Bnwdoin's commencement and the cele bration of its centennial was formally, opened, this afternoon, bv President Wil liam la-Witt Hyde's baccalaureate sei mon before the graduating class in the Congregational church. The church was crowded with interested listeners and the graduating class in a body, clothed in ca|i and gown, occupied prominent seats. The pr sident’s rmon was strong, full of apt illustrations and forceful declara tions. His subject was ’’The Experi ment d Nature of Religious Knowledge,” and the text taken from John vlH, 17: If any man willeth to do hts will, he shall know of the teaching. He said in sub stance: "Infinite harm has been done to religion bv mixing up with It debatable sclent!lie. theorhs and doubtful historical facts.

Special Services Held in the Churches and City Hall, Sunday. Splendid Program for Monday and Tuesday—Beautiful Decorations. Waterville, Me., June 22.—(Special). —Waterville, Queen of the Kennebec, is now in the midst of the celebra tion of her 100th birthday anniver sary. Her loyal sons and daughters are gathering from all over the country in honor of the occasion, and after months of preparation she is ready to welcome them. Her house is all in order, the larder is abundantly stocked, and without a care to trouble her she can devote herself wholly to the entertainment of her guests. She is just loo hundred years old to a minute, today, and although the cele bration really opened, Sunday, and will continue through tomorrow, this is the day that is the occasion of it all. The manner in which the idea of celebrated started is rather interest ing. Of course there had been talk tor years of celebrating the centen nial when tin- proper time should ar rive, but over a year ago the idea of celebrating the Fourth of July was agitated. This had not been done for many years and some one thought that an event of this kind would just lit in. last year. The suggestion met with considerable favor, but before any plans could be made, some one else discovered the fact that the centen nial would fall in June of this year, and suggested that all the powder be stored in a dry place and saved for the celebration of this event, rather than of the nation's birthday. The idea was accepted with general en thusiasm and soon every one's atten tion was turned to the centennial. The matter was discussed for some time without any decided move be ing made, although it grew in populai favor every day. At length the Board of Trade, Dr. J. F. Hill being presi dent, took hold and set the wheels to revolving. A meeting was called to discuss the matter and was largely attended. It was decided that the Board should take the initiative and then turn the whole thing over to the citizens in general that they might handle it as they saw fit and that it might be under the auspices of tho city as a whole rather than of any tornial organization. So a date was lixed by the Board lor a'citizcns' mass meeting to be held in City hall. At this meeting plans were discussed in a general way, speeches made in favor of the event and a committee of lflh of the citizens appointed to have general charge of all of the preparations. This com mittee was as follows: F. Thayer, president: F. W. Clair, see.; 1'’. A. Knauff, treas.; Walter (letehell, Simeon Keith, E. (1. Mender, A. A. riatsted, C. K.

A meeting of this committee was soon after held anil the real work of making the preparations for the cele bration bejran. This was in the fall of 1901. The Committee of 100 se lected IS sub-committees to have special charge of the special parts of tiie arrangements. The chairman of these snb-committees were constituted an executive committee, which was given general power and a general su pervision of all the work done by the committees. Dr. Frederick Thayer was elected president of the commit tee, Fred W. Clair, secretary, and F. A. Knauff, treasurer. In this way the work was well divided and everything systematised for good work.

Extra Session May Be Called After November Elections. Washington, June 22.—Tin- sessions of the Senate (luring the present week will be devoted to odds and ends of legislation. It was the purpose of the Republican steering committee to make the fuban reciprocity bill the order of business after ttie disposition of the inter-oeeanie bill, but the two Republican conferences have rendered it evident that there could be no reci procity legislation this session, so the steering committee has abandoned its pu tpose. Some interest is manifested in the notice Senator Quay has given that, tomorrow, he will call up his motion for the discharge of the committee on territories from further consideration of the omnibus statehood bill in or der to secure action on it during the present session, but the understand ing now is that lie will not press his motion and that the question will go over until the next session of Con gress in obedience to the wish of the Republican leaders. Senator Rate, however, has stated that if Senator Quay does not press his motion he (Rate) will move to have the com mittee discharged and the bill taken up, but coming from tin* minority side of the chamber it would be predes tined to defeat, as it is understood very few if any Republican senators will support such a motion if made by a Democratic senator. on Tuesday, the Senate will take up, in obedience to the wish of Sen ator Burton, the lull creating a na tional forest reserve in the southern Appalaehain range. Wednesday. Senator Mcf'umber will be heard in support of the pure food bill, but there will be no effort at that time to pass the hill. Senator Stewart's bill concerning the agreement with the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians is the unfinished business and it is understood to be Stewart's purpose to press its con sideration when there is no more highly privileged matter to be con sidered. Senator Penrose. Monday, will re port the general immigration hill and it is understood that he will make strenuous effort to have the measure considered during the week, or at least before the final adjournment of Congress. For tlie n st, the work will be given •v* r to r*nferenee reports on appropria tion bills ami nth. r measures in dispute bet wet'll tile two houses. The conference report on the naval ap propriation hill will lit* submitted. Mon day. and early consideration will be giv en the report. There also will bo an ef fort* to have the dispute over the army hill adjust'd during the week with som* prospect of success. The committee on appropriation will lake up the genera! deficiency bill, tomor row. and will report it the latter part of the week. This is the last of the appro priation bills and with its disposal there will be little in the way of linal ad journment of (hingress. Senators generally predict that the Con gress will disperse between July 1 an.I The session probably will 'be extended somewhat by the necessity of concluding i consideration of the Philippine govern ment bill, as all the appropriation bi!! coaid be finally disposed of during thi present \vi ek. I he eon I er* nee between the two lions-s on the internee.inie canal hill has beer irranged and it is xjm-i t« »l that an agree ment will he reached during the present, week. It is possible that the Cuban commltte will report the reciprocity bill before ad journment, blit it it should do so then will be no effort t sanction on it in view of the well-known opposition «»f a large part- of the Senate. Tiie friends of the policy of reciprocity, however, are quite determined to brin.i tin- matter up at the next session and re port that they will not desist until they accomplish their purpose. Whether in the end they will do this through a bill »r through a treaty they do not now un Jertako to say. It is generally understood about tie Senate that a reciprocity treaty with Ca ba Is well underway, but it is not be lieved that there will lie any effort to rat ify it during the present session even if the document should be sent to the Sen ate. The disposition in brief Is to go I the country on the question, in tin* hop-: that the cause will he strengthened there (Continued on page 3.) WAITT BOND BLACKSTON CIGARS The constantly widening breach in the salqp between the Waitt Si Bond Blackstone and all other ten-cent Cigars is not caused by luck, but by real merit, brought about by the following conditions: Clear Havana filler, bought direct in the island of Cuba by our own buyer. Finest Imported Sumatra Tobacco for a Wrapper. Best of skilled Union Workmanship, under the closest expert super vision, in the cleanest and lightest Factory in New England, under perfect sanitary conditions. These facts are what have won the confidence and admiration of the smoking public, who have placed the Waitt Bond Blackstone on a pedestal so high that, today, it stands alone in sales and quality.

