Those who went for the purpose of hear
ing the rum question discussed were dis
appointed in that particular, though
they were privileged to see and hear the
lighting parson,' and to listen to an
hours address which bristled with his
enthusiastically peppery sayings.
Rev. Mr.. Pearson had been engaged
months ago, before he went into the
campaign. He was invited to come here
to attend the Biddeford missionary ami
versary, and tell the audience about his
mission work in Portland. 1t was be-
leved that in such an address he could
stir up new interest in the local mis-
sion, and bring about an increase of con-
tributions to it's support His address,
therefore, was about missions and not
about rum selling or rum drinking. ex-
cept incidentally.
Rev. @. K. Flanders, pastor of the First
Baptist church, presided at the meeting,
and in introducing the Portland sheriff
elect referred to him as Cum berIand
.county's honest man. The introduction
brought forth hearty round of applause
An unusual Sunday evening demonstra-
ton, even in Biddeford.
Mr.. Pearson remarked that the
''honest man" he had heard the most
about in the last few weeks was 'sHon-
est SAM Lord. and was unaccustomed
to hearing that adjective applied to
himself.
He related the story OF how he came to
establish Portland's Gospel Temperance
mission, 81 years ago. ST was secretary
of the Y. M. c. A. at that time, -
said he. "One day the memb ers of my
board called me into conference. They

which L speak, the members of the board
told me II L allowed such men to visit

date from that moment
"The next day hired rooms across the
street, procured dry goods box, cut it
in two, using one half for platform
and the other half for pulpit, and
opened the Gospel Temperance mission. -
Mr.. Pearson then, in his inimitabIe
way, traced the history of the Gospel
mission, pictured some of his experiences,
told stories about his meetings and his
visitations among the lowly, and then
read sections from the MISSIONS last an
nual report, showing what was done dur
ing the last year for the poor people who
attended his meetings and came to him
for aid.

DEVILS poor, and poor devils.'' He
pleaded for more liberal support OF the
mission. Pointing to City Missionary
Wakefield, he said: "The idea Of paying
that man salary of only $50 month for
the noble work he is doing among the
needy of this city. Why, there isn't one
Of your Biddeford rumseIlers that doesn It
get three times as much to live on
He said that since his election as
sheriff some people had expressed fear
that he would fOrsake his Gospel Temper
ance mission, but he had no such inten-
ton. His heart viii still be in his mis-
sion work, as we'll as in the other work
which his Office viii involve After
enumerating the benefits that Portland
has derived from his mission, he added:
And finally the mission has furnished
the county of Cum berland with new
sheriff. They rummaged all through the
Republican and Democratic parties, In
search of a fellow who had a backbone
instead of tape string, and at last came
to the Gospel mission for such feIIoW.''
In conclusion he urged the people to
give more literally to the city mission,
and not compel the city missionary to
breakfast on "wind pudding" He spoke
OF the blessing of giving, and said that
the poor of the cities are being pinched
a little tighter every year.
Mr.. Pearson's appeal had the desired
effect. The collection which followed bis
discourse was unusually bounteous
He has been invited by some of the
temperance people in this city to come
here three weeks later and give one of
his 'straight-from- shoulder temper
ance lectures. He has the Invitation
under consideration, and will send out
his reply in few days.

COLBY OUTPLAYED.

Providence, September 29.-Brown de-
feated Colby today in her first game Of
foot ball this season, 81 to 0. After the
first ten minutes Of the game, Colby was
forced to play on the defensive and was
not able to hold the mass plays of the
Brown men. BY several phenomenal end
runs by the Brown backs and continual
bucking in the line, the home eleven
scored three touchdowns, but failed to
kick a goal. In the second half, Brown
changed her line up, allowing eight
men to come into play. The ball was
kept in Colby's territory from the start
and before Colby men could get square
ly on their feet, Brown scored another
touchdown and Barblett sent the pail be-
twean the posts. During the last few
minutes of the game, Colby INDUCED
in punting, but was forced back and
the Brown men made the last touch
down and kicked the goal. The line up:

the back field contained the big and

less and evidently not in good condition,
yet had no difficulty whatever with the
