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. '

How St. Louis Clergyman Seeks Peo
ple Who Do Not Go to Church.
The Eev. Jacob E. 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. Many who had come to drink
beer and to listen to Countess Ventu-
rino's production or "Frou-Frou gave
the preacher respectful ear. '
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."
The clergyman Is not only a preacher
of force, but he is an excellent cook.
He has often cooked dinner for the
members of the Ladles' Sewing society
of his church, and bis dinners are said
to be of the best. He is popular with
the young people and noted for his
charity.

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. Made to keep you looking
young.
