''Inchurched.''
Lewiston Journal
A wealthy New York merchant has en-
ployed Il minister to labor in rural Maine
for year among the "unchurched." Peo-
PIE who have not Investigated the matter,
have little idea of the opportunities for
such labor. ON crossroads within ten
miles of Lewiston, there is absolutely no
observance of the Sabbath. Men were in
the fields pulling turnips, and women were
hanging out washings, last Sunday.

On Wednesday al the White House re-
ception President Harrison shook nearly
seven hundred hands IN % minutes, which
breaks the hand shaking record at the
White House This is IA practice which
certainly appears to be without decent ex-
cuse for being. 1t is not only very tire
some and irksome to the chief magistrate
but it frequently results in serious lame
ness of haud aud shoulder of the chief ex-
ecutive, and certainly the holding of the
hand of the President for a second or two
j. Of no real benefit to any one. IL Is a
senseless practice that ough: to be discon-
tinued, and yet any attempt to do away
with it would probably result in ill-sdvised
growls from chronic kickers that the Pres
ident was getting aristocratic notions in
his head.

had only done what il had been doing for
many years, namely, returning an honest
valuation on everything. The fact that 1t
was the only county in the State to show a
decrease could not be advanced "a an argu-
ment in favor of an increase, because while
other counties had in former years returned
their property too low, Wayne had always
been fair In the matter. The decrease was
very slight and was due to various
causes among which might be cited a fall
ing OF in population in the county outside
of Richmond and the fact that the county
was just outside the gas belt. This tended
to depreciate the value of Wayne county
