THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK.
power and disposition to 'deal with the
slaveries of successive times in the spirit
of Lincoln. In our foreign policies, in
our dealings with till sorts and conditions
of men, if we are true to his spirit, if we
are true to the ideals of our poets, ' we
can safely and confidently face the judg
ment seat of the gods.
The lectures were both interesting and
instructive and the speakers received the
close attention of their hearers. The
collection for the Dr. Hale Educational
Fund amounted to a generous sum.
Sunday Evening Concert.
A large company gathered in the music
room at Holly Inn last Sunday evening
to enjoy the regular concert by the
orchestra and others. The program was
a fine one and the numbers were well
rendered. These concerts have been a
very pleasing feature of our village life
during the winter and are fully ap
preciated by our villagers.

Rev. Joseph Cogiii Foster, I). I.
l?ev. Joseph Coggin Foster, D. D., of
Randolph, Mass., who with his wife
spent several weeks in our village last
fall, died March lGth, of liright's disease,
at Somerville, Augusta, Ga., aged 81
years.
Dr. Foster served as pastor of Baptist
churches in Brattleboro, Vt., Beverly,
Mass., and Randolph, Mass., in all a
leriod of thirty-nine years. Later he
was connected with Tfie Watchman, the
leading Baptist publication, and remained
on the editorial staff for fourteen years.
He was recording secretary of the North
ern Baptist Educational society fourteen
years, and treasurer of the Baptist
Ministers' in Massachusetts for thirty
one years. lie did considerable literary
work outside his newspaper duties and
some of his publications have had exten
sive circulation.
The Register and News of Randolph,
Mass., says :
Dr. Foster was one of those rugged,
positive, staunch men, who, knowing
and feeling that he was right, could not
be swerved one iota from the path laid
down. He was firm, invincible, ready at
all times to defend his honor and his
faith, without flinching even in the face
of a supposed superior foe; and yet he
was just as staunch in his friendships,
kindly, and ever ready to perforin what
ever would be pleasurable and profit
able. The body was taken to Randolph
where funeral services were held in the
Baptist church, after which it was taken
to Beverly, Mass., for interment.
Dull Times Abroad.
An old grave-digger who lived iu a
well-known village at the foot of the
Grampians was one day complaining
about the dullness of the times. "Man,
John, is trade that bad wi1 ye?M said a
sympathetic neighbor. "Bad'' returned
John, bringing his staff down with an
impatient gesture; "I havena buried a
leevin' sowl this sax weeks.' Ijmdon
Chronicle.
Entertainments Xxt Season.
The entertainments during the last sea
son have been so well conducted and so
satisfactory in their results that it has
been decided by the management to
make an especial feature of these amuse
ments for the next year. For this pur
pose Mr. Alfred St. ( lair, the well-known
New York teacher, has been specially
engaged to train the voices, to conduct
and manage all the entertainments of the
season, in conjunction with the committee
on entertainment and the visitors them
selves. The guests of the village have during
the season loaned their talents and time
with a great deal of interest to those en
tertainments, and they have each and
every one been an entire success credit
able in every manner.
It is now proposed that Mr. St. Clair
shall conduct a vocal studio where peo
ple can have their voices thoroughly
trained and prepared for opera, oratorio
and concerts by the celebrated "Lam
perti" system of training.
Mr. St. Clair will arrange for a play, a
farce or light comedy weekly, or as often
as the visitors may desire, and an opera
will be given by the vocal students as
opportunity presents; also part singing,
quartets, glees and trios will form parts
of the program, anil such days as may be
untit for outdoor exercise will be passed
very pleasantly and with profit to the
visitors.
The church choirs will also receive
special attention and will add much to
the pleasure of the Sunday service. An
especial feature will be m ule now and
then of an "Old Folks Concert."'
This will tend to promote good will
and friendly social intercourse among the
visitors and their friends for which
Pinehurst is already so well noted and
will make the place and its amusements
even more attractive than heretofore.
