THE MIMIC WAR.
Conditions Prevailing Off Shore this Morning Most
Favorable TO Commander PsburY

Rockport Mass, Aug. GA contrast
in the condition prevailing off the shore
this morning and those of yesterday
were most favorable to the squadron un-
der Commander Pillsbury, who is trying
to make landing on the New England
coast between Portland Maine, and
Provincetown, Mass, while Rear Ad-
miral Higginson and his vessels defend
the seaboard. When the sun came up
today the atmosphere was clear as it
could be and extended observations were
made from all signal and lookout sta
tons. Each reported no sign of the enc
my. Not long after sunrise the fog set
in, dense and impenetrable to the eye
beyond ten or a dozen feet.
BY II O'Clock the fog had lifted, and
the battleships were seen in their usual
positions. Observation in the distance,
however, was impossible, owing to
haze which hung low over the water.
All the signal and lookout stations re-
ported during the forenoon, showing
that the message system was intact.
All the scout boats were heard from be-
fore 1 O'Clock either at the station here
or on board the Kearsarge.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Margaret Pease was born in
New Jersey, March 8, 1919, and was
the last of family of six children.
She was converted to God in the
18th year of her age, and at once unit
ed with the Methodist Episcopal
church, the church of her choice and
for sixty five years she has been an
earnest, active, joyful and exemplary
christian She loved Christ and His
church and only few weeks since,
when | was talking with her about her
religious life and her relation TO the
church she exclaimed II am so glad
that | am Methodist. -
She loved prayer and when she
prayed it was evident to those who
heard her, that she had access to the
great infinite heart of God whom she
addressed AS my Father And to be
present when she prayed was to real
ize that one was in the presence
chambers of the king of kings.
Prayer was her vital breath, her
native air Her watchword at the
gates of death She entered heaven
by prayer.
And tho she has been too feeble to
attend church for quite while her
pastor knew that she was at home
praying for Gods blessing upon the
preached word and upon the services,
The bible to her was supernatural
book, the book of God and her reading
for sometime past consisted of the
bible, the hymnal and christian
paper named the Uplook. The three
she priced very highly.
She was woman of strong faith in
God, and her faith she demonstrated
by her works, being active in all
christian labor especially in home
missions, being president of the local
society i'll her home town, Canton,
Penn. for many years. She main.
tanned her interest in this work to the
last in our Missionary society. The
meetings of which society never
seemed complete without her. She
was much interested in temperance
reform Being member of the w
G. T. U. acting as president for many
years thus directing the work of that
society in Canton.
Eight years ago last October SHE
came to this state to reside with hei
ncice Mrs. Morse whom she had raised

Auntie was widow for 40 years
