the matter poured in upon it by the
press associations, its special CORE
spondents and the public generally. The
great bulk of this news matter is
bought and paid for, though never des-
tined to see daylight, not because it
is not news, but because matters which
the trained senses of the editor pro-
nounce more important news crowd it
out.
"Those same trained editorial senses
are constantly on the alert for the i'm
portant item. Just mention in the
midst of three columns of really i'm
portant church reports the mere incl
dental fact that the Rev. John Doe has
resigned and that the resignation was
accepted, and be prepared to turn out
of bed at night and explain to half
dozen reporters all about the affair. The
next morning the line of resignation
may appear as three columns, while the
three columns of church news will oc-
cupy scarcely more than that many
lines. The editor knows that only
three lines in your article contained the
real news of the day and would help
the sale of his paper.
Now, it can not be argued that we
should encourage sensational doings
with the views of calling public atten>
ton to the church and its work. Even
to salacious morsel the editor himself
would prefer piece of news of an en-
tirely different character, but he has
his finger on the public pulse and he
knows what is required. To me it is
a certain indication when a newspaper
shows Discrimination to give space to an
article that it will not be read if pub
lished
stWe can assume different attitude
to the newspapers We can take a
generous view of existing conditions,
accept the newspapers as having right
to all our news and show them that
we are in sympathy with them.
IF we are to make good use of the
secular press we can not overestimate
the Importance of the makeup of our
articles and news notes. [ believe that
there is much of our work that could
be presented in such dress that it would
be attractive to the editor and, con.
sequently, to the people. I fully be
lieve that the establishment of news
clearing house in the Eighth depart
ment under the management of our de-
partmental secretary, to whom mission
airy experiences, news notes and brief
church teaching could be sent for gen
eral publication in the secular press
would be an experiment well worth try.
ing
Tt must be remembered that the
secular press is democratic forum. The
clergyman or layman who comes into
this agora and mingles with the Attic
demos must grid himself. The demos
in its collective capacity is a jugger-
maui. It reminds me of what the color
ed porter in the baber shop said the
other day, attributing his words to the
good book. The Lord, he quoted,
ain II got no respect for nobody. y

FOUND HIS HOME PEAS.

HART, Mich, April 20.-Few per-
sons take more pride in western Mich
igan and the extent of it's products
than does ex-senator James K. Flood
of Hart. Yet he was a good bit as
tonished on his recent visit to Ha-
vail He took trip to visit the old
volcano of Kilauea and its smaller
crater, Halemaumau.
After gazing on a sea of red lava
spreading and returning to a molten
cauldron, smoke and steam rising with
sulphurous fumes, and a glare of fire
shooting skyward, he took supper at
the Volcano House, 1000 feet above
sea level. And one of the chief dishes
that there met his eye, was some
Little Dot Hart Brand peas from his
home town, and made hot over the
never-ending fires of Halemaumau.

ALcH-sKELLY WEDDING.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.-To the
tfiumphs which it has been scoring in
such rapid succession during the recent
months wireless telegraphy added a
new conquest yesterday. By its means
courtship was carried to successful
issue, and in the marriage in this city
of two persons of more than ordinary
prominence the superiority of lovemak
ing via wireless over the slower and
more conventional medium of the mails
was clearly established.
The principals in this latest drama
of love and adventure are John A.
Balch, manager of the Wireless Tele-
graph Company at Honolulu, and Miss
Helen Shelly of Butte, Mont Both
have a history and are a part of his
tory.
Batch is a son of Dan w. Balch,
who was connected with the famous
Consolidated Virginia mine and was
one of the first assayers of note of
this city. Miss Sicily has been noted
as being not only prominent in society
in Butte, but also as being one of the
| most accomplished pianists in Montana
Her ability caused her to be in demand
at social functions and amateur theatri-
Gals and her popularity was great.
Miss Shelly, also was once engaged
| to former United States Senator Lee
Mantle, and in that comes the interest
in the triumph of courtship by wireless.
| For long period of years the wooing
| of Miss Shelly by the ex-senator went
| on and although no formal announce
ment of their engagement is known to
have been made, that they were to be
married was common gossip among all
who knew them.
When Miss Skelly returned to this
country from Honolulu, Balch kept III
a running courtship by wireless mes
sages to her, and these, as results prov
| ed, were more convincing than the let
| tiers that came from the former Mon
| tana Senator Miss Shelly then made
a second visit to Honolulu, and theT
! the engagement with Balch was made
and the one with Mantle broken off.
On Tuesday the steamship Alameda
arrived from Honolulu, and on board
was John A. Balch. Miss Sicily was
here to meet him. and yesterday they
| were married in old St Mary S church
/ Father Wyman performing the .cere
mony. W. B. Rountree acted as best
man aud Miss Grace Barton of Alameda
was bridesmaid. The couple will take
short honeymoon and will then leave
for Honolulu.

