The truism that the highest type of human helpfulness is that which helps a man to help himself is, ia nothing, more trikingly illustrated than in tbe summer lectures at tho now famous Green- cre, Eliot. Tho work of Greenacre is lie fruition of a long cherished ideal establish an environment where hero are lectures on an nbsolutely free platform and wt ere every detail of the work is guided, not by personal or financial interests, but the desire for a broader line of thought aud more usefulness.

lectures were instituted to draw jeople together who are ready to con- ributu their b'jflt thought and effort to serve uud bu sorved. For the past six summers Greenacre has stood with open doors, inviting all to this object. The work this season is under the management of Charles Broiie Patterson of Now York, who is the editor of "Mind" the "Arena." In whatever line of thought that has been expressed, there-" have more than justified tho predictions made by those who were respon uble for this departure in educational and spiritual work, and the benefit upon the future cannot ba over estimated.

Tuesday was banner day for the uumbtr of visitors on tbo jard. The ofliceis of tho Yunkton entertained ogain on Tuesday afternoon. Two new civil service men are shortly to report in tbe burevu of yards and docks. Tbe oommandaut'rt barge made the early morning trip to and from tho yarn on Tuesday. The big orauo at work on tho drj dock is a source of wonderment to the largo number of visitors to the scene ot the work.

LAWN PARTY. The ladies of the Court street church conducted a very successful lawc party on Tuesday afternoon and evening, July 31st, ou the grounds of Mr. and Mrs William Perkins, South street, and tho section of Lingdon park adjoining- After darkness fell, tha scene was extremely picturesque, with the numerous lanterns illuminating tbe flags aud bunting. Each person entering the grounds received delicate sandwiches and coffee. From a prattily arranged well lemonade was dipped.

Home made candies, ice cream and.cake aleo met ith a roady sale. During the evening, Mrs. Percy Frye rendered several enjoyable vocal solos. NAVAL MATTERS. Personal Mention and Matters of Interest to Our Headers.

In many strange and icmote places nowadays, It goes up to stiiy and it means civilization, prosperity and happim-as wherever It floats. VVe have RAISED THE FLAG OF 1'iucKs it this city. It has gone up to stay. It menus satisfaction and economy. It stands for the best Tailor-Made Suits and Overcoats at the Lowest Possible Prices.

Better Goods and Lower Prices that over before. Dakota Hob arrived at Portland, ou Monday evening, thus finishing a day ahead of time, his long walk from Portlttud, Oregon, to Portland, Mo. He arrived at the oud of his journey apparently fresh and roady for a new start. Ho could easily have finished several days sooner, but preferred to take it easy tho last part of tho way. Ho will start back witbiu a day or two by steamer to Boston, thence probably by train to uis starting place.

W. J. HOBBS PROMPTED. An, official circnlar is issued by Prcs. Luciun Tuttlu of the Boston Maine railroad announcing several importaut appointments, to tako today, and among thorn is that of William J.

HobbM, formerly general auditor of the company, who ia appointed controller find general auditor, with itnmediaU 'cbargo of the troumiry and accounting departments of the company, A boon to travelers.

The Bnueroft will probably be Bout to South American waters. A 8100,000 memorial will bo raised to honor the memory of the late Hear Admiral John Pliihp. Nothing has yet been done by the naval board, detailed to inspect the floating steel dock at Havana. A board of naval officers has been de tailed to report oil the most suitable io cation for the dry dock at New York. The bureau of construction andrepaii ias recommended that the Muchias be placed out of comtuibsion and geuorallj surveyed.

The Baltimore will probably go out of commission at New York iu few weeks aud will probably bo thoroughly overhauled. The Army and Navy Register of Jnlj 28 haa an editorial entitled "Warlike Christianity," that will receive the ap- pioval of every tliiukiug citizen of the country. But very little is heard about the progress of tho work ou the now dry dock at Cuarkstuwu. It has been said that tho work will have to ba abandoned, on account ol the unsuitable foundation. Theie would be general rejoicing here if Admiral Hichhorn were to continue service, as proposed by the Urooklyu and reproduced in the Tho country needs the services of this honored cbiuf of the construction department.

Portsmouth people will find an interesting story thia mouth ia McClure's muguzine. It. is entitled "A Prisoner Among Filipinos." by Lieut. James 0. Gillmoro.

It will be particularly interesting from the fact that J. Ellsworth Piukham, a Kittcry boy, was among those captured with Qillmore. Daring the past week the navy department decided to place merchant crews on board naval colliers and to assign merchant captains to the command of those vessels. Thia action was taken at the instance of Rear. Admiral Crowninshield, chief of the bureau of navi gation.

Chief Constructor Hichborn is at work on his annual report, which may bo tho last document of that character to bo signed by Jlichborn, who reaches the ago cf retirement iu March next. Tho forthcoming report will embrace a history of the chief con-" structor's career in the service and contain a faithful record of the various im- poitant qucbtioiia which have engaged the attention of his bureau. SUGGESTIONS FOB OLD HOME WEEK. Pastors are especially urged to ob- oorvo Old Homo Week Sunday, August in some fitting manner. A union service, with exercises appropriate to the festival, is suggested as particularly interesting.

Let bonfires bo 1'ghtcd at eight o'clock on Saturday evening, August 12th. Ever? town in the state should contribute at least ita bonfire to New Hampshire's welcome to her returning children. Muko the regibtiir of visitors as complete as possible aud preserve it carefully. It will grow interesting aud val liable as the years go by. MukeWttcra of local history as prominent asj possible; have exhibitions of heirlooms and relics if time will permit.

Let the children have some part in tho festivities, if possible; ut least have something to interest and nmuso them. Let visitors know what the town has to offer in the way of properties desirable for summer homos. Old Home Week is New Hampshire's patent. Make tho most of it! Make the greetings hearty. See that the latch stiingh out early.
