cHEERFuLNEss OF DEATH.
Nothing Repulsive or Terrifying Dis
 solution of Soul and Body.

W. w Keen. M. D., in the Outlook.
 Most people. even most Christian peo- pie, shrink from death. In sermons and hymns and in literature, it is generally represented as repulsive. It is spoken of as deaths cold stream "the last enemy" the dark valley of the shadow of death" and the "terrors of death are pictured in vivid terms. For the Christian, at least, this is all wrong. Death should be really his best friend; welcomed rather than feared.
 So far as the physical aspect of death is concerned, the universal teaching of physicians is that the process of dying is rarely painful or even unwelcome to the patient, though full of sorrow to his family. A happy unconsciousness in nearly all cases shields the dying man from pain. The weakness, the fever, the parched lips, the labored breathing, are all unfet. Most people die quietly and often almost imperceptibly.

 And sleeping when she died'

cal in origin and character, and abso- lutely unattended by any suffering
 If, then, death is not an unpleasant process physically, why should it be feared from the spiritual side? See what 1t does for the Christian.
 It frees from accident, sickness, and suffering, to which his body has been lia- ble all his life, and from which he has often suffered. sometimes intensely and for long periods of time.
 It frees him from all sorrow. No one who has reached even adolescence es- capes sorrow To many, sorrows are multiplied manyfold and bear down even the stoutest heart. The weary and the heavy laden" make up the mass of mankind
 It opens the gate of Heaven to him. While we know nothing accurately of the details of the Heavenly life we do know that there we shall live in etern- al bliss; there we shall see and know in timately our Lord Jesus Christ; there we shall feel the influence of the holy spirit; there we shall meet the saints of all ages; there we shall be reunited to the dear ones who have happily pre- ceded us there shall come in due time the dear ones we have left on earth; there our minds will expand beyond our present comprehension; there the un- solved problems of earth will be clear as day; there we shall learn why perplexi- ty, disappointment, and trouble were our lot on earth and were needful for the

Strickland was bending over his tele graph instrument copying out orders for the Overland Limited, one of the fastest flyers operated by the D. and NJ. Winant down at oakhurst had just wired that the limited passed his station going at full speed. As Oakhurst was nearly fifty miles distant. the train was due to reach Wheeling is about ffty-fve minutes. It was now 2:3O a. m. The track was clear all the way to Cloverdale, so that Strict land had nothing to do but take down his orders and give them to the conductor of the Overland in the brief interval that it stopped at Wheeling.
 Strickland had just finished receiving the halting sentences from Wisant. and was mentally cursing a new man who could not send twenty-five words without making bulls, when he heard the rumble of train coming from the direction of Cloverdale. As there were no parallel lines anywhere about it must be coming down the D. and M main line without orders. Precipitation streaming from his face, Strickland leaped to his instrument. He was too late Down the track. not half a mile distant, locomotive swept around curve and approached the little station with the long roar of a flyer. > Evidently the train was going through at full speed.

THE USUAL SIEGE OF COUGHS AND COLDS
Easily Prevented by Fortifying the System With Duffy's Pure
 Malt Whiskey.

It's the ltle cough or cold allowed to run on without attention that fills three fourths of the graveyards of this eoun- try.
 Consumption is but the fatal stage or throat troubles-the little cough neglect ed.
 Consumption is more appalling in It's destruction of life than any plague or nestilence that has ever swept over the world, It works on day and night, year in and year out. Its victims in a single year number more than all the deaths in the bloody battles of the Civil War. In New York City alone last year there were 50,000 cases.
 One of the saddest features of con- sumntion is the fact that it carries off the young men and women-from II to 35 years of age-the very mainstay of the Nation. ...
 D1iFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY is prescribed by over 1000 doctors and used in 2O00 hospitals exclusively. It is an absolutely pure. gentle and invigorating stimulant and tonic. It builds up the nerve tissues tones up the heart, gives power to the brain, strength and elasticity to the muscles and richness to the blood. Overeones all weakening wasting and run-doWn conditions, of body, brain and muscle, giving the system power to throw off and resist coughs. colds grip, catarrh asthma, bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia, consumption and all throat and lung troubles; indigestion, dyspep- sia and every form of stomach disease; nervousness, malaria and all low levers.
 "Duffy's" contains no fusel oil and Is the only whiskey recognized by the Gov ernment as a medicine. This Is a guar antee. In successful use for over 50 years.

A WEALTHY BEGGAR.
No Use For crutches When He Heard
 His Sentence.

From the New York Commercial
 William H. Vaughan, f1fty-six years old, of Chatham Square, was arraigned be- fore Magistrate Barlow in Essex Market court today, by Agent John b. Godfrey of the Charity Organization society on charge of vagrancy and begging. Godfrey said that Vaughan, who is big, husky fellow with nothing in his appearance to suggest any real infirmty, is worth S4,- GOO in Brooklyn banks and real estate, yet he persists in begging. He hobbled into court on crutehes, but when Magis- trate Barlow said he would send him to the Island for six months he threw away his crutches in rage, and walked to the jail easily enough.

orderly and sufficient development of our own character, and of Gods large plans not only for us. but for the race; there. in a word all that Is evil shall vanish away and all that is good shall be ours forever.
 If death. then, is not I painful, un- pleasant process and if it does for us SD much, it should be, not the last enemy, but our best friend; not dreaded as the messenger of evil. but welcomed as a companion who will lead us into paths of pleasantness and reveal to us the joys for which we have been longing all our lives. We should not speak of the ter TOTS of death but should feel ia our very hearts the cheerfulness of death.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Conductor Harriean Barely Avoided
Being Crushed at Wiscasset.

