Miss NJ. II. Morse

The death of Miss Mary Belle
Morse occurred Tuesday at the home
of l. j. Smith, 269 Madison Ave. Her
age was % years and although she
was native of Somerset County she
had passed much of her life in Mas
sachusetts, having graduated from
nine years she had been a teacher in
the Springfield schools in that state.
To show the efficiency of Miss Morse
work in the school room, it is to be
noted that she advanced from the
lower grade work to the highest posi-
ton given to any instructor in the
city The deceased was the daugh-
ter of the late Sylvanus Morse, who
was formerly a merchant in Skowhe-
gan. afterwards becoming similarly
engaged in other nearby towns.
Miss Morse came to Skowhegan last
October, her health at that time be-
ing somewhat impaired. For a lit
tie she seemed to gain and her con-
dition did not appear to be serious
until five days previous to her passing
out. She had made her home with
Mr.. and Mrs Smith for several years
during vacation periods and the strong
friendship they bore toward her oc-
casioned her coming to them during
her illness. Her fortitude and bravery
in bearing the ravages of disease was
wonderful. but she was constantly
cheered by countless letters from abb
sent friends and the tender thought
fulness of those in whose home she
dwelt
The funeral will be held at 10 a. m,
Friday from the Smith residence and
Rev. II. G.. McGlauflin of the Centen-
airy NJ. f. Church will officiate The
body will be placed in the South Side

LAST MUSICAL EVENING
In the Course Which Has Been Pre-.
scented In the Congregational
Church

Words of commentator cannot be
found to express the pleasure Rev.
T. H. Wilson and others interested
have afforded the people of Skowhe-
gan by the splendid musical course
which they have been instrumental
in having presented during the win
ter. The admission prices have been
so reasonable that all could afford to
attend, and the concerts have been
each and every one rare musical
treat.
The final entertainment in the
course was given Tuesday evening to
a very large audience The enter
tainers were Harris Stackpole Shaw,
organist; Mrs. Elise Fellows White,
violinist and Mrs. Marion Drake
Flanders, vocalist
MIR. Shaw is organist, and director
at the Second Universalist Church,
cores she played THE Bluebirda of
given with members of the Boston
Symphony orchestra He has also
recently been appointed in full charge
of the music department at Harvard
His work here both in solo numbers
and as an accompanist was remark
able and won for him loud applause
Mrs. White as violinist rendered some
of her most difficult selections with
marked skill and beauty, while in
response to one of her numerous en-
corse she played THE Bluebird' of
her own composition. Mrs. Flanders
in superb voice rendered THE Holy
City" by request and other sacred
numbers such way as to make peo-
pie realize the reality of spiritual life.
She also sang among other selections
The Day is Ended by j. Carroll Bart
lett and Sunrise with the Master
the words of which were composed by
Mrs Elizabeth p. Merrill and the
music by H. A. Dinsmore, both of
Skowhegan. Miss Faith f. Harris
Junior in high school was the accom-
PIANIST Her work was perfect and
throughout the series she has proved
her skill by always putting life and
spirit into her Accomplishments. In
the last two concerts especially Miss
Harris has manifested her real genius
at the piano.
Cards were distributed as the au-
dience entered, and those who desired
were given an opportunity to sub
scribe for tickets to a course of eight
musicals to begin next October and
continue until May, 1915. Fifty-six
expressed their desire to pay $3.50
for these course tickets and SO in
dictated their willingness to take them
at S1.00, the aggregate thus pledged
being $1,000. While the full com
mittee will determine the action to
be taken, it is thought that the course
will be ensured by this guarantee The
price of admission next year will be
kept at 10 cents. Anyone wishing to
aid in the guarantee fund may sub
scribe for course tickets through Rev
Theodore Wilson.

POPULARITY or PRESIDENT.

President Wilson comes in for a
considerable amount of criticism at
theh ands OF certain high and mighty
politicians Of other parties but he has
the Subtraction of knowing that his
administration IN meeting with the
approval Of the people. A striking In
dication OF this fact is potated out by
the Kansas City STAR the recognized
Inouthpiece Of the Moose party In the
middle west Speaking Of the Demo
cratic convention in Missouri, the star
edItorially says:
Did you notice the accounts OF the
erthusissm wsth which President VIII
sons name was received by the Demo-
cratic convention Tuesday? Every
mention Of 1t kas the signal for an
outburst Of applause. This came not
chiefly from the politicians, 1t was
noticeabiy strongest with the farmer
candidates for the legislature.
Experienced observers at the con-
yention came away with the informa
tIon that the president Is immensely
popular in the farming districts. The
Democratic farmers believe in him and
are prouduof the success Of his admin
istration. There Is nothing perfume
tory about their attitude. No other
Democrat compares in popularity with
Mr. Wilson.
Judging by Tuesdays convention
the president has nothing to worry
about in Missouri He can depend on
the strongest sort OF support from his
party in this state--and ho can depend
on this support being with him in any
conflict he may have with Democratic
officials in Washington who are trying
to embarrass his administration"

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

History has partly repeated itself In
odd fashion during the last few days
as regards both Belgium and Belgrade
When France and Germany went to
war in 1870 Belgium was then, as
later, neutral" More thsa fiairiy
years earlier all the powers had sol.
emnly pledged themselves to ''recog-
nize the independence Of Belgium as a
neutral state" And when Holland
(from which Belgium had recently
been detached) refused to sign this
treaty combined French and English
fleet and French army were ruaheu
to the Netherlands to make the Dutch
see reason. The Dutch saw it, and
signed.
At the outbreak of the Franco-Prus-
sian war Belgium realized in what a
ticklish position she stood; as bluff.

armies SO she promptly put her lit

1t 10 the frontier, and adopted every
other possible measure for defense.
