West Paris Universalist Church.
DEDICATION AND INSTALLATION OF
PASTOR ON WEDNESDAY.

On Wednesday afternoon, June q, the
beautiful new Universalist church at
West Paris will be dedicated at an after
noon service, and in the evening of the
same day the pastor, Rev. Isabella :.
MacDuff, formerly of Berlin, N. H., will
be installed.
A start toward the building of this
church was made a number OF years
since, and a small fund was accumulated,
but circumstances caused a suspension OF
the work. Something more than year
ago Rev. F. Z. Barton of Bethel, the
state superintendent of Universalist
churches, feeling that the time had come
for the vision to be materialized, began
to hold services in the Freewill Baptist
church once a month. The interest in
creased with the prospect of church.
1t was at first planned to build very
modest chapel, but generous friend be-
came interested in the enterprise, who
seemed to feel that nothing could be too
good for the purpose in view, and 30 the
little sum with which the movement
started has increased to upward of eight
thousand dollars and the beautiful new
church will be dedicated free from debt.
There are over eighteen hundred dol
lars invested in memorial windows. A
rich toned bell is suspended in we'll
proportional tower fifty feet high. There
are three gables to the church affording
space for three of the largest memorial
windows. The audience room by OPEN
ing into side room will seat two hun
dred and fifty people. The inside is
finished in dark rich oak, with hard
wood pews and floor.
Beneath the church is the vestry and
Sunday school room ten feet high. The
stage, kitchen, heating arrangements
and all modern conveniences are In
cluded in the plan.
The dedication service will be held al
2 p. NJ, with the following programme
Organ voluntary.

THIRTEEN GRADUATE WITH INTEREST
ING AND CREDITABLE EXERCISES
THURSDAY EVENING.

The interest of parents and friends in
the welfare of Paris High School was
again manifested last Thursday evening
in the audience which filled the Univers-
alist church to the doors for the gradual.
ing exercises of the class of 1906. The
people began to stream in that direction
at an early hour in the evening, and by
s o'clock, the hour set for the exercises,
the large house, which was all thrown
open, was filed to its capacity.
The decorations we're very simple. A
few palms and potted plants were taste
fully arranged about the platform, and
at its back was an arch, draped in the
class colors of red and white, bearing at
its top the class motto, Labor conquerS
ALL" and below it shield set with the
figures 'O6 in red and white electric
lights.
Superintendent of Schools Rev. Fl. A.
Clifford, Principal Clason of the high
school, and Miss Rounds and Miss
Jewett, the assistants, occupied seats in
the choir, and Mr.. Clason announced the
numbers on the programme. AS is Gus
tomary, the main part of the body of the
house had been reserved for parents and
invited guests.
At s o'clock selection was played by
the Tschaikowsky Orchestra, which
furnished the music for the evening, and
the class then marched in, marshaled by
Merton X. Sumner, and took their seats
in the front of the house. Prayer was
offered by Rev. j. Fl. Little, and the pro-
gramme of the exercises was carried out
as follows:

wlnslow Burbank Drowned.
A DOUBLE FATALITY AT AUBURN, IN
WHICH SOUTH PARIS BOY LOST HIS
LIFE.

A great shock was given the com
munity Thursday night by the report
that Frank Winslow Burbank Of South
Paris, a freshman in Bates College, had
that afternoon been drowned in Lake
Auburn. Particulars of the affair were
not generally learned until the next
morning.
Burbank, in company with another
Bates freshman, A. II. Adams OF Mill
nocket, Miss Lula Libby, aged II, OF
burn, and Miss Hattie Webb, aged 10, OF
Lewiston, was in canoe on Lake Au-
burn Friday afternoon for a short out
ing. Shortly after o'clock, while Bur-
bank was padding and the the others
were resting easily in the canoe, Bur-
banks cap blew off. Miss Libby reach
ed to catch 1t from the water, and over
turned the canoe.
The boys Immediately started for the
girls. Burbank reached Miss Libby, but
she was frightened and clasped him
about the neck. He was unable to
loosen her hold and they went down to-
gether.
Adams reached Miss Webb and sue
ceeded in getting to the canoe and put
ting her upon it. Fearing that both Of
them could not be supported by the
canoe, he told her to stay and he struck
out for the shore. He was probably
too exhausted to reach it, but was pick
ed up by boat which was Fastening to
the spot.
Winslow Burbank was IS years of age,
horn and ALWAYS lived in South Paris,
and was the son of Frank P. Burbank,
the we'll known carpenter and builder.
He attended the Paris schools and gradu-
ated from the high school in the class Of
1905, entering Bates College in the fall
of the same year, and had completed all
but a few days work of the first year of
college. He was an only child, of good
habits and upright character, popular,
and of much promise intellectually, and
his seemingly untimely death has cast a
gloom over the place.
Winslow's father, F. p. Burbank, Is
engaged this summer building a house
at GOrham, N. H., and Mrs. Burbank is
there with him for the summer. They
were at once notified, and went to Lew
iston on the early train Friday morning.
They were accompanied from South
Paris by Rev. A. K. Baldwin.
The bodies were recovered Friday
morning, and Burbank's remains were
brought to South Paris Saturday morn
ing and the funeral was held at the Con-
gregational church at 2 p. NJ. There
was large attendance, the high school
class of 1905 being present in body.
Rev. A. K. Baldwin, the pastor, con-
Quoted the services, and Professor Pome-
roy of Bates College also spoke. The
male quartette choir of the church sang
several selections. Large quantities of
beautiful flowers came from friends and
classmates. The bearers were six MEM
bers of the high school class Of 1905, and
Lester Gerry and Willard Boothby of
the freshman class in Bates. Interment
was at Riverside.

