By broad and intelligent policy this

sons with strong instincts for historic

Of such persons is necessary. The Hon.
Josiah H. Drummond, in advocating
larger membership for the Maine Histori-
cal Society, said: Societies which devote
their energies to keeping up a small and
select membership and the preparation of
historical articles, are always uninfluen-
tial'
The proportion of educated men and
women was never SO great rs now in our
communities. They should be attracted

dency to mass men in flocks-the "follow

costs so little individual thinking, is les

The society is to be congratulated on It's
good fortune in being admitted to these
quarters in this beautiful building, sacred
to education and culture. 1t was recog-
milton, by the trustees of the building, of
! the society's ciucative influence. Such
recognition will be approved by the pub
lie in proportion to the society's zeal in its
chosen work. Ii its present hopes and
intentions shall be verified by Time, these
rooms will cmbody for the instruction of

DEDICATION.
Kennebec Historical Society
Holds Interesting Exercises.
Quarters In Lithgow Library Build
ing Appropriately Christened.
Fine Address BY Judge Hail-Other Features
o! the Meeting

With the most appropriate and interest
ing exercises, the new quarters of the
Kennebec Historical Society in the Lth
cow library building were dedicated,
Tuesday evening, before a large gathering
of Its members.
The hall, situated above the library,
which, only the day before, was the scene
of the dedication of the library Itself and
the reading room, was again the scene OF
able and scholarly addresses.
Appropriate, too, is the location Of the
Historical Society, closely allied as it is to
the library, and what it contains, and
with its now extensive and still growing
collection Of relics of historic value, it is
indeed a worthy inhabitant of 1t
The exercises opened, with President DR.,
W. Scott Hill in the chair with prayer
oiyen by Rev. MI Sargent, with deep
feeling.
Following this, WAS given most inter
esting and scholarly address by Judge o..

This night signalizes two important
events in the history of this society, its

these elegant quarters. OF its work thus

to Osobri, leaving their wounded, in sd :.
dition to mules and quantity of grain.
Tucrut WAS we'll fortified and en-
trenched, and was able to Withstand a
reconnaissance in force made by Colonel
Stewart on April 8, who took in q part
OF the forts, but was entirely unable to
dislodge the Devishes. There is food
for abundant speculation and interest IN
report received here that the Emuorer
Menelik, Isaly's latest Antagonist at
Adowa, has sent delegate to Negotiate
with the Dervishes. An alliance be-
tween the Abysainians and Deryishes
would upset many calculations.
menellk, negus or king of Shoa and
Negus NeQusti or king Of kings over
Abyesinia, is Christian, as are his SUBJ
Jects. In times past they have been at
war with the Mohammedan dervishes,
10 whom they are hated class OF inf
oels ana the hatred between them par
took OF all the religious rancor and
fanatictsm. During the former cccu-
patton by the English of the Soudan
Menelik proved himself valuable and
reliable ally to them.
On this account It has been believed
that Menelik and the Mahdi were mot
iikely to enter into an alliance, although
the Dervishes we're expected to avail
themselves OF the reverse administered
py Abyssinisns upon the Italians to
advance against Kassala. They have in
common their sntsgonism to the
itaiisns and English but have allowed
tho latter to help Italy.
The Drogress OF negotiations between
Menelik and the Dervishes will there,
fore be watched with some diso uie,ude
by all the powers interested.
