Que of the greatest needs of our
churches is business qualities in
those who lead. Competency to
deal successfully with practical at
fairs oflite. The idea that is often
lived up to by many of our chuch-
es, that any man, SO he has relig
ion. will make an officer in the
church is as far from the right as
it is foolish. The officiary should
be composed not only of good men
but of intelligent men-men of bu-
siness methods aud business tact.

ONE YEAR AGO.

Sweet spring has come with all her
happy courtiers,
The apple-tree its blossums in dewy
fragrance bends
Fl Ugh from its boughs robin
His merry carol sends.
One year ago at this old place of trys-
ting
Y on told me when the blossoms came
again,
You would be mine. and all the dreary
winter,
This hope alone hath soothed my rest
less pain.
The spring has come with all courtiers
And your courtier humble yet most
bold
Am coming soon, low at your feet to
offer
A true hearts love that never will
grow old

CITIZENS AROUSED.
Will Further investigate Ware
Murder at Bucksport.
Detectives Make Report and Authori-
ties Will Drop the Case.
But Certain Citizens Will Keep on Searching
for the Murderer.

Bucksport, Me-, Nov. 2s.-The citi-
zens OF this place have de-
cided to take action in connection with
the mysterious case which has devel-
oped as the result of the finding of the
body of Sarah Ware, a widow. who
llved here, in pasture in a condition
winch indicated murder. A movement
already has been started to raise funds
to carry on an independent investiga-
ton, the matter having been apparent
ly been dropped by the authorities.
Those who are interested in the new
proposition claim that while detectives
who have been at work for weeks,
failed to find direct evidence to show
either time or motive in the case they
did discover circumstantial evidence of
a serious nature duplicating a promi-
nent citizen of the town. The impor-
lance OF the information in possession
OF the detectives is indicated by the
fact that for the past few weeks they
have devoted all their time to investi-
eating clews growing out of it, work in
all other directions having been aban-
doned.
The detectives, Odlin of Lewiston
and Tracey of Bangor, today. submit
ted the evidence to the town and county
authorities. In view of the fact that
the evidence was wholly circumstan-
tial it was decided that it would not
be wise to take any steps in the mat
ter. Certain citizens, however, wish
to push the investigation further anG
have acted accordingly.
s Mrs. Ware disappeared from her
home, Sept. II. Her body was found
two weeks later in a remote pasture
with her skull crushed and every in
dication of murder.

AMERICA is THANKFUL.
And Americans al Paris Tell Each Other Why
It Is SO. ~. p

Paris, Nov. 23.-The American Uni
versity Club gave IT'S THANKSGIVING
banquet. this evening, at the Hotel
draped with the Stars and Stripes and
the French. tri-color.
In the absence of Whitelaw Reid, due
to indisposition, Gen. Horace Porter.
the United States ambassador. presid-
ed. Covers were laid for 100 and the
company included all the members OF
the United States peace commission ex-
cept Mr.. Reid, the members Of the Uni
ted States embassy and consulate and
representatives of the American colo
ny in Paris. M. Bartholdi and several
other Frenchmen were present.
Gen. Horace Porter. in the course of
his remarks, dwelt upon the special
reasons America has for giving thanks
in the present year, saying that special
thanks were due to Providence and the
soldiers of America for the outcome of
the war with Spain.
Capt. Cook, who replied to the toast
to the American Universities pointed
out the honors that had been won by
college men in the colPse of the war.
NJ. Bartholdi, in a speech, foretold
a great artistic future for the United
States.
An enjoyable programme of songs
followed the speeches.
Gen. Porter, in his speech said:
Within week the United States will
have concluded substantially a peace
treaty. 1t will be such treaty as will
secure all the fruits of our victories.
Our people have endorsed the principle
of expansion. Many Americans who
opposed the war now admit that Amer
lea is justified in discarding the swad-
ding clothes of infancy ~ extending
the privileges of her freetean as widely
as possible.
THE war has made ATS respected
abroad and stopped Sd6ttnalism at
home. They were wise and patriotic
Americans who saw the. wisdom Of
freeing Cuba and of giving good gov
eminent to the Philippines. The war
made the Americans see that where
Americas interests are concerned none
are for the party and all for the state.

WAITING FOR MADRID.
Spanish Peace Commissioners Ask ier Further
Delay Before Answering Uliimaiun

Paris, Nov. 2S.-At the request OF the
Spanish peace commissioners there
was no joint session. today, pending
Instructions from Madrid. The date OF
the next meeting Is not fixed
The postponement of today is regard
ed as hopeful sign that the treaty will
be signed. While the Madrid govern
ment has not yet received the text Of
the American ultimatum, the Spanish
ministers received quite enough by tel
egraph on. Monday night to enable
themto instruct their commissioners to
retire, We're such their Intentions.
It was confidently believed by sew
eral of the American commissioners
who conversed with the correspondent
Of The Associated Press that before
the expiration of the time fixed by the
Americans. namely, Monday next, the
Spaniards will acquiesce in the United
States Philippine offer and that ulti-
mately the treaty will be signed by all
the Spanish commissioners. 1t Is true
that the course which Senior Montero
Rios will follow is still uncertain, as he
continues to play on the gallery"
But leading member of the American
commission believes he will sign with
the other Spaniards. In any case. his
place on the commission will be speed
lily filled, probably by Senior Castillo,
the Spanish ambassador here.
Senior Rios sent communication to
the American commissioners, last
evening, asking number of questions.
The most important of them. and to
get an answer to which the letter was
undoubtedly written, was tucked away
in the middle of the letter, it asked, in
effect, if the American really meant
that the ultimatum must be answered
by Monday. The Spaniards were as
sured that they did, and the answer
has cleared the air.
A member of the Spanish commits
sion. this morning, assured the cor
respondent of The Associated Press
that the meeting of the commissions
will take place, Friday or Saturday,
and that Spain's answer then will be
the last she will make and that it will
be definite conclusion of the matter
in hand. The utterance is looked upon
as indicating that Spain will sign the
treaty of peace.