THE BISHOP OF OREGON ON
TREATMENT OF NEWSPAPERS

SPOKANE, Wash, May TO-" News
paper men should be treated as allies
instead of as spies and impertinent
meddlers in things which do not con.
Germ them. We can take them into
comradeship in the work we are doing
and, by treating them as friends in
stead of enemies, secure their conf
dence, good will and cooperation.
Rev. Dr. Charles Scadding, Bishop of
Oregon, said this in the course of an
address on "The Secular Press as
Missionary Agency" at the biennial
sessions of the Eighth Missionary de-
partment of the Episcopal church in
Spokane, when high churchmen from
Washington, Montana, Oregon, Idaho,
Wyoming, California, Utah, Nevada,
New York, Pennsylvania and several
other states were in attendance.
Bishop Scadding intimated that the
average minister does not know news,
when he mentioned that frequently an
item of vital Importance is concealed
the least interest to the reader. On
this point he said:
eff you could hear the righteous in
dignation and the unrighteous abuse,
and, I fear, profanity, created in news
paper offices of Friday nights when all
hands are called to fix up the church
notices for publication, there would be
| instant reform in this direction. / am
| told that week after week and year
after year there are poured into the
newspaper offices these carelessly writ
| ten notices, often in almost undecipher-
| able chirography, with no regard for
the style of the paper for which they
are written, frequently written on odds
and ends of paper and often on both
sides and thrown together in haphaz-
ard sort of way.
| ''The task of preparing several hun
bred notices has become the most de.
tested work in the newspaper offices,
and every Friday night our civilizing
influence on the working staff is in a
| large measure undone... It is only due
to the newspapers that we be courteous,
even in this small matter, and take
pains to secure uniformity and clean
illness and then present we'll dressed and
carefully prepared copy
In preparing matter for the press
You should observe newspaper rules of
composition: Tell your story in the
first three lines three words are bet
tere-and elaborate afterward. Then
the reader cannot ring off before you
have told him the gist of what you
have to say
Bishop Scadding said the value OF
the newspapers as a missionary agency
| depends. upon the willingness of the
ministers to go and make some effort
/ in sssting it; and, he added, g in
considering the subject it is necessary
for us at the outset to appreciate not
| the theoretical function Of the secular
press, but what it actually is, and what
it actually does for the people. It is
not the molder of public opinion, of
ten it is not even the leader; but it
does supply the facts, the fancies, the
fallacies, if you please, on which public
opinion is based.
1t must be borne in, mind that the
newspaper, even though it has twenty
four pages, has not single line to
waste. 1t pays thousands Of dollars
for matter it does not print, and it is
safe to say that no newspaper uses half

ought to put on fat as fast as
they use it up; for fat is fuel,

they, there is always what is call

Maine Society G. A. R.

Charles Folsom Jones Esq has been
re- elected to the Vice Presidency for
this County of the Maine Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution.
He would be glad to confer with any
one DESTROYS of joining the Society.
Its objects are to keep alive the spirit
OF patriotism, to revive the memories
of the heroes of 1775-17S3 and to fos-
ter among US a fervent devotion to
the institutions of our common coun-
try, encouraging historical research
and providing for the preservation
of documents, relics, and individual
records of the men who gave us the
freedom we enjoy. To strive to pro-
mote the celebration of patriotic an
niversaries, and by other means i'm
press upon this and future generations
the spirit which actuated our ancestors
when they established our Republic.
The result is better men and better
citizenship. The Maine Society has
succeeded in its work far beyond the
fondest hopes of its founders. 1t has
done more i'll our State, to stimulate
i'll noble ancestry and in the diffus
ion of the knowledge of the Reyolu-
tionary War, than has ever been done
before since the establishment of our
government. No better example for
a young man can there be than that
of noble, unselfish ancestor. 1t
awakens pride as nothing else will
do, and the influence is for good. Our
Society is for the young man as well
as the older.

