From Service i'm the
U. s. Navy.
ON BOARD THE CAMBRIDGE
With Torpedo Boat Destroyer Fleet on
Journey Filled With Exciting In
cidents in the Far East.

dent of this city, a seaman in the Unit
ed States navy, arrived in Rock Island

around the world. His term OF enlist
ment has closed and he expects TO Wis
it with his parents during the remain

decided whether he will reenlist. Dur
ing the cruise just finished, Mr.. Jen-
sen visited all the leading historical
places in the world He has seen plac-
es made famous by war and religion
and can tell some very interesting in
cidents which occurred during his long
Journey He saw the siege of Port
Arthur and was stationed on one of the
torpedo boat destroyers that did patrol
duty outside the firing line during this
important engagement in the Japanese
war AS a fitting finish of the cruise
he was in the San Francisco earth
quake and narrowly escaped death.
Mr.. Jensen enlisted in the United
States navy at Davenport, July 19, 1902
and was ordered to the naval training
station at Norfolk, Va. where he spent
three months in work preparatory to

The Itinerary of the Trip.
He was stationed on the torpedo boat
destroyer cambridge after two months
work ON the Columbia and started in
the cruise around the world from Key
West Dec. %. 1903. The first fiot.lla
feet of five torpedo boat destroyers
took the cruise. the boats being Deca-
tur, Dale, Barry, Chauncey and Balm
bridge This cruise is perhaps the
most wonderful undertaking ever at
tempted by any nation in the world
and proved the efficiency of the United
States navy The fleet is capable OF
making 80 miles an hour, making a
trial run of 80 miles in three hours.
Porto Rico and the Canary islands
were visited after which the fleet went
To Gibraltar thence through the Medi-
terranean and the SueZ canal TO India
During the cruise through the Mediter-
ranean the sailors visited the cities of
Naples and Rome.
The fleet cruised through the Indian
ocean and thence through the Pacific
, 20, the Philippines. During the Japan
csc war the torpedo boat destroyers
did patrol duty just outside the firing
line and carried the Americans from
the besieged city to Shanghai, China.
While the boats were anchored in
the port of Shanhai the Russian cruiser
Askold and the torpedo boat destroyer
Jrosovoi came in the harbor for re-
pairs. During their stay at this place
the American fleet was in danger OF an
encounter with the Japanese, but the
prompt action of the American com
manders prevented any trouble.
After the expiration of his enlistment
Mr.. Jensen departed for San Francisco
and was in the disaster caused by the
earthquake.

AMENDMENT IMPERATIVE

Washington, March Ex-senator Till
man yesterday presented TO the Senate
his report from the committee on inter
state commerce on the House railroad
rate bill, which expressed his views, but
did not pretend to speak for any other
member Of the committee.
II embodied the first clear and con
else statement Of the differences concern
ing court review featudes and other
proposed amendments that had made a
unanimous report from the committee
impossible.
clared it TO be his belief that the bill
should be amended, but that amend
msnts should not be OF character to
impair or prevent the accomplishment
OF the objects Of the legislation, which
are set forth best, he says, in the Pres
ident's message TO Congress He empha-
sired the need Of regarding the measure
as bipartisan, but predicted that the
issue created will be paramount in the
next presidential election. As to the
effect, he said
Those who are responsible for delay
or inadequate legislation will find that
when at last the floodgates OF popular
wrath and Indignation are hqisted there
win have been some fine grinding done.
Mr.. Tillman prefaced the report BY
speaking OF the peculiar circumstances
ruling the committees actions on the
House bill, which made it an embarrass.
ing task to submit views that would be
eoncuned in by the committee as a
whole.
Emphasizing the claim that the con
dition is without precedent in legisla-
tive history, Mr.. TilIman says IL brings
into prominence the fact that the pro
posed legislation is non-partisau and is
so recognized, as a result OF the unani-
nous support given 1t by the minority
in the House, and the few opposing
otes-only seven--in that entire body.

History of Church as Prepared by Mrs
Mary Palmer Eddy.
Following the anthem Mrs. Mary
Palmer Eddy read brief history OF the
MarShfeld Congregational church, pre-
pared by herself, and which awakened
special interest in ALL
"The material for the early history
Of this church has been gathered from
the quaint old records, which are re-
markably full as church records 20, and
wonderfully well preserved. This church
was organized Dec 25th, 1900, in the
south part Of this town, at the home
of one Capt. Stephen Rich This, the
north part of the town, was probably
at that time an unbroken forest, which
was not settled until some years later
Rev. James Hobart Of Berlin officiated
at the organization and drew up the
articles of faith and covenant.
"There were thirteen original mem
bers, all bearing good old Bible names
They were Ebenezer Dodge, Selah Wells,
Gideon Spencer, Joseph Wells, Ebeneger
Wells, Mrs. Rebekah Dodge, Mehitahsl

nant, confession of faith, articles Of dis.
cipline, all documents of considerable
length, and there was also short article
embodying their belief in and purpose Ia
practice infant baptism. Each OF these
articles were signed by those uniting
with the church"
This church for twenty-five years af.
ter its formation met and worshipped in
the private houses and sometimes, in
warm weather, in the barns of the
neighborhood. All this time they bad

CARD FROM RICKERT & WELLS.
Their Liberal Offer to Treat Worst Case
of catarrh in Barre.
To the Editor.

