North Arson Methodist Camp
meeting.

Another of the North Arson camp
meetings has gone into history. The
meetings were well attended, especially
upon the Sabbath. The usual number
of tenters and cottagers were in evil
dence. Each day of the encampment
was we'll filled with meetings. 1t was a
time for work. People who came to
the grounds found no lack of meetings
to attend. Such men as Adams, On
stott, Joscelyn, Palmer, Lapham, Hanna
ford, Canhan, Dunnsck, and others
preached the old gospel story with their
usual energy and power, And every
one felt that this was one of the best
campmeetings held on these grounds
for years. There were some there who
sought a deepening of their religious
experience, others who were seeking
God for the first time in their lives.
The number of those who were convert
ed is not known, but quite a number
were at the altar, first and last, during
1hO hOobihBS' uO oluol uudluGdluou vi
the grounds was excellent.
Miss Rosa Santee, deaconess from
Portland, had charge of children's and
young peoples meetings. By her beau
tiful Christian character and tactful
teaching she won the hearts of all who
heard her. On Sunday, Rev. E. T.
Adams preached in the morning, Rev.
Daniel Onstott in the afternoon, while
in the evening platform meeting was
held, at which time Revs. D. Onstott, j.
B. Lapham, G. B. Hannaford, H. S.
Ryder, and Robert Scott spoke briefly.
Mr.. E. Taylor of Skowhegan had
charge of the singing. The favorite
song of the campmeeting was "There is
Power in the Blood" And it should be
said now, when the temperance ques-
ton is 30 strongly before the people of
our state that the campmeeting associa-
tion formally approved Mr.. Lang's ad
ministration and pledged itself to stand
by him regardless of party utilization.
This act was significant inasmuch as the
association touches the hearts and is
near to many of the common people OF
our county. Union Advocate.

Dear Sir: You sell goods and give
full measure Is a pleasant way Of
doing and it pays, besides.
We do it for the same reason, and il
has made us the foremost paint house
in the United States.
Short weight and authorizations are
the vices of business They are a natural
response to the demand for cheapness
The world is full OF them-the grocery
world and the paint world, and every
kind OF world
You know and We know that it doesn'i
pay. People change their grocer OF
paint man as soon as they find it out.
We don't know about groceries-you
tell your people about them-the full
measure and unadulterated paint is
Devoe Lead and Zinc.
Fewer gallons-takes less Devoe Lead
and Zinc than of mixed paints to paint
a house Wears longer-twice as long as
lead and oil mixed by hand.
Yours truly,

The Special Session.

The Maine Legislature assembled in
special session, Tuesday the 1st instant,
completed its business and adjourned in
the afternoon. Senator Goodwin OF
Somerset for the committee on revision
of the statutes submitted his report. In
one instance only did the committee
insert new legislation and this was to
remedy a defect in the law under which
patients are committed to the insane
hospitals. The revision of the statutes
was enacted by both branches and an
appropriation of $40, 900 made to provide
for representation of the State of Maine
at the St. Louis exposition.

Reception to Former Pastor

Over one hundred members of the
Congregational church, many OF them
friends of Mr.. Woodbury., gathered in
the vestry on Tuesday evening, at an
informal reception to Rev. and Mrs.
Webster Woodbury.. The occasion was
made all the more appropriate by the
fact that it was also the Ssh snniver-
sary of their marriage. The pastorate
of Rev. Mr.. Woodbury. In this place was
a most happy and successful one, and,
although it has been twenty years since
he has returned to Skowhegan, there
were many who remembered him. Mr..
E. E. Harris and Mr.. Smiley sang a
duet, and Miss Gertrude Webb, solo.
Rev. II. w. Kmball, the present pastor
of the church, 10 a few fitting words
voiced the welcome of the old parish
toner's, and Mr.. Woodbury. very pleasant
ly spoke Of his experiences during the
years since his pastorate. The young
ladies', the children of Mr.. Woodbury's
day, had very prettily decorated the
vestry, and at the close of the brief
exercises served ice cream and cake.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Woodbury. remain in town
until S lturday.

volt seems to be the order of the day in
almost every province of the Balkan

we heartily endorse the administration
of Sheriff Lang.

