Croix near DEVILS Head, in Calais, is to be
opened the present week. 1t has been most

Three assessors, three S. s. committee. con-
stable collector, treasurer, two fence viewers,
two surveyors of lumber, clerk, moderator

much Office as!he could we'll stagger under.

The Colonel sise Is Not In It..

The board of engineers of the city of
Portsmouth, N. H., have voted not to allow
any of their steam fire engines to leave the
city on the Fourth Of July. This is doubt
less wise policy in view of the great liabil-
tiles for fire on that day, but it deprives the
Portsmouth iremen of the walk-over they
thought they were going to have in this city.
They have an engine, the Colonel Sise. that

MR.. BUNKER'S REWARD
Turns out To Be More Visionary than
Otherwise.
[special to the Press.l


WATERvILLE, June City Marshal
Bunker returned from his Massachusetts
trip last week. Strange to say his pockets
did not bulge with that big $4,000 lump
which was to reward his shrewd detective
work in the arrest of Bowen the Attleboro
thief, and more than that he appeared very
disconsolate when questioned upon the sub
ject and finally admitted that his chances of
getting anything out of the affair were dis
couraging to say the least. The rewards
are offered in various countries and in order
for Mr.. Bunker to scoop them all he has got
to have the culprit tried and convicted in
every country. This of course can't be done.
The Massachusetts officers are naturally not
much inclined to assist Bunker and the
present indications are that Bowen will be
tried in a county where no reward has been
offered at all. Mr.. Bunker however saws
that he feels sure of 5000 from Attleboro.

Postmaster ManIey's Salary.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Senate COM
mittee on post offices and post roads today
reported favorably the bill to increase the
salary of the postmaster at Augusta, Maine,
from $4,000 to $500 year.
The situation at Augusta, the committee
says, is peculiar. While doing an immense
business comparatively, the mail shipments
averaging fifty tons a day, the receipts of the
post Office do not indicate the fact. Several
publishing houses are located there which
receive in remittances stamps to the amount
of more than quarter of million annually
so they are compelled to purchase stamps
for but small fraction of their shipments;
In view Of this fact the postmaster general
recommended an Increase of $500 OF the
salary OF the postmaster and the Senate CON-
mlttee endorsed the recnmmend

Meeting Of the Board of Missions

sions was held in the Cathedral last evening.
The services began with singing by the

there were readings from the Scriptures.
After singing by the choir, the secretary Of
the society. Rev. Mr.. Ogden, read very in
teresting report. At the last quarterly
meeting new departure was taken, In hav
ing the seeretary's and treasurer's reports
read at the convention. The history Of the
church In Maine is history Of missionary
work. He traced the history Of the church
from the first settlement In Maine. In 1s47,
Bishop Burgess was elected bishop. For the

emigration, many young men and women 60

Rev. Mr.. Short of Newcastle gave a brief
address on missionary work. Church work
and mission work are not dissimilar. Call
1t church extension. which includes both. In
theiWest there are 1900 towns where there
are no religious services. He called atten-
tion to the colored people, 70 per cent Of
whom can neither read nor write. Self sac
rifce is necessary for the benefit Of the
work. The law of political economy is,
where the demand is there is the supply. In
religious matters there is no demand, be-
cause there is no supply.
Rev. Mr.. Stafford, rector Of Grace church,
Bath, emphasized the need of more thorough
conservation. Begin our missionary work in
the home circle, then extend 1t TO the Sunday
school, outside in the city, then out into the
state, and finally let it reach foreign lands.
Our life all the way throughout must be an
Offering; always sitting at the feet Of Jesus,
and then always carrying the message. Let
your whole life be one of missionary activi-
ty.
A collection was taken while the 283d
hymn was being sung, and the service was
closed with prayer by Bishop Neely.
