NJ. E. Church Discipline.

At the General Conference Of the NJ. f.
church in Cleveland, o., May 20th, reso-
luton was unanimously adopted that the
sale of liquors in the National capitol was
national disgrace, and asking in the
name of ten million people that congress
abolish the practice. The committee on
state of the church drew the conference
into exciting discussion by recommend
ing that the part of the discipline relating
to specific amusements be not changed.
Under the present law, persons indulg-
ing in intoxicating liquors as a beverage,
renting property or becoming bondsmen
for liquor dealers, dancing, playing at
games of chance, attending theatres,
horse races, circuses and indulging in
many other popular amusements, shall be
expelled from the church, unless the Of
fender exhibit real humiliation. After a
long discussion the conference by an al
most unanimous vote, refused to change
the subject of amusements.

Steam Pleasure Craft.

The handsome steel yacht Illawarra on
her first trial run last week proved a
speedy craft. The run from the Bath
Iron Works wharf down the kennebec
river and to sea, and thence to Boothbay,
was covered in quick time, the boat max
ing an average speed of a little more than
IA miles an hour, exceeding the required
speed more than one knot, which is a
triumph for the builders in the Bath Iron
Works.
The greatest steam yacht ever built in
the United States, and the second largest
yacht enrolled in the New York yacht club
fleet, was successfully launched at the
Erie Basin last week, when NJ. C. D. Bor-
denis new boat, the Sovereign, took her
maiden plunge. The Sovereign, which
was designed by j. Beavor Webb Of New
York, who was responsible for the ex-cur
challenger Galatea, the Sultan, Corsail
and hosts of other we'll known boats, is
Psi feet 6 inches over all, and is only ex-
ceeded in size by w. X Nanderbilt's ) Va
liant, which was built abroad.

The Pay OF Authors,
FANNIE B. WARD

| Many have looked back to the days
when Scott and Moore and George Eliot
| gained great sums from their writings.
partly through royal patronage, as the
golden days of literature Macaulay s
famous check for $40, 900 was the high
water mark of modern success in liter
ature, but the prices paid to authors TO-
| day who have interested the public and
won large fame are on the whole greater
>than were paid in earlier DAYS. The field
| Tor the sale of their books is larger. and
publishers can afford to do better by them.
Du Maurier received for ''Trilby'' from
the Harpers what he asked, SO. 600, but
as an act of pure justice they sent him
$40, 900 more, and he has received in all
by the sale Of that work about 500, 600
Mrs. Humphry Ward is said to have re-
celved for the serial publication of ''Sir
George Tressady' SIS. 000 and will prob
ably obtain as much more when the story
is published. When the Century Company
paid $50, 900 for the ''Life of Lincoln it
was thought to be tremendous price,
but the publishers rose to the demand.
and it was one of the best things the Cen
tury ever did. Lord Tennyson and Mr..
Gladstone have commanded a dollar
word for their writings, but this was on
account OF their fame as much as for their
contributions. Mr. Stevenson made large
sums by his latest serials, and was still
| Tpenlng for larger successes when he
passed away. Mr.. Whittier once got $500
for two sonnets, and Mr.. Rudyard Kip
ling often gets $50 for a single poem.
These are great prices, but they imply
fame as well as worth.
The magazines of day are prepared
to pay to authors who have caught the
! the public ear larger prices than ever be-
/ fore. Perhaps the short story is more in
| demand than anything else, and brings a
larger price. The magazines get the best
things that are going, and are able to pay
good price for them. They never pay
| less than from s. to SO for thousand
words, and they oftener pay from S15 to
so when a writer is well known. The
prices vary greatly, and that manuscript
is paid for best which earns the most
money. The competition between mag
azines is so great that no editor can
afford to let really good thing go Guy Of
! his hands. In this competition between
| publishers for the best things that are
offered the writer's Of to-day are continu-
ally advancing their prices, and while
! thousands write for the waste basket an
/ increasing number are well paid for their
work and have all they can do. The syn
/ dicates have done much to bring forward
new persons and exploit them, but the
| best writer's of the day are outside. Slow
! ly but surely the profession OF letters is
| gaining ground in this country. Boston

once year. Eight new lodges have been
instituted during the past year. Grand

demonstrated that India iute can be

The purposes for which fibre is used are
rapidly multiplying. Besides the coarse
fabrlcs already mentioned, it is made into
various fancy goods, such as portieres,
curtains, room -hangings, furniture lin

dying the brilliant colors and beautiful
finish of silk are impaired to it, so that
some hemp fabrics vie with the choicest

