Hon. $ w. Carr has returned from
South Berwick, where he has been in
veStigating the cause Of the burning Of
the Florence J. Knight buildings. 4
week ago. II has been commonly re-
ported that there was n connection be
tween the burning of those buildings
and the murder committed. month
ago. Mr.. Carr says that the people Of
that place are in a state Of excitement
and believe that everything hinges
around the murder. The fact that one
of the members Of the coroner'S jury
was injured and the many other things
that have happened in that section ar"
all attributed to Divine intervention by
the people of that section. The inveS-
legations IF Mr.. carr ana County At
torney Matthews showed that there
was no connection between the murder
and the fire. The fire inquest is adj
journed until July H. as Mr. Carr is
very busy With other matters.

The Woodstock Almshouse Petticoat
Has Become Famous.
"Malbrouck sen va-t-en-guerre," ac-
cording to the old French song-which
was written to celebrate the v%alorous
achievements of the first duke OF
Marlboro and his young duchess
will have to stay at home in England
with the babes, while his grace is
shooting Beers, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Her grace
Consuelo is a devoted mother, and her
two boys occupy the most charming
suite of rooms in the palace of Blen-
helm; they are as closely guarded
from amateur photographers as from
kidnappers, and on show days." when
the palace is open to the public, they
are wheeled about the kitchen gardens
in their. blue and white perambula-
tors. On other days their nurses take
them for long 1aunts in the $50 acres
of private grounds which surround the
palace, and to the various schools and
institutions of which the young
duchess is patroness. The Woodstock
almshouse petticoat has become ia
nous since Consuelo came to Blen-
helm. Hitherto the red flannel gar
ments worn by the women inmates of
the almshouse had measured three
yards round. Consuelo heard that new
clothing would not be despised by the
paupers, and she had ten petticoats
made. Five and a half yards. of fan
mel were used in each garment.

is only one opinion on the matter at
Shiloh. That is entire and implicit
belief. Furthermore, a dozen or so of
the elders were in the room with Mr.
Sanford when the alleged miracle was
wrought.
In the section round about Shiloh
there are all sorts of expressions. The
clergymen of Lewiston and Auburn
have preached sermons on the matter,
for it has excited much religious in
terest in these two cities. These cler-
gymen have been interviewed. All OF
them state their conviction that Mr..
Sanford is sincere but misguided.
When the expression of these opinions
was laid before Mr. Sanford he said:
These men, though honest in their
intent, do not believe that God can do
this. They practically say so. There
fore it will never fall within their ex-
perience to witness such manifesto
tons of the power of the Holy Ghost.
For if God should answer doubt with
success He would be putting a pre-
MUM on unbelief, and practically de-
throning faith. They who did not see
this thing stand counter to many
other worthy Christians here who did
see it. l never enter into controver-
sizes with the churchmen. 1 have no
patience with hair splitters. l don't
preach. l practice. And, therefore,
the Holy Ghost does by me as He
agrees in His Book to do by every man
who will follow out His commands,
not in their own roundabout way, but
in His direct path. Let us be cau-
tious how we strive to make God out a
liar"

Astounding Claims Of One E. w. Sand.
ford to Supernatural Power.

She was on her bed, where she had
been confined for several days. The
smell of death vas in the room. Her
jaw had dropped and her eyes were
uprolled and staring. Those who were
about the bedside told me she had
quivered and passed away. There was,
so far as could judge, not a sign of
heartbeat, no pulsation, no evidence of
breathing.
"'Oh, God, give her back to me?' 1
cried.
Then I knelt by the side of the bed
and prayed in a whisper. l prayed as
it seemed l had eve prayed before.
l told God what He already knew, that
l had left all to follow His Son, that l
had given up all in life that other
men live and strive for, that l had
allowed myself to be called a fool for
His sake, that l had tried to walk as
closely to Him as mortal could. l had
observed all his commandments, even
to the giving no thought to the NOR
row, extending ungrudging. hospital
ity, praying, fasting, and doing all the
works that He has asked as evidence
OF the true and contrite heart.
LAS prayed there with the people
about me, and the m%otionless form on
the bed, there came into my mind as
though some kind angel whispered
them these words from the gospel Of
John:
Verify, verify, l say unto you, he
that believeth on me, the works that
| do he shall do also; and greater
works than these shall he do, because
l go unto my Father. And whatso-
ever We shall ask in my name, that
will 1 do, that the Father may be glor-
flied in the Son. If We love me keep
my commandments
"I have kept Thy commandments
I said. I have believed on Thee, not
with the mere belief that there was
once such a man as Jesus Christ, but
with all the dread and awful signif-
of the great word "belief." 1
believe not in Christ as a historical
parsonage, but as a present help in
time of trouble
"And as I prayed thus there came to
me the consciousness that God was
hearing me with the intent to grant
my prayer.
Il stood up beside that bed of death.
1 placed my hand on the brow of that
woman. l cried with the perfect con-
adence of faith and almost without
volition on my part:
"'In the name of Jesus of Nazareth,
Olive Mills, come back!!'
"There was then no entreaty, no
supplication for her to come back
it was command-and she came!
"In a little while her eyelids COM
menced to twitch, her lips to f1utter,
her breast to heave. She was with us
again. In an hour she was sitting up
in bed and a little after she was down
in my Office telling me her wonderful
story. I had hardly dared realize un-
til then that in reality this woman had
been in the hands of death.

perienced I was in no mood to with
stand the commands of God. So l
went back into my body. I have but
family and Vaguely recorded my inn
pressions. I have not the power of
language to tell you Of the wonderful
sensations-to make you realize all the
experience. But what I have told you
is true. My sister came down to Shi-
lob to see how much Of my recovery
was faith and how much was fact, and
she found that faith was fact"
To the two hundred apostles and
students at Shiloh Miss Mills has re-
lated this story in detail, standing be.
fore them in the temple at n OF the
regular services Of the day. Nearly
all the inmates Of Shiloh have talked
with ser and have heard her wonder
full narrative again and again. There
