Rev. ]. NJ. Weems expresses his
pleasure at the marked improvement
and progress Brookhaven has made
since his pastorate at this place six
years ago, and says its greatest need
in the way of buildings is some new
churches. Bro. Weems is right, and
there will be two new church buildings
at no late date, to add dignity to the
town and honor to the cause. The
contract for building the new Baptist
church will be let this week.

kidney Troubles.

The kidneys cleanses the blood and on their
activity depends the health of the body. If the
liver becomes so torpid that it interferes with the
work of the kidneys the body suffers and dropsy
results. The most valuable feature in the cura-
tive effect of PRICKLY ASH BITTERs Is its
stimulating influence in the kidneys. 1t heals
and strengthens those organs so that they re-
sumo their blood cleansing and urine gathering
functions, purifies and regulates the liver tones
up the stomach and digestion, and by mild yet
thorough cathartic effect, all poisonous and bill
ious impurities in the bowels are driven out. 1t
quickly restores strength and health. Sold by

When Washington was reached tne poys
marched across the city in front OF tne
capital to Washington barracks, which Is
"a beautiful place, three sides being sur
rounded by bend of the Potomac river.
The reservation Is about one mile long
and nearly one half mile wide, with
beautifully laid out grounds and substan-
tial brick and stone buildings.
Shortly after their arrival the men were
given comfortable quarters in room On
the second floor of one OF the artillery
barracks. Each man was given an iron
cot with mattress and pillow; also close1s
for their equipments Besides TINS room
they have mess. reading and bath rooms.
There is also an Office connected for the
use of officer and clerks. Capt. Butler
and Lieutenant Walker were assigned to
quarters in officers row, about 5O yards
east of the barracks. There is one thing
that the State of Maine can be proud Of
and that is that she has sent the first
Signal Corps that has arrived here from
any state in the Union.
When we arrived here there we're thirty
eight men that had been recruited at
large for the signal service from all over
the country. Second place has been Sc
cured by Capt. Giddens of Connecticut,
who arrived with twenty -four men twelve
hours later. The Maine men are the only
ones who have arrived, so far, uniformed
and equipped. All others came in citizens
clothes and without any equipment what
ever.
The men were SO surprised at what is
expected of them here that they are just
beginning to recover their mental equi-
libriuln. They expected to go into camp
and rough it, but now many of them acre
threatened with spinal trouble, caused by
tryy1ng to keep up proper dignity. and
also with paralysis of the arm, caused by
salutlng from morning to night. Neither
is this all of their troubles; the men viii
be noun ted here; fifty horses having al
ready arrived. At 6. As in the morning,
when ''stables" is called, the men go tc
the stables, take care of the horses, groom
them and examine their feet, water and
exercise them.
They have not begun to ride yet. In
handling the horses 1t is not an unusual
sight to see green man and horses

like the piston rod of "a high speed engine,

in strident tones is much more insistent
than when suggested by an impersonal
metallic clang.
Some valuable possibilities the new in
vention does possess. The housewife
needn't laboriously explain breakfast de-

next morning that all important points
have been conscientiously forgotten. She
sets the Photographic alarm for angearly

tsrs and noisily lock doors and bid the
other members of the family good night
at the top of his voice and drop his shoes
on the bedroom floor with force that
shakes the parlor chandeliers, and call
down to the daughter that she must be
careful about turning off the gas and
locking the door. He will never be goad-
cd by sense of parental duty into walk

1t is to be hoped that the commander
Of the Santiago expedition will delay at
back upon the town until his army is
big enough to make victory sure and
speedy. Ii he feels that more troops are
needed than he now has he should wait
until reinforcements arrive. A partial
defeat of our army or a serious check
after we had actually begun operations
would be sure to revive the dropping
spirits OF the Spanish people, and that
would probably mean considerable pro-
longation Of the war. There are many
ind cations that the peace sentiment is
growing in Spain. A partial Spanish
success will check it, while steady and
overwhelming defeats will greatly stimu-
late it. We have soldiers enough at our
command to put at Santiago double the
men that the Spaniards can muster, and
we had better delay long enough to do it
rather than risk serious check that
may be magnified into a defeat, and
become the means of putting new life into
the Spanish war party.
