Encouraging Outlook,

The list Of names announced by the
Young Mems Christian Association a.
speakers for the Man q Meetings this fall
is an Indication that the unusual large
audiences Of the past year will be kept
up. Among others, are Rev. A. L. Dunn.
d. D., Of Waterville, DR.. Nathaniel But.
Ter, President of Colby University, DR..
A. W. Harris. President Of Maine State
College, and Rev. g. W. Hinokley Of the
Good Will Homes
During the past year there was an
average attendance Of over 200 at these
services which was a surprise rs well as
a qualification to those who are most In
terested In the welfare of the Association
and with the added advantage over a
ear ago, tn e average for this year will
probably be much larger.
Men naturally like to hear strong
speakers, and the catchy style in which
the Association gets out ths annouce-
ments each week is undoubtedly an i'm
portant factor in drawing the large au-
diences.
Tomorrow afternoon Portland bar Der
will address the meeting and will have
for his subject "An Expensive Hair
Gut. A peculiar subject. 1t is taken
from familiar Bible story.

A Still Alarm.

A still alarm called out the chemical at
about Z O'Clock last evening for a fire in
the house Of John Messing at Free
street. The fire had caught from the
place where the funnel OF the cook stove
enters the chimney, it having become
over-heated. It was extinguished by the
chemical easily, very little damage be-

ported as dangerous. A big crowd col

League Standing
Bangor Wins the Pennant.

bangor WINS the remnant.
Yesterdays game in New Bedford
where Fall River was defeated by score
OF 10 to 4, settles the championship race
in favor of Bangor. Fall River was
making desperate race for the flag,
planning to play three games yesterday,
md two today. They had to win four
straight in order to finish with larger
per cent than Bangor, and while that
was possible, it was altogether improb-
able. Judging by the way the Fall
Rivers have been playing the past month,
either New Bedford, Brookton or Bangor
had stronger team. Had Klobedanz
been retained it is altogether probable
chat Manager Marston's men might have
landed the flag, but the loss of this in
comparable pitcher was fatal to the
chances OF the Border City people. The
Bangor team has done itself and the state
of Maine proud, and the PRESS ia
pleased TO be able to extend it's heartiest
and most sincere congratulations. Moth.
ing in baseball why, unless Portland
could have played the season out and
finished ahead could have pleased us
more, and Bangors' gallant and success
sul fight. in a measure atones for the
rather woeful history of baseball in this
city the past summer. The winning of
the pennant by Bangor. is good thing,
for the New England league in more
ways than one, and will serve to make
organization much easier another year.

The Last London sweep.

The contemporary chimney sweeps,
who still are of Importance to London,
are lusty youths and mature men, who
work with a ''machipe,' and bear re-
lation to the ancient order commiser-
ated by Lamb and purposely cham
pioned by Dickens only in their SCOT
grimed hands and blackened counte-
nances. One of these, testifying at the
inquest over William Price, summed
Up the grand difference between orig
inal worth and present degeneracy.
"I-ol' bless you, we amt chimbley
sweeps nowadays. Not n bit of it. We
work with lot of sticks. Anybody
can do that But he-ah, he wor a
sweep, he wor. He could do our work,
but we couldn't do his. There amt no
chimbleys, and there amt no sweeps
now.'-London Letter
