a spiritual uplift in the Free Baptist
church at East Hebron, Me- under
Pastor e. M. Swift has resulted in an
increase of interest in every depart
ment of the church, and prevailing
revival interest in the community.
The number of conversions up to date
is &c, all young people, some of whom
are waiting baptism.
In spite of the fact that Adjutant
General Elliot C. Dill has reached so
high a place in the affections of
the people of Maine, and par
ticularly in the hearts of the boys
of the military, we are still de-
termined to claim him as news
paper man. From his country home
in the picturesque little village of
Phillips he went forth to mature and
grow and take on character and men
tai and physical strength and ability,
under a newspaper training. Then
he went South as a war correspond
ent and his faithfulness to the officers
and men in the military service won
for him an army of friends who have
elung to him through thick and thin
until the present hour. Then gov
ernor recognized this boy from the
wilds of Rangeley and said: Come
unto me and l will give you public |
service And he came and saw, and
how we'll he conquered is splendidly |
demonstrated in the banquet in his |
honor at Portland last Friday eve
ming as a farewell expression of the |
love and esteem which Maine bears |
her modest and distinguished son.

We understand that Hon. B. NJ. |
Fernald, former governor of Maine, |
denies that he is candidate for Con-
gress from the Second congressional |
district of Maine. Perhaps the former |
governor will not allow his name to |
be used but if he would and the Sec |
end district would elect him, it would I
do itself and its State a distinct |
honor.
The town of Houlton is fortunate in |
lest in his profession to give him time |
and talent to the organization, devel- |
opment and process of the work |
among boys. The Rev. George S. |
Robinson, pastor of the Church of the |
Good Shepherd, is too widely known to |
need any recommendation in this line |
of work in Maine. He has had much |
experience among men and boys in |
our State, politically, educationally |
and religiously. He was an athlete in |
his college days and has kept in trim |
since he has been in pro-
fessinal work. He has had expert |
ence as school teacher and knows |
the boys strength and weaknesses. |
He has been in many courageous |
battle in the political arena where he |
had opportunity to study the tactics |
of men. He has been successful in |
his church work and as archdeacon |
was known in the missionary centers |
of Maine as a man of much force and /
personality as preacher.-Houlton |

in the Bay State. The de- |
sign submitted by Wells & Dana has |
been accepted BY the managers, head |
ed by Col. Peter H. Carr, an intimate
friend of architect Wells. The COM
mittee of architects selected to pass |
upon the plans declare against the |
"modernized Bulfnch 'front.' and the |
top heavy dome of the Wells produc-
tion. Their choice, ignored by Col |
Carr, was by G. Henri Desmond, be- |
ing a close reproduction of the Mas
sachusetts State House as remodeled |
after suggestions by this architect |
Mr.. Desmond is responsible for the |
present State House of Maine, his de- |
sign for the new structure being ac-
cepted from a large number.
