A FAST FREIGHT.
Run From Chicago to Portland 60 Hours

The quickest run ever made by Ia
freight train between Chicago and Port
land was finished Saturday morning at
z. 80 O'Clock. This trip of over 1900 miles
was made in % hours 30 minutes, actual
running time.
The steamship Corona Ut the Thomson
line was scheduled to sail Sunday morn
ing and the $40 cattle she was to carry
across the pond for the beef eating Eng
lishmen had not started from Chicago on
Wednesday. OF course the steamship
people were greatly annoyed at this de-
lay in the shipment of their cattle and
were afraid the Corona would be obliged
to wait for them until Monday.
But the Grand Trunk officials wired
the cattle shippers to rush the stock
along and at 7.l5 O'Clock in the evening
of February 18th the run began. AT
Lynn, Canada, the cattle were taken out
of the cars and given i've hours rest.
This stop is not included in the time
given above, but all of the other stops
and delays en- route are counted in it.
At 7.3O o'clock Saturday morning DR..
Huntington, the U. S. cattle inspector of
this port, received the cattle at the East
DeerinR stock yards and they were all in
excellent condition. The steamship peo-
pie were delighted with the quick time
that was made by this train and shipped
their cattle Saturday night. The Corona
went to sea Sunday morning at five
O'Clock,

NOT NOISE ENOUGH POSSIBLY.
Mr.. AlOnzo Libby's Ideas About Sale
of Diseased Beef.

Thinks There Is Too Much Talk In tine
Newspapers and Knows of Man VINO
Has Been Selling 1t For Years in Port
land.
Alonzo Libby, esq.,, of Westbrook, VINO
was in Auburn on Friday attending a
meeting of the Maine State Fair trustees
says the Lewiston Journal, said that he
thought altogether too much noise hao
been made relative to the finding OF
tuberculosis in Maine cattle. II think
said Mr.. Libby, 1.-The desired result
might have been obtained just as well
without so much ado in the newspapers.
It has hurt the cattle raising business IN
this State and the dairy and milk inter-
ests as well. In my opinion there is no
call for all this buster. am in for get
ting rid of all diseased cattle, but there
is way to do and way not to 40. 1
believe that the Maine cattle commits
sioners should have some money and
look after the thing. believe that every
creature should be tested at least once
year. Every milk consumer should IN
sist that the men who furnish them milk
have their COWS tested once year.
believe if some such plan is followed that
we shall be able to drive the tuberculosis
out, and when we once get rid OF if, it
will be comparatively easy keeping clear
of it. But it is matter that must be
looked after. The test is a simple mat
ter and can be made at small expence.
AS for the Portland people who have
eaten the beef from my cattle, condem-
ed by the Maine Cattle Commissioners,
do not expect to see any great amount
of sickness following it. do not wish
to be understood as backing up the man
who marketed the beef from the, con-
demned cattle. But butcher who has
been in business for years, Portland
being the market, tells me that he has
been selling beef from cattle as badly off
as mine for years. l don't think the
disease was developed enough to hurt
any one. Possibly some of the cattle
might have got entirely over the trouble
if we had allowed them to live. But the
only safe way is to make careful test
and then get rid Of the cattle which are
found to be affected. I want to see the
good work go on, but 1 hope in the
future it will be done without SO much
advertising,

The Courts Finding on the StrandIng OF
the Brooklyn.

Inc COurLS finQlnS on the SUraHuiuS Ol
the Brooklyn.
Washington, February 20.-The court
of inquiry appointed to investigate the
circumstances under which the cruiser
Brooklyn recently ran aground in the
Delaware river, has submitted to the
navy department report that completely
exonerates all the officers concerned
After summing up the evidence in the
case the court finds that the grounding
of the United States ship Brooklyn on
the date and at the place mentioned in
the preoept was not in any respect due
to faults or negligence on the part of any
of the officers OF crew but that on the
contrary the commanding officer WAS
fally justified in proceeding down the
river at that time. The finding has been
and the matter is ended.

God would save the Union. He saw how
the Scripture show mans faith In over
ruling power. He read their ccndemna-
ton of wickedness, of apostacy, of
towards. He heard the voice Of God
summoning him to courage and patri-
otism and persistence. In Cuba, today
In Armenia, In Crete, in Greece, men
may well ask, "Has God forgotten us'
Will Tyranny always prevail?' They
need a summons to courage, to patri-
otism, to persistence. The message OF
Daniel can give them new heart for
effort The voice of Gods preacher may
say: o, Russia. what art thou doing
o. Germany, what..art thou doing? .,
England, what doest thou? Shall the
assassin of Constantinople be permitted
to sIayp Shall the soldiers of Spain con-
tinue to kill in Cuba? Has America
not yet reached the hour when she should
interviewer Shall Crete and Greece be
sacrificed to Europe's selfshness? The
preacher sees that he who reads OF short
periods does not see Gods overruling.
He who knows the whole record OF His
tory sees that God does finally do Ills
will among the Inhabitants of the earth.
And that is the message OF the Book OF
Daniel.
The fourth sermon will be on 1.-THE
Book of job" and will be delivered on
Sunday morning, March 9TH.
