. PLAIN TALK.
Rev. Mr.. nIcAllister breaches a sermo n
on the Rum Traffic.

Rev. K. S. j. McAllister preached
sermon last evening in the Pine street
church on the subject "The Illicit rum
traffic in Portland: Who Is responslb BILE
for iti' The vestry of the church was
well filed to lear this eloquent preacher
who dealt with the subject without gloves
and delivered stirring address. The
larger proportion of his audience were
women. He said that breakers of the
prohibitory laws were to be found in the
cities not In the rural districts. If the
infringement of an United States statu to
were involved the state would be filed
with deputy marshals from Kittery to
Calais until the law was enforced. The
government is primarily responsible for
this rum business by putting fictitious
va lue on liquor. Ii there were no taxes
on it people could manufacture 1t them
selves with little cost and there would
be no profit In the business for the sellers
of liquor. The speaker took the ground
that the law in Maine could be enforced
when the people really wanted 1t enforced
and would go to the ballot box and elect
officials who would do their duty.

THE FoRsKAKEN IDEAL.

Professor j. W. Churchill, d. D.. of
Andover Theological seminary, preached
yesterday at the High Street Congrsga-
tional church. In the morning his sermon
was on the "Forsaken IDEAL" and the
words of tbs text were from John O.,
67, 6s: "Will ye also go away. Peter
answered to whom shall we go, Thou hast
the words OF eternal life.''
DIR. Churchill dwelt with much force
upon these two points. Christ's appeal
to wavering faith and mans response
to that appeal. The purpose OF the ssr-
mon was to chow the futility OF leaving
Christ for other masters aud TO strengthen
personal faith In Christ as a powerful
Saviour and friend.

FAREWELL WORDS.
Mr.. Reeds Leaye-taking OF the
First Maine District.
Thanked HIs Constituents for Their
Generosity and conssaney.

Before leaving for New York on satur-
day the Hon. Thomas b. Heed addressed
the following letter TO tbs Republicans Of
the First Maine District:
10 the Rspuhlicans of the First Maine
District:
while am naturally reluctant to
obtrude myself again upon public atten-
tion even here at home; am sure no one
would expect me toleave the First Maine
District after so long service without
some words expressing t, you my appre-
citation OF your friendship and my graft
tude for your generous treatment. Words
alone are quite inadequate and I must
appeal to your memories. During three
and twenty years of political life, not
always peaceful. you have never ques-
TONED single public net Of mine. Other
men have had to look after their districts.
My district has looked after me- This
in the place where was born, where you
know my sEort oomings as well as do
myself, gives me right to be proud of
my relations with you. No honors are
ever qdite like those which come from
horne. 1t would not be Just for me to
withhold my thanks from those Demo-
Gratis who have SO often given me their
votes. This friendship can aok knowledge
with all propriety even in letter to
Republicans for both they and you know
that have never trimmed sail to catch
the passing breeze. or ever flown doubt
full flag.
Office as "a ribbon to stick In your
coat" is worth nobody's consideration.
Office as opportunity is worth sll con-
alteration. That opportunity you have
given me untrammelled in the fullest and
amplest measure and return you sin
cerest thanks. If have deserved any
praise 1t belongs of right to you.
Whatever may happen am sure that
the First Maine District will always be
true to the principles of Liberty, Self.

Atttmpt blade 10 burn the harm o
Jacob Bruins ON Cross street.

An attempt was made yesterday after
noon to burn the barn of Jacob Bruins
on Cross street and had 1t not been for
the prompt action Of Officers Skillings
and Hanson disasterous fire would have
resulted. II was about half past eleven
O'Clock when Officer SkiIlinRs was on
Cross street that he saw a Hebrew wo-
man come down the street on the run.
Shs was screaming at the top Of her voice
and was followed by a crowd OF children
and women who seemed to be well niab
crazed with fear. The officer soon learned
tine cause of the excitement and running
up Cross street saw smoke coming from
the barn Of Jacob Bruins which Is next to
the stable OF tine American Express COM
pany. The fire had evidently been started
by some persons who lighted ball OF
paper and crowded 1t through the crack
of the stable door thus setting lire to
some inflammable material inside the
barn. Officer Skillings seized big rock
and smashed the look Of the stable door.
He and Officer Hanson then succeeded In
extinguishing the fire after some lively
work. The damage done was trifiing. The
officers believe the fire was set by boys.
