Though the community is now strug-
Cling with "hard times" and the immedi-
ate outlook is not promising. it is not diff
cult to find reasons to hope that the close
of 1894 may find our general condition
greatly improved. Whatever may be the
causes of financial panics and hard times,
they serve one useful purpose, that of rid
ding the business world of bankrupt dis
turbers of legitimate trade and letting out
the water from the stocks Of inflated cor
porations. After the fever of a panic,
when convalescence comes. the business
world is in sounder condition, though per-
haps weak, and is prepared for healthy de-
velopment. The country is, or will soon
be, in that condition. Therefore in
the face of hard times, We can welcome
1894, confident that the new year will not
add to our distress, except, perhaps, tenn
porarily. and that by the end of the twelve
month this great and industrious nation,
having adjusted itself to the new condi-
tions imposed upon it by the liquidation
now in progress and by its own economic
laws, will have started out on a fresl
career of profitable enterprise and advance,

The Plymouth Weekly of Detroit Mich,
contains the following notice of former
member of the First Regiment band, who
was prominent in musical circles in Brat
tleboro few years ago: "Prof. F. T.
Shearer, a cut of whom we are glad to be
able to have this week, has, for the past
two years, filled the position of organist in
our tabernacle. During that time he has
been characterized by his promptness,
faithfulness, and general interest in all
that goes to make this important position
tributary to the general successful issue of
all services. The pastor was on the look
out for year for the right man, and
thinks that now he has found him. Mr.
Shearer enters with his whole soul into
the great peoples service, and adds much to
the spirit of these evangelstic efforts. He
plays with spirit and for the love of it
more than for the dollars and cents. He
fills an important position in Schremser's
band, and is associated with Ling's music
house, and is an all around musician. He
is one of the few expert piano tuners of
the city. May his present relations with
us continue to be as harmonious and pleas
ant in the future as in the past"

Mlss MiIkIns,s Vow NOVEL.

After her years silence the beginning of
a new novel by Miss Mary +. wilkins is i'm
the nature of a literary event, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. The opening chapters of
"Pembroke' in IIarper's Weekly are digni-
fled with a special first-page illustration
and other matters stand back for this story
of New England life, when sanded floors
were still common in country towns; the
time, from the speech of the people, seems
to be early in the present century. There
is a softer light than of today, yet the quaint
long by any means to colonial days. There
is nothing in the first instalment of the
novel to indicate the reason for its title.
"Pembroke," but it is easy to guess that
this must be the name of the village where
the Thayers and the Barnards lived. The
author begins with an easy firmness and a
promise of sustained interest. The JOYS
and sorrows Of the young lovers, Charlotte
and Barnabas. are charming, of course.
The betrothed young man on his way TO
visit his sweetheart stops and goes over the
little unfinished house that is to be his
home and hers in another month, and there
are deicately written paragraphs about
this. The description of the mental atti-
tude of Mrs Barnard (Charlottc's mOther)
towards her own husband is an example of
the sort of half humorous, wholly clear. in
sight which has chiefly made Miss Will
kins's fame. This novel promises to have
a larger movement and possibly a less
gloomy atmosphere than "Jane Field"

Kipling's Christmas visit I'm New York
---IIis short stories in st. Nicholas.

---IIis Short stories in 81. Nicholas.
The New York correspondent of the
Boston Literary World says: "Mr Rud-
yard Kipling stole into town a few days
ago, and since then he has been dsporting
himself in the shops, enjoying the holiday
crowds. Very few people have known of
his presence here, and he is rarely recog-
nized on the street Indeed, one would
hardly expect to find a popular author in
the short, stout, brstling-mustached and
specialized young man who stalks furiously
along, bending his body forward and smok-
ing pipe. If his Whereabouts were
known the interviewers would bear down
upon him in swarms. But he is by no
means a recluse. lie goes about quietly
among his friends, with whom he is iol-
ly good fellow The short stories, by the
way, which he is at present contributing to
st. Nicholas, are winning the highest
praise. Those who have read his earlier
stories for children will not be surprised at
this. Not long ago / was told that one of
the best of these, 'Baa, baa, black sheep
was record of Kipling's own experience;
when a boy he was sent from India to
England to be educated, and there he suf-
fered, as his prosecuted young hero did,
from hOmesickness and general inappreci-
alton"

A Florence item in the Northampton

so ably directed the choir at the Congrega-
tional church for the past six years feels
that he cannot longer continue in this pO-
stion. The prudential committee have ar
ranged with few of the young people to

Indictments Against DIR. j. c. Moore.

Indictments Against Dir. j. &. Moore.
The grand jury at Concord, N. H., has
found four indictments against DIR. j. c.
Moore. One is for swearing to false re-
turns i'm the Peoples Fire Insurance COM
pany, and another for an illegal loan to
himself from the Merrimacll Mortgage and
Debcnture company while its president.
DIR. Moore says that an Indictment does
not prove a man guilty, and that not long
ago, although he was pettioned into in
solvcncy, he proved himself solvent. lie
said he made oath on the condition of the
bank, which after examination by the aud
itor and insurance committee was declared
correct. No loans were made him until
they had met the approval of the directors
and no person pretended that note signed
by him was not good. Since DR.. Moore's
statement two indictments have been found
against him as president and Charles f.
Morrill, as treasurer of the Commonwealth
national bank of Manchester. One charges
each as principal and one charges Morrill,
as principal and Moore as accessory. They
alege abstracting, false entries and embez-
element. Dr. Moore's bail is fixed at So
600, on application of counsel, in the case
against him as principal, and $1,000 in that
in which he is charged with being access

HORRORS OF NAVAL BATTLE.
A British Officer Describes the Carnage
on the Chen-Yuen.

LONDON, Oct. "A British naval
officer attached to the Chinese naval
squadron which was engaged in the
fight off the mouth of the Yalu river
was written a letter to the Graphic in
which he gives additional details of the
fighting, and says:
ION board the war ship Chen Yuen
the fighting was awful. The decksand
the space around the guns were strewn
with human fragments. Three of five
men working a four ton gun were blown
up by shell from the Japanese war
ship Naniwa. The fourth gunner was
shot while trying to escape from the
turret and the fifth stuck to his post.
"'This man fired three rounds at the
Naniwa, one shell entering the engine
room of the Japanese ship and another
smashing her forebridge. The NaniWa
then hauled off. The Chinese Admiral
rewarded the surviving gunner with a
present of 1000 taels.
ga shell glanced from the steel deck
of the Chen-Yuen and went through
the tower, shattering everything there
of speaking through the tube leading
to the engine-room, was blown into
atoms, and his head was left hanging
to the speaking pipes. Huge fragments
of armOr and the teak backing thereof
were carried inboard by the shot,
crushing a number of sailors into a
shapeless mass.
"a European engineer who was in
the act Of cropping about in an endeavor
to repair a steam pipe was drenched
from head to foot with the blood Of an
assistant who was disemboweled by his
side by a ehot from the enemy's ship.
THE Chen Yuen arrived at Wei-Hai-
Wei the day after the fight in the same
condition in which she left the battle.
No attempt had been made to wash the
blood from her or oremove the corpses
which streWed her decks"
The writer expresses the opinion that
if the European rulers could have seen
the decks of the Chen Yuen they would
have foresWorn war henceforth and
forever,
