A HAPPY BEGINNING.
First Free Baptist Church People Wei
come Their New Pastor, Rev. Lewis
Malvern.

1t was q hearty welcome that the
parishioners of the First Free Baptist
church gave their new pastor, Rev. Lewis
Malvern, last evening. The spacious
vestry was filed and the occasion was one
of great interest. Decorations of flowers,
ferns, evergreen and palms made the
vestry resemble mammoth bower. An
hour of sociability, a serving of refresh
ments and a feast of music occupied the
early part of the evening.
Then followed the verbal welcome. The
new pastor and his wife and daughter oc-
cupied seats upon the platform. Hon
Hiram Knowlton welcomed the pastor in
behalf of the church, saying many pleas
ant and complimentary things of the people
among whom Mr.. Malvern has come to
labor. Rev. Mr.. Cox of Steep Falls de-
livered a brief welcome address, in behalf
of the Cumberland quarterly meeting.
Rev. L. III. Stacy, pastor of the Cusst
Avenue Free Baptist church, Saco, de-
livered q hearty welcome in the name of
the state association. He made special
reference to Rev. Mr.. Malvern's long and
5uOSCpSi III PIhooOIdDO Ill lLttCOlld, IN. H.,
from which field he was called to his
present pastorate.
Rev. r. t. Hack extended to the new
pastor a hand of fellowship from the
sister churches of Portland, and did it in
a very entertaining manner.
The response from Mr. Malvern was
hearty, enthusiastic and full of warmth.
He described his feeling of regret at
severing his relationship with the church
at Laconia, over which he was pastor
nearly twenty years, but expressed ap-
probation of the kindness and brotherly
attention shown him since he came to
Portland. He had frequently been told
that Portland is beautiful city, and he
could fully unite in that sentiment. He
introduced to the audience his wife and
daughter, and then followed season of
hand shaking.
The committee in charge of the recep-
ton included Messrs Lindley M. Webb
and Hiram Knowlton, Mrs. George H.
Owen, Mrs Charles F. Tobie, Mrs. j. j.
Pooler, Drs. Marshall and Miss Emma
Stevens

rrol,ex servioe without wire.

The electric trolley system to be intro
duced in Paris in time for the Interna-
tional exposition of 1900 is vastly diff
erent from that commonly employed in
the United States, inasmuch as the
dangerous overhead wires are absolutely
done away with, according to the
Philadelphia Inquirer. The new sys-
tenn is the invention of the French en-
gineer, Bochet, and, while rather sim
pie, it steers clear of the objection of
unsightly obstruction which is usually
raised when overhead wires have to go
up. Bochet establishes overhead con-
facts from electric lamposts belonging
to the city, the distance between posts
being somewhat smaller than the
length of the electric train, consisting
of two or three cars, SO that contact is
always assured at one point at least.
| Through flexible points of contact sus-
pended from each electric post along the
| proposed line the current will be taken
up by means of copper, rail fastened
along the edge of the roof of the car not
less than Ia or 10 feet from the ground.
The contact point will slide along that
copper rail and there Is not the slightest
difficulty in establishing continuous
current if the points of contact are
made sufficiently elastic. The current
1 is allowed to return to the power sta,
ton through the track of the line. as
usual. This system offers all the bene,
fits of the overhead as well as OF the
] Underground system without any O
their shortcomings.

What the Term Stands For and Why
1t Is Becoming Popular.
The word ''limited" in connection
with corporations and business firms,
says prominent lawyer, is now in
very general use. 1t originated In Eng
land, and almost every business con-
Germ there is n limited partnership. OF
all the cities in this country Pniladel-
phia has more limited partnerships
than any other, though there was not
one there twenty-five years ago. Phila-
delphia got the idea during the Cen
tennial, and, it having been found by
experience to be good thing. it has
grown constantly. 1t means that those
interested in firm are only interested
to a limited extent; that is, only to the
extent in which it is stated in the artf-
eles of incorporation. The limit of one
member of a firm, therefore, may be
$4,000. while the limit of another may
he ten times that amount, or one-tenth
| or any other part. Thus, In the firm OF
Brown. Jones & Co., Limited, Brown
NAV have three-fourths of the stock
| and Jones and the others the remaining
fourth. 1t limits the responsibility. as
| If makes a member of the firm liable
| only for that which is named in the ar
| ticles of Incorporation. In this kind OF
firms or corporations the law which al
lows them to limit their responsibility
also requires that the word Limited
shall always be used il naming the
firm. so that all may know exactly that
though there may be large numbel
of very heavy men financially interest
ed in the concern, their interest and re
sponsibility are limited 1t is a fai
thing all around, for it prevents the us
of big names. which haze sometime
been used to boom enterprises and cor
norations, when in reality the owner
of the names have had but little inter

Too Hot or Tou Cold.

The careful observations recently
made by Professor Percival Lowell of
Harvard atTacubaya, in Mexico, prove
almost conclusively in the minds of
astronomers that no human life can ex-
list on Venus or Mercury, or If there are
people there they must be altogether
different from those of the earth and
those who are now believed to inhabit
Mars. It has been demonstrated that
these planets rotate only once in the
full course of orbital revolution around
the SUM-
The faces which these planets thus
turn toward the. sun enjoy perpetual
day. while the further sides are wrap
ped in endless nights These planets
have. therefore, intense heat on one
side and intense cold on the other.
On one side Venus is always glowing
in the light of. the sun. Night and dark
ness are there unknown. A heat far
greater than any known on this earth
nreyails over this half of the planet.
On the other side there is perpetual
night. No sun ever shines here. The
place is covered with ice and snow and
vegetation is unknown.
The same conditions prevail on Mer-
curry. 1t is, therefore, apparent that if
there are human beings upon these
planets they must be either hard
| ened kind of Eskimos or veritable sala-
manders. Professor Lowell does not
say what is the nature of the neutral
zcne that intervenes between the dark
/ and the light sides of these planets.
The presumption is that here, along
the edge, there must be territory OF
some thousands of miles where there Is
a kind of twilight and where the in
tense heat of one side fades off into the
intense cold of the other. These eondi
tions would, It's thought, make human
4 life possible in a restricted district
where vegetation might spring up IL
a ring around the planets.-New Yori
