MISSION At S. MARKS.
The Rector to Be Assisted by Noted
Mission Preacher Next Week.

Through the courtesy of Bishop Cod-
man, the rector of S. Marks church
will have the Rev. Herbert Parrish.
Canon of s. Johns Cathedral. Quincy,
Ills. to assist him during the concare
beginning next Sunday. Canon Par
rsh's work. for number of years has
been the preaching of missions and
retreats, in all parts OF the United
States, in which work @he has been
eminently successful. He will not be
asked to give a Mission here, because
his coming was SO unforeseen, that
proper preparation for such an effort
has not been made. He has consented
however, to conduct a conference or
series of lectures which differs from
the former in being merely the syo-
tematic exposition of some phase of
Christian doctrine, or Of the spiritual
life, while emitting the more direct ap-
peal to the conscience. The subject
of the conference has not been deter
mined nor have the definite dates and
hours of meetings been fixed. 1t is
likely that five evenings next week will
be given up to it, and announcement
will be made as soon as the visiting
priest arrives. In the meantime it may
be said that the services are not OF a
private nature, and the public are cor
daily invited to any or all of them.
Father Parrish will be the preacher,
next Sunday.

tyranny by the branch of the government
charged with the duty of protecting the
citizen in his constitutional or legal
rights" He says further that the clause
in the Constitution guaranteeing the free
speech and free press forbids government
censorship in all forms. 1T would be
difficult" he adds, ITO conceive of a more
effective method of tablishing govern
ment censorship than through the writ of
Injunction"
THE dissenting opinion of Chief JUS
tice Shepard said Mr.. Gompers tonight
lis exactly that for which the federation
has been all along contendins so far as it
refers to the freedom of the press. The
right of freely expressing opinions is a
constitutional guaranty. There is moth
ing libelous in anything the federation
has published in connection with this
whole case.

in the State under the leadership OF
Prof. Kendall Of Skowhegan. The peo-
pie passed along the elegant store aud
up the winding staircase to the. what
is termed one of the finest millinery
departments in the State. Here is
where beauty reigned supreme and the
people remained there longer than else
where full of admiration over the beau
ties Of the season.
Once inside the store it was equally
as difficult to get out for the crowd
surged the store until late in the even
ing Many wished to go in the Sec
ond time. The crowd was good ma
tured and orderly and rather enjoyed
the congested condition. 1t was one OF
the greatest demonstrations that has
been seen in this city for many days.
The store was taken by Cloutier
Brothers about the first OF this year.
while then occupied by the Talv"rt

fraction over five miles an hour. Cibot

who are leading in the six-day go-as-

Garden are gradually increasing the
distance between themselves and their
nearest rivals. Late tonight the

the trainers picked them as likely to
win the race, barring accidents. There
is little likelihood now that the record
of TO miles, 1 Zap, made in 1902, will
be beaten.
Oxygen was administered to one Of
the contestants today with good re-
suits. Dineen, whose game struggle
has attracted attention, showed signs
Of weakening today but after oxygen
was administered to him he seemed as
sprightly as at the beginning of the
race. Corey and Hegelman did some
