MAXINE ELLIOTT'S ENGLISH HOMEMany American acton spend their vaca­

tion* abroad, but Nat Goodwin i* the first to buy himself a home across the sea. Mr. Goodwin has long been a wanderer on the face of the earth without hearth or home but be has recently purchased an English country seat,which is said to be the most beau- ful estate owned by any of the American stage folk.

It was his wedding gift to Maxine Elliott, although the negotiations had been pending for several months before his marriage. The place is situated in the midst of Kent and reckoning distance according to the English fashion is half an hour from London. It was built by an English nobleman about thirty years ago in strict imitation of the country houses of Queen Elizabeth’s time.

The house is set on the last of a series of terraces and is approached hy a winding road that leads through a small park of ancient trees, for the estate is part of the old Crown Woods. The entrance lodge is as picturesque as a thatched roof and latticed windows can make an abode and is half hidden in the rink foliage of great trees. The lowest ter­race is divided into tennis courts and a prom­enade, the second is devoted to a flower gar­den and the higher terrace, inclosed by a baluitraded wall, makes an out of door re­ception room.

The manor house itself looks as if it had been rooted there for centuries, so faithfully has the architect given it the air and fashion of the olden time. It is a half timbered and piaster structure in the Tudor style. The windows are the most notable feature of the exterior. They are numerous and leaded with diamond shaped panes. Inside the Elizabethan effect is much stronger.

The great entrance hall is square and pan­eled from floor to ceiling in daik woods. The morning room, dining-room and study are on the same level and are also paneled elaborately. The ceilings, however, in all the rooms are of plaster. The large drawing­room is on a higher level and opens directly on the upper terrace. The walls are of an­tique oak and massive bookcases are built into recesses. A beautifully carved mantel with a clock in the center occupies almost the whole of one wall and every window is pro­vided with a deep seat from which can be seen the succession of terraces, sinking away into the wood.

The bedrooms are enormous, according to American notions, many of them being more than twenty feet square, and they are pro­vided with all the dressing rooms, bath rooms and closets dear to the heart of the English architect. The domestic oflices on the ground floor are labyrinthian and consists of a great kitchen, housekeeper’s room, linen closets, storeroom, butler’s pantry, cook’s room,dairy, larder, kniferoom, coalbouse, lamproom, ser­vants’ hall, and all the unnamed closets of an English home.

The stables are on the same scale of room­iness anu complexity. The central stable has a large yard covered with glass where the horses can run and there are harness-rooms, grooms’ roomB galore, and on the turret is a chiming clock, as is the case in every well- regulated country house of fiction.

Forty-four acres of land comprise the es­tate, and much of it is given up to the gar­dens. The kitchen garden is protected by a high stone wall and is stocked with fruit trees, besides greenhouses, a vinery And forcing pits. The flower-gsrden is full of choice rose trees and in the timbered land grow wild ferns and heather in the state of nature. The estate is known as one of the most complete small seats of southern Eng­land.

Mr. Goodwin, bis wife and sister-in-law, Miss Gertrude Elliott, have recently settled themselves here l#r tbeir fust summer in Kent, and intend to remain until fall engage­ments send tbem back to the theatres.— Chicago Chronicle.

Following is a copy of a letter sent by Captain Evans in replying to an article pub­lished by the Index, at Williamsport, Pa., praising Captain Philip of the Texas, for hit "after action prayer” and making a contrast between Captain Philip’s action and what is referred to by the paper as the "frequently published profanity" of Captain Evans:U . B. Iowa, First Rate, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,

July 33,1898.To the Editor of the Index, Williamsport

Pa.Dear S ir:—I beg to acknowledge the re­

ceipt today ol a copy of your paper which you hnve been good enough to send to me.

1 am somewhat at a loss to know whether you sent it for the purpose of calling my at­tention to the cusa words attributed to me in the newspapers, or to Captain Philip’s official show of Christian spirit in announcing to his men on the quarter deck of the Texas after the bAttle of Santiago that he believed in Almighty God. As, however, you have seen lit to drag ray name into your newspaper I hope that you will publish this reply that those who have read your issue of July 15, may also read what I have to say about it.

1 have never considered it necessary, and I am sure that a great majority of oflicers in the navy do not consider it necessary to announce to their crews that they "believe in Almighty God.” I think that goes without saying. We, each of us, have the right to show by our actions how much we are imbued with this belief. Captain Philip had a perfect right to show this to his men as he did; it was simply a matter of taste.

Now for myself. Shortly after the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya had struck her colors, and my crew had secured the guns, the chaplain of the ship, an excellent man, came to me and said :

"Captain, shall I say a few words of thanks to Almighty God for our victory?”

1 said : "By all means do so; I will have the men sent aft for that purpose,” and was on the point of doing so when it was reported to me that a Spanish battleship was standing toward us from the eastward. My first duty to God and my country was to sink this Span­ish battleship, and I immediately made prep­arations to do so. When it was discovered that this ship was an Austrian I found my ship surrounded by boats carrying dying and wounded prisoners, and others of the crew of the late Vizcaya to the number of two hun­dred and filly. To leave these men to suffer for want of food and clothing while I called my men aft to ofler prayers was not my idea of either Christianity or religion. I pre­ferred to clothe the naked, feed the hungry and succor the sick, and I am strongly of the opinion that Almighty God has nut put a black mark against me on account of it. I do not know whether I shall stand with Captain Philip among the first chosen in the hereafter but I have this to say in conclusion, that every drop of blood in my body on the after­noon of July 3 was singing thanks and praise to Almighty God for the victory we had won.

Yours respectfully,(Signed) Roulk\ D. E vans.Captain U. S. N., Commander U. S.S.Iowa.

SENATOR WALLS IN BANGORAt the Bangor House on Monday was Sen­

ator Frederick S. Walls, Knox county, with Mrs. Walls. Referring to his visit the Bangor Commercial says; "Senator Walls came to Bangor on business of the state commission on new normal school. Senator Walla will re­main here until Tuesday. He says that busi­ness in his county is not over brisk, largely c n account of the war scare, but that people there are not seriously affected and know of the trouble only through the newspapers. On Monday afternoon, Senator Walls called on friend* about Bangor. He is very well known all through the eastern state; probably he was the most popular member in the upper house in the 68th legislature. On Mondayjafternoon, he passed a few hours at his hotel with Sena­tor-Elect Nathaniel M. Jones, of Northern Penobscot, giving that gentleman points on the conduct of members of tbe upper cham­bers of the Augusta government.

Senator Walls is chairman of the state com­mission appointed to look into the claims for a new nurmal school. It will be remembered that at the last session of the legislature sev­eral petitions for a new school caine in. Ban­gor, Houlton, Cherryfield and other towns and citiei wanted a new school, and all of them thought the institution belonged with them. The matter dropped from view after a while, and very few, if any, of the members realized that the legislature hau passed a bill provid­ing for a commission to look into the idea.

However, the governor appointed Senator Wails as chairman, and associated with him Gen. John Harper of Lewiston, and Albert K. llawkes, Esq., of Windham. Tbe con mission are making its tour of tbe state, beginning on Tuesday morning. The other members met Senator Walls in Bangor that day.

Tbe commission went at once to Calais, and will then visit Houlton and Presque Isle, and possibly other towns in that part of Maine.

Lewiston Journal.—One of tbe bidders for the contract of doing the paving for Lewiston this year was Mr. Crockett of Vinalhaven, father of Dr. Crockett of Lewiaton. But at the last minute Mr. Crockett telegraphed to bis son in Lewiston that paving blocks bad gone up in New York and that he didn’t want to bother with the Lewiston job. So no sped men paving stone was bought here from Vi nalhaven to show tbe committee. A Lewis ton man represented the Crockett concern Another bidder waa a Portland concern which employs Italians and which bid one cent leas than Thornton 6l Crccdcn. But it waa thought beat to keep the money in Lewiston and give it to some one who would employ local men.

Herbert A. Emmons of this city who is with the Maine Signal Corps, as a telegraph operator, wn'es home to his mother, Mrs. L. D. Emmons, Summer street, the following interesting letter:

SmoMBT, C u b a , July 14, 1*98.I suppose you are wondering where I am

at more or lest. We landed here live days ago and went to work the following morning at the signal office. I have charge nights. Now don't be scared because yellow fever is running here. The yellow fever specialist, Dr. Parker of New Orleans, was just in our quarters and stayed for 30 minutes explain­ing tbe disease and its cause and the pre­ventative measures to be taken by the men. He is a very interesting gentleman to talk to and baa had great experience with the fever, having been at New Orleans last year and at Edwards, Miss.

The town has been burned as a precaution­ary measure and the Cubans who came out of the hills when we landed have been tent back. Six days ago there was only one case known. This morning there were 250 cases on tbe rolls and the doctor just said he had 75 more to send out to the fever camp. There have been only five deaths, and those were cases of men who had lain in the trenches before Santiago with slight wounds and lived on one day’s rations for two or four days as they have in a great many cases, being unable to get food.

There were no roads in Cuba until we built them less than a month ago and a military road is a good deal better than some but teamsters and mules have been tick, packers sick, and the commissary has been unable to get suflicient food to tbe front, 15 miles from here. The fever here is mostly confined to those from the treqehes caused by exposure and insufficient food.

One man from the Corps who preceded us on duty here has been in the fever hospital for seven days, and will be discharged in a few days. He is the captain of the regular army signal corps.

The disease comes from the air and from old houses. There are no bouses here now and the germs cannot get a hold on the canvas tents in which the men are quartered, so there is not much danger of an epidemic. At every precaution it being taken sanitary conditions are nearly perfect and those coming in now are ^tbose who caught it from ex- insure. It is not fatal if you report at the hospital when you feel symptoms of it, head­ache, nausea, backache and legs aching in the morning. The doctor said tonight he had 45 men this morning who had had the fever and were almost ready to be discharged from tbe hospital, and they have only been there a little over a week, so its not a severe form.

The signal corps are in good health but tired. Lots of hard work has been done, uniting wires over mountains and carrying

our outfits until we stole mules. They will live on nothing to speak of and carry a very large load on their back. We have three here now that we stole and two horses of tbe oifiteis. We had to leave our wagons and 12 mules in Port Tampa and flew light with only our tents, blankets, ponchos and two boxes of supplies when we should have had one wagon load of instruments, tools, etc., and one telegraph office on wheels with a tel­ephone switchboard, which would have made our work easy. I just found some instruments tonight which will make the work easier tomorrow.

The young man who was assistant manager, of the Postal telegraph office with ine at Springfield was transferred from the 2nd Mas­sachusetts to the balloon squad and is here. He was one of those who went up on tbe fir­ing line on July 1st at Santiago. l ie got hurt on a stake on tbe balloon basket, a small rup­ture, and while on the way to the hospital the ambulance overturned and he got another bump which did him no good. He has been working very hard and is not very well. He walked to the front yesterday and got his dis­charge and will leave on the first ship and will take this letter out of the lines with him. This w ll probably be fumigated but you had better ourn it as there might be some germs of smallpox in tbe stationery as it has been around the cflice some time.

1 was vaccinated in Tampa, but it did not take. There is no disease here but yellow fever and 'malarial and trench fever and that with the great precautions taken by all of us is not likely to bother any of us here.

Commodore Schley came in as I was eating iny dinner the other day and tat down and took a lunch of baked beans with me. H e’s

jolly one. He had just been giving the Spaniards his compliments with his 13 inch guns and Shafter shut him off. He was a little mad.

Santiago surrendered today and tbe terms are not yet known to us. Tbe Rough Riders had tbeir battle about two miles from here and there are 95 Spaniards buried there and seven Rough Riders.

Those men know no fear and fought terribly. An English officer who was with tbe Ameri­can forces said that tbe charges of the "Light Brigade” and Gettysburg are no comparison to the desperate valor of the American forces. There have been 1580 casuaUies since tbe Americans landed, 450 killed, rest wounded and missing. Most of tbe missing are in hos-

Department Commander of the Union Vet­erans Union of Maine, Col. W. T. Euitis of Dixfieid, waa in Bangor Thursday on his re­turn from Oldtown, where he viiited the Gorham A. Folaom command. He reports tbe U. V. U. of Maine aa in a nourishing con­dition. The latest command is at Togui, which numbers 75 charter members. The an­nual encampment will he held in Rockland in October, and it ia expected th ,t there will be a large attendance from the various com­mands.

