FAST DAY A MYTH.

What was Said at the Hearing in Augusta.
AUGUSTA, ME-, Feb. 10. The act to
abolish Fast day and substitute in its
place Patriots day was the subject of a
racy hearing before the Judiciary COM
mittee this afternoon. Rev. George F.
Degen of Augusta and Mr. James E.
tiser, appeared in behalf of the measure.
II was discovered before the close of
the hearing that Fast day is very much
of myth, SO far as any legal standing
goes.
Mr. Degen spoke at length in behalf
of the bill, saying that the day had
come to be observed by the celebration
of games of baseball and public sports,
and that no one for years has thought
of keeping it as religious fast day.
The churches are not open on that day,
and when they are, 10 one goes, except
the minister and few of the deaconS,
he asserted.
81 do not object to fasting and pray
Ell" said Mr.. Degen. Il belong to a
church that sets apart two days out of
each year for fasting, and observes
them. My church sets apare 40 days
in Lent and these are days of alb
stinence, and Friday in each week is al
SO day of abstinence and is quite gen
orally observed; so that do not object
to fasting and prayer but | do object to
the setting apart a day of fasting and
prayer.
"When it is generally observed as
day of rivelry, feasting and sports, it is
sham in the name of religion.
There seem to be shams enough
continued Mr.. Degen. at is bad
enough to remain under that living lie
which is forced upon us under the pro-
hibitory law. ] cannot find one person
who believes that this sham of Fast
day should be longer continued
He spoke of the institution in Massa-
chusetts of Patriots day, which marked
the first blood shed in the revolution
and in the civil war as well.
Rev. Mr.. Dunack of Augusta was ask
ed by chairman Manley if he wished to
appear in opposition to the bill. "My
objection to Fast day is this he re-
piled, mot the Fast day is disgrace,
not that it is farce; but simply that
the people do not observe it and it has
failed to be of any real religious sig
nificance."

The climax of the season in historical

Great Wiley Slide in the White Noun

holds the readers interest through
every page of this delightful book. The
book is very handsomely bound and
printed.

The Piscataquis Observer celebrated
its 65th anniversary by the publication
of a special number which is most
creditable piece of work and OF much
interest to the pretty twin towns of
Foxcroft and Dover. Its 60 pages are
filled with well written articles relative
to the past and present of the two
towns and there are over 100 excellent
half tone pictures of their professional

the historical work of the publica-
tjon was done by Edgar c. Smith,
judge of the Dover municipal court.
1t is of interest to note that the
founder Of the Observer was George V.
Edes, who learned the printers trade
with his uncle, Peter Edes. This Peter
Edes was the irst printer in Augusta,
then Hallowell, and he later moved his
establishment in an OK team over to
Bangor, where he established the first
paper in that city. The present editor
of the Observer Liston p. Evans, has
been associated with the paper since
