pastor of Brown Memorial A. NJ E.Church

DR.. Waters held the attention of the au-
dience TO- more than an hour, his topic be
ing The Bible Description of a Good Hus-
band ard Wife, and How to Get Them"
He opened his address by saying:
The shocking frequency Of divorces,
nine OF which were recently granted in one
day. and the fact of one young man in this
city marrying three reputable young girls
and leaving them all IN two years, shows
a dreadful lack OF regard for the sanctity
of the marriage relation among young col
ored men and women. Everything that can
be done - impress upon the young the sa-
credness OF the marital relations ought to
be done at one"
Or. Waters gave excellent counsel and
made an earnest plea for high standard
or morality, referring at some length to
the causes which lead to divorces. He was

HAWAII TO BE A STATE.

Will Follow Admission.
Senator Morgan and his daughters reach
ed San Francisco from Hawaii yesterday.
In an interview the senator said: Hawaii
is certainly goirg to be q state. But whetl-
it will become one at the time of an
nexation or~later is a question. Should it
be admitted as a territory the commission
will surely recommend sin it's report that
the islands be admitted to statehood, and
special act Of Congress carrying out this
suggestion would undoubtedly follow. There
can be no denying that a state govern
ment would be better, and it will come
sooner or laters'. S-
The senator said that in the islands there
was no opposition to annexation worthy of
attention. He said the opposition was conf
posed of a few royalists only. AS to the
Chinese now in Hawaii. they could not en-
ter the United States, according to the an
neXation treaty. .

ator Morgan, Il look for the laying of

Friends of Spanish Premier Uneasy
Over His Illness.

Over His Illness.
A special cable dispatch from the Madrid
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
says: The continued illness of Premier Sa-
gasta who remains confined to his bed, has
caused much anxiety, as he Is over seven
ty. and it is feared that the burden of the
premiership in these difficult times is too
heavy for him to bear.
Private kilograms from Havana announce
that for the day that Gen. Weyler leaves
a monster demonstration Is prepared in his
honor and against the concession of auton-
omy. Preparations are being made by Gen.
Weyler's agents and by members of the in
transigeant Spanish party.
Gen. Weyler teiegraphed some Gays ago
asking permission to remain in Havana I'M
til October 30, under the pretense that the
steamer which leaves that day Tor Havana
gees to Barcelona, where his family re-
sides. The government granted MIN the
permission asked for, but informed him
that all steamers from Cuba were now
ordered to quarantine at Corunna, on ac-
count of the yellow fever.
Seniors Sagasta and Moret think that
nothing unusual will take place in Havana,
although it is known that Gen. Weyler has
not completely given up his hope of placing
difficulties in the way Of the government.
He recently gave a banquet in honor of the
colonies of the volunteers. with a view to
gaining their support. The idea that Gen.
Wcyler ever thought of bringing about a
revolt in the army or Of aiiying himself
with the Carlists is absolutely ridiculous.
The steamer Alfonso XIII, with Captain
General Blanco his generals and GOO men,
left Corunna at o'clock Tuesday for
Cuba.
Several papers announce that the recall
of Minister Dupuy De LONE is delayed be-
cause he considers his services necessary

images took place around the goal Of the
home team and every one was WORKING
hard for another tally against the visi.
tors when Whipple passed the ball
attempted to pass it right in front of the
Portland goal and the result was another
score against the home players by Camp
BELLS quick work. And so III went on
with the Portland men working hard but
without success until RookIand had
scored nine times and with the prospects
OF more coming. At this point, Nipple,
who had been doing very we'll, was with
drawn because he was hurt and Jean
came out again. His services did not
materially strengthen the play from this
Time out, but Lincoln, Curtis and Nor
ton TOOK decided brace, and for few
minutes put up as swift game as Rock
land wanted to run up against. They
did not have the team work, nor did they
WORK as easily as did the Roekiand men,
but they got two goals In succession and
this was very encouraging to say the
least.
1t was painfully apparent last night
that Portland is weak at two points.
One of these is at goal and the other is at
half back. Farrell is honest anyway and
that certainly is communication, but he
has not had experience enough evidently
to keep cool at exciting moments when
he should show che most GOODNESS. The
other weak spot is at half back. Here a
man like MAYNARD or little Jordan is
wanted, and unless he Is obtained our
chances for the championship are deoid-
eddy forlorn.
Tonight the Augusta team appears here
for the first time this season and will
undoubtedly be greeted by big house.

Thursday.

Belfast, November l1.-Edmund Elliot,
treer in the Belfast shoe factory, shot
Kitty, the wife of Charles Leavitt, just
| after noon today.
| He fired five shots, four of which en-
| tered her body. The woman was not killed
and three doctors are in attendance prob
| ing for the bullets. The motive for the
shooting is not known. II,
Elliot is locked up in jail tonight and
when asked for an explanation of his act
he refused to make any reply beyond
stating that 81 had to do it,
Mrs. Leayitt made a statement this af-
ternoon which will be used against Elliot
in the event of her death. The shooting
occurred in a Cross street lodging house

floor of the house and Elliot occupied a
room adjoining and which is connected

that Elliot was ill this forenoon and that
she carried cup of tea to him. He asked
her to get him some liquor and gave her
3S cents to pay for it. She refused to
get the liquor, but told him she would
go after ginger which she thought would
do him more good than liquor. While
her little daughter was after the ginger
Mrs. Leavitt seated herself in her own
room from where she could look in upon
Elliot. He WAS sitting on the foot of his
bed, and while there saw that he was
handling a revolver. She Immediately
went into his room, secured the weapon
and attempted to escape through an
other door leading into the back part of
the hallway, but the door was locked.
Elliot jumped up and seized her by the
throat and took the revolver from her and
as she ran from the room he fired three
shots at her, the first entering her right
breast, the second missing her and the
third striking her in the back. AS she
reached the foot of the stairs another
shot struck her again in the back. She
rushed ont of doors with her clothing
afire and her assailant followed, rum
ming along the streets waving his empty
revolver and crying Police He en-
