accepted.

Died--In Norridgewock, December 10,
Mrs. Mary Williams Sawtelle, wife of the
late Augustus d. Brown. ESQ long resi-.
dent of Portland) and the beloved daugh-
ter of the late John and Caroline Sawtelle
of Norrigdewock
AS a life long friend of the deceased,
am glad to pay this loving tribute to her
memory Mrs. Brown was one Of those
rare natures that won the love of all who
knew her worth. Her unself1shness was
proverbial. From a child she possessed
the sweet traits of character that made
her most precious friend and COM
panion.
She had been an invalid for several
years, bearing all her trials and suffer-
ings with great patience; trying daily as
she often said 'sto get all the sunshine
out of life she could''-thus making her
own path right and cheerful and also re-
fiecting her joy into the lives Of others.
Her sixty seventh birthday and nearly
three months over had passed, when she
was called Cup higher The summons
found her ready, and she calmly and
sweetly ssfell asleep" Her last hours
were marked by a singularly strong conf
dence in Col. Her friends were sure that
her faith gained her the victory over
death.
She was asked by friend are you
comfortable" sYes'' she replied, thanks
to my precious Saviour Hers was a
most beautiful death, as if she put her
hand in her Heayenlv Fathers and he
gently led her home.
Mrs. Brown was the last of her fathers
family. She leaves one son in the West,
and daughter who deyotedly loved and
cared for her to the last.
Like the evenings quiet close,
The gradual fading OF the rose,
Is Our dear one sank to her last repose.
Like the calmly setting sun,
When it's daily courss is run;
Our dear friend rests-lifs's labor done.

"a movement has been started" says
the Augusta correspondent of the Boston
Herald. Sin opposition to the reelection
of Eugene Hale. +" The starter appears to be
gentleman prominently connected with
the present State administration" who
showed the correspondent an article that
had been prepared for publication. Mr..
Hale's attitude toward the Spanish war
and his opposition to Philippine annexa-
tion are the reasons given for this alleged
movement. The beneficiary of the move
ment, according to the gentleman
prominently connected with the state ad.
ministration, is the Hon. Henry B.
Cleaves, but he authorizes US to say that
he knows nothing about any such move
ment, and would not have anything to
do with it in any way, shape or manner
but to condemn it. Our opinion is that
the Herald story is simply joke concoct-
ed by some of the state house humorists
We don't believe there is any prominent
official connected with the state admins
tration silly enough to think that any
capital could be made against Mr.. Hale
The Portland daily press., 1898-12-14

Very likely the constitution will be
found broad enough to permit us to gov
ern the Philippine Islands and Porto
Rico as dependencies without any regard
TO the wishes of the people of those is
lands, since it has been found broad
enough to permit the state of Mississippi
to deprive more than half its population
of the suffrage by what is to all intents
aud purposes a fraudulent device. But
that is not the point. We have been de-
eiariug ever since Thomas Jefferson wrote
the Declaration of Independence that it
was a fundamental principle of our poIiti
cal creed tina t governments derived their
Just powers from the consent of the gov
srnment, and now we propose to turn
round and either repudiate this creed
Or declare to the world that we have
never really believed it, and that all our
professions of regard for our doctrines hays
been hypocritical and insincere The
sserstepping of country's written con
Fkttution is small thing as compared
with the deliberate reputation under
the temptation offered by greed of those
fundamental principles on which it has
been declared for a century that its
government rested and which we have
claimed ought to underlie all govern
ments.

In MEMORIAM.

At special meeting of the Epworth
League of the Clark Memorial III. E.
Church the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted and it was voted
that copy be forwarded to Mrs. r. Il.
Small, the mother of the decreased and
that they also be printed in the daily
papers,
It is with sadness, and heartfelt sorrow
that we are compelled to believe that our
beloved brother in the Church, Sunday
School and Epworth League, Merton L..
Small, was a passenger on board the
Steamer Portland in thst disaster, Sun
day November 9th, 1898.
We had hoped that we would receive It'd
ings that would allay our fears. but now
can only hope that this sorrow, this loss,
is not all In vain, and not be comfortless
but in a manner comforted by the thought
of the happines our Heavenly Father be-
stow upon him in the Home land. The
world will be letter for the influence of
his Christian character, his gentlemanly
department. his helpful service and may
our League be inspired to greater faith
fulness by his example
Forever with the Lord
Amen, SO let it bel
Life from the dead is in that word,
Ills Immortality"
Wherefore be 1t resolved by this League
that we extend to his loving sorrowing
mother and friends our greatest sympathy
with prayerful hope that strength to look
up and the faith that lifts up may be
given.
