1t has been suggested that the
Business Mems association hold a
special meeting for the purpose of TAX
ing the house problem under consider
alton. There seems to have been no
movement made yet to prepare for the
coming of the Sterling bicycle people
and the Sieg & Walpole people. They
must have houses. The matter is
growing more urgent every moment,
and something must be done. Will
the association take hand?
The yacht Mamie returned to this
port Sunday. The cruise of Capt. Kim
ball has been an entirely satisfactory
one. The party which went on her
consisted of Capt. j. FL. Kimball, Dr.
George Kimball, Roger Kimball and a
cook. They started out of port July Is
and returned in exactly one month.
They had splendid sailing all the way,
with the exception Of two slight storms.
Their trip took them over 700 miles.
The best time made was $50 miles in
thirty hours, an average of six miles
an hour.
An exchange tells good story of
father and mother who were trying
to find names for their twin girl babies.
1t was decided that papa should name
them. After vainly casting about for
names that exactly suited him he de-
eided to end the strain on his mind and
namod them Kate and Duplicate. In
the course of time another pair came
and they were boys. This was his
opportunity to get even and he told his
wife 60 christen the boys. Imagine his
feelings when she dubbed them Pete
and Repeat. But when the third pair
came he grew frightened and named
them Max and Climax.

John W. Hayes is enjoying himself
among the hills of his earlier days in
Maine. 1t seems he has been lecturing
in North Berwick, and the following
clipped from the Journal Of that place,
speaks for itself. The paper is dated
Aug. Is. The clipping is as follows:
"The temperance lecture by John
W. Hayes, Esq, last Friday evening in
the Baptist church was listened to by
a good audience, and was pronounced
one of the best, if not the best, ever
given in this village. AS literary
production it was of a high order.
being purely elegant in diction and
comprehensive in manner. Mr.. Hayes
treated his subject morally, physically,
socially and politically, skillfully COW
ering the ground, with the entire ab-
sence of the low trend of funny anec-
dotes, and bloody saloon fights that so
generally makes up the so-called tenn
perance lecture. With the bible as
basis, it was truly evangelical in every
point of doctrine, and might we'll take
the place of a gospel sermon, on the
Sabbath, in any pulpit Those who
did not attend missed good thing.
1t is hoped that fruits somewhat re-
munative will result from the generous
effort of Mr.. Hayes"
