capt. Sigsbee did not hesitate a mo-
ment. He ordered the helm a-star-
board and the Maine went crashing in
to the dock. Two wharves were car
rled away by the impact. forty cars
were dumped into the East river and
considerable damage was done. But
no lives were lost. and except for the
losing of little paint, the Maine was
unlnjured. Then Capt Sigsbee went
on his way and subsequently was
rompimented by Mr. Roosevelt, assis-
tant secretary OF the navy. for the
manner in which he had acted.

Charles K. Osgood, the Bddeford
volunteer who enlisted in the First
Maine Heavy Artillery now in Geor-
gia, has seen considerable service for
one so young. He is about SO years of
age. He served in the United States
cavalry several years, and was in the
Wounded Knee fight with the Indians,
his tent mate being one of the victims
of that bloody battle. When the
Spanish war broke out Osgood was
working for his father in Biddeford
and he enlisted as a private in Com
pany G, rising during his service to the
rank of sergeant. Civil life seemed so
tame to him when he came home from
Chickamauga that he began to make
plans to get into regular service again.
He jumped at the chance to join the
Maine Heavies." Osgood is a gradu-
ate of the Biddeford high school, class
of 1885. After he left school he did
local newspaper work for a while. then
got mixed up in the Fort Payne boom
and has led a rowing life ever since.

FORMS AND RITUALS
Have Been The Cause u No Progress by Epis-
copal Church In Maine.

Portland. M. Nov. ls.-Rev Or.
Asa Dalton, rector OF st. Stephens
church, and for over 30 years an Epis-
copal clergyman in this city. In SER
mon, today, declared that the Episco-
pal church had made no progress in
Maine in the last 80 years and said the
cause was the devotion Of the Maine
church to forms and ritual. He spoke
of the opposition to Rev. Phillips
Brooks when he was made bishop and
said with a bishop like him, hundreds
would flock to the church. He said the
recent conference in Washington was
the most encouraging ever held as the
laity had shown it's independence Of
the house of bishops in refusing to ap-
prove the change of the name OF the
church or forbidding and divorced per-
sons again marrying.
