A Word For The Retiring Leader.

Biddeford Journal)
The banquet to Hon. f. NJ. Simpson
at Hallowell, Tuesday evening, On his
retirement from the craftsmanship of
the Republican State committee, was
deserved tribute to that gentleman's
valuable services as a leader in
Names dominant political party. For
years his counsel has been potent in
guiding his party along the path of
success and there is general regret
that he should have been compelled.
through increasing pressure OF Off
cial and private interests, to give up
a work he is so well fitted by nature
and experience to perform. Mr.. Simp-
son, i'll the office which he has just
resigned, showed himself TO be a
leader of large executive ability, tact
full and energetic. However much
his retirement may be regretted. there
is consolation in the fact that there
are men of the acknowledged ability
of Hon. Seth NJ. Carter Of Auburn to
take the position vacated. Mr.. Simp-
son will long be remembered in Maine
as a leader upon whose counsel and
advice it was always safe to rely.

The STAGE and Westminster Abbey.

II is over Il century since an English
actor has been paid the great honor of
A burial at Westminster Abbey which
has lust now been accorded Sir Henry
Irving and vet the honor is by no
means a unique one, since dozen OF
the old-time actors, not to mention as
many more dramatists sleep their last
sleep within that famous structure.
Shakespeare, as everybody knows,
sleeps elsewhere, but is represented in
the Abbey by a statue. The dramatlsts
who are buried there include Beau
mont, Dryden, Shadwell, Rowe, Behn'
Addison, Congrieve, Gay. Goldsmith
Cumberland, Bulwer, Lytton, BroWhihs
and Tennyson. though the last three
named to he sure. are better known as
novelists and poets than as driiiia'is'''

Henderson: also five actresses, Nance

crawford, the last named being the wife
of Stranger Barry. The last of those
named to be buried there was John
Henderson, in 1899. six years after the

stage has had a resting place in that

Working at the Pace That Kills.


Ex-Ambassador Joseph H. Choate,
upon returning to this country after an
eight years absence in England, de-
cIarcs that the American people are
more given to the pace that kills than
they were when he left to take up the
duties of his foreign post. In Il speech
recently delivered in New York at a
dinner given in his honor. he dwelt
upOn this matter and expressed the
opinion that the extreme strenuouslty
Of our times is a matter for regret
rather than CongratulatiOn. 1t was
his idea that Americans would do bet
ter if they devoted themselves less eX-
clueively and energetically to business
and Maid more attention to the art OF
rnioying life. He thought that they
might Practically emulate the example

Glistened with the recent rain;

Through the orchard, past the mill,

Morphine as A Medicine.
Utica PreSS.)

L
Morphine has its uses in medicine,
but the less it is used the better. 1t
is the bounden duty of doctors to eX-
ercise every possible care and precau-
ton to prevent their patients from be-
coming addicted to the habit. 1t is
fraught with terrible dangers. Peo-
pie accept Il physicians prescription
unhesitatingly, and SO the response
bility is heavy upon the man who
prescribes. There is many case
that can be traced directly back TO
some doctor who was the first to sug-
gest the use of the drug. The subject
is one that cannot be discussed too Of
ten, for the dangers of morphine can
not be too thoroughly emphasized.
Physicians ought to prescribe it very
sparingly, and the patients will be the
best off who use none of it at all.

Further from the South the sun
DrOOpS his failing head.
Now the Summers course is run
And her pride is dead;
Rich along the wecdcd roads
GCldcnrod stands tall,
And the purple thistle mist
PlumeS the summers Fall.
All the golden light of DAYS
Now forever fed,
Dwells, as in a living blaze
In the suntiowers head;
And the tinting of the sky,
When the world was green,
Warm, on yellow, pink and red
Foliage is seen.
On the wide FURNISHED fields,
Melts the summers ore,
And the autumn's glory yields
lmmemOrial lore;
Deathless cycles of the year
Wheel the seasons round
Whether human hearts be here,
Or beneath the ground.
Now in drOwsy autumn dreams
Locked the landscape lies,
While a chastened glory streams
From the azure skies:
Like the harmony of bloom
On ripe fruit. the days
Mornings blush and evenings dyes
Blur in mist-blue haze.
Grapes are purpling in peace,
As OF yore they hung
In the Vineyards OF old Greece,
When the world was young;
Apples Of Hesperides
In the orchards CLEAN,
To entice some Hercules
OF poetic dream.

Japan's GROWING Naval Power.

The great naval parade with which
Admiral Togo and his victorious fleet,
to report to the emperor the official
ending of the war with Russia, was one
of the most impressive and significant
naval demonstrations in all history.
Perhaps its most prominent feature
was the proof given that Japan has
come out of a war which was largely
fought upon the water with its navy
actually stronger than when the war
began. This. too, in spite of the fact
that several of Japan'S best fighting
ships were destroyed.
1t is clear now that the japanese
gained from Russia more battleships
and cruisers than the war cost them
They seem to have nearly doubled the
strength of their navy in heavy fight
ing ships. In smaller craft the losses
were relatively more and the gains
less, but there was a great increase in
total tonnage and in the efficiency OF
the navy for use against any foe.
The success of the japanese engi-
neers and naval architects in raising
and repairing the Russian ships sunk
ana badly battered at Port Arthur
has been surprisingly great. Indeed
the conclusion seems inevitable that
the Efforts Of the Russians to destro!
their own vessels before the surren-
DER of the fortress We're only half
hearted or else extremely futile and
laundering. 1t is clear that few ships
of any Importance were blown up by
the explosion of their own magazines
or torn to pieces by submarine mines.
The gains which the Mikado's navy
| has made by the acquisition of Rus
sian ships will soon he supplemented
| by the addition of several new battle
ships and armOred cruisers of the
| finest type which are now in process
of construction. Then the navy Of
japan will be more than twice as
| strong as it was when the chances o
war with Russia were ventured.
