Repairing.
A.E. BASS.
BROKEN BRIC-A-BRAC

Mr.. Major the famous cement man OF New York,
explains some very interesting facts about Major
Cement
The multitudes who this standard article
know that Il is many hundred per cent better than
other cemeuts for which similar claims are made,
bat great many do not know why. The simple
reason 4 that Mr.. Major uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers do not
use them. because they are too expensive and do
not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one 81 the elements Of his cement costs S3.15 a
large share OF the s0-called dement's ana liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more than six
tsen-cent glue, dissolved in water OF Ctric acid,
and IN some cases, altered snEntly in color and
odor BY the addition Of cheap and useless mate
rails.
Majors cement retdis at fifteen cents and TWEEN
i've cents bottle and when a dealer tries 90 sell a
substitute you can depend upon 10 that his only
object is TO make larger profit
The profit on Majors cement IS as much as any
dealer ought 90 make on any cement And this Is
d0ubly true iu view Of the fact that each dealer
gets his share Of the benefit OF Mr. Majors adver-
Using, which now amounts to over 5000 month,
throughout the country. Established In 1870.

Fryeburg, August 14.-The entertain
ment given by the Ainsworth company
last evening proved to be an enjoyable
one and included many features new
at Chautauqua. Miss Ainsworth gave
several songs illustrated with descrip-
tive views and also appeared in scarf and
drapery transitions, which shown with
colored and electric lights were very
effective. She was the centre Of the little
group of artists who gave her able sup
port The readings of Miss WEIGH with
the piano solos and accompaniment
contributed by Miss Mllliken, made a
delightful programme ana all are anUlcl-
pating much pleasure when they appear
again on Wednesday evening.
The AinsWOrth company has nSver been
in this part of New England before ana
Chautauqua is indeed fortunate in secur-
ing such talent.
DR.. A bbott's topic this afternoon was
1.-The Spiritual History of the Bible "
The first time the effect of this book
as a book was seen in the time shortly
after Manassah' S reign. Later IN their
exile this book is what keeps the He
brew people together. With the life which
this book imparts they are supported.
Then the great Messiah comes and full
Ills this book, disclOses it. To the Old
book a new book has been added, but 1t Is
the same message it brings, God IN
His world. Centuries later it is buried
by paganism, but 1t comes to light and
wherever it is an open book today that
nation Is an enlightened and civilized
one. The new criticism Is reOpening the
book, IS sending men to the book to read
for themselves.
The subject of the last lecture tOmar-
row is Why Believe in the BiDle.''
Audiences at Chautauqua are increased

the rebels from the surrounding hills.
The third Is without any native tnhabi

French first class battleship Bronnus,
flagship of Vice Admiral Fournier, which
sank the torpedo boat stroyer France
Saturday night during the manoeuvres
of the French fleet Off Cape ST. Vincent,

version of the circumstances in which the
destroyer was lost.
According to their account the France
approached the Bronnus at a speed Of six
teen knots to receive an order for the
cruiser Foure. Seeing that he had gone
too near, the captain of the France told
the helmsnan to steer to the left, but his
order was misunderstood. The France
was not cut in twain, but was thrown on
her side. Captain Mauduit de Plessix

THE BRAVE JAPS.
Most at Credit for Capture of Peitsang
Due To Them.

Copyright 1900, The Associated Press
Shanghai, Monday. August 13--The
following despatch has been received
from tue Associated Press correspondent
with the allied forces, dated Peitsang,
August 5, and forwarded by mail to Che
Foo and Shanghai:
'sThe glory of today's lighting belongs
to the Japanese. They did all the harder
lighting. The Americans we're in reserve
and hal no casualties. The Japanese,
advancing across the plain. had no shell
ter and hanked the Chinese from their
strong mud walls and trenches extending
Ave miles. The magnificent Japanese
cavalry charge resulted in the capture OF
ten field guns. The Chinese retreat was
orderly and they left but few dead on the
field The correspondent of the Associated
Press counted 200 dead or wounded Jap
anesa. The British loss was two men
killed and a few wounded.
'tIhe British naval brigade guns an d
two big Russian guns had an engage
ment with the Chinese guns, which re-
suited in silencing the latter.
''The Russians found tho plains east Of
the river flooded and Joined the main
army west of it

pressed for the transport service of the
allies, including all wagons and rick
shaws drawn by coolies.

FROM MISSIONARIES.
Letters From China All Tell One
Story.

New York, August 14-Robert e.
Steer, one OF the secretaries of the Pres
byterian missions, today received several
letters from missionaries IN China and
Japan. The following is an extract from
the communication written by Rev. j.
A. Fish, dated Nagasaki, Japan, July
%:
ga number of the out-stations of my
field have been looted. A native pastor
and a native doctor and a student have
been almost beaten to death because
they refused to recant. Word Of our
Canadian Presbyterian friends is to the
effect that in escaping to Yant Isl from
Ma Nan, they were stripped or everything
by robbers. There must be many lives
in danger in far western China, persons
so distant that it would take one or two
months for the news to come in. The
strain on accommodation caused by the
influx of refugees is putting up the price
of board to fabulous figures. AT the
Nagasaki hotel board is reported $21 per
day. No word comes from Pekin and
PaO Ting Flu. We hear of wholesale
slaughter of Christians in Chi LII Prov
ince.''
Under date of Canton, July IS, Rev.
Henry b. NOyes writes:
$50 long as the viceroys of eleven prov
inces stand by present agreement to
aDlde by the breaGleS, prOtecb foreigners
and refuse allegiance to Tuan, the rebel
prince, it does not 10 ok to me probable
that there viii be war in South China
1t seems to me that it will be to the in
terest of foreign nations as we'll as the
vioeroys to cOnnne their military opera
tions to North China, If this is done L
would hope that our work in South
China would not be seriously affected. -
1.-The Rev. d. N. Lyon writes from 500
Chow on july 30 saving that DIR. Park
and he were the only male missionaries
left there. The local officials wished
them to remain. Mr.. Lyon adds:
II was constrained to offer nv services
to our consul general to help in the
campaign against the Empress Dowager,
but whether / would be more of a him
drance than a help may be a question"
