NEW PRESTON HILL.
THEY DON'T LIKE IT.

There were no services in our church, last Sunday, for reasons not yet known to the people of our society. No minis ter came,-- found that out after some of us got to the church. We do not ob- ject to the church being closed on Sun days for satisfactory reasons, but some of us do object to driving five or six miles for the purpose of finding no min- ister present and none expected, and pre- fer to have our patience tried in some other way. It is said that ssthe ways of providence are mysterious and past find- ind out" but the ways of our committee seem to be equally as much so. Those of us who live on the Hill do not even know now who is to preach next Sunday or whether anyone will. If silence is golden, then our committee have got that trait to perfection, for they are as silent as tsthe dumb that speak not.'

The monument is an obeliSk, with base and sub-base. It is of Quincy granite, which is said to be the hardest in the world. It weighs 20 tons, and was quarried at a depth of 210 feet. It was wrought at Sexton's marble works in Bridgeport, and polished without the use On the sub-base the name stMallett'' is cut in plain, legible letters. The surface of the base is more elaborately polished and is of darker color than the other parts. On this base the names and birth dates of MT and Mrs Mallett are chiseled, the intervening vacant spaces readily suggesting the purpose for which they are reserved. Under these names and dates are these beautiful words from the prayer book version of the 90th Psalm,

The new moderator of the Presbyte-
rian general assembly, the Rev. Willis
Green Craig, D. D., was elected as the
representative of the conservative ele-
ment of the assembly, but has been free
ly commended for his eminent fairness
by members who did not vote for him.
Like his predecessor in the moderator
ship. Or. w. e. Young, he is native Of
Danville, KY and was educated at Gem
ter college in that town and at Danville
Theological seminary.
DR.. Craig graduated from Center coll

not yet II years of age, and spent seven
years afterward managing large planta~

His first ministerial connection was with
the Westminster Presbyterian church of

posed his removal that his presbytery
refused to release him. The following

The Art of Politeness.

Is politeness quite lost artp Some
times I am obliged to think so. The
other evening at performance Of
"Adonis' a stylishly dressed woman sat
behind young girl whose large hat
somewhat obscured her view Of the per-
formance. A polite request on her part
would doubtless have induced the wearer
of the obnoxious hat to remove it. But
the woman who couldn't see preferred
other methods. So loudly and rudely
she said: II think it is abominable for any
one to wear a big hat like that in the
theater. It oughtn't to be allowed
The wearer Of the hat immediately re-
moved it. Then the woman who couldn't
see leaned forward and said in the most
dulcet of tones: cit was very sweet of
you to remove your hat It quite OBJ
scured the stage from view" But the
sweetness had come little too late, and
: the wearer of the hatreplied quietly but
cuttingly, ut would have been more
amiable of you, madame, had you asked
me to remove my hat instead of making
the disagreeable remark that met my
ears. New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.

hit Smith and Rogers singled. Up came
Burke with his ash. Crack! went the
ball beyond the fielders and couple of

the Dovers two runs ahead. Hayes be
gan the good work with fine single.
Glare tried to sacrifice and sent the ball
over O'Connell's head for single.
Deady's hit was fumbled by O'Copnell
and the bases were full. Smiths timely
bit brought in two men and the score
was tied.
The excitement was feverish in the last
half Of the ninth. The Dovers were one
ahead. the score being to 5.
Burke was first up and it was the Port
lands last chance. sold Reliable hit
to short and disgustedly returned to the
bench. Burns raised the hopes Of the
crowd by lacing the ball to the centre

our great third baseman to second.
Clymer met the ball and Burns covered
the track from second at Salvador pace
and Clymer's heroic hit had tied the
score. Clylner tried for second and
persisted.
The Dovers were blanked in the ninth
and the tenth was begun with Portland

waiting went to first on called balls. Two

Hayes scored. The best Rogers could do

the ball so hard down the field that it
parched the ground. It was single and
Clare came in. In recovering Burke's
hit O'Brien made wild throw into the
crowd and Deadly scored.
