dedication of the new Congregational Church at Waterville took place yesterday.The church has been under construction tor the past six months, the contractor being Mr.F.G.Gale, and the builder Mr.J.Torent.The building is of Gothic design and for the purpose for which it was constructed is one of the best if not the best church edifice outside of the cities in the province.The building contains an auditorium, Sunday school and prayer meeting room in the rear, and minister’s study, all of which are on the first floor, with a basement the entire length of the building, nine and one-half feet high, well finished with steel ceiling and polished hardwood pillars for supports.The basement also contains a kitchen and furnace room.The trustees had in mind not only tin* spiritual side of the church but the social side as well, and this lecture room has already been used on several occasions, seating about 250, and at present lias been turned over to the new Y.M.C.A.which w\as formed in Waterville six weeks ago, and which is already filling a long felt-want, almost all of the young men having joined the association and taken advantage of the reading and game room.The ladies have put a piano in this lecture room which is very much appreciated by the boys.Many visitors, not only from Waterville, but from tiie surrounding towns, at the dedication services, took advantage of the day to look over this room and all pronounced it convenient and complete in every detail.flhe Y.M.C.A.is under the charge of Mr, Perry Dobson.The auditorium proper will easily seat about 300, and at the three services yesterday was taxed to its utmost capacity.The day being fine, many from the surrounding district and preachers came in to assist at the dedication services.All the windows in the auditorium are memorial windows of richly stained glass and give a very fine appearance to the church, the one in the front representing the Good Shepherd, and the other is a memorial window to the Fate Rev.Mr.Pu rkis, who was for a long time pastor of the church.T^ese windows, as well as the interior decorations, were done by Messrs.Castle & Son, Montreal.The pews in this church are of quartered oak, finely carved, and are placed in a semi-circle, the floor having a slope of 10 inches.The services opened with a prayer meeting in the lecture room and was led by the pastor,Rev.G.Craik, which was well attended.The opening service in the church was at 10.30, and every one was impressed with the beauty of the room as they entered.The morning service was taken by the Rev Hugh Pedley,Immanuel Church, Montreal, who chose for his theme “What For ” He alluded to the early Christian church, and to the different orders of workers in it, some prophets, others teachers and pastors, and brought out in a masterly manner the need of each department in successful church work.He said that they had a beautiful church, complete in every particular, and askra 4 * What is ft for?” He then went on to refer to w hat the church should be for, and hoped the new church in Waterville would be used lor what Christ established his church, for the elevation of mankind.The afternoon service was called the Sunday School Dedication Sei-vice, and took place at three o’clock and was entirely in the hands of the Sunday School.The present membership is about 100, and about 80 members of the school were present and took partin the exercises.Most of the singing was done by the children, and while the birds were singing in the trees outside, the sweet voices of the children vied with them in the different songs which they sung.The afternoon services were in the hands of Mr.Ball, the superintendent ot the school.Rev.Mr.Forsyth, of Buck-port, Me., the son of the first pastor of the church, Mr.Wm Price, St.Andrew’s Church, Sherbrooke, and the Rev.Mr Pedley, all gave brief addresses, empliazing the fact that the church was not only built for the benefit of the older ones but belonged to the children as well.The evening services at seven o’clock were a continuation of the dedication services, and the preacher wTas the Rev.Win.Forsyth, who took for his subject the w’ords, “But they looked for a Be; -fer Country, that is Heavenly.” He spoke of the efforts which men put forth to better their condition by moving to the most distant parts of tne earth, some going at great expense and self-denial, to California, Australia, or the Klon-dyke, looking for a better country, an earthly country’.He urged his AND THE NEXT DAT IT RAINED And The Next and The

