India. and that is the day of Devali-
the Day of Light, when is dedicated
to the Hindu god Ram, in celebration
Of his coropation. and of this day the
devotees Of that religion take great
advantage. Huge sums are wagered
on games Of chance. and on frequent
occasions the born gambler has lost
one of his wives.
The native bazaars throughout In =
dia resemble fairyland, for outside
the house or shop of every true
Hindu are placed, numerous little
lamps OF primitive construction.
They consist merely Of small shall
low bowls, about the size of n salt

canada's Oldest House In Quebec

Canadas oldest house, the first
residence of the Jesuit Fathers in
Sillery. Quebec, is now the propert v
of the Province of Quebec. Two sons
of the late J. r. Dobell. minister in
the Laurier Cabinet of 1896, have
just given what is considered as one
of the most valuable treasures of the
country to the commission of Histor-
zeal Monuments, lately created by the
Provincial government.
The first residence OF the Jesuits in
Quebec was built in 1899 by Father
Masse, the first missionary who ar
rived in Canada, and NJ lie Comman-
der de Sillery.
Pierre George Roy, historian Of
Quebec. says the residence is the old
est in Canada and second oldest in
North America, the first being loca-
ted at st. Augustine. Fla. In front
of the Jesuit residence the Jesuits
built a church, the second in Canada.
Father Masse was buried under the
church when he died in 1916. The
church has been destroyed by time.
but the residence defied the centur-
les. The residence is located at the
foot of the cape, at L'Anse an Foulon,
where Wolfe's soldiers arrived on the
eve of the battle with Montcalm' g
men on the Plains of Abraham.
1t is the intention to propose the
Transformation, of the residence into
museum. wherein everything that
belongs to the history of the Jesuit
Fathers may be kept.

Chautauqua Play
Draws Good Crowd

Waterville people were given an
opportunity last evening to witness
one Of the finest plays ever present
ed to the public, "Smilin' Through"
by the Redpath Chautauqua Com
pany. The play is a fantastic COM
edy with q wealth Of human appeal
>and it deals with tho vital theme of
Youth. Love. Misunderstanding and
a sadly misplaced desire for re-
Nenge.
Nearly every seat in the big tent
was filled and the interest created
in each member of the cast charac-
teriZed the whole story. "Smilin'
Through" Is one OF the sweetest
stories ever told. 1t is of the emo
tional type but there is plenty of
humor. The prologue explains the
plays. name. In it two figures-the
mother of the hoy and the mother
OF the gi1-are shown smiling
through and wishing that they
might help the man to see and I'M
Gerstand. AS they fade out, the ac-
ton of the play begins.
The morning and afternoon sess-
ions of Chautauaua yesterday were
well attended. The speaker at both
sessions was Chester M. Sanford. Mr..
Sanford spoke on 1.-THE Winning
Spirit" yesterday morning and in the
afternoon he spok on 1.-The Failures
Of the Misfits." The lectures were
given by Mr.. Sanford for the pur-
pose Of helping to guide the young
people in choosing their vocations
and to help eliminate insists In the

Economy But Not
|Parsimony Says
Governor Baxter
(Special Ia Kennebec JournaN

Bridston. Me-, Sept. 5-Gov. Per-
cival p. Baxter at q Republican
meeting here tonight said that the
present state administration had
been carried on in a business like
way and every effort has been made
to practice economy.
1T is not easy to practice real
economy continued Gov. Baxter.
"A public official may spend his
own money as he wishes, but the
peoples money that is raised through
taxation must never be wasted and
every dollar must be made to count.
When l came into office there was
In the general fund in the state
treasury approximately $780, 900,
and on July first of this year there
was something over s2.100,000. In
view of the fact that the state has
been called upon to meet very heavy
extraordinary expenses. l consider
this showing an excellent one.
About year ago our states
prison was burned. 1t was an old
disreputable place not fit for human
beings to live in. I am glad that II
is gone and it ought to have been
torn down many years ago.
Two courses We're open to me
one. to call the legislature together
which of itself would have cost from
$4,000 to $4,000. and levy a special
tax upon the people of the state
L did not wish to do this and SO
adopted another course. l called the
heads of departments and institu-
tionS in consultation and told them
that the state was in a hard place
and that l wanted from s350,0OO to
100000 to rebuild the prison. The
response was encouraging. Every
department and institution has saved
wherever possible, and as a result
we have rebuilt the prison. which
will cost about 100000. without bor-
rowing any money. without levying
any taxes and we have paid for IT
as we have gone along. Meanwhile
the State has paid all its bills, taken
all discounts allowed on purchases
and we have 100000 more in the
bank than we had when took office
This does not tell the whole story
Our receipts from inheritance taxes
have fallen short almost half a mil
| lion dollars from the estimate. AS
the legislative appropriations were
based on the assumption that the
State would receive this half million
| dollars. you can see how difficult ii
has been Tor us to meet all our obi
cations with our income 100000 less
than was expected. At the same
time We have paid for the new pris-
on. This could not have been done
| had not many savings been effected
in making savings. however, we
have not been parsimonious nor have
we interfered with the proper work

We have built new buildings in vari-
Gus places. have kept the old ones

He described Mexican officials as de-
