
evening, will he welcomed

Did You ever see q geode, the ugly,
creamy, yellow, rounded rock, which,
upon being broken open. presents =
perfect wilderness of diamond-like
crystals? They are oddities of the
oldest kind, and are not too plentiful
anywhere. The word ''geode" means
''earthform," and is applied to all hol-
low stones which are flied with crys-
talized matter. When broken open
some are found to be fuA of pure-lOok-
ing, clear water. Others appear to be
full of yellow or brown paint, while q
third class are filled with what ap-
pears to be very fair quality OF tar.
No odds whatithe filing of the cavity
may be composed of, the sides are al
ways studded with crystals. Should
the filing be yellow, the crystals are
likly to be OF the same color, but by
far the greater portion Of them are as
clear as ice or diamonds.-StL Louis

FIGHTING A COON
Surprising Experience OF a Green
German Farm Hand.
He Thought he Saw Pretty Striped Cat
But Struck . veritable Cyclone In
stead - Rescued After
Thorough Defeat.

Herman Ozzerro, q German farm
hand of Phelps. N. Y, is going about
| swathed in bandages in consequence Of
| his battle with a coon. he has been in
this country but short time. Soon after
his arrival he engaged to work on Mr..
Birtley's farm. For several days he
was sent out with another man so that
he might learn the use Of American
tools and the method of doing the
work. Finally, one day he went to
work alone in cornfeld.
In the middle of the field was largo
maple tree, and, as the day was hot, he
sat down under the tree to rest. Hear
ing a noise among the branches he
looked up. There sat the largest and
most beautiful striped cat he had ever
seen. 1t was such a pretty fellow,
with such handsome rings around its
long tail, that he at once concluded
that it was pet belonging to Mr..
Birtley, and that it had run away from
the house. Eager to do something to
please his new employer, he pulled of
his shoes and began climbing the tree.
When half way up he turned his gaze
toward the animal. There he sat, with
its strange. pretty eyes looking steadi-
" at him. Ozzero noticed that its tail
WAS beating the limb, on which it was
crouchipg, with a quick, nervous mo-
ton. but he didn't think that meant
anything.
Finally, after great deal Of labor,
Ozzero reached large branch, where,
by putting out his hand. he could
touch the pretty animal. Fixing him
self in good position, he reached out
for it, but drew his hand back in a
hurry, terribly lacerated by the sharp
teeth of the animal. Ozzero DOW felt
some concern, especially as he noticed
that the creatures eyes were blazing
like two balls of fire. He began to
think that it was no pet, but a savage
beast full of fight, and with evident
ability to take care of itself. Not wish
ing to draw back, he struck it terrific
blow in the face with his fist. Then
followed savage .growl, and the next
instant the beast sprang upon him,
landing full upon his breast. In re-
markably short space Of time, though