lengths to which members of the profession sometimes go In taking advantage of technicalities.“A rank outsider,” announced the member of the profession who had been a good listener, “a client of mine, supplied the best Instance of literal interpretation that ever came to my knowledge.He was executor under a wHl that, among other provisions, required the payment of an annuity to a venerable aunt of the testator.But proof of her being alive must bo made before each payment, and this Is the rock on which the executor struck.“The old lady proved herself In the flesh, drew her money and went to California, where she spent two years without putting In her claim.On her return she went In person and demanded the double allowance due her.“The conscientious executor got out the will, studied it, scratched his head and finally handed down hta opinion: “ ‘Madam, you are alive now.There can be no reasonable question as to that, for I have the conclusive evidence of my own eyes.But I am possessed of no legal proof that you were alive a year ago.I am, as you know, within the restrictions of the will.I will pay the annuity for this year, but must insist upon satisfactory affidavits that you were not dead when the preceding annuity was passed/ “It took me the better part of a day to convince him that he should settle in full.” FOUGHT FOR HIS LIFE.*’ My father and sister Loth died of consumption,” writes Mr.J.T.Weather wax, of Wyandotte, Midi., “and I was saved from the same frightful fate only by Dr.King s New Discovery.An attack of pneumonia left an obstinate cough and very severe lung trouble, which an excellent doctor could not help, but a tew months’ use of this wonderful medicine made me as well as ever and I gained much in weight.” Infallible for coughs, colds and all throat and lung di o Tb« Story of *o Boy.000 oOOo oOOo oOOo oOOo oOOo oi Th« writer owes to Dick Huyl & debt not exactly of graHtude, as the story will demonstrate, which she, by writing his biography, seeks to discharge.Dick Huyl’a history will never be written by me nor by any one else who knew him to adorn a Sunday school library.He was not that kind of boy.Dick was an Apache Indian, with all the characteristics of total depravity that the word Apache conveys or suggests.We were children together, Dick and I.We lived, fought and played together for two years In the same army post On one memorable occasion Dick, Instigated by the devil—for 1 firmly believe in the devil, If only for Apaches—dropped down the neck of my frock coat a live toad.It was the cause of my first fit of hysterics, and 1 determined If I ever grew old nough I would tell the whole world how bad a voung Apache could be.In 1872, If I remember rightly, General Crook had succeeded, after years of bioody war and the loss of hundreds of good men, in subduing most of the bands composing the Apache nation of New Mexico and Arizona.They had dwelt In the strongholds of mountain and desert, from which they frequently emerged to rob and murder all minors or emigrants that they could ambush, leaving nothing for the human mind to conceive of in the way of cruelty whenever a white man fell Into their power.At the reservation, although they were well fed and quite decently treated, it was necessary to watch them constantly, and large bodies of troops were detailed for that purpose.Nevertheless, scarcely a week passed but a small squad of Apaches, usually led by some attractive squaw, would slip quietly past the guards and escape through the darkness Into their beloved cactus plains and mountain barrens.Roll call nearly every morning developed these absentees, and next day would come news of murder, rapine and horrors generally.A favorite Apache mode of disposing of the unsuspecting freighter, miner or emigrant whose camp they had succeeded In raiding was to tie the victim by the four limbs to stakes and then to build a tire on that portion of his body designated In tho old fashioned almanacs as “vlrgo.” There seemed to be something particularly fascinating to the Apache temperament in this form of torture, Death being long in coming, It gave the squaws and papooses plenty of chance to invent small torments on the side, as it were.The women and children emigrants— But enough.Suffice it to say that the absolute hatred entertained by these Indians for the whites was fully reciprocated, especially by the soldiers.It was no easy matter to track and successfully fol low the runaways through the cactus and mesqulte thickets, over the barren deserts and desolate mountains that make up the topography of Arizona.But in that parched country water is only to be found at certain springs aud water holes, between which days of ea^es.Trial bottles free.Gtiaran-1

