SOUTH RYEGATE.

A very large congregation was pres
ent last Sunday at the Presbyterian
church to listen to Rev. John J. Halls
farewell sermon. Quite a number came
from cut of town and from Ryegate
| Corner. Mr.. Hall has made many
friends in his eight years pastorate
here and in adjoining towns, and peo-
pie regret very much to have him go
away. Last Sunday Rev. Mr.. Jackson
omitted his regular evening service so
that his congregation could have an OPP
portunity of listening to Mr.. Hall.
About IT'S were present in the evening
and about 275 in the morning.
On Wednesday evening reception
was given to Rev. and Mrs. j. j. Hall
at the church yestry which was largely
attended. All manifested their deep
regret in losing such an active and
faithful worker. Rev. Mr.. Jackson
was present and expressed his sorrow
in having Mr.. Hall leave this field of
labor by his touching remarks telling
how pleasant their labor had been to-
gether, and while he was very sorry to
have him go he rejoiced that he was
going to such desirable field of labor
as Providence, r. /.

There are hot many ways open to the
 president of this republic, as he can
 have few dealings with foreign eoun-
 tries or their representatives without
 the consent Of congress. The highest | tribute we can give is a vote of thanks i from congress, butt should siich d vote l be proposed there is the fear that some | demagogue would take advantage of 1 the discussion to offer some insult to France or to reh3sh the cid straw @hiGh was beaten out at the time of
 tAxsar.
 i fEhe president could, with the consent of congress, order the bureau Of en-
 graving and printing to strike eff q geld medal with $500 or $6G0 worth Of gold in it, but there would be the same fear accompanying this proposition as
 the one to extend the thanks Of con-
 gTess to the French ambassador. There
 is one other suggestion that would ac-
 conlPiish the result and which would
 be even more pleasing to the an1bassa-
 dor, doubtless, than Q medal. That is
 to present to M. Cambon Q piece Of sil-
 yer plate, in which work we excel the
 world. The president could do this
 without the consent of congress, and
 the token would be something which ould always be on view and become
 valuable heirloom in the ambassador s family. It would nCG be as expensive as medal designed by an artist of note, and little more than one turned cut from the bureau Of engraving and printing. The presentation of a piece of plate is one of the most popular means abroad of showing appreciation CT some international courtesy. When Nj. ROustand was here as ambassador hA T,;.
 magnificent centerpiece which had been givsn him in Tunis, and which he said was the greatest incentive to con ve-sation, wher guests Of all nations were around his table. The president has funds at his disposal which he would be at liberty to use for the piIr- pose of such p,ece of plate.
 The Spanish government, innedi- ately after the signing Of tlIe protocol. bestowed a decoration on M Cambon, and presented to each member of the French legation a handsome gold medal. The Spanish government paid the same courtesy to the Austrian eTl- bassy and bestowed the highest decor ation in it's gift on President Fau-e. The American government has no dec- orau0ns or hOnOrs to best0w, such as most foreign governments possess, and 4SI C1iSC T6dSOH q FCL5 or iG4ahkS IS re- garGed as of great value to any one se- curing it President Mckinley has al- ready written letters to the president e France, as ne has to English consuls in Spain and Cuba, but this is as far as he felt at liberty to go in the matter,
 But the case Of M Camibon is some what different to that Cf the others, for he performed actual services for our government, no n-l-Lt6T EEiW much he vas the representative of Spain In that capacity he was acting for his gov- but the personal iab0rs he performed demand some recognition from America, just as they did from Srain. The donation Of a piece Of plate to N. Car,non would be pleasing to the French and satisfy our own na- ticnal rride.-From Washington Dis patch.

P1NGREE CHECKS COMMITTEE.

Lansing, Mich, Feb. 14.-The sen ate having appointed a comm. ttee to investigate the expenditures of the ex- ecutive office, Governor Pingree fore stalled the committees action by issuing an address to the people of the state, in which he sets forth in de- tail all the expenditures, as taken from the books of the board Of state audi tors.

