Elihu Spencer in Shakespearean roper
tore, supported by Frank Hennig
Mr.. Spencer has made splendid progress
in his acting; the thoughtside of his work
is manifest in all he does; he has the fine
self-command: has acquired the power
to subordinate the good things in his
lines to he things which are best les
son which many a good actor never learns,
and especially difficult when the mind
of the actor is filed with literary APP
probation of the play as subject to pains
taking study. as is evident in Mr.. Spen-
GERS work. His Iago is finely conceived;
1t was sufficiently suble. The scene be-
tween Othello and Iago, where the jeal-
ousy of the Moor is kinded, could not
have been done better: 1t was good in the
exact ratio of its difficulties. Mr.. Spencer,
supported by Mr.. Frank Hennig and
superb company, will be at the Opera

PatrOniZe Your Own.

People are not aware of the calls made
upon persons in town like this, for
money for various causes and objects. If
a man with moderate means loses a horse
or a COW or meets with misfortune beyond
the usual course of events, some friends
start subscription paper and after get
ting few names of other generously in
clined people make systematic canvass
of the active business men on the street,
particularly the traders. If man or
woman in this or a neighboring town
loses his house or barn by fire and has ne
elected to keep up the insurance, this
same process is exploited in his or
her behalf and traders as a rnle respond
to these calls, however close they may have
to figure and economic to do it. They
are also freely called upon to buy tickets
for entertainments to raise funds in aid OF
various good causes, buy books they do
not want at enormous prices, help along
entertainments and societies by purchas-
ing space in advertising sheets and special
papers, help along church and society
fairs by contributing merchandise, and
respond to various other calls. This is
all right to a reasonable extent, and our
merchants, being men of enterprise and
public spirit. expect to do their part and
perhaps more. This being the case the
people of the town should be loyal to them
and patronize them whenever possible,
instead of peddlers and travelling shysters
on the one hand and merchants of other
towns on the other. In the first case they
are reasonably sure to be cheated, and in
the other almost invariably pay more than
they can obtain the same goods for of
home merchants.
The habit of, or passion for, purchasing
goods out OF town, except in rarely eX
ceptional eases, is all wrong and gross
injustice to the men who pay taxes to
support schools. build school houses,
streets, side walks, bridges sewers, ETC.,
who help support churches and societies
and contribute in innumerable ways to
the welfare of the town and the good of
the people. Be true to your town, to its
institutions, its societies and to the men
transacting business therein. This is
business gospel, that thoughtful people
will concede to be true and people loyal
to their town will pratice. Somerset

The Bankruptcy Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-There
is a very favorable outlook for the bank
ruptcy bill and even the opponents of the
measure concede their conviction that it
will pass both houses. The majority of
the Democrats in the house in all proba-
bility will vote against it. They feel that
its involuntary feature will allow the
creditor class of the east to Cypress the
poor in the west when the latter are the
least able to be borne down upon, while
the voluntary phase of the prosposed legis
lation will encourage dishonesty. The OPP
position, however, has felt it useless to
organize to defeat the measure and will
simply put itself on record.

Stirring EulogN at New Enelauders' Meeting
in BROOKLYN.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2l. The New Eng
land Society of the CITY of Brooklyn held
its 18th annual dinner to- night in ceebra-
ton of the 271th anniversary of The land
ing of the Pilgrims. Thos. S. Moore,
president of the society, presided. At
his right was the Hon. Frank S. Black,
governor of the State, and at his left Sen
ator JOS r. HaWley of Connecticut. The
chief speaker of the evening was Gov.
Black, who responded to the toast, The
State of New y ork. Gov. Black, in part,
said:
New England is a rugged country; its
winters are too cold and it's summers are
too warm; its grudging soil yields only to
the hardest fight, and yet flom its humble
and unpretending homes have walked out
through ali its splendid history, those
characters whose deeds have changed the
current of the world, whose renown is
the possession of mankind There is no
place which has not felt the tread of some
New England child; no enterprise which
has not felt his hand. In conflict he has
stood always the foremost, and in peace
with the most forgiving. Wherever his
varying career has taken him, or whatever
new alliance he has joined in, there has
always been with him the benign and
SOLDERING influence of his early recollec-
tons. You ask me to speak for the State
of New Y ork, but | decline. ! claim the
right and Difference to the remembrances
have praised to speak this once for the
State of Maine. AS a son of New Eng
land, | make the grateful acknowledge
ment that my tides have ebbed and flow
ed through influences which. though re-
mote, have never lost their power"
Governor Blacks tribute to the State
of Maine at the dinner of the New Eng
land society in Brooklyn was not wholly in
terms of praise. Its winters are too
cold, he said its summers too warm and
its soil is too grudging. Too cold? 1t
may seem so to the thin buoded denizens
of warmer latitude, but there are recon-
penses. Maine ain on a zero morning is
as exhilarating as draught of champagne
and leaves no headache afterwartl. Win
ter with plenty OF snow and ice is far
more pleasurable than winter without
them. The coolest waves cause less dis
comfort i'll Aroostouk than in New York,
OF even in Washington, because the people
are better provided against them. Let
not the climate and soil Of New England
be deprecated They are rugged indeed,
but they are important influences in
| holding that New England character,
upon which the speakers at the dinners
of the New England societies abroad de-
light to enlarge. Given softer cline
and more fertile soil, the distinc tive
New England character might have lost
its sturdiness and force 1t might even
have become so relaxed as to submit to
the rule of the political boss. Portland

trade in 1898. Not the least important
reason for such prediction is the fact
that prices will be more attractive than
ever before. Many of the old riders will

otherwise would have been content with
their old ones for another season. With
