reagh" is frankly al piece Of hero
worship; it is even more frankly an
effort to arefute and reverse the al
most unanimous verdict of history. On
the very cover of the book W., have
this note significant of all that lies
within-"1lhe life of Castlereagh en-
braces one of The most stirring and
mOmentous periods in the history of
Great Britain. 1t includes tn. union
of England and Ireland, the cstah.
lishment of the British dominion in
India, the overthrow of Napoleon.
With these events, to mention but one
or two, Castlercagh was closely con.
rected. 1t is only aft, the lapse OF
| well-nigh a century that the value Of
Castlereagh's labors is beginning to
be appreciated" Whether Mr.. Arthur
Hassall's work will cause them to be
more highly appreciated than they
have hitherto been time alone can tell.
If not the fault will not lie at the door
Of his latest biographer's zeal and
earnestness. There can be no doubt
that he believes IN. CRstlereagh. If the
hero had fault it is surely BECAUSE
he was human being. If he was
ever in error il is onlylNbecausc under
the circumstances iM was impossible
to be in the right. tff: faults or no
faults, errors nr no errors, Castle
rtagh was the savi,r CT Europe the
one consistent determined and really
capable and successful statesman Of
his time. And. as the note which We
have quoted says, "ir is only aftc; the
lapse of we1-nigh Il century" that
this is beginning to dawn upon the ia :.
telligence Of men. Anyone who hal
never read anything Of Castlereagh
before reading this volume would fin-
ish it with the conviction that the he
TO was the handspring of all the great
political action of. bis time, that he
had the misfortune Of being the one
genius in the midst Of crowd Of in
competents or moderates, and what
between envy. jealousy, and misun-
derstanding, had been cheated out Of
his due fame. There is one paragraph
or the measures adopted to effect the
Union which may be quoted as fair
instance Of the methods Of Mr.. Has
sail, when he is least inclined to pal
late his ideal statesman. THE means
by which the minority in the Irish
Parliament in favor o. the Union was
converted into a majority are we'll
known. While the soul of CORVALLIS
revolted against the corruption by
which alone success could be attained.
:Castlereash pursued his course with
quiet, businesslike composure.' fI's
task was, In his own words, ito buy
out and secure to The Crown forever,
the fee-simple Of Irish corruption
which had so long enfeebled the pow
ers Of government ana endangered the
connection" To men, IF that day there
was nothing especially repellant in the
means taken to carry the Union. Mr..

SECOND CHURCH ACCEPTS
 DR. VESTS RESIGNATION
Does So with Regret-Pastor Will Re- main Until Middle of December Several Committees Named.

There was a special meeting of the Second Congregational church Wed nesday evening at o'clock at which Deacon E. A. Prentice presided. As he called the meeting to order he ex- plained that in conference on We'd nesday Dr. West had said in answer to urgent requests that he continue here until the first of the year, that he would remain until December 13, but is anxious to leave here on that day for the west. He desired to stay beyond the date first set for the ben eft of those who have been convert ed during the revival services, that he may give them all the help he can before he leaves. Dr. West, referring to what might seem a nasty leave taking, spoke of the fact that this was an old, established church, while the one to which he is going is but twelve years old has been without pastor since February, so that the work needs attention there at once.
 Upon motion of J. D. Haviland the resignation of Dr. l.. l.. West as pas tor of the church was accepted with regret. the feeling being that it was done at his earnest request but prac- tically against the wishes of the con- gregation. A committee to draw up expressions of the church's loss and appreciation of his work in the church was appointed, consisting of Joseph ID. Haviland, Mrs. J. M Huntington and Miss Nancy Lucas. They will report at a later meeting.
 For the purpose of arranging for A council of dismissal, a committee consisting of Nathan A. Gibbs. Mrs. H. F. Palmer and Mrs. J. D. Haviland were named. A committee on supplies and candidates for the pastorate was appointed. consisting of Henry D.
 Johnson, Mrs. J. H. Larrabee and Dwight l.. Allen. The meeting ad- journed to meet next Thursday eve ming.
 Everett, Wash, where Dr. West is going. had a population of 25,000 in l 1900, but has grown materially during the past nine years. The church. mem bership is about 2S0 and the church to | which he goes is the only Congrega- 1 tional church there.

NOW SOLD IN AMERICA
In Less Than Three Years, Parisian Sage, the Splendid Hair Tonic,
 Is Sold All Over America.

There is a reason for the phenom- enaI sale of Parisian Sage In the United States during the past three years.
 And the reason is plain to all; Parisian Sage does just what 1t is ad- vertised to do. .. i. Ask the Lee & Osgood Go. about 1t they win tell you that they rigidly guarantee it to cure dandrun. stop falling hair or itching scalp in two weeks or money back.
 There is no reason whatever why any man or woman should fail to take advantage of the above generous offer
 But one thing that has made Paris ian Sage so famous is it's peculiar power to turn the harsh, unattractivt hair that many women possess into luxuriant and radiant hair in shori time. Women of refinement the coun- try over are using it and it never dis appoints. Read this letter:

He wants to have the road right and, so far as possible.-the way the people want it. He has been sick for ten days, but is much better. Sec retary Kelsey of his office was with him.

 Hill with four double teams and four teen men and started on their con- tract on the Waterford road.

The Father Mathew T. A. society has started it's whist tournament and several games have been played. There are nine teams in the race at present. and three more are expect ed. Each team will play a game with every other, each game to be of 50 points.

 When they finish the tournament, the players think that they will be in shape to meet any other aggregation of whist experts in the city.
 The teams thus far entered are Jo- seph O'Sullivan and F. McMahon, D. Guertin and J. Mar'ho. Joseph Belle fleur and F. Harrington. T. Sheehan and T. Delaney, P. Downing and T. Farrell, c. J. Downes and J. Bradley l.. Ethier and D. Gladue, Matthew Sul- livan and J. Mullen.

Maennerchor Wins Pinochle Tourna- ment with Schuetzen Verein-Lsrge Attendance at Funeral of Mrs. Hem ry Depathy.

The Maennerchor won the deciding match in the pinochle tournament with the Schuetzen Verein Tuesday evening in the latter clubs hall in Lisbon. There was a large attendance to see the experts play, but the home team lost by 120 points to the Maen- nerchor, thus taking three out of the four matches played and winning the trophy, a handsome stein and a set of cups, for the present year. To permanently retain the trophy. the Maennerchor must win at pinochle for two more years, and so although de- feated at the beginning, the members of the Schuetzen Verein have not yet given up the hope of adding this cov- eted prize to their collection. The tournament just closed probably sets a record for closeness in local contests for in total points scored the Maenner- chor is but 70 in the lead. The Maen- nerchor players won the first two matches and the third was won by the Schuetzen Verein. The outcome of the tournament has been watched with great interest by the supporters of the two rival but friendly teams.

This statement caused some sur prise. He said that the Sunday school is no longer regarded as an institution simply for children, but is one of the i strongest, features of church life and kthat majority of the Sabbath schools are now carrying on their courses of instruction as systematically as the public schools carry on theirs.
