The Barrett Lecture.

Harrison D. Barrett, president of the
National Spiritual Association, spoke at
Weston Hall last Sunday afternoon and
evening. Mr.. Barrett is an orator of
more than usual ability, and his expert
ence in public speaking, which has taken
him in many different states and kept
him constantly adding to his fund of in-
formation, assures any audience before
whom he may now appear OF an interest,"
ing and profitable address.
The afternoon discourse was devoted
to general portrayal OF spiritual truths
and their application to the life of men
aud women. La the evening Mr.. Barrett
acceded to request to speak on "Heav-
en-" and gave his conception OF it as a
condition rather than place. Mr.. Bar
rett also spoke eloquently OF the moral
requirements of the present life that are
necessary to bring the soul OF man in
harmony for a desirable future existence.
An fort is being made to arrange for
series of lectures by Mr.. Barrett to be
delivered in Skowhegan and at other
points in the state during the vacation
which he is to pass at his home in
Canaan.

plate until the fifth inning, and this
inning lost the game for the home
team. After two men were out and

making four scores, and cinching the
game. Had that not happened the

POWER DISPUTED.
Member of Board Says Mickey Has
No Authority to Stop Contract Work.


Lincoln, Sept. 24-It has been de-
MED by a state official who is a mem
Der of the board of public lands and
buildings either that installation of
the elevator carrier system and other
mechanical apparatus at the Hastings
insane asylum has ceased by direction
of Governor Mickey, or that he has
any authority to order it stopped. The
real situation is declared to be that
only part of the equipment has ar
rived at the institution and that such
of it as is on hand will be put into
place. The member who was inter
viewed pronounced it an absurdity for
could interrupt contractor engaged
in carrying out the terms of a legal
contract.
AS to the governors assertion that
the work would entail deficiency for
the Hastings asylum, this is also con-
tradicted. Land Commissioner Eaton,
who is chairman of the board, called
up Superintendent w. B. Kern by long
distance telephone and made inquiry
regarding that point. He was inform
ed that all the money needed to pay
for the work is on hand. The appro-
priation for the institution includes
money to be used for all purposes, and
there is believed to be sufficient money
for running the institution the remain
der of the biennium.
Governor Mickey is authority, so
far as state institutions are concern
ed" said his critic, docs not go be-
You'd appointing and removing Of
ficials. He does not seem to be very
successful about that"
1t is pointed out that the method
of letting the contract for mechanical
appliances at Hastings was the same
as that generally followed by the
board. Since it was awarded, the
board took similar procedure in the
building of porches at an outlay of
about $4,000. This was in July, and
Dr. Kern, the superintendent was in
structed to let the contract instead of
the board doing it direct.
