Mr. Mills opened by stating that he should
vary somewhat from the haccalaureate ser
mons usually given to graduating classes in
the higher institutions of learning His adj
dress was not to be sermon, preached at
the pupils from a text or a lecture Astounding
in tiowery language, but rather plain talk
as a young man to young men and young
women. His subject was Success in Life. :"
ferent standpoints. We see man become
famous at the expense of his family relations
or his health The world says he is success
full, but we, who know all the facts, regard
it differently. Another becomes rich by
dishonesty, or by depressing the poor The
world appIauds him as a successful man
True success consists not in what is added
to US from without, but in developing what
is in us for the best good of ourselves and hui
manity. The class motto of the Belfast High
School Glass of 81 "Lowly in Spirit, Lofty
in Aim" is a good one. To this, in order to
attain the truest success in life, we should
add, work Hard and BE True He
who has high aims, works hard and is true,
will attain true success.
~ Following the sermon the congregation
repeated the Lord 5 Prayer, the chorus sang
the hymn, Father, hear the prayer we
offer" and the services closed with the bene-
dCtion.

that devolves upon him of going to the
polls on Monday next and casting his vote
for our candidate for Congress, Hon. E.

forth the necessity for full vote at this

''Let me tell you, my countrymen, that
resuscitation will not be promoted by re-
elimination. The distress of the present
will not be relieved by distrust of the
future. A patriot makes better citizen
than pessimst. And we have got to be
patient Much as we want to move out
of the old house, we cannot do it until
the new house is finished. A tariff law
half made is of no practical use except to
indicate that in a little while whole
tariff law will be done, and it is making
progress. 1t is reaching the end, and
when the end comes we will have bust
ness confidence and industrial activity.
Let US keep steady heads and steady
hearts. The country is not going back

has not been destroyed by the storms of
the past. 1t will yet triumph through
wise and beneticent legislation. Pres.

The June number of The Cosmopolitan
Magazine is full of interest, as all the
numbers are; but to the writer the most
interesting article is Thomas B. Connery's
paper on THE Secret History of the Gar
field Conkling Tragedy Mr.. Connery
knows whereof he speaks. He was for
several years the chief Washington CORE
spondent OF the New York Herald pro-
noted to that position after like service
at Albany, and later he became managing
editor of the Herald. He depicts Conkling
as he really was and as he was known
to tile Washington correspondents in his
day, and by whom he was most heartily
disliked. He never forgave Blaine for
comparing him to a turkey gobbler, and
must have realized the aptness of the de-
scriptio.l. His disposition was that of a
spoiled child, and he had neither the in
stincts nor the manners of a gentleman.
His abilities, oratorical and otherwise,
were unquestioned, and he was of com
manding presence, but his public career
was a failure because of his egotism and
folly.

'Augusta is rich in history and fortu-
nate in historians,'' says the Portland
Advertiser, in a notice of the cente nnial
celebration at the State Capital June 9th
That is true. Moreover Augusta can point
with pride to her able men of the past and
to her able men of the present. The ora
tor of the day was Chief Justice Fuller,
whose admirable address revealed indus
trious as we'll as Jealous research of the
history of his native city. His graceful
allusion to the late James G. Blaine
touched the hearts of the great audience
1t was sincere tribute which was paid
by the speaker, as he and Mr.. Blaine
per reporters in Augusta, and one winter,
when reporting the proceedings of the
Maine Legislature, occupied seats side by
side, Mr.. Blaine reporting for the Kenne-
bee Journal and Mr.. Fuller for the Au-
gusta Age
The other speakers were equal to the

one time proprietor of the kennebec Jour-
nal, was referred to by Howard Owen in
his address on 1.-THE Editorial Chair" as
''that sparkling wit, VIM. H. Simpson. ~
In the course OF his address Mr.. Owen
told this story of the orator of the day:
One night l strayed into a political
meeting being held in old Darby Hall,
which was nearer heaven than many politi
clans will get. 1t was Democratic meet
ing, as you may know when 1 tell you
that Tom Bartlett presided! A young
man, small in stature, but with sweet,
resonant voice, was standing upon chair
making an impassioned speech.
While Republican couldn't be expect
ed to indorse all his sentiments, cOuldn' t
but be led captive by his eloquence. |

tured auditor, and inquired the name Of

that my informant was Democrat, but
his words were prophetic. The young
orator has gone from the editorial chair
to the exalted position of chief justice of
the United States!

Depression
of Spirits

So common in summertime,
accompanied by loss Of energy,
lack Of thought-power, means
a deficient supply Of nourish-
ment. The vital force is lost.
Itisn't a question Of muscle and
sinew, but of resistance and
endurance. At any age, but
especially in youth, it involves
the risk Of lung disease. Loss
of flesh and a cough are threat
ening signs.

IMPROVEMENT OF TOPEKA.
Edward Wilder Forecasts Some of
the Future GIories of Topeka

the Future Glories of Topeka
In response to the toast, THE EmbeI-
Iishmants of Our Cities Edward Wilder
said:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen: It
should not be inferred from my accept
ance of the invitation to respond to this
toast, The Establishment of Our Cities
that I assume to have any special quail
ification for the task, but rather, only
modest, seIf-sacrifcing spirit. and a will
ingness to do what little 1 towards
the promotion of general thought in
paths which the pressure Of our daily
duties leaves somewhat neglected.
after all that has been written and
said during the past centuries on every
conceivable subject, one can not hope to
offer any very new mental delicacies,
any more than can our genial host, Doo>
little, expect to startIe our palates with
original culinary conceptions.
7 have however two chances for such
moderate success as should satisfy
modest ambition: First, that I may by
chance suggest some thought which may
bear fruit by direct development in some
mind to which it appeals; and, second, by
a lamentable failure in my enforced role.
I may provoke a criticism sufficient to
stimulate useful thoughts and suggestion
by others better fitted to arouse an ener~
getic public sentiment for the working
out of tangible results in our midst.
Without attempting to go too far back
or to make a careful study of the earliest
civilization, I think we may claim in
general that during our more modern
centuries. architecture and municipal
adornment have been an expression of
the dominant thought of the period; and
that as against the selfish concentra-
ton of power, wealth and luxury, evil
denced at different periods by the church,
the feudaI barons, and the royalty and
nobility of the last century or two. with
their utter disregard for the rights of
the masses, the latter half of the present
century will stand, especially in Ameri-
ca. for that higher christianity and civil
Iization which recognizes as paramount
the doctrine of love to the neighbor.
Whatever educating and uplifting in
fuences might have been exerted by the
ecclesiastical establishments. by the cas-
ties of the barons, by the palaces of roy
atty, through their beauties of ARCHITECT
