The postponement of the pugi-
listic meeting between Champion
Jeffries and Jack Monroe, which
was to have taken place last
night at San Francisco, causes
much regret among thousands of
sporting people, but there are
vastly many more thousands who
will not lose any sleep, and who
would not feel any regret If all
such events were permanently
postponed. The postponement
was due to Jeffries getting his
knee injured. The bout is set for
the 3Oth of this month.

We have no definite news at
this writing to give out concern
ing the time for commencing work
on the new electric line south OF
the city. This is fine weather for
railroad work, but, as has been
previously suggested in these col
umns, let us wait and hope. We
had anticipated the road would
be under process of construction
ere this.
June has seemed delightfully."-
cool and refreshing. Indeed, there
have been days when overcoats
were in order. Yet the months
official record shows an excess in
temperature of 7 degrees thus far.
When the heat does come, it con-
tains less of that ancient bugbear
of Sistersville sumers, humidity,
which causes more suffering than
mere temperature.
A gentleman of this city who
spent two days of this week trav-

says he finds the sentiment out
there very strong for the nomina-

the other candidates would poll
the party vote, and more, too,
still the sentiment is very strong
for Mr.. Kirchner.

through bounds of personal interest,
stood alone in peril, all for the rescue
of his fellow-countrymen. He was
severe to the few, that he might be
merciful to the many.
History does not afford a sublimer
example of faith than in the man,
who, single-handed, repaired the des-
ecrated altar in Carmel, and in pres
ence of an apostate king and people
competed with four hundred and fifty
priests, deliberately giving them every
advantage. Well may Memberships
immortal oratorio reach its most real
istic and thrilling strain when it
points the frenzy of the priests and
the calm assurance of the prophet.
He repaired the altar of the Lord
that was broken down" The act
was Eliiah's whole work in epitome.
No Scripture more graphically shows
the completeness with which devine
religion is put under control of HUI
man will. The altar, in spite of the
fact that it was the Lords, was yet
broken down, and that by human
hands. a consecrated human hand
was also privileged to restore it. The
same is true to this day in the Church.
The Lord has his prophets yet.
Who see the evil. Whose hearts are
stirred. Who put themselves at dis
posal of heaven for reformation of
the evil.
Two portraits appear upon the
same page. Women, contemporaries,
same race, worshipers of same gods.
Here resemblance ceases. One is a
queen, ambitious, cruel, intolerant,
HcentiOus. Other widow, on whom
and her dying son the plague has
fallen with all its weight. Her benev-
olence and faith outshlne the queens
jewels.
No accident these two portraits
appear together. Bible tea ches by
example. Each character stands for
an opposite principle of life. In Jez-
ebel it was love of self. In the widow
it was love of others.
Outcome of the two lives was what
might have been expected. Jezebel
dies a violent death at hands of trait
orous menials. Whether it be true
or not that the widows son became
the prophet Jonah, at any rate she
received commentator of the
Prophet of prophets.

The Newspaper Man.

The following article which sums
up the qualities of the newspaper
man is from the Pittsburg DiSp0tch:
There are so many, many people
in the world, intelligent people at
that, who have such an utterly warp
ed impression of the newspaper man
that it is only fair to that servant of
the public to tell of a few of the things
he sometimes does for the good of the
public. He is the man in the world
who is expected to work all of the
time that he is awake, be an absolete
machine, be at the same time an in
telligent being, with a fair knowledge
of almost everything that has ever
TRANSFERRED, be polite, patient, entire
ly impersonal and fair, be energetic
and up to date, enthusiastic and
little more ambitious than his fellows,
must get all of the news for his own
paper first and at the same time be
storehouse for the secrets and conf
dence of some of the leading men of
the country.
His ear must always be patient,
his hand steady and his eye lighted
to catch glance of everything that
goes on. In addition he must know
news when he sees it, dig out the libel
withoutquestion, expurgate that Dor
tiOn which will Give offenSa and do IL
all in the twinkling of an eve. If one
were to pick out big steel manfact-
urer, wealthy banker and tell those
things about him he would be regard
ed as remarkable man, but in the
case of the newspaper man, it is ex-
pected of him. And how many people
think of this when they endeavor to
snub or ignore?"

