Augusta, June 21.-Hon F. W. Plais-

down by the returns of today's congress

concerned, without any money and prac-

Bank Issues a Denial


Pennington, June 21.-The officials
of the First National bank of this city
have issued a denial to the statement
published to the effect that the bank
here would like $3.50, said to have been
offered for the capture of Albert M. King1
the messenger of the Boylston national
bank of Boston. The general impress.
sion here seems 70 be that the money
should go to Deputy Sheriff Dyer and j.
PIP. Whorff, the actual captors of King.
The Boston bank at the time of the
capture, wired the Deputy Sheriff to re-
tain $500 for expenses and that amount
was deducted from the funds found on
King.

Text of Letter From President IcKinIey
to the Queen-Irish Partyin Parlia-
ment Opposes Address of Congratula-
tion-The Celebration in Other Places
London, June 21.-The Queen is now
in London. The early hours were en-
livened by the pealing of bells and every
where foated the Royal standard.
Queen Victoria left Windsor Castle at
noon, by the sovereign's entrance facing
the long walk, and trayersed part of the
high Thames streets of Windsor on her
way to the railroad station. Her Majesty's
carriage was drawn by a pair of grays
with positions and outriders. The Queen
was accompanied by her eldest daughter,
ex-Empress Frederick of Germany, and
by Princess Christian. For almost the
entire distance the train passed between
scattered groups of loyal people. Every
station of the Great Western between
Windsor and Paddington had been deco
rated. The railway employees everywhere
stood at the salute, while the platforms
were crowded with cheering people.
Paddington was reached at 1856. Here
the immense terminus had been trans.
formed on the ''up side'' into a hall of
resplendent crimson, garlanded with
fringe gold; fragrant with the odors of
countless blossoms, walled on either side
by parterres of people. The state carriages
from Buckingham Palace were at the end
of the covered way. AS soon as the Queen
had taken her seat the Life Guards drew
up in front and rear and a roar of cheers
proclaimed to waiting thousands beyond
that she had arrived. Before starting a
loyal address was presented by the Rev.
Walter Abbott, Vicar of Paddington and
chairman of the Paddington vestry, who
was accompanied by the two members Of
Parliament for Paddington.
The Queen graciously received the ad-
dress presented to her by the Vicar of
Paddington and handed back to him a
written reply expressing qualification at
the generous instincts of her people to-
ward the poor, aged, sick and young
which had produced such remarkable re-
suits.
Over the distance, excepting the portion
of Great Park, every house in the back
ground of the picture was superbly deco
rated. Throughout, the route was tenanted
by an immense assemblage.
The Queen drove slowly to crafty her
people. Her face everywhere loosened the
voice of the multitude. In unrestrained
strength the rich and tumultuous ex-
preston of loyalty and affection broke
forth. Volleys of cheers rose clearly above
the constant roar of acclamation. Hats
were thrown in the air, handkerchiefs
waved in welcome, every one wed with
his neighbor in active demonstration of
loyalty and delight.
Through Burton's gate the Queen
passed on to the garden entrance of Buck
ingnam palace, always between the living
endless homage and salvoes of cheers.

The Arduous Mission of Rev. John

The Arduous Mission of Rev. John

The congregation to which Rev. John

that is presided over by any divine in the

eight or nine men each, scattered along

Sandy Hook. They are the men who be-

the work of saving the souls of the life
savers that the Rev. Mr.. Green has dedi-

One Sunday last September a young
man walked into the Cedar Creek life saw
ing station near Bclmar and said to the
keeper, Captain, I'm Baptist minister,
and I'd like TO hold services here in the sta

The keeper was much astonished, but
asked the young preacher when he wanted
to begin. Right away" was the answer.
1t was in this manner that the Rev. Mr..
Green began his strange pastorate. He was
born not far from Long Branch 33 years
ago, and his father was one of the old
volunteer life savers. BY his own efforts
young Green managed 10 get an education
and fit himself for the ministry. At the
age of 22 he began to do missionary work,

GABRIEL D'ANNUNZIO.
A YOUNG ITALIAN FURNISHES THE
LATEST LITERARY SENSATION.

His Work Is Of the Sort That Shocks the
Normal Reader, but Critics Admire
His Literary style -. His Remarkable
Career.
Italy has furnished us with the most re-
rent literary sensation Not for centuries
has Italy produced an author whose works
have been more than mentioned in Amori-
can literary circles, but now the critics are
vi talking about Gabriel D'Annunzio, a
young Italian, whose recent writings have
been translated into English More than
this, his first novel to be published In the
United States was seized by Anthony
Comstock, who denounced IL as an i'm
moral book and caused the arrest of the
bookseller. Comstock lost his case for
three learned New York judges decided
that the book should not be suppressed.
OF course this did more to advertise the
volume, whose title, by the way, Is 1.-THE

could possibly have done, and now every
one who reads wants to know who this

at very early age. When but 10 years old
and student ut Prato, he printed his first
volume Of poems. Italy has no self ap-
pointed or official censors Of morality, and
wide latitude is allowed to litterateurs
there, but these boyish fanoies were so au.
daciously erotic that the budding poet
barely escaped prosecution. The poems
were entitled "Intermezzo di Rhine" and
in them he sang the pleasures of the flesh
with shamclessness which has only been
equaled perhaps by the frcest poets of the
sixteenth century.
There were true poetry and art in these
verses, however, and as they were followed
by others slightly less sensational his writ
ings began to be received with favor, and
In short time he was widely hailed as G

Present Status of New Hampshire's Forests.


An observant and enthusiastic lady
member of the Pennsylvania Forestry
association has written to the editor a
personal letter, which we give in part
to our readers. 1t shows how the den
udation of the forests of New Hamp-
shire affect one whose yearly visits have
made her familiar with what these for
ests were, while her knowledge of re-
suits which are sure to follow prognos-
iicates the future reckoning:
"The fate Of New Hampshire seems
settled. The forests are mostly gone, all
the good timber cut, or soon will be,
and the mountains are green only with
the young growth of hard wood trees of
inferior quality and no size, unfit for
much use When the lands can again be
sold at their old prices--before the lum-
herman bought them at high figure
for the ready money in their fOrests-the
state can afford to buy them to make
good driving roads and convert the
whole state practically into a summer
resort JudiciOus cutting would have
kept the lumber interest Il source Of rev
enue for all time; but, alas, present
needs are paramount and the forests are
gone The Pcmigewasset, once river,
is now scarcely Il brook, and the smaller
streams and brooks are absolutely dry.

we constantly see the inevitable saw
mill and mourn the destruction Of al
