The EvanueIistic Services.

In spite of the snow storm a large
number attended the union service
in the First Baptist church, last even
ing. For many years it has been an
established custom for Christian peo-
pie of our city to reserve Wednesday
evening for prayer meeting and the
service of last night reaped the benefit
of this time hOnored habit.
a very impressive sermon was de-
livered by the Rev. B. p. Hope from
the text: Whom viii We that 1 re-
lease unto you, Barabbas or Jesus, who
is called Christi" The discourse was
delivered largely to Christian people
and the speaker dwelt at length on
the character of Christian choice
Barabbas stood for political liberty
Jesus stood for religious freedom. The
choice of the ancient Jew was not be-
tween that which was bad and that
which was good. 1t was a choice be-
tween the good and the better, and the
crime consisted in the selection of the
good in preference to the best.
The speaker emphasized the supreme
Importance of selecting the best, and
the Christian life is the best life that
mortal man could live.
Meeting, tonight, at 100, with spec
ial music, and a cordial invitation is
extended to all.

CRANKY PIANOS.
External Causes May be Reason for
Seeming Detects.

! "A piano, said a local dealer. re-
Gently, will sound better standing di-
lrectly on the floor and in a room sim
DIV furnished than ii will standing on
a carpet in room deliberately fur
nished, having heavy hangings on the
walls, eand so on. -=z7--s--z.s.
! sometimes piano Will develop or
seem to develop flaw in some one
note, which comes to have a rattle. or
jingle, or unpleasant burr to it. But
this jarring sound which seems to
come from the piano, may in reality
come from some source quite outside
of it.
ANY given note, when struck, pro-
duces a certain number of vibrations
to the second. There may be in the
room some object that is in tone SYM
pathy with some particular note, and
that will be set in motion by it when
that note is sounded.
The owner of a fine piano sent to us
one day to say that there was some
thing wrong about a certain note of
the instrument, SO that that note had
an unpleasant sound when struck.
When l heard the note sounded l knew
at once that the disagreeable rough
ness or buzz about it was not due to
any defect in the piano, but to some
thing somewhere about in the room;
and, asking the lady to strike that.
note occasionally, 1 walked around the
room to see if could locate it.
Passing across the middle of the
room, as that note was struck, the
cause of the jarring accompaniment of
it was discovered to come from the vi
bratiOn of one of the glass globes on
the chandelier overhead.
The owner of the piano was almost
incredulOus as to this, the sound had
seemed so plainly to come from the
piano itself. But when, at my request,
she stood under the chandelier and l
struck the note, she was readily con-
WINGED.
Il made that globe immovable, and
then struck the note on the piano. The
answer was clear and sweet and true.
so you see the sound of a plano
may for one thing depend much upon
Its surroundings; and what may seem
to be a defect in a piano may be in
reality attributable to something quite
apart from the piano itself.
And thus it might easily be that
some noble instrument that had
seemed to be declining, or to be de-
veloping faults, owed it's apparent de-
feet to change of environment, or to
|some specific outside cause, and was in
Ireality as good as ever; as would hap
PLY be discovered whenever the in
strument was again brought under ia.

La Grippe Quickly Cured.

I'm the winter of 1898 and 1899 I was
taken down with severe attack of
what is called La Grippe" says F. l..
Hewett, prominent druggist Of Win
field. Ill. "The only medicine used
was two bottles of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t broke up the cold
and stopped the coughing like magic,
and I have never since been troubled
with Grippe" Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy can always be depended upon
to break up severe cold and ward on
any threatened attack of pneumonia.
1t is pleasant to take. too. which makes
it the most desirable and one of the
most popular preparations in use for
these ailments. For sale by John

Letter to S. r. Stilkey & Son,
Augustd, Maine.

Dear SirS: You know how well 1t
pays to keep your carriages painted,
both for looks and to keep out water.
1t pays as we'll to paint your barn and
your house. We put your barn first,
because that is your business-your
customers see it.
You see, there are two good reasons
for paint: one is looks; the other is
wear. If you paint for looks, the wear
will take care of itself.
Paint often for looks: and use good
paint for both looks and wear.
The best paint is Devoe lead and
zinc ground together by machinery;
same proportions as are used by the U.
S. Government 1t wears twice as
long as lead and oil mixed by hand.
Yours truly,

STATE HOUSE.
Malaga Island Matter to Be
Carefully Investigated.
Councillor Mayo Will Visit Place, To-
day, to Learn True Condition.
Granite Industry to Be Chief Feature
in Labor Report.

Councillor Mayo, who is chairman of
the Council committee on State bene-
ficiaries, will go to Malaga island, near
Phippsburg, today, for the purpose of
securing information so as to place the
responsibility of supporting the inhabi-
tants of the island where it properly be-
longs. This question of responsibility
has been in dispute for many years and
each winter the people there find them
selves in distress and are unable to Sc
cure aid to tide them over until the
spring fishing begins. None of the
towns contiguous to the island will re-
spond to applications for aid, each
claiming that the people who reside on
the island have no pauper residence in
the town. Phippsburg, Harpswell and
Yarmouth disclaim their responsibility
ana refuse to assist the distressed
dwellers on Malaga.
Under the State law residents in an
unorganiZed township, who may fall
into distress and are suffering for the
necessities of life, are authorized to call
upon the municipal officers of the next
nearest town. and they must render
such assistance as may be deemed suf-
ficient, and then look to the State for
reimbursement. 1t is now the inten-
ton of the Governor and Council to
settle the matter of responsibility for
all time. If it can be shown that. this
island is n veritable "No-man's land"
belonging to no town, and is really
lacking a legal organization, then the
State will assume the support of the
inha bitants when in want and suffering
for medicine, food and the like.
Temporary relief has been afforded
the people who are sick at the island,
the epidemic OF measles is fast disap-
pearing and the condition of the in
habitants has been greatly improved
during the past week.
Mr.. Mayo will thoroughly investigate
every phase of the matter and will
carefullys protect the interests of the
state. to the end that no town shall
shirll thes Responsibility of caring for
its paupers if it can be shown that they
have aslegal pauper residence within
its jurisdiction.

the officials of the Havana Commercial
Company, against whom the strike was
first directed. After the conference Gen.
Gomez and the majority of the committee
expressed themselves as satisfied at the
stand that the company had taken.
The officials maintained that they had
not Disseminated against Cuban appren-
tees, the fact being that the company 8
books showed that over 80 per cent of its
apprentices were Cubans.
The company would maintain and even
increase this ratio. but 1t refused to treat
with the Central Labor Union in matters
pertaining to its employees. The officials
said that they always were willing to
meet a committee made up of workers
from their factories. and they agreed to
open the factories again If the men re-
turned to work.
Gen. Gomez and the committee after
ward met the Central Labor Union. and
the old warrior did not spare words in his
condemnation of the action of the union
in calling out the workmen. He said it
was revolution and not a strike, and
that the war veterans stood ready to take
up arms in support of the government, in
order to maintain order.
That ended the strike, as far as the
Central Labor Union was concerned. It
did not care to brave Gen. Gomez's wrath,
and word was sent out possible
to have the workmen return to work. There
may be some trouble with the local unions,
but the backbone of the strike is broken,
and tomorrow will undoubtedly see most
of the laborers at work.
