Dedication of Red Mems Hall.

Next Tuesday evening has been selected
by Cogawesco tribe, No. 5, for the dedica-
ton of their hall which they have recent
ly fitted up in Harrington block on Con.
gress street. The ceremony used on this

ton and is very beautiful. 1t is the same
that the Great Council of the United
States used in defeating a hall in Min
neapolis at the last session of that grand
body. The exercises are public and as NO
hall has ever been dedicated to Redman-
ship in Maine this will be novelty to
the greater part of our people. Several
prominent Red Men from other states
have been invited and will be present and
assist the great chiefs of Maine. Every
member of Cogawesco tribe is earnestly
requested tossbe present. All Red Men will
be welcomed on this occasion

FIRST FREE BAPTIST CHURCH.
Letter of Acceptance to Passionate Of
Rev. Lewis Malvern.

A Sketch of the New Pastor-Great Grief
in Laconia at His Leaving the Church
There-He is Prominent in Secret
Orders.
The letter Of acceptance of Rev. Lewis
Malvern as pastor of the First Free
Baptist society of this city, the church of
which Rev. Mr.. Cate was so lately the
beloved head, has been received.
The resignation of Mr.. Malvern over
the church at Laconia, where he had been
established eighteen years, was received
with tears. He had lived in Laconia so
long and was SO pleasantly settled there
his congregation thought he would re-
main for life. He has received many fiat
tering calls from other churches but al
ways declined them.
Rev. Lewis Malvern is native of Eng
land, but Came to the United States when

Rev. Lewis Malvern.

a young man and loves his adopted
country. He first went to Laconia as
pastor of the Free Baptist church in
March, 1876. The congregation at that
time was not large and the church build
ing was burned in October of the same
year, during the local agitation regard
ing the enforcement of the prohibition
liquor laws. Pastor and people united at
once IN earnest endeavors to rebuild the
church, and the following year the new
structure was dedicated and the church
and society were stronger and larger than
ever before. In 1880 Mr. Malvern accepted
a call to the Merrimack Street Free
Baptist church in Manchester, and re-
manned in the Queen City until January,
1883, when he returned to his old pastor
ate, much to the regret of his Manchester
congregation.
Since his return to Laconia in 1888, the
pastor and people of the Free Baptist
church have labored in perfect harmony
and accomplished excellent results.
Numerous improvements have been made
| in the church and the congregation has
steadily increased until it is today the
largest of any church in the city, draw
ing from all classes of society and includ-
| ing many regular attendants who have
previously been connected with other
churches or none at all.
The Laconia Daily Press says: cit is
perhaps safe to assert that Rev. Lewis
Malvern is the most widely known clergy
man in the Granite State, and has more
personal friends both inside and outside
the church than any other preacher who
ever resided in New Hampshire For
twenty-five years he has attended the
Free Baptist Yearly Meeting, his only alb
sence during this quarter of century be-
ing the year when he was visiting Eng
and he was for five years president of tn e
Yearly Meeting and has always filled a
leading place upon the Foreign Mission
Board and General Conference Board
Locally, he has always been prominent in
all movements for the welfare and pros
perity Of the city, and has been every
body's friend, both in and outside of the
church work. A sure Indication of a
PASTORS popularity is the number of
weddings and funerals at which he pre-
sides, and it is safe to say that during
Mr.. Malverns residence in Laconia he
has been called upon twice or three times
as frequently as any other pastor to pre-
side at marriages, and the same statement
will hold true in regard to funerals.
Mr.. Malvern is widely known in Odd
Fellowship, having held the position of
grand master in New Hampshire and has
also been grand representative to the
Sovereign Grand lodge. He has frequent
ly lectured in the interest of Odd Fellow
ship in all parts of the state, and his con-
nection with this order has, of course,
made him many warm friends. He is also
past chancellor of the Knights of Pythias
a member of Pilgrim Commandery,
Knights Templar; and also a member of
the local branches of the Good Templars,
Order of the Golden Cross and United
Workmen. He is entitled to the rank of
Colonel, having been on the staff of the

schooner seen off Green Island by the

Captain Brett, for Calais, in ballast, mis-

WHAT THE CHILDREN SAY.

When. in the dusk OF evening, I come tC
where l see
Three little faces at the window looking
down at me,
And hear the shout OF Papa and the
sound of seampering feet.
And find myself prisoner ere can beat
retreat,
The robbers seize my parcels and search
my pockets through.
And bear me 70 their castle spite OF al
that can do.
There the queen OF these handitd gently
chides their beist'rous glee
And asks how many kisses 1t will take te
ransom me.
oh. Is there any pleasure In all the busy day
That's quite as sweet as listening then te
what the children sayG
Helen thinks hundred kisses are enough
to ransom me,
II I'll change them all for pennies bright as
soon as | am free:
While Henry claims that Papa is more
valuable than that
And so the rascal coniiseates my oNerooat
and hat
But tender-hearted Josephine makes terms
for my release:
sWell let YOU go. dear papa, for lust one
kiss apiece
When I've PAID my ransom duly. this val
liant rehher band
Escorts me 10 the table with guard on
either hand.
There for blessed hour l hlng my cares
away
And grow younger as listen to what the
children say.
From my prison IN the study detect them
stealing by.
TIL they think they're out Of hearing; then
with shouts away they fly.
All about the house they frolle-now below,
now overhead.
Little chance I'll have for study tin they're
snugly tucked In bed.
But at last there comes a silence, and tip
toe out to see
Three little sober faces clustered at theiI
mothers knee.
Their prayer. please bless dear papa,
never fails to put to rout
Every skeptieal opinion or philosophical
doubt.
When the world looks cold and eheerless
and heaven seems far away.
Just stop my friend. and listen 10 what the
children say.

Pigs Need Sunlight.

A young pig is much like flower; it
must have plenty of sunlight to make
it develop and grow into usefulness.
Many fine litter has been seriously
injured for the lack of it. Where
farmers have a hog-house in which a
number of brood sows are having their
litters, we advise putting in cheap
sash on the south side, which can be
done very easily and at present prices
at very small cost. A brood SOW
should never be allowed to produce a
litter in "a dark place. The north side
of a building is no place for her at all.
Choose the south side, or the east if
nothing better can be done, and let
there be plenty of glass windows to
admit the sunlight In the summer
time these windows can be removed
and their place taken by some kind of
screen, or, if nothing better q coarse
gunny sack, which will admit the air
and keep out the flies if pigs are to be
kept in the building. A little atten.
ton to this matter of light will save
plenty Of money and prevent serious
sappointment.-Wal Farmer.
