Gospel MEETING.

[For the TELEGRAM.l
The annual Gospel meeting
held at Cheswood Park on last
Sunday was, indeed, day of
great JOY to all who attended the
services of that day. Three ex-
cellent, practical sermons were
preached by the Rev. Mrs. M.
S. Smith, the fruits of which, no
doubt, will be gathered into the
kingdom of our God. The great
basso, with his jubilee songsters,
did not put iii their appearance
according to promise, therefore,
the A. M. E. church choir was
substituted, led by Prof: S. II.
Guss, who was assisted by Miss
M. G. Jones, rendered from DIR.
81. R. Palmer's book of superior
anthems, some of the finest
church music written. They did
honor to the services and credit
to themselves, inasmuch that
many said that they were "as
good as the jubilees."
The best of order was main
tanned throughout the day. In
fact, the whole affair was the
most creditable ever held on the
grounds by the A. M. E. church.

ship and rapid progress has
been made in all lines of church
work. The church shows its ef.
hclent organization by the results
OF the work it has accomplished
during the past few years. The
Epwortn League is doing excel.
lent work. The interest is well
maintained. ard the members
are very active and earnest. The
numbers of those who arewilling
to take active part as leaders in
the league meetings has increas-
ed many fold. Thechurch is in
healthy working order in every
department. The Ladies Aid
Society has been extremely eff

a prosperous condition financi.
ally. The choir has been an in.
valuable aid to the pastor in his
efforts to reach the people.
Harmony characterizes them in.
a social way as we'll as IN their
singing. In addition to his regu-
lar pastoral work, Brother Evans
has always been ready and will
ing to respond to the numerous
calls for his able services in de-
livering special sermons and adj
dresses throughout the county.
One of the interesting features
of his work is the remarkably
large number of nuptial knots he
has tied, and although he has
only one hand, heties them firm
ly enough to last through life.

In Maine's History.

The Democrats had hoped to
ksluce the Republican majority

evall for Vice, P resident, and, if.

liver ranks. The State election

iced but that it was largely in.
sssed, exceeding the expecta.
1as Of thelmos tIsanguine. Or
hatily the Reppb lican majority
from II, 00O!to 90, 600.
It's estimated that the State

zach $4,000. This fact is giving

...luSAMERlcAS DOCTRINE.

One of the most deplor,lble
ieatpres Of the current campaign
Is the attempt to introduce a new
POLITICAL division, based not only
on sectional. but class lines. The
effort to array the sections of the
country one against the other
Vest and South against East and
North is a bad one.
The Bryan campaign seeks to
not only resectionalize our poll
ticssand mass the people against
each other in large geographic
directions, but is sowing the
seed of class hatred as we'll. 1t
is teaching such pernicious ideas
that those who labor for wages
and those who employ them are
natural enemies; that those who
borrow money and those who
lend to them are in the relation
of oppressed and oppressors, and
that those who, whether for lack
OF Ipdustry or good fortune, have
not acquired much property have
a light to assail and iniure all
theiFs ellow-men who have. The
teaching of such doctrine is to
Etfe last degree unpatriotic; it is
'absol ntely wicked. 1t is from
such Seed that the worst forms
Of social disorder and strife may
Ibe EVENTUALLY expected to come.

largest and most enthusiastic
ever held at that place. The

which was accompanied by the

very largely toward making ii
such a grand success. The exs

as high as two hundred, and was
a jolly, hilarious, but for the

crowd. ].
The train bearing them pulled
in at Shinnston after the ap.

club formed in line and marched
to the Opera House, where the

inexpensive Fancy Work,

Our editor says that cheap fancy work is
wanted so will describe some very pretty
garments which were recently seen.
The materials were "fruit of the loom"
muslin and Barbour's Irish fax threads,
both of which are cheap, durable and always
satisfactory. They can be obtained at
country stores. The gowns m entioned were
made with yokes one round and the other
square.
The sleeves were gathered to form a r:ffle
at the wrist. Round collars finished with
ruffies, one of which was edged with red
linen lace and the other feather stitched
with the Irish fax thread, made a neat fin
ish for the neck The sleeve ruf1es were
trimmed to correspond with the collars.
A feather stitching OF the fax thread was
TO head the ruffles an d edge the yokes.
A spray of flowers was outlined with the
thread, on the back, and each side front of
the yokes. Any color IF thread may be
used.
If something still cheaper is desired, Tur
key red marking cotton may be used for the
decoration, but it has not the rich silky lus-
ire of the linen.
Another pair of gowns were shown by a
young girl whose time was too fully taken
up with other things to allow of the hand
stitching,
This pair of gowns was trimmed with red
feather stitch braid and red and white linen
lace. No design was outlined on the yoke.
A very pretty and useful piece of fancy
work is pillow for lounge or hammock
made of brown linen, 1.-THE natural color of
flax) and embroidered with ulster rope linen
floss.
The design may be conventional border.
or a spray of flowers worked diagonally
across the pillows.
fit is for the hammock, sew two straps to
the upper corners to fasten it in place, and
pocket across the lower half of the back
hold book or paper.