Death of DIR Foster.

Dr. George w. Foster, superintendent
of the Eastern Maine Insane Hospital,
Bangor, died shortly before midnight
Monday of pneumonia, after an illness OF
one week. His age was 81 years.
DR.. Foster was a native Of Burnham,
Me-, and for some years practced his
profession In Bangor, afterward remov-
ing to Washington, d. c., where he held
an important position In the United
States overnment insane hospital.
It Is believed by many that DR.. Philip
Fl. s. Vaughan formerly OF Skowhegan,
the present assistant uperintendent, is
likely to succeed Or. Foster.
DR.. Vaughan was connected with the
Insane hospital in Augusta prior to his
Appointment as assistant superintendent
at the new hospital in Bangor and has
done excellent work as specialist. He
was married, January 3, 1894, to Miss
Wentworth Of this town.
His many friends here as we'll as In
Augusta, where he WAS very popular,
earnestly hope he may receive the de-
served promotion.
The appointment is to be made by the
board Of trustees OF insane hospitals, oil
which ex-Gov. Frederick RDbe of Cor
ham is president. The trustees hold q
meeting In January at which time the
matter will probably be considered

In Sixty-Fifth Year.

The REPORTER enters, this week, upon
its 65'h year. A very respectable age
for Maine weekly paper The
number in the State that have reached
this age is hot larger.
The REPORTER easily has more sub
scribers and readers that it ever before
had at the beginning of any year of its
existence. Its career has been one not
marked by spasmodic growth or rapid
increase in subscribers. The growth OF
our list, while it has been gradual, has
been continuous and that without any
extraordinary effort or forcing process.
Subscribers have come to the REPORTER
because they want to read what ia print
ed therein, and when they came, as a
rule, came to stay. Our subscribers are
intelligent, thrifty people, very largely
residing in Somerset county. We cater
to their needs in way of news as we I'M
derstand the case. The news of Somer-
set towns and information concerning
Somerset people, Somerset industries
and Somerset affairs take the lead in the
REPORTERS columns in marked degree.
Our paper is the paper of Somerset
county and hence Somerset people pat
ronize il. 1t has a fisld rtcogniz d by
all who have k owledge of the situation
and has a purpose to occupy that field
to the best of its ability, for the bent fiji
of al.
To our thousands Of leaders IN Somer-
set and elsewhere, we extend the greet
ing appropriate for the veteran Of "a
full years of lie in the newspaper field
to express, wishing them abundant hap
piness for the year 1904 with good
number of Sueh years to follow il.

The Panama Message.

The country Is with President Rooso-
welt In his Panama policy and responds
In prompt approval of his message to
Congress on the Panama situation. The
message itself will stand among the in-
portant papers from the pens OF Presi-
dents OF this gre nation, peer OF the
best and ableet. IL cannot be gainsaid
or its powerful arguments ef tied by
the cavils or sophistries of Democratic
leaders who desire above all things to
make political capital though the heavens
fall.
IL ought to be sufficient that the DEM
oeratic magnates, III and out of Con-
gress, oppose the Panama policy OF
President Roosevelt and the Republican
party to prove forever that it is right
and sound. But there are other proofs
of the craftsmanship of this policy In
abundance. The people of the nation
are for 1t. The reliable newspapers OF
the country and of Europe iustify the
course persued by President Roosevelt
and the nations Of clviiz .tion, by recog-
nizing the Panama republic, have en-
dorsed it in practical way.
Had not our government solved the
problem by acknowledging Panama and
making treaty with her which ensures
the cutting of the canal, other nations
would have found way to accomplish
It. That apology for nation, Colombia,
will not be allowed longer to stand
athwart the path of progress and civiiiz-
alton and longer block the grand work
which shall speedily join the two greai
oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific
The canal must be constructed and will be
A century hence, the wonder will be
that any man or party of men could
possibly have been found who would
oppose the Panama canal, as it is now
wonder that anyone could have been
found to oppose the Louisiana Purchase,
a century ago

Fatalities from Fires.