Boston Globe: The engagement is an­nounced of Miss Marv (Hidden, daughter of John M. Glidden of Newcastle, and George Scott Winslow of Boston, Both are general favorites in the large circle of their acquain­tances. Mr. Winslow, who is a Harvard man, class '83, is admired, among other qualities, for his unwavering real and devotion to every­thing that pertains to the credit and advance­ment of Harvard's athletic interests. One of hit sisters is married to an Englishman and lives abroad. H it other sister, Miss Eleanor Winslow, is a society favorite. Both have at­tended the queen’s drawing room.

The Belfast Farm creamery is now fully eatablished In its new quarters in the Kodolf building on Common street, Belfast. The creameiy occupies the lower floor, 2,700 square feet and one-hall tbe second floor, over 1,200 square feet. The cream ii received on the tecond floor, where the separating and pasteurizing appliances are located. These consists of a De Laval separator of a capacity of 1,500 pounds per hour, and a pasteurizing vat of 250 gallons. The Babcock test is used. The creamery 11 now receiving 500 gallons ol cream and 75 gallons of milk per day. There are 140 cream patrons and 12 milk patrons, furnishing the product of over 1,200 cows.

Chaplain Cummings of Auburn, who is col­lecting funds for the comfort of Maine sol­dier! either at the front or in camp, haa met many instances of patriotism in the past few weeks, but nothing has touched him more than the offering of a q 'J years old child who with hn mother called on Mr, Cummings Tuesday with hit contribution for the soldiers. He had a bank with 75 cents in it, the sav ingi of weeks, and he wanted Mr. Cummings to send it to the men who have gone to war. And the little fellow was very persistent in the matter. l ie wanted to do it and he let his lamily have no peace till the thing was done. Such youthful patriotism as this is certainly to be commended. Rev. Mr. Cum­mings did not lesrn the boy’s name although be tried to get it.

GRANITE STATE STOCK

ENGLISH POLITICS

The sentimental and informal alliance which, it is asserted, already exiata between England and the United States undoubtedly meets with hearty approbation from the heir apparent to the throne of Great Britain. It is a significant and possibly a momentous fset that the Prince of Wales entertains very large vlewi as to the future of the English speaking people, and It may transpire that the personal opiniona and desires of Queen

pitals unaccounted for.I am going over to the front tomorrow if 1

can get by the “provo” guard and ace some of my Massachusetts friends from Springfield and take out some grub. Guess I can get a mule and load biin up. There ia not much fruit right around here. Cocoanuts and man­groves are all we see on the coast but there are oranges, limes, lemons, pineapples aud any quantity of wild honey outaide of the city.

THE COST OF THE MAINESpain has already lost her navy. Tbe P«

layo aud tbe Carlos V. are all that remain of her lighting ships. As a naval power Spain now ranks with Chili or with Portugal.

Spain has also lost all of her colonies which were of any importance. This is had enough, hut “ worse remains behind."

With tbe.loss of her naval power and of her colonial empire Spain drops from the rsuk of the hrat-class powers of the world. Unable cither to help or harm, not worth regarding either as friend or foe, Spain loses her tank in diplomacy. Tbe Ambassadors at her court will he replaced by Ministers, and in the affairs of Europe and Ihc world she will have neither voice nor weight. Historic Spain, the Spain of great traditions and of some possibil­ities, came to an cod in that dark Digit when the Maine was blown up in Havana Harbor. —New York World.

Speaking of the effort being made by some speculators to buy up Granite State stock at 12 cents, Bank Examiner Tlmberlakc says:

"People in this slate who are selling Gran­ite State stock as low as 12 cents on the dol­lar are pursuing a very short-sighted course. In my opinion thpre will be in a very lew weeks a dividend of at least that sum. It would not at all surprise me if this dividend were to be declared inside of two weeks.

‘There is some over $450,000 worth of this stock owned in Maine, and if the holders keep on selling it at the rate they have started out the state will lose another $100,000 that would otherwise he distributed here in as­sets..

“Speaking conservatively, I should say that any person who sells stock at less than 15 cents on the dollar is ruinously discount­ing tbe future. Many parlies have approached me in regard to the matter and to all of them I have said that were l in the stock broker­age business I should consider it an excellent investment to buy up all the Granite State stock 1 could get bold of at 15 cents. 1 should consider then that I stood in for a good profit.

"Recently, Mr. Taggart, the New Hamp­shire assignee filed a petition asking that the Maine assets be removed to New Hampshire, to he afterwards acted on in that stale. This letition haa been contested by the Maine lolders. It hat been ruled that at tbe hear­

ing next week Mr. Taggart can he heard only on the pending question,and that it the mat­ter of the removal of the Maine assets. Mr. Taggart, is, however, entitled to an appeal from this ruling and therefore the exact course of tbe proceedings cannot lie fore­casted.

“But l reiterate my belief that the people of the state should bold on to tbeir slock at any offer below 15 per cent. There is a dividend near at hand.”lultam um tory Kfi.um M tl.m Cured lu it

When Mr. Gladstone heard tbe rumor that Miss Margot Tennant was tbe original of tbe heroine of Mr. Benson’s “ Dodo,” he wrote to that young lady: “ Before I bad made pro­gress in the book 1 absolutely acquitted tbe author ot all, even the faintest, idea of a por­traiture. (1) It would he too odious. (2) It would he too violent. (3) It would he too absurd. Some mere rag of casual resemblance may have been picked ofl the public road. Do you happen to remember that one time 1 used lo be identified in caricature through extravagantly high shirt collars ? Anyway, ii was so, and 1 think tbe illustration, if hardly ornamental, may indicate my meaning. At tbe same time, I have always held ana bold firmly, that anything out of which we may ex­tract criticism or reproof, just or unjust, esn be made to yield us profit, aud is lest danger­ous than praise.'’

Victoria’s oldest son will he of no inconsid­erable importance in the history of England and America.

The characler, capacity, and habits of thought of the l’rince of Wales are very dif­ferent Irom what those who know him not believe, very different from what ii, perhaps, the popular ides of his personality in this country. He is ordinarily credited with good sense and tactfulness, but not with that in­tellectual grasp which those who know him best assert that he possesses in an unusual degree. His mind hss been developed by contact for a generation with the best au­thorities an all'subjects. His menial ability is active, comprehensive, and profound, and if he ascends the throne of Great Britain the world will see no ordinary sovereign ruling at Westminister.

Such a view of the character of the Prince of Wales is presented hy Ihc writer of a masterly article in the August number of Harper’s Magazine. The paper is unsigned and entitled “ If the Queen had Abdicated." The author1! opinions are backed by a num­ber of convincing anecdotes, and there is a happy freedom from the odor of sycophancy which usually pervades such tributes to royal personages.

An interesting portion of the article is de­voted to a discussion of the proposed abdica­tion of Queen Victoria in 1857. Such a step was strongly advocated by Iler Majesty at the completion of the sixtieth year of her reign, and the political reasons which led to its abandonment make a curious chapter iu tbe domestic and diplomatic history of the em­pire. It is strange that momentous events like this often hinge upon causes which seem almost ludicrously insignificant. Such facts make anecdote collections and what is known as "secret history" of the utmost interest to the general reader as well as to the historical student.

The death of Mr. Gladstone has released a store of suggestive reminiscenses of a personal nature which bear in this way upon many of the important events of the history of the world during the last twenty-live years, George W. Smalley, lor example, has con tributed to the August Harper's a most reads hie paper of anecdotes, based upon personal experiences with Mr. Gladstone, which throws a strong, and, in many respects, a new light upon the character and traits of the eminent statesman. l.ordRoseherv once said that Mr, Gladstone’s life could only be written by 1 limited liability company. Mr. Smalley has made no attempt to write his life, but be has furnished much valuable material for a possi­ble biographer. This reminiscent article is to he followed in a subsequent issue of the same magazine by Mr. Smalley's estimate of the character and career of the great prime minis ter.

The cartoons reproduced in the August Review of Reviews from Spanish journals serve to indicate the density of popular ignor- ance in Spain as to the facts of the present war. For instance, one cartoon shows Cer- vera’s fleet as successfully slipping past Samp* son at Santiago; another represents Ccrvera as having Schley bottled up; while in a third Admiral I >ewcy figures as a rat caught in Spain's Philippine trap.

When the dailies began to issue Sunday supplements the death-knell was sounded for many a so-called literary weekly. Papers like the New Ytrk Tribune and Times now issue genuinely literary supplements of con­venient form and sire. Each number gives as much varied reading of high quality as is furnished by the average magazine, excepting long fiction. If papers like these continue to improve this department we may expect a good many monthli s to take on new features, or take themselves off.

In the old Boston Token of 1831 appeared two sketches which have never been attributed to Hawthorne, but which give unmistakable evidence that he was their author. One of these tales, entitled "The Haunted Quack,” by "Joseph Nicholson” is given in full with a critical account, by F. B. Sanborn, in the New England Mags/ine, for August, as "A New Twice-Told Tale.” " I t was,” says Mr. Sanborn, "the rough and humorous sketch which he afterwards worked up with so much variety in *I)r. Heidegger's Experiment,’ ‘Dr. Grimsehwe's Secret,' 'Septimius Felton,' and 'The Dolliver Romance.’ ”

Henry James thinks that nothing is more striking than the invasive part played by the clement of dialect in the subject-matter of the American fiction of the day. Most of tbe "cleverness,” he says, goes to the study of the conditions in which colloquial speech ar­rives at complete debasement, and the great successes are nor, therefore, the studies of the human plant under cultivation, but of what we call the "lower” classer. The above is the gist of his remarks on "The Novel of Dialect" in his American letter in this week's Literature, and it is interesting to compare it with what Mr. Howells said in the preceding number about the illimitable bourgeoise being the richest field, and more characteristic than either extreme of the social scale.

The account of the Battle of Manila Bay which has been written for the August Cen­tury by Joci C. Evans, gunner of the Boston, refers especially to the bravery of the Chinese servants whom Admiral Dewey has just re­commended for citizenship. Mr. Evans says: "The Chinese servants, ordinarily used for fetching ami carrying,were impressed inio ser­vice, and showed courage and skill. They showed as much nerve as the Americans. They toiled at the whips and in lifting and carrying the ammunition. Their faces were as impassive as when serving dinner in Hong- Kong harbor. They chattered to each other in their own language, and laughed in their celestial way, when a shot, striking the fore­mast, shook the ship, caused the paint to scale off the mast a foot from us, and the angle- lines which strengthen it inside to rattle loudly. 'Velly good,' said one, and mechan­ically resumed his task. They, too, were curious; and when some man would sing out from the ports that we had struck a Spanish ship they were at happy as wc.” Thia arti­cle is one of three accounts of the battle, written by eye-witnesses, that will appear in the August Century. The other articles are by Colonel George A. Loud, formarly pay­master of the McCulloch, and Dr. Charles 1*. Kindleberger, junior surgeon of the < ilympia.

Short stories by Kudyard Kipling, Row­land E. Robinson, William Allen White, Cutcliffc Ilyne, and several others, make McClure's Magazine for August especially a fiction number. In Mr. Kipling's story we have a new and mont diverting chapter in the lives of those most ingenious and audacious English school boys—Stalky, Beetle, and Me- Turk. In Mr. White’s wc have an account of the real passion of our old friend, the King of Boyvilic, Winfield Hancock Bennington— familiarly kuown as " I ’iggy.” The other stories are no less characteristic of their authors; and all are interesting, cheerful, and wholesome, affording a diversion that is both nutritious and palatable. The fiction, how­ever, is by no means all that is noteworthy in the number. It contains a religious poem by Mr. Gladstone; an |account by Colonel Andrew S. Rowan of a peculiarly hazardous secret journey made by him accross Cuba, after the war was begun, in order to carry messages from our government to the insur­gents; the conclusion of Charles A. Dana’s reminiscences, giving new information regard­ing the fall of Richmond, the assassination of Liocolo, the arrest of Jefferson Davis, and other events at tbe close of the war; and an account by Major-General Miles of his obser­vations and experiences as a guest of honor, last year, at special royal reviews and man<* avers iu Russia, Germany, and France. The illustrations of tbe number are remarka­bly fine; and so is tbe special cover designed by Kenyon Cox.