Anything for your life! Promise! Swear! Here on my knees I beg you, Henri!” Her voice was broken with wild sobbing; her eyes were brimming with tears.The young man’s head drooped, then raised desperately, while his eyes Cashed on the treacherous spy.So be It, villain Giuseppe! I give my sacred promise as you ask.” The mysterious aud convicting letter was instantly torn Into fragments.Giuseppe had not boasted vainly.Two days later Henri Edouin was liberated end mounted in the national guard.For a long time he found no opportunity of seeing Hortense.When at last the lovers did meet, it was to realize tho greatest sorrow of their two fond hearts.As the price of saving Renri’s life Hortense had solem»ly agreed to wed with Giuseppe.Ever memorable will be the 28th of May, 1871.when the following proclamation appeared: INHABITANTS OF PARIS.The army of France came to aave you.Paria la delivered.Our soldiers carried, at 4 o’clock, the 1.-i positions occupied by the Insurgents.Today the struggle is finished.Order, labor and security will now survive.l)c MacMahok, Dec ds MiQiurrA, Marshal of France, Commander In Chief.Crowds and columns of prisoners were being marched to Versailles.The prisoners’ camp at Satory was an anomalous picture, even shudderful to contemplate.A man with baleful eyes and snaky Ups approached one of the entrances to the stable pens.The prompt “Qui vive?” halted him.Pardon,” was the affable, grinning response, “but I am a quartermaster You have here, by a great mistake, a good cousin of mine who will answer to the name of Henri Edouin.Be so good as to summon him to me.I am not so great a fool as to ask his release Just now, but W’ould speak with him If l may.Villainous Giuseppe, ever treacherous and fearing that Henri might es cape 4o annoy him In the future and jealous to insanity that the man should live to whom Hortense w^as so avowedly attached, had sought the prison ers’ camp with murderous Intent.In his bosom he carried a pistol, and with the weapon he was resolved to slay the rival he hated.His speech at the gate was Interrupted by a savage cry.A bronzed gendarme who was stand Ing near threw aside his musket and, springing forward, gripped the pseudo quartermaster by the throat.This wretch lies!” he vociferated excitedly.“He is Giuseppe of the commune, Giuseppe the spy, who ordered 40 of my comrades shot.I alone escaped! I know him w'ell!” A fierce struggle ensued.There were a flash, a bang, and the gendarme dropped dead.But simultaneously a musket butt crashed down through the skull of Giuseppe.The baleful eyes were dim mod forever.It would be difficult to describe the tearful pleadings of beautiful Hortense before the gentlemen of the military bureau In Hue Satory.She knew and revealed the trick which had placed Henri In Giuseppe’s pow'er.She told the story of her heart’s sacrifice to save her lover’s life and his unwilling yielding to the proposition of his arch enemy.It was an appeal to touch the deepest sympathy of her hearers.Henri Edouin was forthwith set at liberty.He and his true Hortense were shortly afterward wedded, and when Paris had subsided to comparative quiet old Jean Guileau gave a merry feast to the handsome couple.—Saturday Night.SECOND END OF THE MONTH SALE!

Whence come you so suddenly?” “From close beside, girl.Ah, thou coquette! A word.I have heard all”— “A listener—you?Shame!” “Tell me, Is It true, indeed, I need hope no more to win you?” “You say you have heard all?” “Yes.I am not deaf.” “And you have seen too?” “Yes.I am not blind.” “Much good may it do you, then, for you are answered!” And with the sharp speech she slammed the door in his face, angry at his having spied upon what was to her a sacred Interview.For many nights after that her dreams were haunted by the baleful eyes of dark Giuseppe, and in her ears continually rang the fearful imprecation she heard him mutter, coupled with the name of Henri Edouln.The favored lover was greatly surprised a few days later at receipt of a communication from the Versailles government.It was delivered by an entire stranger, who whispered these six ominous words: “For your eyes only.Be discreet!” The sealed billet contained this: I.ast dispatch*» by balloon acknowledged.Inclosed herewith an order fer 600 francs, payable when France is redeemed from her enemies, pari».M.Edouih.Henri should have destroyed the mysterious scrawl instantly.Instead he stood gazing at it in sheer amazement.He had had nothing whatever to do with the Versaillese, though his heart was honestly with those who struggled so nobly to save the country from the doom of a bloody anarchy.The few moments’ stupefaction proved his greatest misfortune.There was a peremptory tap at the door.Giuseppe entered, grinning infernally.Behind him “dressed” three ruffians of the national guard.