Dewey's Brilliant Exploit.

In boldness Of conception and audacity
of execution Dewey's exploit will rank
beside brakes attack on the Spanish fleet
in the harbor of Cadiz in 1887, in which
he burned, sunk or captured large num-
Der of vessels-a feat which he styled
''singeing the King of Spain's beard''-
and with Nelson's destruction of the
Danish war ships in the harbor of Copen-
hagen in 1901. But the German and
French papers which are expressing sur
prise at Dewey's vigor and daring merely
show an ignorance of the long list of bril-
liant achievements which cast their
splendor across a century of United States
naval history. Dewey belongs to the
same race as Paul Jones, Barry, Perry,
McDonough, Decatur, cambridge, Far
ragut, and the other accomplished and
intrepid sea warriors whose deeds have
shed an undying glory on the American
name. [St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Then and NOW.

The following letter, published durin 9
as pertinent to the present crisis. 1t was
written, as the address shows, to a friend,
and the writer was daughter of the late
Charles Henry Eaton, Tragedian:
My FRIEND " GU are going to the ''big
war s. as Otbello terms it. May heaven
protect you amid the dangers of the tent
ed field anC restore you safe and upinjur-
ed to fill prosperous life, and when de-
cending the vale of years-you can in
dulge in retrospections of duties robly
discharged.
You call me a secessionist, of course
loosely. can assure you that my mind is
so''exercised' in relation to the perils with
which tn wicked rebellion has beset our
noble I" + deral Government" that ! can
not write even cursory note to friend
save of most military stamp. You will
therefore pardon the tenor of my present
epistle. l am now going to give you
piece of advice which you must commend
to your military friends. viz
The Romans after long and exhausting
wars with the Carthagenians became SO
exasperated that they resolved to destroy
the noble city of Carthage, whose popu-
lation numbered 100000. Cato the cen
sor was wont to end all his speeches with
this expression, "Ca1thdg0 belinda est
Carthage must be destroyed. y
Now, if instead of the apathy which it is
generally admitted characterizes our peo
pie, they would resolve, like the Romans,
that this Rebellion must be crushed out, it
would be done, but we are not one tenth
part so much in earnest as the south. With
them there is no other thought but war,
and until we work ourselves up to an
equal pitch and determination we shall
meet with reverses, until at last impatient
at the spectacle of our hunilating pos
ture, will resolve in joining the Southern
Contederacy Therefore l enjoin upon
You, see to it that our Glorious cause
commences a new era, by having en-
blazoned on every Federal Banner.

Penobscot Defences.
Mines, Torpedoes and Notifications Ready.
Navigation Hours Specified.

Mines, Torpedoes and Fortifications Ready.
Navigation Hours Specified.
The war department issued May 10th,
regulations for the navigation of the en-
trance to Penobscot river. The notice
was sent out from the office of the United
States engineer in Portland, which is in
charge of Major r. l.. Hoxie, and is as
follows:
Submarine mines having been placed in
position in connection with the defence
of the Penobscot river, Maine, the follow
ing regulations for the safe navigation of
the channel by friendly vessels and for
the protection of the defences are hereby
established by authority of the secretary
of war:
mo vessel will be allowed to pass
through the channel of entrance at Fort
Knox, Me, except between the hours of
daylight, between I q. m. and p. m.
During the interval between p. NJ and
a. M, vessels must not approach within
three miles of the batteries at Fort Knox.
2-Patrol boats will be stationed above
and below the defences. These boats are
authorized to stop vessels, to inquire in
to their character or to instruct them how
to pass through the mine fields. The or
ders of the patrol boats must be strictly
obeyed.
3-Saling vessels can pass safely
through any part OF the channel in the
Penobscot river during the day time.
4-Steam vessels must pass over the
short length Of channel Indicated by buoys
in the immediate vicinity of Fort Knox,
either by drifting with the tide or warp
ing against it. Neither screw nor paddle
wheel can be turned within these limits
5-No vessel will be allowed to anchor
within three miles of the battery at Fort
Knox without special authority.
Vessels are warned that if they disre-
gard these regulations, they will expose
themselves to serious damage and will be
liable to be fired upon by the battery.
r. l.. HOME,
Major, Corps of Engineers.
For several weeks preparations had
been going on for mining of the Penob-
scot at Fort Knox, but it was not gener-
ally known that the mines are already in
position as stated in the regulations
Fort Knox has been undergoing repairs
and has received ammunition and sup
plies, so that now everything is in readi-
ness for defending the river against the
raids of the Spaniards.