“ We’ve trot Potich," said a Rockland man on hearing of the surrender of Ponce. These Spanish names are very evasive.

We will all sympathize with the Knox cotintv boys if they get sent home without doing any active fight­ing, but their wives, mothers and sweethearts will be just as glad to see them.

The campaign in Porto Rico leading up to the occupation of Ponce cost the American army in casualties only four men slightly wounded. Onr style of fighting shown at Santiago has not in­creased the Spanish nppetite for, more.

With its eyes on America the Lou­don Spectator is inclined to think that “ with gcod officers and an able stall, three months’ instruction turns out men competent to light great battles.” The theory is sound if the men are United Slates volunteers.

Havana owes its immunity from attack to the yellow fever. Bat for the pestilential daugers of the city it would have been besieged ns soon as the army was ready to move. A hun­dred thousand American volunteers would have made short work of the business.

When Gen. Merritt arrived at Manila lie heard for 1 lie first time that Cervera's ileet had been destroyed, Santiago surrendered with 24,000 men and Camara's squadron recalled. Yet he was beyond the reach of the tele­graph only twenty-four days. The charge that the war is slow has been silenced.

AVIien Congress meets in December the President and Secretary Long will recommend nil appropriation for the construction of three battle-ships and three armored cruisers at an aggre­gate cost of $17,000,000, the vessels to be of the latest designs, of high speed, splendidly armored and well protected. Hereafter the United States on the sea will be second to nobodv.

There seems to be a hitch in the peace proceedings, presumably caused by Spain's desire to secure better terms. But this doesn’t worry Uncle Sam, who is moving steadily forward with|his aggressive war measures—and everybody is willing ro acknowledge that he knows how to make war in the very' liveliest and most efficacious fashion. Spain’s delay in accepting President McKinley’s terms will avail her nothing; she will only have the more to pay for every day she plays “ mamma.”

Gen. Joe Wheeler has written from Cuba to liis constituents in the eighth Alabama district that he will be a cun- didate for Congress this fall. A cor­respondent says that but for Gen. Wheeler the American forces would have retreated from before Suntiago on the evening of July 1. He was ad­vised to do so by many biave regular army officers,^but he replied: “ No,the Spaniards are worse ofl than we are. Pass that word along our lines.” It is hardly worth while to speak of Gen. Wheeler as a candidate for re- election. An old soldier who insisted on staying at the frout, thouch reduced by sickness to a litter, is an good as re-elected. The voting will be a for­mality.

“ It is now nil open secret that not a single fighting ship of Admiral Cam­ara’s squadron is in fit condition to go into action. The Pelayo’s boilers have given out, the firing gear and turrets of the Charles V. are unmanageable, the Andaz is completely used tip by the recent excursion to the Suez, and the armaments of the auxiliary cruis­ers arc lamentably defective. In case of any hitch in the peace negotiations, the Pclayo and Carlos V. would under no circumstances risk an engagement here or in the open sen, but would take refuge behind the formidable forts of Cartagena.” Thus writes a Cadiz correspondent, and it marks the end of poor old Spain as a sea power.

Consternation was caused recently in the Russian court by an order from the Czarina forbidding cigarct smok­ing in her presence. But nobody who has ever smelt a cigarct blames the Czarina.

GOLD DEMOCRATS NOMINATE

The National Democrat* held a county con­vention in Watt* Hall, Thomaston, Thursday afternoon and nominated Dr. Theodore L. Eatabroolc for state senator. It was deemed advisable to not make any other nominations a: this time. Dr. Estabrook is one of the best known residents of Knox county, and the sound money advocates are confident he will poll a good, substantial vote.

The convention of the National Democratic party in the second Maine district was held in Bath Wednesday afternoon. C. F. Kelly of Bath presided and George H. Weeks of Damariscotta served as secretary.

Hon. John F. Harwood of Bowdoinham presented the first item of business by re­porting the following platform;

"As members of the National Democratic party of the Second Congressional district in convention assembled, we denounce the free and unlimited coinage of silver as inevitably producing silver monometallism.

*‘We advocate the maintenance of the gold standard and the coinage of silver lor subsidiary purposes in such amounts as suits the requirements of commerce, subject to such legislative limitations os will unques­tionably maintain the parity of both metals.

"We denounce the further maintenance of the present patchwork of national paper currency as a constant source of injury and peril. We assert the necessity of such intelli­gent currency reform as will confine the gov­ernment to its legitimate functions, completely separated from the hanking business and afford to all sections of our country a uni­form, safe and elastic bank currency under governmental supervison, measured in volume by the needs of business, as recommended by the National Democratic convention which assembled at Indianapolis in 1S96.

‘•We heartily agree with our honored candidate for the governorship of Maine, Hon. Erastus Lermond, in strongly opposing a protective tariff which taxes all the people for the benefit of the few, believing with him that it is an absurd and contradictory policy to seek foreign trade while we erect barriers against it."

This platform was adopted without dis­cussion. On motion of Jeremiah Harrington of Rockland, the name of F. W. S. Blanch­ard was presented as the candidate for con­gressional representative, an4 the choice w as unanimously made by acclamation.

The members of the school board solved the school superintendency question W ed­nesday night by electing to that position Frank H. Hill of South Portland. Although there were something like 20 candidates for the office the contest virtually narrowed down to four applicants, Mr. Hill; Mr. Fuller, a graduate of Brown; and Misses Shelton and Coughlin of this city. The sentiment of the hoard showed a preference for a male

Thursday’. Bolton paper, and the Lewiston Journal contained the rather unexpected news that the Fir.t Maine was one of seven regi­ments at Chickamauga which had been de­tailed to go to Porto Rico. Only a few days previous the general tenot of the despatches seemed to be that the boys would soon be back in Augusta and this sudden change of base was a great surprise. The regiment has been assigned to the 6th brigade with the

superintendent, although the claims of Misses Third Tennessee and First Maryland.Coughlin and Shelton were recognized and the board felt strongly disposed to give one of the ladies a trial. Mr. Fuller, the Brown University graduate, also prepossessed the board favorably but the gentleman frankly admitted that be had had no experience and the board felt it must insist on this point.

After several ballots had been taken the choice finally centered upon Mr. Hill.

Frank H. Hill is 30 years of age, married, and has two children. He was educated in the public schools of Cape Elizabeth and at Bowdoin College, graduating from the latter institution in 1889. He read law and was admitted to practice by the Cumberland County Bar. About thia time he was elected a member of the Cape Elizabeth school board and became the first superintendent of schools there when the law waa passed abol­ishing the district school system. He hasserved as superintendent for five years, and with only seven regiments to fit out. There

Thu London Time, is correct in its assertion that “ if Spain is permitted to reassume sovereignly over the Phil­ippines she will have to engage in u war of couquest which might be at­tended with serious consequences to American and other interests iu the Pacific.” The ultimate fate of the Philippines is somewhat uncertain, but it is entirely certain that Spain’s control over them will never be re­stored. When we complete the con­quest of them, as we will if the war lasts a month louger, they will be out of Spain's bands forever. One of the terms of peace, if peace comes as a consequence of Spain’s present move, or pretended move, iu that direction, will probably be the relinquishment of ail Spain’, authority iu the PhUippiues, and the authority, when it is given up will never he resumed. The exact disposition which the United States will make of the islands can uot be determined until cueful consideration is given 10 the questiou after the war ends, but they will uever be relumed to Spaiu.

taught ichool at Cape Elizabeth three yean preriouily. The tebool population of that town is 1747. There are 28 teachers and the High scboSl has a principal and two assistants, so that the town compares very nearly to Rockland in the extent ol its school system.

Alvin C. Dresser, formerly principal of the Rockland High school but now an attorney in Portland, wrote Mayor Butler regarding Mr. Hill as follows:

P o rtlan d . U e., Aug. 3, 189$, My D kar M r . B c t l e r :

I understand from Mr. Frank II. Hill that he is a candidate for Superintendent of the Rockland schools. I feel interested in your schools and in Mr. Ilill and so cannot refrain from bothering you enough to say a good word in his behalf.

I have known him since the fall of 1885 when he entered college in the class after my own. Since coming to Portland I have been associated much with the people of South Portland, where Mr. Hill has had charge of the school interests for several years, and have been led for certain reasons to in­vestigate its schools with some care. I am satis­fied Mr. Hill has done good work there and that he would equally prove a c esirable man for you. The school population there nearly equals your own and I am satisfied that only his own modesty has kept him from a much better position long before this. If you de­cide in Mr. Hill's favor I should he much gratified and I think that you would make a wise decision so tar as your own interests are concerned. Very truly yours,

A. C . D r e sse r .Frederick H. Harford, another Portland

attorney, wrote to a member of the the Rock­land school board, the following addittonal endorsement:

August 2, 1898.M y D e a r S ir :

I have learned that Frank II. Hill of Cape Elizabeth, formerly a part of my town, is an applicant for supeivisor of your schools. I have known Mr. Hill from bis birth and have watched his career through college with more than passing interest. He comes from a glbd family and is a most worthy young man. His success in educational matters has been phenomenal, so much so that my town, South Portland, secured his services as supervisor, which position he held for sev­eral years and has just retired by reason of the election of one of our own people. Our schools are large, numbering I think about two thousand and our people take a great in­terest in them, and it takes a man of excep­tional ability to please the varied tastes. Mr. Hill has done that and more. He has in­augurated many improvement; in the meth­ods of instruction and they hav: heen re­ceived most favorably. I have no hesitancy in saying that if you want a first-class man you will find that Mr. Hill will fill the hill.

Yours very truly,F\ H. Hareokd.

According to the Lewiston Journal corres­pondent, the news acted like a tonic on the camp’s sick boys. Already they are more cheerful and are looking forward to new scenes with eagerness. The doctors say the change and sea voyage will he a wonderful bracer. Even in the hospitals the poor fel­lows are braced up, pleading with the surgeons to hasten their recovery so they might go along.

The fact that her regiment should be one of the seven to leave Camp Thomas should be specially gratifying to the Pme Tree State. The others from here are the 52nd lows, First New Hampshire, Third Tennessee and First Arkansas.

Quartermaster Rice is hustling in the rest of our equipment, consisting of cartridge belts, trousers, leggings and bayonet scabbards. There are still seven mule teams coming to us

should be no delay and the Camp Thomas quota can be on the seas within a week.

It is generally believed that the First Maine will not arrive on the scene in time to partici­pate in the fighting at Porto Rico, but the boys are anxious to see a little active service before the war closes, and the parents and relatives who are praying that peace will be declared before they get there, are|[not at all in accord with the sentiment of the soldiers who have been cooped up in a sweltering Southern town.

Every sea captain who ever visited Potto Rico it authority for the statement that there it no more healthful climate to be found in the world.

We reported in our last issue the arrival at Dry Tortugas of the auxiliary cruiser Badger, Cora. A. S. Snow, of Rockland, with prizes. The associated press dispatch from Key West of date of Aug. 4 states:

The Badger was covering the blockade station at Neuvitas on July 26 when one of the Spanish boats slipped stern foremost to the mouth of the harbor aud took a peep at her.

The American ship scared her and she scurried back to shelter. A little while later however, three vessels were observed coming out, and Capt. Snow thought a good fight was coming. Me brought his ship up to the mouth of the harbor and proposed to give the Spaniards a greeting, when it was discovered that instead of gunboats the advancing ships were a tug, a brig aud a barge, the last in tow, all flying Spanish and Red Cross flags. A couple of shots from a six pounder were iiied in their direction and they promptly surren­dered. The tug was the Huraborto Rodriguez, which had on board $10,000. The brig was the Safi and the barge was the San Fernando. A party from the Badger boarded the prizes and found on board four hundred Spanish soldiers, who it was said had been ordered to Havana. The surgeon in charge asserted there were six cases of yellow fever amoiig the troops, but a careful examination by the Badger’s doctors and afterward by other physicians at Tortugas showed that there was no infection among the men and that the Red Cross Hags were use«l as a decoy. At Nuevitas the Badger also took aboard eight deserters from the Spanish army who are still on board the ship.

