Rev. II. A. Hayes of Dover, Me, has
accepted "A call to the pastorate Of the
Free Baptist church in this city. which
has been without Il lcared since the
resignation of Rev. l.. A. Bradeen last
Christmas. Mr.. Hayes Will assume
his new duties in Gardiner, next Sun

welcome. Mr.. Hayes has filled the pull
pit of the Baptist church at Dover FOR
over eight years, and it is with regret
that the Pensioners there accepted his
resignation. In coming to Gardiner,
Mr.. Hayes believes that he is making
u desirable change, and both he and
his charming wife are sorrowful to
think that the pleasant relations of
their past years in Dover must be sew
cred. Mr.. Hayes is apparently bright
young man. a liberal thinker and emf
nently capable as an exponent of the
Gospel and as a business man to a de-
gree. He is a graduate of the Cobb Di-
vinity School of Bates College.

A Liverpool L Trip.

William Merrill tells the Journal that
his ocean voyage and visit in Liver
pool was one of the events of life
time, and he enjoyed himself to the
fullest extent.
1t was while working in Lynn shoe
factory that the plan was first pre-
sented to him by a friend. The liner
Michigan was to sail in a few days
and as the opportunity to ship as eat
tie boys" was found upon Investigation
to be still open, they decided to get
in the boat" and rough it for the fun
and excitement which might be in
store.
The Michigan is one of the big cat
tie steamers plying between Boston
and Liverpool and on the trip out car
ricd 200 head of cattle-quitc a good
many more cattle than Willie had
ever seen on his farm down here in
Hallowell The boys there were 50
in attendance upon the stock on the
COW deck"--hau regular duties to per-
form and regular hours in which to
give their undivided attention to those
duties. For all this the work was not
arduOuS and there was time for eating,
sleeping and for various forms of rec
reation. The discipline so far as the
boys was concerned. was excellent. The
cattle alone We're subject to fits of
melanchOlia and dependency.
The trip across was made in 10 days
with weather fair to good. Merrill
made friends with the cook and at
times assumed the duties of assistant
in this department. approaching fully
the many courtesies extended in the
way of fellow feeling" and a complete
approval of his undiminshcd eating
capacity.
Arriving in Liverpool safe and sound
the boys enjoyed shore leave for IA
days and thoroughly ransacked the old
English metropolis and suburbs. There
was much to be seen and they saw it
in true yankee" fashion. They turned
to the right. which is quite contrary to
the road rules of the old country. and
in this way met many of their Hing
liSh' cousins with a happy lack Of
ceremony at the expense of cornS, sore
feet, ct cetera.
Liverpool with it's S0O.O 900 inhabitants
is a large city but in general ways does
not compare with Boston, the Hub OF
the Universe" The oldness and con-
sequent lack of aesthetic conditions was
apparent. The buildings were in
clined to be low and squatty.
Women and children imbibe freely
of the ale in numerous bar rooms
Everybody seems contented and there
is small show of poverty.
The hOmeward trip was IA days and
the duties were insignificant SO that
| more than enough eat and sleep" was
given for their comfort
William declines to give even a mo-
ment's consideration to any before-the-
| mast proposition which may come to
him but it is his ambition to visit Aus
t1ala and it is not altogether extr;iva-
CANT to suppose that some day he will
be styled IA globe trotter."

Old Town, Me. Jan. 31.-Mrs. Mary
Gotta made the statement, today, that
she believed that the death of David
Neteyer and Clifford Columbo from

she is a widow and says that she and
COlunbO were to be married in the
spring. Meteyer had called on her
many times and WAS very persistent in
his attention. She would have nothing
to do With him because he was n mar
ried man and had Il family in Fall
River. Mcteyer became jealous of Co
l1;mbO and Mrs. Gotta believes both
bought alcohol knowing that it would
kin them all. She drank but very little,
but the men drank freely. Meteyer
died Sunday afternoon and Columbo on
Monday morning. People here who
We're acquainted with Meteyer say that

AN INTERVIEW.
Grand Duke Talks of Conditions in
Russia.

st. Petersburg, Feb. LEO A. NJ
Grand Duke Vladimir. uncle Of En-
peror Nicholas, and commond of the
Imperial Guards has granted an inter
view with The Associated Press at the
Dukes palace in Quay De La Cour ad-
joining the winter palace. The corre-
spOndent was received in the Grand
Dukes private study, into which he
was ushered by the Grand Dukes aide
de-camp, Prince Belaselsky. who has
the reputation of being one of the finest
polo players and most popular young
man in Europe. The prince was attired
in the dashing uniform of the Lancers
Of the Guard.

knows English perfectly, he prefers the
Callic tongue TO any except his own,
