LETTERS TO SOUTH PANIC FeSFIG'
Hr. s. F. Darts, South Paris:
Dear Sir: You doubtless, in your OF
fetal capacity, have transacted business
with Postmaster Noyes, Of Gardiner,
Maine, and may be interested In state
ment he makes.
He says that the Evans House, In his
citv. was painted with F. w. Devoe q
Co.'S Paint 10 1882, and was not repaint-
ed until lS94-l2 years after. Even then
the body Of the paint WAS just rs good as
when put on. There had been no peel.
ing of or blistering, but the color OF
course, had become somewhat deadened,
as no color can remain permanent Tor IL
wears. So much for q pure paint ground
by machinery.
Now as TO lead and oil mixed by hand.
Mr.. X. w. Hsines, proprietor OF the
Hotel Coburn, Skowhegan, Me-, says he
has used lead and oil, and has had to
paint bis hotel four times Ia eleven years.
These facts prove that our Paints by
being ground by machinery, are some
times more than three times as durable
as lead and oil mixed by hand, and more
than three times as economical, because
certainly the cost Of labor for painting .
house once IL much less than the cost Of
labor for painting house three times.
Yours truly,
w. DEyOE & Co.

1t is remarkable that the mortality oad sickness in the great eneamp- nents, such as Camp Alger, Chicka- mauga, Camp Black, and later, the amps at Tampa and along the gulf toast. was not far greater than it was. For here the untried recruits were called upon to expose themselves, some times for days together, without even fbe shelter of tent, to unaccustomed surroundings and insufficient food.
 Suddenly they were transported from comfortable homes to comfort less camps, which were not, even in one instance, ready to receive them, and were then forced to subsist upon bad and meager rations, ill prepared, while the only water obtainable was

have been freed, at the moment that is perhaps the most poetic incident promised at the coronation. In dif- ferent way the congress of history may record the events of the reign whose suspicious dawn the homeward flight of the pigeons will proclaim to the loyal people Of the low countries.
 The history of a nation cannot be written with plume from a doye's wing; the goose quill and the iron pen are still required, but it is to be hoped that no member of the congress of his- tory, that now assemblies to do Wilhel- nina honor, will ever need other than doye's plume to record her happy life.
 No more fitting time or place could have been chosen for the gathering of this international congress. So much history has been made in the past few months, and so much is likely to be made in the months immediately ahead, that the advantage to be derived by this meeting of the men who write the histories of all nations cannot we'll be. overestimated. There is no doubt that the views now held by many will be broadened by the contact with other minds and other points of view. The American historian, now that peace is virtually concluded, may shake hands with the Spanish historian, and quiet half hours talk may serve to eradi- cate many false or extreme impressions on the part of both. Good feeling must be engendered and many benefits results from the pleasant intercourse.
 As to the fitness of The Hague as a place for the assembling of such con- gress there can be no question. Its story cannot be told without telling something of the history of every coun- try of importance in Europe, and through Hollands colonial possessions. 1t has associated itself with the far east and with the new world. It was here in this quaint old town of The

they speculate on the next move to be made by the nations in the never end ing game of stateeraft. It only needs the graceful figure of the young queen entering the dusky hall to make the picture perfect.
 Dignilied cardinals, scholarly priests, experienced statesmena suave diplo- mats-aH will be there, with the men who have led in battle as we'll as those who have set down their deeds. It will be meeting of those who make his- tory as well as of those who write it; an imposing gathering of the record CTS of the world. The meeting of these men may well serve as an incentive and warning to the girl-queen whose coronation they will witness, for soon CT or later the truth is given out by these students of people, progress and events.
 To the congress will come repre- sentatives of all the great states of Europe. America may we'll be proud of the men who will represent her at The Hague.
 First among these is Cardinal Gib- bons, man whose name is known and respected as we'll in Europe as in America, one of the men whose names have been mentioned as a possible can didate for the papal throne when Leo shall have quilted it. In any event. Cardinal Gibbons will be one of the men who will select the pope's success sor.
 Cardinal Gibbons has found time, not only to direct the Catholic church in America, but to write a number of admirable books, notable among the
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-08-28

ological works for their profound thought and broadness of mind.
 Hon. George F. Hoar, the veteran statesman and orator, whose name re- calls so many political battles, goes to The Hague as one of the representa- tives of the American Historical asso- ciation. He will be accompanied by Rev. Dr. Griffis and William Wirt Henry.
 Judge Truax, who is now in Europe, is also delegate.
 Into this sober and conservative body several ladies will be introduced. Until recently women have been en- gagged rather in the making of history through their influence upon men and their times than in recording it with pen and ink upon immortal pages. Now, however, all this is changed, and the Cleopatras and Mary Stuarts of the future-if the future should again produce such charming women-will not only have their lady doctors, but they will have their lady historians as we'll.
 If women had written more of the worlds history, it is interesting to speculate on the views they might have held concerning Alexander the Great, the wolf that provided for Romulus and Remus, the sincerity of Joan of Are, the amiable qualities of Catherine de Medici. Bloody Mary, her much married father. Henry the Eighth, and all the rest
 Mary Stuart owes much 10 Agnes Strickland. who introduced the English public to all that was best in the char acter of the famous queen of Scotland; but on the whole it is doubtful if the ladies would be over generous 10 their own sex; Cinque-M Mars or a Murat might be surer of their good words. There is no certainty that they would even concern themselves much with the doings their sisters. But we shall see, for the woman historian has ap- peared upon the scene.
 Miss Ruth Putnam is one of the ladies who will attend the congress. It was this Miss Putnam who wrote the admirable life of "WnlIam the Silent. i" Therefore there is particular fitness

In almost every instane scarcely fit to drink. The spring vas unusually cold and wet, and the volunteers were only becoming accustomd to the life when the great body of tIem were or dered to the southern camps to await the transport boats which we're to ear " them to Cuba.
 The first death in Cam Black oc- cured on the 3oth of May when Cor poral Crouch died of pneumonia. His death appears to have ben directly traceable to exposure. Badwater and an absolute lack of all fatalities for bathing helped to make C1mp Black uncomfortable. These mat ters were so serious that the adyisabslity of moY- ing the camp was considered. But nothing was done. Therewas but one hydrant in the rear of cath company street; it was entirely unprotected by any. screen nor barrier, oily two men could bathe at one time, ant there were between 100 and 200 men wliting their turn in the early morning before the presence of visitors shouldnake it im- possible. This condition 1neaaeed the health of the camp, which suffered also from lack of clothing, socis and un- derwear.

 .To unite the diplomats, historians and men of letters of the different countries, in order that they may dis cuss questions of international his tory,' is the object of the congress. And the nations have responded to the invitation of Holland by sending as delegates some of their most distin- guished men.
 What a subject painter might find in the dignifed and solemn assembly of the historians of the world! What an impressive picture the very thought conjures up of grave men with broad foreheads, beneath which keen eyes search in the past and peer seerlike into the blank of the future. their hands smoothing .heir white boards as