The Badger with het prizes reported to Commodore llowell off Havana, who ordered them to the Tortugas.

At that place Capt. Snow communicated with the Washington authorities and was in­structed to send all the prsoners to Havana, if one ship could carry them, if not to put some of them on a second ship and send them to New York.

The iSth annual reunion of the 6th Maine Veteran Association will be held in this city Aug. 23, 24 and 25. One fare for the round trip. Members wanting rooms will notify II. S. Hobbs of this city. James B. Ncagle of Lubec is the secretary of the As­sociation. Mr. Hobbs is the only Rockland man belonging to the association but Edwin Libby Post is going to help him give the vis­itors a bang-up good time.

The Free Baptist Sunday School had its annual picnic Wedneidav, going to White Head on the schooner R. K. Kinney, that craft being in low o f the tug Somers N. Smith. At White Head the picnickers visited the life saving station and were very much interested with what they saw. The day was delightfully spent.

A difference of opinion seems to exist among those who arc considered authorities in regard to tbe apple crop of the state. It has been widely circulated that (he crop would be a total failure, but it is now asserted that io some sections there will be a fair yield. It is to be hoped that this is true, as the apple industry of Maine has become quite an im­portant one and has brought a good deal of money into the state. Reports regarding other crops are very encouraging. The hay crop will be the largest in the histcry of the state, and in some parts there is such an abundance of grass that big fields will not be cut at all. It will either be turned in with a plough or left to decay on the stem.

Next Sunday will be a big day at North- port. The steamer Mctryconeag, Capt. Archibald, will take an excursion there and to Verona Park, leaving Tillson's wharf at 7.30 a. 111, while a big excunion will run to Northport front Bangor. The Bangor Whig and Courier referring to the latter excursion says: "Next Sunday Messrs. Reed & Moun- taine will run the biggest excursion of the season to Northport in the steamer Salacia. The excuraion will arrive at Northport at noon, and the Belfast and Oldtown bands will be consolidated under the leadership of Frank Rigby, of Belfast. 1 hese two bands will play a concert at Northport at 2 o'clock. Excursions will be run from other places to Northport tbe same day and a big crowd will be there. A collection will be taken and tbe proceeds will be sent to the Maine Volunteer Aid Association for tbe benefit of the Maine troops in the army.”

At tbe home of Mra. II. M. Lord and Miaa Adelaide M. Crocker on < irange street, Tues­day evening, occurred a very pleasant social function in tbe form of a musical given by those ladies complimentary to tbe charter members of the First Baptist Choral Associa­tion. The apartments were tastefully deco­rated, while the piazza was illuminated by Japanese lanterns and American flags were profusely displayed. That the musical and lit­erary program was a moat enjoyable one will be readily gathered from a glimpse at the pro­gram. This included tbe following numbers: Piano solo, Fred A. Whitcomb; soprano tolo, MisiAimee Marsb; reading,Miss Adelaide M. Crocker; vocal solo, Miss Nellie M. Cole; vo­cal duet, Miss Jennie F'. Ingraham and Mias Sarah M. flail; bass solo, George E. Torrey; soprano solo, Miss Jennie Ingraham; lullaby, Mines Hall, Matsb and Perry; reading, Fred W. Newcotnbe; contralto tolo, Mils Elizabeth M. Perry; soprano solo, Miss Carolyn Blood; selection, Miriam Quartet. Punch and other light refreshments were served.

"Your shade is earnestly desired at a ghostly gathering at 58 Warren street, Tues­day evening, Aug. 2, at 8L> o'clock. Ghostly costume and face coveiiug is requested.” Such was the wording of tbe invitation sent by Miss Imogcse Parker to Tbe Courier- Gazette foice and a few o.bcr ftteoda. The affair was all tbe invitation implied. The guests were attired in costumes of tbe reguia-

I tion shade aud lor an bout or more stalked I about tbe grounds, each one trying to guesa

the identity of the fellow ghosts. Prizes I were given, the first for guesting tbe largest

number going to Miss Edith Ash, while Ed. Cox won ibe booby. His Satanic Majesty, personated by Sumner Parker of Massachu­setts, was a profound mystery. Refreshments wrre served and ghostly games played. Each guest has a souvenir with pen and ink sketches, tbe work of Miss Parker. Many timet in the past Mist Parker hat demon­strated her abilities as an entertainer and tbe occasion of Tuesday evening wet no excep­tion to the rule. It was alter midnight when the party broke up.

Tbe Maine division of wheelmen hat voted to pay 1 25 to any party giving information that will lead to the conviction of parties guilty of throwing tacks on the streets.

Tbe supreme court room and adjoining apartments are radiant with new paint,varnish and a thorough cleaning in anticipation of next month’s session. We warrant there isn't a better kept court house in Maine than Knox county's handsome building.

Eben I.ewia of Boothbay made a haul of 160 barrels of No. I mackerel at Matinicua this week. They averagad about 90 to the barrel and the catch must have netted the fortunate fisherman fully $1000. It is by far the best catch of the season on this part of the coaat.

"W e have more hay over our way than we know what to do with,” said a resident of the Meadows Wednesday. The crop was a perfect one and, as this paper has already told, was harvested for the most part under extremely favorable conditions. New hay sella for $6 and 1 7 a ton.

The moonlight excursion to Bartlett's Harbor, North Haven, Tuesday night, was one of the most enjoyable events of the sea­son. There were just enough passengers so that the boat was neither crowded nor lone­some. The moon shone remarkably clear and from the time that the boat started until ita return there was not a cloud to obscure the aky. At North Haven a clambake and sup­per were served. The excursion was under the management of Herbert Farr and Luther Smith.

In the case ol Fremont E. Timberlakr, bank examiner, in equity, ys. Granite State Provident zYssociation, now pending in the Supreme Judicial court, a hearing wSs bad in Portland, Wednesday, and the Master’! re port was accepted, allowing the claims of the various Maine creditors and shareholders who are lo share in a dividend. Upon petition to the court to order a dividend to the Maine shareholders, the Hon. Henry B. Cleaves, Receiver in Maine, suggested that 20 per cent could now be paid. Upon the application of the assignee in New Hampshire, Mr. Taggart, a delay was granted until tbe September Rules, when action will be taken upon tbe propose dividend.

The Massachusetts training ship Enterprise sailed Wednesday morning for Bath minus three of her cadets. The latter had not de­serted, but partook too freely of the flowing bowl and coming down on the electric cars at a late hour sought to run the town accord ing to a fixed schedule of their own. Police­man Spear objected and reminded the feative youths that they were making too much noise. "Who the hell ever heard of you? asked one of tbe cadets. "I'll show you,” replied Ben, and summoning two other po licemen to his assistance, the three Enterprise ltudenta were soon on a cruise to the policestation. Wednesday forenoon t h s paid costa on charges of drunkenness s n S took the train for Bath, wiser and poorer. They laid they had been in the habit of doing just as they wanted to everywhere else, but somehow their privilege didn’t cover Rockland.

Rev. C. S. Cummings, or Cbsplain Cum mings as all Maine knows him now, left Wednesday for Chickamauga whete he will look over the situation for himself. His ad dress while there will be "First Maine Volun tcers, care Col. L. II. Kendall," although any mail with contributions for the volunteer aid fund may be sent to Auburn just the same. He will be away two or three weeks. In letter to Tbe Courier-Gazette, Rev. Mr. Com-

Bath Enterprise: Mrs. Laiscell, of Rock­land, whole husband is a special agent for the Traveler's Insurance Company, was in front of Thompson Bros.' store when the frame of the awning was pulled from the front of the build ing by a strong gust of wind and it struck her on the head knocking her down. Her head wai not cut but it was quite a shock and frightened her considerably.

The rainy weather makes no difference at Oak Hill Grove. The fine stage program is carried on just the same rain or shine. The big pavilion accommodates hundreds and none need stay away on account of weather. This it tbe second week of Boulden & Grif­fin's fun makers and they are fun-makers in earnest. High clats comedy and specialties constitute the program. Dance after the show.

Tbe races at Fairfield last Saturday resulted very satisfactorily to at least one Rockland horse owner, the free-for-all being won by F. H. Berry's Belle I’, in straight heats. There were five itarters and the popular chestnut appears to have had everything her own way, although compelled lo gu three very fast miles. The first heat was in 2.171-4, the second 2.19 and the third in 2.18 1-2. The fast mile by quarters was as follows; First quarter, .33 3 4; half, 1.06 1-a; three quar­ters, 1.42; mile, 2.17 1-4, The track record was lowered two seconds, and an average of three heats,lower by more than a second than the former track record for a single heat. There were 11 starters in the 2.30 class, l’eter Q,, owned by L. Q. Tyler of this city, getting fourth position. Peter Q. found himself in pretty fast company, two heats being trotted in 2.23 1-4 while the other two were 2 29 1-4 and 2.27 1-2.

The annual picnic of the Congregational Sunday achool ia deferred until next week, the date to be announced on Sunday. Probably on Wednesday.

People who attended the Shakespearean reading Wednesday evtning feel that they ran up against a gold brick transaction. It waa Hamlet with Hamlet entirely left out. “ It waa tbe hottest room and the coldest audience I ever aaw,” remarked one very bright lady.

The recent lawn parly and supper given by St. Bernard'a Catholic Society netted nearly 1 275, being one of the most successful church aflaits ever given in the city. Mra. George E. McLaughlin aold some 200 tickets and her interest in the succeas of the aflair was further shown by the fact that ahe walked (rom the Brook to A. J. Bird't itore for the purpose of disposing of a single ticket.

A few days ago when Fred I. I.amson found a lot of damaged thread on his hands and scotch-grabbed it for the benefit of the kids he tittle dreamed he waa laying the foundation for about as annoying a piece of mischief as Young America hat ever perpe­trated in our city. Just how the fun started no one teems to know positively but as near at we can find out some youngster tied one end of a spool of thread on the Sea street electric car and with the spool Itself re­volving on a pencil for a pivot watched the thing unwind. This suggested to youthful bicycle riders that they could do tome un­winding on their own accord and before anyone had caught onto the acheme Crockett's Point was » network of tiny threads. On dark nights pedestrians would encounter them and being unable to tee the cause of the disturbance bruahed the threads persistent­ly away from their faces, at the tame time anathematizing the spider which built the supposed cob web. But when the mysterious threads became to numerous that they knocked halt oil people's heads and there was nothing visible as a cause, the thing be­gan to have an encouraging aspect and the more timid people were rather dubioua about venturing onto 1 the Point. Aa may well lie imagined Crockett’s Point didn't remain the monopolizer of the thread trick long; the scheme spread among the jnvcnilea, and, we are sorry to state, some who had reached a more advanced age than juvenility took It up. From all over the city came reports of people running amuck at the unknown maze. Some had hats knocked oil, others got their feet tangled up, bicyclists found their sprocket whecla clogged so as to impede progress, while it is recorded as an actual occurrence that one team was stopped on ac­count of so much thread getting mixed up with the running gear. The thread has rather played out now but Iota of people have broken one ol the commandments in the interim. We might tell of numcrout amus­ing incidents that occurred in connection with the aflair, but many of our reafleramay have had some of their own, 10 we refrain.

Camden and Rockland will cross bats on the Broadway baseball ground at 2.30 this after­noon and we feel safe in predicting a hair- raising contest. Camden defeated Rockland in Camden last Saturday afternoon and our boys, smarting under the first and only defeat are determined to teach the visitors a lesson. Perry, who did such excellent work in the box for Camden at the last game, will pitch again this afternoon and baseball lovers will have an opportunity of contrasting his work with that of II.

'I be steamer played a distance of 194 feet 3 inches, not far enough to capture any prize, but farther than she ever played before at a muster. Her trial record last week was 197 feet, which in­dicated very little, as tbe Portland steamer which took first prize at 249 feet, recently pla>ed over 300 feet on trial while I<oog Reach of Bath, which has a record of 275 feet could not reach 220 feet this year. Rockland gets the satisfaction of tbe Ken­nebec’s (tbe old N. A. Burpee) winning first money, as usual, and the Tigers of Warren second in the hand engine contest. Tbe pa­rade was a big one, and among tbe many companies present none received such an ovation on the march as our liook & Lad­der boys. They looked tine, marched well, and caught the crowd on every corner. The Ellsworth running teams won the hose races.

asks is that the games be made self sustain ing and be will see that patrons get their money’s worth. Ladies will be admitted free this afternoon. Grandstand 10 cents. Since tbe above was written it has rained pitchforks and boe-bandles and tbe game is necessarily postponed.

