The entertainment given by Prof
Adams Tuesday evening did not at
tract very large audience. His read
ings gave great pleasure, they always do,
but on this occasion he appeared in a

mented with several subjects, and GER
tainly had them well under control, per-
forming many difficult feats. The Pro-
lessor might have succeeded in hypno
tizing Jacob Stern at the entertainment,
had Jake not left the hall. One person
was hypnotized early in the afternoon
and placed in L. F. Jones' show window,
where he remained until 6 O'Clock, the
bewilderment of all beholders. Another
was hypnotized and while under the in
fluence had tooth extracted by DR..

MORE CHINESE CAUGHT.

Last Friday sealed car, containing
cotton waste was received here from
Montreal, its destination being Boston.
When customs officer Hiram B. Farmer
unsealed the car to make the usual ex-
animation his surprise may perhaps be
better imagined than described to find
on sliding back the car door three China
men confronting him. These We're
quickly secured, and further search of
the car disclosed three others in hiding.
The six, all young fellows, were taken to
the cage, and later to Newport and
lodged in Jail. They had among them
between $50 and 500. Somebody in
Montreal interested in getting this class
of men into the United States is evi.
IDENTIFY well posted as to destination OF

The horse attached to one OF the
Bartlett Co.'s delivery teams, while wait
ing near the station Tuesday morning,
was little scared by an approaching
train and started for the stable. Several
attempted to stop it by waving their
arms which only increased the animals
fright and cansed it to run the faster

as to twist it, and young boy, Cleophas
Nadeau, who was in the wagon was
thrown out and badly hurt. DIR. Ellie
dressed his injuries, and expects the
little fellow will be all right in few days
After colliding with the hydrant the
horse proceeded to the store and readily
obeyed the "whoa" of one of the clerks
Too many youngsters, incapable O
handling horse, are permitted to ride
in delivery wagons, and the practice
should be stopped ere something more
serious happens.

BASEBALL,

The Cardinals journeyed to Gorham
last Friday and easily defeated the ball
team at that place by score of II to 4,
Howard who was pounded by the same
team the week previous, had the Cor
ham batsmen guessing all the time,
once tanning three men with the bases
full, aud he was given good support.
Heath who pitched for Gorham was hit
hard and often. The score:
1924 567S
Cardinals 20 3 0 3 3 ] 0-l2
Gorham 900 2 90 | / 4
The Cardinals were defeated Wedn es.
day afternoon by the Fabyan Mountain
House team, by score of ! to /. The
Cardinals outbatted their opponents but
punched errors at the same time the
Fabyans punched hits. Both Howard
and Coulombe outpitched Dudley the
visiting pitcher. The Cardinals were
guilty of some decidedly stupid base
running, no less than nine men being re-
tired on bases.
Friday of this week the boys go to
Newport to play the team representing
that town.

to make fun" of the Sunday school
will no doubt please all those who sneer
at the old-fashioned ideals of religious
training that have given to this nation
its best men and women; but would it
not be wiser to respect the view of that
large majority which, despite the un-
questioned growth -eiaselfshness and
worldliness in these strenuous times of
money making, still believe in the
church and the Sunday school of our
plain fathers and mothers? Writers
might well employ their gifts and pub

of endeavor than in holding up to ridi-
cule the church and the Sunday school,
the minister and the Sunday school
teacher. After all, isn't there enough of

ONCE MORE
Comedy to Be Repeated
at Opera House
Tonight.

The Lottery of Love- the comedy
which filed the opera house with roars
of irresistible laughter ON Saturday
evening, will be repeated tonight. AL
though the Neills had already announ-
ced this bill a special request for it's
repetition has been sent in from the
fleet, by the comrades of those who
We're lucky enough to be among the
laughers of Saturday.
The Lottery of Love" seems to par
ticularly excite the risible faculties
of the navy. There is a breezy old
salt in the play whose sayings and
doings met with ready appreciation,
While Miss Andrews horn-pipe, COM
bined with her bloomers fairly brought

at beholding his mother-in-law once
more installed by his fireside caused
one mirth loving sailor 20 fall off his
seat in sheer ecstaey and the action of
the piece was often interrupted until
the house refrained from shouts of
laughter.
A matinee, in response to numerous
suggestions, has been arranged for
Christmas afternoon when the Chris
tian'' will be presented; the same bill
will be given Christmas night. The
Christian made very strong i'm