1t appears that the Union Coal Co. at
Shsmokin, Pa, has decided to shut
down four collieries indefinitely and
throw 1900 men out of employment.
The reason given is an over supply of
coal which prevents the company from
finding a market for what 1t produces.
The real reason is evidently to keep the
price up to the present high figure, one
dollar or more above that Of former
years. 1t appears that the anthracite
supply is in the control Of few men
with almost as great power over the
regulation of the supply and the price
Of this necessity as the Standard Oh
Company have over the production and
price of oil, snd they hold this control
in direct defiance Of the laws of the
the state in which their mines are
located.

Judge Peabody at the Penobscot Court
passed sentence on a large number OF
liquor dealers this week and last. Five
we're sent to jail and jail sentences with
fines passed upon some more, but the i'm
prisonment part Of the penalty Is sus-
pended upon the payment of fines and
costs so long as the respondents refrain
from further violation of law. The County
attorney has power to issue mittimus
as soon as he finds they engage In the
business, without further legal process.
This plan has worked we'll 10 other

each hanging over them. The "Bangor

VOTING For PoPE.-The sacred con-
claye of cardinals now in session In
the vatican engaged in balloting Tor
a successor to Pope Leo XIII Is the
largest in the history Of the Roman
Catholic church. The protracted Ill
ness of the pope gave the cardinals an
opportunity to assemble from nearly
all parts of the world, and about sixty
of them were present when the con-
clave entered upon its work last Sat
urday. The balloting Is supposed to be
In secret, and about the only intima-
ton that the outside world is supposed
to have with regard to what Is going
on is to be gathered from the smoke
that issues from stove pipe OF the
Sistine chapel. The ballots are burned
after each unsuccessful attempt at
an election, and the smoke tells OF
what has occurred. There were two
ballots on last Saturday. The daily
papers Of Rome are publishing cir
cumstantial accounts of the voting,
and these accounts seem to be reason
ably correct; but it Is somewhat OF a
puzzle to know how the papers are
getting their information.

About SHOES.

incidentally we would mention the
fact that we are gradually working out
Of the Clothing trade with the intention
of handling bigger stocks Of shoes and
ladies goods. We shall certainly carry
a bigger stock Of Shoes than we have
lever carried before, and we have no
reasonable doubt but that our stock
lof Shoes will be the largest and most
complete that has ever been handled
by one store in this city. For several
years past we have been carrying the
well-known Reeds Shoes for ladies,
and while we know it Is but waste
of time to tell of the merits of these
shoes to ladies who know and appreci-
ate good footwear, but for the benefit
of ladies who are not thoroughly ac-
lquainted with Reed Shoes we will say
that these shoes stand head and shoul-
ders above any other make Of ladies'
shoes on sale in this section Of the
lcountry. When lady wears Reeds
Shoes she Is sure to be properly shod.
lIf you doubt this statement, ask the
lady who wears Reed Shoes, and she
will vouch for all our claims on this
subject.
For a number of years past the Rey-
nolds Shoe has been our leader for
men, and Of the hundreds Of pairs we
have sold we have had exceptionally
few complaints-there are always some
complaints about all shoes. But to
prove our claim as to the high stand
ard Of quality Of the Reynolds Shoes
we will quote what a well-known shoe
man, who Is a thorough expert on the
shoe question, and who has not one
cents interest in the Reynolds shoe,
recently said to US:
1.-THE Reynolds shoe Is without ex-
ception the best shoe that I have had
In my hands in years. It Is the best
shoe that Is sold on this market, and
that is saying good DEAL"
The man quoted has been handling
shoes for years and knows shoes from
heel to toe and from sole to tug. II
YOU wear a Reynolds shoe you will
wear the best.
Our stock of Shoes will include all
styles, sizes, prices and qualities, and
we believe that we will be in position
to please anybody in quality, style, and
price. In other words, when you want
Shoes it will save you time If you will
come to see US.