DEWEY IS A REPUBLICAN,.
p iC turxsque Definition of a Demo-
 rrat Given By Him Years Ago.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Edson ( Brace of St. Louis, who was chief clerk of the naval bureau of equipment and recruiting while Admiral Dewey (then commodore) was it's chief, has, in { communication to the Washington Post, given some interesting evidence Of the fact that the admiral is and al- ways has been q republican. Mr Brace says:
 "The closest friend the admiral has in the navy is Admiral John G. Walker who, though raised in the west, is an- other type of the extreme abolition re- publicanism of New England, where he was born and partly reared. It was by the personal influence Of Admiral Walker, made effective through his foster brother, Senator Allison, that the then Captain Dewey was made chief of the bureau of equipment and recruiting in the navy department. A number of capable naval officers were making an active search for this choice billet when it became known that Commodore Schley was to quit the shore and command the Baltimore, but Admiral Walker held it open several weeks for his friend Dewey, who was then just returning from the command of the flagship PensalOca, in the Medi terranean, after his memorable and long-drawn-OUt quarrel with Admiral Sam Franklin. Having been until that time chief clerk Of the bureau, I be- came by law the acting chief during this interregnum.
 in due season the new chief came along and took up his duties at the bu- II T served with him there were many op- portunities to study his character and to find out his views, personal, liter ary, and political. I will relate an in ci0ent. One morning the commodore came into my room holding the Wash ington Post before him. He had been reading a report of David B. Hills speech at Grafton, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, I think, in which MT. Hill sought to impress his personality upon the people as a presidential as- pirant by the freUent use of a cabalis- tic phrase I am a democrat.
 T am a democrat" repeated the commodore with the peculiar musing manner he sometimes fell into; his word for it was 'mulling.' What is 8 democrat these days, anyhow? he asked.
  think, to define that at this moment, was the reply of his subordinate.
 Well, I'll tell you what democrat is, said the commodore with some as perity of tone, in time of war a dem ocrat was a damned traitor, in time of peace he is damned fool
 'fBut that was seven or eight years ago. The cOmTnodore's views may have softened with advancing years. always found his opinions, when it came in my way in the incidents Of service to hear them, to be invariably clean cut, and he neve- minced words in making them known. Like most navy men, he expressed himself with strong emphasis. He will swear pie tUTesquely and volubly on occasion, and wholesome vigor may fairly be called the catchwords of his conversa- tion. All his friends know this as well as a good many who are not his friends

BLACKMAILED BY TAMMANY.
Reports That Their Revenue is Kept
 Up By Squeezing Policemen.

New York, Feb. 14.-It has b1e1 common talk in the police departm ent and out of it for months that details and transfers Of policemen are made upon the order, request or suggestion of Tammany district leaders. Ever since the police force has been under the command of Chief Devery it has become more and more demoraI1zad on account of the influence of Tammany politicians.
 Recently charges have been made that the politicians have been Ievying tribute upon the policemen and that there is a regular price for obtaining transfers and details It is declared that in order to keep up the revenue the Tammany leaders in some of the districts cause policemen to be trans ferTed miles away from their homes and the policemen either have to suD- init to exile CT pay to be transferred d back to their former precincts. The price which policeman must pay for the privilege of seeing his family oc- casionally is alleged to be $40 or $5O Details to easy positions without night duty are said to cost a much larger sum.
 Just before the election hundreds of transfers of policemen were made. Since the election the transfers have been continued. The charges that the AOf such transfers to pay regular tribute ko the Tammany politicians are being

CHARGED WITH PLAGIARISM.

Fragrant plagiarism in congress is not common except from public off cial reports, but Senator AIcLaurin ol South Ca olina has been apparently trapped by a member Of the house from his own state. On January 30 while the house was considering the army bill, MT Strait of South Carolina arose in the middle of the debate and said.

SPLENDID sMoKELEss POWDER.
Remarkable Results Attained With the
 New Explosive for the Navy

Washington, Feb. 14.-Naval or nance officers are elate3 over the re- markabIe results secured with the new smokeless navy powder for large cal iber guns in a test a1 the Indian Head proving grounds on the Potomac. An ordinary 13-inch rife of 35 caliber length was used in the trial with the regulation projectile and a charge of 325 pounds Of the lew explosive. A muzzle velocity of 2,500 feet a second was obtained, which far surpasses any result hitherto secured in this country, if net in the world. The superiority of the latest explosive adopted for reg Ul2r service over the brown prisnatic powder, which is the best that has been supplied to American Warsh.ps Up to this time, is clearly sh own by the statement that in the same gun and with the same projectile 2 charge of 525 pounds of powder gave a muzzle velocity of only HOO feet a second. It was this brown powder 5Ihalt Dewey used at Manila on May 1, as well as on August 13 and again yesterday, and which proved so effective on July 8 in the destruction of CeTvera's feet A much greater improvement which will attend the introduction Of high DOW CT smokeless powder into the navy for heavy ordnance will be accoinp- ished when the length of the rifles is increased to 45 c2bilers through the re- duced size of the explosion chamber

 M Cambon's methods are very much those of the American statesman. He is direct, strictly honest and avoids all ambiguous terms. Ills relations with this government were most friendly, too.
