RECENT DEATHS.
LYMAN p. ARBoTT.

Lyman +. Abbott, for MANY years az
ricultural editor Of the Lewiston Jour
nal, died at his home 10 Lewiston Sstur'
day evening. March 3lst. He had beer
IN with what WAS called slow fever
for some time, but WAS thought 10 b,
improving, and the end came very sud
denly and unexpectedly.
Mr. Abbott was native OF Andover
where he was born 10 1880. He resided
In Andover, engaged Ia farming, until hi
VAS % years Of age. In 1856 he married
Clara Howe OF Rumford, who died few
years later, leaving no children.
He then removed 10 Wilton, where hs
WAS engaged In farming and trading
seventeen wears. While In Wilton he
married Julia f. Woodward, who sur
wives him. One son, now In the Lewis
ton high school, also survives him, a:
we'll as two adopted children, and one
brother, "A resident of Andover.
He was ALWAYS thorough student OF
agricultural topics, aud while living In
Andover commenced writing on those
topics for the Oxford Democrat. Later
he began writing for the Lewiston
Journal, and In lSS2 became agricultural
editor OF that paper and continued In
that position 10 the time of his death
He was well informed on all Agricultural
topics In all branches of the work, and
was busy worker and an earnest
student.
Mr.. Abbott was personal scqua,nt.
ance OF several representatives OF the
Democrat. having been met frequently
at the Oxford County fairs. He i'm
pressed AL who met him with his hon
esty. his industry, his thoroughness, and
his uusssuming, kindly and genial
presence. We shall miss him at the
fairs this fall.
JOSEPH W. HOLDEN.
A unique character was removed from
earth In the death Of prof" Joseph
W. Holden Of Otisfield. As few In this
part OF the state need TO be told, his
principal business In life for some years
has been 10 convince the world that the
earth il fat, and that the sun, moon and
stars revolve around il. He took every
opportunity 20 argue in behalf OF his pc,
theory, and even sought opportunity,
sometimes al greater expense OF time to
his auditors than they really cared 10
expend. But he wss genial and kindly,
and never made enemies. Although
astronomy" was his hobby, he had pro-
nouuced views on other topics. His pc
culisri,ies won him, st the close Of every
.'lecture," nearly or quite unanimous
vote that he had proved his theory, and
this form OF endorsement was Away:
particularly gratifying TO him.
He was some over eighty years OF age
aud at one time possessed very com
Portable competence, some Of which was
lost several years ago. though there may
be q small residue. In his will he pro-
vides for the erection Of monument Il
himself which shall perpetuate the rec.
objection OF his hobby.

LOVE THE BIRDS.
To the Editor Of The Press,


The "AppeAl to Bird Lovers" pub
lished In the PRESS Of Saturday morn
ing, should recsivs the thoughtful sttsn-
ton Of every woman who reads It 10 Is
. disgraee to the whole sex that vanity
and subssrvenos in fashion should caHss
such wanton destruction of life, imperil
the sanitary and AGRICULTURAL interests
Of the nation and deprive country and
seaside Of one of their greatest charms.
The organized movement for the pro :
tsotion OF our birds should receive
prompt and hearty support, but 1t L.
still more important that women, as In
dividuals, should adopt the cause
dictated alike by common sense and or
binary humanity, sni should wear no
feathers except those of ostriches and
barnyard fowls. making their isteFmi-
nation perfectly plain to their milhners.
Irreparable harm has already been done.
but let us at least do our best TO cheek
the evil for the future.

There can he uttle doubt that vixen
kruger asked Of Lord salisbury the
terms uron which peace would be made,
he expected no other answer than the one
he got. 1t is certainly vastly impIoha-
Bile that he oould have dreamed even Of
settling the war on the,haBis Of the stltus
quo snte-bellum. When he issued his
ultimatum to England he must have real
lied that the defeat Of the Boers meant
their subsection to such terms as the Eng
lish might see fit to impose and thst one
Of them would certainly be complste polit-
ical control OF the country by this British
governMsnt, which, II course. would bs
tE0om patible with Independence. Why
then did he formally ask the question?
There can be only one rational answer.
He asked 1t to stimulate the Beers to
continued resistance. UnqusstionAbly
when he asked 1t the Beers were down
hearted. Cronje and his army had Just
been captured ty General Roberts, and
the road to the Bres State capital was
wide open and unobstrueted. Something
must be done to IRE the hearts Of his peo-
pie or resistance to the British would col
lapse completely. He got the best thing
possible for that pu rpose when he got
Lord Salisbury reply that peace could
be secured only ut the price Of political
extinction. Political Independence Is
dear to the heart Of every one Of his peo-
pie. Yesrs ago their ancestors had
trekked into the wilderness to escape
from British rule and secure freedom, and
they valued 1t almost a. much as they
valued their lives. Their whole history
has bean the history OF . struggle to main
tain Independence. sometimes against
thssavages with whom they were SUIT
rounded and sometimes against the Eng
1ish. salisbury's reply inspired every one
Of them with the feeling that their fight
was one for liberty and Independence.

CLOTHING THE LITTLE ONES.
Some interesting Relief Work Being Car
red On in Houston.

Though nineteen days have passed since
the Texas coast was swept by the storm
OF September s. scores OF Houston people
are sull very busy with the relief work,
clothing the naked. feeding thu hungry
and caring for the INDECENT
The settegast building on Main street
Is as animated as a bee hive. Dozens Of
young LADIES'. middle-aged ladies ana ell
derby ladies are yleing with each other in
a work for humanity. Garments are be-
ing made for children. shoes are being
ing provided for refugees and sufferers
ing provided for refugees and suGtrers
from the storm outside OF Harris county.
This work is under the direction OF Mrs.
Rosiho Ryan. chairman OF the committee.
and she is being assisted by noble corps
Of Houston ladies' These busy workers
occupy the settegast building on Main
street and the interior of the building
has the appearance of workshop and
clothing store combined. and the amount
of work done there is wonderful. The
wants OF 400 70 500 people are supplied
there daily and the requirements range
from an infants garment to suit OF
clothing Several sewing machines arc
kept going from morning till night by
the good ladies OF Houston. who flock
in to add their efforts to the relief Of
the storm stricken. From eighty to 100
childrens garments are made every day,
and by this means hundreds OF children
are being clothed, Clothing for small
children. except the finer grades, is not
carried in stock very extensively by mer-
chants and it did not take much OF a de-
mand to absorb all OF the suitable ready
made infants clothing In Houston; hence
to make it was the only thing loft. This
the ladies are doing with much labor and
sacrifice to themselves.