CORONATION WEEK

Opens With Sunshine After Weeks of Bad Weather. His Majesty’s Appearance Belies the Rumors of Poor Health. London Crowded With Visitors for the Coronation Festivities. London, June 22.—The reappearance, today, of brilliant sunshine, after weeks of rain and murky weather, gave to the first day of Coronation week an air of unusual gaiety and gladdened the hearts of thousands of British sub jects from all parts of the empire and the thousands of foreigners who are pouring into London. The announcement that King Kd ward, Queen Alexandra and the court would return to London from Windsor, tomorrow at noon, increased the uni versal anticipations for that day and served to quiet to some extent the flood of extraordinary rumors concern ing the King’s physical condition voiced in quarters by the wlerd tales of plots to assassinate His Majesty, anil other fictions, all of which have been promptly denied by the officials most intimately connected with the King. King Edward’s health was authori tatively declared to be good at Wind sor Castle, today, and, this morning, His Majesty attended Divine service, accompanied by other members of the royal family. This evening, he en joyed a drive through the royal gar dens of Windsor Castle in a closed carriage. The court will arrive at Buckingham palace, tomorrow, before luncheon time. At the command of the King many persons were admitted to the east terrace of Windsor Castle, this after noon, for the Sunday hand per formances. The terrace was crowded. The King and the Queen listened to the music from the windows of their private apartments. "Kins Edward’s appearance does not justify the sen sational rumors of his illness. The congested condition of the streets of London throughout today furnished an omen of the conditions of travel through these streets, the latter days of this week. The bar riers across the streets which inter sect those through which the corona tion procession will pass and which have now been completed, are proving an impediment to ordinary traffic. The omnibus companies have increased previous fares two and three times and further increases in these rates are probable. The obtaining of a seat on an omnibus, however, was more a question of physical than, financial ability. The crowds out were singularly good natured; accidents were few and of a mi nor character. The police are distinguish ing themselves by their courtesy and alertness in the interests of pedestrians. Kensington Gardens and the beautiful groves about the Crystal and Alexandra palaces are filled with colonial and native troops clad in scarlet, white, khaki and blue uniforms. The throngs in the streets at night find much to engage the eye. The fronts of innumerable buildings are hung with light deeorations. and the Venetian masts un covered with garlands and connected by strands of roses. The streets arc* tilled with mil** after mile of many colored lights, and the various stations of the royal coronation procession are marked with arches representing Great Britain’s colonies. American tlags were in evidence at a great number of window's. Some ho tels are hying both American and Brit ish flags from their staffs in honor of the many American visitors domiciled within. Count Von Walderse. one of the German representatives to the coronation, the Duke and Duchess of Aosta from Italy, and mam' other distinguished represent atives of foreign royal personages arrived in London, today. Count Von Walderse and the German nfllcers with him were entertained at din ner. tonight, by Field Marshal Lord Rob erts. In toasting King Edward and the British army Count Von Walderse paid a high compliment to Earl Roberts. He said: “We German soldiers know how difficult and arduous was the task th** British ar my had to accomplish in South Africa and this task was accomplished with bravery, humanity and the utmost devo tion to the country.” Replying to the German officer's re marks. Karl Roberts complimented Count Von Walderse** upon his distinguish* d services in Chinn and warmly thank d him in behalf of the British army for his allusions t«* its work in South Africa. Lord Robotts said also: “1 can assure your excellency that wv soldiers are deeply sensible of th** kindly feeling which prompted you to speak of tin* army in such appreciative terms Earl Roberts concluded by calling for a toast to Emperor William and the Get* Ilian hi my. Lord I»nn9down«. the foreign secretary, intended to be present at the dinner giv en to the German officers, but whs pre vented because of slight Indisposition. King Edward's daliy life for th»* past week has been regulated to conform very closely to his physician's advice and this regime has had a very beiutieial effect Iti bringing about his rapid recovery from his recent indisposition. His Majesty re tires earlier ami rises late: he break fasts alone and receives the fewest possi ble guests. He has even failed to attend some of the private morning services in the chapel at Windsor castle. All state business possible lias been put aside an 1 His Majesty has occupied the spare hours of the past week in playing quiet games with members of hie’ own household in his room. Many of the privileged persons who will occupy seats in Westminster Abbey next Thursday will see little if anything of the actual coronation ceremonies. Quite a number of the people who were admit ted to tin* abbey to witness the recent coronation rehearsals were chagrined to find how little could be seen from the seats allotted to them, and in consequence they have decided not to occupy these seats but to accept, in preference, invi tations to view the procession from points along the route of march where they will not have to wait so long and where there will he less restraint A number of seats in the abbey, including those of the judges, only command a view of the roy al procession as it enters the building. Queen Alexandra was seen riding on horseback in Windsor park, yesterday, for the first time in many years. Stn'h an enormous crowd gathered at Alexandra park. Saturday night, to wit ness th«* military tattoo of the colonial troops that the people invaded the reserv ed space and became uncontrollable. The tattoo became a farce and resolved inself into an attempt at a torchlight parade. Another unruly crowd which gathered, today, to witness the military church pa rade had to be scattered by a stream of water from a fire hose before the parade was possible. Various wild rumors current in London', toniglu. concerning ihe health of King Edward were referred to Sir Frances Knollys. private secretary to the King. To these queries Sir Francis has tele graphed the following reply from Wind sor castle: “There is not one word of truth in these reports.” The article in common use as food which has the greatest food value in pro portion to cost is cornmeai; the article having sreatest cost in proportion to it food value is the oyster. A. TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION. Heralded Fire Which Destroyed a Fire Works Factory. West Hanover. Mass.. June 22.—The main factory of the National Fireworks Co., on King street, was burned, today, together with all machinery, stock and finished goods, and several other build ings were badly damaged by a fire that is believed to have been incendiary, causing a loss of from $25,000 to $30,000, upon, which there is $7900 insurance. The company manufactured fire crackers of all sizes and Che fire start ed in a vacant basement room directly under the shipping room, in which were 2i)00 cases of finished goods awaiting shipment. A tremendous explosion gave the first intimation of the fire and for two or three hours thereafter there was an al most continuous fusilade that preclud ed any attempt on the part of the fire fighters to get anywhere near the burning building The town has no fire department, but the residents of the village and nearby places organized a bucket brigade anil succeeded in saving some property that was threatened by the showers of sparks that descended upon fit HARVARD AND YALE CREWS Have a Quiet Sunday After Hard Work of Last Week. Harvard Quarters, Gales Ferry. Conn., Junei 22.—The oarsmen at Red Top have bt*en taking life easy all day, recuperating from their hard row, yes terday. Son* of the men went on a tiolley ride, others went to New Lon don in the launch and some orf the men lounged about! the quarters conversing or reading the papers. The ’Varsity four-oar crew spent a'short time on the river. The freshmen attended church in Norwich and then took a sail down the bay. Yale Quarters, Gales Verry. Conn., June 22.—The Yale oarsmen spent their last Sunday before the race with Har vard on June 2fl. in a quiet manner, all the men taking advantage of the op portunity offered to rest thoroughly. This morning, the ’Varsity crew went down to New London in the launch and returned in time for dinner. The afternoon was spent lounging about the quarters reading papers. All the men are in fine form and are patiently, awaiting the arrival of the race day. JANE TOPPAN’S TRIAL Will Begin at Barnstable, Today, and Will Be Short. Barnstable, Mass.. June 22.—Miss Jane Toppan. who was indicted by the Barnstable county grand jury at the April term of the superior court for the alleged murder by poisoning of Mrs. Mary K. Gibbs of Cataumet, Aug. 13, 1901. will go on trial for the crime at a special sitting of the superior court for Barnstable county here, tomorrow morning. Everything is in readiness for the trial, which it is generally be lieved will not occupy more than two days, and many predict that it will be finished, tomorrow. Although no official statement has been given out regarding the proceed ings. it is understood that they will be devoted almost wholly to the evidence of the three physicians who have ex amined the prisoner at three different times, and their testimony is expected by many to be of such nature that the prisoner will be declared of unsound mind.

