The Waterville Races.

Maine Track at Waterville, last week,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, was at
tended by large number of horsemen
from this section, and the sport wit
messed far exceeded anything of like
nature ever held In this vicinity. There
were three good events each afternoon,
all contested by large field OF horses,
but apparently in each event the money
went to the fastest horse, as is not al
ways the case.
We learn that Col. Morrill,, under
whose management the races were held,
was so encouraged by the meet that he
is to hold another two days event over
the same course, August l6 and Il.

The First Peace Meeting.

The arrival of III. Witte, the Russian
commissioner, with full plenipotentiary
powers, even to the extent of agreeing
to an indemnity or cessiCn of territory
to Japan, was the occasion of a cordial
greeting, as he sailed into New York
harbor. He cannot speak word OF
English, but he presented Written
speech, which shows him to be an astute
and able diplomat. "His compliment
tary words in regard to the American
President and people, his reference to
the friendly relations between the Unit
ed states and Russia and his characteri-
cation of the high motive that prompted
the, suggestion of holding the confer
ence, we're in good taste and OF nature
to put guest ard host at their ease,
though they do not touch the main
point.
He said, In the course of his remarks:
II need hardly point out that it is my
ardent desire that the two chivalrous
foes, who first became acquainted in
field of battle, may have found in each
others sterling qualities, motives power
full enough TO cultivate that acquaint-
anceship until it ripens into lasting
friendship. Meanwhile, however, the
terms offered must first be ascertained
weighed and judged admissible by Rus
STA before she can proceed to formal
negotiations"
On Saturday at Oyster Bay Russians
and japanese clasped hands and greeted
one another with all outward evidence
of cordiality, and for the first time since
nations began to have relations one with
another, an executive of great western
world power received the ENJOYS of two
belligerent countries on a mission of
peace.
President Roosevelt, on behalf of the
United states and its people, extended
formal greetings to the representatives.
of Russia and Japan, introduced the
plenipotentiaries 10 one another and
entertained them at an elaborate lunch
con, at which Russians and Japanese
fraterDized with one another as com
rades rather than as enemies.
During the luncheon President Roose-
welt proposed notable toast, in which
he expressed the "earnest hope and
prayer, in the interest not only of these
two great powers, but of all civilized
mankind, that a just and lasting peace
may speedily be concluded between
them" The occasion was historic and
impressive. 1t was attended not by
pomp and ceremony, but by simplicity
and frankness characteristic of the
President and people of America.
Due honor was paid to the distin.
guished guests & the President and of
the country aud they were received with
the dignity due their exalted rank. The
parties came in yachts provided by the
government. The reception was perfect
in every respect, no preference being
given by the President to either nation.
1t was expected that the Conference
would begin at the Kittery Navy yard,
Monday, but there was delay. M.
Witte arrived, but the Japanese were
delayed 80 that the preliminary meeting
did not take place until tuesday morn

Look For Happiness.

Some one has said that we find what
we are looking for i'll this world, If
that is true. and it is true in a GER
tain measure how very much better
and more wholesome to be looking for
kindness rather than Sights, for hap
piness rather than misery, for the
flowers of life rather than its thorns,
says Woman's Life. Even when these
things seem impossible you may think
them so, and by the power of your IL
lusions make them come true. Illusion
and dislllusion are to the mind what
rose cOlored and blue epectacles are to
the eyes illusion the rose, diSillusion
the blue It may seem a sort of childs
play to hold So fast to that which may
be mythical but anything is worth
while which makes for happiness and
peace.

The deficit in the national treasury
continues, and on the question of ways
and means Senator Cullon of Illinois
says, 'the way to stop deficits is by re-
trenchment. We have got to get down
to more economical basis" 1t is his
opinion that good many million can be
saved by careful expenditures. In the
last five years the national expenditures
have increased about 100000, 900 a year,
mainly of course on account of navy
building and rural free delivery. II
seems possible to find places where con-
siderable saving can be made, and let
Congress try it.

AS the managers of State and county
fairs are getting ready for their fall ex-
hibitions, the question of amusements
comes prominently before them. No
doubt the original intent of these fairs
was the furtheranee of agriculture and
the mechanic arts. That is why the State
hands over its annual stipend. 1t would
be unfair to ask the State to give money
for circus performances or "nigger
shows" Still little spice mixed in
will hurt no one. After the severe

little time has been given to his work in

cheerfulness and courage and by sheer
force of will kept himself alive for
months after the doctors had given him
up.
