investments OF Summer Visitors

RocKLAND, ME-, Nov. %. Charles w
Henry and four other prominent Philadel
phia men have been in this section since
Tuesday viewing the shore property from
Oakland to Ballard point with the view of
making an ex tensive purchase. They were
unable to obtain what they considered satis-
factory terms for the property near Oakland,
where it is understood they planned to erect
a large summer hotel, but on behalf of a
Philadelphia man named Harrison, they
bought the Amos Barrett farm, comprising
about so acres of valuable shore property,
and running from Mcintyre grove to the
Chattield property. w. f. Schwartz Of
Camden, who acted az an agent in the trans
fer, is engaged on plans for a summer home,
to be built this season for Mr.. Harrison, aud
he also has plans for seven more cottages for
Philadelphia parties The shore property
from Beauchamp point to Ogier's hill, in
elusive, is now in the hands Of summer re-
sorters. 1t comprises about $50 acres and
occupies stretch of shore line about five
miles in length. The scenery is almost un-
r1valed in that section, and a year or two
will probably see it dotted with summer cot
tages for wealthy and exclusive class of
visitors.

E. S. Pitcher of Belfast

Chosen to Direct the bangor Festival Chorus.
AT the meeting et he Bangor Festival
chorus in The memorial nariors On Thurs
day evening, L. s. Pitcher of Belfast was
elected director TO iake the place OF Arthur
HyGe o; Bath ', !iU ,tuctiiGti to serve tins
year. AT the close Of tile business session
which was one OF the Iiytliest ever held,
short rehearsal was held under The leader
ship of Pres. Harrington,
At the opening of the session Pres. Har-
rington read a letter from Mr. Hyde in
which he refused a second time to take the
directorship and in which, after thanking
the choristers for the honor wAIen they had
conferred upon him, he advised that they
choose another director Az once 50 that no
time should be lost in beginning work on
the music fer the ueXt festival
Notwithstanding Mr.. Hvie's emphatic
withdrawal, some OF the enthusiastic chorus
members acre OF the opinion that he couId
still be induced to change his mind and they
requested that hls name he placed on tine
list of candidates to be voted upon. On the
first ballot there was no choice, votes having
heen cast for Mr Hyde, Mr.. Pitcher, DE-.
Wasgatt and others A second ballot was
ordered when Mr.. Pitcher was elected by a
considerable majority.
The new director, Mr.. Pitcher. Is well
known among Bangor Musicians; fer 9ev-
eral years he has been at the head of the Bel
fast chorus and the good work done by the
singers from that city is evidence of his abll-
ity as a leader. He will begin his duties
here probably at the next rehearsal.

The Teachers Lecture Course.

The Belfast Teachers Club opened their
Friday evening at the High School room
The speaker was Rev. W. II. Wcude Of Cas-
tine, and his subject was "John Ruskin and
his mission" There was large attendance
and Mr.. Woude held the closest attention of
his hearers throughout. He first reviewed
the early life of Ruskin, and the effect of
his training then on his future life. John
Ruskin was the son of a wine merchant of
London and at the fathers death inherited
a legacy of debt, which he paid to the last
farthing. The father was lover of art and
the young man Inherited the trait to mark
ed degree. On their business travels through
out England they visited all the picture gal
leres, both public and private, where the
best works of art were to be seen, thus fos-
tering the young mans inherent love of art.
Ruskins mother was a devout Christian and
designed that her son should become an
Evangelical clergyman. With this end in
view she obliged him to read aloud regular
~ certain passages of the Bible, and the
training he thus obtained was the founda-
tion for his habits of industrious and pains
taking study. His mothers efforts We're
seconded by her sister, who in her zeal for
the spiritual welfare of the youth became
over-zealous and his life became wholly
changed. To thoroughly understand Ruskin
one should be familiar with the writings of
Wordsworth, although the two We're dissimi-
lar in many respects. Mr., Woude drew
comparison between the works of these two
great writer's, and showed how the reading
of the one would help to an understanding
of the other. When the Pre- Raphaelite
school arose Ruskin was one of its earl.es
and most constant advocates. The Pre-
Raphaelites claimed that art should be true
to life, and Ruskin adhered firmly to this.
Mr.. Woude then read a number of selections
from Ruskln's writings, showing some of
his finer thoughts in various lines. Ruskins
idea of love was as bold as his art, and in
this he was criticised severely in the
other. But it was not in use of words alone
that Ruskin excelled. He was a practical
reformer, and his charity found exercise in
a practical way among the poor. The speaker
closed with further quotations from Ruskin,
summing up of his finer thoughts as ex-
pressed in words.
The next lecture III the course will be by
local talent, soon after the opening Of the
winter term of school, in January.

The Church and Prohibition.

Rev. G. E. Edgett spoke at the Methodist
church Sunday evening on the relation OF
the church to the prohbitory law. The ad.
dress was delivered at the invitation of the
Belfast Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and the members occupied seats re-
served for them in the front A large con-
gregation was present. Miss CHM sang a
solo in the opening exercises.
Mr.. Edgett took the ground that we have
law enough, and that it is a good law. We
should, therefore, attempt to elect good men
to enforce the law rather than to devote our
attention to the election of legislators He
read an extract from the Union Signal, the
official organ of the W. c. I. u, stating
that happily places in Maine where liquors
are sold are scarce. To this he took excen-
tions, and read statistics from the Internal
Revenue department, showing that T. S.
revenue taxes for tine sale of liquors are paid
on 1908 places in Maine, a marked increase
over last year, and that in ten years the ar
rests for drunkenness have increased far in
excess of the increase of population.
The election of all officers who have to do
WIN tnt enforcement OF Jne laws should be
above party. Every sheriff, deputy State
constable, county attorney and Judge should
be man true to the best interests of the
people Tie speaker referred to the charges
made that business men do not take the in
te1est they should in the suppression of the
liquor traffic, to which he replied that the
business men as a rule would be willing to
do all in their power in that line if expe-
rience did not teach them that the majority
of the moves for prohibition accomplish little
in the way of reform and react by loss of Gus
tom upon such merchants as endorse them.
He does not believe man should be afraid
TO take stand for the right on account of
the loss of little trade, but he does not
blame man for not being willing to sacri-
fee his business when he knows it can do no
good The mission of the church is along
moral lines, rather than legal, but the church
should ever be found on the side of right, and
ready to uphold the enforcement of law. He
believes in moral suasion for the drunkard,
but the rumseller should be made to feel the
strong arm of the law. He closed with the
statement of his conviction that if the W. G.
I. U. and the other loyal women who desire
the enforcement of the law should unite
every rum shop in the State would be closed.