Faunre declared that the men who are needed in tin world today are those with the power of growth and the power of service: that the church is being held back, not so much by the men ivli disiik- it it« tin men Who have erased to gr nv and whose minds an- impervious to new ideas, li made a strong plea for men who would Plunge into the thick of the tight and da their utmost to make the world better than stand to one side, attempting ta keen themselves unspotted from the world. The leading thought was the strenuous life— the life that did something and was worth something to the church, the Rt at and the country, that had a part in every thing with a continual Influence for g.-.„'d. It was a splendid sermon, fully up to the high anticipation that had prec-de-i the visit of Dr. Faunre. The speaker was worthy of Ids audience and the au dience the best that Watervill- con id af ford. It was t rtainly a memorable oc casion and one that will live long in the memory of all who attended. After the sermon the Cecilia Cluti ren dered another selection, one from the s r, I’salm arranged by Mendi-Iss ,h„ Vile c-inslng prayer was made bv 1‘resldem Charles 1,. White of Colin.

Ji Bowdoin’s Centennial. This is Commencement week at three of our Maine colleges with a large class graduating at each to the usual accompaniment of class day festivities, alumni reunions, awarding of honors and stately Commencement cere monials. It 's the great week of their lives for the members of the senior class who now leave behind them the •four happy years of undergraduate life and face the stern realities of the bustling and not wholly sympathetic world. Fortunate as few are those of their number who can honestly say at this time that they have made the most of the opportunities their college has given them. And for the alumni in Maine and throughout the land who can steal away from their work for a few days back on the old campus it is the happiest week of the year. Sacred associations are again renewed and loyal allegiance again pledged to class arid fraternity and Alma Mater. At F.owdoin the Commencement week is of more than ordinary interest and importance from the celebration of the completion of a century of work, and also from the fact that the magnificent library building is almost completed and that the announcement is expected of material additions to the endow ment fund. Might years ago, in 1S0-I, llowdoin celebrated the centennial of the gi inting of its eharter with ail oration by Chief Justice Fuller, a poem lit Arlo ftaten and a grand alumni ditiin-r with 1366 graduates present and i iota lib* speech-* by distinguished nun from all over tin- land. At that time alsc the- Walker Art building and the S. nbs Science building were just com pi- ted. two buildings unsurpassed among tie ir kind in the country and to w lil 2, on the completion of Massachusetts Hall, the first college building. After the infant institution was started on its course by the modest though substantial benefac tions of its first patron, James Bow doin. the friend of Franklin, it de veloped through much the same ex periences as the other smaller Sow England colleges; never embarrassed by excessive endow ment, but, on the other hand, generally loyally support ed by the people of Maine and train ing generation after generation of scholars and statesmen whose names figure largely in ’he history of the na tion—names such as those of Haw thorne and I.ongfellow, John S. O’. Ab bott, Jacob Abbott, Elijah Kellogg, Arlo Kates and Samuel V. Cole in liter ature; John Appleton, Thomas Drum mond and Melville W. Fuller in law; Samuel Harris and JIonr>- Boynton Smith in theology: Fordyce Barker in medicine; Cyrus Hamlin among mission aries: Joshua K. Chamberlain and Oli ver O. Howard among soldiers, and in political lif Franklin Fierce, William Pitt Fessenden, George Evans, John P. Hale, Soargeiit S. Prentiss, John A. An drew. Thomas K. Iteed and illiam P Frye. Kemovcd from the great centers of population, Itowde.in stands as a typ •f the smalt college for a great part of Its existence it has had a medical de partment. hut President Hyde has no idea of expansion into a “university.” He has declared his belief in the mis sion of the small eologe in these words: ‘For combining sound scholarship with solid character: for making men both intellectually and spiritually fre“; for uniting tIn* pursuit of truth with reverence for duty, the small college, open to the worthy graduates of every good high school, presenting a course sufficiently rigid to give symmetrical development, and sufficiently elastic to encourage individuality along congen ial lines, taught by professors who are men first and scholars afterwards, gov erned by kindly‘personal influence, and secluded from too frequent contact with social distrai ions, has a mission whh h n,> change of educational conditions can take away, and a policy which no sentiment of vanity or jealousy should be permitted to turn aside." Yet Bowdoin. with an academical de partment giving instruction to *-*‘1 voung men, is a smalt college only rel atively speaking, and would seem in deed a large one to its first president, the nov. Joseph McKeen. who with one assistant opened the college year of IS'C-'OS In charge of a class of eight. Thf the Young Men’s Christian Association to be held in Norway, in August. Dr. Gatling, who invented the gn i known by his name, lias invented a plow operated by gasoline which will do the work of thirty nn :i and eight horses, at an expense of a little more than a day. Prof. S. P. Pico, the newly elected president of Baylor University, at Waco, Tex., less than twenty years ago was a m« mber of a section gang on the Sant i Fe Railroad, earning cents a day with nis spade. Judge Otto Schoenrich, formerly of Baltimore, but now an associate judge in Porto Rico, has just arrived in his home city. He is only 25 years of ag and the youngest district judge the United States has ever appointed. Mrs. J. G. McLaughlin, of Seattle, Wash., has made a fortune in real estate the past tew years. She has also added to her regular income by making maps of the Klondike, which sin* has sold to railroad and steamship companies. Mayor Swink, of Rocky Ford, Col., who has perhaps the largest b* plant in America, is going to take his 1mm s to th World’s Fair at St. Louis. lb propose to construct, of beehives, a ininatuie >f the Colorado State hou.-e at Denver.

Our niece, who had Consumption in an advanced stage, also used this wonder ful medicine and today she is perfectly well.” Desperate throat and lung diseases yield to Dr. King's New Dis covery as to no other medicine on yartli.

BLACK BASS ARE GREEDY, An Angler's Trick to Arouse Their Capricious Appetites. To predict about black bass with much confidence is unsafe and unwise. That fish’ has an appetite most puzzling in its whims. One thin;; certain is that selfishness is largely developed in black bass, particularly in big ones. A well-known sportsman was fishing for black bass in a Kennebec lake. He had poor sport. At last he got a strike from a small bass. The bass had taken his leader fly. He was reeling in. when suddenly he got another strike that made everything hum. and out of the water tit least two feet came a good three-pounder. This bass h id fast in its jaw the dropper lly next ahead of the fly the small bass was on. After a hard light both bass were landed. The angler, encouraged, began to cast again, but a long time without success. Then another small bass took his lower dropper fly. As he was reeling the fish in, zip! came a second strike, and, as before, out of the water leaped another big fellow. This one had taken the lly just ahead of that the little bass was on, and that gave the fisherman an idea. He had often noticed in a pool or aquarium where large and small black bass were together that a large bass, after declining food, would instantly make a rush for it if a small bass at remnted to take it, and would frequent ly abandon the pursuit of one minnow to go after one a smaller bass was pursuing. It was tins selfish greed that bad actuate,l the two big bass lie had hook id immediately after hooking tin- ;v small ones. Thus the angler a rind,] and f|er landing his second caln Wednesday and Thursday of this nook ti)*' hist circus of Adam Fore l .nish Soils Urotlu-rs will come to Maine, hut it v.ill not exhibit in this ciiy. Augusta very rarely is passed by the large rirctis shows, but this year something unusual has happened to prevent its appearance here. Mackerel are scarce in the local mar kets, and as a consequence are high in price. It is said that the scarcity is accounted for by the presence of dog fish in Maine waters in such ntimbers as to almost annihilate the succulent mackerel. Although the high water in the Ken nebec river and the big log jam at Kingham has heretofore retarded the driving of logs, things are now moving along very smoothly. Letter to F. S.

