Commander In Chief Novius.
The visit of Commander ln Chief
Nevius to Portland was an exceptional
occasion for the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic and the kindred
organizations in this vicinity. It Is
due to the commander to say that he
made friends in Portland on every
hand, and his popularity and influence
with the member of the fVrand Army
in this section will hunceforth be un
bounded. The occasion also demon
strated the popularity of the dupart
ment commander of 'Maine, Mr. Wood-1
bury K. Dona, of WesLbrook, who
whether as host at the luncheon at
the Congress Square tvotel of during
the other festivities always did, as he
ahvays doe?, proved himself the right
man ln the rig-ht place. The Orand
Army men will Ions remember the
visit of their commander in chief and
if he carrier out. his expressed wish
and comes to Maine during our sum
mer tioUday- season be will find as
warm a welcome as was ever extended
to a dUtirig-u-ished visitor in any com
munity. Portland Express.

The ComiAg of Lent.
Again (Lent comes to us with its
opportunties. Let us not drift through
the season passively or ln a vague
almleBsnesa. Let us make definite re
solve and effort and honestly endeav
or that our Lent shall be not merely
negative, but a season of pecitive real
ity. It Is the season of penitenoe. Its
kt-ynote is that daily prayer for new
and contrite hearts, ami It means that
by finding and facing out sins, and by
confession of sins, we may obtain
"That perfect pardon which is perfect
peace." Repentance ougiit to mean for
us foTfDkinir of sin and comlnjf home
to God. Lent ought to be a time of
more prayer and communion with
God.
May Lent have its Import of reality
for us as a diocese! May it mean,
thouffhout our congregations, more
appreciation of our Common Prayer
and of the privilege of Holy Commun
ion, a renewed loyalty to Christ and
His church, a new sense of brother
hood for Christ's sake, and deeper con
victions regarding service to our fel
low men ln His name. Bis'hop Chaun

The Cannon Scrap as a Feature of
Washington's Birthday The Mid
Year Meeting of the Trustees.
Middktonn, Conn.. Feb. 17. The
cannon scrap, the most Important ln- 1
terclass contes.t between tho two under
classes at Vesleyan, will be held this
year on the night of Friday, Fe-b. lth.
The rules provide that between the
hours of VI and 1 the freshmen shall
bring the Douglass cannon on to the
campus and shall hold it there for fif
teen minutes, the sophomores at the
BSme time trying to prevent them from
doing so. The scrap grew out of a.
custom at Wesleyan, begun In tne
fifties, of firing the Louglass cannon as
a part of the annual Washington birth
day celebration. The sophomores at
tempting to prevent the flrinfr. begun
the strong lnterclass rivalry nhich has
come down through the year until, un
der the cresent regulations, it has "be
come one of the most unique interchips
scraps in the country. This is the
meet interesting feature of the annual
"Washington's birthday celebration, to
be held this year on Frliuy and Satur
day of this week. It befrins Friday af
ternoon with a basketball gama be
tween the alumni and the 'varsity. In
the evening the musical dubs will give
their concert in the local theater. At
10.30 there will be another basketball
game, one of the New Kngland league
aeries, between Brown and Wesleyan,
and at II o'clock the cannon scrap.
Saturday afternoon there -will be an
informal college smoker, and In the
evenlna: the annual banquet in the
rymnaslum, one of the most unique
things of its kind held in any eastern
college. The committee has mafle ar
rangements to accommodcte over b'H)
people at th banquet and has secured
a vorv able list of speakers.
On the 22d of February the 'varsity
bas ketball team will plcy Dartmouth at
3.30 in the afternoon, and in the, even
ing the first production of the" '"Good
Natured Man'' will be given by the
Dramatic association at Meridcn. Coach
J&mes Francis of Boston has arrived
in town and is busily engaged ln coach
ing the cast in lnal preparation for
the first appearance.
The annual mid-year meeting1 or tne
board of trustees of the college will be
held in New York on Friday. Feb. 20th.
There will be several important mat
ters decided, the one of most vital in
terest to the undergraduates being that
of coeducation. At the June meeting
a resolution was introduced proposing
that a separate institution be estab
lished in Middletown for women, un
der the direction of the university au
thorities. The matter will be decided
next week. The time of the Inaugura
tion of President-elect Sliajiklin will
also be determined.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A Nuisance t6 Bo 6topped
Mr. Editor: I hve received by
tfis morning's mall an anonymous
ltiter containing a prayer alleged to
hive been written and sent out by the
Rliht Rev. William Lawrence, D.D..
blsl'op of Massachusetts, with the re
qupt that the recipient send a oopy
of one same on nine consecutive morn
ings) to nine other people, thus form
ing an endless chain. Accompanying
the i.prayer is a promisa inai uy cuni
plyirig with the request, the agent ln
thiil plan will experience some great
joy. .and by falling to comply will be
in langer of great calamity. This
letter first made its appearance some
year s ago. It was promptly denied by
Blsh T Lawrence that he had had any
.vtirtLr to tin with 1t. And Ha reouested
that anyone receiving It would ignore
the superstitious request and thus aid
in pu Uing an end to the progress of
the fr.tud. If I mistake not, the mat
ter ha H already been commented up
on in the columns of The Bulletin, and
the truth there stated. But as the
nulsanco has evidently not yet been
..XnnoI T bbTt that von will mjbllsh
this statement ln the hope that the
ending of an annoying matter may toe
hastened thereby.

Republican: Caught Napping Legis
lative Appropriation Bill Controversy.
Washington, Feb. IS. The contro
versy over the legislative appropria
tion on account of the much discussed
salary of th secretary of state, in
volving the pliglbility of Senator Knox
for that offlee, was settled In the house
of representatives today when the till
was sent to conference and the com
mittee was authorised to oonslder the
salary provision as Jf in disagreement.
This gives the committee power to
reduce the pay for the office from
$12,000 to $8,000. Its 'former iigure. The
republicans were caught napping when
a resolution by Mr. Fitzgerald was
adopted disagreeing with the senate
amendments creating the office of un
der secretary and fourth assistant sec
retary of state. The bill codifying and
amending the penal laws of the Unit
ed States, was passed, and the forti
fications appropriation bill was dis
cussed. Vigorous attacks on the house rules
were made by Messrs. Hubbard and
Hepburn of Iowa. The latter assert
ed that members had betrayed their
trust and prostrated themselves at the
feet of the speaker, who, he said, had
ben made a tyrant. The bill was
pending when the bouse took a recess
until tomorrow morning.

The Skin Game.
Not long ago, in one of our neigh
boring cities, a damage suit was
brought against a "dermatologlcal In
stitute" for faoial deformities result
ing from an attempt to obliterate a
woman' wrmkles by the use of par
raftin. The American Journal of Sur
gery, commenting upon this, but with
out mentioning the death by suicide
of Dr. Woodbury, goes on to sound a
warning against- the abolition of
wrinkles 'by the use of paraffin by the
"beauty specialist." who preys on the
vanity -.f those who do not know that
"paraffin prothesis" Is a dangerous
sort of sn opemtion In the 'hands of
thoe who are not up to the require
ments of an exavt technique. The
Journal thinks that the cosmetic In
jections should have their limita
tions, and that even in the hands o
the careful practitioner it is nothing
less than a risky business to try to
"cure" wrinkles., But the "beauty spe
cialist" t 111 continue to "obliterate"
the crow tracks. Hartford Times.
