Maine GOSSIP,
Your cress.

Seek not to drop the cross you wear,
Or lay it down: for If yOu do
Another shall be built for you
More difficult and hard to bear.
The cross is always made 10 fit
The back which hears it. BE content
Accept the burden which was sent
And strive to make the hest of it.
Think not how heavy is your load:
Think not how rough the road or long
Look up and say, Lord, l am strong,
And Love makes beautiful the road
Shall live to find his cross some day
Supported all along the way
By angels who are walking near.

German Assurances.

Germany's friendly assurances came
at time when circumstances lent a
good deal of emphasis to them. All
sorts of. rumors~ were afloat the very
day that information was received at
Washington to the effect that Ger
many would withdraw all war ships
from the vicinity of Manila, assuming
that German property there would pc
safe under the protection which would
be afforded by our forces on the is
lands.
AS il that were not enough the an
nouncement is made that Germany will
withdraw for other purposes the war
vessel that has been stationed at
Samoa and entrust her privileges and
rights there to the Americans. On the
day when this sort of assurance Of
friendship and confidence was received
lively rumors were afloat that the Ger
mans at Manila had fired on one of
our war vessels and popular interpre-
tations Of Dewey's call for the Ore
gon were indicative of the deep seated
impression that Germany would do all
which she might dare to embarrass us
in the administration of affairs in the
Philippines. Nor was this impression
unnatural in view of the prevailing be-
lief, not without support, that the
German admiral in command of the
German fleet in the Philippine waters
had from the first assumed a policy OF
"nagging." The fact that Germany,
for no appreciable reason. had kept an
un,luly large part of her navy sta
toned in those waters also lent rea-
sonableness to the theory that she was
only waiting favorable opportunity
to oppose us in every possible way,
though it was doubted, in view of the
attitude of England, if she would care
to go the length of war.
Happily all this apprehension has
been set at rest. True, Germany had
before given assurances, but there re-
manned the suspicion that the German
admiral might have secret instructions
which II made public would be seen to
disagree with diplomatic professions
emanating from Berlin. Now, how
ever. there is such a practical avowal
Of friendship and confidence that it is
no longer permissible to doubt, what
ho I,a
An especially significant fact is the
transference of Germany's interests in
Samoa. There her people and officials
have long maintained Il hostile atti-
tude toward the Americans. and the
trouble is not yet settled. judging from
the latest advices. But we think it will
very clever move. Nothing was to be
gained through an existence of the ir.
ritating conditions. 1t is evident to the
statesmen abroad as well as at home
that we shall take no backward steps
with respect to our new possessions
and taking them from us by force was

perity has surely struck the old town
once more. The business men, grocers,
shoe dealers, druggists, confectioners,
gents furnishers, dry goods dealers, in
fact, every man in business. great and
small, is preparing to do business OH a
large scale once more.
Statesmen and drummers of wholesale
houses coming into the town from now
on will be fairly weighed down with or
ders. Wholesale dealers will be forced
to put on more employees, furnish more
delivery wagons to deliver the goods
ordered by the merchants of the city.
They are preparing to receive the
same. Those owning their own build
ings are giving contracts for charging
their store. Others who rent are fairly
begging on Bonded knee Of their land
lords to do the same. Many are dis
posed to go slowly about these i'm
provements as they want to see whether
or not it viii be necessary.
A petition signed by every business
man will likely be presented to the city
council asking that the sidewalks be
widened, people be made Il clear them
Of ~disgraceful objects, the police force
enlarged in order that business blocks
can be more carefully guarded. and
the volunteer hose company be made a
paid one. and well regulated to make
destruction by fire less possible. All
this is being asked because of the large
influx of people TO the town which will
be brought around by the settlement Of
the street railway strike. The cars
coming into the town will bring peo-
pie from every direction. The Wheel
ing housekeeper when in need of eat
abs, will board a car and come to
Martins Ferry; when in need of a new
silk dress or bonnet. she will do the
same. The Wheeling man in need of
a new hat. shirt. or suit of clothing,
will not be able to resist the old temp
tation Of coming to Martins Ferry.

on Third street, was removed to the
North Wheeling hospital, where he was
operated on for appendicitis. The case
was a very serious one, and the opera
ton performed it can be said was a
very successful one. The patient,
however, was left in a critical
condition, and it will be a few
days before anything definite can be
ascertained by the physicians as to
whether he will survive. From latest
reports yesterday he was resting easy
and doing as well as could be ex-
pected.