Mr. St. Clair, who will have charge of
the musical entertainments next year,
was a pupil of the older Lamperti for
seven years, and sang in grand opera at
La Scala, Milan and all through Europe,
England, Australia, Cape Town and
Cairo. He came to this country with
Madame Patti, having sung for six seasons
in her company, and was a member of
the Old Abbey & Grau and Dovle & Car
ter companies and is a noted choir mas
ter and teacher in New York.
He has been teaching for the past sea
son here and has given every possible
proof of his ability, and it is the univer
sal wish that he return next season.
A down east editor has drawn up
some new game laws, which he wants
adopted. The following is a summary:
"Book agents may be killed from Oc
tober 1 to September 1 ; spring poets,
from March 1 to June 1; scandal-mongers,
from April 1 to February 1 ; umbrella
borrowers, from August 1 to November
1 and February 1 to May 1; while every
man who accepts a newspaper two years,
and, upon being presented with his bill,
says, 'I never ordered it!' may be killed
on the spot, without reserve or relief."

PERSONAL MENTION.
Rev. R. B. Tobey of Boston, who with
his family resided in the village during
the season of 1S97-D8, and who has been
here for a short vacation this year, re
turned to his home the firs' of the week.
We are pleased to be able to say that
even during his short stay Mr. Tobey is
able to return home well rested for his
summer work. We had the pleasure of
heal ing Mr. Tobey on Easter Sunday and
the prayer meetings have been under his
leadership during his visit, to the profit
of those attending them. Mr. Tobey
will always be sure of a hearty welcome
whenever he can make us a visit.
J. K. Whipple of Boston and his
estimable wife left for home on Tuesday,
after a stay of three months at the
"Berkshire." They have been among
those who have largely assisted in pro
viding the enjoyable social entertain
ments which have made the "Berkshire"
so popular during the winter. The
Christian union services have received
their hearty support, and we have re
ceived the benefit of their Christian ex
perience and work while here. Their re
turn next season will be eagerly looked
for by the many friends they have made
in our village.
Among the guests who left Pinehurst
on Tuesday were Mr. and Mrs. C. II.
Plumb, who have spent the winter here.
They made a short visit to Pinehurst a
year ago and were so much pleased that
they decided to spend the entire season
here this year. Mr. Plumb is one of the
veteran landlords of the country, having
been for a great many years the proprie
tor of the noted Red Lion Inn in the
Berkshire Hills of Western Massachu
setts. His return now is somewhat
hastened by his desire to watch the com
pletion of a large addition that has been
built to that hostelry for the coining sea
son. Manager Tread way of the I lolly
Inn is a nephew of Mr. Plumb's and is
also his manager at the Red Lion Inn.
Mr. and Mrs. Plumb will be much missed
and every one will hope to see them in
Pinehurst again next winter.
Magnetized (nihrellii Hods.
Have you ever noticed whether your
umbrella is a magnet or not? A friend
of mine discovered by accident the
other day that his umbrella would pick
up a needle as skillfully as need be
The umbrella was one with a steel rod
and he wondered somewhat about this
peculiar property. It is commonly
known that various things take an urn
brella as if by magnetism, but that the
umbrella was given to that sort of taclu
itself was a surprise.
He had another umbrella of the same
sort, and upon investigation he found
that a stronger magnet than the first
He borrowed one from a friend, of the
same pattern, and this was so strong in
its magnetic power that it would lift :
key from the floor and hold it. Hi
wife's umbrella answered to the same
test.
There is something of a mystery about
all this. W hat magnetizes the umbrell
rod? Is it the natural current of elei
tricity passing through the steel rod as i
stands eiect in its place in the hall? Or
is the electricity generated by the act of
striking the umbrella upon the side
walks, when it is used as a cane, or how
is it done? Portland, Me., Express.
COTTON is and will con
tinue to be the money
crop of the South. The
planter who gets the most cot
ton from a given area at the
least cost, is the one who maker,
the most money. Good culti
vation, suitable rotation, and
liberal use of fertilizers con
taining at least 3 actual
Potash
will insure the largest yield.
We will send Tree, upon application,
pamphlets that will interest every coitoti
planter in the South.
