ANARCHISTS LESS RABID.

Chicago, November 11.-Herr Most was
the orator here tonight OF the 18th ami
versary of the execution OF anarchists
Parsons. Fisher, Spies and Eungel. The
meeting was held In Central Music hall.
The place was free OF uniformed police
men, but two city detectives stood on the

speakers was OF frequent occurrence ut
the celebration.
Except for the notable increase in the
number OF attendants and the softening
OF the language used the meeting differed
from the previous annual gatherings only
in that Mrs. Lucy Parsons was conspicu-
GUS by her absence and that big United
states flag was displayed with the red
flags used In the decorations OF the stage.

Few Bravsd IL TO See Fort Prebls sol-
dters Play.
Only football enthusiasts had the cour-
age to face the cold wind OF Saturday to
see the soldiers from Fort Preble play the
Newburyp)r t A. A team and there were
not many of these. The crowd numbered
less than two hundred, not counting the
ever present aggregation OF boys. The Wis
iting team played clean, gentlemanly
game, surpassed in team work, in fast
playing and won BY a score OF sixteen
to five. Fort Preble's only touchdown
was made more py luck than anything
else. The soldiers fought hard but did
not seem able to stand up before the
onslaughts OF the Newburyport players
The visitors opened big holes in the sol.
diers' line through which they pushed
their plays for big gains. Tney were
also successful In running the soldiers
left end but when they attempt to make
gains around the end defended by Coon
they were not so fortunate. 1t was n
rather pretty game TO witness, however,
the aggressive, snappy work OF the visit
ors being as good as any seen here this
season.
Preble kicked OF and the Newburyport
half backs BY alternate line backing made
big gains from the beginning Especial
ly did they find 1t easy 20 put their plays
through Raynor. Tine soldiers finally
made q desperate stand near the center OF
the field and Lawson and Shade foi the
soldiers made good gains around the end.
They tried some line buoking with fair
success and worked the ball to Newbury-
port ten yard line where they were held
FOR downs and the bali went to the visit
ora.
Newburyport began to recover their lost
ground slowly and we're fought stubborn
" over every inch OF the ground. when
within twenty-five yards OF the soldisrs'
goal The Prehie line went to pieces and
Colby went over for touchdown for the
Newburyp port team. A try at goal was q
failure and ths score was tive to nothing
Raynor kicked OF again for the soldiers
ana the bail went TO Pope on the Is yard
line, He made a bad tumble OF it and the
ever present quarter back OF the SOL
diers, little Jervey, was on top OF 1t like

yards and on the third down with ten to

weak spots In the soldiers line, making
big gains and X. Shepherd after few

In the second half Newton kicked of

Htm.

Yarmouth, November f1.-There was a
very Large attendance ut the First Parish
church last evening 90 hear tbs address
by Rev. s. y. Pearson, sherin-elect OF
Cumberland county. The choir rendered
special music. Prayer was offered by
Rev. o. X. Crosby Of the Central church.
In introducing the speaker the pastor oil
the First Parish church read letter re-
ceived BY himself from Senator Frye as
follows:
Rev. @. ID. Crane.
nv Dear Sir:-T did not coy precisely
what am reported TO have said. Inc
meeting TO which you refer was called In
relation to liquor selling In Lewiston,
and what L said was: My deliberate
Judgment Is that there 10 no worse man
to be found than our rumsalier, anu a
every rumselier In the state OF Maine were
In jail today, the state would % ten
thousand times better of than 1t is now.
You must remember that the liquor sell
ers In our state were not only dealing out
their poison, but they were doing it In
violation OF law.
/ am, very truly,
VIM. r. Frye.
Mr.. Crane remarked that he thought IL
hardly fair that those who are 20 fond OF
quoting Senator Frys on Cuba, or on the
Philippine question, shoul1 altogether
ignore what he has said about rumssiiing
In Maine.
: MIR. Pearson spoke al considerable
length, and with all his characteristic
viRor and direcsness.
j MIR. Pearson asked for the hearty
corporation Of the people OF var
mouth in making his administration
success. Mr.. Pearson ridiculed the idea
that the rigid enforcement of the prohi-
bitory law viii be business calamity to
Portland. He declared that all the talk
made since his eleotion about closing
hotels was moonshine, and said thas one
hotel man In Portland had told him that
at a time when he had no bar the annual
profits were all the way from four to ten
thousand dollars. In asking Tor the
prayers OF the people he said II was no
empty request as already temptations mad
come to him sufficient to stagger any or
binary man. Inc fight 10 not against
alcohol as a medicine, but against aiconoi
rs a beverage. / say to every druggist;
"You will not be disturbed unless you
are In the rum business. III you are. you
had better get OUT MIR. Pearson SAID ne
thought there should be q place where
people who believe in the uss OF alcohol
as a medicine can get IL without being
compelled to violate law"

the elections In the United States have
been quietly received here. Most Of tha
Americans and foreigners are gratified
at the reelection OF Mr.. Mckinley, as
indicating that there win be no change
In policy toward the Philippines.
So far as the Filipinos are conce rned,
no noticeable change In the situation
has ensued, nor is any likely to occur
In the immediate future. They are for
the greater part non-committai. News
OF the outooms will slowly work It's way

that Mr.. Bryan would certainly be elected

The Weaver left Fernandina, Fla Oc-
tober l6, with q cargo of 42o, 600 feet OF
hard pine lumber, part OF which was car
ried on deck From the very outset
weather of great severity was oncoun-
tered.
AT 80 O'Clock Thursday afternoon
the schooner anchored six miles west OF
the Handkerchief, in Vineyard Sound.
At nightfail 1t was blowing almost q
hurricane That night the passengers
and crew were ordered to- lash them
selves to the rigging The forcs OK the
wind and waves swayed the vessel In
terrible manner anu finally abe parted
her heavy anchor chains almost sim ul-
taneously ana began to drift.
The terrible situation had Its effect on
Miss Emerson, and she finally grew
weaker from exhaustion and fright un-
I'll her Iifeiess body hung by the lashing
in the rigging. The action OF the waves
soon tore tine clothing from the remains.
At 3 80 a. m, the schooner stuck on
Handkerchief Shoai and. with an awful
lurch, capsized and lay with her star
board sids and thres masts under water.
Inc mate was plunged beneath the
waves, but succeeded In ciinging to the
mast. The captain and little girl, the
steward and the two members OF the
crew Magnussen and Holman, were
drowned.
The deck cargo OF lumber was flying
all about and second Mate Olsen re-
ceived severed injuries to both hands by
having them crushed between pieces OF
lumber.
Mate kearney, after an almost super
human effort, succeeded In reaching a
position near the mizzen-mast by jump
ing upon the boards which formed part
OF the deck load. Here the four linen held
on for over an hour when the City OF
Macon hove In sight and rescued them
after two hours hard work In small
boats. The Myra 5. Weaver was three
