There was literary treat at the
kceum of the church of Our Redeem

meeting against the ministers, offered
resolution to appoint a committee
to investigate the publication in The

Frsby Was cheeky in offering such a
resolution. The president, Mr. Mar

WIorei lawyers say what The BEE
had published, was as anxious to have
the committees report adopted as
Mr. Frisbv. The committee retired

HARBoR NOTES.
Items of Interest Picked Up Along
Shore.

Schooner Eleazer W. Clark of Portland,
sailed from Norfolk March "a, and ar
rived at st. Jago, March 30-six days pas
sage, said to be the quickest on record
between the two ports.
There was large fleet of weather
bound craft in the harbor yesterday The
schooner John B. Norris came in light.
The Memnon and Allandale are looked
for.
The Allan liner scandinavian, Capt. B.
T. Eastaway, came in at z o o'clock yester-
day morning. The chief officer reports
that the ship left Glasgow on Tuesday,
March H. and had rather rough pas
sage. There were strong westerly gales
a good part of the way over and for the
last two days dense fog enveloped her.
The Scandinavian brought over typical
Scotch cargo of about $50 tons. There
were 434 packages of clay pipes and 40
packages of bath bricks for Portland and
$50 boxes of pipes for Bangor. The re-
mainder of the cargo was confined to
Canada. Sixteen returning cattlemen
showed their papers to Inspector Elliott
and one stowaway was brought forward
70 give an account of himself. He said
his name was William Wier and he was a
Scotchman. He had his first papers all
right and as the. grounds upon which
he based his claims of landing he said he
was ianitor of the z. M. G. A. building
in Dayton, Ohio, in 1890. He had put in
nine months there and intended to be-
come citizen of the states again. He
gave his age as 35.
Inspector Elliot will communicate with
the secretary of the Y. M. G. A. at Day
ton to substantiate the stowaway's story
and it is quite likely that he will be re-
leased.
The big Scotsman of the Dominion line
sailed at 6. Is p. m. for Liverpool. She
took l6 first cabin, six second cabin and
SO steerage, full cargo, 23l head of cattle
and 100 horses.

vous yesterday morning and only one re-

MR.. HIGHT ON STEVENSON.

Mr.. Leroy l.. Hight lectured last night
building on Robert Louis Stevenson.
The audience while not large was in
thorough sympathy with the lecturer and
enjoyed MIR. Nights pleasing talk on the
great Scottish writer to the utmost To
begin with the lecture was not dry
statement of biographical facts, for it was
breezy, graceful and in fact Stevensonque.
if the word may be used. TO wander with
Mr.. Hight through the delightful works
of Stevenson, to view them from his
standpoint, to see Stevenson in his every
day life, to drink in with him the beauti-
full scenes OF his Scottish highlands, to
wander with him over strange seas and
through picturesque lands and finally to
dwell with him in balmyH Samoa with
the peaceful end of life's journey in sight,
was pleasure which the lecturers audi.
ence fully appreciated. Mr.. Hight
SKINNED here and there through Steven
sons essays, poems, novels, extracting
the honey from each one in turn for the
qualification of his hearers and passing
them by with few we'll turned phrases
the better to show their application or te
point to their beauty. Stevenson to Mr.
Hight is evidently an ideal but he deals
with his subject fairly bestowing no IN
merited praise, not INDUCING in any i'll
natured criticisms of those who have
criticized Stevenson.
