pleasant and some otherwise.
Mr.. Hartman met a gentleman. an old
schoolmate whom he had not seen before
for 30 years. and passed a pleasant half

days. Mr.. Maxey was extremely gratificd
at being elected national delegate to go to

Abbott Lord. the Smthtown store
keeper who was so seriously injured by
a fall. Wednesday night. has recovered
sufficiently TO walk about town and he
is looking after his business as usual.
The wound sustained by Lord. accord
ing to DR.. Simons, who dressed it, is a
very severe one and it was due only to
the mans wonderful nerve and vitality
that he did not give way to the shock.
His head, yesterday. was swathed in
hi ndag and the wound requires fire.
Ouent dressings, but it is not thought
than any serious consequences will re-
suit. It required IA stitches to close the
wound. three of which are underneath
the scalp. next to the bare skull. and
the removal of these stitches will be Il
very painful operation.

"PEAcE NO DISGRACE"
Where War Is Carried On at Such
Cost" Say Russian Mothers.

London. April 2S.-"But if czars and
generals feel the disgrace of peace, then
let us mothers of all the masses revolt
against those slaughters which have SD
rent our hearts,"
Thus concludes a powerful appeal for
peace written by Countess Sophie Toll
stoy To friend, published in this morn
ing'S Times. The letter e,oquently de-
scribcS the terrible suffering Russia is
enduring through the war. maintains
that practically the whole people con-
dennis the war and says:
Peace cannot be a disgrace, as many
wrongly imagine. A lost war is not a
disgrace. but Il misfortune. A spiritual
ly undeveloped. unchristian nation such
as the japanese was bound to conquer
for among them is rife the principle of
patriotism. which is opposed to the
Christian principle of love of ones
neighhor and therefore OF opposition to
war. They have not yet grown up to this
standard. but the Russians are on the
way to it.
Better let go all thos, lands acuuir-
ed by such igsanely cruel methods in
order that the remaining land should
prosper and the people bless their
rulers"

dressing, today. the committee of the
Progressive party, appointed to succor
the wounded, estimated the number of
wounded and sick as a result of rho
war at 100000 to 200 ,0GO and the numhar

$4,000 Tie count warned the people n
be prepared for a long war and OK
pressed the hope that it's length would
not effect the national sentiment. Moth.
ing should shake the resolution to con-
tinue the war. He expressed the opin-
ion that timely diplomatic skill would
have prevented the Russian squadron
from coming to the Far East.
The count thought that the occasion
for great battles had disappeared. 1t
was possible to support the army
throughout the remainder of the war
with the S71,5o00O0 derived from war
taxes and the speaker urged a contin-
uancc of national economy and frugal
ity. Count Okuma ascribed the success
of Japan to Il constitutional government
and compulsory education.

Fast Day in Gardiner.

Fast day in Gardiner was generally
observed as day of rest and recreation
and not particularly as one of fast and
religious DEVOTION as in the olden times.
The stores and business houses remain
ed closed during the day and the down
town streets were as calm and repose-
full as on The Sabbath. A number of
Gardiner folks went out to the pond
ard the lakes to pass the day at their
camps and several went to other cities
on visiting expeditions. An attraction
at the Augusta Opera house drew well
from Gardiner, both afternoon and
evening, and there were several private
dinners and card parties given in the
city.
