closest SCORE rolled up by the Red and
Blue In its victories over the Crimson.
The clossness of the score hardly repre-

teams. Harvard scored it's six points on
a touchdown and goal in the first half
and Pennsylvania made it's eight in the
second half from safety touchdown,
a touchdown and goal. In this hal +
Pennsylvania outplayed Harvard from
the start to finish. Behind each one Of
the chalk lines, which marked their Sec

second half, made desperate and de-
spairing stand, but pennsylvania was
playing with fury that swept the Grim
son rush line away and foot BY foot the
Red and blue bored Its steady way to-
wards Hnrvards goal. The physical oon-
diJion of the men of the two teams was
most marked.

"THE HEATHEN CHINEE."
Rev. Mr. LeLacheur's Last Lecture ON Ii
lungs Countrymen.

The third and last lecture in the series
given by the Rev. D. W. LeLacheur at
the Vaughn street church was given last
evening. A large congregation was
present and the speak or held the interest
of his hearers to the close. The speaker
began by calling attention to the needs
of mission work and said that there
should be no suoh thing as home and
foreign missions but that they should be
combined into one and known az the
mission board.
The speaker then began on the lecture
AMI related the remarkable conversion of
number of the medical students that
are now doing valiant service in the
mission fields of northern China.
These young men cannot devote their
whole time to the mission work rs in
most instances these medical students are
bound to the government for term of
five years and are not expected to devote
much time to outside work.
The speaker then went on to relate the
various modes of travel and to describe
the oonvsyancss in which they rode.
In China said Mr.. LaLacheur In the
vicinity of Pekin there is an argument
for good roads for such things are un-
known. The roads are rough and full of
ruts, and missionary that travels over
these roads is never known to have the
dyspepsia as he is jolted about so in the
journey Qaughter). In speaking of the
wages received in China, MIR. LeLaoheur
said that the average skilled mechanic
received wenty five cents per day. while
II common laborer receives about thirteen
cents.
In closing the speaker called attention
to the false Impressions received relative
to the salaries paid the missionaries. 10
has been asked said Mr.. LeLacheur, how
is 1t possible for a missionary TO live on
5000 year. which is the average salary
received by the missionaries of Northern
China. Ny answer is that the $500 paid
them In American money is equivalent
to $3.50, and then again in that section
1t is great agricultural center and
products are so cheap TINT the missionary
can live well on the salaries paid them.
At the close of the lecture q collection
was taken up and the speaker announced
that he would be obliged to return to tho
mission fields during the early part Of
Deoem Der.

contest for attorney general, and say that
it is becoming more evident every week
that he has long lead over any Of the
other candidates. He has haen conduct.
ing his canvass in quiet and dignified
way, but very effectively. At a meeting
of the York delegation recently, the
sentiment and action Of the meeting was
unanimous for him. In his own county
the delegation, as we'll as the bar are
strongly supporting him. This means
forty votes from York and Cumberland
counties for him. In the six other
western counties, to wit: Oxford, Frank
lin, Androscoggin, Sagadahoo, Lincoln
and Knox, careful canvass shows that
he has majority Of every delegation.
and in some of them nearly the unani-
nous support, giving him ct least in
these counties thirty two more votes,
and in all seventy-two votes from the
eight western counties. In addition to
this he has active and earnest support in

took counties, with scattering votes in
other counties sufficient to insure his

situation. although many exaggerated
claims have been made to the contrary.

but when his opposition is divided
among four opponents, his position is

will concede. The legislature will make

selection of the attorney general.
The logical solution of the contest Els
the nomination of Mr.. Soldiers, since the
| office OF attorney general has not been
held in the western part of the state
since Hon. Henry B. Cleaves was elected
to it in 1880. and also since no other of