CONY HIGH SCHOOL Congregational Church Well Filled, Last Evening. Rev. Norman McKinnon Preached Baccalaureate Sermon. An Eloquent Discourse Listened to With Interest. Commencement week at the Cony High school opened, yesterday. This i event, to which all the students look forward through their entire course with pleasing anticipation, began with the Baccalaureate sermon, preachcl by Rev. Norman McKinnon of the Congregational church, last evening. The church was well tilled, nearly every seat being occupied. The alumni of the school turned out in large num bers and the directors of the school were present. The class, which num bers 21, occupied seats in the front of the church. The usual Sunday morning order of service was used. The music was by the regular choir of the church and consisted of two beautifully rendered anthems and the responses. Rev. C. A. Hayden of the Universalist church, offered prayer, and the Scriptures were read by Rev. Mr. McKinnon. Mr. McKinnon took for the subject of his sermon. “The Supreme Import ance of Christian Character.” His text was from I Timothy, 1: 16, “Take heed unto thyself.” He spoke in the im pressive and eloquent manner for which lie is noted and his sermon elicited much favorable comment from all who heard it. He spoke substan tially as follows: The two letters addressed to Timo thy are usually called Pastoral Kpistles. They were written by Paul, the aged pastor to Timothy, the young minister. Paul stands as the symbol of old age; Timothy is the embody ment id" ambitious youth. Paul has reached the end of earth’s pilgrimage, and the time of his departure is at hand; Timothy stands on the threshold of lilt- and is on the verge of assuming responsibility. The two pictures stand out in hold relief on the spiritual can vass—Youth and old Age; the Father and the Son. The father is bidding farewell to the world: the son is step ping into tlie footprints of the father. Paul, the hero of the cross embodies the rich achievements of the past: Timothy, the heir of all the ages, is the promise and potency of the future. To the aged Paul let our salutation lie: Well done good ami faithful servant! To young Timothy let us sound a clarion call; God speed; take heed un to thyself! A true father hopes the highest for his son. Our grandsires cherish great expectations when they behold youth stepping into the vacant places. Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of Israel before ascending the lonely mountain. Klijah, the prophet of Jehovah, prays thai a double por tion of his spirit may remain with Elisha. Before receiving the crown of righteousness. Paul, the pioneer of the Christian religion, was eager to impart words of comfort and inspira tion to young Timothy. The young man Timothy was fired by a laudable ambition to stands in the front ranks of Christ's loyal armies, and his aged friend Paul was intensely ambitions to have him stand there. For the pur pose of helping him realize the ideal which they both cherished he gave him this motto of life: “Take heed unto Thyself.” When self is made right everything will be right, thy doctrine, thy loves, thy power with God and man, thy reputation and thy life. In the words of Shakespeare: “This above all. to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day. thou canst not then be false to any man.” And in the words of Pope: “Know then He "li, presume not God to scan. The ip* study of mankind is man.” Till!EE cl DING PRINCIPLES. Tide a tl e principles which govern iv ious life: Love to Cod. lo man. and love to self. I-ovi ti i ii.il r. s the hfc of the spirit. Lov ii, "i i. emarges t’ 1 irt. Love to -ilt eetens toe wh ile of life. Kit p I. irings of these three prin ei; I oiled, for all our social wia'ili .1 civilization are the result of tin harmonious workings of love to God love to man, and love to self. We are constantly urged to love God. The favorite text of many a preacher of the Gospel is: “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and witit all thy soul and with all thy strength anil with all thy mind.” This is right and proper, for the spirit of devotion to the divine principle in the universe should be cultivated. We often hear appeals from the pulpit in the interest of social service, calling upon us to reveal our devotion to our neighbors by deeds of self-sac rifice. This is proper, too, for we look forward into the future and cherish and hope that “Man to man the world o’er Shall brithers bo fur awe that.” Seldom are we urged to make the most of self. The eyes of the soul are trained to look upward and outward but not inward. The base of the tri angle is allowed to be dormant. CHRIST TAX CHARACTER OF SU PREME IMPORTANCE. Nothing is of greater importance in the world than a Christ formed life. Better than any picture ever painted, or any book ever written, or any song ever sung is a true type of Christian character. In the world's column of daily wants there is a standing ad vertisement which reads: Wanted—A man with character. What is character? Character is principle worked out; character is creed in life: character is doctrine In practice; character, is the essential flavor of a man. Character is the im press upon man. the spiritual quality of man, the moral tone of man. A man's character is inseparable