HANNIBAL HAMLIN CENTENARY Maine to Erect Memorial to ' One of Her Greatest Statesmen. If Hannibal Hamlin, once vice presi dent of the United States, bad lived till Aug. 27, 1909, he would have been hundred years old. This circum stance has ever been kept in mind by the people of Oxford county,. Me., and particularly of Paris Hill, the scene of his birth. His centennial will be mark ed by the dedication of a memorial tablet on the centennial anniversary. The citizens have provided an im- tnense bowlder which was selected by committee from others on the land : of Hiram Heald, lying south of the village and formerly the Hamlin pas ture lands. Loren B. Merrill, chair man of the committee In charge of the bowlder, had a long bunt for the right kind. It is six feet square and three feet thick. It required ten draft horses to haul the bowlder to its present posi- tiou. In front of the old Hamlin man sion, where a foundation naa Deen prepared for it and a terrace put about it. On this rock the memorial tablet will be placed. . . .v. Miss Julia Frances Carter, daughter of Mrs. Mary B. Carter, will unveil the bowlder. Miss Carter and her sister are the only living descendants of Hannibal Hamlin who now own . a home at Paris Hill. The speakers will be United States Senator Eugene Hale. ex-Governor Long of Massachusetts and Governor Fernald of Maine. Ex-Governor Long was invited to deliver an oration upon this occasion, but told the committee that he thought it would be much bet ter to have a few short speeches than one long one. and 'they hare acted upon his suggestion. The credit for erecting a memorial to one of Maine's greatest statesmen be longs to the Maine commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. General .loshua L. Chamberlain is to preside at the exercises. The exercises will be held in connection with the first old home week in Maine.' This gathering perhaps will be one of the last of men who gained fame in the fight for the freedom of the negro. ' DOCTORS TO HONOR HOLMES 1! WM.

Meeker of the Compton Hill Congregational church In St. Louis made good his promise the other night to go to the people when they will not come to hear him In church. He preached from a specially constructed rostrum in the Suburban garden.

' After the sermon, which lasted twen- ty minutes, the clergyman mingled freely with the guests of the garden and remained to see one act of the opera. The church was closed several weeks ago because of the light attendance. and Dr. Meeker then announced that he would preach In the garden. "If the people will not come to hear me I will carry the gospel, to them," he said. "We cannot wait for the peo ple to come and ask for the word of God."

Principal wo SALEM OREGON between these Ederheimer-Stein clothes that are made especially for you and other kinds that are sometimes sold you. Too bad you can't see these clothes alongside some of the makes you're shown when you go to buy a suit. But we don't have the ordinary kinds and you won't find garments of this make anywhere else. Three and a quarter yards of cloth is usually supposed to be enough for a suit. Ederheimer, Stein & Co., put 334, sometimes more, into theirs. It takes this much to make a coat roomy and full chested, to give it plenty of length and bottom sweep, to get the right hip effect to the trousers. Not all clothes makers use enough goods to make clothes stylish. ; Eder heimer, Stein & Co., make clothes right and put in all the material that is needed. And they're strictly Young Men's clothes.