Tbe establishment of coaling stations for the navy on the coast of Maine will come directly under tbe supervision of Commander Royal B. Bradford, U. S. N., who is chief of tbe bureau of equipment at the navy department. Com­mander Bradford is a native of Turner, Me., and therefore takes an extra interest in seeing that the stations are properly located. It is bis belief that there will be not only a coaling station at Portland, but also at Eastport and Rockland. Tbe question about tbe last named cities has been chiefly concerning the land transportation facilities. In time of war, when it would not be safe for the transportation of coal by water, tbe government would have to send the coal by railroads and it therefore wants to be assured that the railroad transpor- portation facilities are ample but that tbe road can not be cut by tbe enemy. Some question was raised about the ability of an enemy to cut olt communication by destroying tbe ferry at Bath. Commander Bradford awaits tbe report of the commission recently sent to Maine, after which the matter as far as the navy department is directly concerned will be settled. ^

The 18th annual reunion of tbe 6th Maine Veteran Association will he held in this city Aug. 22 23 »nd 24, tbe reunion proper oc­curring on tbe first day. In the forenoon there will he a trolled ride to Kocklaud Highlands and Thomaston affording the visit­ors a splendid chance to see our famous limerock quarries and the state prison. Tbe business meeting will occur at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and in the evening there will be a reception and eutertainment in Farwell opera house to which the public will be invited. The following eutertainment committee has been selcctca here: From Edwin Libby Post, E. A. Butler, J. E. Rhodes, A. J. Crockett, Charles 1). Jones and Thomas Saunders; from the Union Veterans Unioo, William 1L Simmons, Benjamin Williams. Gen. J. P. Cillcy, M. M. Parker and W. H. Smith. The Relief Corps folks have also promised to lend their valuable assistance, while it is taken for granted that the public at large will help give the visitor! a warm reception. l i . S. llobbr, tbe only member of tbe association in this city, is bead pusher of the reunion and work­ing like a beaver to make a success of it.

Two persons were baptized by immersion at Springs island, Biddelord, Sunday, by Rev. C. VV. Bradlee, of tbe Methodist church.

"The Marks of a Backslider,” will be Rev. F. E. White’s subject at the Methodist church Sunday. Rev. W. W. ( igier will preach there in the evening.

At the Congregational church Sunday morn­ing the pastor, Rev. C. A. Moore, will preach, subject, "Commendable Ignorance.” There will be no evening service.

At St. Peter's Episcopal Church Sunday services will be held as follows: 10.30, morn­ing prayer, holy communion and sermon; 7.30, evensong and sermon. Subject of morning discourse “The Motive of Conduct.” Rev. G. Monroe Royce of New York will officiate.

At the First Baptist church Sunday morn­ing Rev. R. W. Van Kirk will preach as usual. Communion will be observed at noon, the new individual communion service being used for the lirst time. The evening service at 7.30 will be a special musical event— “Evening Worship: a Service of Song,” the choral association rendering the fine pro­gram printed in another column. The pas­tor will give a short sermon on “Songs In the Night.”

Rev. F. M. Preble, pastor of the Court street Baptist church, Auburn, will spend the month of August in Ludlow, Vt., with the exception of a visit to Northlield, Mass., to at­tend the conference of Christian Workers, llis Auburn pastorate opens most pleasantly. The people have given him a most cordial welcome, the audiences have been large for the summer, and the prayer meetings have been seasons of very deep interest and profit. Tbe Sunday school and Christian Flndeavor Society are growing in numbers and interest, and a general feeling of hopefulness and lov­ing cooperation on the part of pastor and peo­ple prevails. We are happy to add that pas­tor Preble's health is well-nigh restored, and his people are looking forward with fond an­ticipation to the exceedingly interesting and helpful sermons, and to the kindly and sym­pathetic ministration! in store for them through this new relationship for years to come.— Zion’s Advocate.

CHAPTER XIX.A n i.A lie or G11 ASS,

Once, anil only once since our mar­riage, had I made any mention of the death of Dudley Ogle. We were driv­ing Into the nnciont town of Chatoau- roux, In tho Indre, on the lumbering, dusty old diligence that has performed the same daily journey for perhaps a century when I chanced to incidentally utter his name and express wonder when the mystery would be solved.

"No, Geoffrey. Do not recall that terrible tragedy. Promise never again to mention his name; It only brings sadness to both of us, while the mys­tery surrounding the crime Is irritating and puzzling. You have already told us that he was not your friend al­though he posed as such, therefore for­get him. I have not forgotten; nor shall I ever cease to think and to strive toward the solution of the problem."

"But cannot I help you to search and Investigate?” 1 suggested. "W h y should you strive to elucidate this mys­tery alone, now that you aro my wife?"

"Because it Is my ambition,” she answered, regarding me earnestly with clear, trusting eyes. "You will, I know, allow me to retain one object In life apart from you."

One bright December afternoon I re­turned at three o’clock, and found she had been absont since eleven that morning. I took a cab to Pont street, -but, ascertaining Bhe hail not been there, returned home, and impatiently awaited her until nearly six. As soon as I heard her light footsteps I seized a book that lay nearest and pretended to read. She burst In like a ray of sunshine, her face aglow with laughter, and in her hand an immense bunch of sweet-smelling violets.

The book chanced to be a Koran In Arabic. She came across to kiss me, but I waved her off with dignity and went on translating the "Word of the Prophet.”

After a pause I commenced; "You went out this morning ten minutes aft-

I had gone; it is now six o'clock. You have been absent seven hours.”

Ella nodded.“And how have you employed your

time?” I asked. “Have you been shop­ping, as usugj?”

Ella again nodded."You see,” she whispered, with her

arms around my neck, “this is how It was. Last night I said to myself: 'This poor, dear Geoffrey—he is so busy with his country’s affairs, and works so hard—he will be away all day, therefore I will go over to call upon my aunt in Camberwell anil take her a bot­tle of wine and some tea, for she is a great invalid and in poverty. Since my marriage I haven’t seen her, and as she Is in great straits I know dear Geoffrey will not object.’ ”

But later that evening, on going to her room alone to fetch something to her, I noticed that her high-heel French boots, thrown aside, as she had cast them off, were unusually muddy, although, strangely enough, It had been a dry day. I took them up, and upon examining the soles found them caked with damp clay, In which were embedded some blades of gTass.

1 slowly descended the stairs, en­grossed by my own thoughts. Grass does not grow in the streets of Cam­berwell.

C H A P T E R X X .

UNDEIlCUHKKNTS OF DIPLOMACY.

A few nights later we went together to a ball at the Russian Embassy. Per­haps of all the functions in London a ball at Chesham House is one of the moBt brilliant and imposing, for it is always on a scale in keeping with the dignity of the representatives of the Czar.

Toward the end of the evening my wife clutched my arm and in a half- frightened whisper exclaimed:

"Look, Geoffrey. Look at that serv­ant in uniform over there. Why, It’s our man, Helmholtz!"

1 glanced in the direction she had in­dicated and sure enough there was the detective Renouff, who, in the Laing household posed as Carl Helmholtz, in the handsome blue and gold livery of the Embassy, handing an ice to a lady. Instantly 1 grasped the situation.

"It is a striking resemblance, dear­est,” 1 said; "nothing more.”

"But I’m certain It’s Helmholtz,” she declared, excitedly. "Take me closer to him."

"When we were at Pine street this afternoon Helmholtz was there, wasn’the?”

"Yes. He brought tea Into the draw­ing room."

"Well, no doubt be Is at home now. This fellow may he his brother, orsomething."

For a moment we stood watching, and saw him make a servile how. For­tunately he turned his hack upon us, hastening to execute some command, otherwise he must have come toward us, and met us fate lo face.

"I’m certain it's Helmholtz,” Ella exclaimed in a tone of conviction.

Without doubt U Is a very striking resemblance,” 1 admitted, "but the servants of an Embassy are not re­cruited from the ns it est registry office. Besides, they wot) 'd r ever employ a German here."

and claimed her for the next dance, while I wandered on alone amid the crowd, my mind full of strange thoughts.

Presently, while watching the dand­ers, I chanced to glaace aside and rec­ognized a sparse, well known figure approaching. I t was the Earl of Warn- ham. ^Attired In plain evening dress of a rather antiquated cut, ho wore no decorations, save the broad blue ribbon across his narrow strip of shirt front, the highest honor his sovereign hail bestowed him. I wns surprised to find him there, for I had believed him to ho at Osborne in attendance on Her Majesty.

"Ah, Deedes,” he exclaimed in a low voice, with a slight smile upon his col­orless wizened face. “In the enemy’s camp—eh?”

"Yes, my wife wished to come,” I ex­plained.

"Of course. Women like this sort of thing. I have never met her. You must Introduce her presently.”

"She will esteem It an honor,” I said, adding. "She is over there in a cream dress, dancing with Verblloudovltch."

He glanced In the direction, and started perceptibly. For some moments his keen eyes followed her. Then I noticed that his gray brows contracted, and his usually expressionless face wore a strange, ominous look such as I had never before detected upon It.

"Is that your wife?” he asked, husk­ily, turning and eyeing me curiously.

“Yes.""Was it she who alleged that your

friend Ogle was the victim of foul play?” he Inquired, with emphaslB, In a voice that betrayed dismay.

"It was," I replied.The Foreign Minister sighed. As he

quiet thoroughfares In the neighbor­hood of Campden Hill until, having walked for over an hour undecldq£ how to act, I awoke to a consciousness that I was before my own house.

"Has my wife returned Juckes?” I asked my faithful man, who stood ready to relieve me of hat and coat.

“Yes, sir. She returned an hour ago, and is now In the drawing-room.”

”Ah, Geoffrey!” she exclaimed, jump­ing to her feet with an expression of Joy and coming forward to meet me. “I expected you home long ago, dearest.” And she raised her face for the habit­ual kiss.

"Oh,” I said coldly, placing her away from me without caressing her. “Have you been home long?”

“A long, long time," she answered, regarding my coldness with unfeigned surprise.

"Were you alone the whole time?” I Inquired, regarding her intently.

Her Ups quivered slightly, and her glance wavered.

"Yes,” she answered, “I did not meet any one I knew.”

“That is a lie, Ella,” I cried.“It Is not,” she stammered, pale and

agitated. “I have told you the truth.”’’To prevaricate Is utterly useless.” I

said angrily. "I followed you through Kensington Gardens, where you were walking with your lover. I”—

CHAPTER XXI.IS KENSINGTOX GAIIDEXS.

Times out of number I tried to ac­count for the Earl’s agitation when he had encountered her. It was evident they were not strangers, although when I had introduced them he treated her with studied courtesy.

One day early In January I had re­ceived a message from Lord Warnham to call at his house in Berkeley square, but when l^rrived I found a note stat­ing that he had been compelled unex­pectedly to go down to Lord Mayhury's seat in Hertfordshire to consult him. Therefore I left.

Having passed Queen’s Gnte I was approaching Broad Walk when 1 was attracted by two figures strolling slow­ly together In front of me—a man and a woman.

The woman walking before me was Ella.

Her companion, a tall, broad shoul­dered young man, wore a long drab overcoat of distinctly "horsy” cut, a silk hat of the latest shape, and dis­played a good deal of shirt cuff. Ho was evidently a fop, and his whole ex­terior, from his varnished boots to the velvet cuffs of his overcoat, pronounc­ed him to be a cad. Leisurely he strode by her side, Bmoking a cigarette and earnest in conversation, now and then emphasizing his words by striking the palm of one gloved hand with his fist.

Once, while he spoke, she stopped short and stretched out both hands toward him in an attitude of supplica­tion. But he did not heed her, for, giving vent to a low laugh, lie contin­ued! emphasizing bis words as before. Then, clinching her hands, she stamped her foot in anger, and, tossing her head in contempt, walked forward again, heedless of her companion’s threatening attitude.