from himself. A man's reputation is out side of himself and may be good or bad, true or false. A man’s reputa tion is like his shadow, which, ac cording as the sun is high or low, may be longer or shorter than himself, or may even disappear altogether, as when the sun It at the zenith; but his character is like the color of his (Continued on page 6.) ST. JOHN’S DAY Masonic Lodges of Augusta Annual Observance. Divine Services Held at the Univer salist Church. Eloquent Sermon Delivered by Rev. C. A. Hayden. Bethlehem and Augusta Lodges, F. and A. M.f of this city, observed St. John’s day, yesterday. At 3.15 the two bodies gathered at their lodge room in Masonic Temple. A large number turneirout and the company marched to the Universalist church to attend the services, which began at 4 o’clock. The pulpit of the church was very beautifully decorated. There was a profusion of spring wild flowers and others which came from the green houses of W. II. Gannett. The work of decorating was very artistically done by the Young People’s Religious Union of the church. A musical program was rendered previous to the sermon. This part of the service was in the hands of the Universalist quartet and those artists handled it very finely. This quartet is composed of Miss Sara E. Miller, Mis3j Georgia M. Clark, J. F. Dyer and J. \V. Beck. Miss Elida E. Higgins presided at the organ. Two anthems, “Rejoice j in the Lord, O Ye Righteous,’* by Page, and Sehneeker’s “Love Divine,” were' sung. During the rendition of these* two selections all the singers were called upon to give solo parts and acquitted themselves most creditably. Mr. Hayden’s sermon was pronounced to be one of the finest of its kind given before a local fraternal body. It was certainly a choice production. It was listened to with rapt attention through out its entire delivery. His subject was “Temple Building,” and his text was “Ye are the temples of God.” Mr. Hay den said in part: “David committed to his ron, Solomon, the work of building the tempi**. David, an old man, had dreamed ami planned to erect a house unto the Lord thai should be the glory of Israel. He says: ‘1 had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of tin* government of the Lord.’ But it was not permitted bin. to enter upon that work, lie committed the work unto his son Solomon, and turned over to him all the material In* had gathered, of silver and brass and gold, and enjoined on him in the most solemn manner the great work of building a t* m ph* for the living God. “When we come down to the New Tes tament and to the Apostle to the (lentil- who gave the words of my text to tie* Corinthians, *Ye are the tempi** of God,* he transferred the old literalism inro spiritual significance, and used the work ing tools as symbols for tin* spiritual tem ple wherein man himself is a worker lo gether with God, making his own soul tin* dwelling place of the most high. “All the degrees of Masonry were one.* the practicals workings of architects and artificers. Now it is as a moral scienc« that we use it tr> build men into the moral symmetry of a perfect character. Most striking and beautiful was the porch of King Solomon’s temple, worthy in itself of a journey to Jerusalem to behold. Sup pose a stranger had come to Jerusalem after the completion of the temple on pur pose* to behold it and yet after seeing its beauty had turned on his feet and left without seeking to enter into tin wonderous building ami looking on its in terior beauty. What should wo think if his Free Masonry? Such an on** might he denominated intellectually blind, mor ally lame and Masonicallv dumb. Yet. my brethren, do we not see these blind, lam and dumb Fret* Masons abroad among us. today? Those who are familiar with th porch outside, but ignorant of tin* mean ing and beauty of the inside? None of these things should be. “Every Free Mason is entitled to enter not only the porch of the mystic temple of the craft, but to penetrate into its h-uv place. No Masonic secret is lawfully d* nied him. What a rich reward does tin* fraternity bestow upon every initiate, who seeks to know the entire mystery. We would that it were in our power t*» make this so clear that every brother might comprehend its truth and force.” Hero tin speaker dwelt on the practi cal application of the truths of tin* fra ternity in building a man into tin* noblest character. “The principles of our order will endure through all time,” ha said. “Truth, virtue, brotherly kindness and charity .are m the very heart of the race and cannot die. Our purpos s will endure Age cannot, nor custom stale its InlUdP variety.” Let us strive to build the house “where in the God may dwell, beautiful, entire and clean.” James Orrick. James Orrick died in Waterville, Sun day morning, aged 07 years. Mr. Or riek lived in tliis city for many years, and had been in the employ of the Maine Central Railroad Co. for about 40 years. He served four years in the Civil War and was honorably discharg ed from the service. He then returned to the employ of the Kailroad Co. and had since worked for it here and in Waterville. He was sick for some time at the home of Sherburne Rowe in Wa terville. The funeral will occur, Wednesday forenoon, from St. Mary's church and the interment will be at St. Mary’s cemetery.

