Speaks of the Falmouth Hotel.

dent, at the opening, spoke Of numerous

ton Home Journal and VIM. E. Wood of

tation of President Boothby and as they
had just been looking over the Falmouth
hotel, were invited to express their i'm
preston its possibilities of being success
fully converted into first class popular
hotel.
Mr. Waugh said that having great faith
in tho rapid increase of summer travel
to Portland, which he considered as pos
sessing attractions and beauties as q sum
mer resort unsurpassed by any other sec
ton of the country, he believed that the
Falmouth hotel in its substantial foun-
dation, and model superstructure, with
such Improvements as are now contem-
plated by the Brown estate, will make
house thus modernized and furnished,
equal in attraction to that of any other
New England city. He did not regard
the temporary closing for repairs and re-
furnishing rs in any way detrimental to
| its future successful opening. for it can
not fail of popular success in good hands.

Since it hath pleased Almighty God to
take from us the accustomed presence Of
our dear friend, Mark p. Emery, we
would be submissive to the Divine pleas
ure. Yet we fain would give voice to our
grief as we recall:
The more than sixty long and faithful
years of interest and service for the well
fare of the First Parish, in which much
time and care and strength have been SO
freely spent for its best preservation and
influence.
The twenty five years he has filed the
office of deacon; and both by wise counsel
and generous initiative has guarded and
kept the traditions of our religious insti-
tuition in all purity and faithfulness,
having been most keen for it's best life
and growth.
The active efforts he has ever frrthered
for the association of our churches, both
in the state and IN the nation giving of
his wisdom and his work for the building
up of the common religious life, for the
administration of the funds of benef1cence
and the organization of just and proper
measures for Christian ends and aims.
The high and striking example OF
Christian manhood which through him
has been revealed in our city's life; the
exemplary business career through sixty
three years of honorable negotiation with
his fellow men; u domestic life of unusual
joy and felicity q noble character marked
by poise of purpose. most persistent in
dustry and an old age of Christian peace
and hope.
