Rev Mr.. Canham's text was taken from
Acts xiii, 1G-17: Then Paul stood up, anc
reckoning with his hand said. Men OF
Israel and We that fear God, give audi
ence. The God Of this people of Israel
chose our fathers and exalted the people
when they dwelt as strangers in the land
Of Egypt, and with high arm brought he
them out Of it, The speaker referred 10
the words of Paul as bearing upon q
great historical and biological event. The
exodus Of the Israeltes from Egypt vita
the words of the text, suggested many
incidents in which Biblical history has
repeated itself and in which has been
traced the hand of God. Biblical history
was to be considered Of value in matters
of today; God unchanged through the
ages; with the future of nations; His
hand marvellous in events and occur
rences of this nations history, a HAND
which foiled the malice of traitors ans!
inspired the courage of friends. God raises
men for supreme duties. Washington
bathed his sword in the justice of heaven
and drew it in the defence Of his coun-
try. The immortal Lincoln. a man Of
God was a leader of men and made pos
sible Liberty and union now and for
ever, one and inseparable.'

were not on the check list, would have
taken SO long that many men, includ-
ing the farmers could not have re
manned. This was why Merrill was
so anxious for the check list to be
used. But no fair list existed and no
man in town knew the politics of the
voters unless il was Mr.. Merrill. He
ought TO know, as he evidently has
asked about every mum in town to vote
for him no matter what his politics
might be. Prominent Democrats, as
well as others, received letters from
his asking their support at the Rcpub-
lican caucus.
When Anderson and Walton opposed
his motion to use the check list they
did it not as opposing the use of such
a list, when il could be fairly done,
but upon the ground that it was not
practical under The circumstances at
that time. They both stated emphatic
ally that they were in favor of the use
Of the check list and also in favor Of
caucus law, so that Il caucus could
be called at 3 o'clock in the morning
and run all day, hut they claimed that
to commence at 2 or 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, the use of the check list
made up in February before, by which
a large class of voters would be shut
out, was not only impracticable but
unfair. The voters at the caucus
agreed with them by about 100 ma
jCrity.
In conclusion, we have only to say
that until Mr.. Merrill started as a can
didate to take part in politics, no sug-
gestion Of fraud at Republican eau
Gus in Skowhegan was ever made:
there was no buttonholng of every
voter; no use of money, and no call
for the check list.
He never did naything for the par
ty and had no love for it until he be-
came q candidate. All he did was to
bolt its nominees when they did not
suit him or were nominated over his
candidates. A large majority of his
townsmen now think he has already
more than he is entitled to. They
would have defeated him at the last
caucus upon the check list if they
could only have had time to do so
AS it was they got at him as they have
defeated candidates during all the
years past
He wound up at the caucus by in
sulting the Republicans by naming
from the floor one of the well known
prominent Democratic leaders i'm town
as n delegate to the Republican State
convention.

a Sisters Adptce.

l tell you, nobody but a mother
knows how a mother feels when she
looks at her child and fears that he
may not be spared to her.
The hours of her life are dark and
heavy when she does that.
But that is what Mrs. Frank T. Wash
burn, OF kennebunk, Maine, did more
than once, when punches had formed
on her little boys neck.
She knew they were scrofulous
punches, and she knew scrofula is pro-
gressive and one of the most destruc-
tive of diseases.
She was alarmed, and told her sister
about her fears for the little fellow, and
her sister comforted her by telling her
that many wonderful cures of scrofula
had been wrought by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and that she should give this
medicine to the boy.
1t is difficult to conceive how her
sister could have thrown more sunshine
into her life at this time, and it is
certain that better advice could not
have been given.
For, mark you! this is what Mrs.
Washburn said, on the 18th of Octo-
Der, 1900:
Hoods Sarsaparilla cured my boy.
The punches gradually softened and
disappeared. He has been real we'll
ever since and now, at three years of
age, is a rugged, healthy child. l am
grateful for what Hoods Sarsaparilla
did for him."
This is a simple statement of one of
the thousands of radical and permanent
cures of scrofula effected by Hoods
Sarsaparilla-which is the medicine of
all medicines for this disease and all
its manifestations, launches, assesses,
eruptions, inflamed eyelids, sore ears,
ricketts,, wasting and general debility,
as well as for dyspepsia, catarrh, kid
ney complaint and rheumatism.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is obtainable of
all druggists. Don't accept any SUBJ
stitute for it, nor any preparation rep
resented as being equally good. No
substitute, no other preparation, acts
like it. Insist on having Hoods.

TWO SUSPECTS ISOLATED.
Fourteen Sure and Two Suspected.
Cases Of Smallpox at Quarries.

Health Officer Millikens visit to the
quarry. Saturday. resulted in the removal
of two men from their quarters in the
boarding house, for the reason that there
were unmstakable signs of the prelimi
nary rash of smallpox. They are only
suspected cases of smallpox, however, and
are being isolated such, separate rooms
having been given them in the hospital
apart from the three patients who are
now already under treatment there. 1t =
possible that the cases may develop vari-
oloid but proper attention will be given
them and every precautionary measure
taken to ensure isolation.
Despite the fact that there are now II
cases under actual surveillance of the
health officers and their rigid regulations
there seems to be a surprising absence
of alarm or disquietude. Here and thera
throughout the thriving settlement are
seen the little cottages flying the red
flag and bearing the big posters with
quarantine regulations and extracts from
the State laws. but these outward appear
ances carry no suspicious of particular
adherence or dread and people given at
tention to their occupations and the quiet
pursuit of happiness much the same as
ever before. On Sunday the Quarrymen's
Band gathered its depleted aggregation
in a barn adjoining the boarding house
and dispersed fine music at frequent III
tervals throughout the day.
The special police have a watchful eye
on the guaranteed houses but have 1T
tie or nothing to break the dull monoto-
ny of their days and nights of vigil. No
one with the exception of the health Off
Ger is allowed to approach within Is feet
of quarnntined houses. and the same rule
is universally apphable to those living in
the houses. Provisions are left on lawns

snap and i'm the first three innings the
Gardiner boys retired the Richmonds
without a score, and in their half made
three runs. In the fourth the boys from
down river scored once and the home
team was shut out. In the fifth ana
sixth a goose egg went down for both
sides and during these innings some
very fast playing was witnessed, ana
earlier in the game a lively dog tight
had taken place and for a time diverted
the attention of the spectators ana
players.
The I,ichmonds We're again shut out
in the seventh and the GARDENERS Sc
cured two runs by hard batting and
good base running. At the start of this
inning hard shower came up, which
delayed the game for a few minutes
and the crowd was obliged to seek the
shelter of the adjoining woods to escape
the downpour. The shower left the field
in very slippery condition and the
graceful slides that were seen during
the seventh We're good to see if not
pleasant to the base runner. The eighth
was the Richmonds' inning and they
secured three scores by the only bad
plays of the Gardiner team. When
they were retired the difficulty came.
AS understood by the Journal man 1t
had been agreed by members of the
two teams that McBain would play on
a base or in the field but would not
catch. Meserve, seeing that the game
was resulting unfavorably to the Rich
monds. insisted that McBain should go
behind the bat and he (Meserve) go in
the box. With this battery they would
have a combination that had played
professional ball in their positions and
one that would equal any battery in the
State. The Gardiner team would not
allow this, according to the agreement
made when the game was arranged.
Mescrve insisted and would not play
under any other conditions, and so the
umpire declared the game forfeited to
Gardiner by a score of 8 to 0. And so
the game ended. The score:
