In justice to the participants, II
should be said that on account OF
change from the printed program, the
Democrat was incorrect last week in an
nounciug the woman suffrage debate in
the Seneca Club. The disputants in IA
vOr Of suffrage were Mrs. Wheeler and
Miss Walker, and those opposed Mrs
Taylor and Mrs. Haskell. As given in
the last issue they were reversed. This
correction Is noted especially because
some OF the disputants are earnest In
their views on the side which they pre-
sented, and the Democrat does not wish
to represent them as having stultined
themselves.
Most people are doubtless familiar
with Mount Kearssge, that regular cone
which rises into the sky line in the west
Mountains, and whose summit Is never
obscured by clouds. Well, that Is
now Mount Pequawket. AT least that
is the ruling of the United States Geo
graphic Board, which puts official names
on mountains. There have been for
long time two mountains in New Hsmp-
shire which bore the name of Mount
Kearsage, and to avoid the resulting con-
fusion the name of this has been chang
ed. The other Mount Kearssrge, which
retains the name, is at quite q distance
southwest.
frst-class supper was served by the
men of the Congregational church as
their annual event Thursday evening.
Oh, yes, OF course the statement Is IN a
sense superfuous, but tits just as well
to give credit. The menu was a little
out OF the ordinary for church supper,
including mashed potato, roast beer,
cranberry sauce, hot rolls, pies and
cheese, with coffee and all the trim
mings. Whoever did the cooking, at
least the men did all the serving, and
did il well. For the opening number OF
the entertainment there was violin
solo with encore by DIR. Carl S. Briggs,
Miss Ida Dean playing the accomPani-
ment. The rest Of the program was
provided by Harry Hodgdon OF var
mouth, the blind singer, with Mrs. Cora 3
Briggs at the piano, and Miss Ruth BUCK
Of South Portland, reader. Mr.. Hodg'
don has fine voice and bis selections
were we'll calculated to please. That
they did please was well attested by the
enthusiastic reception given him. Miss
Bucks readings were exceedingly well
rendered, and almost without exception
were entirely new to South Paris audi
ence, and were highly pleasing. Alto
