] Caesar the Things That are Caesars
and Unto God the Things That are
Gods" the speaker delivered most
eloquent sermon. He started out with
the premise that Decoration Day ought
to be a sacred one, and should not be
desecrated by horse racing, baseball
playing or picnicking. I'VE have, to
large extent" asserted Rev. Chaffee.
"divested the Fourth of July of its
patriotic character. and are in danger
of committing like offense against
Decoration Day, which ought to be the
most hallowed day in our national cal
endar."
The members of the G. A. r. and
the Confederate veterans, with the Wo-
mans Relief Corps and the Ladies of
the G. A. R., met at Elks' hall and
marched to the church in a body,
sizes to which they were entitled. At
the conclusion of the service they left
the church before the audience was
dismissed, the old veterans opening
ranks outside the vestibule for the
women's organizations to pass through.
An incident of the occasion was the
presentation by Captain H. NJ. Mingay
on behalf of Greenwood Post. G. A.
R., of an official badge of the Depart
ment of Colorado and Wyoming, to
Rev. Chaffee in recognition of the elo-
quent and patriotic discourse he had
delivered Rev. Chaffee was almost
overcome by this striking evidence of
appreciation and when the badge was
pinned upon the lapel of his coat did
not at once reply, although he later
expressed his thanks TO the donor for
the badge, which he stated he would
be proud to wear in token of the great
war which 1t symbolized. BY its ac-
ceptance Rev. Chaffee was made an
honorary member of the Grand Army
of the Republic, and, ito be enlisted
under its banner" said Rev. Chaffee,
"is an honor second only to that of
being soldier under the biood-stain-
ed cross of Christ"

The Corn Bin Broke Down.
CRASHED THROUGH TWO FLOORS Al
sHURTLEFF's GRAIN MILL.

There was crash and smash at the
grain mill of A. E. Shurtleff Friday fore
noon, fortunately without injury to any
one, though r. N. Hall, who was just
coming through the outside door of the
mill, was within six feet of the wreckage
which would have buried him if it had
struck him.
The corn bin on the second floor of
the building is square bin, half the
width of the building. The floor was
new, put in during the repairs since the
fire, and was supported by new hemlock
timbers, 2x10, with gains cut at the ends
to 90 on to the timbers of the frame.
With five or six hundred bushels OF corn
in the bin, the weight proved too much,
and the timbers broke off, letting the
whole section of the floor through. On a
portion of the floor directly below were
piled barrels of flour and sacks OF bran.
Adding to the weight of this the corn
which fell from the floor above was too
much, and the section of the first floor
also gave way, dumping the whole pile
into the cellar.
The flour and feed, being in sacks and
barrels, is not difficult to get back. The
loose corn is more troublesome. No
other part of the mill except that one
section was injured, and none of the
machinery was damaged.

to resubmission, he declared that "the
people" wanted chance to vote on the
prohibitory amendment, and scored the
Republican party for denying them their
right.
Taking up the matter of taxation, he
declared that taxes had been very in
equitable under Republican administra-
ton, and for special illustration cited
the law passed in 1891 by which the
Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, which
had not then been built, was to have
ninety-five per cent Of its taxes returned
to 1t by the state, In return for the free
transportation of troops In time Of war,
and gave figures to show what the cost
had been to the state. He closed with
an exhortation to the Democrats to get
out their vote.
The convention closed few minutes
after o'clock.
While approaching fully the compli-
ment paid him by the nomination, Mr..
Bean, the Register of Deeds, does not
think advisable for him as Republican
to accept the nomination of the Demo-
cratic convention, and it ia understood
that he will not sign the nomination
papers.

independence Day at South Paris.

