vERAClTY OF THE BIBLE
After Visit to the Holy Land Even
Skeptic Must Be Con-
WINGED.

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor TO Bethlehem, and, in
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper sense of the sanctity
of the location and of the-events that
have transpired there, and that is
the more than remarkable correspond
ence between the things and places
shown us today as having been asso-
ciated with the life and work of the
Saviour and other events that enter
Eaith and the descriptions and ac-
counts of them, as furnished us in
the pages of the Holy Scriptures.
They agree with them in every re-
spect and it is impossible, after care
fully considering and comparing them,
to doubt their identity, so exactly
are they in accord with the Bible
narrative.
The work in the fields, the arrange
ment Of the buildings, the very articles
of diet and clothing of ancient days
are plainly recognizable in the doings
and surroundings of today. Indeed,
where modern methods have not be-
come obtrusive the manners and GUS
toms of the people remain much the
same as in the days of the presence
on earth of the Saviour Between the
descriptions given in the Bible of
localities, climatic and geographical
conditions, distances, ETC., of these
times and those Of today there is
hardly any discrepancy. even a
skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but be con-
WINGED of its veracity; to the believer
1t comes as a wonderful conviction,
. a satisfactory corroboration or en-
enlargement to see things as those
who described them SO graphically
saw them so long ago.-Columbian
Magazine

Dewitt Miller lectured Wednesday
night under the auspices of the Review
Club at Reynolds Opera House. Mr..
Miller spoke largely upon the influence
Of woman, and his lecture was pune
tured with humor and logic His adj
dress was listened to by large audience
upon quite disagreeable evening. He
said some pretty things about the wo-
men and some very homely things
about the bachelors He emphasized
the subject of matrimony, extolled its
functions, but discouraged the conjugal
relations between men and women of
unsound moral, mental or physical
stature. He was right New York So
ciety and the world is furnishing exam
pies Of inflated marriages. II people
are not fit to marry they should not
leave future generations with an inher-
itance of hereditary misery.

Miss Elsie Tanner in Recital.

Last Friday afternoon at 2:15 o.
clock in the public school chapel Miss
Elsie Tanner was presented by the Mar
tina Fowlkes School of Expression in a
classical recital. The program was
most entertaining and instructive, the
numbers varying in style, thus showing
the versatility Of the reader. Miss Tan
ner's portrayal OF the characters, Portia
and Nerissa, in the scenes from The
Merchant eff Venice" was delightful and
deserves especial mention. The cutting
from Laura +. Richards much loved
story, Captain January, was artisti-
cally done and with an intensity that
came from thought and careful prep
aration; indeed the authors great les
son was forcibly brought out The
groups of lighter numbers were given
with the same finish characteristic Of all
Miss Tanners work.
The Interpretation of "Shelley's Flu
gitives" gave the audience deeper and
fuller meaning Of this, one Of the most
beautiful classics ever written.
The recital reflected much credit upon
both pupil and school and was rare
treat for the student body, patrons and
friends.

NEW YEILINGS.

The honey-comb mesh veil still con.
tinues to be extensively worn. 1t is toe
becoming to be lightly abandoned, but
one sees either no veil at all, or what,
for want of better name, are termed
Spider" wells from the intricacy Of
their meshes and the fact that the fig
ures are placed at the centres of closest
weaving, as a spider stays most often al
the centre of his web. These are nc
doubt smart, but very masklike, toe
much so for pretty young face, though
the girls are affecting them. Chantilly
wells are also much worn, and very be-
coming thrown back over the hat in
front, and hanging down behind form
ing most complimentary background.
Draped belts of all sorts are popular, es-
pecially black patent leather, worn with
linen or checked suits.

Maine is All Right.

The valuation of taxable property in
Maine has increased $175, 100000 in the
last 2 5 years, pertinent fact to which
the Democratic spell-binders do not re-
fer when they advert to the increased
expenditures, which Democratic legis-
lators have usually been found in favor
of increasing, except in campaign time.
Dollar, for dollar, too, it can be shown
that Maine is now getting more out of
the money paid into the State treas
ury in taxes than ever before in her
history. Every cent goes for the pub
lie benefit and has to be accounted for
to an auditor who is as particular as a
bank examiner. The debt has been re-
duced until the interest account is in
significant. The rich corporations have
been compelled to bear a juster share
of the burden of government. 1t would
be difficult indeed to point out State
which is better governed or whose
finances are managed on more economi-
cal or businesslike basis than in Maine
under the succession of Republican COVER
nors and Republican legislatures. Bath
