commenting upon the influence of the
Presbyterian Church upon the early
life of this country, makes the follow
ing observation; 'The Presbyterian
Church in colonial days contained a
large element of Scotch and Scotch
Irish, who were either forcibly ban
ished from their homes or became
voluntary exiles to escape intolerable
expressions, They brought with them
hatred of despotism and an unquench-
able thirst for liberty. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, that, as Bancroft
says, the first voice publicly raised in
America to dissolve all connection
with Great Britain came from the
5cotch-I Irish Presbyterians The first
body to declare for open resistance
was the Presbyterian synod of Phila-
delphia, and the first declaration of
independence was that put forth by
the Presbyterians of Mecllenburg
County, North Carolina. Having
helped to precipltate the conflict, they
helped to fight it out. In the battle
of the Cowpens General Morgan, who
commanded, and General Pickens,
who made all the arrangements for the
battle, were Presbyterian elders, and
nearly all under their command saws
trustworthy writer, were Presby-
terians. In the battle of Kings Noun
tain Colonels Campbell, Williams,
Cleveland, Shelby, Sewer, Hamilton
and Major James were all Presbyterian
elders, and the body OF their troops
were collected from Presbyterian set
tlements.' These two battles were of
no mean importance, because they
marked the turn in the tide of war.
1t would entitle the Presbyterians to
some recognition on an occasion like
this to mention the one fact that 'Old
Hickory ended his great career as an
elder in the Presbyterian Church. He
was typical Scotch -Irishman, well
fitted when once turned in the right
direction to illustrate the doctrine Of
the perseverance of the saints" Aside
from the active part which Presbyter
ians took in the struggle for independ
ence, adds the Atlanta Constitution. il
is also fact that our system of gov
ernment is based largely upon the
model of the Presbyterian Church.
This is due, perhaps, to the command
ing influence of Rev. John Wither.
spoon, who figured with conspicuous
prominence in the early affairs of this
country. The State of Tennessee since
the beginning has been strong and
active centre of Presbyterianism, and
the splendid growth which the COM
monwealth has enjoyed during the
past century of its Statehood is due in
large measure to the sturdy character
u its Presbyterian citizenship.

Some years ago the cashier of a
of England note, which he held
up to the light to make sure it was
genuine. In so doing, he noticed
some very indistinct red marks, as if
words had been traced on the front of
the note and on the margin, and out
of curiosity he tried to decipher them.
At length he made out the following
sentence:
''If this note should fall into the
hands of John Dean of Longhillmar,
he will learn thereby that his brother
is languishing prisoner in Algiers. )"
Mr.. Dean, on being shown the note,
lost no time in asking the Government
for assistance, and finally secured the
freedom of his brother on payment of
a ransom to the Bey. The unfortu-
nate man had been prisoner for
eleven years, and had traced, with
piece of wood for pen, and his own
blood for ink, the message on the bank
note, in the hope of its being seen
sooner or latter. THE Gentleman.

Woman Suffrage IN rlaine

Following are extracts from the an
nual address Of Lucy Hobart Day of Port
land to the State association held at
Hampden Corner, September %, 1898:
1854 marks the first authentic date of
any movement towards equal Rights
in this State, championed by Hon.
Thomas NJ. Hayes, and in the same wear
Miss Anthony spoke in Bangor on Wo-
mans Rights; also later in the same wear.
Caroline w. Dali and DR.. Harriet K Hunt.
In 1865, Lucy Stone lectured in Augusta
and Cornish. All this was the outcome
of the Seneca Falls convention in 1S4S.
The first movement towards organiza
tion in Maine, in 1868, turned on the eli
gibility of woman to act on school com
mittees. This movement was inaugural
ed by men, as all the aggressive suffrage
work has been in the State during its
various organizations and reorganiza-
tons; which goes to prove that ''way
down east there have been many broad
minded Lords of Creation,'' who are
willing to have some help in burden bear
ing. In 1868 local Suffrage Society was
organized in Rockland.
''1n 1871, Colby university was opened
to women, also Bates college. The first
petition sent was to the Legislature byClara
Fl. bennett of Portland, containing II
names, in 1871, though the exact date Of
the local organization in Portland is not

A Hot Time in Isenberg's.


On Monday afternoon the
crowds on Main and Walnut
streets were suddenly surprised TO
see a huge volume of black smoke
pouring out of the top of the lstn
berg building on the corner of
those two streets. In a few min
utes the fire department arrived on
the scene, sltho' no alarm WAS
given and no disturbance accomp-
anied the discovery of the fire,
The work done was prompt and
efectual, and in twenty minutes
after the hre broke out it was
completely subdued by the great
volume of water which was turned
on it. In q few minutes after the
Iirst smoke was seen every priva Q
hose in the neighborhood was
ready for work, and there was
actually no chance for the fire to
make any Roadway. This fire Is
the strongest proof yet offered Of
the inestimable value of Green
ville's system of wate}-~works.
The lse1235erg saloon is situated in
the centre of the business district,
and if the fire had occurred under
the old water system it might
readily have resulted in the de-
struction of that entire business
square included between Poplar,
Walnut, Washington and Main
streets,
1t is quite possible that the
property saved Monday might be
enough to pay the whole expense
of equipping the city with this, its
most useful and valuable possession.
Such work as was accomplished at
the Isenberg fire shows that a ser
ious cohtlagration is almost an inn
possibility in Greenville, and
should reduce its insurance rates
to q minimum,

A Brilliant Wedding.

1t is not remarkable that the
marriage of two young people so
universally esteemed in the com
munity as Miss Hennye Scott and
Mr.. Bernard B. Goldman should
have created such general interest
or been attended by 30 large ap
assemblage Of persgGagGil friends and
aequatntaIccs. Both the bride
and groom have spent most of
their lives in Greepyilie, and many
of the friends who assembled 10
wish them happiness ON their
united voyage had known and
loved them through many years.
Aside from the warm personal
feeling of interest which this union
awakened, the prominence of Miss
Scott and Mr., Goldman in society
and business made an event so i'm
portant to both an occasion of pub
lie note, and anticipation of the
wedding was general for months
before il was 5olemnized.
The Temple has never been
more beautiful with lights, flowers
and prafuse decorations than on
Tuesday evening, whom a great
assemblage packed it to overflow
ing to witness the ceremony. AT
5 o'clock the soft organ voluntary
50 skilfully played by Mr., H, A,

ing on the arm of her father.
Mr.. Sol. Coin, the best man, fol

The brides maids were elegantly
gowned in pure white, each carry.
ing a large bouquet Of ferns and

bride was an exceedingly rich and
handsome one, which well become
her graceful elegance. The inn
pressiye ceremony was performed
by DR.. Jos. Bogen, after which
the numerous friends of both
were entertained at a re-
ception and sumptuous banquet
at the home of the brides parents.
The popularity of the bride and
groom was attested by IS con
gratulatory kilograms, and one

plays of presents ever seen at a