CONY HIGH SCHOOL. (Continued from page 6.) eyes; look which way he will, that is the same. "No change of circum stances," says Emerson, “can repair a defect of character.” Character knows no isolation; it cannot, like a suit of clothes, be thrown to one side. If a man is bad, no matter what others may think of him. his character will be bad. If a man is good, he may, through tile false motives of those around him, have a mean reputation, but his character must be like his self, namely good. A man may run away from a bad reputation, for that is out side of himself; he can never run away from a bad character, for that is him self. Christian character is of supreme importance, for it is the re-incarnation of the life of Christ. It is of supreme importance that we have a true self and a true expression of a true self. Every look of ours, every sympathy, every sentiment, every word, every ai t and every inclination should bear the stamp of a true and recognizable Christian individuality. THE GLORY OF OUR AGE. What constitutes the glory of our age.’ Not the size of the census roll, but the grandeur of its living souls. Wherein consists the value of a book? Not in the number of pages which it contains, but in the great ideas which its embodies. Man is of value to so ciety when in possession of a noble character. All the choice fruits of civ ilization are the results of the workings of Christian character. The high ideals of our age are maintained by Chris tian character. Let Christian charac ters cease to dominate and back to the age of barbarism the drift would at once begin. Character is both salt to the earth and light to the world. CHRISTIAN t'HAHAl'TER IS THE RKSCLT «>F PERSf iN'AI, EFFUT. Every grand product is the result of hard and persistent work. The finest product in the world is an ideal char acter. An ideal character must demand effort in production. We admire the character of Pres. Roosevelt' Put his character is simply the result of a solitary word that he loves to emphasize. What is that word? It is strenuous; and it means eagerly pressing or urgent, zealous, ar dent, earnest, hold, valiant, intrepid. Strenuous is an adjective that embodies every phase of persistent effort. We get out of the world precisely the things we dig for. He who digs for dross will find it in abundance. He who digs for the pure gold of charac ter will find the choicer metal. Every man has his own statue; builds him self. Every act is a blow of the mallet on the shaping chisel. Goethe declares in the history of his life that “what we desire in our youth we possess abun dantly in our old age.” Man by de grees becomes the embodiment of his own ambition; the personification of his ardent desires. If the goal of life be the attainment of Christian character that goal will be reached. The purpose must be maintained by means of stren uous effort. The prize of life never falls upon an indifferent soul. If it is the aim of the harp to fill the air with melody it must give up its strings to he stretched to the point of breaking. If the boiler wishes to generate steam it must submit to scorching heat and mighty pressure. If the artist aims to move the world to beauty, he must fol low the example of Fra Angelico find paint in a spirit of devotion with brush in hand find soul in heaven. SELECT THE RIGHT THINGS AT THE HIGH TIME. Remember you are in possession of a will that is free. Every man has the inherent force to accept or reject the terms offered by the world. Epictetus declared “for each man the universe may be classified into things which con cern him and things which concern him not.” Guard against taking the good in place of the better, or the beter in stead of -the best. Education aims to teach all to appreciate the best. I Jo not spend your money for that which is not bread. Do not toll for that which satisfieth not. Sift the things of life. Classify them. Choose. Enter life with decided preft rences, and with concen trated energies and with burning aspi rations and with a distinct mission. DEVELOP A STRONG PERSONAL ITY. Oonptruct your own rroocl. Formulate your own i* lirrkms convictions. T.ik** heed unto th**ys« If. I*si«hllc your own canop. Ijpt there be no blind imitation. Let all your thought and work Iwar i th** stamp of originality. Follow your own independent judgment. Avoid learning to swim by leaning on corks and bladders. If God has blessed you -with strong limbs, it" through tin world without the aid of crutches. Never inarch in a procession to please the captain. Don’t be afraid to stand alone. Never excuse yourself by say ing "They all do it!" That odious phrase falls from the lips of a being destitute of self. Ue strong and or good courage. If you cannot find a way. make one. Remember the saying of the old Norseman: ’I believe neither in idols nor demons; 1 put tny sole trust in niy own strength of body and soul.” BUILD LIFE OUT OF THE DIVINE GRACES. The greatest business of life is the formation of Christian character. Persons who are to transform the world must be themselves transformed. Man has a sacred duty which he owes him self. By so much as man succeeds in building into his life the choice treas ures of civilisation by that much he is expected to inspire his fellows. If any one fails to make a noble type of man hood out of self, he will end by pulling others down. Plato was rigid in de claring that "the granary must be tilled before the poor are fed; knowledge muni be gained lK*fqre knowledge is given.” We can impart to the world only those things which are hidden away in our own fife. Let the parting word to the graduat ing class of the Cony High school bo, select from the full and resplendent Christ the true standard and Ideal of life. Aspire to a w holesome existence, to an inner harmony, to moral grandeur, to the pure sources of the divine. From the darkness in which so many noble youth stumble, set thy face toward the fight of the morning star. Take the Master as your guide, for there can be no Christian charac ter apart from Christ.

