SERMON TO YOUNG MEN
The First of the Series s De-
livered at the Universalist
Church Last Night
BY The Rev. Effie K. n. Jones'
A Large Attendance.

The announcement that the first of a
series Of sermons to young men would
be delivered at the Universalis, churcn
last evening resulted in well flied
auditory.
Mrs. Jones took as her text, Haggai,
chapter l, verse Z; "Ihus saith the
Lord Of hosts: consider your ways"
She first spoke Of the magnificent
steamer, plowing its way across the
broad ocean. comparing with II the use-
less and dangerous derelict; OF the
powerful locomotive under control in
comparison with the engine running
wild; drawing the contrast between
serviceaole machinery and That which
is uncontrolled. "W bat VT admire is
Hol iutricacy of mechanism out the
power and fitness TO perform stated
work.
IN .ha affairs Of men, the church is
BASED upon creed. every political party
upon its platform. The creed and plat
lorn, are not expressions OF individual
opinion but rather the com 1ined wisdom
"f many minds, and express the pul-
pose which animates the whole body Of
men personally.
"Lifo is too brief for US to be able to
afford to dissipate our energies. We
should rather husband all our resources
and concentrate our energies toward
specific ends. While large vision of
the possibilities Of life is not always an
assurance of large accomplishments, it
is yeta prime essential.
"A young man with ambitions yet un-
realized. with powers unlried, is the
grandest exhibition of potsntiality the
world will ever witness. In order to
fully realize his powers his life must be
shaped by clear purpose, not neces-
sarily desire for fame or greatness. lie
should desire rather to do faithfully
whatever work he may undertake.
God may mean to teach him through
failures but only that man learns from
his failures who socks 10 do earnestly
the best his powers enable him to do"

FAREWELL PARTY.

The fact that large circle of friends
are sorry to lose Robert Edwards from
their midst this winter was evinced
Saturday night when about 40 OF his
acquaintances dropped in nj his residence
on Silver street to bid him good bye and
to wish him pleasant journey across
the Atlantic as he is to start for Scotland
tomorrow to spend the winter at his
former home in Aberdeen. The affair
was gotten up as surprise party and
it was a great success everyone having
A delightful time. One of the pleasant
events of the evening was the present
alton to Mr.. Edwards of an elegant gold
watch and chain with Foresters charm
as a token of remembrance from those
present. Tho gift was presented ny
William Downie who accompanied the
same by some very suitable remarks in
behalf OF the assembly. After this John
Angus sang selection entitled "l'm On
70 Philadel phia in the Morning" James
Reid gave recitation entitled 81 am
Not Mad" and Mrs. Downie sang
..Gallawatcr." Refreshments were then
served and the remainder of the evening
was spent in tripping ",he light f"n'
,asIicr to music furnished BY George
Angus and Thomas Sherriffs. me
affair was well gotten up ana Mr'
Edwards will doubtless think many
lines during his trip Of the friends who
rave him such royal send off.
MIR. Edwards will be accompanied on
his journey by James Stephens.

zie and Dyer assisted by Miss Healsy
and Mr.. Martin on the piano and the
audience realized that the best had been
saved till last.
The first number was the .Waltz
Song" rendered by the quarts,te,
which was encored to the echo, the quar-
Lette responding when recalled with The
"Song Of the Triton"
Miss Paige then sang tho "Creole
Love Song' in her usual manner, the
best possible, being recalled to bow her
acknowledgements for the generous ap-
plause of the audience.
The ddet, "Twilight Now Fades" bv
Mrs. Braley and Mr.. Mckenzie wes
much enjoyed by the assembly, and
the song, "Ihe Skipper" by Frank
Dyer also received merited encore.
Mrs. Braley then sang solo, 1.-The
Cuckoo" in delightful way, and was
obliged to return and bow in recognize
ance before the storm OF applause would
subside.
The quartette next rendered "Ys
Banks and Braes" in way that would

Guard Waltz" by Miss HealeY and Mr.
Martin. The sale of articles was then
continued till about ten o'clock.
The returns from all the booths have
not yet been made but enough is known
to make evident the fact that the fair
has been unusually successful and the
proceeds will probably be nearly five
hundred dollars.

ON THE ICE
Two Boys Come
Near Drowning
FIRST SKATING ACCI-
DENT OF THE SEASON.

As far rs known the first serious acci
dent that has occurred this season due Ia
breaking through the ice took place yes.

o'clock at the pond near Jones Brothers
sheds when two boys by tho name Of
Miller and johnson respectively wen,
down beneath the ice cold waters Of the
river and came very near to remainin.
there until tho breath Of life was extinct
They are boys between seven and
eight years of age, one of them is The
son of John johnson, and the other OF
Fred Miller.
They were crossing the pond intend
ing to 20 up to their Uncle's house on
the other side Of the river when they
came to place about midstream where
the ice was honey combed and they both
wen, through ut the same time. The
water is quite deep at this point and
their chances of getting out alive would
have been very small had not some OF
the boys who were skating there caught
sight Of their heads bobbing up and
down through the broken icc.
As soon as the skaters noticed what
mad happened there was rush for the
scene Of the accident and after much
difficulty the drowning boys were ex-
tricated from their predicamcnt. Win
ME Patch, one of those present laid dowd
al full length on the ice and in this way
was enabled to approach to the broken
edge. He graspsd each Of the boys and
then was hauled back TO the firmcr ice
by those behind him.
The two boys were pretty well OK
hausted but they were taken Immediate
ly to 5. D. Sibley's house where good
fire and hot fannsls soon brought them
back to their normal condition.

President Tuttle on the Proposed New
Freight Schedule.

Maine Railroad effectually disposes of
the so-cal!ed baltimore plan" to reor-
ganize the present basis of freight
schedules adopted by the railroads of the
United States by substituting a tariff of
so much per ton per mile.
This scheme is the outgrowth of an
effort on the part of the business mon of
baltimore to forestall any unfavorahle
result upon the export trade Of that city

of the joint Traffic Association, and il
is announced that they intend 10 petition
Congress to enact a law placing railroad