Fires are occurring since the advent Of
1904, thick and fast. One at Dxfeld,
Tuesday, destroyed a $4,000 toothpick
factory throwing 100 men out of en-
ployment.
Several persons narrowly escaped with
their lives and one man persisted in a
fire which totally destroyed the Tontire
hotel, Brunswick, early Tuesday. Loss
$4,000, fully covered by insurance.
The victim was Scion Bramhall of Cam
den, aged 80 years, employed as a paint
er. Bramhall occupied room in the
rear of the building. Bramhal's body
was found In the ruins six hours later
burned beyond recognition aud froz n.
The legs were burned eff below the
knees.
A defective chimney in a boarding
house used as dormitory by women
students of the State Normal School 10
Pennington caused fire which cost a
life and badly damaged the building,
early Tuesday. Mrs. Amanda Damon, a
native of Lewiston. was suffocated. The
other occupants fed from the building
scantily clad and were not Injured.

The death Of Gen. James Lopgstreet
removes the last lieutenant general Of
the Confederate army with the excep.
tion Of Gen. Gordon. He died at Games
vile, Ca, Saturday the 2nd inst, from
an attack of acute pneumonia. His age
was 81 years. After Gen. Lee he was
the best loved and probably the ablest
general officer OF the Confederate side In
the great conflict OF 1868, and one OF
the best representative men Of the South
ern type Of men who gave character to
the southern side of that war. A
veteran OF the Mexican War and a grad
uate OF West Point, he went with his
state, South Carolina. when 1t seceeded
from the union. he WAS, however, one
Of the first to accept the new order at
the close Of the war, ard was rewarded
for his loyalty to abe reconstructed union
by position as minister to Turkey and
commissioner of the Pacific railroad. He
was a on'cientlous rebel and later
thoroughly loyal to the reconstructed
union. The giants OF the Civil war are
mostly all on the other side of 1.-THE
River"

At Washington.

The Senate committee on military af
fairs have voted to to report favor
ably on the promotion of Gen. Leonard
Wood.
After INDUCING in the holiday season
Congress met on Monday last. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Panama message, sent
to Congress after its reassembling, Mon
day noon, was the event of the day.
The House adjourned before it could be
received there, but the Senate listened
for an hour and quarter, and with
great interest, to its contents The cor
respondence between Gen. Reyes and
Secretary Hay, sent with the message,
was not read, but it's tenor was easily
inferred from the message itself 1t is a
very forceful paper and meets the sp-
proval of Republicans, but Democrats in
the Senate largely dissent Immedi-
ately upon the conclusion of it's reading
discussion upon the Panama issue was
entered upon, participated in by several
leading Republicans and Democrats.

A Christmas dinner in logging camp
is in the direction of Innovation, this,
however, took place, this season, 10
Camp No. 3, Roach river, on Christmas
day at noon. Decoration of the camp
with evergreens, the reading of an adj
dress sent from the outer world, partak-
ing of an elaborate dinner, a handsome
gold watch and chain to the cook, with
songs, step-danclng, and story telling
In the evening, is an improvement upon
the cold besus, bread and hot tea In the
open-the usual fare OF lumbermen upon
Christmas as we'll as other days. The
stslwsrt lumbermen In Maine forests are
entitled to the best there is available.
We have long admired the hardy, pluck
man whose work is In the forests of
Maine. He Is hearty, generous, light
hearted, endures hardship incident to
cutting and hauling spruce logs to the
landing, and driving them upon the sur
face of the streams and rivers to the
mills, and does 1t for moderate comper-
saton. There Is this fact, however,
these men get better wages now than
they ever did before, live In better
camps and have better food to eat than
in former times. We are glad they do.
They deserve It.

The wisest Indian philosophy has
never hoggled, like ours, over tint silly
word supernatural The Upanishad
says. What is in the visible exists also
in the invisible. and what is i'll Brain,
world is also here The ultimate, al.
belt unreachable, is as real to the A
attic mind as rice and in the Bhagavad-
Gita Arjuna is actually permitted To
behold the embodied infinite. Indeed
1t is rather this present existence which
India regards as the illusion, the MAYA.
