Last night was the first Of the
seventh week Of the revival meetings,
In every conceivable way this was the
greatest service Of the 81 services. The
chapel OF the Baptist church was filled
and every adjoining room was full.
Long before the hour for the service 10
open every chair was taken and a
large number were unable to find room
in the church.
Beyond q question the interest in
these revival meetings is on the in
crease. Next week will probably be
thu. Hood tide. Many are turning TO
the Christian faith.
Rev. Everett Lesher was the preach

her education, her Intelligent citizen
ship, her churches. With an her adj
vantages she still lacks an essential
thing, spiritual life. The reason for
this is that the people are given IN to
the worship OF wealth: they ar.. given
up To the search Of amusement: they
are lodged and ''clubbed' to death.
The remedy is to accent Christian
principles of living
The meeting, tonight, will be held
as usual at 7.3c Arrangements have
been made with two men from Gar

Several meetings OF the stockholders
were announced from time 10 time TO

A Communication.

Editors kennebec journal
The question Of taxing non-resi-
dents for the privilege Of hunting and
fishing III the lakes and woods OF
Maine is. believe, n healthy one for
discussion, and after reading the sew
eral articles pro and con, venture to
reply to the one of even date of an
eX-resident as he is pleased to style
himself. His argument seems to be
that he and his friends come to their
old homes in Maine and spend at
least $50. but they will have to fore
go that pleasure il q normal fee is
charged. Now, l for one, do not be-
lieve MI. Stewart could afford to sac
rifice that health-giving blessing
found in the woods of our State, as he
says in the pure air from the hills
and mountains; the smell of the pine
and fir. Is not the new life and vigor
TO the system. and rest to the over
worked brain worth $50? Or, as a mat
ter of fact. is it not the deer that he
is really after and the new, etc.
thrown in. Or does he expect the
State to furnish the air. scenery. new
life, vigor, etc, with the deer thrown
in? The state Of Maine has. and |
btiiINt W III bt III ltS treatment
to all non-r residents who wish to visit
her, whether they have been residents
or not And is there any good reason
why those who desire the freedom
they enjoy while here should not be
willing in Il small way to foster and
protect for their own pleasure what
the people (whether hunters or noD
Of Maine pay literally for. The good
old State of Maine will furnish the
woods and lakes, and non residents
can have their share Of the air. We
do not claim a monopoly on that. But
she does claim the game. and should
not be called on to furnish chromos
for all the world. The man who ex-
poets to get something for nothing.
should buy gold bricks. Mr.. Stewart
says il is safe TO say, that one third
of those who come here after deer do
not get one. What is the reason"
Will Mr.. Stewart tell US how many
that have left for their homes have
not seen dozens of deer while roaming
the woods? Whose fault is it? Our
commissioners will not allow cowbells
on big game unless you catch the
game first.
am reminded of certain non-resi
dent who after starting out hunting.
cautioned his guide not TO shoot any
game for him. Show me the deer
and / will do my own shooting was
the command. The guides response
was, alright. sir. but be ready to
shoot quick. The first deer sighted
was q fine buck, and the guide did his
part and the sport did the rest. His
magazine was full of shells, and when
his eye caught the prize, and before
he was aware of the fact that the
buck was not tied, every shell was
pumped in and out of the barrel of
his gun and onto the ground without
firing a shot. He said. BY Jove. 1
never touched him." / just mention
this as a reminder that il is not al
ways the fault Of the deer that he is
not tagged for Lawrence or Indiana
instead of roaming in his native
haunts. There is not prize in every
package.

Festival cocc.r+

The announcement thar " cban-
man will bring three fine artists and
give u concert here in March FIR the
cement Of the local chorus. is sufficient
70 arouse an interest with ali music
lovers, who recall the artists ana musi-
cal treats which have been heretofore
offered by this same conductor This
time he brings to us the great nrima
donna contraito OF the Grau Opera Co.
: Madame Isabelle Bouton who was
heard at the Festivals last fan and
who made such a Favorable immersion
that she was re-engaged. Were II not
for the fact that il is the Ianten sea-
son lii New York. and tina, sha is nm
der futurt contracts With Mr. Chan
mar. IL would not be possihIs m hiring
this great artist on such n ,our So it
il a rare chance thus offered RI the
residents of our town to hear This great
artist here, and at such a low nrice.
The other artists are new. ana make
their first appearance in Maine.
FRANCIS Archambault is of French
descent. IN fact he speaks but little
English. lie has alorious bass voice
of great compass and range, singing
baritone arias with great ease and
beauty, as well as the deem low tones
OF the bass solos. He has been called
by lrany, THE little PIancou of Amer
lea because Of the similarity of beau
ty in tone production ana color. He
creates a Juror wherever he sings and
is ropidly gaining an enyiabIe notori-
ETY.. Although still student he is an
artist and sings with much style and
finish. 1t is safe to predict that he will
captivate his audience here as he has
elsewhere.
Mile. Marie Josefa is a charming lit
tie violinist only II years old; vet she
has mastered her instrument. and plays
with great ease and skill. She has just
returned from her studies in Europe
with Caesar Thomson, who predicts a
brilliant career for her, and has given
her letter with. his endorsement of
her ability. stating that she has genius
temperament, skill and perseverance,
and is surely an artist who will make
q Eame and fame.
Mr.. Chapman will himself accom-
pany these artists, and will manage
all Tor the best possible interest of the
Festival Chorus and these artists.
The Festival Chorus under the direc-
ton of its own local conductor, Mr..
Cain, will sing several numbers; and
we shall all feel that we are having a
slight taste of the great Festivals of
the fall. Many of our music lovers
cannot leave home and business and
20 to the musical centers where these
Festivals are held: but all, can spare
one evening and the small amount OF
admission fee and hear this great con-
Ger: right in their own town. Secure
the tickets early and enjoy this treat.

S9th year, James Fergus, a pioneer
of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Montana,
is dying at this place, the county seat
OF Fergus county, that was named in
his honor. His family have been sum-
moned to his bedside.
The aged pioneer is one of the most
respected men in Montana, and has
played a large part in making the
state. He was born in Scotland and
came to America with his parents
when 10. He lived in the wilds of
Wisconsin, then moved to Chicago,
spending the winter of 1867 there.
He moved to Minnesota in 1854 and
founded the town of Fergus Falls.
named in his honor. Seven years later
he started across the plains from Min
nesota with an OK team for Montana.
He was in q wagon train and there
were frequent brushes with the Indi-
ans and several thrilling experiences.

What is thu best telephoned city in

the answer. In that city, with a popu-

phones, or sixty-two per thousand. II
Europe, Copenhagen Is probably the
best telephoned city, with 1871 tele-
phones to its 312,859 Of population,
equal to f%orty-nine per thousand. In
Copenhagen, too, the best conditions
for the public exist, although the rates
are relatively as high as thosedn Amer

favorably with these figures. At the