Death of Mrs. Tenney.

Mrs. Mary j. Tenney, widow Of the
late John L. Tenney, died at the
home of her stepdaughter, Mrs.
James w. Holt, on Alder street, on
Saturday last.
The deceased was born in st. Al
bans, November 8, 1881, the daughter
of David and Betsey Mcclure Rowe,
her parents being among the earlier
settlers of the town, coming from
Brentwood, N. H., early in the last
century. Until her marriage to Mr..
Tenney above mentioned, in 1887,
her life was passed in her native
town and in Newport, where she is
yet pleasantly remembered by many
friends. Within a few years after
the death of her husband, i'll 1894,
she became member of the house,
hold of his daughter, Mrs. Holt,
where she was tenderlv cared for
during her declining years. A niece
Mrs. B. Weeks of Hyde Park, Mass,
was here during her last days and
assisted in her care. Other nieces
and nephews survive but none of
nearer relationship.
Mrs. Tenney united with the Island
Ave-, Congregational Church twelve
years ago and was a constant attend
ant at its services until failing health
prevented. Funeral services were
observed Monday afternoon last,
Rev. B. B. Merrill officiating.

The Greatest Success
Known in Treating
Rheumatism.
Uric-O Expells the Poisonous
Uric and Rheumatic Acid
from the System, Insuring
Permanent Cure.

The Rheumatic person is skeptical regard
ing the claims Of almost any remedy adver.
tised as a cure for Rheumatism and one can
scarcely blame him for being so. All the
plasters and lniments combined never actual
ly cured a case of rheumatism. They may
relieve it in one quarter but it is sure to
break out somewhere else. The only true
way to cure Rheumatism is to drive 1t from
the system, for as long as the Uric and
Rheumatic Acid remains in the blood, one is
never free from the trouble. Uric-O seeks
out the Rheumatic poison in the blood,
muscles and kidneys, renders it inert and
harmless and drives it out of the system. 1t
is composed of perfect antidotes for the
rheumatic acid poison in the system, and the
secret of its wonderful success lies in the fact
that it is designed to cure Rheumatism only.
Uric-O is sold and recommended by f. w.
Buchanan and by druggists everywhere at 75c
and SI.oo a bottle. They will furnish
samples and literature upon request or same
can be obtained by writing to the Smith

trouble. l was in a bavV weakened
and run down condition. After eat
ing l would bloat, and be in pain and
distress for several hours. An all
gone feeling would come over me,
and l had no energy nor ambition
whatever. This condition continued
for a long time, although took treat
ment from several good physicians,
and tried number of patent reme-
dies, without relief.
stOn reading of Mr. Cooper's theory
L became convinced that he was
right, and procured several bottles OF
his New Discovery preparation. In
order to test his claims. 1t afforded
prompt relief, and when had taken
three bottles, my trouble had disap-
peared and | was feeling like differ

Keith's Boston Theatre.

The week Of April 9th at Keith's
Theatre will see one of the biggest
vaudeville bills in the history of the
house. At the head of it will be Kar
nos English comedy company in "a
Night in an English Music Hall"
probably the greatest laughing sho W
that has ever appeared in this coun-
try. This is the production in which
a stage is shown on a stage, with the
boxes filled with people and the Eng
lish singers and performers of differ
ent kinds do their turns, while those
in tho boxes take most prominent
part. The inebriated swell, who ex
presses his approval and disapproval
of the different performers, is one of
the greatest bits of comedy introduce
ed in years. The company is a large
one. including the originals who APP
peared in the London production. 1t
will be seen at this house for the first
time.
No man wants to go to heaven by the

The strength of a child.

1t is surprising to find how few parents
know the great strength giving qualities
of good oatmeal. Most of them think
of it as food for the sturdy Scotch or
the brawny Englishman, and overlook
its value as food for children. Every
now and then mother will take to feed
ing her children on Quaker Oats and
will be astonished at their improvement
in strength and vigor. OF course, she
tells her friends, and they prove it for
themselves, but every mother in the
country should see that her children are
strong and vigorous. Plenty of Quaker
Oats, eaten often. will do it.
Grocers sell Quaker Oats in regular
size packages at l0c, the family size
packages at 25c, and the family size
package containing a piece of fine china
for 30c.
Don't miss day: eat Quaker Oats
every morning for breakfast.
