The Andover Review for February

In this number the Rev. DR.. Adams attempts to
solve the problem Of the manufacturing town
from moral and religious point of view. His
statements and suggestions are valuable. Mr.
Tullow contributes an interesting article on the
religious element IN the writings OF Victor Hugo
showing that he always inculcates belief in
God the seul, and Immortality, though in his last
illness he rejected the advances of the Archbishop
of Paris, as unwilling in anyway to endorse the
hierarchy and spiritual pretensons of the Church.
DR.. Chauncey Langdon describes at length the
attempts of foreigners, more especially English
and Americans, to evangelize the Italian masses
Though well meant he is not sanguine of their
success, because they are too far removed from
the ideas and idiosyncracies of the Italian people
and do not commend themselves to the leaders OF
thought in Italy. The editorials are as vigorous
as usual. They relate to the Ignetian EpistleS,
seven of which are accepted as genuine; the Eng
lish Elections; and the Fear of differences,
which keep some good people in moral bondage
all their life time.

is the same John Goode who. a few years
ago, obtained seat in Congress by those
methods which find favor only In the South
and which are abhorrent to every true
American citizen. As candidate he con-
Quoted his campaign strictly on fraud ba-
sis But after ALL his methods of fraud and
violence were insufficient to count him in,
and his competitor was given the certificate
of election. Goode, however, appeared as a
contestant, and Demscratic House seated
him, notwithstanding the fact that Demo-
cratic committee was forced to report unfa-
vorably on his case.
Goodies career is one upon which Repub-
lican Senate, in justice to Republican princi-
pies, cannot look with favor His character
and his record both before and after accept
ing the Office he now holds, warrant. an i'm

If our reform Mayor desires to improve
the police force and enforce his late order as
to offensive partisanship," he had better
turn his attention to officer Lawton, who
made himself conspicuous at the late caucus
in Ward 8, by distributing ballots and other
wise influencing voters in their action. This
is the same officer who was suspended by
Mayor Libby for neglect of duty, and who
since that time has been an earnest if not a
iudieious. supporter of Mr.. Deering.

The most amusing contribution to the his

been furnished by newspaper reporter, who
said that the sum of 100000 was not suffi

an opinion as to the price that would receive

The iron and steel industries had invested

all know, has gone on since 1880 in some par

An examination of the report of the
auditor to the City Council of the
state of the appropriations and expenditures

Captain John Condor of Belfast advances
theory concerning the loss Of the Cam
bridge, which, if correct, ought to be care
fully noted and more thoroughly understood
He says that the current along the coast is,
to large extent, governed by the wind. For
some time before the Cambridge disaster a
strong east wind had been blowing, which
caused westerly current. This, striking
the steamer on her starboard bow, threw
her inshore and directly on to the Old Man.
If this Is correct theory the mariners along
the coast ought to have better acquaintance
with such condition of affairs

FATHER AND DAUGHTER DEAD

1t has seldom occurred in the history Of
any one family in Marietta when there were
two corpses in one house, but such was the
case Tuesday night and yesterday An aged
father and invalid daughter reposed in the
cold embrace OF death at the residence Of
Mrs. II. G. Cole, daughter of the former and
sister of the latter Miss Louis E. Fletcher
died about seven o'clock Monday night and
Mr. Dix Fletcher died at ten o'clock Tues
day night Both had been on beds of aflic-
ton for long time; sufferers in the flesh,
their released spirits soon joined each other
on the other shore, rejoicing in deliverance
from the shackles Of clay and triumph over
the grave. Their Christian lives bright in
good deeds and loyal devotion to God, dispel
all doubt as to their being numbered with
the redeemed of the "crncifed One"
Mr. Dix Fletcher was SO years of age and
one OF the oldest of our citizens having been
a resident dating far back beyond the war.
He at one time kept hotel in this place,
but in later years devoted himself to farm
ing. He was a good and worthy citizen,
highly esteemed by our people and his death
is deeply regretted. But he has served his
day and generation we'll and has gone to join
his sainted wife who has preceded him.
Our sympathies are extended to the bereav
ed relatives
Miss Louise Fletcher's funeral took place
at st, James Church, Wednesday morning
and Mr.. Fletcher will take place this after
noon Thursday at 430.