10 the Editor:
We have such an unusual offer to
make to your readers, one that will be
of the greatest value to them, that VIC
hope you will give this letter prominent
location.
For some time we have had an oppor-
tunity to watch the results following the
use of Hyomei, a treatment for catarrh
that cures by breathing medicated air,
absolutely without any stomach dosing.
The result have been SO remarkable that
we feel justified in making public
offer to treat the worst case Of catarrh
in Barre, with the understanding that
If Hyomei does not cure it win cost
absolutely nothing.
People who have spent great deal of
money with catarrh specialists, deriving
but little benefit, have seen almost i'm
mediate good results from the use OF
Hyomei, and continued treatment with
this remedy has resulted in a complete
and lasting cure.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs only
81, and consists Of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and a bottle Of Hyomei Should
this not be enough for cure, extra
bottles Of Hyomei can be obtained for
so cents Compare this small expense
with the fees charged BY specialists, and
remember we guarantee the treatment
will cost nothing unless II cures.
We hope this offer will be accepted
by many u your readers,
Very truly yours,
RickeTt a. Wells.

The speaker went on to say: Names
often have historical significance, and in
them we may find picture OF the times
n which they became part Of current
thought and speech. Among these historic
waymarks, the name which our New
England fathers gave the building set
apart for sacred worship is Of special
note. They called it meeting house,
and it was fitting name. In the house
thus designated, they met first their
God and then each other" and further
explanations followed OF the uses Of
this meeting house.
Further, "In our growth and develop
ment, heredity has had its part; and in
every New England community the place
| VI MOIhHtD bhifA -ANAhbi8h W
the old, meeting house Of our fathers :"
1T is right and meet that we should
have houses OF worship set apart and
dedicated to the service of God. 1t is
also safe, think, to say that the house
| should rank first IN cost and comeliness
among the public edifces. Public build.
| n9s are the visible embodiment Of the
public spirit; and any stranger going
into any community can Judge of the
communal life there by the appearance
Of these structures. Good churches in
any place make good homes, and, con-
yersely, good homes should make good
churches"
In closing, DIR. Merrill said: "Those
Of you who worshipped here in past
cars will remember one word frequent.

/ 1rayers Of one Of your former pastors.
| Il remember rightly it gave emphasis

zed II is for this that we meet here

branches of Congress, that the conclu-
sion viii be almost inevitable that it
will be framed SO as to accomplish the
results intended or claimed to be in
tended BY both parties, and TO this end
Democrats and Republicans alike should
bend all their energies and lend all
that is best in them to perfectiDg and
passing 50 important piece OF legis-
lation."
There would follow cyclone of pas
sionate resentment" said Mr. Tillman
in predicting what would be the result
OF failure on the part OF Congress to
meet the widespread demand for railroad
rate legislation. He declared that woe
will be the harvest" of any member of
the Senate OF House whose work in
formulating bill to regulate railroads
lacks earnestness or honesty of purpose
and who shall seek to belittle the ques
tion or kill the bill by subterfuge and
deception. The constitution gives Ito
Congress the power to regulate the rail
roads, he commended, and there are many
wrongs TO right.
Summing up the situation, be said
1T is impossible to deny that this
great accumulation Of wealth in the
hands OF the few is such menace
to iberty that the honest patriot stands
appalled, by the outlook"
After commenting at length upon
what he declared to be the existing
system of Juggling with railroad prop
critics "for the robbery of the Masses
Mr.. Tillman stated that this phase of
the subject brings into great prominence
and Importance "the relation to Con-
gress of the increase in capitalization;
whether II is the purpose of Congress
to compel the business industries to
pay dividends, not upon the real value
of these properties, but on the fictitious
value which has been sought to be placed
upon them by the increased capitaliza-
ton"
Mr.. Tillman declared that there could
be no justice in compelling the people as
a whole to pay dividends on wstered
stock primarily to increase the fortunes
OF men already too rich. He commended
that "the poor dupes" who have been led
to invest their savings in such stocks
can better afford to lose those earnings
than to have the labor of the country
saddled with the burden of paying per-
petual tribute in the shape of dividends
on dishonest valuations.
Whatever else Congress does or fails
to do" he added, "the producers of the
country should be relieved from such
danger OF being compelled to make good
the valeus Of over-acpitaliaed railroads
as Turks in this innocent looking and
plausible provision about fairly remun-
erative rates
Mr.. Tillman recommended that amend.
ments to the bill be adopted which would
give relief to 'the anomalous and out
rageous condition Of affairs disclosed as
existing in West Virginia

II. a. Poole of Barre delivered the dedi-
catory address. His one theme foremost
and throughout this wonderful article
was "Brothe!y love, human kindness and
worship Of God" The words of his text
were found in LIST John AGO, IF a
man say love God and hateth his broth
er, he is liar; Tor he that ioveth not
his brother whom he hath seen, how can
he love God, whom he hath not Scent"
The orator followed the life OF Christ
through the principal characteristics Of
bl'otherly love, Kindness, mercy, forgive
ness, chsrity, etc. Your reporter wishes
all who have not had the privilege Of
listeneing TO Rev. Air Poole might avail
themselves of the opportunity To those
who are familiar with his sermons, we
can only say it WAS Instructive, en-
couraging and pleasing.
Mr.. Poole's closing words were; I'VE

OF God. May this Marshie.d church,