Catarrh and How to Cure It Yourself With Home Treatment. Catarrh is a discharge of mucous or pus from the membrane. If the mem brane affected is in the head, it is catarrh of the head. It is caused by irritation, either from within or for eign material from without. This ir ritation is the starting point, because with it is mal-nutrition of the mem brane, and this in turn may be due either to conditions under which you were born, or to acquired influences. If due to hereditary influence, it is the result of consumptive tendencies in the family. It gives you a weakened mucous membrane in which great changes are produced by slight causes, and goes hand in hand with scrofula and other diseases due to impure blood. Mal-nutrition of the membrane is simply lack of proper nourishment, and it is absent in catarrh because conditions interfere with a proper blood supply. Father John's .Medi cine lias for its ingredients the very nutrition these organs require. It soothes and heals the afflicted parts and builds up the system, increasing the vitality so there is protection from colds. A person does not take cold unless tin* vital powers are lowered, and if he takes this eld remedy for a few months each year, he can go for years with out taking cold, and consequently avoid catarrh from that source. It drives all unhealthy material from the blood by stimulating the kidneys, bowels and skin, the channels by which poisonous matter is passed out of the system. With each part of the body receiving its proper nourishment and the unhealthy waste matter driven out, it takes much greater exciting cause to produce the inflammation of the mem brane, which in turn causes the dis Margo i«l mucous or pus—in caiumi. The treatment outlined above is con stitutional and goes to the seat of the trouble. In addition, a simple local treatment is necessary, to keep the membrane clean as far as possible. When the nose and throat are affected a teaspoonful of plain salt to a half pin*, of warm water syringed into the nose gently three or four times a day will be sufficient. If this treaiement is followed faith fully, Father John's Medicine is guar anteed to cure, or the money is re funded. If there is anything about your case that you do not understand, write to Carleton Ilovey, Ixnvell, Mass., and you will receive the advice of their physicians, free. STATE NEWS. KFNNEBEC. READFIELD.

The Universal 1st society of this town entertained the ladies of the Pittsfield so ciety, last Thursday. The day was per fect. Fifty-four members of the society arrived n tin* N.30 train. They w» re es corted to the Town hall, where they were received by the committee in charge. At lo o'clock they were given a carriage ride around town. An amusing incident hap pened at this time. One of the (Minton ladies wishing to do all she could to en tertain, took three of the Pittsfield ladies in the direction of Pair field and they did not get bacK until after dinner. They re fused to tell whether they were lost or had a breakdown. Dinner was served at 12. after which they had an entertainment in the hall at which time Rev. Mr. Coons announced that it was the noth anniver sary of Mr. and Mrs. (loo. il. Hunter s married life, and a very fine poem com posed by Mrs. Angelina J. Brackett in honor of the event was then read. After the meeting they visited the Pub lic library and then went to the depot. The day was a complete success in every way ami a fine time was enjoyed by ail. We say all as we think the ladies who got left must have enjoyed themselves also, but they have our sympathy. F. L. Bess*; says he will start his tan nery, next Wednesday. The (Minton ball team went to Albion. Saturday, but owing to tin* rain the game was postponed. W. I. Cain and wife have arrived home after a two weeks’ wedding tour. J. It.

Turner is very sick with pneumonia at her home in this city. Farmers from the country report that the sweet corn crop will he large, this year. It is slated that the cold weather of the past week has killed the inch worms. Swift Turner have just received a large invoice of old ivory china suitable for choice wedding gifts. The Journal day crew and the “night owls” were again forced to abandon their game, Saturday afternoon. The rain poured in torrents, Satur day night, and the street gutters were filled to overflowing in many places. The pavers could not liuish their work on the railroad turnout near tin post office, Saturday night, because of the storm. The recently issued annual report of (he proceedings of the Maine l'ress As sociation contains a line half-tone por trait of til” late Walter D. Stinson of this city, accompanied by a biographi cal sketch. The '.V. tT. 1'. is tin' recipient of a large liox of wild flowers from the Togps Temperance Union. Twenty beautiful boiuiiifls, artistically arrang ed. and a profusion of wild roses, com pose the donation, which was very much appreciated. The Westfield, Mass., Times and Newsletter has the following reference to a former Augusta hoy, who delivered the Memorial day address in that place, this year: "The address l>y Stanley H. Holmes, superint ndent of schools, was listened to with close attention and it was a masterful oration, dealing with l oth the past and resent. He was in terrupted several times by outbursts of applause and at the close tile marks of approval were hearty and pro longed.” The new through train from Bar Harbor to N1 av York and known as the "New York Limited," does not run through this city on its way west.

