BICYCLING ABROAD.
Mrs. Alice Freeman Parker's Lecture for
the school Room Fund.

When the word was given out little
more than week ago that Mrs. Alice
Freeman Palmer, former president of
Wellesley, was to give talk on ''Bicycle
Journeys through Europe" every body
who heard it was delighted, and all
looked forward with great pleasure to
the prospect The lecture was given
Saturday afternoon at Pine street church
under the auspices of the Women 'sLiterary
Union for the benefit of the school room
decoration fund, and Mrs u. 3. CLARK,
the president, most happily presented
Mrs. Palmer TO the audience as travelling
through Europe "quite in the modern
way
An exquisite mass of pinks. tied with
% dainty ribbon, was presented by Mrs.
Clark to Mrs. Palmer on behalf of the
Wellesley girls, now resident in Portland,
which made very graceful little scribe
for the opening of the delightful lecture
which followed. Mrs. Palmer responded
most feelingly to the gift of the flowers,
saying that no welcome could be more
pleasant than such one from the
Wellesley girls who. like all Things OF
beauty were a joy forever.
In opening, ths lecturer said that If
some good fairy were to give us thous-
aud dollars, the first thing we would
do with it, could we choose, each one
would say, without doubt "I'n go to
Europe 1t is well for us to have the
change FROM our new country to that OF
the old, and especi lily does one find 1t
on a bicycle. In this way, one has the
feeling Of actually being among the peo
pie, and In coming in contact with tn
quiet people of SO many lands, this inter-
esting woman. with her broad hum an
sympathies, felt q greater assurance OF
how noble and beautiful is this great
fraternity towards all, which Mrs Pal
rner carries with her, as the breath she
draws, made her alive to all the human
side of the life with which she came in
contact and made her listeners realize
that her greatest charms, making so
powerful the deep culture, is her sweet,
womanly dignity. Nothing could be
more delightful than the descriptions she
gave of the exquisite, green land of Nor
mandy PEASANT: the fisher folk of Brit
tany. and especially the graphic picture
Of Nouns Saint Michel on the boundary
between these two intere sting, but total
| ly different provinces of France. The life
there among the country people was
evidently dear to Mrs. Pa1mer's heart,
and she seemed glad to pay tribute to
those people of France outside the Cap
ital, where the. heart Of the country is
| still wholesome.
After period of housekeeping in Paris
Mrs. Palmer and her " Harvard Profess
sor," journeyed on through province and
made the long journey from Marseilles to
Genoa on their wheels over the bsauti.
full cornice road, and in ITALY followed
another period of resting and housekeep
ing In Florence and Venice. From
Venice they began again in May theii
wheeling journeys through charming
Italy and the interesting border provinces
up 70 Vienna.

DEATH OF SAMUEL TRAsk.
A Well KNOWN Citizen of Portland and
Graduate of Bowdoin.

ME-, Samuel Trask, gentleman we'll
known and highly respected in Portland,
died very suddenly at $50 O'Clock OF
heart disease while riding ON Portland
and Cape Elizabeth oar.
Mr.. Irask had been dining with Capt.
Rogers of Fort PEBBLE, and started for
home at few minutes after O'Clock.
Or. the Fort road he boarded Conductor
Cleaves's car on ths Portland and Cape
Elizabeth electric road which was
bound into the city. He seemed to be
in his usual good health and spirits when
he boarded the car and seated himself
near one end Of it, opposite Mr.. Frank
Thomas. There wers about dozen peo-
pie in this car, including quite num-
Der of women.
Shortly after the Car had passed
through Ferry village and was on its
way up Sawyer street, Mr.. Thomas
noticed that Mr.. Trask began to gasp
for breath and was evidently suffering
severe pain. Mr.. Thomas and one or
two other passengers hurried to Mr.,
Trask's assistance and supported him on
the seat MIR. Trssk tried TO speak, half
started from his. seat and fell back dead.
All OF this occurred so quickly that
few people in the car had tirae to realize
what was happening.
Conductor Cleaves ran the car to
Knightville where he summoned DR..
Rogers of that place who, as soon as he
had made an examination, announced
that death was caused by heart disease.s
The car then continued on its way into
Portland and the body was taken to
misunderstanding rooms and afterwards
removed to the residence of Mr.. John
W. Dana, the husband of niece OF the
deceased.
The news Of Mr.. Trask's sudden death
was quickly learned at the Cumberland
club, Of which he has long bean an hon.
ored and respected member and was q
great shock to those present In tho club
house at the time. Every member OF
the club feels that in the death OF Mr.
Trask ne has lost valued and firm
friend, and universal expressions OF sor-
row were heard on all sides last evening
when Mr.. 5Trask's death became general.

some Is years ago and has resided here
quietly ever since. He married Mrs.

years aga. His sister. Mrs. Judge Ed.

that we are children of eternity-that
God loves each one, counting the very
hairs of our head. Who SO believes
with him will not say-Vanity OF vani-
ties, all is vanity and striving after
wind.
The sermon closed with two illustr a.
tions. Celia ThaxteY, in her island home
felt the mystery of life; its sorrow, its
agony. but she grew to believe in God
and Immortality. She cad her poems
in the Woman's Reforinatory at Sher-
borne for her great friend, HRS. Ell an
johnson. Standing before those Wom-
en-, she helped them to love and hope by
the power of her faith.
Mrs. johnson herself shows what hear
ing the higher voice will do. On New
Years ewes she gathers the women in
the chapel to await the midnight. There
she waits their coming and listens to
the advancing footsteps along the corri-
doris. When the prisoners have entered,
she kneels with them in prayer and
waits for the stroke of 12. Then shs
prays for her charges that the new year
shall bring advance into noble life.
They depart, and she remains to hear
the receding footsteps. Alone with Sod,
she can bear the mystery OF the uni
verse, the mystery of sin, the mystery
of sorrow, for she believes every prodi-
gal will return to the Father some day.
Rejoicing in Him, she awaits the work.
