 his stomach. In the fall of 1903 he took the entrance examinations to Bowdoin college, and would have entered, only his physical condition was such that he could not stand the work. As he was an artist of considerable merit, he att tended the Pape Art school in Boston for a term, completing some exceeding ly we'll executed paintings, which are now at his fathers home. This fall young Flanders tried the en- trance examinations to Yale and failed, and this made him very Respondent, and is thought to be the reason why he killed himself. On the advise of some of the Yale professors the young man decided to go to the high school in this city and stay for a year. He entered and after a day or so told his father that he could never stand going over the same work again, so his father allowed him to drop out. His father then asked him if he would not like to attend Colby college at Waterford, Me, and young Flanders said that he would. He went there and remained a short while, but becoming tired of it there he went tc. a pastor friend of his fathers who resided in Biddeford and visited there for awhile, after which he came to this city about a, month ago.
 Since lis last arrival here he had been constantly at home with the ex- ceptions of New Years day, when he was alone all day, and in a very de- spondent frame of mind. Last night after eating his supper he left home. taking with him his old 22-calibre re- volver which he had sometimes used on Fourth of July. He went to where he was found and shot himself. The de- ceased was named after Daniel Ford. the proprietor of the Youths Con- panion magazine. who was a great friend of MT. Flanders, ST. Young Flanders had host of friends in all parts of the country who will be deep- ly grieved to learn of his death.
 What makes the case even sadder. if possible, is the fact that eight years ago last August when Rev. MT. Elan ders and his family were at their sum- 'AiSA hoAiiC 1L olu IuGlr eighteen year old son. Wayne, while in swim ming was carried out by the undertow and drowned. It was a great shock to Mrs. Flanders and one from which she has just apparently somewhat recover ed. Grave fears are now expressed for her as a result of last nights calamity. This is the fifth child which the connie have lost and there is but one remain ing, an elder daughter, Miss Edith
 Everything that was possible had been done by the parents of the de- ceased to make him happy, and last night they were heartbroken as a. re- suit of the sudden news. It is needless to say that they have the sympathy of the entire community in their most sad bereavement.
 The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been fcomoleted.

REGRET EXPRESSED.
Refusal to Allow British Cruiser to
 Land Supplies at Port Arthur.

Tolio, Jan. 9.-The navy department announces that it regrets the misun- derstanding in the case os the British cruiser Andromeda. which sailed from Wei-Hai-Wei January for Port Ar thur with hospital stores and surgeons to assist the sick and wounded and was not permitted to make landing.
 The department says the commander at Port Arthur refused the aid offered by the Andromeda owing to the fact that he had not received instructions. The British authorities at Wei-Hai- Wei were late in notifying Sir Claude M. Macdonald, the British minister at Tokio, of the mission of the cruiser. When the minister received notification he immediately obtained from the Jap anese authorities their grateful accept ance of the cruisers cargo. Orders to receive the supplies were sent. to Port Arthur, but when they reached there the Andromeda had left on her return

AT PLYMOUTH lCHURCH.
FINE ADDRESS BY REV. MR.
 REED.

Great Truths Can Only he IneuIcated
 by ExampIe-EViIs of Great Trusts
 Fraudulent Elections.
 At the Plymouth church Sunday morning the pulpit was occupied by the Rev. MT. Reed, of Massachusetts, who is temporarily residing in this city. He preached from the text Faithful unto Death,''
 During his address he incidentally spoke of some of the great trusts, say ing that pernicious work had been done by some of them, which they wrought. He said that a certain man at the head of one of the great trusts had, as it has been asserted, bribed the United States senate to pass a certain bill, and that in smaller legislatures attempts of this kind were becoming very common. He said that the man Of whom he had spoken was strangely enough a church member and Sunday school superinten- dent. He also dWelt on the fraudulent elections in Delaware and Montana and spoke in regard to some such state of affairs which was said to be pending at the present time in Connecticut.
 He asked if we wanted the example of men who instigated such things as these to influence oup children. We want men, he said, who stand for right eousness, mercy and justice.
 He then made and appeal to the young men in the audience, asking them if they would take their stand with the great Christian characters of history and great men of the present whom was officers high in the service of our government, which, he said, with all it's faults, was un-a doubtedly the best in the world-or with men whose lust is for gold, and who only thinks of their principles as secondary in importance.
 To the women in the audience he also made an appeal, asking if they would take their stand with Mary. that pure woman, who probably had such infiu- ence in regard to the human elements of Jesus life, and other Christian wo- men of history. or with women whose sole ambition is money, and who insti. gate their husbands to put gold before honesty. "On which side are you" he said.