A team of two horses driven by Fred Bilodeau became frightened while in front of the Mill block. Saturday even ing. and ran away. The horses, which are owned by fleorge Daniel, held uri m ar Bond street corner. Bilodeau was thrown upon the polo between the two horses and remained in that position vvhih ti e horses were running. His hands and face were badly hruis d and there were several bruises on his body, but his injuries are not serious. Tin horses did considerable kicking vvhil lie was upon the pole and it is almost miraculous that he escaped without much worse injuries. An \ugtista i ynie in the shape of a man says that the following fits his idea to a dot: "That half of humanity which is not the better, but is rude, harsh and uncouth in comparison with the daughters of live, lias often ex pressed itself satirically about feminine fashions, and has uttered seers and tribes .'.l v hat it criticised as the freaks and the Inlli, of woman's apparel, thit when did the fair s> x wear any thing s i uncomely in appearance as the shapeless, ivvlstid, smashed and punch ed imitations of Panama hats of which so vast numbers are S'• n crowning masculine heads'.* This is so fantastic and unpl a ant a fad that it cannot last long.” The rccitiil Riven ;it she Onitarian parlors by Miss Partridges Kindergar ten was even more stieeessful and eharminR than furisi'T i.nes.

The Maine Cen tral and other transportation lines offer special rates of fare to all who wish to attend. Augusta people are afforded ample railroad facilities, as there are eight regular trains to Watervllle and seven regular trains returning each day.

All Humors Are impure matters which the skin, liver, kidneys and other organs can not take care of without help, there is such an accumulation of them. They litter the whole system. Pimples, boils, eczema and other eruptions, loss of appetite, that tired feeling, bilious turns, fits of indiges tion, dull headaches and many other troubles are due to them. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Remove all humors, overcome all ,their effects, strengthen, tone and invigorate the whole system. •‘I had salt rheum on my hands so that I could not work. I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla and it drove out the humor. I continued It3 use till the sores disappeared.” Mrs. Ira O. Brow>\ Bjimford Falls, Me. Hood’s Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps promise. A BOLD ROBBERY. Harold Johnson Attacked by Foot Pads, Saturday Night, And Relieved of Over $40 in Money and Gold Watch, Police Can Find No Clue to Identity of Assailants. No little excitement was occasioned, Sal unlay night, when it was learned that Harold Johnson, son of l>r. John son of this city, had been attacked by footpads, roughly handled and robbed of a valuable watch and $41.33 in cash. In tin interview, Sunday, Mr. Johnson told the following story: "I started out from the house about 8,30 o'clock, telling only my mother the purpose of my errand. I had $40.13, mostly in small change, with perhaps ;t few bills, which i was going to carry down to Col. Henry (1. Staples to pay for the use of the Driving park for this spring by the Cony High school base ball team. I crossed over Chapel street, down Green to State, and thence to Johnson's drug store, where I pur chased a few stamps, paying for them out of my wallet. The money which 1 was to deliver to Mr. Staples was in the side pocket of my coat, tied up in a common shot bag. It was pretty heavy' and weighted my pocket down considerably. I was intending to catch the I* o’clock car for Mr. Staples’ resi dence. but missed it and so had to walk.” In answer to a question he replied that he noticed nobody that he would suspect of being implicated in the rob bery and said that he spoke to no one about his errand. He then continued with his story: "I proceeded down State street passed the State House, and was, its nearly as I recollect, about half way between lit" State House and the first house beyond, on the right. It must have bi en a little after !t o'clock: it was pitch dark and raining hard. 1 had my umbrella tipped forward in warding off the rain, when all tit once the umbrella w;.s tipped to one side anil I received a heavy blow on the head; tit the same moment I was tripped over the bank, which was about two or tnree feet high at this point, upon the electric ear track. 1 was not rendered unconscious by the blow but regained my feet and dealt my assailant a blow which shat tered tlie umbrella into bits. ”1 tln n realized that there were two men to deal with instead of one, and I recognised that one was much larger in stature than the other. I was then grabbed by the collar, but broke away, then one tripped me while the other c.niched iit my throat. I tell. x :e m in!' r th.-it a large-sized man was shutting off my wiml. holding me down wiiii his knee, nearly crushing my cheat in, while the other was going through my pockets. They found my waih t and watch. This I can distinct ly remember, hut after that I was un co'i ious. When 1 regained conscious m ss the men were gone, also the bag of money from my side pocket, my watch and wallet containing $1.20. “I experienced a sharp pain in the region of my chest and my head felt numb.” He said he then went directly home and was attended by his father. Dr. .Johnson, who after milking a thorough examination telephoned the police sta tion the particulars. Dr. Johnson pro nounced no bones broken but said that tile cartilages of three ribs had been torn from place, which was nearly as bad as a break. The doctor said there was a large lump cm his head, extend ing longitudinally but quite narrow, as if a sand bag had been used in the as sault. Mr. Johnson was resting as comfort ably, yesterday, us could be expected under the circumstances. He is manager of the Cony High school baseball team and as it is about the end of the season was paying up hills preparatory to sending in a report to the school. The police have been unable to ob tain any clues upon which they can successfully work, and Mr. Johnson is unable to attach suspicion to anyone The heavy rain of Saturday evening undermined the sidewalk in front of it.- entrance to Masonic Temple to quite an extent.

One of the saddest sights that I have seen for many a long day was a seene I witnessed on Water street, on day last week. 1 have visited Iiellevue and other large hospitals of the coun try and have seen sights that would make the ordinary mortal shudder; scenes that leave an impression upon a man's mind as long as he lives. But su chose the least and clung to the girl and the tie. but after he gets married and moves into a flat or layer, why. things will be different and wifle will have so much to do, carrying wood and water and otherwise interesting herself in domestic amuse ments like hunting for buffalo bugs and trading with pcddlars that she will not have much time to build monstros ity neckties. And then the dear boy will breath asier. As T previously remarked it was one of the saddest eases I ever saw and called for a good deal of nerve on his part. But then, a man who en ters the matrimonial market must have a nerve that creosote will have no ef fect on for he takes chances that would scare a man with good eyesight to death. But this fellow was all right for everybody skys love is blind. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased, portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remed es. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this tube gets In flamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed d.afness is the result, and unleas the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will lie destroyed forever: nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces.
