The Church's Hospitality.

Every church should have a COM
mittee of ladies able aud willing to cal!
upon new corners in the congregation,
writes "A Ministers Wife" in the Sep
TENDER Ladies' Home Journal These
ladies should be attractive personally
and socially, and the minister's wife may
or may not be member of this com
mittee; she should not be its chairman.
This committee should be organized
quietly by the minister, should remain
as nearly unknown a. possible. and
should never be referred TO from the
pulpit Dor in any church publication. II
it is, half Of its ttiicacy will depart.
There should be committee on hospital
ity in every chutch-partieularly if the
church is large-whose business il is TO
welcome the visiting clergyman. the
lecturer. the evangelist and provide for
him suitable entertainment elsewhere
than at the minister's house. unless the

Affairs In China.

The United States has taken the lead
in replying to China that there will be
no temporizing negotiations and there
is every reason to believe that the
powers will be united In the same policy.
The answer of the United States was
quickly followed by similar action on
the part of Germany, the Berlin foreign
Office delivering to the Chinese minister
an answer refusing to enter into negoti
atoms on the ground that there was no
evidence that Ii Hung Changes creden-
tials gave him sufficient power to act.
News was received Monday, that 1000
Boxers were routed and 100 killed by
the allies between Tiea Tsin and Pekin
recently. They were interfering with
the lines of communication between the
two places.

The diplomatic situation in China at
this time amounts to tangle. The
government at Washington is patiently
at work trying to straighten out the
complications. The powers were in
complete accord up to the time of the
taking of Pekin. But with that ac-
complished, the more important ques.
ton arose as to the future course of the
powers in dealing with China, and on
that there is not MS yet any complete &C.
cord. The United States ia opposed to
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the empire, but some
of the powers appear to he making ar
engagements 10 take advantage of any
move that may be made to ALLEVIATE any
part of the territory of the unfortunate
country. The situation is full of diff
culties.

Twenty Years Married.

Mr. and Mrs. A. j. Bernard observed
the 10th anniversary of their marriage
at their home, Tuesday evening, in a
very pleasant manner. Members of
SkoW hogan Grange p. of H. and friends
to the number of about 10 assembled ut
their pleasant home, partook of nice
supper and left many valuable gifts in
token of their interest in and regard for
their hosts, who have travelled, for a score
of years, life's journey happily together.
A number of members of Skowhegan
Grange united in the presentation of an
elegant silver fruit dish and spoon.
Hon. AloI 20 Smith on the part of the
donors made tilicitous speech, one of
his best, and Mr.. and Mrs. Bernard each
responded happily. Mr.. j. P. Longley
of Palmyra, relative of the hosts, made
pleasing remarks. The feast, the
speeches, with music and games and con-
versation, made the occasion bright and
happy one.

There is no game eXtant which so
admirably combines educational and
recreatiye features or which is in every
way SO well adapted for popular and

Its influences are of an .elevating char
acter. Ii not only teaches, but prac-
tically enforces, the necessity OF pa.

The opposition is trying hard to
make something out of the fact that Mr..
Reed isn't taking any part in the present
campaign, the inference being that he
does not approve OF the Republican
position. Mr.. Reed has nothing TO gain
by taking upon himself the work of cam
paign speaking, and it isn't surprising
that he does net want to do it. He has
done his share Of the work in the past,
and although the party would be glad
of his assistance in the present cam
paign, he has earned the right to retire
from the stump il he chooses to. Demo
Gratis love to extol Mr.. Reed, now. Four
years ago, they loved to abuse and

Gov. Powers. who has excellent OPP
portunity to observe public affairs in
Maine and the trend of politics In the
State, is reported as estimating the Re-
publican majority in September at 49,
900 aganst the phenomenal one in 1896
of 900 II the Governor in his esti-
mate Is not more than ten thousand too
high and Hill receives 10000 majority
this year. it will be an emphatic victory.
Twenty thousand Republican lead will
be a victory, thirty thousand a big vic
tory and forty thousand a wonderful one,
under all the circumstances. Republicans
can vote, themselves, but they cannot
keep Democrats from voting. This must
be the individual act of Democrats, them
selves. Lightning does not strike twice
In the same place and no man can tell what
Democrats will do. Experience teaches
us that the act of staying at home by
Maine Democrats is exceptional and it Is
safe to predict that they will be strongly
In evidence at the polls September 10.
In any event Republicans can afford to
take nothing for. granted. The full
party strength should be shown at tire
polls, this year. The issues are as i'm
portant as those of four years ago or MS
ever they were in presidential election.
Maine has opportunity to show its fealty
to Republican principles In advance of
most other States. The Republican
trumpet In our State should give forth
no uncertain sound this year, and there
should be no dlminution In the Republi-
can vote from that of 1896.

The detection of w. E. English, son of
HaDcock's running mate in 1880, has
astouished the Democratic managers at
Chicago, although chairman Jones losses
it # lightly by declaring that there are
always some changes and that they are
of little significance. Mr.. English uses
this epigramatica phrase in his announce
ment that he cannot support Bryan
"Bryan is himself the paramount issue"
1t is very near the fact. Many
changes from Bryan to Mckinley have
recently taken place and the Demo-
cratic managers are considerably dis
turbed thereat.

We publish this week and next the
official ballot for Somerset county.
Voters will do well to look it over care
fully and observe particularly the direc-

ballot in the box so it may be counted
for the nominees they desire elected.
Regardless of all instructions, there are
many ballots spoiled at every election,
and it is usually done through needless
ness by persons you would be least
likely to expect would do such a thing.
