To the People of Maine:

To the People of Maine:
A national memorial association has
been organized for the purpose of col
Letting the funds necessary for the
erection of a suitable monument at tn,
grave Of William Mckinley. Auxiliary
associations have been appointed by
the governors Of the various states to
cooperate with the national associa-
ton in this noble work. The Maine
Auxiliary Association consists OF
eighteen members. representing all of
the sixteen counties of the State, and
| is made up as follows:
Androscoggin. Seth NJ. Carter, All
burn: AroOstook, X. w. Shaw, Houl-
| ton: Cumberland. VIM. H. Dow. Oscar
r. Wish, Portland: Franklin. ]. NJ. S.

The work of raising funds in each
county is under the immediate direc-
ton of the member or members repre-
senting it on the above State commit
tee. 1t is expected that active cooper
alton will be given in the work by lead
ing citizens in all the towns of the
State.
Wednesday. the Goth day of Janu-
airy, will be the 59th anniversary
of the birth of William Mckinley.
During his eventful and useful life he
was very fond of and took a wonderful
interest in children. l take the liberty
of suggesting that this day be known
as Mckinley day" and that at least
some portion of 1t be set aside by
all the schools Of Maine, as will be done
in other states Of the union, for special
exercises appropriate to the occasion,
also that each pupil who desires to do
so be given an opportunity to contrib
ute his or her mite to the Mckinley
memorial fund. I also suggest that on
the Sunday next preceding the 29th
of January the churches pay appropri-
ate tribute to the memory of our late
President and that those who wish it
may be given an opportunity to help
on with their contributions this great
work that shall testify through the
years to come to the love and esteem
ir which the American people cherish
the just fame Of one Of the greatest
men our country has ever produced.
The people of Maine should feel
pride in having their State take an
honorable and creditable position in
this great work, and should do their
full share in making it possible. Con-
tributions may be sent to the member
of the county committee or forwarded
direct to the treasurer, William H. Dow
at Portland, Maine.

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
THE cLuBwomsn.
Augustus Delegates Report Delightful and
Profitable Meeting At Dexter.

| augusta was represented at the mid
winter meeting of the Maine Fedora.
uon of WOmen's Clubs by Mrs
Charies e. Hunt, State president, Mrs
u. L. Neal, State corresponding secre-
tary, Miss G. p. Sanborn, member OF
the State Forestry committee. Mrs.
John V. Lane, delegate. and Mrs. G. r.
Campbell. visitor of Current Events
Club. They report two sessions, filled
with important business which called
out lively discussions.
The annual meetings of the Fedora
ton are held in October and are
marked by literary features, while the
large part of the business of the or
ganization is relegated to the eXecu-
tive board and the presidents of all
clubs in the State. This board holds
its sessions in the month of January,
alternately in Augusta and in any
other city or town with the club eX-
tending an invitation.
The Federation now has 1O4 clubs.
Two of this number We're added at
the midwinter meeting in Augusta
in January, 1901, four at the annual
meeting in Biddeford in October, 1901,
and seven at the meeting of last Tues
day. These Is new clubs represent
widely separated sections of the State:
Caribou. Old Town, Patten, Calais,
Wilton, Livermore Falls. Norway. Port
land and South Berwick.
The Dexter ladies arranged a very
pleasant informal reception for the
evening to which gentlemen friends
were invited, and presented a program
for entertainment, consisting of choir
solos, duets, trios and chOruses, also
readings and recitations which had
completed recent afternoons pro-
gram in the course of study on Russia.
This sample of the work done in the
club was most novel and interesting
and is exceptional in the history of
the State Federation. The purpose of
the Woman's Literary Club of Dexter
to give this evenings entertainment
was known to but few and it has been
demonstrated that the announcement
of a purely business session with no
literary exercises or other features
held out as attractions. is sufficient to
thoughtful women whose aims are high
and whose influence for good will be
increased in the home, the community,
the State. and as a part of the great
national Federation. Great credit is
due the Dexter ladies for the careful
arrangements for the meeting which
We're complete in every detail.