A New Principal for Bucksport Semi
nary

At the annual meeting of the trustees
of the East Maine Conference Seminary,
commonly called Bucksport Seminary
held at Bangor Me. Tuesday, April 26
Principal W. A. Hutchinson presented his
resignation, and it was accepted. Imme-
diately the trustees unanimously elected
Rev. j. Frank Haley to fill the position.
Mr.. Haley is an alumnus of Wesleyan
University (class of 76) having prepared
for college at Kents Hill during the presi-
dency of Dr.. H. P. Torsey Just before
his graduation from Middletown he re-
ceived and accepted a call to Bucksport as
professor of mathematics and natural
science. where he remained four years,
afterward entering the active ministry in
the East Maine Conference. He has served
leading charges in the Conference, and
was also a very acceptable presiding elder
of the Bucksport District for five years.
Mr.. Haley has been honored by his Con
ference in many ways, having been sent
as a fraternal delegate to most of the an
nual gatherings of the religious demoni-
nations of the State. He led the East
Maine delegation of the last General
Conference held at Cleveland Ohio.
The action OF the trustees in placing
him in the responsible position of principal
him, as lie was in no wise candidate for
the position. We predict for this famous
institution prosperous future under his
management. 1t is understood that he
will be ably sustained by very efficient
corps of teachers. The present harmon
ious feeling among the board of trustees
and their vigorous measures for the
advancement of the Seminary will give
their new principal royal support in his
arduous labors. Let all the Methodist
people of Eastern Maine now take this
historic and beloved institution anew to
their hearts and provide the students and
the financial support necessary in order
to inaugurate new and better day in its
history.
Prof W. A. Hutchison who has labored
untiringly during the year, has greatly en-
deared himself to the faculty and students.
He has accepted the position of associate
principal of Darlington Seminary at West
Chester, Pa. Zions Herald

woman S proper sphere are so many idle
speculations, and the mems claim to the
worlds work ridiculous rhodomontade.
For it is many chances to one that the gar
ments we wear were woven by women,
that the bedding which warns us was their
made by their deft fingers, and that the
food which nourishes us was largely grown
by them for the market, and almost exclu-
sively cooked by them when it entered our
homes. They most probably upholstered
the chairs and couches on which we sit,
lacquered the iron bedsteads on which
we lie, and had a finger in produc-
ing almost every article of luxury or
necessity. Butter, cheese, jam, tea,
coffee. and thousand other every day
articles of consumption, are mainly their
work. Common things, as pins and nails
and made-up garments, are cheap because
women are cheap, because their labour
can be purchased at starvation prices
And when we hear of women making
troopers coats for fourpence half penny
and policeman suit for fifteen pence,
to Include their employers profits, we
are shocked at the callous effrontery which
would exclude them from any profitable
labour OF deny them those political rights
which might improve their sad position
The grisly horror of the whole thing
makes one feel with the poor seamstress
in Hood $ Song Of the Shirt =
sob, God. that bread should be 50 dear.
A nd flesh and blood so cheap"
SO long as women are shut out from the
highest occupations, the lowest must re-
main overcrowded and comparatively
badly paid. What is required i'll the in
terests of all alike is a free field for all,
irrespective of sex. Let the capable wo-
man take precedence of the incapable
man. 1t is a fiction to suppose that wo-
men generally are supported by men.
This is true only of few. Neither do
they wish to be so supported. All they
ask is Freedom without favor. And their
emancipation from CALLING and unjust re-
straints will be of equal advantage to both
sexes. Morality, too, will be promoted
by it. As the judge said to a button hole
worker the other day, "You need not tell
me that you bought the nice clothes you
are wearing ont of your earnings, because
that would be IMPOSSIBLE But even a
poor button hole maker must earn some
thing. She dare not initiate our first
mother, and Necessity has no law"
The consequence is that she is compelled
to sell her body in order to clothe it, be
cause all she earns by hard work will
scarcely provide the most meagre food and
lodging. And thus this iniqutous state
Of Kings not only impoverishes the work
ers and their offs pring, but degrades and
rui Us body and soul together.

Weekly CrOD Bulletin.

U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Climate and Crop Bulletin of the
Weather Bureau, Wisconsin Section,
for the week ending June 2I, 1898:
The average precipitation for the state
during the past week was much less
than during the week Immediately pre-
ceeding, except in the southwestern
counties, where the total rainfall for
the week generally exceeded 9 inches,
the greater portion of which fell in
heavy showers on the 18th. Consid-
cradle washing resulted from these
rains on light soil and hillside land, and
crops, especially clover, which is very
heavy and nearly ready for harvesting,
were badly beaten down in some IocaIi-
ties. The weather was decidedly cool
during the early part of the week and
light frosts occurred on the morning of
the 18th at many points in the western
and northern counties, but with COM
paratively slight damage. The latter
part of the week was much warmer,
the maximum temperature on the 10th,
18th and 18th reaching 900 in many
portions of the state. All crops have
made excellent progress during the
week. The cultivation of corn has been
delayed by the rains in the southwest
ern counties, and the fields are becom-
ing weedy, but in other portions of the
state this crop has been worked gener-
ally for the second time. The growth
is very rank, the color rich green, and
the condition Of the plant is generally
strong and healthy. The harvesting of
clover has commenced IN the southern
counties, and will become general next
week. The crop is exceptionally heavy.
Winter wheat and rye are heading out
we'll and in some LOCALITIES are begin
ming TO tnrn yellow. There is some
complaint of rust, but generally these
crops give promise Of a good yield.
Early sown oats and barley are begin
ming to head and some fears are ex-
pressed that the exceedingly rank
growth of straw will be detrimental to
the yield of grain. The setting of to-
baccO plants is nearly completed and
the abundance of moisture ir the soil
has given them an excellent start The
raWberry crop is very large and of
excellent quality. Cherries are ripe,
and the crop is good Other fruits
promise well. Pastures are unusually
good.

