OF Augusta Passionate Observed, Sun.
day, by Rev. /. w. Coons.

large congregation was present
at the Winthrop Street Universalist
church, Sunday morning, to greet the
pastor, Rev. Leroy w. Coons. and to
celebrate the fifth anniversary of his
settlement as pastor. The front of
the church was filled with decorative
plants, while Immediately in front of
the pulpit was a huge bouquet of
chrysanthemums. These at the close
of the service We're presented to the
pastor and his wife.
In beginning the service, Mr.. Coons
summarized few results of the past
five years. In this period 2S4 funerals
have been attended, Az persons have
been baptized, 81 men>oers have been
united with the church, making the
enrolment now 1874, % children have
been christened. and over 1900 parish
calls have been made. In this period
also. fund of over 24,000 has been
given, the income Of which is to be
used for keeping the church in repair
A gift of $1,000 and another $4,000. the
income from which may be used for
current expenses, have been given.
Over $4,000 have been thus bestowed
in the past five years. The church,
itself. three years ago, was entirely
renovated, making it now one of the
most attractive and most convenient
churches in this vicinity. These al
terations and improvements cost over
$4,000
Mr. Coons, in his anniversary SER
mon, used as his text. the words in
regard to Paul. He Thanked God and
Took Courage. Looking back over
the past five years there have been
many things in our experiences for
which to be thankful. Humbfy the
mistakes are acknowledged but wis
dom has been gained. Nothing arouses
our attitude more than the privilege
of standing here to declare the faith
of the fathers, the faith of the world
is fast coming to acknowledge and ac-s
cept.' In closing, the preacher made
a strong appeal for sympathy. for a
larger interest to the end that the
service to the church and this COM
munity may be greater than every be-
fore.

Sunday afternoon, on upper Water
street while endeavoring to rescue a
dove entangled by a string among
some electric light wires.
Faulkner was standing on the side

partment store, in Company with 9TH

lap, who had just come out of the New
City hotel volunteered to rescue the
unfortunate bird and started up the
pole, gaining point between the
transformer box and the wires, When
| he decided TO go no farther
Faulkner, great lover of birds,
Dunlap did not move. however. so
Faulkner pulled off his coat and start
ed mp the pole, in spite of the warn
! ings of several bystanders, including
Fred Rlanehette. who had had sever

Reaching out from the pole, with
| one hand on the climbing spike. his
right hand came in contact with the
electric light wire. Linemen say that
% volts passed through his body. The
first contact was not enough 10 rem

for assistance. Peter Cyr went up the
pole and grasped the man, but a Il that
moment the current Was too much for
Faulkner and he let go, falling onto

Two ugly scalp wounds were in
flicted upon the head, one about A

the head which exposed the brain, and
the other a cut Of about | u inches

soon on the scene but all efforts to
revive the man We're of no avail. Coro-

scene, said that Faulkner was repeat

LOST IN WOODS.
Two Augusta Boys Have Unpleasant
Experience Near Spectacle Pond,

After their strenuous duties as stu
dents at Cony High school were con-
cluded for one week at least, and
wishing to refresh their tired minds
with some sort of recreation, Charles
Breen and Harold Curtis started, Fri
day afternoon, into the wilds near
Spectacle pond, Vassalboro, armed
with guns and a sufficient quantity
of ammunition They were not .fus-
sy" whether they shot large game or
small, but just went out for a little
fun and amusement. The two hunters
struck for Spectacle pond as has been
stated and after skirmishng around
through the brush, Charlie remarked
to Harold that it was getting along
toward night and he guessed they had
better commence to think of home
and the baked bean supper that was
awaiting them. Home was not reach
ed, and the baked bean supper was
not theirs, as will be seen later.
The boys went this way and that
way. through the bushes. over the hill
tops and through the swamps, but the
further they went the thicker the
woods grew A last Charlie and his
companion began to think that they
were really lost. and their chances
for reaching home that night were

were in the woods To stay for the

A MATCHED RACE.
Lady Wilkes and Lady's Sister Vii
Race, Tuesday Afternoon.

No event in racing circles in years
has caused as much comment and dis
cussion as the race between Lady
Wilkes, the fast and game pacing
mare, owned by w. S. Malcolm, and
LadY's Sister. the chestnut mare
brought East from Ohio. last season.
Charles Towle of Winthrop
THE Wilkes mare has an advantage
of about three seconds in the way OF
a record, which is 215A and made ir
a race, this season. She has also
shown her ability To beat this mark
at least two seconds and is as game
as they make them.
The Winthrop mare, while not hav-
ing as fast record. is known TO pos
sess as much speed as any PAGER in
Maine and has been quarters. a two
minute gate. She has just finished
up remarkable campaign, having
won the last dozen races without los
ing a single heat.
Ed Ireland, one of the best handlers
and drivers in the State, and who has
driven her in nearly all her races, this
season. will steer the little chestnut
and he is confident that she will be
the winner in three straight heats.
Local race followers, who have
watched the two mares in their work,
this season, while divided in their
opinions as to which one should win,
are. on the whole, inclined to favor the
Wilkes mare and base their confidence
on her known capacity to race every
inch of a mile right to her limit and
came back in each succeeding heat
looking for more. She should come to
the wire in better shape for a hard
race than at any time in her career.
A large gathering of horsemen from
all parts OF the State will be on hand
to witness the sport.
The race will be called at . O'Clock
