ception given in honor of Miss Frances

and appropriately attired, and the music
was the very best. Refreshments were
served by Miss Annie Dorr and Miss

That Mr.. and Mrs. Gallert and

Their best and happiest efforts.

Foruot the Name OF His Church.

\ well known citizen OF Il town not

town along Industrial lines and who Is
Identified with many improvements Ia
local matters. tells the following good
story on himself.
Brunswick on business. His mileage had
run out and the ticket agent had also
run out OF the kind OF mileage books that
the aforesaid citizen wanted. He asked
the ticket agent If there was an excur-
sion season on SO that he might get "a
ticket at reduced rates. The agent
CHANGED to think that on that day ex-
sursion rates wer. in vogue for con-
vention to be held in Portland by some
church society. the agent did not know
what society but it WAS Y. p. $. G. r.
or something OF that sort. The ticket
was bought and the citizen went to
Brunswick. one friend is very well
known among the conductors of the
Maine Central railroad but the next day
on his return home new man was Ia
charge of the train. probably Il baggage
master taking the run during the hay off
of his conductor for some reason or other
our citizen rendered the ticket and the
following conversation ensued.
What's this fory
That's my ticket
What do you want me 10 do with il?
why / want you to take it for my
fare
Il don't know anything about any such
excursion.
We'll there is one anyway. | bought
that ticket at Blankville and the agent
said | could return on 1t today.
Don't you know what convention Is
being held in Portland?"
Here our friend was stuck fast. He
told the conductor that II was the Chris
tian Endeavor or the W. c. T. L. he did
not know which. anyway said he.
Il am going to Waterville and when We
get to Augusta you can find out whether
or not the ticket is good. If 1t is not.

and after the usual delay the train
started for Waterville. The conductor
went to his passenger and said: The
ticket is all right. but say my friend, be-
fore you join another church suppose you
md out what the name Of it is. 1t may
be of value to you to know some time.
Every now and then whether in the
midst of an electric railway scheme, con-
ting the beauties of his own lit
tie opera house or bordering over the
purchase of n new horse our friend can
not think of the name of the society
whose convention he did not attend.

Concert al Island Park.

Sunday was an exceedingly warm
day and the cooling shades and river
breezes of Island park We're far more
preferable than to be shut up in the
house or even lounging on the lawn.
The Waterville & Fairfield Electric
Railroad Co. had planned to run ex-
cursion cars to Fairfield and provide
music for Sunday afternoon. and a
good crowd took advantage of the op-
portunity to visit the park.

He Got the Drop on Tim.

The tramp fraternity is apparently rap
idly growing. With their increase In
numerical strength the members of the
order are getting to be holder than ever
as the days go by. Tim" is Il well
known freight conductor and one that
ordinarily it Is not safe to monkey with
to any great extent. but Friday he got
called down" in way that was not
only unpleasant but startling.
That day, tramp boarded Tins

Tim ordered him off two or three times
but the fellow was persistent in his de-
termination TO ride As the train APP
preached Leeds Junction. Tim discov-
cred his passenger clinging 10 the ladder
OF box car and again orderd him off
the train which was running slow. The
man refused TO get off and Tim started
to go down the ladder TO exercise his au
thority. AT this the gentleman of the
highway as Tim says. pulled ii gun as
big as IL cannon from His pocket and al
lowed that he would ride IA while longer.
Tim said. why certainly. sure. ride as

Not Related TO the Bar Harbor Fiend,

1t IL sometimes the source Of much
annoyance to bear a name similar to
that OF some other person. This has
been true the case of l.. q. Salisbury,
formerly of Bar Harbor, recently Of
this city, but now in business in Show
hogan. Since the preparation of that
horrible crime by Harry Salisbury up
on small child at Bar Harbor last
week. Mr.. Salisbury Of Skowhegan has
been much annoyed by queries OF ac-
puaintances as to the relationship Of
the two men. Mr.. l.. g. Salisbury Is
very well and favorably known In this
city and his large circle of friends will
be interested to know that he is in no
way related to the Bar Harbor fiend.
Harry Salisbury is a resident Of Els
worth and not Bar Harbor. as the press
has stated, and Mr.. l.. c. Salisbury
has never even met him.

Temperance Mass Meeting.

The temperance mass meeting at the
Baptist church. last evening, was at
tended by nearly 400 people. Probably
more would have been in attendance
but for the storm.
Horace Purinton presided at the
meeting. After singing hymn 1856,
Scripture and prayer by Rev. DR.. G.
u. b. Pepper. the meeting was adj
dressed for few minutes by Presi-
dent Purinton. who said he was salts
fed that there is a strong ten perance
sentiment in this city and that he be-
lieved political parties would divide on
the question of the enforcement of the
prohibitory law. The speaker believed
that temperance people who are luke
warm on the subject are responsible
for much Of the intemperance in the
city Mr.. Purnton said that the Pro-
hibition platform as adopted at the
Prohibition convention recently he'd
in this city contains every insane idea
and suggestion that had ever been
suggested on the subject of prohibi-
ton
Dr. Pepper followed for the next Is
minutes. He scored the officers Of the
law and censured the press because it
would not publish the address of Mr..
Berry at n former meeting. That DR.
Pepper was earnest. none of his hear
crs will doubt. His speech was APP
plauded at the close.
Rev. w. f. Berry was the next
speaker. He explained how it hap
pened that a story had been published
stating that he had endorsed the cleo
ton of Frank Jones as a trustee of
the kents Hill seminary. Mr.. Berry
denied that he had ever endorsed Mr..
Jones election. He had his own pri-
vate views on the matter and pre-
ferred 10 keep them to himself. Mr..
Berry spoke of the rights of home and
the importance of the law. He said we
want in the State of Maine a rever-
ence for the law. The speaker was
very outspoken. He claimed to be in
possession of knowledge of what he
named to be facts. He tackled the
intemperance question with n vim and
was frequently applauded. He spoke
as a citizen. not as a minister. and
stood on the firm ground of right. not
might.

Thursday on the principal streets,
good sized gang of men and teams
evinced the life and enterprise of the
undertaking. Many private residences
have seemed to catch the spirit of i'm
provement and sickle and lawn mower
are being used with good effect Oil
barrels have been freely contributed
by different citizens, to be painted and
lettered and placed at the school
buildings and other prominent places as
receptacleS for litter of any kind.
These will be emptied by the city once
week. The citizens in general have
taken an active interest, and have
heartily co-operated in this work At
present the funds are limited, and it is
earnestly hoped that every citizen
will become a member of the society,
and thus contribute his mite to the
good cause
