GEN. FAlRcHlLD AT WEsrBRooK.
Able Addresses by the Californian and
Robert Whitehouse, JH

The Republicans of Westbrook held an
enthusiastic rally in Odd Fellows hall
last evening. The hall was crowded to
the doors with an intelligent aud enthu-
siastio audience. Hon. G. M. Water
house called the meeting to order and
introduced the Republican candidate for
representative to the legislature. I. S.
Burns, as chairman. Seated on the
platform besides The above mentioned
and the speakers Of the evsning were Dr.
.JlL. Horr, Rev. G. c. Phelan, ex-
Mayor Cordwell. Messrs. Ebenezer Stur-
gis, J. r. Andrews, g T. Syringe, N.
L. Brown, H.B. Aver, Esq, and Alder
men Mcclellan and Cobb.
MIR. Burns with sumo appropriate re-
marks introduced r. 7. Whitehouso, ESQ.,,
of Portland as the first speaker Of the
evening. He Immediately launched into
an able discussion of the silver ques-
tion.
He made some very telling points
against the silver heresy backed up by
every day illustrations which were re-
ceived with hearty applause by the audi
ence. When he quoted Candidate Nc
Kinley as saying in his letter of accept
ance letter that 1t was not open mints
but open mills we wanted, his hearers
appreciated the full force Of the quotation
and 1t was tumultuously applaudod.
Mr.. Whitehouse was followed by sMr.
Lee Fairohild Of California He said in
opening that the preceding speaker had
SO convinoingly set forth the sound
money argument he would not enter intt
the financial. discussion to any extent
but would simply try to impress Mr.
Whitehouse's points upon the audience By
some homely illustrations. He made this
Bryan arguments appear mos
ridiculous and kept his hearers convulset
with laughter throughout his talk, Hi
stories were OF the same time 0rigina
and the points that they were intsnded t.
convey were SO apparent they we're ir
ristably funny. 1t vas very beflttinl
speech at this late period in the cam
paign when all intelligent voters hav
seen the fallaoy of the free silver argu
ments and are inclined t O take then
| jokingly rather than as a serious mat er
| Three hearty ch6ors were given to tn
| speakers at tho close.

One person in three Of us have indigestion

may become serious.
We all wish to be strong, and we might
all become 80 if we digested our food. The

Riverton Park.

Yesterday was a superb day at River
ton. The grass was green and fresh as
in the early summer, the fall flowers
were in bloom, the air was balmy and
the winding Presumpscot was thing
of beauty. Throughout the afternoon
and evening the place was thronged
with visitors, and the Casino, the steam
ers, the bicycle house attendants, all
had all the work they could do.
The Aeolians renewed the pleasant
impression created in regard to them ear
lier In the season. Their music was first
class and they were applauded to the
echo.
MIR. Blaisdell of the firm Of Grey &
Blaisdell, architects of Boston has pre-
pared plans for the beautifying of the
three entrances to Riverton park. Two
of them are where the electric oars en- ter
and leave the park and the third is the
driveway on the river bank and near the
handsome canoe house now under the
process of construction. This entrance
will be handsome rustic structure of
stone and wood to harmonic with the
surroundings. A growth of ivy will be
introduced in the near future for the
entrance, also the theatsr and all Of the
buildings. The bicycle house which has
just been completed and placed
in use is one of the most expensive in
the United States. Its cost was about
$4,000 and in consideration of this the
company. whose park is private one,
rendered to tho public for a oompensa-
ton is perfectly fair in requiring that
all entering the park who do not patron
ize the cars but ride bicycles, shall pay
the small charge of having their wheels
checked at the Eipcycle house. 1.-THE off
oesswill be placed at the entrance and an
admittance will be charged to all who dc
not arrive on the cars or who do not
have their bicycles checked at the house.

the late William Steinway.
Gas man of affairs" said DIR. Eat
on, "the late William Steinway's ca.
reer was marked by enterprise and
singular ability and high sense of
honor, and there was no stain upon
his integrity. His name is syno-
nyme for justice. He came to this
country as a workman, and created
a great industry which brought peace
and plenty to the homes of many.
The good citizen takes interest in
public affairs. A citizen of no mean
city, our friend was great enough to
appreciate his privileges and duties.
1t has truly been said of him: He
Was all German in soul and in true
reverence for the Fatherland, but he
was great American in enterprise
and affection for the Republic His
voice and hand were always ready in
the service of good government. On
one public occasion he said; Ger
many is my dear old mother, but
America is my lovely and beloved

the publication of our civic life but
he gave it his personal support; no
plan for the improvement of the city
but he lent his presence and labor.

art and artists, of the outcasts and
the poor. ADMINISTRATIONS of learn

discussion it aims to develop generally
sound view of reality by consideration
of materialism, agnosticism and mys-
ticism in the light of their shortcom-
ings when compared with the demands
of reason and the spiritual sense. 1t
points out many important distinctions
essential to just view of life, and indi-
Gates the dangers of pantheism, and of all
one-sided conceptions of the universe. In
it's practical aspect, it urges the same
need of discrimination and breadth of view
which it finds essential to sound doctrine
of reality.
To those who wish to study the very
latest effort in scientific theism to recon-
struct the thought of science, philosophy
and religion, as they are related to each
'ther, we cordia y commend the book as a
al contribution to the literature of the
subject.

The POWER OF SILENCE. By Horatio w.
Dresser, Boston: George H. Ellis, 141
Franklin ST

| Franklin st.
| This volume has an important subject but
difficult. 1t is God and man, matter and
mind, life and form in their nature, rela-
lions, laws and actions. This shows that
the work is scientific, philosophical and
religious. The author holds that all
| reality is of one substance, and all things,
matter, life, mind, thought, and charac-
| ter, are all forms in which this one SUBJ
| stance exists, moves and acts. 1t en-
| braces all unity and all variety, the one
| a I'd the many.
| The infinite divine energy, life, thought
takes form in the universe of material
| things and vital organisms by process of
| evolution, or the unfolding of the infinite
potency of God into suns and worlds, forms
and organisms, minds and thoughts of the
universe. This God, of which we are con-
scious parts, dwells in us as our life and
being and we are conscious, personal,
moral elements of his infinite conscious
moral personality. He is in us as sub
stance and life, and we are in him as part
of himself He dwells in us, and work
in, by, and through us. He thinks in our
thought, is kind in our kindness, loving
through our love, helps through our help
fulness and gives in our giving.
Ethics in practical life is obedience to
natural law, and consists in trying to con-
serve the best and highest interest of the
world organism to which man belongs, and
of which he is part. Conformity to the
world order in body and mind, in personal
dome tic and social life brings health, peace
of conscience, domestic enjoyment and
business confidence, success prosperity
These constitute the natural rewards of
good life.
The essence of religion in this system S
found in the development of God consci-
ness. 1t is feeling sense of the presence
of the indwelling God in nature and in our
selves. Consciousness of, and confidence
in, the divine order of the universe, and in
the experience of thelife of God in our own
souls. To this awakened spiritual sense
all things are divine. In this system
there is no such thing as real evil. 1t
has moral function in the universe. It's
presence is a means of human develop
ment by the struggle necessary to over
come it.
The book teaches many lessons of great
Importance, and of real practical value.
1t is hopeful book. There is in it in
spiration to the higher life. 1t gives COM
fort as well as inspiration, and throws
many side lights on the great problems of
practical life. W.T.

This volume is an able and original dis

the author is to present theory that will
