East Fryeburg Temperance Meeting

East Fryeburg Temperance Meeting.
On Sunday, Aug. IL, there was held in
the band hall at that place, under the
auspices of the W. c. T. u, a temperance
meeting addressed by Mrs. Gertrude
Stevens Leavitt of Portland, a summer
resident of Brownfield.
1t was by the invitation OF Mrs,
Cassandra T. Carr, a white ribboner OF
Philadelphia, summer resident of Car
ter Hill.
DR.. j. Il. Holmes of Swarthmore Col,
lege, Pa, a brother of Mrs. Carr, who
had conducted services in the hall for
several Sundays, opened the meeting
with some interesting remarks, and fol
lowing Mrs. Leavitt, gave some convinc-
ing facts relative to the license system
which showed the fallacy of the idea
that the liquor traffic can be regulated
or better enforced in any other way as
we'll as by prohibition.
Mrs. Leavitt's subject was total absti-
nence for the individual and prohibition
for the state which are the basic princi'
pies of the W. C. T. U. Particular men
ton was made of the recent victory in
Georgia and the growth OF total absti-
nence sentiment in the south.
There was an appreciative audience.
1t would be we'll for anti-resubmissionn,
which means license for Maine, If many
meetings of the like would be held in the

Old Orchards Big couflagratiou.

In short time Thursday night that
famous resort, Old Orchard, had its
value reduced by about million and
q half by fire which rapidly ate the
heart out of the place. Before 1t had
run it's course it had destroyed seventeen
hotels of various sizes, including some
of the largest In the place, number OF
stores and other business places, and
sixty or more cottages.
The fire started from an overturned
lamp in the Olympia Hotel, and, famed
by high wind, spread with tremendous
rapidity, and it was not until some build.
ings had been blown up with dynamite
that the blaze was checked.
All the burned hotels were full of
guests, It being the height of the season,
and many hundred guests, as well as
cottagers, were turned out into the
night, some of them without having
time to save more than what they had
on. Fortunately the fire was early in
the evening, before any had retired.
At least three lives were lost as q con-
sequence of the fire. Philip Partridge
of Pittsburg, Pa, while driving from
Kennebunk to the fire, was struck by a
locomotive and SO injured that he died
shortly afterward.
By the explosion of soda tank in a
durg store during the fire, one man had
his head blown off and several Others were
injured. The man who was killed out
right, and the one who was most serious
ly injured, could not at first be identi-
fed. One of the seriously injured was
the Rev. Rufus Horton Jones of SacO,
formerly rector of the Episcopal church
at Rumford Falls. He was struck in the
head by flying timber at the time OF
the explosion, and his skull was
fractured.
The list of hotels burned includes the
following: Florida House, Olympia
House, Hotel Emerson, Hotel Emerson
Annex, Cleaves House, Hotel Alberta,
Hotel Irving, Hotel Fiske, Linwood
House, vesper House, Hotel Arvine,
Lawrence House, Lewiston House, Boy
den House, Hotel DeBernier, The Aldine,
New Palmer House and Seashore House.
The total insurance, it is said, is not
more than a quarter of the value ofthe
property destroyed.
The man killed outright by the ex-
plosion was later identified as Domi-
nique LeBreque of Portland, S2 years of
age. Philip Perrault of Biddeford, 40
years of age, who was injured by the
explosion, died later in the hospital.
Two or three others are in bad con-
1ition.

State Conference of Charities and
Corrections.

Corrections.
The committee on programme OF the
Conference of Charities and Corrections
announce that they are making strong
effort to have Hon. Homer Folks of New
York city to deliver the opening address
of the conference, and hope to be able
to secure him. If he can get away from
New York at the time of the meeting he
will undoubtedly come. MIR. Folks is
one of the foremost philanthropic lead,
ers in the world. Under Mayor Low he
was commissioner of charities in New
York city and completely revolutionized
the care of the poor in the New York
almshouses. He has written what is
probably the best book published on the
problem of dependent children. Last
year he led the fight, which with Gov.
Hughes support, gave New York state
system of probation.
Another speaker of national reputa-
ton has given a half-promise to deliver
an address on The Problem of Poverty
in the United States, showing in a
graphic way the extent and intensity of
the problem, even in these times of pros
perity.
At two sessions of the conference the
committee plans to have a number OF
short speeches, limited to five minutes
each. where each of the more important
institutions of the state shall have an
opportunity to speak of the problems of
their own line of work. 1t is planned
throughout the conference to have con-
siderable time for general discussion.
The social side is also to be emphasized
at the conference.
Though both sides of the various
questions will be heard there will be no
programme adopted by the conference
as the adoption of any programme is apt
to cause some feeling.
The conference will be held in Au-
burn October 21st and 22d.
