THE Rowland DRY GOODS
COMPANY.

In planning the new store
we arranged for plenty of light.
In the dress goods section, the
cloak room, the upholstery
store, even in the basement
crockery department, it is I'M
usually light. Some merchants
rather like Ito have it dark.
We have nothing to hide.
The last of that 46-inch mo-
hair cheviot at SOC a yard is
now on the counters When
t'sgone we shall have no more
at the price. 1t is a particu-
larly handsome fabric, worsted
finish. wide vale, and we'll suit
ed for tailor-made or ordinary
costumes.
It's not easy to talk about
any particular thing in the
cloak room; SO much there
that's seasonable, pretty and
low priced.
For the children there are
some boucle jackets at S.;
such value they're going fast.
They're two>toned, black in
relief on red, blue and brown.
Notched sailor collars and
deep cuffs, both finished with
imitation chinchilla fur make
them very natty.

family May Be synonymous

At the evening service at The Main
Street Baptist Church last evening,
Rev. Leo Boone Thomas took as the
subject of his discourse, Profanity"
saying among other things:
Love to God is the .1rst and great
commandment therefore an act Of IT.
reverence toward him is the greatest
sin. Swearing in Gods name is as
much worse than stealing as divine re-
latlonships are higher than human.
The name Of him before whom the
very seraphln hide their faces the
foul lips of a coarse or thoughtless man
profane. Our life is full of unwilling
deeds. We sometimes Use profanity
and are not conscious of it. Again, we
sometimes mean the same, although we
do not use profane words.
When at your woodpile you split
wood especially vehemently because
you are angry it is as some old saint
once said of slamming a door, wood
en- oath" Yes, Satan is represented as
saying to an old deacon, ''It is not-sin-
full to say, Gee whiz, # that is what
you mean" but is it? Again there is
the almost unwilling deed Of strong
emotion. In all of these, there are nit
igating circumstances to some extent
lessening the sinfulnass, but what ex-
cuse is there for deliberate 1ebellious
profanity? The taking of the Creator s
name in vain. AS a nation, we have
many things to be proud of, but Ger
tainly not of the fact that abroad we
are known as the nation of 'sWearerS.'

of people who are on the earth at the
present time. The founder of the sect
has been referred to as a myth, but the
Jews are not a myth and they are very
much in evidence in all parts Of the
world.
Most of the infdel leaders have been
educated in the Christian faith; in fact
intidelity has done nothing to educate
lelders. A majority of leaders of this
work are ex-clergymen or clergymen' 5
sons who were brought up in religious
faith, and who as a general thing were
the black sheep of their families.
Bible miracles are laughed at but
we have miracles at the present day. If
several centuries hence people read that
on certain morning a fleet of vessels
sailed away to a foreign country, en-
tered harbor and destroyed a fleet
without losing a single man killed, or
that another large fleet was destroyed
IN another part of the world with only
one man killed, they will be inclined to
be skeptical. This miracle, however. has
happened within our own observation.
There is much infidelity in Worces-
ter that Christians should get after
The trouble is that infidels know little
OF the Bible and Christians but little
more, in many cases. There is but one
way TO overcome the arguments that
are based on slight knowledge of the
Bible, and that is by study.
'Infideity must be met and overcome.
and by Gods help, men will not be
cheated out of their birthright."
Mr. Hastings was interrupted many
times during the course of his remarks
by applause, his bright and conclusive
arguments commanding the closest at
tenton until the close of his address.

r. w. Brigham.
AT the funeral of the late DR.. Franklin
Whiting Brigham, held at the Congrega-
tional Church at Shrewsbury on Saturday
afternoon, full and accurate account of
which was published exclusively in The
Sunday Spy, the following poem, written
by an admirer of the doctor, was read
during the exercises by Rev. r. P. Walker.
1t will be read with interest by the many
admirers of the late DIR. Brigham, both in
this city and in the surrounding towns:
o death, where is thy sting?
o grave, where is thy victory
For such as he.
Who enter the eternal gates
So royalty.
Serving his fellow-men
As he who died upon the cross
Proclaimed the way
BY which the soul should find its God
Eternally
No thought of self did veil
The Masters law, but willingly
He gave his life
For lowly friend or high
Most loyalty.
Thy neighbor as myself"
Or love, it was his creed,
And by brave deed
His noble soul scared to high heaven
All gloriously.
o DEATH where is thy sting?
o grave where is thy victory
For such as he,
Who enter the gates
So royalty?

The nomination of the boy Deignan to
a cadetship at the Annapolis Naval
Academy is more than mere reward
for his services as a member of Hob
sons Merrimac crew. 1t is healthy
and inspiring example to all jackies in
the service. 1t is the embodiment of the
merit system Of promotion. Few out
side of the apprentice class would be
eligible to cadetship, on account of
their age, but nevertheless, the demon
stration that man may rise from the
ranks to an officers station must have
an excellent moral effect. This suggests
reflections upon the high standard of
| the personnel of the navy, and the sur
prise and incredibly of the Spanish
officers at Hobson's assertion, that the
fine fellows who composed the Merri-
macs crew We're but fair samples of
the rank and file of the American navy.
Here comes DR.. George w. Field of
the experiment station at Point Judith,
and AYERS that CLAIMS are disappearing
from the entire north Atlantic coast,
and unless scientific efforts are made to
propagate them, the delectable clam
will disappear from the market or be-
come as rare and expensive as canvas
backs or terrapin. Here, then, is a new
opening for the honest and hardy fish
erman. Let him invest in a clam farm.
The plot must be sub-dvided so that no
section need be dug up oftener than
once in three or four years, and then
in few winters after he has sown his
bivalves, he may reap a harvest of five
hundred bushels of CLAIMS per acre,
which is said to be considerably more
than the present average yield. The
sharp demand of the market, the re-
moval of adult specimens, the destruc-
ton of others in the digging, and the
dumping of sewage and other refuse of
cities into the sea, are the principal
causes that are fast discriminating
them.
