A New Druggist.

AS announced last week Charles A.
Currier has bought the Standard drug
store of ]. A. Stanton and already taken
possession. Mr.. Currier comes here from
Barton and brings with him as his clerk
E. H. Lyford. Both young men have
taken two years course in the Massa-
chusetts College of Pharmacy, with spe.
cial training in the prescription depart
ment. Yesterday was "free day" at the
soda fountain and it is needless to say
that the store was we'll patronized. The
Standard drug store had always an ex-
cellent reputation and good patronage
and the new proprietor means to keep it
up to the high standard of its predecess-
ors and we believe he will.

Chaplain Days Visit.

Rev. c. o. Day of Boston, secretary of
the Congregational Educational society,
and president-elect Of Andover Theologi.
cal seminary, spent Sunday in town in
the interests of the society. In the morn
ing he preached at the South church on
the educational work of the denomina-
ton and in the afternoon he gave help
full address at the mems meeting at the
Y. M. c. A. In the evening he served in
the dual capacity of his present office and
his former position as chaplain of the 1st
Vermont Regiment, for by invitation of
Rev. Mr.. Chapman, nearly 60 veterans
of the Spanish American war and pres
ent members of Co. D, occupied seats at
the front in the North church. Chaplain
Days address was an exceedingly effect
i've presentation of the work of the edu-
cational society in the W est, interviewer
with, and illustrated by, rehearsal of
the experiences of the regiment at Chicka-
mauga. The speaker held the close at
tention of the audience while he called up
many incidents of camp life and army
work and compared them with the work
of the church in promoting patriotism
through teaching the principles of the
Christian religion. After the service the
boys had the privilege of shaking hands
with Mr.. Day, and to those who were
with him in the South it was indeed
privilege, for in Chaplain Day they each
have a much loved personal friend,
whose great heart entered into every tea
ture of camp life and made the hard expe-
rience of the summer of '9S seem lighter.

some fry from the National Hatchery in
the streams surrounding st. Johns bury

cured upon application and our farmers
and land owners who want well-stocked
streams should be glad to avail them
selves of this opportunity.

WOMAN'S CLUB.
Committees Appointed for the Year.


The June meeting of the Woman's CluI
which occurred Monday afternoon wa'
very brief. In the absence of the presi
dent, the first vice. president, Mrs. Bell'
! F. Fletcher, occupied the chair. The tont
of the meeting could not be otherwise
than subdued since the absence of Mrs
Stafford suggested to all her recent loss
and a spirit of quiet sympathy pervaded
the meeting. This regard and sympathy
of the club members for their president
found expression in few loving words
read by Mrs. Ruthy P. Fairbanks. Mrs
Lucy M. Brooks read very tender resolu.
tions on the death of Mrs. Fannie K
Puffer, and an appreciative expression oi
remembrance and love was read by Mrs.
Helen D. Ross to the memory of Mrs.
Horace Fairbanks.
The meeting closed with the following
motion by Mrs. Isabella c. Stevens
That as an indication of our sympathy
for our president in her great sorrow, we
now adjourn the meeting for today, and
that the social festivities which usually
attend the July meeting be omitted.

from which extracts as follows are

1t is a very Door country and ia

here all the time and the soldiers are
having hard time OF it. A large ma.
lorl!y of the men are sick and discour-
as soon as they can. We are getting
very poor stuff to eat (such as today

coffee Tor dinner) and men can't stand it

and standing guard three times in one
week. The mosquitoes eat fellow 10.

be happy wheD We do get back. I am

bandmaster. He is an Engllshman q. and
bossy. None of the men want to stay
with him. Six OF US We're transferre' /

The people around here eat rice and flsh.

Tor anything else. The fruit here is MT

the cause OF most OF the men getting the
disease.
We had little fight the other day.
There were twenty of us and fifty ssnip-
gers" We lost one man and had to re-
treat, or we would have all been killed.
The other day we hlked over to a place
called Cabosow and captured about fl
ty ''niggers" and killed ten, and burned
lots OF houses. [ wish you could have
seen this place where we first had a
fight. In one rice paddy there were six

there were fifteen. and on a large open
field there were about IT'S. all killed in
about two hours and only one of our
boys wounded. They will be fighting

Mar. 9, 1901.
EDITOR HERALD; Friends OF Rev.
}. T. B. Smith have been caused
some anxiety by the clipping from
the Hib Ding News published in your
last issue. Being somewhat familiar
with the situation, few words from
me might throw little light on the
..,, : - .s
r. q Smith has nothing to fear
from MT. French, who claims to re.
present the aggressive saloon ele-
menu at Hibbing. Whatever in.
nuenee nue. that gentleman may possess
will not be exerted in a quarter to
affect MIR. Smith or his work. Neither
will the bishop and the presiding
elder, with whom the appointing
power in Methodiem is vested. take
MIR. French or his associates in con
sultation in appointing Mr.. Smith,
or any other preacher, to that or
any other field.
AS for myself, l was bliesfully ig.
norant of any influence that Mr..
French exerted upon me or nv work
and plans. I had supposed that
whatever influence he had wielded
was on q different class than those
with whom [ had most to. do. Il
fondly thought that Mr.. French
was as friendly to me as any man
who represents the men he claims to
represent is likely to be to a M ethodist
preacher. 1t is out of bis province
to dictate ministerial appointments
and had not known that he had
anything to do with mine.
Yours truly,

The Enquir, Nrnr II. End.

There can be- no doubt that yestor-
days proceedings in the Court Of En-
quiry completed the panic of the Navy
Department ring. They see now that
they have actually compelled Ad-
miraI Schley 10 march them into an
ambush they had prepared for him. and
they have the comfort of their seusa-
tons. Crowuinshield is as little I'm evil
deuce as he can make himself Chad
wick is in retirement as far as the pub
lie can discern, Hackett is practically
under dismissal. and Sampson has dis
appeared from view.
It is unfortunate for the rinEsters
that the President knows as much as
he does about the interior workings Of
the Navy Department He is not by
any means obIivious Of facts learned
when he was its Assistant Secretary.
He is fully aware Of the ways and
means by which favorites Of the Navi-
CATION Bureau are kept on comfortable
shore duty or are given the desirable
assignments abroad. while the working
officers OF the service are sent 10 the
African Coast or are punished in some
other similar way for being a credit to
