Turn to your Bible and read in chan
ter End, of PauPs Letter to the Ephesi-
ans from the fourth to ninth verse in
elusive. The passage is too long to
copy here. Read carefully. You will
md 1t to contain a little Gospel, set
ting forth in fullness and completeness
the great and merciful redemptive
scheme of salvation from God by and
through Jesus Christ the Lord. IT is
all compact of ruth. and is indeed q
most marvellous statement of the love
ana mercy of God. Like so much of
Pauls writings it is rich in expression
and cumulative in doctrine. Unlike
some other passages by MIN it is NOT
difficult to catch the meaning of it. 1t
VIII be remembered that the Apostle
Peter said of brother Paul hat he
wrote some things hard to he under
stood and that are difficult to be un-
d~erstanded Of the people to this hour.

A London paper gives prominent place
to a private telegram from Paris, de-
claring that the Powers have accepted a
proposal made by the Sultan that King
George of Greece, shall occupy and adj
minister the government Of Crete, Tur-
key reseryng her imperial rights in the
island. The proposal provides that
King George shall nominate high com
missioner for the island. Another Lon
don paper makes similar announcement
but under reserve 1t is stated that the
King of Greece will nominate his sou
Prince George, high commissioner. 1t
is understood the matter was discussed
at the cabinet meeting Tuesday. This
statement Is liable TO be discredited to-
morrow. There is conflict of statement
in the Cretan situation, but the blockade
of the parts of the island by the great
powers seemed to be certainty.
The trouble Ia Pittsfield relative to the
punishment of boy named Humphrey
by Mr.. Bailey, teacher OF one of the
village schools, has created much inter
est there. The school committee gave
hearing aud each side was represented
by a lawyer. The committee were
equally divided on the proposition to re
move the teacher. The seventh member
Of the school board, who lives outside of
the village, was not notified of the hear
ing and was not present. The parents
who have children ia the school are said
to be largely in favor of allowing Mr..
Bailey to serve out his term as teacher.
The people have been sharply divided on
the question but the excitement has sub
sided and 1t is hoped the matter may be
satisfactorily settled.

Death of Prominent Men.

Among the deaths of prominent men in
Maine of late we notice those of James
M. Hagar of Richmond, aged IS years,
Hon. Jeremiah NJ. Mason of Limerick,
" years old, Major Z. NJ Fogler of
Augusta, IS years Of age.
Mr.. Hagar was prominent business
man of Richmond, and has had his in
fuence upon that thriving town.
Mr.. Mason was self made man who
started in business as a tailor when a
young man, with pair of shears and ten
dollars. aud when he died was president
of National bank and worth half mil
lion dollars. He had been member of
the Legislature and of the Executive
Council when Nelson Dingley, Jr., was
governor.
2. NJ. Fogler was captain in the 10th
Maine Vols and brevet major, was pri-
vate secretary of Governor Chamberlain
in 1868 to 1870, register of deeds in Ken
nebec County for several terms and of
late had been in the insurance business.

disability brought on by sun stroke re-
ceived in the army and his death re-
suited from an accident by which he was
severely burned, about three weeks ago
He was worthy, public spirited man
of ability and great energy.
1t will be seen in our court report that
a large number of indictments for viola
ton of the law against the sale of intoXi-
eating liquors was reported on Tuesday
last, larger, we believe, than was ever
before reported in our county at one
term of court. The names Of the parties
have not been made public, but the list
is understood to embrace hotel keep
ers and druggists generally who have
United States licenses covering the
sale of spirituous liquors, as we'll as sa-
loon keepers and proprietors of liquor
nuisances. While there may be exeep-
tional cases, as a general rule, these In
dictments were not without ample cause.
There has been little in the way Of hin
drance to the sale of Intoxicating liquors
in Somerset county for three fourths of
a year, and it was indeed high time that
active measures were taken to enforce
the provisions of law. As we under
stand the law, it is the duty of the
sheriff to enforce the law by search and
seizure process or by bringing the cases
to the attention of the grand jury, with
witnesses and evidence. He has, appar
emily, this time pursued the latter course
with good effect, and with the earnest
and vigorous concurrence of County At
torney Small, has secured results that
ought to 60 far toward creating healthy
regard for law and toward the suppress
sion of the sale Intoxicating liquors in our
county. Could this be followed up in
the different towns by municipal officers,
as the law clearly provides, adequate en-
forcement of the prohibitory law in
Somerset county would be assured.
