 Joe B. Lanktree of Alameda, who has been freely mentioned in connectionn with a secret deal with Lou Brown regarding the delegation from the Forty-sixth As sembly District, declares that there was nothing done that was disloyal to Dr. Pardee or his interests.
 Tt was well known" said Lanktree to-day, that Brown had many friends In this district, and it was only by union of the Brown and Pardee forces that suc- cess could be assured for a ticket that would beat that of w. R. Davis at the primaries. There is nothing in those let ters from Lou Brown that needs explana- tion We were for Pardee first and Lou Brown second. We went to Sacramento loyal to Dr. Pardee. and the fact that some of us did not wear his badges pos sessed no significance.

MINISTERS MEETING.
Discusses the Sensational Element in
the Pulpit.

At the regular weekly meeting of the
Ministerial association at the Y.M.C.A.
parlors yesterday morning Rev. J. B.
discussed the question: "Do the times
demand the sensational element in the
pulpitr'
| Before he attempted to answer this
question he said one other question must
be answered: i "What is Sensational
preaching?" I call shat preaching SEN
sational that has for it's sole object the
increase of the size of a congregation for
purely worldly purposes; that aims at
| numerical and financial success. Numbers
are not to be despised and money is need
ed to carry on the work of the church.
Gospel of Christ must preach whether
men will hear or forbear 1t is a burden
laid upon his soul which no earthly con-
sideration can release him from. Many a
man called of God to preach has never
had multitudes to hear him. Nor has he
reaped a large monetary reward"
Mr.. Shepherd argued against costly
churches and large salaries. A large sal
airy is offered man, not because he is
| worthy of his hire, but on the principle
| that a fast trotting horse brings large
price because Of the great stakes he may
bring his owner. A church that texlsts
for any other purpose than the preserva-
tion and increase OF spiritual life it is
not church and can never do the work
OF church.
Mr.. Shepherd argued against announc-
| ing special music, stereopticons and other
such devices to attract crowd to a
church. "The stereopticon will have its
day, to be succeeded by the monograph,
by the use Of which ministers and choir
can be done away with and the entire
act of public worship can be gone through
with by machinery.
Gin my judgment.the only preaching
that can accomplish lasting and pro-
found good is Biblical. Such preaching
can never become monotonous or insipid.
A pulpit built upon invention, clever
| ness. ingenuity, audaoity and originality
must be self Inundated and self de-
stroyed. I believe Sunday should be set
aside for strictly religious worship"

MAxoY-sAWYER CO. ASSIGN.
One of the Largest Crockery Houses in the
State.

At 9 O'Clock yesterday morning the
importers of crockery, china. glassware
and silver plate, one of the largest houses
of the kind in Maine, sJnade an assign
ment for the benefit of it's creditors, to
Harry R. Virgin. The failure was
brought about by lack of capital and slow
collections. The company had some out
standing notes which were shortly coming
due and found itself unable to meet
them. To avoid attachments and costly
litigation, the company made an assign
lnent SO that it's creditors might realize
more upon the company's assets.
The company was organized. January l,
1895 to succeed the firm of Sawyer,
Maxcy & Co., who succeeded the firm of
Charles e. Jose Sc Co. The officers of the
Maxcy Sawyer company are John E.
Sawyer, president; Reuel S. Maxoy
treasurer and Edward C.Webb, secretary.
The company is capitalized at S75, 900
and has always done very large bust
ness.
We learned yesterday that the liabilities
Of the Maxcy-Sawyer company were about
$40, 900, while the assets will be somewhere
near this figure. but as they have not as
yet been figured up it is now impossible
to give any definite figures as to the
amount. The business will be continued
for time at least by the assignee. A
meeting of the creditors has been called
for Tuesday. January 18th. Nearly all of
the creditors of the company are firms
outside Of the State of Maine.
