BaccaIaureate Sermon, Belfast High
School.

Rev, Chas III. Wells Of the Universalist
| church preached the baccalaureate sermon
| for the Belfast High School, class of 9S, last
| Sunday. The church was very modesty and
prettily decorated. White drapery depended
| from the cross in the centre at the rear to
either side of the pulpit arch and the altar
was draped in the same material laid in fine
| folds On either side Of the pulpit in the
rear on tables were jardineres with immense
| bouquets of double buttercups. On the table
in front large cluster OF feur-de-ls, white
| ferns and smaller bouquets finished very
| pleasing whole. The class marched in in
| body, followed by the teachers and speaker,
the class remaining standing while the
| speaker entered the pul Pit. Mr. Wells took
for his text. Heb. 12:16, and as a subject,
| Desiring Better Things" Among other
most excellent things he said: Everybody
has the desire for better things, but the
reason we see so many sleepy and dormant
| lives is because some early lost the push and
force to secure better things in their aimless-
ness and indecision. The period OF youth is
| the period for the most ardent desire, desires
| thai are as strong as Bessemer steel, as last
ing, under right conditions, as the everlast-
Ing hills from which that steel in its first
form is taken. Spiritual and immaterial
things are as susceptible to exercise and
training as are such material things as mus
cles Of the body Exercise the desire for
better things in order to have a healthy per-
sonality. Not only desire better things, but
desire better things strongly; add the habit
| of exercise and training to that of desiring.
Keep this Old French saying ever in your
hearts-N0Jlesse 0J1ige--it implies that nobil-
ity of birth makes nobility of life obligatory.
And while you are desiring better things be
encouraged by the thought that there are
many already in the full enjoyment of them.
| The class stood while the speaker addressed
them specially in the following remarks:

That Burnham Crossing.


Maine Central and W. y o. still Fight
ing over 1t.
June 9th IN the supreme court chamber in
Bangor, Mr.. Justice Wiswell sitting, was
heard the case between the Maine Central
and Wiscasset x Quebec railroad companies
on the crossing of the two lines south Of
Burnham.
The w &. Q. wishes to cross at grade but
to this the Name Central nterposes an Oh
lection. demanding an overhead or otler
method of etfecting the junction. The con-
troverSy has at times been hot, and for one
whole night the Maine Central ran train
constantly over the spot IN order to pre-
vent the work of the Wscasset crew, which
was suspected of ying low ready to
make dash over the Maine Centrals
rails.
The hearing on Thursday was coaducT.
ed before Justice Wiswell by Chas F. Wood
ward, Esq. of Bangor, and Hon. E Z. Webb
Of Waterville, FOR the Maine Central, and
Hon. Chas. E. Littlefeldof Rockland, Judge
Warren c. Philhrook oi Waterville and A
NJ. Williams, ESQ of Hartford, Conn for
the w. & Q.
The hearing was opened by Judge Phil
brook. representing the Wiscasset & Quebec
railway. He read the papers served upon
the W. & Q. railway by the Maine Central
The case was reported TO the June term
of the supreme court, full bench to determine
certain legal questions as follows:
Whether under the charter the W & @
has right to cross the Maine Central at all
at Burnham;
Whether, as the road is located to cross
the Maine Central at a certain point and as
the commissioners say that an overhead
crossing is impracticahe the commissioners
have authority to order an overhead crossing
at another point.
The CASE will come back to Judge Wiswell
as to details, the right of exceptions being
waived and his determination being final.

President Not Looking For Peace.

New YORK, June II. A Washington
special to the Herald says There are
abundant evidences in Administration
circles that the President is not seriously
considering the question of peace at
present. On the other hand, it is plain
that Spain is sounding several European
countries as to what can be done in the
direction Of peace. The Presidents S dis
patches to Generals Miles and Shafter
leave no doubt of his determination that
both Cuba and Porto Rico must be evac-
uated by Spain before peace proposi
tinns will be entertained by him. In re-
gard to the Philippines, Gen. Merritt is
quoted as saying: "What the navy has
taken the army will hold" This is re-
garded as an indication that the Philip
pines will also be retained, at least as a
guarantee for payment of indemnity.

is qulescent as to intervention. media

relating to the war.......A bill pro-
viding for the taking of the twelfth
census was passed by the senate June
Sth after debate which occupied the
greater part of three days. ... The Pres-
dent, Friday, granted d pardon to Capt.
John ID. Hart, now serving a sentence of
two years for engaging in a filibustering
expedition to Cuba. The pardon is re-
commended because Hart has been IN

The proper pronunciation is sly. a
communication to Secretary Long from
Admiral Sampson was made public June
1lth, in which Sampson praises in the
highest terms the brave deed Of Lieut.
Hobson and his crew, rvaIlng as he says
the blowing up OF the AlbermaIle by
Gushing. ..... The navy department has
sent orders to Admiral Sampson to notify
Admiral Cervera that, if the latter
destroys his four armored cruisers and
two torpedo boat desloyers to prevent
their falling into oar hands, Spain at the
end OF the war will be made to pay an ad
ditional indemnity at least equivalent to
the value Of these vessels. 1t has been
realized all along that the Spanish admiral,
rather than to permit his tine squadron to
be added to the United States navy,
might at the last moment, when he saw
that further resistance was useless. prefer
to blow them up, perhaps going SO far rs
to carry himself and his men along WI th

The condition of the weather at
Camp is still appropriate to its title,
three days of rain, one of sleet and
three of sunshine compose the make
up of the week just ended.
The regiment has once more settled
down to its routine work, but, because
OF the weather, drilling has been very
light, two drills per day and dress
parade at retreat is the extent of our
duties in that line.
Two paymasters were here last
Tuesday distributing Oct0ber's pay
among the boys, some of whom imme-
diately proceed to try the virtues Of
the noted Blue Ridge booze, conse-
queutly, more than the usual number
of arrests were made. Another pas
day is due next week.
Since the signing OF the Peace
Treaty is so near, the spirits of the
boys are running high, for the gener-
al impression is. that we shall be in
the service only few months.
Mess halls are still incomplete,
though our private quarters have
taken on home-lilSe appearance
made so by the presence of stoves
which are merely sheet-iron tunnels
placed in box of sand with a pro-
longation of stove pipe extending
through the tent.
Our company streets throng with
falsirs OF all kinds, but most con-
| spicuous is the colored woman ex'
tolling in true darby Language, the
