ing foreign command. After long
and prayerful consideration he COM
municated to me his feelings upon the
subject. At first could not contemplate
his absence from England, where he is SO
much needed, but the development in the
organization of the home field. as we'll as
the experience of its affairs which the COM
mandant's successor has had the opportunity
of acquiring, seemed to render the step
practicable, and 1 have therefore agreed to
it. The services rendered to the army in
this country by Commandant Booth are too
well known and appreciated to require any
extended notice from me. For years gone
by-I nigh say from his childhood-he has
been willing slave to its service. What
he could do on its behalf he has done, and
what he has done he has done with his
might. Early In season and out he has
fought and prayed and played and sung to
promote its interests, multiply its converts,
inspire its soldiers and gain its ends. And
he has done this, believe, disinterestedly,
desiring supremely the salvation of men
and the glory of God.
"The change will necess1tate further
changes in England. Commissioner How
ard will take charge of Great Britain, with
the officers who have ably served the COM
mandant to assist him; Field Commissioner
Eva Booth will take Commissioner How
ards place, having the command of London
and the Training Homes, with Major Rich
ards as her second In command; Major Hig-
gins will have special charge of the Train
ing Homes"
Herbert Booth has had charge of the En-
glish forces of the army for some years. He
took next to General Booth the most prom
inent part in the social reform scheme in
London, and it is said that he will give his
knowledge and experience in that work to
New York.

Booth said yesterday that Mrs. Booth was
one of the most accomplished women in all
England. She is an excellent linguist and
a skillful musician. She has composed both
the words and the music of many beautiful
songs.
Songs and Verses She Wrote.
One of them, written by Mrs. Herbert
Booth to the air of the Miserere in I'll
Trovatore," is sung by all denominations of
church-going people In England. Here are
a few sample verses:
Wealth of this world delighting,
Are you my heart inviting?
Richer am 1 than all your gathered gold.
I've treasure untold!
Fashion and culture charming,
Are you my soul disarming?
Richer adornment do not procure?
Farewell! farewell! farewell!
My robes are pure!
Pleasures OF earth enticing,
You have no Joy sufficing:
Gladness have I your toys can never bring.
Farewell! farewell. farewell!
I'm the child of king.
Mrs. Booth wrote the verses soon after
leaving the social world of London, where,
it is said, she was reigning belle. Some
of her other songs, for which she has COM
posed both words and music, are "a Perfect
Trust" "Walking ON the Waves" and
"Holy Spirit, Save Me, Pray"

 F. V. and J. B. Kibbe are the owners of Hambletonian and Black Hawk stall lion colt, Hosea F., four years old the first of July, which weighs HOO pounds. The Kibbe brothers purchased the colt of Hosea P. Burlington, of Coleraine, Mass. i, when he was 13 months old, and under their management he has developed into \ q fine specimen of horse flesh. E How ilfe-like that picture is! It seems as though she could speak," were { the remarks heard from those who have been favored with a look at the picture hanging on the wall of Mrs. D. c. Pease's sitting room. It needed but glance for us to know that the artist had truthfully placed on canvass the features of one who has for more than four-score years been @ resident of this community. For fear that some of the readers of The Press may not recognize the drift of these remarks we will say that it was portrait of Mrs. D. 6. Pease, and the artist was H. J. Shaw, g former resident, but now located at Bridgeport. Taking the outline from 8 photograph and the main feature from life, Mir. Shaw has succeeded in producing a picture worthy of any artist in this or foreign lands. Quite 8 number of our citizens have employed MT. Shaw to copy photographs of friends in crayon, but in this picture he has adopted a new method, that of finishing in oil, making more lasting picture.

 The Hillside Club held a fair and fes- tival Wednesday afternoon and evening last week in the new barn of Edwin Key holds on Rock Spring farm. The thresh- ing floor, 12x96 feet, was tastefully deco rated with evergreen and flowers, and long tables with white spreads and deco rated with flowers, were arranged in the center of the long floor. Sandwiches, cake, ice-cream and strawberries were in abundance, and none need be long hungry. An improvised post-office distributed let ters to those that called for them, some of which caused hearty laughs by their perusal. A candy shop disposed of many pounds of the sugary sticks and scented drops. An art gallery with more than one hundred specimens of art were we'll placed in room, each article numbered and explained, which were really worth a careful inspection. Fishing in dry lake was indulged in, the angler being sure to get bite of some kind. A gipsy tent on the lawn with gipsies in costume to fore tell one's fortune was one of the attrac- tions of the occasion. In the evening 8 crowd assembled, and the well-lighted building and Chinese lanterns in profusion hung among the trees on the lawn shed their brilliant light in hall and on lawn a delightful scene to behold. None could go away in complaining mood, as there was enough to please the eye and gratify the appetite, however sensitive, and, above all, there was no aristocraey--every one at liberty to feel at home, and all treated on an equality. Seldom is there so enjoyable an entertainment, and the Hillside Club have furnished the public with first-class entertainment, outdoing any of their former efforts in their social gatherings.
 l The fourth was the most quiet of any for years; not even the firecracker, gen. orally let off by the small boys in pro- fusion, was heard.
