tone of life to which the Master has

Christianity is a re1igioo Of Joy, and
1t can only be we'll represented 20 the
world when it's children live up to

only blamelessly but happily; and to
show TO the world that the peace
which Christ gave to His people as a
parting gift the world has not taken
from them. Christians have no moral
right TO go through life complaining,
fault-tinding and spprehensive. Down
In New England they have an old
wives proverb to the effect that: "a
great deal is laid 10 the nerves which
comes from the DEVIL" and the world
Is very likely TO Judge after that man

did not put the snap and life into the
game that they manifested at Water

Flood made another handsome catch
of a difficult fly and also surprised
every one by dropping rather an easy
one. Taylor and Shaw both took nice
three-baggers. The Journals managed
to get in two double plays. but they
found the Geralds running bases much
better than in the first game. Russell
started the game for the Geralds. but

HOME FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Man Whv Was Burned Alive" Arrives Home
Safe and Well.

George F. Doe and Barney Pooler of
the i3d Inf. L. S. v, arrived home
from the Philippines. early yesterday
morning. Several other men from the
same regiment came with them and
have gone to their homes in this VIZ
cinity.
Mr.. Doe is in good health and look
ing we'll. He is. of course, mighty glad
to be back in Maine once more especi-
ally as his chances for ever seeing it
again We're at one time dependent on
the caprice of drunken bOlOmen. 1t
will of course be remembered how
Sergeant Doe was reported to have
been burned at the stake by the ma
tives and what a sensation it created.
especially here in Waterville and in
Augusta, his native place. The full
story of this adventure as told by Mr..
Doe himself has already been related
in the Journal and he has little that
is new to add to it except to confirm
it. He wrote the story as report to
the government of his capture and
treatment by the natives.
He says the thing that caused him
about rs much suffering as anything
during his Imprisonment was the ''hyk-
ing over the rocky trails barefooted.
The natives of course could not under
stand how much suffering this caused
and We're not very particular about it
any way, as they themselves rarely
wear shoes. so they showed the white
men along regardless of bleeding feet
Mr.. Doe saw lots of "scrapping," as
the 43d had it's full share of this. On
the very night of his return to the
army after his Imprisonment he was
obliged to assist in repelling an attack.
He says that things are pretty quiet
in the islands at present and that there
arc no fights of any consequence. He
mentioned one force of several thou
sand men that was still under arms
hut said that plans were being made
to speedily crush this.
Mr.. Doe is naturally not throwing
many bouquets at the natives. He
says they are good fighters but cruel
and treacherOus. They live on rice
principally with little fish when they
can get it. They also dry the flesh of
the water buffalo and are very fond
of it. but no white man can eat it,
When the soldiers could not get reg
ular ratiOns they lived on rice.

Mr.. Morrison has met with splendid

established his factory in this town
few years ago. and encouraged by
the patronage from Massachusetts and
considering the fact that there was no
mandatory of a similar nature with

over several localities and finally set

feet long, near which is building
3Ox50 feet and two stories high, which
belongs to the property purchased.
About 100 horse power can be obtained
from the water privilege. which will be
ample to run all necessary machinery