independence 10y az Sooth al 10
The Glorious Fourth was unmarked
by anything sensational or even unduly
exciting here. There was an average
amount of noise, or perhaps a little
more, in the hours following midnight
The authorities at the Methodist church
had decided not to allow that bell to b.
rung on account of the risk to the clock
and posted watchmen there to see the
decision was carried out. Therefore the
bell was not rung, although it is said
that some of the enthusiasts declared
they would ring it in spite of anything
this side of place which people are a
little careful about mentioning in polite
society.
In their zeal the celebrators secured a
pair of pole climbers, and attempted to
scale three several corners of the build
ing, punching holes in the finish and
splitting some of the clapboards. How
they thought they were going to get
over the wide jet at the caves of the
building is something that no one has
found out, but at any rate they got only
a few feet above the ground. The other
bells were rung, and fair amount of
powder burned.
During the day there was the Grand
Army picnic, which the weather drove
into the hall. Dinner was served there,
and in the afternoon an address on the
Declaration of Independence was given
by Rev. j. II. Little.
There being nothing in the nature of a
genera! programme here, a good num-
Der of the people took in the Norway
celebration, both in the forenoon and
afternoon, but the weather and other
considerations took the heart out OF 80
many of the features of that that what
was left was rather tame.
There were fifteen different varieties
of weather in the course of the day, by
actual count, but only one condition of
the roads, and that was mud.

MODEST CLAIMS OFTEN CARRY
THE MOST CONVICTION.

When Maxim, the famous gun in
ventor, placed his gun before a COM
mittee of judges, he stated its carrying
power to be much below what he felt
sure the gun would accomplish. The
result of the trial was therefore a great
surprise, instead of disappointment:
1t is the same with the manufacturers OF
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhea Remedy. They do not publicly
boast of all this remedy will accomplish,
but prefer to let the users make the
statements. What they do claim, is that
it will positively cure diarrhea, dyson

Celebration n NORWAY.

The numerous and varied weather Of
Wednesday interfered considerably with
the extensively advertised celebration Of
the Fourth at Norway. In fact, 10 the
morning it looked 80 doubtful, to say
the least, that it was questionable
whether anything could be done.
The s o'clock parade was finally
organized, what was left of it, about
o'clock, in Printing House Square. The
Norway Band and the Berlin Band led
the respective sections of the parade,
though there was hardly enough of it to
divide in two sections. Co. d, N. G. S.
NJ, and the two bands, with fine disre-
gard for the three inches of mud and
water in the street, marched to the fair
grounds, and the horribles fell in behind.
A take-off on the Norway Band, made
up of "kids," took the first prize in the
horribles. Besides this there was a good
hit on the long deferred Waterford
electrics," and two or three minor af-
fairs. An independent company of
colored riders from Paris Hill whooped
into town little late and went back
again. Some thirty decorated teams
were got ready by the merchants and
others, but none of them started in the
mud, and it did not take the procession
long to pass given point, unless the
point was moving in the same direction.
At the fair grounds the base ball
tournament simmered down to two
games-if they were entitled to the term
which are reported elsewhere. The
sky cleared in the middle of the day, but
a little before o'clock a tempest of a
shower beat through the grand stand.
moistening somewhat the large crowd
assembled there, and making the track q
sea of mud, so that no races could be
run. Co. d gave quite pretty exhibit
ton drill soon afterward, with soldierly
disregard for wet grass and things, and
the ball ground dried out so as to allow
the game to be started about 3 o'clock
and contrary to the expectations of the
spectators, it was finished before dark.
A potato race was run off during the
day, the first prize of 50 going to
Thomas Leonard, and the second of 81 to
Frank LaFrance.
In the evening there was band con-
cert at Witherell Park, and good dis
play of fireworks near the residence of
c. w. Horne on Elm Street. There was
also roller skating at Central Park,
which was opened for the season that
evening

A SUSTAINING DIET

These are the enervating days, when
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as II the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus.
tanned; and this leads US to say, in the
interest of the less robust of our readers,
that the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety OF
calling this medicine something besides
a blood purifier, and tonic,-say, sus-
tanning diet. 1t makes it much easier TO
bear the heat, assures refreshing sleep,
and will without any doubt avert much
sickness at this time of year.