From that moment both grew calm­er, for the man, uttering words of for­giveness, snatched up her hand anil Imprinted a kiss upon it. For a brief second she allowed her hand to linger in his grasp, then withdrew it gently, hut firmly, regarding him with ear­nestness tho while. This action arous­ed my anger to a fierce murderous ha­tred. With difficulty I munaged to pre­serve an outward calm, because, in my state of mind, I felt compelled to watch and wait. Yet, if 1 had had a weapon ready to my hand at that mo­ment I verily believe that 1 must have thrown myself upon this arrogant cad and mercilessly killed him.

1 managed, however, to hold myself back, watching them exchange a tender farewell at the gate that led into Ken­sington High street next the Palace Hotel, und while the man raised his hat politely and, turning, walked away in the direction of Knightsbridge, Ella, her face radiant and happy, bowed and set out homeward in the opposite di­rection.

Beueath the lamp in the gateway 1 had. in those brief seconds, obtained a glimpse of his face. It was that of a young man of about "two-und-twenty, with strongly marked features, fair- buired, and of quite a different type than 1 had conjectured. The features were rather refiiieif, by no means those of a cad, but rather those of awell-bred young idler, who affected the dress and manners of that class of youths who frequent the Cafe Monico on Sunday evenings, the slaves of the counter.

CHAPTER XXII.XU EUK IS HUMAN.

Once he glanced back to Ella, but she did not turn; then lie went on and was lost in the darkness, while I fol­lowed my wife's neat figure through the hustling throng of foot-passengers.

Instead of keeping behind her straight home, I turned from the wain ruud, and, with my mind full of gloomy thoughts, wandered about the dark,

“My Goill” I cried aloud. “ I had never suspected this."

“My lover," she cried hoarsely, in dismay. “He—he is not my lover. I had never seen him before.”

"You told me that once before,” I said gravely, "and 1 trusted you. To­day I have discovered my confidence ill-placed."

“Trust me once again,” she cried hoarsely. “Only once, and 1 will show you ere long that your suspicions are utterly without foundation."

I took another turn up and down the drawing-room, my hands clasped be­hind my hack, my gaze fixed upon the carpet. I was still undecided.

With a sudden impulse she rushed forward, and flinging her arms about my neck kissed me, next second burst­ing into tears, and burying her face up­on my shoulder. My hand unconscious­ly stroked her hair, and, bending, I pressed my lips upon her soft cheek.

Then she knew that 1 bad forgiven, and holding back her sobs with difficul­ty raised her face, and kissing me pas­sionately thanked me in a low broken voice, assuring me that 1 should never regret the step I had taken.

After we had euten, I smoked u cig­arette and lingered as long as possible, happy with my well-beloved, then kiss­ing her fondly I was compelled to take a hansom to Berkeley Square, promis­ing her to return ut the earliest possi­ble moment, and expressing confidence that our love would last always.

Not until eleven o’clock was I able to get away from Berkeley Square, and leaving the aged statesman alone, deep­ly immersed in the puzzling applica­tions for advice of all sorts from Her Majesty’s representatives at the vari­ous Courts of Europe, I drove back* to Phlllimore Gardens.

On arrival home my first question of Juckes was whether Ella was in the drawing-room.

"No, sir. Madam is out, sir.”"Out! When did she go out?”“About an hour after you had left,

sir," replied the man. "She has gone into the country, I believe."

"Into the country? What makes you think so?”

“Because she put on her travelling dress, and took two trunks with her,” he answered. "Roberts, her maid, says she packed the boxes herself three duys ugo."

“Did she say where she was going?"1 inquired, breathlessly.

"No, sir. She left no message with any one."

Entering the drawing-room with my overcoat still ou, 1 noticed, lying upon her little rosewood escritoire, a note addressed to me.

Eagerly 4 took it up, tore it open, and read Rb contents. There were only a few hurriedly scrawled words—a brief and formal farewell.

“You cannot trust me,” shb wrote, “therefore, we are best apart. Do not attempt to follow me, for you cannot find me. Do not think ill of me, for even if I have wronged and deceived you, 1 have, nevertheless, been your friend.”

It commenced formally, without any endearing term, and concluded abrupt­ly with the two words, ’’Your wife.”

For a few moments I stood with it in my hand, staring at It in blank amazement. Then it occurred to me that in that very escritoire she kept all her correspondence, and it was more than probable that I might learn the truth from some of the letters therein contained.

1 endeavored lo “pen it, hut it was, as usual, locked. She had taken the key. In my sudden excitement I called

lo Juckes to bring a hammer, and with a few sharp blows broke open the slop­ing leather-covered top, finding a num­ber of letters addressed In unfamiliar handwriting.

One, larger than the rest, crumpled, dirty and worn, aa if It had reposed in some one's pocket for a long period,I took'out and eagerly opened beneath the soft-shaded lamp.

"My God!” I cried aloud, scarcely able to believe my own eyes, when next Instant I realized the terriblo truth. "My God! I had never suspected this!”

CHAPTER XXIII.A TEHimiLE TItUTH.

EIla'B cold, formal adieu stunned me.I stood open-mouthed, petrified. We had parted on the best of terms, site kissing me affectionately, and with wifely solicitude bidding me hasten back; yet In my absence she had de­parted, evidently carrying out some prearranged plan. Her maid, Roberts, had noticed her packing her trunks three days before; therefore, it was certain that she meant to desert me as soon as opportunity offered.

Unaccountable and astounding as was her sudden flight, the discovery I had made among the papers in her es­critoire werq even more amazing. It held me stuplfied and aghast.

The paper I held in my hand was the original of the secret convention be­tween England and Germany; the doc­ument that had been stolen from me, transmitted by telegraph to the Rus­sian Foreign Office and had nearly caused a terrible and disasorsut caused a terrible and disastrous Euro­pean war.

“When did my wife pack those two trunks she took with her this even­ing?” I asked Roberts, her maid.

"Last Monday, sir,” the girl answer­ed, slowly twisting her befrllled apron In her hands. "She received a note by boy messenger and immediately set about packing the boxes. Once I glanc­ed at a note lying on madam’s dressing table. It merely announced the writ­er’s intention to attend Lady Pearson’s 'at home,’ and was signed ’X.’ ”

“Has my wife taken her Jewels?” I Inquired.

"No. She has left her jewel case un­locked, but everything is there. She has even left behind her wedding ring.”

"Her wedding ring!!’ I echoed, as­tounded and dismayed. "Then she has discarded me completely.”

“Unfortunately, it appears so, sir,” the girl observed, gravely.

"Very well, Roberts,” I said in a broken voice. "Thank you. You may go.”

After a time I roused myself, and, taking from the broken escritoire the other letters it contained, five in num­ber, examined them eagerly beneath the light.

All were in the same hand, a heavy masculine one, written evidently with a quill. One by one I read them, find­ing that they contained appointments which fully bore out her maid’s suspi­cions.

“My dear Ella," one ran. "To-mor­row I shall be on the departure plat­form at King’s Cross station at 11:10.I have good news for you. Come.--X.”

“I crammed on my hat and hastily drove to Pont street.

The house was in darkness, save for a light In the basement, and in answer to my summons, after n lapse of some minutes, a tall, gaunt woman In rusty black uppeared in the urea below.

I was surprised at being thus met by a stranger, but inquired for Mrs. Laing.

“Mrs. Laing ain’t at ’ome, sir,” an­swered the woman, looking up and speaking with a strong Cockney twang.

"Not at home?” I exclaimed, sur­prised. “Where is Bhe?”

“She’s gone abroad somewheres, but I don’t know where,” the woman an­swered. “She’s sold all her valuables, discharged the servants, and, left me 'ere as ’ousekeeper.”

CHAPTER XXIV.STU ICTl.V C O N FID E N T IA L .

The early morning was dry, frosty, but sturless. The clock of that fash­ionable temple of Hymen, St. George’s, llunover Square, was slowly chiming 3 us I alighted from a cab ut the corner of Mount street, and, walking along Berkeley Square, ascended the Bteps of the Earl of Warnham’s great mansion. Walking across the great square hull warmed by a huge roaring fire, I passed down the passage to the Earl’s study and rapped at the door, receiving an impatient permission to enter.

“ I should not have ventured to come at this hour, I said, "were it not that the news 1 bring is of extreme import­ance."

"What is It’s nature?” he asked cold­ly, leaning back in his chair.

“I have recovered the original of cur secret convention with Germany," 1 answered, in us quiet a tone as I could assume.

"You have!” he cried excitedly, start­ing up. "You are quite right to seek me at once—quite right.”

A few seconds sufficed to reassure him that the document was the genuine one.

"It is fortunate that this has re­turned into our possession,” be observ­ed, his thin blue lips quivering slightly. "1 feared that it bud already passed beyond our reacH, and that one day or other in the near future our policy must be narrowed by the knowledge that it was preserved in the archives of the Foreign Office at Petersburg, and could be used as a pretence for a

■ declaration of war by Russia and France. Now, however, that the orig- iual is again in our possession, we cun disclaim all copies, and give assurance that uo seoret understanding exists be­tween us and Berlin.

"I found It In my own house,” T an­swered.

"Then you mean to tell me that it has been In your possession the whole time. The thins; Is impossible," he cried, angrily. "Remember the dummy palmed off upon me, and the fact that an exact copy was transmitted to Pe­tersburg."

“No. It has not been In my posses­sion,” I answered, leaning against my writing chair for support. “I—I found it among my wife’s possessions.”

“Your wife!” he gasped, agitated. He had turned ghastly pale at the mention of her name, and trembling with agita­tion swayed forward.

A moment later, however, he recov­ered his self-possession, clutched at the corner of his table, and regarding me sharply, asked; “What do you sus­pect?"

“I scarce know what to suspect,” I answered gravely, striving to remain calm, but remembering at that instant the curious effect produced upon the Foreign Minister when he had first seen Ella dancing at the Embassy Ball. My declaration that I had found this official bond of nations in her posses­sion had produced a similar disquiet­ing result, which puzzled me.

“But surely she can have had no hand in the nffnir,” he cried. “She certainly did not strike me as an ad­venturess, or an agent of the Czar's secret service."

“It is a problem thnt I cannot solve,” I exclaimed, slowljr watching the strange haggard look upon his usually imperturbable features. “After leav­ing you this evening I went home only to find a letter of farewell from her, and”—

"She has fled, then!" he exclaimed with quick suspicion.

“Yes. Her (light was evidently pre­arranged, and curiously enough her mother, who lives in Pont street, has discharged her servants, disposed of a good deal of her property, und also departed.”

“(lone together, no doubt,” the Earl observed, frowning reflectively.

“But is it not very strange that she should have left the stolen convention behind? Surely if my wife were actu­ally a Russian agent she would never have been guilty of such indiscretion,” I said.

“The mystery is inexplicable, Deedes,’! he declared, with a heavy look, half of pain, half of bewilder­ment. "Absolutely Inexplicable."

“You have, I believe, after all, been cruelly wronged, Deedes,” he added in a low, harsh tone. "I sympathize with you because I myself once felt the loss of a wife deeply, and I know what feel­ings must be yours now that you sus­pect the woman you have trusted and loved to have been guilty of base treachery and espionage. She, or some one in association with her, has be­smirched England’s honor, and brought us to the very verge of a terrible na­tional disaster. Providentially, this was averted; by what means we have not yet ascertained, although our dip­lomatic agents at the Court of tho Czar are striving duy and night to ascertain; yet the fact remains that we were vic­timized by some daring secret ugent, who sacrificed everything in order to accomplish the master stroke of espi­onage. I can but re-echo the thanks to Heaven uttered by my gracious sov­ereign when she received news that war had been averted, nevertheless it iB my duty—nay it is yours, Deedes, to strive on without resting, in order that this mystery may be satisfactorily un­ravelled."

For a moment we were silent. Then In a voice that I felt painfully con­scious was broken by grief and emo­tion, I related to him the whole of the wretched story of my marriage, my suspicions, the discovery of Ella in Kensington Cardens, how I had taxed her with iilrtation and frivolity, our peacemaking, and hur sudden und un­expected flight.

He heard me through to the end with bent head, sighing now and then sympathetically. Then he slowly asked:

"Did you ever refer to those earlier incidents, such as the death of that young man Ogle? Remeprber, whatev­er you tell me I shall regard as strictly confidential."

