The question is often asked, care the
supplies re ally needed which the Aid AS.
ISOLATION is providing and sending to the
camp of the Maine soldiers?" In answer
the association assures the public that
every branch of work undertaken has
been in accordance with the most explicit
information of those in a position to
know. The society is in constant COM
munication with Col Morton and DR..
O'Neil both in charge of the Maine SOL
diers, so.that our knowledge is positive
and definite. The association congratu.
lates the public that it has been able to
do SO much in quiet way, by means Of
subscriptions of clubs and private citi-
zens, the McCullum Theatre benefits and
the red. white and blue boxes. The work
thus far done has been limited to tns
needs of the Maine soldiers at Camp
Thomas, Chickamagua Park. and not
yet has the supply been equal to the de-
mand. A box weighing over 800 pounds
was sent last week, and another of the
same size will be sent on Tuesday next

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

A Waterville physician thinks he is en-
titled TO the Prize Tor the champion alb.
sent-minded man. 4 he Mail says: Some
weeks ago "a woman who lives some
miles out of the city, called at his Office
and paid bill Ct $40 for professional ser
vices. Today she came into his office
again and asked him if he was always
willing to rectify mistakes. OF course
be replied that he was and she thereuron
produced the doctors check fer SIC
drawn to her order, all in due form. AT.
ter thinking hard for moment it
dawned on the physician that when tho
woman had paid him on her previous
visit he had seized his check book instead
of his receipt book. The filling out of the
check embraced about the same process
as the making out of n receipt and neith-

WILL LET CURRENCY ALONE.
Democratic County Committee Discuss
Situation With Candidate Mckinney.

The Cumberland County Democratic
committee. chosen at the recent conyen-
ton, held its second meeting in Portland,
Saturday. A general invitation had been
sent to prominent Portland Democrats to
attend the meeting, and quite number
Of them dropped in during the session
and talked things over with the commit
tee.
Rev. Luther F. Mckinney of Bridgton,
the congressional candidate, was also
present and did good part of the talk
ing. He expressed his intention to go on
the stump in the district, but in his opin-
ion it will be better to wait till after the
Republicans make their nomination and
build their district platform. The. County
Committee cooincided in Candidate Nc
Kinney's opinion.
Various matters pertaining to the
campaign and the welfare of the party
were discussed. The sentiment of all
who took part in the discussion swas. that
the less that is said about currency in
the coming campaign the better and THAT
the speakers in behalf of Democracy con-
fine themselves to local and State issues
and any questions of national Importance
except that of the currency.
"What did the commi ttee have to say
Gratis for the nomination of an independ.
emit candidate for governor?" was asked
of one of the prominent members of the
County committee after the meeting.
"We take no stock whatever in that
move," was his reply cit is q scheme
concocted by G. Vey Holman, and we all
know what he is His Democracy was
never more than skin-deep. 1t has al
ways beens.a case of rule or ruin with him.
The sooner he gets into the Republica n
party the better it will suit the Demo
Garlic party whose welfare he claims to
be SO in ensely interested in.
In my opinion the attendance at the
National Democratic State committees
meeting at the Preble House will be so
small that the committee will be disoour-
aged in its attempt to nominatessn oppo-
sition candidate. SO far as I can learn
the Portland Democrats Who voted
against Bryan two years ago are willing
to let the Ratchet lie buried two years
longer. There is no sense in lighting
over an issue that is as far removed from
the planks in the Chicago platform. and
most Democrats are agreed on fourteen Or
fifteen of them. There is no reason why
in this off year the party should go to
pieces over question that in no way con-
Germs the coming election.
IT was talking today with prominent
Portland Democrat who was identified
with the anti-free silver cause in 1856. He
said he is in harmony with the party this
year On general issues, and he did not
intend to allow his antipathy against one
plank in the state platform prevent
his voting the whole ticket"
Mr.. Il. B. inslow, who was nominat-
cd for governor by the Maine Democrats
in 1896 on gold platform, and withdrew
after the national convention went over
to free silver. was asked Saturday if he
intended to attend the meeting of the
National Democratic State COMMITTEES on
Thursday.
"No, shall not attend" he replied

The REV. MR.. HEME NWAY ON
LOVE-

At the high celebration at st. Luke Is
Cathedral yesterday, the curate, Rev. Mr..
Hemenway, preached discourse upon
the collect for the sixth Sunday after
Trinity, which held the rapt attention
of the congregation.
In commencing, the preacher said in
substance, that we misunderstood God IS
love to us, which is not only kind, but
also just. 1t is our duty to recognize the
good and also to know that evil doors
will surely BIZ punished in the future life.
We fail to understand how Gods good
ness is manifested in troubles, disappoint-
ments and sorrows which come to us,
but we must know that He is good from
the fact that He gave Himself upon the
cross for US.
Man sometimes learns to love God
through visitations of sorrow and grief,
Our love to the infinite should be the
IL otive power in our lives Those whom
we love we like to be alone with, SO
should we like to be alone with God
There are those upon the earth who live
lives of love and have found peace. We
ought to make the love Of God felt in
others through us.
The discourse very potently suggested
Emerson's essay on Love, in which he
SAYS: "Thus we are first in training
for a love which knows not sex, nor
person, nor Partially, but which seeks
virtue and wisdom every where"
Mr.. Hemenway's delivery is impress
siye, and he is very clear in thought and
concise in language.
