We can well believe that for once
a Spaniard told the truth when a
member of the Ministry said that
Spain had not belieYed that the u.
S. would go to war, until the ultima
tum was actually sent. Spain has
been acting on that belief for some
years, but neither it, nor any other
country, is likely to do so again for
some time.

It really seems pity to be thrash
iug country that is as bad off at
home as Spain is, but this country
has had enough of allowing change
OF Ministry at Madrid to influence
American policy; and it will not oc-
cur a second time. The business in
hand is to lick Spain, regardless of
who composes the government of
that country, and the good work
in that line by Dewey in the Pacific
is an incentive to pushing the same
sort of work in the Atlantic.

told Woodford that the ultimatum
was sent in English to give the
Spanish government an opportunity
to do that very thing.

One nan of tne First Illinois visited .he Rough Riders camp and offered $ for seven Lard tacks. TWO hundred men of the regiment came to the Rough Riders camp and ate there. The Rough Riders had enough to eat but It was by their individual efforts and in. , dividual expenses. There was great scarcity of all medical supplies at the front except quinine and caomel, and great lack of surgeons and hospital stewards.
 In reference to Camp Wikoff Colonel Roosevelt said there was great confusion for the first few days after the arrival of the troops.
 During these days" he continued, q do not think our men were treated as well they should have been. After that there was nothing that I could find fault with.
 Why was there scarcity of medical supplies in Cuba?' asked Dr. Conner. "I do not know. There were plenty on the ships. There was a lamentable need of ambulances. I think we could have done better with fewer men and more transpor tation."
 Have you anything you can suggest to us for the future?p asked General Wilson. 'I believe all the difficulties we met with could be obviated in the future if the na- ;'onal guard were trained as are the armies of foreign countries. Give them long marches. Let them mass at San Antonio and move to Galveston, or some other place. March them to a port and embark them. No matter if it does cost money, let them be trained.''

won two heats; Lady lockwood two; and

had the pole. Stella second, and Mackum-
boy on the outside After getting the
word they went away very fast. Lady
lockwood broke on the turn and made
quite a run, reaching the quarter pole in
33at seconds, and making three breaks in
the first half. But she had any amount
of speed and landed at the wire good five
lengths in front. Stella trotted "a steady
mile not lifting her nose in the heat.

be awarded the heat. But the judges
gave Lady lockwood first place in the heat

First Anniversary Sermon at Peoples Church

Rev. B. S. Crosby preached his first
anniversary sermon, Sunday morning.
The church was we'll filled. He took
for his text "Haggai 2. first clause, Bird
verse, and said in part: Il bring, TO-
day, hearty congratulations to this So
ciety. You have convinced the people
of this city of your real fidelity. All
first you were looked upon with sus-
picion, but you have shown by your
integrity, and by the hands of helpful
ness which you have extended. that
you are devout worshipers ar,d believe
in the great cardinal principles OF
Christianity. The Chi istian, no matter
of w'hat order, will find these founda-
tons broad enough, and firm enough,
to afford him abundant room, and
strong support. We shall not ask you
in coming here to what denomination
you are attached, but shall be salts
fed when we behold in you the image
of Christ.
Let us rejoice that we live in a
world THAT is not stereotyped, world
that is not perpetual sameness. The
race of men is unfolding. A beautiful
design is being wrought out in the
loom of the ages. There is an upward
tendency of mankind which bids us
hope for the ages to come. Let US an
ticipate the future and build for 1t.
May this be the birthplace of many
souls. Here may you and your chill
dren, and your children's children, tor
many generations, come up with songs
and thanksgivings to the Father OF
Mercies, and the God of all comfort,
for his manifold gifts, and graces be-
slowed so freely and abundantly upon
you. Let us ALL in the year to come
(as in the past year,. march shoulder
to shoulder for the advancement of the
Masters cause; with malice toward
none, but charity for all.

The GAME SEASON
Opens With Abundance Of
Deer Awaiting Sportsmen.
Fewer Moose Seen and the Caribou

Bangor, Me-, Oct. 1.-The open sea-
son for big game i'm Maine began, yes
terday, and, so far as deer are con-
csrned, the sportsmen will have plenty
to shoot at. AS for moose, there are
many and conflicting stories, while
every one agrees that caribou are very
scarce. There seems to be no doubt
THAT moose are becoming fewer and
fewer every year, and persons COM
petent to judge say that unless the
laws are made more stringest, moose
will soon disappear altogether from
this State, where once they were SO
numerous.
The laws have certainly operated %
Increase the number of deer in Maine,
for notwithstanding the great num-

are more numerous than ever

been a nuisance during the summer,

common thing for deer TO enter the

few moose, too. have been SEEN
this year, within Is miles of the city,
and they seemed to have approached
nearer the coast than usual. OF the
carib0 u. however, there are no reports,
except that the animals appear to have
forsaken their old haunts.
For some weeks past parties of
sportsmen from New York. Boston and
elsewhere have been passing through
Bangor on the way north. some going
to New Brunswick, where the season
for big game opens Sept. /, to return
later to Maine. The law allows two
deer. one bull moose and one caribou
to each hunter, and this year there will
be no trouble about getting the two
deer.
