steal a representative from the Gouldsboro
class and the easiest way to do it was to com
nit forgery. Therefore forgery was resorted
to. The town clerk of Gouldsboro was Sam
uel W. Libby He appeared before the Hale
committee and swore that he never made the
lower curved line in the middle initial "B."
His record book showed that every time Mr..
Bragdon's name had been written by him it
had been written correctly-Oliver P. Brag-
don. His method of making P was to leave
the curve or loop resting on the upright line.
All the Ps in the record book were made in
this way and in no case had he made any -four
1sh which could be tortured into the lower
curve of B. He said he had intended to
write and did write p in the representative
return and entertained no doubt but that it
had been altered after it had been sealed up
and sent to Augusta. An examination of the
Councils tabulation shows that Gouldsboro
was first tabulated for Oliver P. Bragdon and
afterwards Mr.. Bragdon's name erased and
the name of James Flye inserted The eras-
ure had not been thoroughly made and it was
very easy too see that Mr.. Bragdons name had
been first written The partial erasure of the
lower curve of the B in the return was un-

lon and Council is requested to fix its numer-
GUS eyes on the facsimile of the representa-
tive return from Gouldsboro which appears
above. 1t is requested to pay special atten-
ton to the middle initial ''B' and the "B'' at
the beginning of Bragdon. 1t will be noticed
Chat is everybody but possibly the Argus
will notice. that the first "B" is essentially
different from the second "B." The upper
curve in the former is much larger than tho
lower curve while in the latter the reverse is
the case. If it were possible to reproduce the
middle initial "B" exactly as it appears on the
return it would be seen that the lower curve
the line which distinguishes P from b, is
scratched over, as if the person who made it
had intenped to erase it, 1t would be seen al
so that the lower curve is in different colored
ink. The dissimilarity of the two "Bs,'' the
erasure and the different colored ink are easily
explained

Mr., Needham the EVANGELIST.

The Rev. George G. Needham, the we'll
known Evangelist, occupied the pulpit at the
High street church morning, afternoon and
evening yesterday, addressing crowded audi
ences. In the morning his subject was "What
is the highest SERVICE" and was founded on
Hebrews xi:5: by faith Enoch was transla-
ed that he should not see death; and was not
found, because God had translated him; for
before his translation hhe had this testimony,
that he pleased God"
The highest nature of Christian service, said
the preacher, is to please God. and all of us
who believe in Jesus Christ should covet this
this testimony that we have pleased him. I
have found many of the Lords disciples dis
satisfied with their work in the Masters SER
vice, and find also that it is a dissatisfaction
with the result of the work, that comes from
a two great earnestness in clinging to some
form by which they feel that they must labor
They substituted interest in the machinery for
doing the work for interest in the work itself.
We should labor to fill up every moment of
this short life, not for ourselves but for God.
1t will not do tofmake the service of Christ a
burden. We must not find it cumbrous. We
must walk with God. We must be in harmony
with Him. We must keep step to the music
OF His word. God will meet the sinner? Yes
at the cross, and unless you have met God
there all your moral and reformatory work
will count as nothing. The keynote to the life
OF Christ was his desire to be about his
Fathers business. There was nothing selfish
in His nature. He sought to do the will of
God. The Lord keep us from spirit of man
service To sserve God must be our inward
and outward motive.
How shall we seek to please God? First by
believing second, by obeying; third by de-
lighting in Him, in Himself as a real, pres
ent personatGod, in Christ as our best and
ever present friend; fonrth, by laborng for
Him. Let every part and faculty of the man
bear Gods mark of ownership; and last, re-
member that no unconverted man can please
God. His work may benefit humanity but
of life.

The Conlav.McKau Match


The match between P. H. Conley of this
city and John Mckay of Halifax, is the topic
of discussion in Nova Scotian aquatic circles
now. The race takes place, weather permit
ting, tomorrow on the course ON Bedford basin
over which the Smith Ross and Smith Morris
races We're rowed last year. The stakes are
$500 side. Conley rowed in a regatta at
Lowell, Mass. on Independence Day, when he
defeated Ten Eyck and Lee, besides couple
of other oarsmen of less note, in two mile
race. The two first named men had, however
rowed in Boston the same day, and possibly,
were not in condition. This, Conley says, is
the only single scull race he ever rowed in.
He arrived in Halifax on Wednesday, by train
with Mr.. William Spellman, his trainer, and
went at once to the basin, carrying his boat.
They were unable to obtain suitable accommo-
datlons, and after wandering about until they
were nearly discouraged, the vice president of
the Halifax Rowing Association saw them and
rendered them the use of Smiths boat house.
which was gladly accepted. Mckay is located
at the -Four Mile House. where he is being
trained by an old American sporting man
named William Scharff. Both the oarsmen
are hard at work. Mckay continually makes
q better appearance on the water, rowing
slow, neat stroke. Conley pulls much quick
er stroke, splashing and rocking his boat lit
tle OF course this may only be assumed to
influence betting. When the late George
Brown went to Springfield to row Scharff, the
''slouchiness' Of his style before the race pro
voked much unfavorabe comment, but the
want of style totally disappeared and the gem
eral opinion was the Halifax people had sent
them "darned old rowing machine" and
not a man at all. AS yet there has not been
very much money put up. Williams, the boat
builder of Lowell, Mass, who has boated Con-
ley, is his principal hacker, but some Halifax
ence to Mckay. This is principally because
it is believed there that the people having
Conley in hand would not send him down
there to row against stranger without know
