The Young Queen of the Netherlands.

On August 81, 1898, a young girl in Hol-
land celebrated her eighteenth birthday.
Six days later, in royal robes, seated on
throne erected in the ''Keuwe Kerk,"
in Amsterdam, she took the oath which
made her Queen of the Netherlands. Not
since the coronation of Queen Victoria of
England, sixty years ago, has a young girl
come to throne; and as Victoria was, 50
is Wilhelmina: charming, brilliant, and
thoroughly feminine woman, and with
great possibilities in prospect, although
her kingdom is so much smaller. Her
full name is Wilhelmna Helena Paulina
Maria. The hereditary name, Wilhelmina
to her, as she comes Of long line of Will
liams, or Wilhelms, in direct descent from
William of Nassau. She is the daughter
of William Ill, King of the Netherlands,
who died November %, 1890, and Emma,
Princess of Waldeck and Pyrlpont.

BANGOR, Me, Sept. 20. The Maine
Temperance Union opened in Bangor on
Tuesday forenoon with several hundred
delegates in attendance. Mrs. L. NJ. N.
Stevens, president of the State union, and
place of Miss Willard, opened the conven-
ton and made long address of welcome
to the delegates.
The executive committee named Miss
Et1ie NJ. Littlefield of Winterport secre-
tary pro TEN, in place of Mrs. Sarah L.
Cram, whose illness prevents her from be-
ing in attendance. The committee also
took action looking to a uniform date for
holding the annual meetings of local
unions throughout the State.
At night there was great audience in
the Central church to hear the addresses
of welcome to the convention.
The speakers were, for the city, Dr. d.
A. Robinson; for the churches, Rev. E. f.
Pember; for the Y. Nj. c. A., Secretary
Robert A. Jordan; for the local ". c. L.
o., its president, Mrs. II. A. Whitman;
for the Bangor Woman's Crusade, Mrs.
l.. J. Wheeldep.
DR.. Robinson said that it might be bet
ter to have only laws that could be strict
ly and impartially enforced in all parts of
the State, and suggested that it was hard
for people to see the justice or wisdom of
a law under which rich man could have
a barrel of beer in his cellar while poor
man who bought a single glass of beer at
bar thus became party to a crime.
MI. Pember replied with considerable
warmth to Dr.. Robinson, saying that the
ten commandments We're frequently brok-
en-, yet no one had ever suggested that the
commandments ought not to exist.
The Maine law, he declared, was all
right, and it was the people who We're to
blame because it was not enforced.
BANGOR, Sept. u. The second day of
the Maine ". c. T. U. convention opened
with a very large number of women in at
tendance at Central church. Early in the
forenoon the credentials committee re-
ported about 220 delegates present.

Soon after the arrival of Padre Sanvi-

The padre, in his Jealous enthusiasm be-
gan by baptizing the natives by force. They
believed that the water used in tha cere-
mony was poisoned and that those baptized
died from the effects Of 1t. This belief rose
from the circumstance of the missionaries
giving preference In baptism to sick and
weakly persons. The result was a general
uprising of the natives in which the padre
was killed while in the act of baptizing a
child. His memory is stin cherished, how

Primitive Customs

The natives have retained the habits Of
the most primitive people in the prepara-
tion of their food. AT several houses we
found native women threshing rice, which
is raised in small patches on the island
and forms one of the staples of diet. In or
der to accomplish the work they use a
mortar and pestle not unlike those found
among the American Indians, except that
the vessels are of wood instead of stone,
A double handful of rice as ii is raked from
the stalk, is poured into the mortar and
pounded until the grain is separated from
the husk. 1t is then winnowed in a cloth
or sieve until the chaff is cleaned out. I
watched the preparation of a MONDAY meal

Bloodless Capture of Guam
On the morning of June 21st the eastern
end of the island of Guam was sighted.
Here it was expected would be found
small Spanish gunboat and some land for
titications which Captain Glass had orders
to destroy. On nearing the island the
Charleston took the lead and the trans

City of Sydney, fell into Inc with the
Sydney in the rear. The Charleston pro-
ceeded directly into the harbor through
narrow channel, She was fortunate in
having on board a pilot who was formerly
captain of whaler and familiar with the
harbor. An old fort built on a rock that
was surrounded by water could be seen a
the end of the bay. When the Charles on
was two miles off she opened with several
of her guns on the fort and the clouds Of
debris that were sent into the air showed
that the aim had been effective. To the
surprise of our men the fort made no reply

when Padre Sanvtores began preaching
the gospel to the natives. At the time the
population of the islands was considerable
being estimated at from 10000 to 100000.
The padre in his letters says that in the
first year he baptized $4,000 persons and
mentions $50 towns In the island of Guam

On Shore at Surnai
The natives seemed delighted to see US.
They laughed and chartered in the most
toyous and simple-mnded way. Most OF
them speak a little English and all under
stand Spanish, SO that we had no trouble
conversing with them. They said the last
American vessel to visit the island was a
whaler that put in at the harbor three
years ago. When asked IL they were glad
to see the Spaniards taken away they
nodded their heads and said they liked the
Americanos.
As soon as we got ashore many OF the ma.
tives hurried to their cocoanut groves ana
banana plantations back of the village, and
a few minutes later trudged down bearing
their arms full Of bananas, green cocoa
nuts, bread fruit, lemons, plantains, pine-
apples and other tropical fruits.
Many of the houses were built of coral
stones and had thatched roofs of palm and
cocoanut leaves. There were board floors
in all the houses, which usually contained
two rooms and lean-to used as a kitchen.
Most of the houses were scrupuously clean
The men were barefooted, and wore only
rial. The women were also guiltess of
shoes, and wore loose Mother Hubbard
dresses, cut very low in the neck, which
seems to be the fashion prevailing on the
island. The little children ran around az
naked as on the day they were born.
Everywhere the natives received us with
expressions of delight. AT one Of the first
houses we visited a young girl treated us all
to a glass of tode, which is the native bev-
erage. 1t is made of fermented cocoanut
juice. and contains a large percentage Of
