himself to the opinion that the latter
element gained anything by the COM

father of his weak family. One hot

vast, In Making Hey.

The loss of hay in this country from
a failure on the part of farmers to re-
sort to the use of proper implements is
annually very large. Hay is crop that
must be moved, cured and stored under
many disadvantages and cftcn in very
short period Of time. Such work cannot
always be done unless every appliance
necessary for harvesting the crop is
available. On farms where large crops
are grown the mover, tedder and rake
add to the value of the hay By assisting
to cure it in manner to preserve the
whole of its nutritious matter. Properly
cured hay is not found en- ali farms.

OVER A LOVE AFFAIR.
The Deacon Received His In.
structions and Plunged
Into a Fight.

GreenyilIe, Texas, Sept. L.
At Shady Grove church, six
miles from here, just at the
close Of the morning service, a
fight was begun in the church
by two men, which soon be-
came general. The fight or.
iIinated over a love affair in
which the young man was try
ing to marry the pretty young
lady. The minister had ordain-
ed a deacon and given him his
instructions, and five MINUTES
later the deacon was in the
thick OF the fight. Ten or fif-
teen men were fighting, women
screaming, dogs barking, ard
the preacher commanding the
crowd to keep the peace in the
name CT the most high God"
As a result, the young lady's
father says that if the young
man can beat him and get the
girl he can have her, which is
pretty nearly the same as Civ
ing consent.

INDIANAPOLIS RESULTS.

ZNDIANAPOLLS RESULTS.
The much talked of conven-
ton OF gold standard men has
met resoluted and nominated
candidates for president and
vice-president. The letter that
was expected from President
Cleveland doesn't seem to have
arrived. David Bennett Hill
was not there. The meager
synopsis We have of the plat
form is about what almost any
one could have outlined before
hand. The boilers went to In
dianapolis for the purpose OF
declaring themselves in oppos-
ition to the Chicago platform
and to cook up some scheme to
defeat Bryan and Sewall. The
first they did. 1t was easy. The
last is marked by very poor
progress. II is not likely that
two such men as John M. 81
mer and Simon Bolivar Buck er
will be able to bury Bryan and
Eewall under an avalanche of
votes. Palmer is an old time
republican. Only in late years
las he been a democrat. He is
now so near the lines of his old
party that one step, and that a
short one, would land him at
home again. He is an eccentric
old gentleman, but no one need
be alarmed at that. He will
never have a chance to expert
ment on the people of this Uour :
Sry from the White House.
Gen. Buckner is, in most re-
spects, the ADLER man of the
two. He is not noted as either
a politician or a statesman, but
Is a fine Kentucky gentleman.
The Bluegrass of his splendid
etate will grow to be ten feet
high before he is vice-president.
There is not much chance of
his carrying Kentucky.
The campaign will be a hot
one toward its close; that is
between the democrats and re
publicans, but the nominees of
the Indianapolis convention
will be scarcely in it.

IFITz HUGH LEE
WAS INSULTED.
Conservatives Demand Wey,
ler's Recall.

Consul General Lee at Ha-
vana is indignant over an in
suit offered him by the Span
iards is the advice received on
the steamer Mascotte. 1t seems
that a notice has been ported
at the entrance of Cabanas
fortress ordering the arrest and
detention of Consul Lee if he
presents himself and demands
admission to see the Americans
confined in the prison. It is
said Consul Lee has written a
strong protest to Weyler, in
which the immediate removal
of the notice is demanded.
Consul Lee has also demanded
that Weyler make a full in
vestigation ofthe recent murder
of Charles GOWN, an American
citizen, by Spaniards under
General Ochoa.
Advices received from Ha-
vana last night per steamship
Mascotte state that a plot has
been formed for the purpose of
driving Weyler from the is.
land. The conspirators are
members or the conservative
party, who have become di
gusted with the brutalilies
practiced by the captain gen
eral.
Friday night the leaders of
the conservatives held a meet
ing aud arranged their plans.
They decided TO ask the Madrid
government to recall Weyler
immediately, and if tue demand
is refused they propose to for
chilly expel the captain general.
There is a precedent for such
action in the forcible expulsion
Of General Dulce in the last
war. The conspirators count
on the aid of the Spanish vol
unleers OF Havana to carry out
this programme.
The volunteers are bitterly
hostile to Weyler, and would
be glad to aid in eXpelling him.
1t is said that after Weyler is
expelled the conservative lead
ers will open negotiations with
the insurgents for peace on
basis of autonomy for the is
land. If Spain is not willing
TO end Nthe war on these terms
il is said that the conservatives
will join the insurgents and
declare the island independent.
The conservative leaders
claim that the only hope for
Cuba is in getting rid of Wey
Ter. They say that the captain
generals policy fast is making
a desert of the island.

Obituary.
of valor.

Rev. w. w. Ogier, Presiding Elder, writes
as follows, to lions Herald, regarding Rev,
Hugh Ross Merrithew, who was born in
Searsport March 4, 1867, and d ed in Friend
ship April %, 1896
His early life was spent in the public
schools and on shipboard and later in Bos-
ton and New York. AS he often expressed
it, Life was rather an aimless affair." like
that of many young men. But in November,
1892, this "aimess' young man was convert
ed at service in fremont St. M. E. Church.
Boston, and from that day great purpose
possessed his.soul, and his fine natural abil-
tiles were all in line for righteousness He
Immediately began course of study at
kent's Hill, but such was his zeal to preach
the Gospel that the following summer he
was appointed to Windsor, where he re-
manned until the spring of '95. April %.
1895, he married Maud |. Fletcher, of China,
Me-, who proved an efficient helper in his
CHOSEN work. In the following Nav he was
appointed to Friendship and South Waldo
boro, where splendid years work was
done. Seized with pneumonia few weeks
before Conference. he survived his re-ap-
pointment but two days. Easily taking fl st
rank in a fine class, he was held in high es-
TEEN by the East Maine Conference as a
young man of great promise. He would have
been admitted to full connection at its last
session but for his illness.
There seemed to be no weak spot in his
administration; all departments of work
were well cared for; he was an all-round
man that could be trusted anywhere. Gen
eral sorrow pervades the community where
he ministered. He seemed to realize that
his end was near, but said little. His last
chapter was John II, when he repeated,
'And this is life eternal, that they might
know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom Thou hast SENT
His mother, a brother and sister, and his
wife, to whom he had been married but one
short year, are left to mourn their great loss.
The funeral services were held at the Meth
odist church in Friendship, April %, con-