“I seldom mentioned it, as she de­sired me not to do so.”

"When you referred to it, what was her attitude?” he inquired. In a pained toue, the furrows ou his high white brow deep and clearly defined.

“She declared always that he had been murdered, and vowed to detect the author of the crime.”

"Are you, in your own mind, con­vinced that there was anything really mysterious regarding her actions; or were they only every-day facts distort­ed by jealousy?” he asked gravely.

"There is, I believe, some deep mys­tery regarding her past," I answered.

He knit his gray shaggy brows, and started perceptibly.

“Her past!" he echoed. “Were you aware of any—er—unpleasant fact pri­or to marriage?" he inquired, quick­ly.

“Yes. She promised to explain ev­erything ei% long; therefore, loving her devotedly as I did, 1 resolved to make her my wife and await in patience her explanation."

“Love!” he cried, cynically. “She did not love you. She only married you, it seems, to accomplish her own base and mysterious ends." Then, pacing the room from end to end, be added: “The more I reflect, the more apparent does it become that Ella Daiuge, by becoming your wife, to ac­complish some great coup, but, pre­vented by some uutorseen circumstan­ces, she has been compelled to fly, and in her baste overlooked this Incrimina­ting paper."

C H A P T E R X X V .

THE MAX or THE HOUR."This, too, was my own opinion, and

taking from my pocket the whole of the letters that were In the escritoire, I placed them before him,

“They are from your wife's mysteri­ous lover,” he observed, when a few moments later he had digested them. "Who he is there is no evidence to show. You suspect him, of course, to be the man she met in Kensington Gardens?”

I nodded. A sigh escaped me."Well,” he went on, “leave them

with me.* A caligraphlc expert may possibly find some clew to the Identity of the writer.”

“Well,” he said, reflectively, at last. "There is but one person from whom we may ascertain the truth.”

"Who?"“Your wife."“But she has disappeared.”"We must trace her. She must not

escape us," he cried fiercely, with set teeth. "She has wronged you and act­ed in collusion with a man who lias betrayed his country and met with a tragic end, even if she herself did not actually sell the copy of the secret con­vention to onr enemies—which appears to mo more than likely."

Quickly I took Ids key, and, unlocking the tiny drawer, opened it.

“What causes you to believe this?” I inquired, surprised at his sudden as­sertion.

“I have a reason,” he answered quickly, with an nir of mystery. The cold manner of the expert diplomatist had again settled upon him. "If it is, as I expect, I will show her no mercy, for it is upon me, as Foreign Minister of Her Majesty, that opprobium has fallen.”

“But she is still my wife," 1 observed, fo r even at that moment, when I had discovered her false and base, I had not ceased to regard her with a p a s B io u n te affection.

“Wife!" he snarled angrily. “You would have been u thousand times bet­ter dead than married to such as she." Then he added: “Remain here. 1 am going to the telephone to apprise Scot­land Yard of her flight. She only left to-night after the malls were gone, therefore if we have the ports watched we may yet And her."

And he left me, his quick footsteps echoing down the long corridor.

The moment he had gone I went to his table. Some sudden curiosity prompted me to endeavor to ascertain what he had been gazing upon so in­tently while my back had been turned In penning the instructions to Sir Phil­ip Emden.

Quickly I took Ills keys and unlock­ing the tiny drawer, opened it.

Inside there reposed a highly finish­ed Cabinet portrait of my wife.

Amazed to find this picture in the possession of my chief, I took it in my hands und stood ugape. Its pose was unfamiliar, but the reason I had never before seen a copy of it was instantly made plain. It bore the name of a well known St. Petersburg photographer.

Ella had lied to me when she had de­nied ever having been in Russia.

Months of anxiety went wearily by, but no tiding of her could i gleam. Time could never effa> • the bitter memories of the past. 'ice had,at Lord Warnham’s i exert­ed every effort to trai .t with­out avail. She had do. .red with a rapidity that was astounding, for, apparently expecting that some attempt might be made to follow her, she had ingeniously taken every precaution to baffle her pursuers in the same manner as her mother hud dune. The cause of her sudden flight was an enigma only equalled by my discovery of her portrait in the Earl's possession.

On the day after Ella had fled I call­ed at Andrew Beck's office, at Win­chester House, Old Broad street, but found he hud sailed a few days before by the Union liner Scot, for Cape Town. The movements of the popular member for West Rutlandshire were cabled and chronicled in the newspa­pers as diligently as if be were a Prince of a reigning house, and it was with extreme satisfaction that one morning in June I saw it announced that the mail had arrived at Southampton from the Cape bearing him ou board. 1 re­turned lo London, and that same uight sought Beck at the House of Com­mons.

"How is Ella?" he said, after a while. "I quite forgot to ask after your wife."

“I don't know,” I replied, after a brief pause.

“Don't know?" he echoed, looking at me, puzzled. "Why, what's the mat­ter?"

“She has left me," I answered grave­ly-

"Left you!" be tried, removing his cigar and staring at me. "Have you quarrelled?"

GOOD COOKERY,(Copyright). Oorchester. M .„

My Dear Home Friend*—In a short time all the world will he back from their vacation, children will be In school, and the reghlar work of the early fall will begin. In almost e^ ry department there will b<; some change, even if Hllght; linens must be replenished, carpets must be cleansed, draperies need to be laun­dered. some of the chairs must be re­upholstered, and all of this mostly for the sake of appearances, but there Is one thing which can be exchanged that will save the housewife hours of per­plexity, many disappointments, and will result in good to every member of the household, ln>th as to comfort and health.

What do I mean? Why, the exchange of the old-fashioned kitchen stove or range to one*of the modern ones which has a thermometer on the oven door.

Now I know that some one with settled Ideas will question the expediency of this move, but take my word for it, that the day of guesswork is past, and this new Invention will save much annoy­ance, countless loaves of burned cake and bread, scores of dried sirloins of beef Instead of roasts, and a lot of ill temper.

Years ago the best cooks “guessed” when they mixed materials for foods, and the one who had the best Judgment •and could “guess” nearest alike at dif­ferent times was the best cook. Ask her what her proportions were, and she would say, “Oh, a little milk, a pinch of salt, an egg or two If they are small, a handful of sugar," and so on. In these days of Improvement no one* thinks of cooking “by guess.”

Standard cup and spoon measures are adopted, and there Is no longer any such thing us “luck” In cooking; every time things are right as to the mixing of In­gredients.

After mixing the neccBsnry materials, carefully measured In the most approved way, there is a great gulf of uncertainty to be passed if you bake "by guess.” How many young housewlvesjmve wept bitter tears because the oven was not right, und the cake fell, or the bread was heavy? How many experienced cooks have slammed the oven door because the roast came out a cinder or nearly in Its raw state? History Is silent on the subject, but every woman knows some­thing about it, for she has hod experi­ence.

Years ago a physician would -have been i Idiculed who would have thrust a thermometer Into u patient’s mouth to determine his temperature; today a physician who did not use one of these little informers would be relegated to the realms of old fogylsm.

Just so with the modern cook: she wants, and will have, a range with an oven thermometer; then there Is no testing of the oven with a moistened finger, or counting 40 while you nearly blister your hand In the oven, heating yourself unnecessarily, and not even being sure if the heat is right for a specific purpose then.

With the improved range and the oven thermometer there is. as Cardinal Richelieu said, “No such word as full.” It Is certainty. When the thermometer hand points to “sponge cake.” put ir your sponge cuke to bake. And right here Is a point—you don’t have to open the oven door until the cake is baked, because should the heat change, a glance at the thermometer hand will show you what to do. If It is growing too hot, you partially close the front draft slide; if the oven is cooling off. open the draft. Summing the whole matter up, the secret of a “perfect bake” with an oven thermometer Ls that you are able to keep the oven at an even temperature without having to open the door and thus expose the food to a sud­den change, which is always fatal to the best results.

If It is important to have the right heat for sponge cake, It Is Just as necessary to have the oven right for bread, bis­cuit. roust meat and pies, and every one of these is sure to be registered on the best oven thermometers.

As a man would not undertake to work without the best of tools, neither could we expect his wife to serve a well cooked meal without the best means to provide it.

Now rny advice is this: (let along without draperies, carpets, bric-a-brac, even a fall suit, but do have a range with an oven thermometer.

By a Naturally Organized Food.

In the fall of 18U5 1 broke down as the result of too close application to'busl- ness. My condition wan such that 1 was unable to wulk except for a few feet at a time. By thepdvlce of friends I began eating Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit and entirely discarded the use of medicine. Within a week from the time I began to eat Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit, my health showed a marked improvement, ahd there was a continuous gain until a perfect resto­ration had taken place. Since I began to eat Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit I have paid only two dollars for medi­cal attendance, and it is thirty months since I consulted a physician. For more than a yeur I have been able to be in my office every day. and it is the first year in twenty-five thut I have had tuG health to do this. Previous to my daily diet of Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit there had not. been a year in the past quarter century during which I was not laid up from four to eight weeks with inllarnmatory rheumatism, but since the late fail of 18% 1 have been entirely free from this disease, and I am satisfied that any case of rheuma­tism can be cured by eating Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit.

A very pleasant family gathering was the Martin reunion at the home of Capt. I. A. Fountain, Gleason street, Thursday. Fifty- two representatives of that family gathered. That the time passed with pleasure and en­joyment to all needs not to be stated, for the Martins are known to be good entertainers. The grounds were set out with flags with the trees which surround the place for a back­ground of living green. Four large tables ,were spread out of doors around which the guests spent an hour at noon and night dis­cuss.^ the generous menuprovided. Musical and literary exercises added to the occasion.

The Courier-Gazette’s voting contest aroused great interest here, so much so that some of the friends cf Miss Lizzie Ilarriman, second in the contest, unwilling that their candidate should go unrewarded, have quietly made up a purse and presented that popular young lady with a handsome bicycle. It is needless to add that Miss Ilarriman was as delighted as she was surprised by the thoughtfulness and generosity of her friends.

Our people are anxiously awaiting the ap­pearance of America’9 most famous pianist, Edward Baxter Petty, who has been engaged for the Episcopal society entertainment next Tuesday evening in the Opera House. The St. Paul, Minu., Globe says: A most cul­tured and distinguished audience, and one large enough to fill the Grand Opera House, did honor yesterday to Edward B. Perry, as famous a pianist as America has so far pro­duced. He introduced a novel idea, and a splendid one, when prior to playing each number, he explained or interpreted in words the work in question. It added largely to the intelligent appreciation of the people. Mr. Perry is a charming player, poetic in the extreme in passages of tender emotion, and in movements of fancy, light and airy. His brilliancy of execution, highly developed technique and accuracy astonished and de­lighted the audience, who sat entranced dur­ing the exhibition of bis skill at the piano.

Edward Baxter Perry will bring with him to Camden Opera House on Tuesday, Aug. 9, his favorite grand piano, called The Lorelei, and specially manufactured for his concert use by the Henry F. Miller Piano Co. of Boston. The Lorelei, or Ltreley, is the siren of early German legends, and is supposed to sit perched upon a black and precipitous rock commanding a set ol rapids in the river Rhine, and to sing at nightfall her bewitching strains, like the Circe of Greek tradition, to be­guile belated mariners to approach the Lorelei Rock and perish in the rapids at her feet.

The hrst to attract the visit­ors’ attention was the Stars and Stripes wav­ing in the trees; then our eyes beheld the ta­bles on the lawn, laden with everything a hungry man could wish, even to St. George clams. The program for the afternoon con­sisted of music and reading, as follows: Vocal solo, Miss French; instrumental duet, Misses Ava and Ella Dow; violin solo, Lizette S. Green; cornet solo, Lura Sweetland; reading, Miss Emma Fountain; vocal solo, Miss Grace Ricker; instrumental solo, Miss Ella Dow; closing with the “Star-Spangled Banner", by all.

George Green was elected president for en suing year; Vice presidents'—F'red J. Dow, So. Thomaston, D.S.Martin, Camden, John Lovett, Lincolnville, Dr. T. II. Stevens, St. George ;

Recording Sec., Cretia Coombs; Correspond­ing Sec., Ella Dow; Treasurer, Mrs. Fred Dow; Committee on Entertainment, Emmie Fountain, Ava Dow, Lizette Green.