Conductor Harrigan had a narrow
escape from injury on the train from
the westward which left, this city at
2.Q5 O'Clock, Thursday, and is due in
Rockland at AS. The high winds had
delayed the passage across the Kenne-
bee of the Hercules two hours, and as
the train speed toward Rockland the
wind blew 30 miles an hour. At times
the cars sWayed owing to hurricane
winds, and when Wiscasset was reach
ed there was almost disaster. A
freight truck had been blown upon the
track and as the train was slowing up
al the station the truck had become so
placed as to cut off the steel steps of
the locomotive, smash the forward
steps off the car attached to the tender
and to crush the steps of the following
car where stood Conductor Harrigan.
He heard the crash ahead, however,
and jumped from the steps to the car
platform. He was but a moment out
of harms way when the truck got
tangled up in the steps and crushed
them and itself into small pieces. The
train was delayed several minutes and
a gravel train that was due came near
crashing into the regular train at the
station-Bath Times.

ILL FEELING INCREASES,
Columbia Apparently Now Looking for
Trouble with Chill,

Bogota, Colombia, Sept. 1.-THE
Senate has ordered the government to
sent to the Senate the treaty with
Chilli in the limits, recently defined by
arbitra ton of Ecuador. The President
of the Senate, charges Chill with not
having respected her word in refusing
to sell to Colombia the cruiser Presi-
dent Pinto in exchange for Colombia s
support at the Pan American congress
held at the City of Mexico in October,
1901.
President Caro's policy, it is asserted,
is to attack the Colombian government
by all means. His latest blow, in de-
handing the CHILEAN treaty, is aimed
also at Vice President Reyes, a candi-
date for the Presidency of Colombia,
WHO contributed to drawing up the
treaty with Chilli and who as Il COM
missioner Of Colombia at the Pam
American congress, was instrumental
in bringing about the understanding
with Chilli at the City of Mexico
There is still a feeling of resentment
Of Colombia against Chilli for refusing
tc sell the Presidente Pinto to Colombia
during the recent revolution in this
republic, in spite of the understanding
on this subject arrived at with the
Colombian ministers.

FLEEING FROM FLOOD,
La Crosse, Wis, Threatened with ar
Appalling Danger.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 1S.-Hundreds
of families in the district adjacent to
La Crosse are fleeing with what valu-
ables they can grasp to the hills which
skirt the Mississippi to escape death in
the floods which are sweeping the Mis-
sissippi valley. Upon advices of the
United States weather bureau station
here Thursday, the entire police force
was detailed to warn the residents of
surrounding towns that the worst flood
in the history of the state was to strike
La Crosse, early Friday. Mounted
courriers We're dispatched in every di-
rection and it is believed that the warm
ing was sent early enough to prevent
loss of life.
Farms within % miles of La Crosse
are being deserted but in many in
stances the stock had been drowned be-
fore it could be driven away. Miles on
miles of farm land is inundated, crops
and all property is being flooded.
AS yet no loss of life has been re-
ported. Roads and bridges north of
here have been swept away and it is
impossible to drive from one county to
another.

HOT BASE BALL, TODAY.
Fairfield and WaterviIe May Meet fol-
the Last Time.

Waterville and Fairfield will meet
this afternoon, for the 18th game of the
challenge series and if Waterville wins
it will give her the eight games neces-
sary to win the series. So Fairfield
will put up big fight to stave off de-
feat just once more anyhow, and Wa
terville will be after the game for
blood KlobedanZ will be in the box
for Waterville and Josselyn, who is
scheduled to go with the Boston Amer
leans, next season, will probably do the
twirling for Fairfield. They have been
up against each other once before. but
Josselyn had only part of game and
took it after it had been practically
lest by Piatt, the big Lacquer. 1t will
be interesting to see the Maine young
ster go up against the veteran for hot
fight and this alone will be worth the
Price of admission.
Fairfield now has the best team she
has been able to gather for the season
and Waterville will have her work well
cut out if she wins. AS this may be the
last game of the series and of the sea-
son there will doubtless be a big crowd
out. Whoever wins, it is bound to be a
good game. ONE who have seen the
teams play and who have seen the big
league teams play say they enjoy see
ing the games here just as much as in
the big league. They are as clean and
exciting, although the work of the
players may not be SO finished and

AMERICANS VOLUNTEER
To Help the Macedcnians Fight the
Cruel Turks.

Chicago. Sept. 1S.-Many members of
the Illinois militia have volunteered
their services to Macedonia in the war
against the Turks. according to a state
ment made by the local Macedonian
committee.
There was lively meeting of Mace
domains. last night, in the Second Bap-
list church. G. NJ. Tsilka, whose wife
was kidnapped with Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, stirred the audience with an
account of the barbaric practices of
the Turks and he related instances of
unrrOvoked cruelty of which he had
been witness. He denied the reports
that the brigands who captured Miss
Stone and Madame Tsilka were allied
to or acting under the direction of the
Macedonian revolutionary party.
When the meeting adjourned those
present dropped their contributions
into the folds of the Macedonian flag
as it lay half furled at the door.
