Christian Science Temple

One of the most remarkable religious
demonstrations ever witnessed in New
England occurred on Sunday last in
Boston when the magnificent new
Christian Science Temple in the Back
Bay district was dedicated. From ev-
cry state in the Union and from all
parts of the world came members OF
that faith to be present at the dedica-
tory service. 1t was estimated that
more than 10000 Christian Scientists
were in the city Sunday
Six services were held to accommo-
date the vast throngs, but even then
there were thousands who we're unable
to gain admission to the temple. The
seating capacity of the edifice exceeds
5000 and at each service, Sunday, hun.
dreds stood in the aisles and in the rear
of the church.
The church is one of the largest,
If not the largest in the United States,
its seating capacity being SOP Ifs
style of architecture is Italian Renal
sance. The pews and other interior
woodwork finishings are of mahogany.
The walls are Concord granite and
Bedford stone, with beautiful decora
tive carving The inside finish is a
soft gray to harmonic with the Bed
ford stone columns supporting the dome.
The heighth of the building to the top
of the lantern, ia 224 feet, just one foot
higher than Bunker Hill Monument
The dome is 81 feet in diameter and is
covered with terra Gotta to match the
Bedford stone. The building presents
a stately, dignified and impressive ap-
pearance, and it is already recognized
as one of the landmarks of Boston
The first floor contains the various
offices, large foyer, Sunday-school
room, cloak.rooms, etc. There are
twelve exits and seven staircases. The
cost of the building is something less
than two million dollars The new
chimes consist of eleven bells made by
the Meneely Bell Co. of Troy, n. Y
The largest bell, which is sharp, weighs
1000 lbs The smallest bell weighs 400
lbs. The organ is necessarily one of
the largest in the world. 1t is strictly
up-to date and contains ali modern APP

1t is scarcely necessary 10 remind the
people of Maine that one OF the most
important and one of the most singular
ly pleasing duties of the next Maine
legislature will be the returning t. the
United States Senate of the Hon. VII
liam p. Frye. There are few ~tae in
the Union that can render such valuab' t
service to the country az Maine will be
able to render next January through her
Legislature A word or two in review
of the career of this favorite son OF
Maine will indicate the nature of the
service that our state IS doing the ma
ton
In 1889, Senator Ingalls,, President
pro. tenn of the senate appointed Mr.
Frye chairman of select committee Ia
investigate the relations of the Pacific
Railroads with the government, Sena-
tor Frye demonstrated with Mr. ingalls,,
asking why he should be- selected In
gals replied: "If this investg ,tion is
TO be worth anything it must be by
Senators in whom the people have con-
fidence, and know of no Senators in
whom the people have more confidence
than in you
Mr. Frye has been President pro, tenn
pore. of the Senate longer than any
other man ever held that Office of Presi
dent or Vice President. He entered
upon his service in that office two
years before Mckinley was President,
namely in February 1896
Senator Fryes Committee of Commerce,
of which he had been chairman fn1
about twenty years is often quoted as a
model for its dispatch of business No
complaint is ever made that its oil are
pigeon holed or delays. He holds the
committee strictly to business and does
not permit the time of it's meetings TO
be wasted by desultory conversation or
on academic discussions. He has its
work carefully laid out before each
meeting and presses steadily through
the program until all is disposed of
The Senate has such confidence in
Mr. Frye and his committee on Com.
merce that bills reported from it never
fail to pass that body.

How Sampson & AVore Sell Hyonei,
the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.

How Sampson & AVore Sell hyonet,
the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.
Sampson & Avore have an unusual of
fer to make to our readers, one that will
be of the greatest value to many.
For some years Sampson & Ayore
have been watching the results from the
use of Hyomei, treatment for eatarrh
that cures by breathing medicated air,
absolutely without any stomach dosing.
The results have been 80 universally
successful that they feel justified in
making public offer to treat the worst
case of catarrh in Skowhegan with the
understanding that if Hyomei does not
cure. the treatment will cost absolutely
nothing
People who have spent large sums
with catarrh specialists, deriving but
little benefit or the many who have
swallowed stomach remedies in the vain
hope of curing catarrh, have experienced
almost immediate relief from the use OF
Hyomei. while the continued treatment
for a short time, has resulted in a COM
plete aud lasting cure.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs only
one dollar, and consists of neat pocket
inhaler that can be carried in the purse
or vest pocket, medicine dropper, and
bottle of Hyomei. If this is not
enough for cure, extra bottles of
Hyomei can be obtained for so cents
Sampson & Avore positively guarantee
a cure, II Hyomei is used in accordance
with directions, or they will refund the
money.

greater the man, with the more eager
ness are his humanites studied.
1t has always been easy for his home
folks to study the human side of sena
tor William T. Frye, for when he gets
back to Lewiston he fits into his niche
of neighborliness with the true zest Of
the Maine born, hankering for the real
instead of the sham During all his
public career and in his exalted station
In Washington he has Ways been can
did, manly, plain-manntr' ii add UMPIRE
tentious The false com of so-called
affability in others has rung hollowly
beside his own sincere cordIaIity
Maine folks who have come 10 his at
tention in Washington have always
found his courtesy and klndliness just
az real there as at home.
And at home Well, it will never be
possible to convince Lewiston folks thai