The Martins huddled together on a green spot while Mr. Cole took a snap shot; then with a blessing from Rev. W. W. Ogier they flew to their homes, thinking, after the long winter passes, that they will take to their wings and meet again in 1899.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.A Cleveland muu has set about learn­

ing tbo use of the typewriter. Up to tho present time he has had somebody to do his typewriting for him, but uow ha wants to kuow how to run it all by himself. He admits that he isn't an apt scholar. It comes slowly. Tho letters are hard to find, and tho spacing is so easily forgotten, Hut there is one thing that amuses him. Ho is learning to •pell, and learning in the same way he did when u towlieuded boy in tho early sixties. Of course ho could spell when ho taekled tho typewriter, but not in the same way. Now he distinctly enumerates each letter aud does it, too, with tho greatest care. It is a funny thing, but he linds him self spelling out tho words in tho newspaper, uud his wife says he spells them itk his sleep.

The other day the minister met him and asked him how he was.

“ V-e r-y.w-e-l-1, h o gruvely spelled oat, and when the pastor looked amazed hotfealized what-ho had done aud husti- lyJexplained the cause o f } the peoulior ity, and the minister professed to bo greatly interested uud wanted to know ull about it, and tho speller is uow greatly worried for fear the parson w ill write u special paper on it for some magazine.

When tho minister finally left him, he shook hands and said “ Goodby. ’’

“ G-o-o-d, ” began the speller, and he then recollected himself und hastily added “ by.”

Ho hopes in time to wear out this peculiarity, aud when he increases his speed ou the typewriter he no doubt w ill.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Tbe Thursday afternoon Whist Club had an outing at Oakland Tuesday. After a well served picnic dinner in the pavilion whist was played and prizes were wou by Mrs. W. H. Bird and Mrs. F. F. Burpee. There will be another outing in a fortnight, tbe arrange ments for which are io the hands of a com­mittee comprising Mrs. W. H. Bird and Mts. J. M. Blackington.

Walter li. Long was in tbe city Tuesday evening enroute for bis home in Canton, Mass., after spending a week’s vacation "down east.’’ Mr. Long resided in Rockland when a boy and later at White Head where where bis father, Capt. Long, who will be re membeied by our older people, was keeper at tbe lighthouse. It was while Capl. Long was in charge that the lighthouse inspector made his famous night trip to tbe various lighthouses in this district. Quite a number of tbe keepers were caught napping, or in other words asleep at their post, although tbe lights were burning all right, resulting in tbe appointment of several new keepers. No night inspections have been made since and the lesson of twenty odd years ago will not be forgotten. Capt. Long was not one of tbe unfortunates, it might be well to state for be answered tbe inspector's signal with a lantern.

The annual proprietor’s bop at Bay Point Hotel Thursday evening was far and away the most successful event of that sort ever given at this popular hotel, and reflects much credit upon Mr. and Mrs. Sewell as host and hostess, as well as upon Edmund Elton of Boston, who bad direct supervision of tbe function. Tbe decorations ol the ball room were m green and white and very tastily ar­ranged. Tbe conceit program which pre­ceded tbe ball was received with hearty appreciation and there were many expressions of regret that it could have been more ex­

tended. The music was furnished by the Bay Point Orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Bettha Boardman Elton. The dance order contained eleven numbers and three extras. At intermission which followed the eighth number on tbe order the guests ad­journed to the dining hall where a very tempt­ing collation was served. W. A. Jailett and Benjamin King, Jr., were instrumental in presenting the very tempting menu, which in­cluded a number of fancy dishes. The cen­terpiece was a fac simile of Morro Castle. W. A. Clarke, the hotel confectioner, whose work it was, was the subject of many com­plimentary remarks. The costumes worn at the bop were remarkably striking and our only regret is that limited space precludes publishing the entire list. The Rockland society folks who attended the ball report it an exceptionally charming event.

Mrs. Annie Buttrick Ryder, wife of Fred­erick T. Ryder, secretary of the Boston Rub­ber Shoe Company, died after a lingering ill­ness, at Dr. Paine’s private sanitarium in West Newton, July 25, at the age of 39 years. Mrs. Ryder was born in Boston, and was the daughter of the late John W. Bartlett of that city. She had been a resident of Malden lor tbe past eight years. ITue children survive her. Mrs. Ryder was mMevoted wife and mother, and although in dglcate health for the past two years, was alwa^ bright and inter­esting in her home life. Mr. Ryder, who is private secretary of Hon. E. S. Converse, is a former Rockland boy.

Springfield Republican : Mrs. William H. Hick more, 63, a well known resident of tbe North End, died July 3, after having sufieted nine weeks of illness Irum a cancer. Forty years ago Mrs. Bickmore moved to this city from Rockland, Me., and since that time had lived at her late home at 468 Chestnut street. She was well known and was a woman of character which invariably compelled respect and love. For a long time she was a member of tbe Carew street Baptist church. Mrs. Bickmore leaves beside her widower, one daughter and two sons, who are: Mrs. Lizzie Campbell of Providence, F'rank of this city and William 11. Jr., of Hartford.

Miss Linda A. Jones of Vinalhaven, a post graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, is to lecture at Philharmonic hall next week upon the "Fletcher Music Method," simplex and kindergarten. It will be recalled that u few weeks ago Miss Jones had a very interesting article in this paper describing the Fletcher method and its important bearing upon musical instruction with the young The object of this method is to give a funda mental, systematic and logical musical educa­tion in a way wkich pleases children, by appealing to tbeir imagination, love of symbolism, and the picturesque so prominent in childhood. The principal aims of this method are to trail the ear; to make children familiar with time and musical signs and de- veloperythm; to teach them to read music rapidly; to give them a thorough knowledge of the keyboard of the pianoforte; to teach them how to build the major and minor sca!es;to make the fingers anil wrists flexible; to create interest in the great masters of the past and present. Miss Jones desires that parents with young children wilt be present, as well as all lovers of music. She will give two lectures ol one hour each, forenoon and afternoon, illustraiing with pianoforte and a class of young children. The lectures are free and announcement of the date and hours will be made later.

UNION-A correspondent writes: "An item in

The Courier-Ga/.ette's Union new* of Aug. 2 tells about depredations to flower pots, etc., about town. Your readers are curious to know where all these alleged ’depredations’ have been located. Beyond the tipping over of several unsightly barrels, evidently the work of mischievous boys at play, the writer can learn of no 'depredations.' The inci­dent is too trivial to command newspaper notice.”

Few men understand women. When a wo­man is weak, sickly, nervous, fretful, irrita­ble and despondent, the average husband imagines that she is

only out of temper. An average bus- ntl will probably simply go out and leave

her alone for awhile, ’ "to have it out with herself.” A bad husband is liable to go off and get drunk. The fact is that the poor wife is suffering from illness of a de­scription that breaks a woman down sooner than any thing else. Her back is weak and aches. Her ” sides stitch.” She has pains and a dragging sensation in the abdomen. Her appetite is touchy and she suffers from nausea. She has sick headaches, giddi­ness, dizziness, cold chills, flushings of heat, shortness of breath, palpitation, dis­turbed sleep, frightful dreams, irregulari­ties and nervous and trembling sensations. Her pain-racked nerves arc a continual torture.

A woman in this condition is suffering from weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs concerned in wife­hood and motherhood. Dr. Pierce's Fa­vorite Prescription makes these organs

well,P-transformed thousands of sickly, nervous,

petulant, childless and unhappy women into happy, healthy, helpful, amiable wives and mothers. It banishes the discomforts of the period of prospective ninternity and makes oaby’s advent easy and nlmost pain­less. Good medicine dealers sell it and an honest druggist does not try to urge upon you an inferior substitute for a little extra profit.

The error column and wildness of the Thomaston pitchers tell the story of how Rockland won In that town Monday. , Henry’s arm went back on him completely and tbe Rockland players fairly walked to second. Fcehan was substituted in the seventh but didn’t get fairly settled down before the agony was til over. E. Kenniston, a twin brother of H. Kenniston pitched for Rockland and barring a little wildness showed up in fine form. He bss good speed and curves. Perry and Peabody both caught finely and hatted heavily. Littlefield's work on first was not up to his standard but his errors were in a measure due to poor throwing from the infield, and he more than made up for them by his heavy batting.

It makes a better circu­lation in the scalp and stops the hair from coming out.

II Prevents and II cures Baldness

Ayer’s Haft Vigor will surely make hair grow on bald heads, provided only there is any life remain­ing in the hair bulbs.

It restores color to gray or white hair. It does not do this in a momeni, as will a hair dye; but in a short time the gray color of age gradually disap­pears and the darker color of youth takes its place.

BARRE 6RANITE NEWS

Barrr, Vt., Ang. 2, 1108.All the ibedi ihut down last Friday on ac­

count of the heat.D. M. Miles hai completed the wall* of his

block, the stone work being all done.Information was received from all aourcei

that more large work is being done at the quarries than ever before.

Peter Murray of Vinalbaven arrived here last week and has gone to work for the Harrison Granite Co.

Frank Small has been on the sick list for two weeki but has recovered and is attending to his duties in the fish market. •

Everyone visiting the quarries is very much interested in tbe operations of Bout- well’s stone crusher which has capacity of 18 or 20 carloads of crushed stone per day.

The writer also visited the quarries of E. L. Smith & Co., Tayntor, Jones Bros., Milne, Clarihew & Gray’s, Marr & Gdrdon’s, Wells, Lamson & Co., Capital Granite Co., Barclay Bros., and in each of these spirea and bases were being quarried nearly as large as those above mentioned.

O. R. Mason of the firm of Mason & Co. of •Burlington, who has tbe contract of building the city hall arrived in the city this morning in company with J. B. Socier of Concord. Mr. Socier will have charge of the stone cutters. The contractors have only sublet one contract as yet. The New England Granite Co. of Concord, N. IL, have been awarded the con­tract for stone work. The stone is to be sent there in the rough and will be cut in this city. In speaking with a reporter this morning Mr. Mason said that the work of erecting sheds for the cutters would commence tomorrow and that tbe tools will arrive about Saturday. The work on the building began Monday.

At the present time at Wetmore’s quarry there can be seen two of the largest granite spires ever quarried from Barre granite, one of which the writer was informed was for Mr. Rockfeller of Standard Oil fame. This spire is 51 feet 9 inches long and 5 foot base and will weigh when finished between 75 and 80 tons. The other spire is 53 feet long and four feet square at the base. Owing to their immense size it is necessary to finish these spireB at the quarry as they were too heavy in the rough to be transported to Barre even on the specially constructed 100,000 pound capacity cars, owned by the Barre Granite Transit Co. The writer also noticed some 12 and 14 foot square bases and immense dies.

The reader of this newspaper, if he takes the time and trouble to look carefully through its columni, will probably find hall a dozen statements tacked on to the foot of reading notices about medicinal preparations. Note this fact. In each and every case as far as Rockland is concerned, as tar as the reader's knowledge of the party is concerned, be might just us well live in the moon. Make another note of this. The only remedy on the market which gives testimony at home, local proof in every town and city in the Union, to back up its claims, is Doan’s Kid­ney Pills. They all try it, but they cannot do it. Why they are unable to do it can be solely leit with tbe reader to draw his own conclusions. Here is Rockland proof for Rockland readers:

J. W. Leighton of 28 Rockland St., says: "About 10 years ago I was on a sailing ves­sel and fell from the batch down into tbe bold. Ever after my kidneys troubled me more or less. I spent considerable money for a poor man in doctoring and using kid

| ney medicines, but I got little or no relief. Of late my kidneys troubled me more than ever with a dead aching pain, particu­larly along towards morning when I would lie awake and roll from one side to the other trying to find a comfortable position so 1 could go to sleep again; but the chances were that I would lie awake until morning and suffer. There was also a urinary weak­ness which was very annoying, more so at night. Well, I got a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Donahue’s Drug Store. That one box of Doan's Kidney Pills did me more good than anything. My by back felt much better and stronger. 1 could rest more com fortable at nigbl. The secretions of tbe kid' neys returned to tbeir usual condition. Doan’i Kidney Pills helped me in every way and > will always speak well of them.”

Doan’i Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealer!, price 50 cents. Mailed by Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States.

Remember tbe name Doan's and take no other.
