MIDSUMMER RELIGION,
Camp of the Sabbatarians.
wArERvnLE, Sept. IL.

WATERvILLE, Sept. II.
Yesterday morning the subject OF foreign
missions was discussed, and stirring words
spoken concerning the importance Of scatter
ing broadcast over the world tracts, papers
and books containing the doctrines advocated
by the Seventh Day Adventist church. The
ary Society was referred to and said to be
extensive. Seventh Day Adventists have
missionary stations in nearly every quarter OF
the globe and are putting forth great efforts to
disseminate what they believe to be true.
Pledges were passed around among the people
and nearly one thousand dollars raised on the
spot for the benefit of European and other
foreign missions.
This meeting was followed by an earnest
discourse on the subject of making sacrifices
for the cause Of God. The following remarks
were made in the sermon: "No people preach
more close, solemn and searching truths than
Seventh Day AdveAtists, and no people should
be more earnest devoted, ..self-sacrifcing and
pure-hearted than they" The people were
admonished to remember, heed and profit by
the instruction given at this campmeeting. and

and the glories of the eternal world are OF far
greater value and deeper interest than the
pleasures, wealth and fleeting things OF this
life.
At 130 o'clock a session Of the Maine Con-
ference was held in the grove. Much business
was transacted and resolution passed to have
the next annual meeting near sumo large city.
Early in the afternoon the work of taking
down tents commenced and lonesome feeling
seemed to creep over the encampment as the
sound of falling timbers announced that the
pleasant assembly was soon to be broken up.
The closing sermon was preached In the
evening by Elder Van Horn from the text
found in Eph. ill., 14-15. The preacher dwelt
upon the great love of Christ, the riches Of his
glory and the wonders Of his grace, and with
great earnestness portrayed the beauty of
holiaess As the closing hymn pealed through
the woodland with sweetly solemn sound, all
hearts were impressed and all minds carried
forward and upward to the great encampment
Of the saints in the city of God.
This morning farewell meeting was held in
the grove. Testimonies were given, tears freely
flowed and deep feeling pervaded the assem-
bly, AS the tenters break camp, no more to
return to Prospect Grove, the general feeling
in the community is that the campmeetinRs
here have been a success and speak well for
the Seventh Day Adventists as people.

PENSION FRAUDS.


Cesnniissioner Dudley Discharges One of
His Clerks.
WARRINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE dismissal of 3
clerk, in the pension bureau named Bonneli,
recommended by Commissioner Dudley, con-
firms the statement made that dishonest PEN
sion agents had confederates in the pension
Office who have been furnishing them with in
side information which enabled them to carry
on their swindling operations against pension
claimants. 1t appears that Bonnell was in a
position to aid the gang by giving them infor-
nation as to the condition of certain claims.
The specific charge made against him is that
he had told an outside confederate that claim
then pending before the commissioner was rea-
dy to be allowed. The confederate thereupon
wrote to the claimant telling him that an early
settlement of the case could be obtained If he
employed the writer OF the letter to manage
it, The letter sent by the claimant in reply
fell into the hands of the commissioner, who,
ON investigation found that Bonnell had CIV
en- out the fact that the claim was about to be
allowed. On being confronted, Bonnell at
first denied his guilt but afterwards admitted
it. Commissioner Dudley is represented as
saying that he will not tolerate collusion be-
tween clerks in his office and pension agents,
and that he is determined to break up swind-
ling operations practised on claimants

About the same time quantity of wreckage

The latter consisted sof deckwork. Similar
wreckage has since drifted ashore along the

rna Rrawar Murder.

Saatore and Capone, the murderers OF Pas
qui at Brewer, were not taken into court Mon
day, as the coroner's jury did not report in sea-
son to do so. Santore, who is said to have
served fourteen years in prison in Italy for
killing man, appears to be breaking down.
He cries, and evidently realizes the position
he is in. He is about 40 or 30 years of age, is
five feet eight or nine inches in height, and
stoops somewhat. He has heavy n.oustache.
He is nervous and does not look one square In
the face. He says Capons is more to blame
than he.
Capone is short, thick-set man, with full
beard, cut quite short. He talks considerably
with Italians who are admitted to see him, and
is confident he will be released for the reason
that he was the first to confess the murder. He
lays the blame on Santore, who, he says, plan
ned the murder and induced him to help COM
NIT the crime. Capone hid his share OF the
money taken from the murdered man. Mar
shall Reed took Capone to Brewer, and he went
to the spot where he said it was hid, and found
the money.

Fully as much corn is raised for canning
purposes as for feed, and is considered more
profitable, TO the farmers. A very large por-
tion of the potatoes raised in Aroostook coun-
ty are used by the starch factories Of that To-
cality, and the larger the crop and the lower
the prevailing market price the more profitable
it is to farmers, comparatively, as the starch
factories have a regular contract price for the
potatoes consumed which remains the same
year after year. There has been very large
acreage of beans raised in Cumberland, Knox,
Lincoln, Penobscot, Piscataquis and Washing
ton counties, and larger crop than usual gath
cred in good condition. All the crops show a
gratifying increase over the census year as fol-
