These constant re-births have led to
much confusion Of idea as to whether
the Dalai Lama is really regarded as a
reincarnation with all the special sane

The Gumpas, or Buddhist monas-
teries, are generally built with wonder
fully picturesque effect on the top of a.
steep hill, at the foot of which lie the
village and "chortens'' innumerable.
These pyramidal Buddhist shrines
were originally used as sepulchres, but
are now often built merely as religious
symbols or in memorial of some de-
ceased Buddhist.
There are many differing sects Of
Lamas. but, broadly speaking, they
may be divided into two main bodies,
known from a distinction in dress as
Yellow Caps and Red Caps. Unlike
the orthodox Yellow Caps ("Gelup-
kas'') prevalent at Lhasa, the Red Caps

matters of morality, A lapse in mon
| astery or nunnery Is usually met
among them by some slight punish
| ment, such as the performance of GER
tain mental duties, or possibly scourg-
ing, but not by the prompt degradation
and expulsion demanded by the strict
er code of the Yellow Caps, who are in

there is little in common between the
Lamaism of Thibet and the purer
forms Of Buddhism. Demon orship

the religion taught by the Lamas, and

is dying a slow natural death, on the
borders Of this country at least, where

A NEGLECTED HERO.
Was Brilliant Soldier Of the Revo-
lutionary War.

Miss Mary L. Iinehan Of the South
School gave an interesting talk, last
evening in the rooms Of the Gaelic So
'ciety on General John Sullivan, a Rev
olutionary hero who has been neg
lected by the historians. Miss Linehan
said that few of the earlier settlers
of New Hampshire had q prouder an
cestry than the Sullivans. The family
had been distinguished in Europe for
over Thousand years. They were
the possessors of various strongholds
in Ireland AT the time of the Eng
lish invasion of ireland. the Sullivans
were among the proudest of the Irish
clans. SUCH was the stock from which
General John Sullivan was descended.
General Sullivan's father immigra-
ted to this country from Ireland in the
year 1923 and settled i'll the town or
Somersworth, n. H. The first organ
lied emigration of the Irish people to
this country began in the year Ills
when hundreds of Irish immigrants
settled in the various towns OF Con-
necticut and Massachusetts. General
Sullivan's father belonged to one of
those prominent Irish families which
were driven from Ireland by the OPP
preston Of England.
General John Sullivan was one of
five children. He was educated by
his father, who was an accomplished
gentleman and scholar and who had
received brilliant education on the
continent OF Europe. When John Sui
Ivan had received liberal education
under the guidance of his father, he
began the study of law with Judge
Liyermore of Portsmouth, n. H., and
after two years study he was admitted
to the bar He was very successful
in the practice of law, but devoted a
large portion of his time to other bus
mess pursuits, establishing various
manufacturing interests. Before the
war of the Revolution broke out, he
was said to be worth e 10000.
+ When the. war began to threaten, he
became interested in the organization
of militia and himself organized q
company of eighty-three men. He had
no special military training, but he
had the genius which fitted him for al.
most any undertaking. At the age OF
81 he held the position of major gene
eral In the colonial militia. Just before
| the beginning of the war, when Gene
ral Gage gave orders to seize the am
munition and stores at Fort William
ana Mary, General Sullivan at the
head of company seized the powder
! in the fort and secreted it at various
| places in the state where it would be
| out of reach of the British soldiers
! This was the powder which later or
made possible the fight Mt Bunker
Hill. On the organization Of the army

afternoon at the Opera house by
Mrs. Nettie c. Hall, was the most
largely attended of any of the
previous lectures given there on
Sunday. The hall was crowded,
and the gallery even had to be

Mrs. Hall spoke about "What

unbiased account, dwelling more
on the description of the city, its
cleanliness, the intelligent class
of people who were there, etc.

The Ice Plant,

The ice plant is generally con-
sldered as one of the most impor-
tant industries of the city, and
the idea is fully in keeping with
the institution.
The plant was installed in 1898,
it's original capacity of S tons per
day has been increased from
time to time until the p1ant now
produces thirty tons frst-c1ass
ice per day. Ali the product of
the plant is made from distilled
water, frozen in chemical bath,
and is absolutely pure.
The patronage which the firm
receives from the surrounding
towns is a sufficient guarantee of
the excellence ofits manufacture.
No less than dozen towns, in
Guiding Isaac, Rebecca, Wright,
Wray, Ocilla, and Irwinville pur-
chase their ice here.
An 80-horse power boiler was
recently installed, and an air
lift of 80 tons capacity put in op-

Nicholson, driver, the capable
Manager G. w. Smith is as
sured of a successful season this
year. Considering the fact that
the ice plant is taxpaying prop
erty and employees a force of men
whose payroll amounts tosevera1
hundred dollars every month, it
is obviously the duty of every
citizen to support the home in
dustry, however worthy it's com
petitor may be. The plant is
within the city limits, and, aside
from it's direct contributions to
the city finances in the waY.of it's
own taxes, employs men who
are taxpayers and property own
ers in the city.
It is hoped that the merchants
will see the wisdom of support
ing this practical and progress s.

with what he saw"
Not a rash or sensational sen.
tence was uttered; not a word
was said that would hurt the feel
ings of saloon man, a gambler
or divekeeper, but the preach
er's view of the grosser vices
and his arraignment of those who
are responsible, and his appeal to
the christian manhood and wo-
manhood of the community to
correct them, was expressed in
well chosen words, and with an
earnestness and eloquence that
made profound impression.
