At special meeting of the Maine Life
Underwriters Association, Saturday, the
following resolutions were adopted:
Portland, Me-, june y, 1900.
Once more ara we called to remember
that .'our days are as the grass or like
the morning flower. To-day it fiourisheth
and groweth up and tomorrow 1t Is cut
down and withereth."
To-day a man fiourisheth and beareth
the honors of life thick upon him; to-
mourn the loss.
Yesterday, as il seems to us, our broth
er, Charles IL. Peterson, walked In and
out before us in apparent robust healtn
and strength; today he lies low and
sleeps that sleep from which there Is no
eathly awakening. But we know ne
will awake and will live in that land
beyond, where no death comes and where
the sad words, Goodbye" are never
heard.
Resolved: That whereas Our Heaven
ly Father has again visited our associ-
alton, and by the relentless hand OF death
has removed our friend and brother,
Charles III. Peterson, we meekly bow our
heads In submission to the Divine Will
which we must obey but cannot under
stand.
Resolved: That our city has lost val
liable citizen and the social sphere In
which he moved, a member loved, re
spected and esteemed by all whose bust
ness or social relations brought them In
contact with him.
tResolved: That our association, as
well as the entire life insurance interests
of the state, suffers a serious loss in the
death of MIR. Peterson and that the com
pany of which he was the very eficient
manager, loses worthy officer and one
whose place it win be hard to fill as he
filled 1t.
Resolved: That, MS we meet from
month to month, we shall sadly miss
brother Peterson bright and ever cheer
full countenance as also his words oi
wisdom, 80 often heard at our meetings.
He almost always had something TO say
and what he said always meant some
thing, and to listen carefully to Mr. fet-
erson's words was to learn something.
Resolved: That we extend TO his young
wife, on whom this crushing blow has
fallen In the early morning OF her welded
life and to all the members OF the ainlct-
ed family, our heartfelt sympathy In this
their terrible bereavement and commend
them prayerfully to the mercy OF Him
who has promised to wipe the blinding,
Borrowing tears from the eyes Of all who
will in their hour of trial, call upon Him
in faith.
Resolved: That copy Of these resolu-
tions be sent to the family of the deceased
and that copy thereof be furnished the
press, and also, that copy be filed with
the records Of the Maine Life Underwrft-

Nothing From Roberts
For Three Days.
War ONCE Forced to C0nclu-
sion War Isn't Over.

London, June 11.-3.30 a.m.-The Beers
have torn up twenty-one miles OF Lord
Roberts vital line of railway between
America Siding and Roodeval. It Is
hold raid and vexatious, but it does not
disquiet the military authorities as yet,
for they expect General kelly-Kenny to
drive OF the marauders and reopen the
line. The rapidity of the advance OF Lord
Roberts cannot have permitted him to
accumulate large reserves of stores.
Therefore, an interruption of the railway,
even for a week must embarrass the army
and may bring the forward operations TO
a standstill.
Nothing has been heard from Lord
Roberts for three days. This raid on the
railway, the strenuous opposition to Gen.
Rumble, and the nimble escape of Com
mandant General Botha's division forced
the war office observers to the reluctant
conclusion that the war is not yet over,
although even the occasional civilian Boer
sympathizer cannot see how the Beers
will be able to do anything to change the
result General Butler is in Boer terri
tory. Dispatches of correspondents with
him, filed yesterday at sunset, describe
the corps as camping at Gansolei, close to
the point where the frontiers of the Free
State, the Transvaal and Natal meet.
1.-The British marched eight miles yes
terday." says a Reuter- correspondent,
before encoutering any opposition. The
Beers. who had one gun, withdrew under
heavy ordnance fire to a ridge just ahead
OF the camp"
This long range, running skirmish will
doubtless be renewed this morning.
General Butler is expected to make rapid
progress now and to throw the weight of
20. 900 men into Lord Roberts Transvaal
combinations
1.-The fighting on June 9th in which
there were fewer than 20 casualties was
kept up all day long. The British attac X
ing line three miles in length, made its
way amid the precipitous hills. A Boer
gun ON Spitz Kop, fired shrapnel rapidly
at a range of 400 va rds, at the British
right flank, but every shell was buried
in the ground before bursting.
General Rundles and General Bra
bant's divisions are still at Hammonia,
in the Ficksburg district. The latest in
telligence from their headquarters is that
the Beers are determined to fight to the
bitter end. They are concentrating four
Thousand men around Bethlehem. The
country between them and General
bundle is mountainous and exceedingly
difficult for military operations. General
BUNDLES present care Is to prevent the
Beers getting past him southwark. Major
Wood of Rundle's staff, rode to a Boer
outpost on June and announced that
Pretoria had been occupied by the British.
How the Beers received the news is not
recorded. Altogether 600 Beers have sur
rendered to General Rumble.
General Hunters advance has occupied

toria This took place on June It'll. Gen
eral Plumer's column is on the Glands

A POOR KITTEN.

A crowd gathered about the bog which
lies half way between Portland and Con-
eress streets ON st. Johns street, attracted
by the cries of a little kitten which some
cruel person had thrown into the center
of the bog among some eat-o-nine tails.
Finally Patrolman Tom Quinn came
along and by his efforts and those of q
young man named Dmmick, the kitten
was taken out Of the water and shot. She
had been In the water long time.

Hea1thful Floors.

No one questions the beauty or de-
STABILITY of hardwood floors. The expense
has heretofore been the chief obstacle to their
general adoption. Ordinary hardwood floors
have had other disadvantages, too. They
shrink or swell almost everytime the
weather changes. Modern parquetry floors
have none of these drawbacks. They are
thoroughly kiln-dried and are positively
guaranteed not to shrink or swell. They
can be put down over your old floor without
a nail-hole showing, at about the cost of a
good carpet. Let us tell you more about
them.
