rhe Meeting VIII Continue.

1t had been the intention to dis
continue the meetings at the Baptist
church after last night and begin a
Sunday school institute tonight, but
the interest has been so great and
holds up SO well that it was decided
to continue the meetings. This de-
cision was made last night by the
vote of the congregation. There have
been eleven conversions since the
meetings began. Rev. L. e. Peters
will arrive to-day and he will preach
at the church tonight. The public
is cordially invited to attend. There
will be several of the people who have
been converted baptized at the church
next Sunday.

many of our people who are church
goers as there should be. But with
nine churches we need not expect

1t is said, Lot, that it is an i'll wind
that blows no good to anyone. In
the departure of those old, time-worn
shingles, that old Sol had been pene-
trating with his scorching rays for,
10! these many summers, there was a
purpose. 1t increases the labor and
finance OF the shingle merchant and
maker; it also calls into service the
talent of the carpanter; thus it would
appear as though everything works
for our good. But to this latter part
we must enter protest. 1t was nei

from the clock, a large dictionary,
several gross of pens and mum erous
other small articles of use only to the
owner. This, undoubtedly, was done
by one of the masculine gender, be-
cause we are taught that men love
darkness rather than light, because
of the evilness of their deeds. But
upon calm reflection, with close pur-
suit, it was thought best to return
the dictionary after day and nights
perusal and it was found intact, in
one of the out buildings. Perhaps il
it had been geography by which a
safe course, could have been mapped
out for a successful escape, it never
would have found its way back to the

persons who rob churches, school

only one secure place for such--in the
lake that consumes fire and birthstone.

that direction.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
BattIeship Maine Blown to Pieces
FIany Lives Lost.

One of the greatest disasters ever
experienced by the United States
Navy occurred Tuesday night, when
the great battleship Maine was blown
up by an explosion as she lay in the
harbor at Havana, Cuba AT quarter
before 10 o'clock a terrific explosion
took place, shaking the whole city
and SCATTERING glass for miles around.
Most of the crew were asleep in
their hunks, and, being stunned by
the force of the explosion, were
drowned as the ship slowly sank.
Many of the officers were ashore, and
so escaped. Captain Sigsbee, COM
mander OF the Maine, was unhurt. He
reproted that two officers and 258 oil
the crew were lost.
The cause of the explosion is not
definitely known, but it is believed to
have been an accident on board the
MdlnS hSloSll. OuA SONCI ubIhl i1
satisfied that no Spanish official had
anything to do with it. 1t may pos.
sihly have been caused by the con.
spitacy of hotheaded persons who
hate the United States, but this is
improbable 1t was undoubtedly an
accidental occurrence.
The Maine which is regarded as a
total loss, cost s., 500, 600. She was a
battleship OF the second-class one Of
the best ships in the new navy. She
was built in 1888 at the Brooklyn
navy yard, and was 318 feet long, 81
feet breadth, 2I6 feet mean draught
and 6,6S2 tons displacement, carried
four ten-inch and six six-inch breech
loading guns in her main battery and
seven six. Founders and eight one
pound rapid. fire guns and four Cat
lings in her secondary battery, and
four Whitehead torpedoes. She left
Key West for Havana on January "a,

Cuban capital having been made on
the same day.
