separation ours is. Our paths
meet, we form friendships and for
a time travel the same path, or we
sojourn on parallel lines. Then
comes divergence or our lines cross
and we pass on in different dlrec-
tons separating for time, per
haps for all time. To and fro we
are carried by winds and currents
on the sea of life. These are days
of separation; our visitors are turn
ing their faces homeward and we
are singing: Shall new acquain-
lance be forgot?
The Literary Club gave a ban
quet and a farewell Tuesday even
ing to a number Of the members
who are returning to their north
ern homes. The program consist
ed of social converse, instrumental
and vocal music, several pieces
rendered by the Pinebluff Corpet
Band, refreshments, impromptu
readings and speeches in response
to toasts given by Mr.. Robert S.
Campbell who performed the role
of POSTMASTER in his most inimit-
able manner. Then the fare wells
were spoken, and with many re-
grets our northern friends took
their departure on the midnight
train. To-day there is an aching
void which only time can heal and
remove.
re event of the season was the
RI \ >,tion given by Mayor J. w.
Pope and wife on Thursday even
ing, April 10. The high esteem
in which they are held was shown
by the large attendance. 1t was
very pleasant and enjoyable occa-
sion and withal a brilliant and
dressy event. The rooms were
very tastefully decorated, the mu-
sic most excellent, the refresh
ments fine and daintily served
and all attentions perfectly rem
dered. This with the cordial greet
ing and good cheer, the freedom
of social converse and the beauty
of dress made the occasion one
long to be remembered.
Some of the visitors returning
home are, Mrs. MCGEE, Mrs. Bailey
Mrs. May, the Misses Dixon and
Mr.. Fred Delhi, all Of whom have
been with US long time and will
be greatly missed.
Rev. &. H. Hastings and wife
were called home because of the
severe illness of Mrs. Hastings
sister; they were pleased with the
place and charmed with the South
land and intended to remain I'M
til the end of May. AS Mr.. Has
Fings expressed it, they departed
with regret and would be home
sick for the South until they can
return.

The Baptist church Of Westbrook ten
dered call to Rev. G. 3. Ilsley, D. ID.
Of Bangor to become their pastor, and
the society has received word Of the &C
ceptance Of its call. Rev. DR.. Ilsley was
formerly pastor of the Second Parish
church of Bangor, resigning his passionate
about two months ago.
DR.. Ilsley is to commence his pastoral
labOrs at once, preaching his first sermon
the first Sunday in October. The pros
poets of the church are better than for
some time past. The church has for
several years been without regular pas
tor, having had supplies from Portland
and vicinity from time to time. A year
ago last summer the pulpit was supplied
for three months by Rev. W. B. Whitney
Of Boston, at that time divinity student.
During the summer months the church
has been thoroughly renovated and re-
paired, and in many ways the prospects
for the future are brighter than they have
been since their regular pastor resigned
his pastorate several years ago on account
of his health.

Two years later, when only 27 years Of

ford Municipal court and had the dist1nc-
ton OF being the youngest man that ever
sat on the municipal bench in Maine. He
served two terms.
In 1894 he was elected mayor Of Bid
deford. being the first Republican in II
years to fill that Office. The naxt year he
was reelected by an Increased majority,

widow, who has been very successful in
newspaper work and other literary lines.

pendence."

FEsSENDEN DIDN'T SAY IT.

Stamford, Conn, September 28.-Joe
Manley says Sam Fessenden never made
that widely quoted remark about the
Almighty's hatred OF quitter at the
Republican national convention in 1896.
The other day one Of a party of Meriden
Republicans, engaged in political CONVEX
sation, made reference to the reported re-
mark of Fessenden to ManIey and COM
mended it and its author, whereupon
another man surprised those present by
declaring that Fessenden never said any
thing Of the kind, at least he never said
it to Mr.. Manley. This lei to a dispute.
The conclusion arrived at was that one
of the men should write to Mr.. ManIey at
the Republican national committees
headquarters in New York and ask him
directly and briefly whether Mr.. Fesssn-
den had ever declared to him that "God
Almighty hates GUTTER" or 'The AL
mighty hates a gutter p That letter was
despatched on Monday. Mr.. ManIey lost
no time in answering it. His reply fol-
lows;
"My Dear Sir:-In answer to your let
ter of the 24th inst.,I can say that 1 don't
know, for he never made either remark to
me-"
