In Memory Of the Dead.

Nearly every seat in the auditorium of
the Unitarian church was filed, at the
morning service, yesterday. when the
pastor, Rev j. w Barker, delivered a
sermon before w. S. Heath Post, G. A
r.. the members of the Relief Corps AM
Sons of Veterans, in memory of those
Spain. Special music was furnished by
the regular church choir assisted by Mrs
Hubbard. and was one of the features of
the service.
The members of the Grand Army occu-
pied the seats reserved for them on either
side of the center aisle and directly unde.'
the pulpit. Nearly all the members of the
post We're present and with them many
of the members of the Relief Corps as
we'll as members of the local camp of
Sons of Veterans. The only decoration
was that of the Stars and Stripes carried
by the Grand Army. This was placed at
the right of the speaker.
The sermon, which was of unusual in
terest and held the closest attention of
the congregation, was preached by Rev.
j. w. Barker, WHO took as his text, Job,
Kills: Remember the battle" In the be-
ginning of the sermon he said he was not
present to eulogize the war or what had
been done. Some wars were necessary to
produce the state of brotherhood among
men and nations which is so much wished
for. AS to whether or not some wars
might not have been prevented by arbi-
tration. he said that some countries have
not yet reached the place in civilization
where they can talk arbitration.
Passing on to the matter of universal
peace, he said that when the nations laid
down their arms and became unprepared
for war, trouble would come to that ma
,ion. He then referred to the readiness
of the American people to respond to the
call to arms to secure the freedom of
Cuba. We did not go into the war
through any feeling of revenge, but with
clear conscience and for the good of an
oppressed people. He referred to the
manner in which the names of the naval
heroes are on everyones lips. but believed
also that the soldier in the ranks should
have his share of the credit for the hard
ships he had endured.
He then addressed himself to the mem
bers of Co. IL and spoke of the pride they
have in their uniforms since they have
been given it. The speaker carried the
matter further by saying that they should
be equally proud of their manhood, the
uniform God has given Them and see
that they too remain usisoiled and spot

American Mechanics Fair.

The members of the Order of Ameri-
can Mechanics are hard at work at the
present time on a. fair which is to be
given in City hall; Jan. 5 and s. One of
the attraction of the fair will. be a
minstrel show which is to be given the
first night. Something like Is members
will be in the circle with some of the
best talent in town as the end men.
Among the stars in the circle will be
George Barney. Joseph Ferguson, Si-
mon Priol and Ed Butler. The MEM
bers have been hard at work for two
weeks under the direction of Charles
Soule. and many catchy songs and
original jokes are being rehearsed.
Halls Orchestra will furnish music. SO
that the musical part of the programme
is bound to be a success.
Norbet Krutzky is to be the costumer
and there is every assurance that the
production will be one of the finest in
the amateur line that has been placed
on the local boards for a long time.
The second evening will be devoted to
dancing. Besides these attractions,
there will be the usual attractions that
make fair a success.

Mass. Without going into further de-
tails of the case regarding the nedl-
cine itself. the manner of sale IS per-
haps the most questionable. A printed
card is given the purchaser whica
reads as follows:
c. l.. Hood & Co., Boston. Mass.
Our agent will call upon you. leaV-
ing fun dollar bottle of our nerve
tonic for As cents, which we guarantee
to cure all diseases mentioned on la'Dal'
and we respectfully request you TO try
it upon these conditions: If not salts
factory this card is good for As cents
at your most popular druggists.
Now a careful inquiry among the
leading druggists of Gardiner revealed
the fact that they knew of no such
medicine, and that they would not re-
fund or pay any person the amount
they paid for the medicine, as was
promised in the printed card. 1t is not
only singular how people will patronze
an unknown agent who seMs what pur-
ports to be a patent medicine when re-
sponsible druggists stand ready t.
supply all reliable remedies, but it is
also more singular how people dare
take medicine into their system unless
it is sold by some responsible person
or persons.

Friday Nights Polo Game.

The game of polo, Friday night
gave the sports a better chance than
they have had since the foot ball sea-
son slosed. Everybody was talking
polo on the streets, Saturday. and
many were the words of commentator
Tor the local team as men and their
work as players. 1t was clearly
shown. Friday night, that the hall
made an unusually good place for play
ing. Through the use of the hall the
men had to learn new tactics in the
game. There was not the chance for
the long carom shots that the players
use, but in spite of the fact more or
less cushion work was done.
Everybody had a word of praise for
the manner in which Capt. Foster
managed his team. Those who have
met him personally find that he is lust
as clean a man off the floor as he was
in the hall While playing. The man
agement feels much encouraged at the
manner in which the Waterville people
supported the team and guarantee that
with continuation of such support
the city will have a team which will
be worthy of the city which it repre-
sents.
Skowhegan too is much interested in
the game and it's team and there is
every indication that there will be as
much sport in the triangular as in the
Maine League. There is one thing
positive and that is the teams so far
have played fully as fast IL not faster

games lasted two and three hours, and
the pace was the hottest of the hot

but muscular drives and team work
were relied on. The sport was strictly
amateur in character but the players
did nothing but play, and constant
practice gave them all the skill of the
best professionals. The old team IS
now well scattered, but If there were
any place to practice, those who are
still in town would, no doubt, get to-
gether just for the sake of the old days.
There is considerable interest mani
tested in organizing an amateur team
here and a winner could, no doubt, be
developed with the old champions to
coach and advise the young players.

A MATTER OF BUSINESS.
Judge Larrabee Has Good Way Of Dealing
With Tramps.

Judge Larrabee sent three tramps to
Jail at the Gardiner police court, Sat
urday morning. The local officers say
that they have been troubled with the
Migrants long enough and that now
they will go up to board with Sheriff
McFadden for a month or two.
Judge Larrabee has a novel way to
sentence tramps. If gang of four are
brought before the court he seldom
ever gives them the same sentence. He
will give one 80. another 35 and still an
other 40 days. Perhaps the fourth one
will be given 60 days.
This is done in order that the tramps
will be discharged from the Jail al
dates several days apart. This breaks
up their gang and it is said to be very
effective in guarding against burgla-
rieS etc
