| The extra meetings In the Methodist
church are of much interest and will con-
time through this week On Sunday
night Mr.. Peter Roderick related his re-
| Ii lious experience, and it was far more
thrilling than any story we have ever
read. Sent here from Canada by the
Presbyterian church to save his life, as
since his conversion he has been most
cruelty prosecuted, and through all this
he says, Its all right. Christ die for
me, die for him. just the same On
Sunday afternoons he will gather together
as many of his people as he can and talk
to them of Christ and his religion, and al
ready twelve have become Interested and
have refused to pay anything more to the
Priest. This has raised up many enemies
for him among the Catholics, and perse-
cution has begun even In our little vii
lage. Only last week his son, while
walking on our main street in the even
ing was sprung upon by two men and his
head badly cut, yet the family are firm In
their faith and will do much good in our
village.

Jefferson Priest.

This venerable and esteemed citizen
died on Saturday morning last, after a
brief illness. While his health during
the winter had been somewhat feebl.r
than usual, the end came quite unexpec-
teddy. His suffering, however, was short,
and he was able to be at the table as late
as the evening before his death.
He was born in Vassalboro in the first
decade of this eventful century. He be-
came Christian in early manhood, and
was baptized by Rev. Henry Kendall,
whose widow is at present a resident of
our town. Soon after his marriage he
removed to Athens which was his home
for quite a number of years. Here he
served as deacon of the Baptist church
He came to Skowhegan some thirty years
since, and was associated for long time
with his son In the crockery business on
the corner of Water and Madison streets
the site now occupied by the Kendall
Brothers. He was an honest man, of uu-
questionable integrity, and was sustained
to the last by the faith which he had pos
sessed so long. He was member of the
Bethany church. The funeral took place
from his late residence on Monday after
noon and was conducted by his pastor.
l.. Goodwin, c. Il. Turner, and Misses
Ella Nash and Nellie Durrell sang appro-

Justice Stanley Matth ews.

The death of Justice Stanley Matthews
the 22nd. was great surprise. Only the
day before 1t had been announced by his
associates on the bench that he was much
better, and that he seemed more cheerful
than for some days. 1t was owing to the
fact that he seemed improved that the en-
gagement of his daughter with Justice
Gray was announced. Justice Matthews
himself had been much more hopeful for
the last two weeks. The statement that
he did not contemplate resigning, and that
he hoped to resume his seat at the fall
term, originated with himself. Justice
Matthews leaves a widow and two daugh-
tiers. His death will cause an adjournment
or the Supreme Court, and possibly of the
Senate. He was as well as he had been for
a long time the 2lst. There was a
change for the worse during the night
He failed rapidly few hours before his
death.
The dead jurlst was appointed in 1881
associate justice OF the United States
Supreme Court, He came from the sixth
Ohio district. He was noted as an ex-
perienced legislator and jurist and his
opinions have been pronounced as being
for their able enunciation OF
legal points.
