audience and local talent furnished the
music. Very good talent it was too. Tho
Newport mixed quartette sang several
war songs and Miss Agnes Stafford OF
Skowhegan and Miss Josie Farnham of
Dover, were the vocal soloists. That ever
popular instrument, the banjo, also did
its part, being played by Miss Gertrude
Boynton and Mr.. Bigeiow of Dover.
Miss Blethen of Dover and Miss Young
of Newport were the accompanies.
The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. Millett, who introduced Mrs Mason
as the presiding officer of the day. At
ter the prayer by Department Chaplain
Webster, Mrs. Mason told how the Maine
veterans home had been made a success

OF great usefulness
Mrs. E. Florence Barker, who was the
next speaker was introduced by Mrs.
Mason as woman who married her
sweetheart in war days and went to the
front with him to spend her
HONEYMOON IN A TENT.
Mrs. Barker's references to this chap
ter of her life proved very amusing. She
said: "Mysswar record is good ono for
I enlisted with the first captain who
asked me. However, Corporal Tanner,
with all his influence with the pension
department., could not get me pension
because I have never been discharged.
Mrs. Barker lived in tent at the
front until, as she said. President Lin
coin issued his order s4horses and wom-
en- in the rear She had only five min
utes in which to pack her belongings and
she had good many, for the boys had
seen to it that the Colonel's wife should
have everything to adorn the tent that
soldiers ingenuity could devise.
Mrs. Barker told how easily the money
for the Massachusetts home at Powder
House Hill was raised and how success
ful the home was, Notwithstanding re-
ports to the contrary circulated in Maine
If the Massachusetts home was a failure,
she advised Maine people to make their

Shanghai, August 22.-The situation in
Pekin at the present moment is absolute
" without parallel, and one cannot see
in 1t a single gleam Of hope for any in
terests but those of Russia and France.
Count Cassini is virtually master OF the
situation, and no move of the slightest
importance is made by the Chinese Min
listers without first obtaining the sanction
of the representative Of the Gar. AS 1or
the American or British ministers, who
were formerly listened to with respect,
even if their advice, circumstances OF
threats were absolutely fruitless, they
have been relegated to position OF abso-
lutte inconsequence in the realms OF Pekln
diplomacy.
This is undoubtedly CALLING to the pride
of the two great nations, who, up to a
few months ago. played the most promi-
nent part and exercised the greatest influ-
ence upon the conduct of affairs in China.
But 1t is true, The Chinese have dis
covered in Count Cassini, a minister who
will not be turned off with those sort
phrases which are sufficient to befool al
N ost all his colleagues
Besides, the Russian minister eis sup
ported BY his government, which cannot
be said In the case of his American and
British colleagues. The position of the
British minister is little short Of intoler-
able. Sir Nicholas forwards the strongest
possible dispatches upon the position of
his naturals in China to Downing street,
but his instructions under the tory gov
ernment are quite as unsatisfactory, nay.
as disastrous, as under their Liberal
predecessor's in office. 1T was Lord Sails
bury's government which first set the
evil example of allowing the massacre Of
British residents and the destruction of
British property in China to pass almost
unnoticed in 1891,

Saco. August 29-The crowds at the
York County fair got their money S
worth of horse racing again today, two OF
the three events going in split heats, and
the last mile being trotted just before
darkness shut in.
Green horses had their innings in the
class and PAGERS that had never beaten
a45. The first heat was pulled off by
Homer L.. a black gelding that formerly
belonged in Maine, but is now owned by
A. w. Jose of Brighton, Mass, who
bought him for a family driver, with no
thought of his speed and no care for his
pedigree. Last fall he went on to the
race track for the first time at Gray and
won the second largest slice of the purse,
but got no mark Today he got mark
of 937A.

MIGHT BE AN AUToMAToN.

For all the good the British minister
now in Pekin does his duties might be
effectually discharged by a phonograph
or an automaton figure. British repre-
sentation in Pekin has sunk almost to
the level OF farce, and the American is
little if any better, though America,
owing to her position v1s-a-v1S Japan and
China in the recent war and subsequent
negotiations occupied place where she
might have secured an influence sufficient
to command China for years to come
had she been represented at Pekin by a
minister of the ability and energy of
Count Cassini or Mr.. Gerard, either of
whom would have had China under his
heel had he been the representative OF the
great Republic.
But Colonel DENLY, personally the most
irreproachable of representatives, has,
among the Chinese, forgotten how to
deal with them, and neither the British
nor the American governments has as
yet commenced to learn how, vile,
treacherous and lying is that jelly fish
organization miscalled the Chinese gov
ernment.
The Asiatic Department of ST. Peters
burg, understands it's neighbors more nor
thoroughly. The Japanese and the
Russians are the only foreign powers who
know how simple it is to walk through
the loud, Dragging and apparently in
vincible battalions of China, either on
the field or in the yamens of the capital.

any damage otherwise suffered, would be in any manner different from those appellees would have should appellants be required to deliver the proper quan- tity back into the channel of the river. We are of the opinion that the appel lants were exercising an absolute right in the use of the water, of course, sub ject to any penalty they may incur by the use of such right.
 We therefore do not think this is a case for an injunction, but that the ap- pellees have ample modes of redress at law for any damages which may be oc- casioned by any improper action of ap- pellants in the use of the water or in delivering it back to appellees.
 The judgment of the lower court is reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial.
