from Bangor to San Francisco, the Hathaway

Club Meeting.

The Twentieth Century Club
met at the residence of Mrs. L.
E. Chovanetz Thursday afternoon.
The lesson was the first in the
German History and was quite
interesting. When the lesson
was over Mrs. Chovanetz brought
in two guessing contests; book
contest, consisting of pictures,
illustrating or concealing the
names of popular books; and q
kitchen contest" in which eve
ry question was answered by the
name of some article used in the
kitchen.
The guests spent a merry half
hour over their guesses and at
, the close it was found that Miss
Rerta Thornton had won both
prizes, a handsome inkstand and
an ornamental cushion AL
we're then invited out to the din
ing room, where a delicious lunch

Swollen Fortunes.

in order to distinguish the
swollen fortunes from the natur-
al ones we must adopt some rule
or standard. How may man
honestly accumulate a fortunef
By giving to society service
commensurate with the reward
which he draws from society.
This rule, that each should
draw from society in proportion
as he contributes to the welfare
of society, is in harmony with
the divine law of rewards, inso-
far as that law can be gathered
from'nature. When God gave us
the Earth withits fertile soil, the
sunshine with it's warmth, and
the showers with their moisture,

stage at the Opera house last
Thursday night. The play, al
though presented here before,
was rendered better than at any
time, especially did Mr.. Merrell,
as Joe Morgan, render his part
better than any seen before in
the same part.

alities can not be out.classed.
In fact all performers did so well
that all we can say is, that every
body should go to see them play
and be convinced Of a good per

small but very appreciative.

a larger audience, (Which the
company certainly deserved
would surely have been present.

DUTY BINDS TWO NATIONS.
Won Sternburg's Theory of German
American Friendship.

TAMPA, Fla, February 2i.-The Ger
man ambassador. Baron Speck Won Stern
burg, began the address he delivered yes
terday. after laying the corner stone of
the new home of the German Club. by say
ing that the historic friendship, first be-
tween Prussia and the United States. and
after that between the German empire
and the United States. had never been
severed.
This friendship was founded. he said in
the strong devotion to duty common to
the peoples of the two nations. Just as
i'm America the sense of duty had from
the first, cxerted a formative influenc .
on the commonwealth. so i'm Prussia and
the German empire the same sense of
duty had always found response in ma
tional development. So i. might he said
that true GerInanism covered true Ameri-
cansm. So also II might be said that
the achievements of civilization were
not dependent on the men OF the highest
talents but. in the main. on the men who
citizenship, always keeping their homes
sacred.
In conclusion the ambassador said: My

the German woman in their hearts re-

DENVER, February 24.-Father Leo
Heinrichs. pastor Of st. Elizabeth s
Catholic Church, was shot dead at the
altar at 6 o'clock yesterday morning as
he was administering the sacrament to
Alio Giuseppe. Father Leo placed the
sacrament on the mans tongue and he
pretended to swallow 1t, but a moment
later spat' 1t out with an expression of
disgust, drew a revolver and shot the
priest. who spoke only once before dying.
The ASSASSIN then fed. but was caught
as he reached the church door by a street
car conductor and a policeman. He tried
to shoot both of them, but failed. and was
dubbed into submission.
Giuseppe was among the earliest to ar
rive at church. and hurried to the altar
soon after entering. He has made a state

LEoPoLD's LITTLE GRAB GAME.
Belgian King Wants 1000, 900
Placed at His DISPOSAL.

BRUSSELS. February 24.-The situation
in the matter of the annexation to BEL
GUM Of the Congo Free State again is
assuming disquieting aspect. 1t is stated
that King Leopold has taken back all his
fair promises, and now demands that the
special fund which was to replace the
crown domain be placed under his con-
troll, and not under that Of pa Ria ment, as
it was originally agreed. In addition. he
asks that $J00OO,OO0 be placed at his dis
position to carry out various projects.
1t is understood that the government is
firmly resisting these demands. and is de-
tern:ined. II il becomes necessary. to re-
sign. which. as King Leopold could not
under such circumstances find any one to
form a new ministry. it is pointed out,
would mean elections that would be
bound TO result in the return of majority
most hostile to the king.

Statement by a Passenger.

Mr.. Musgrave said he thought it was
marvellous that some of the passengers or
workmen did not lose their lives.
II had been travelling in the south. and
was on my way home at the time. I
stopped at Washington on my way and
took the train there for Baltimore. By a
strange coincidence an engineer of the
Pennsylvania railroad. who was dead
heading back TO Baltimore was on the
train and occupied a seat with me. He
had been delayed by the freight wreck
that proved our undoing. and just before
we got to the place he started to describe
to me the appearance of the scene, but
suddenly he recognized where we were
and said, Here is the wreck No sooner
had the words left his mouth than there
was a terrible crash toward the front of
the train. Like match sticks the sides of
the car were carried away. and as one
after another the cars were ground to
pieces with a terrible swiftness the men
sat as para1yZed, and We were unable to
move until the Wreckage was upon us.
when the roof Of the car fell on top
of We were buried under tina debris,
and all was darkness My head had been
cut and was bleeding badly, as also We're
my hands, but, worst of all. my legs were
crushed in between two seats. With some
effort / succeeded in getting them loose,
ana tnen l started 10 WORK my way from
underneath the pile of timbers that COW
cred me. When about half way out some
negro members of the wrecking crew saw
me and carried me to a place of safety.
We were put on a train and taken back
to Bowie. which was about two and a
half miles in the rear, and later we were
sent to Baltimore
The freight week early Saturday night
was caused by an engine leaving the
track. ten cars being piled in a. heap
Traffic on the road was delayed only a
short time.
