KANSAS.-Bereavemen at Seneca
"A great sorrow has come upon our
we'll known brother. Judge Abijah
Wells. and his family and great loss to
the Universalist church, in the death of
his daughter Elsie, who died after a
brief illness. September 4th. This young
lady was foremost in all good work in
the Seneca parish and very prominent
member and officer OF the Kansas Y. P.
G. U. Convention. There is great sor.
row in Seneca over this bereavement:
The pastor, Rev. l.. p. Jones writes:
1--WE all agree here that MISS Elsie has
been one of our most prominent, most
loving and lovable, most faithful among
our young people and very exception
able when put in comparison with the
young people we have met in other
places or other churches" Another
daughter of Judge Wells lies very low
with the same fever that carried off so
suddenly the beloved young woman.
The local paper pays beautiful tri.
butte TO the departed, saying among
other things probably no young woman
of this community was so we'll known
and SO much loved as Elsie." and con
tinues:
''In the public school she had charge of
an intermediate grade and gave her chill
dren such beautiful sample Of loving
service that she taught them right doing
as well as right learning. Incidents of
her interest and kindness toward her
children are flesh in the memories of more
than one Seneca home. In the church
her interest and labors were constant.
She helped organize the Junior Union and
worked with the little folks continually
to help them fulfill the Gospel commands.
She was Superintendent of fine Juniors
when taken from us. She was with the

mented very feelingly thereon.
The writer read the following words
of Whittier which seemed applicable
to the life of our lamented brother.
s'Knowing his deeds of love, men ques-
toned not
The faith of one whose walk and word
were right
Who TRANQUILITY in Life's great task-field
wrought,
And, side by side with evil, scarcely
caught
stain upon his pilgrim garb of white.
Such was our friend. Formed on the
good old plan,
A true and brave and downright honest
man!
He blew no trumpet in the market-place,
Nor in the church with hypocrite face
Supplied with cant the lack of Christian
grace;
Loathing pretence, he did with cheerful
will
What others talked of while their hands
were still;
And, while Lord, Lord! ~ the pious ty-
rants cried,
Who, in the poor, their Master crucitied,
His daily prayer, far better understood
In acts than words, was simply doing
good.
So calm, so constant, was his rectitude,
That by his loss alone we know its worth,
And feel how true a man has walked
with us on earth. y

ihursday and urged the establishment of
two lobster hatcheries in Hancock county.
MS committee later took up the matter of
close time on clans, but no one appeared
for it and Councillor Spofford appeared
against it, Both the matters were tabled.
nat resolve appropriating $15 900 wear in
the interests OF seashore fisheries that was
tabled IN the House, still lies there unsigned.
The 81 hour law for women and children
was given hearing by the labor committee.
Thursday afternoon and evening, and drew
host OF labor workers and leading manu-
1acturers from all over the State. Both sides
were very much in earnest and the hearing
was very ably conducted. The petitioners
claimed that women and children are unable
to work 10 hours day, in Justice to their
work and retain their health Those oppos-
ing the bill claim that fewer hours would re-
duce wages and injure both the employer
and employe. Maine manufacturers have
now all they can contend with without an
other handicap in these hard time 4s. The
hearing was in the hall of the House in the
afternoon and in the Senate Cham ber in the
evening and both We're filed. The closing
arguments continued to d late hour. 1T is
generally thought that no 54-hour law can
pass the legislature.

so that it shall take effect when the people
of the island so vote.

about the State capitol. There was long
session of the Legislatu in the forenoon
and several important committee hearings
this afternoon, to say nothing of the Cover
nors reception. The snow storm in the
early portion of the day rather interferred
with the attendance at the reception, but
there was large crowd Notwithstanding
the adverse weather conditions.
In the House the feature of the session
was hot debate on motion Mr.. Walton of
Skowhegan, to indefinitely postpone the
resolve for 100000 for the Eastern Maine
Insane Hospital. Long and able speeches
We're made for the motion by Walton, Pat
