Peoples Lecture Course.

The second lecture in the peoples
course at the Congregational church took
the audience to Norway, the Land of the
Midnight Sum. Many in the audience
had taken this trip before, but the lecture
lost nothing by repetition, which was by
request.
The third and last in the present course
will be given Thursday evening, when
the life, the country and the poems Of
Robert Burns will be treated.
The life OF Robert Burns and the coun-
try in which he lived and wrote have a
great interest to-day because of much re-
cent literature upon that subject. What
ever the critics may say about the poet as
a writer and a man, all are agreed that his
life is of peculiar interest, and that the
region in which he lived is of remarl.a b G
beauty. The lecture at the Congrega-
tional ~hurch Thursday evening will take
the audience through this country, visit
ing the various scenes dear to the poet
and impressing at the same time he facts
of his life. The last half of the lecture
will recall his more popular poems, giving
here ana there valuable criticism or
suggestion, occas sionally rendering por
tions of these works and all the time add
ing to the pleasure and profit by a series
of life model illustrations.

FOOTBALL NOTES.

The Dirigos have voted to organize a
football team, and hope to be in readi-
ness to play the Orioles, of Bar Harbor,
on Thanksgiv ing Day.
The high school team hoped to play the
Bangor second eleven at Ellsworth mex
Saturday, hut has heard nothing from
them. Unless this game is arranged there
will probably be practice game between
the nirlgos and the high school teams.
The high school team expects to play
Orono at Orono Nov. 90 and at Elswort h
Thanksgiving Day, but the latter game
may be cancelled if the Dirigos and
Orioles arrange to play here on that day,
the high school team being willing TO
surrender the park
F. G. SWEET, coach of the Bowdoin col
lege foot ball eleven, was in Ellswort h
last Monday and worked the high school
team for two hours. SWEET is considered
one OF the best men in the State. His
work with the Ellsworth team was an
eye-opener for the boys, who say they
learned mere points OF the game in two
hours than in all the practice they have
had heretofore. Mr.. SWEET will return to
Ellsworth next week and coach the team
for the game scheduled with Orono.

The Copley Prints.
hOnle.

The Copiey prints which are to. be on
exhibition in Manning hall next week,
Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. IS and II,
are new form OF prints that have
come before the public within the last
two years, brought out by the publishing
firm OF Curtis & Cameron, OF Boston.
These prints are made by a Photographic
process In which paper covered with
pure platinum is used; differing in that
respect from the ordinary photograph,
and by this process are made absolutely
permanent. The process is practically
new in this country and the prints re-
ceive their name in honor of one OF our
earliest and most famous artists.
This exhibition is to be devoted very
largely, though not wholly, to the re-
productions of the Boston and Washing
ton pu bile libraries, and Ellsworth peo-
pie can have at their very door the
opportunity of seeing the very best
pictures the country affords of the artistic
works outside OF these great public build
ings so generally Attracting attention.
This is to be not only an exhibition but
sale of the prints--a rare opportunity
for those who wish to make purchases.
1t will open on Tuesday, Nov. is, at 10 a.
m. and remain open through Tuesday and
Wednesday, morning, afternoon and
evening.
For the small admission fee OF fifteen
cents the exhibition is open and it is
hoped that it will be visited more than
once by the same people. Catalogues of
the pictures will be for sale and hand
books of the Boston and Washington
libraries can be obtained by those wishing
further information in regard to the pc
lures.
The proceeds of this exhibition and
sale are to be donated to the Village i'm
provement society, and this, apart from
the intrinsic worth of the prints them
selves, it is hoped will be an inducement
to attend.

II. l.. Stokes, a coiored hostler for Edi-
tor Pulitzer at Bar Harb Dor, was arrested
In Ellsworth by City Marshal Silvy
Thursday In company with William Al
berts, colored, OF Bar Harbor. Stokes had
sent his personal belongings on to Boston,
and intended to give a few small credi
tors at Bar Harbor the slip by driving to
Ellsworth and taking the train from
here. The creditors frustrated his game
by notifying County Attorney Bunker,
who telephoned to City Marshal Silvy to
arrest the man. The city marshal took
drive down he Mt. Desert road, and met
the men in Trenton woods. County At
torney Bunker came to Ellsworth. 1t
cost Stokes something like $40 to settle
the bills and costs, an increase of some
thing like fifty per cent. over the origi-
nal bills. This left him with only a few
cents In his pocket, and with Alberts he
spent the night in the cell under Han
cock hall, the cheapest lodging to be
found in town. Friday they sent to Bar
Harbor for money enough to get them