House of e. c. Benson Burned.
EVIDENTLY STRUCK BY LIGHTNING L
FRIDAY EVENINGS SHOWER.

EVIDENTLY STRUCK BY LIGHTNING IN
FRIDAY EVENINGS SHOWER.
A succession of showers Friday after
noon and evening eliminated in one
which seemed to most South Paris peo-
pie about the fiercest of anything which
has visited US for some years. The
shower began soon after o'clock, and
for nearly an hour the lack of street
lights was made up for by the flashes
which kept the earth illuminated at least
half the time, while the roll and crack OF
thunder were continuous. Many careful
men, before retiring for the night, went
outside and took survey in all direc-
tions, to see that no fires had been started.
They thought they had made sure on
that matter, but the event seems to indi-
cate otherwise.
Some twenty or thirty minutes after
the shower had passed, fire was discov-
cred by the neighbors in the house Of E.
C. Benson, which was situated on the
high bank beside the river, off Park
Street near the bridge. There are no
other buildings within number of rods,
and it happened, though no one felt
absolutely sure of the fact at the time,
that there was no one in the house that
night.
The family consists Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Benson and one child of theirs, and two
boys and girl by the name of Damon,
children of Mrs. Benson by former
husband. Mr.. Benson has been employ
ed in the mining work on Croker Hill
since it began, and Mrs. Benson had re-
Gently gone with her youngest child to
stay with him. The other members of
the family had gone to stay for the night
with neighbors on the other side of the
river, leaving the house unoccupied.
Evidently lightning struck the house,
and no oneldiscovered the fact until the
fire had been burning some time. The
neighbOrhood was quickly reused, and a
telephone call to the middle of the vii
lage soon set the bells ringing and called
out the firemen. Those who were first
at the house said that stream put on at
that time would probably have saved the
house without very great damage, but as
nearly every one was in bed and most of
the fire apparatus was at considerable
distance, the house was on fire about all
over before any water could reach it.
Those first at hand succeeded in get
ting out portion of the furnishings of
the house, but they could not get into
the dining room and kitchen, where the
fire was the hottest. In due time the
firemen arrived, and long line of hose
was laid from the hydrant on Porter
Street and a stream was put on. By this
means a portion of the walls OF the
house were saved in a damaged condi-
ton, though what is left is hardly suffi-
cient to make the loss less than total.
The people of the village turned out In
numbers to the fire, men and women, but
there was little to do in the way OF
rendering assistance.
The house was insured for $500 in the
agency of w. j. Wheeler & Co.

HOW TO BREAK UP A COLD.

1t may be surprise to many to learn
that severe cold can be completely
broken up In one or two days time.
The first symptoms of q cold are dry,
loud cough, a profuse watery discharge
from the nose, and . thin, white coating
on the tongue. When Chamberlain's
cough remedy is taken every hour on
the first appearance Of these symptoms,
II counteracts the effect OF the cold and
restores the system to healthy con-

UNKNOWN FRIENDS.

There are many people who have used
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhea Remedy with splendid results, but
who are unknown because they have
hesitated about giving a testimonial OF
experience for publication. These peo-
ple,. however, are none the less friends
of this remedy. They have done much
toward making it household word by
their personal recommendations to
friends and neighbors. 1t is a good
medicine to have in the home and is
widely known for its cures of diarrhea
and all forms of bowel trouble. For sale