Song of Rain.
IN THE CITY

IN THE CITY.
A shadow creeps to the sun that seems
Like soul with a guilty stain;
silver drop on the pavement CLEANS
Thank God for the rain, the rain!
The bu rning dust of the blazing street
Is dimpled; from DER the plain
The cool wind comes with a kiss that 8
sweet,
And riots along the rain,
The gamins whistle, the teamsters bare
Their brows for a moments space;
From sweltering easements the children
stare
At the drops in the rainy race.
And the heart of the city beats for Joy
And the sick forget their pain;
And one looks down on a barefoot boy,
And longs for his youth again
RAIN IN THE COUNTRY.
The broad fields burn in the MONDAY sun,
And the lily looks forlorn;
And the freshness fades from the dusty
blades
OF the Waveless, MINDLESS corn.
The cattle, with never a clank of bells
Lie still by the shadowed stream
The birds are mute in the drowsy dels,
When sudden the iightnings gleam!
Far Off on the horizons $ misty marge,
And up from the south there comes
Cloud on cloud in a battle charge,
And the thunder rolls its drums
And the corn grows glad and its silks are
tossed,
And the lily drinks the drops
That the warning clouds in their anger lost
Life! life to the thirsty crops
And one looks out from a cabin door
And there TO a woman speaks:
NV ell hay e harvest that's fine m sure,
Eff 1t jest don't rain six weeks''

Alas of the number one green mound

He sleeps-a plain headstone the lovely spot

With the mournfll, black lettered. "ITn-

OH Silent Grand Army, though scattered
so widely
the dead,-
Your deeds still live on, and will not be for
gotten,
While our glorious banner shall float over
head;
Red as the blood you spilled to defend it,
White as your faces when laid meath the
sod,
Blue as the dome of the heaven you entered,
When your sorely tried spirits returned to
their God.
The years are fast flying o! Silent Grand
Army,
Not long ere the last who is living to-day
VIII be Graded so gently in Mother Earth's

And the living Grand Army have all pass

glass. The condition of all the body is
written in the face.
Thousands of women are dragging out
a weary, miserable existence, because
they do not fully realize what is the
matter with them. They know that they
have "fe1nale weakness T" but thev do
not really appreciate what that means.
They do not know that to this one
trouble is traceable almost all of their
bodily ills. They consider it a disease
BY itself and if they have also neuralgia,
nervous headaches, biliousness, kidney
troubles and other things, they see no
connection between them and the de-
range1nents of strictly feminine nature.
Busy and overworked physicians often
treat these things as separate ailments,
when the whole trouble has the one
source. The reproductive organs are so
important a part of the body that when
they are out of order, the whole system
is deranged Whatever illness wo-
man has, she will do we'll to look there
for the cause.
4 great many women knowingly neg
lect themselves, because they dread the
telling Of their troubles to physician
and the subsequent examination and
local treatment" All this is needless

restore lost strength and promote regu-
larity of functional action.

to enjoy themselves immensely.
Mr.. Vim Brant has returned from
Penn. His little daughter Grace
remains there with an aunt.
There will be a temperance meet

president of the League, so come out
and help the good cause along.
David Watkins has purchased Mr..
McGlincy's place in Highmore, and
will soon rem owe there. Sorry to
have Mr.. and Mrs. w. leave us.
At the annual meeting of the La

reelected. Mrs. Camp was elected
secretary in place of Fannie Kellogg,
removed. Though few in numbers
and "hard times" the cry, this soci-
ETY. has raised ifty-eight dollars the

honor is DUE" the gentlemen have
very cheerfully helped with their

Some of our conservative citi-
zens said Miller could not raise
enough to build a court house. But
she did, and forever ended the coun-
ty seat question, Other "~conserva-
tive" citizens, said we could never
get a second well, after the town had
been so heavily bonded. However,
a way was found, and the strangers
who come into our gate inyaribly
say: "What n great thing that well
is for the town."
Some of our citizens may say
we cannot build and operate a cream
cry, but they are mistaken. Oi
course the fellows who cant" do
anything in this world, meyer do
anything. But the citizens OF Miller
are not built that way. Miller can
haye a creamery as well as other
