Waterville Still Wants to be City.

WArrRviLLE, Jan. Is.
A petition to the selectmcu of WateryIle
for town meeting has been circulated and
signed by large number of citizens. The

matter, having rejected it three times

controlling it would be poor. They will
fight it this year on the same grounds. but
the supporters of a city have great hopes that
they will be able to adopt the charter. The
last time they defeated the charter by a

THE FIRST STEAM ENGINE.
The Earliest Locomotive Built A. D
 1926.

We give here an engraving of the first lo- comotive engine, designed by the great Ste phenson, that was run in England. Con- pared to our present speedy and elegant To- comotives that almost out run the wind, it is small and curious affair, practically a tea-kettle on wheels. And yet it was mag nifcent advance over the methods of loco motion in those days, and was the basis of our present glistening and speedy iron giants whose steel tracks girdle the world.
 And yet, important as was this discovery, it, like all others of like scientific, mechani- cal or chemical advances, met with the most absurd objections, outcries and opposition. Jenner, whose discovery has practically swept the globs of smallpox; GalliIeo, whose telescope laid the foundations of scientific astronomy, and Galyani, to whose labors we owe our present magnificent electrical de- vices, were all made martyrs by their wise scientific brethren
 So it is with almost every discovery of sterling merit. So it has been with that great nervine, Scotch Oats Essence From it's discovery by Dr. Buckland in 1858 up to few years ago it was sneered, aye even laughed at by the medical profession. And yet it has triumphed and to-day stands forth the acknowledged head and front of all such remedies, honored by savant, sought for by druggists and praised and blessed by many paralytic, by many an over-worked man and nervous woman whose brain was trembling in the balance; it has soothed pain, given quiet, sweet. refreshing sleep. cooled fever and raised the aching head. For the nervous diseases of women and children it stands lad

Milk Dealers and the Transportation
 of MILK to New York From the
 Mousaton1c Valley.
 When Colonel W. H. Stevenson was super- intendent of the New York division of the Consolidated road the latter had much trou- ble in carrying out it's contract with the Housatonic road in taking the milk to New York that was brought down on the Consoli- dated road. The reason was that the Housa- tonic cars were much smaller than those of the Consolidated and they could not be cou- pied together easily. Colonel Stevenson finally asked that road to arrange the bump CTS on their milk cars so that they could be easily coupled. This was consented to.
 Colonel Stevenson at about that time was elected president of the Housatonic. Then the matter. The Consolidated even went so far as to offer to lend the Housatenic some of their cars. But Colonel Stevenson refused to do what he had previously tried to get the Housatonic to do and began shipping the milk by boat from Wilson's Point to Forty ninth street. He told the producers and dealers that there would be great benefit from the change. MT. Stevenson's object was to get the milk traffic from the Housa- tonic away from the Consolidated. The dealers did not think there would be any benefit from the change, but they consented to try it. The dealers now strenuously objecting to the new way of transportation. The boat has been late every morning for weeks, the milk is frozen and the New York dealers suffer great annoyance and the ship pers loss of money, for when the milk reaches New York most of it is spoiled. The shippers will ask that the milk be sent into New York over the Consolidated road as be-

SERMON Bx DR. mgNGER.

Christ she Light of the Universe
 Bringing Hope and Joy to Mortals. At the United church yesterday morning Rev. Dr. Munger preached. His text was:
 Then spaks Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life"-John 8, 12.
 Not simply, said Dr. Munger, that light is the cause of life; light and life stand for great facts leading us up to the throne of God. The great inquiry of philosophers has been, what is life9 What is hghta Under stand me, says Christ, and you will under stand life. By divine intuition Christ sees things as they are; he did not accept life blindly. Plato in one of his dialogues illus trates the effect of beholding the pure and good, and they rise the highest who most contemplate Christ, for he had the most full and clear conception of life. Let us notice that Christ speaks of God chiefly as father and any other name only leads 10 confuaion If we know nothing of the author of life then we know little of life; if God is un- movable this world is indeed dark and dreary. Hear what Christ saysl The peace makers are the children of God Your father who seeth in secret shall reward you openly. The father is more ready to give spiritual gifts than parents are to give bread to their children.
 These sayings give us 8 much clearer view of things like the s'orb of day." They give light that illuminates the world. Ged is our father, and all mankind is heathen. When we see the earthly father taking his child in his arms, we do not ask why the family was instructed, and this relation of God to the human race has been hidden by questions of theology as far from the subject as Rome is from Calvary. Another ray from the divine luminary was obedience. ''Wist you not must be about my fathers businessi" To do his fathers will was his meat and drink 'Lo I come to do thy will" All good is looked up in law, and obedience is the key. Redemption brings us back in to obedience, it lies at the basis of every true life. s'Nearer to Christ" has no meaning without obedience. ''They who do his will know the doctrine" Christ incarnated the love of God. The great ques- tions of the present day must be settled in accordance with these truths. Human suf- fering touched the heart of Christ, no matter how it originated. Glory,-Christ frequently alluded to glory. Dr. Munger showed by forcible reasoning and a train of elevated thought that this state of glory was not i'm aginary, but real and abiding.
 The weather being somewhat milder yes- terday the attendance was large, and the congregation was glad to see the children from the orphan asylum again in their usual place.