Conditions of Trade.

The passing of the war tax bill, the
offering of bonds, and the collapse of
Letter and cash wheat, have made the
week somewhat exciting. In spite of
some featu1 es which cannot be justified,
the tax bill was approved as probably
the best that could be obtained from
congress this year, and gave assurance
of needed revenue for the emergency.
Its bond provision has already called
out offers more than three times the
amonnt desired, and it will probably
prove the most successful loan ever in
vited by the United States. A great
victory in the field could hardly be
more important, especially in its infu-
ence Oh foreign opinion. In an age
when wars are carried on with money,
a nation which waits impatiently to loan
its government 100000, 900, when it
wants S2OO,0O0,000 at per cent, has rea-
son to hope for peace. Not less signif-
cant was the excess of exports over i'm
ports in May by $56, SO,O37, making a
a merchandise balance in favor of the
United Estates $571 ,8S9,O37 in eleven
months of the fiscal year, while net i'm
ports of gold were $1O2, ,O26, ,9S9, though
In no previous year have the net i'm
ports of gold exceeded $97, ,466, ,127 IN

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way to
recovery, by purchasing of MS a bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept ali night;
and with two bottles, has been abso-
Iutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther
Lutz." Thus writes w. c. Hamnick &
Co., of Shelby. n. c. Trial bottles free

County Politics.

The Marshfeld Times comments in its
last issue upon local matters as follows:
AS regards matters political in Wood
county. 1t is early vet to give much
evidence, but nevertheless some talk is
heard. For instance, the name of P. n.
Christensen of the town of Lincoln, is
receiving much attention as the prob
able one to head the county ticket.
Mr.. Christensen will make the canvass
if nominated and there is DO man in the
county that isibetter qualified and stands
better with the people. He would
make an excellent member of assembly
and add strength to the ticket. Keep
your eye on Pete.
1t is generally conceded that County
Clerk Renne will succeed himself
One good turn deserves another and
be re-nominated, as he no doubt will
be by acclamation. The Office of county
clerk, under his careful management. IS
systemized and perfect in all its details
and it does not require a search warrant
to find a filing year old. No, Mr.. Renne
is the right man in the right place and
has proven himself an officer worthy of
recognition.
Mr.. Nick Berg,who has carefully
guarded the county's cash the past four
years, has many friends who are push
ing him along as candidate for sheriff
Whether Mr.. B has seriously consid-
cred the matter is not known by the
writer but it is said by those who seem
to know, that he has. Nick has more
friends to the square inch than any
man in Wood county and we believe
if nominated would come out ahead
over any candidate the opposition might
name. He will no doubt be heard
from later.
You don't hear so very much con-
cerning the office of treasurer, although
it is said that Sheriff Smith would be
willing to exchange the keys to the jail
for those Of the treasury office. The
name of Chas Ecklund of the town of
Sigel is also mentioned for the same
office.
1t would be hard to tell what would
become Of the registers Office unless
Nash Mitchell was there to see to it.
do not know whether Mr.. Mitchell
but if he is or is not his friends have
the satisfaction of knowing that he has
made the best register this county eyer
had
Hele is something we can say positive.
District Attorney Williams at the con-
clusion of his present term of office,
will step down and out. His increas-
ing law practice at home requires his
whole attention, and further he belives
for the good of that office that no man
should hold it consecutiveIy for longer
term of years than four. The name of
B. NJ. Vaughan, of Grand Rapids, is
mentioned as his probable successor.
Nothing whatever has beeu heard
concerning the Office of county superin-
teudent and clerk Of court, but no doubt
before the holding ofcounty convention
there will be aspirants for both places.

soon as he proved himself thoroughly
competent Of handling the exchange.
He has had considerable experience
under Mr.. Martin and we have every
reason to believe that he will be equal
to the undertaking. w. H. Reeves was
selected to make the monthly collections
and keep the books while President
Nash will look after the purchase of
supplies and have an eye over all.
The new switch board with capacity
of 150 drops was received Tuesday and
is now in place. As soon as the con-
nections are all made the exchange will
have 176 phones in use with prospects
of many more in the near future. The
local exchange is great success.
