sOusn Must Pay Up.

The suit OF Mrs. Ada P. Blakely, ad-
ministratrix of David Blakely. deceased,
against John Philip Sousa, the famous
compositor and bandmaster, has been
terminated by decision of common
pleas court sustaining the report of the
referee, who recommended that Mr. Sousa
account to Mrs Blakely for all moneys
received by him for the sale of musical
compositions, surrender to her the must
cal library in his possession and account
for the use OF it from May %, 1897.
The referee also decided that the Blakelv
estate had the right, without regard for
the duration OF time, to one.half of all the
royalties which would be earned from
Sousas musical compositions, provided
that such compositions were made prior
to Mr.. Blakely's death.
AS to whether the Blakely estate had
an exclusive right to the use OF Sousa' &
name, the refere found in Mr.. Sousa's
favor, on the ground that it would be
against public policy to permit any band
not conducted by Mr.. Sousa to be called
Sousa's band, as such name might mis-
lead the public.
The case has been in litigation for
more than two years.

AS Seen in China.

We receive regularly through the
courtesy of Frank E. Lewis of
Shanghai, a former st. Johnsbury Y.
M. c. A. secretary, the Shanghai
Mercury and the following under
date of June 9 shows how the situa-
ton is viewed in that Oriental city.
"There arrived from Manila via Hong
kong on Friday night 35 American Off
GERS and soldiers who are on their way
home. They are not at all sorry to be
leaving the p |. In short chat on the
Bund on Saturday they volunteered the
statement that the end of the business is
not in sight, that there is a prospect OF
from five to ten years solid fighting ere
the Fiiplnos will give way. The health
OF the troops is generally good. Plenty
of Americans and Englishmen are arriv-
ing daily and starting in business or
otherwise, chiefly otherwise. The Ameri-
can Peace Commissioners are having a
very good time of it and do not seem
anxious to complete their labours, which,
as matter OF tact, are as far off compile
ton as ever, as the Filipinos most dog
gedly hold out. There is no doubt that
American vigilance is not sharp enough,
for the Filipinos are constantly receiving
large consignments of Mauser rifles and
ammunition from some where, believed
to be from Shanghai"
While this does not agree with the
opinion of ex Minister Barrett of
Siam, as quoted in last weeks GALE
DOMAIN. the last statement is repeat
edly confirmed in the news columns
OF the Mercury. Our navy has not
succeeded in stopping the consign-
ments of rifles and here is a constant
source of danger.

Answering an Invitation 10 Visit

citizens of Montpelier to visit this city
on his arrival home:-

"Mayor John H. Senter, Montpelier,
W.T.
Dear Sir-I have the pleasure to &C.
knowledge the receipt Of your letter Of
June 80, in which you so cordially ex-
tend, on behalf of the citizens of Mont
pelier, an invitation to visit Montpelier,
the place of my birth, upon my arrival in
the United States. Will you have the
kindness to convey to the council and
the citizens an expression Of my high APP
probation of the honor which Montpelier
has done me in thus wishing to enter
tain me, and make my return home
memorable?
ut would give me much pleasure to
meet my old friends and townsmen, and
it is with regret that cannot accept the
invitation for any definite time. 1t is
my hope to soon visit Montpelier, but
owing.to the fact that l am a member
of the Philippine commission, which will
meet this tall in Washington, my pre-
sence there will be necessary, and for
other good reasons deem it unwise to
bind myself by definite engagements.
Thanking you personally for the kind
expressions in your letter, am, very
sincerely, GEORGE DEWEY"
Charles Dewey has received two letters
from Admiral Dewey, his brother, dated
at Trieste July 16 and 81. The former
contains nothing of public interest. but
the letter dated July 81 the admiral says
he expects to reathNew York by Septem.
Der 80. The Olympia will be stationed
at Tompkinsville, near Staten Island.
Alter his New York reception the ad.
miral will go direct to Washington to
pay his respects to the president and
secretary OF the navy and to receive the
sword voted him by Congress. Owing
to his present impaired health the adj
miral was unable when this letter was
written, to make further plans. During
his stay in Washington, should a meet
ing of the Philippine commission be called
there by the president, it might delay
Admiral Dewey at Washington longer
than he expects, but, barring Unforeseen
circumstances, his family expect to SET
him in Montpelier by October 10.

To Create a Missionary Interest.

Do not let each meeting stand by
itself, but plan at the beginning of
the year for all the years missionary
meetings, so that they may form a
connected series.
A good series would be one meeting
for each great mission field of your
denomination, or one meeting for
each great mission country of the
world or six meetings on the six
greatest missionaries of the worlds
history, or alternate meetings on
home and foreign missions, or one
meeting for each missionary board of
your denomination
No missionary zeal without informa-
ton. Divide among the members the
subject you wish to treat, and let each
be responsible for the best treatment
he can give his theme. If. for in
stance, you study China on a certain
evening, let one member talk five
minutes on Chinese customs. Assign
to others two-minute essays on Chin
csc education, the size of the country,
its products, its religions, its govern
ment. Give to others the chief mis-
sionaries, and ask each to speak about
one
Missionary meetings are never of
much value without maps and dfa-
grams. Homemade maps are often
the best
The committee should collect clip
pings on missions, and missionary GU
riosities, portraits Of missionaries, pic
lures and photographs Of all kinds
that will ADD interest 10 missionary
meetings.

Put missionary biographies in the
Sunday school library, and pass them
around among the Endeavorers to
read. Keep a record of how many
you can induce to read them.
Divide the society into mission
bands, with leaders, one band for each
country. These bands are to study
their countries, and each to be respon-
sible for one meeting in the course OF
the year on the country its members
have studied
Spend part of the time at each mis-
sionary meeting in reading short mis-
cellaneous missionary items, which all
are expected to bring.
Give an occasional missionary social
based on some missionary land, with
the costumes, food, games, etc., of that
land.

The Mahogany Market.

Speaking of the business of cutting
mahogany timber in Central America,
q writer in the New York Times says:
1.-The relative cheapness of mahogany
logs is making revolutions in furniture
manufacturing. The sailing vessels
and steamers engaged in the trade are
more numerous than ever before, and
each steamer may bring 100000 feet of
mahogany logs to New York, and the
sailing vessels from 100000 to 100000
feet. The Central American forests
are not being ruthlessly destroyed as
are many of our American woods. In
Central America, where the forests are
controlled by Americans, two trees are
planted for every one cut. This wise
policy insures a permanency OF supply
that practically makes the wood mex
haustible. The trees cut for this ma
hogany trade average 25 inches in Gi-
ameter, and run up to 40 inches" Two
trees are planted for every one cut in
Central America. In the south mill
lions of valuable timber trees are cut
annually and none are planted. We
have much to learn evidently from the
Central Americans and other peoples
about the rational care of our natural
resources.