THE BAR NEEDS REFORMING.
Judge BIandin Makes Sensational Speech a,
Burke Hearing at Cleveland.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 23-Aftel
hearing the testimony of several I'M
important witnesses in the proceed
ings against State Senator Burke. to.
day, the attorneys for both sides an.
nounced that that all their witnesses
had been examined and that they were
ready to begin arguments.
Attorney Johnson opened for the Bar
Association and Attorney Koran fol-
lowed for the defence Ex-Judge
Blandin made the closing argument TO,
the prosecution.
Judge Blandin arose to speak, as
everyone supposed, in support of the
charges and in defence of Judge Del
lenbaugh. Instead of doing that the
Judge did not attempt to affim or deny
the truth of the charges nor did he at
tempt to defend Judge Dellenbaugh.
He made a bitter and sensational at
tack on the whole bench of Cuyahoea.
He said he knew the risk he was TAX
ing but that he did not care For some
time the ex-judge and members of the
bar who listened to Blandins passion
ate utterances, stood amazed at his
daring. Then they broke in cheers.
When Judge Blandin finished they
cheered and clapped their hands again
and again.
Judge Blandin declared it was the
bench which first needed reforming
and the elimination of rottenness
should commence with the bench he
said. He went into details and did not
hesitate to say he was talking about
Judge Walter c. Ong and Judge T. K.
Dissette. He said it was a compare
lively insignificant thing whether
Judge Dellenbaugh was impeached and
driven from the bench or whether
Vernon H. Burke was disembarred 1t
is more important he declared, to
cleanse the bench of the country so
that property, liberty and life may be
safe in the hands of seven men con-
shutting the court. 1t was one of the
most sensational speeches ever made
by a lawyer in Cuyohoga county.
The trial committee then retired to
consider the testimony. A decision
may not be reached for several days.

HAVANA SHOWS MORE LIFE.
Everybody Hustling to Receive the uoiied
States Army Of Occupation.

Havana, Nov. %, Via Key West. Nov.
23.-The last few days have seen ra-
vival of activity in every quarter.
Things appear to take on more def
mite forms in every branch Of military
occupation. Here at Havana wharyes
are being built and railway connec-
tions made. The camps chosen are ac-
tually begun to be constructed. Gov
eminent boats and supplies are arriy-
ing and the first installment of United
States troops is expected, Friday. AT
the custom house the archives are fur-
riedly being packed, preparatory to
turning over the building to the Ameri-
can authorities. The best energies OF
the Spanish are now bent on an I'M
mediate evacuation Of the island.
With advent of cooler weather the
health of the general public has i'm
proved. No new cases Of yellow fever
among foreigners have been recorded
and the situation can be said to be
visibly better. There are. however
two discordant notes, the increase OF
crime and the continuance of official
corruption. The newly constituted po-
lice force, armed with machetes and
rifles, is totally inadequate to cope
with the criminal classes, whose ranks
are daily swollen by the return of de-
ported prisoners from the penal colo
MES. They make very poor substi-
tute for the disbanded Order Publico
The alarming increase in vice and
crime renders it unsafe to walk the
streets unarmed or unprotected after
night fall. The police records show re-
ports of "holdups, murders, burglaries
and highway robberies. which never
get into the local papers, thanks to the
watchful censor. Corruption, brib-
cry and wholesale stealing in the mill
tary and civil administration continue
unchecked.
Senior Giranta, secretary of Spanish
evacuation commission, this afternoon,
delivered two notes to the United
States commissioners. The first an
nounced that the troops in the province
of Pinar del Rio and the province of
Havana would embark for Spain at the
city of Havana, that those in Matanzas
province would embark at Matanzas
city and those in the province of Santa
Clara at Cienfuegos.
The other note announced that the
Trinidad division would be evacuated
at the end of November and the Sancti

ions belonging to Santa Clara province.

general of Cuba.
After the meeting of the cabinet coun-
had been decided on the subject OF peace
Washington, Nov. 25.-No surprise Is ex-
pressed in government circles here at the
news of Gen. Blanco's resignation. It is
known that some time ago the general
sought to resign the Office Of captain gem
eral of Cuba and he was induced to re-
tain that post only by appeals to his
patriotism on the part of the Madrid
government. 1t is supposed that his puf-
pose is to avoid what he may regard as
the dishonor of surrendering the gem. Of

the same course. Gen. Arolas, the second
in command. Is likely to have the un-
pleasant duty of surrendering Spanish
