EVANGELICAL SERVICE AT THE
WEST END.

Rev. B. Fay Mills has a striking
counterpart in the person of Rev. W. ID,
Dunnack. the evangelist, who is now
working at the West End church. There
is the same scholarly handling OF his
themes, the same deep earnestness or
manner. the same soul stirring enthu-
siasm, with an intense conVictlon or
utterance, that with the prophets, he
might, almost, be expected to preface his
message of salvation, with, linus saith
the Lord
His subject last evening was "The more
abundant life," which held his audience
to the last word Already several have
publicly expressed a desire to LEAD
Christian life. Each evenings service
shows an increasing interest. Praise ser
vice at 7.30. Sermon by the evangelist
each evening at 7.45, with the exception
Of Saturday evening, when there Will be
no service.

selected food at his meals, but adds coffee
possibly three times day.
If the owner has proven by daily ex.

that it does not detract from his health
in any manner, it would be admissible
for him to continue its use, even although
it furnishes no food value, but is simply
a stimulant and narcotic.

Fidelity to old favorites is marx OIL
Portland theatre goers and large audi
ence welcomed Miss Lillian Kennedy at
the Portland theatre last night where she
and her company presented the comedy
in four acts entitled 1.-THE Deacon
Daughter"
The story of the play is too well known
to be dilated upon. Miss Kennedy IN the
dual role of the plain country girl Oh
Pawtucket and then of the dashlng
actress on New York boards WAS of course
the central figure. Her smile was as
fetching as ever and her vivacity as IN
grat1ating. She was especially efeotiVe
in the second act where she introduces
her "wash tub song and in the thlro
act she was compelled to respond 10
several encores and notable among ner
catchy musical numbers were oh
Broadway" Louisiana, Lou, Lou ana
her Coon songs which scored a decided
hit.
Mr.. Wunder, as the Deacon. and MISS
Gerome as the Deacon's wife were wei
suited to their parts, and did merltoIl'
GUS piece of acting in the photograph
scene in the third act. MIR. Kennedy as
the New York business man was gooo
while Miss Gerome as the Irish maid
created merriment.
Mr.. Kennedy as the impresslonlso
painter did clever work and his duets
with Mabel Hawthorne personated by
Miss Kennedy, won deserved applause.
The cast as a whole was acceptably
fitted and the play will be given at TO-
day s matinee and evening performances.
