receive all who believed with it, as it
did in the days of it's early struggles,
he provoked storm of applause which

In making up our report for the month
of May we find many things for which to
be thankful. While most of the educa-
tionsl classes have closed for the sum-
Nor, the interest in the work does not
seem to decrease, but rather increase.
The botany and millinery GLASSES still con
tinue and the members are enthusiast
in their work. The Bible class recently
organized has for its members young
women who are earnest by seeking the
deeper things Of God. The spirit Of
progress has characterized the work
throughout all it's departments.
The Saturday night socials are proving
success. We shave always pleasing
programme provided and refreshments
served, and those who come into the
rooms are made to feel at home among
US.
The report for the month of May is as
follows: Number of visitors at the
rooms, 555; at Gospel services, 800; at re-
ceptions, 214; at junior meetings. 81 at
noon rest, TO-; total number present at
rooms during the month OF May, includ-
ing classes, business meetings, receptions,
Gospel services, etc., 1917.

The work goes gloriously forward.

ESPECIAL TO THE PRESS.1
: Washington, June 2.-The large vote OF
220 to go. whereby the river and harbo1
bill passed the House over the President's
veto today, is an indication that the bill
will also pass the Senate.
II have no doubt, whatever, that the
bill will pass the Senate by much more
than tie required two-thirds," said
Chairman Hooker of the committee, af-
ter the vote in the House today. The bill
will probably come up in the Senate to-
morrow.
The bond bill which the free silver Sem
ators succeeded in passing through the
Senate today will come to the House to-
morrow and be referred at once to the
ways and means committee. 1t has been
though that that committee might leave
the bill die in committee; but this will
probably not be the case. 1t is expected
that the committee will report the bill
adversely in less than an hour after they
receive 1t, and that it will be defeated In
the House Immediately by large vote.
1t is thought that in this way the ex-
preston of the houses disapprobation Of
the Populistic scheme will be most en-
phatic. If the free silver coalition could
get the bill made into law, they would
be able to break down utterly the govern
ment's finances

say earnestly and clearly When Mr..
Sewall made reference to tie Hon.
Thomas B. Reed, and said that the
Maine delegation at ST. Louis had no
second choice, there was ringing burst
OF applause ending in hearty cheer.
notwithstanding the fact that Mr.
SeWall motioned for silence The ap-
plause was renewed at the conclusion
Of the speech.
The next outburst Of applause came
when during the recess to allow tine
county delegates to make their nomina-
tions, Mr.. Sewall presented Governor
Cleaves, in response to the cries for. the
governor from all parts of the hall. The
reception which Gov. Cleaves received
was hearty in the extreme and the Gov
ernor made a speenh which set the au-
dience cheering and applauding before
he had finished. An allusion in his re-
marks to the Cuban patriots found a
ready response in a burst Of applause
es loud as any of the afternoon.
Then the delegates set up cry for
theA Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath. but Mr..
Heath was firm in bis declinatiou to
make speech. Promptly after The re-
cess. the chairman announced that NOM
nations for candidate for governor
were in order. AS Judge Savage Of Au-
burn rose in the midst of the Andros-
ooggin delegation. He was recognized
and loudly called upon to take the plat
form.
Judge Savage then nominated Hon.
Llewellyn Powers in speech which found
great favor with his hearers and which
was followed by remarks by Col. &. Il.
Dow of Portland and Bertram L. Smith,
Esq.,, Of Patten, in seconding the nomin-
alton. The convention ratified the mo-
tion by rising vote and few minutes
later the delegates were on their feet,
with hand clappin and cheers, as the
next governor of Maine appeared upon
the platform, Mr.. Powers spoke at some
length. He made speech which was
the subject Of much favorable comment
''That's good" said one Of the delegates
as after tine adjournment they as crowded
upon the platform to shake the hand of

Chairman Manley then introduced Mr..
Sewall, saying:
Under President Cleveland's first ad-
ministration he appointed to high dip
Iomatic office a young man from Maine
who had recently graduated from college
and law school This young man was a
Democrat by Inheritance of three genera
tions. He discharged the responsible du-
ties entrusted to hin in such a manner
as to win for himself International fame
and reflect credit and honor upon his
state and country. So faithfully and so
efficiently did he discharge these duties,
Notwithstanding his membership in the
Democratic party, President Harrison
sent him on two important diplomatic
missions. Upon the incoming of the Sec
ond and last administration of Grover
Cleveland, this young man, imbued with
a patriotic spirit, thoroughly American,
knowing from his own experience the un-
American and unpatriotic position into
which the Democratic party had drifted,
renounced his allegiance to that party,
and sought fellowship within the folds
of the Republican party.
In the campaign of 1894 he rendered
very efficient and valuable service upon
the stump in Maine, in Massachusetts
and in New York. In partial recognition

Yesterday YerXa Bros. moved back
from the market house to their old To-
cation corner of Seventh and Cedar
streets. Since the fire which compelled
them to move some months ago, they
have been busy refitting and refurnish-

of the finest and most complete grocery
establishments in the Northwest.
The grocery department occupies a
floor space 60 by 100 feet, is well lighted
and ventilated and is finished in cherry.
An attractive and unique feature will
be the tea garden which is furnished
in rich oriental style. In the northeast
corner is a mammoth soda fountain Of
marble. The various lines of goods
are arranged in the form of square.
The meat department is separated from
the grocery by heavy plate glass This
part Of the store is in oak, and all the
counters are of marble.
Yesterday morning Yerxa Bros, an
nounced their opening in the G o b e
and their store was visited by thousands
in the course of the day, and many were
the expressions of admiration that
could be heard on all sides which
augured well for the future success Of
the firm.