“Ah, M.Edouln!” he said.“Oh, Is it you, Giuseppe?” replied Henri.Giuseppe advanced with snaky quickness and ere Henry could anticipate snatched away the fatal paper.Flourishing it aloft, he cried: “Away with him! See what I hold— a paper that will have him shot unless I greatly mistake!” And Giuseppe hissed maliciously into Ids rival’s ear: “I am now a trusted spy of the commune.Your death Is certain.You will never wed with Ilortense Gulleau!” Unfortunate Henri was soon in prison.He fully realized his danger, and it required but little reflection to convince him of the foul trick played by crafty Giuseppe.The days of his confinement went tediously by, while ever before him loomed the horrid prospect of a violent death.Then Gulseppe confronted his victim and accompanying him—could it be reality?—was Ilortense.“I bring to you a gleam of sunlight, M.Edouln,” said the dark browed villain, with grinning sarcasm.Henri sprang forward to embrace Ids betrothed, but Giuseppe Interposed.“Hold! I did not bring here here for a love scene.Give ear to me.Minutes for Henri Edouln are valuable.Judgment is to be given In your case within the hour.You knowr what It will be—death! I come to offer you life.” “You?” “And, pray, why not?I hold the document that Is to riddle you with bullets.Say the word and 1 will destroy it.1 will retract my charge as a stupid blunder.” “What word shall I say?” “Henceforth will work and fight IT SAVED HIS LEG.P.A.Danforth of LaGrange.Ga., suffered for six months with a frightful running sore on his leg ; but writes that Bucklen’s Arnica Salve wholly cured it in five days.For ulcers, wounds, piles, it’s the best salve in the world.Cure guaranteed.Only 25c.Sold by all druggists.HEADACHE I’ Paia bac| of your l?^ eyes?Heavy pressure M ' =-‘ -re (j !

up.An hour after sunrise next morning we witnessed a spectacle that made the flesh creep a bit.Fully 4,000 Yaquls gathered In a compact body between us and the mouth of the pass and chanted a wild and savage song, and we w ere only 30 against them.They sent no flag of truce to demand a surrender.They may have even hoped we would show fight, as they had met wdth no resistance as yet.As we had hoped and planned for, the Yaquls advanced by the ravines.A body of about 500 was told off for each ravine, skirmishers were sent on ahead, and the main body looked on.Thirty men with Winchester rifles Inside of a stone fort are no mean foe, but we soon realized that In this case we were almost helpless.So swiftly and steadily did the Indians advance and so hot was their fire at the loopholes that we soon had five men killed and could not reply except at great risk.Their advance was within a stone’s throw of us in both ravines when we resorted to the electric wires.Few men w ill over witness the sight we did.There was a series of explosions which shook the earth for miles around, with bursts of flame and smoke leaping to the clouds, and after cue fearful yell there was silence in both ravines.It was half an hour before the smoke blew away so that wo could see the main band.The warriors stood there without movement, seeming to have been struck dumb, and it was another hour before they broke up into small parties and marched Into the mouth of the pass.We thought it a ruse, and no man left the power house until next afternoon.Then it was discovered that they had gone for good, and that without lookiug after their killed or wounded.Down In the two ravines, burled under the debris or lying scorched and torn and mangled among the rocks, were over 1*00 warriors, all wiped out atthe tick of the clock.It was such a stupendous loss, such a terrible and mysterious calamity, that even the fierce Yaquls were terror stricken and turned back.They returned to their valley, awed and frightened, telling a story that awed and frightened tho o left behind, and from that date their pow’er was broken.They have made war since only In small parties and in a half hearted way, and their dream of driving out the Gringo and the Mexican and recovering their owtu has been shattered forever.THE GRAND TRUNK’S BROCHURE* Company’s Latest Publication Shows Art in Advertising.Art in

two years with energy and faithfulness and his loss will be deeply felt.Stanstead Election Case.It is not likely that the Stan stead election case will go any further.It is generally conceited by lawyers that the act which dealt the death blow to the election petition was constitutional.The opposition had hoped that they might secure a disallowal of the act, and with this thought in mind it was remored that the case might be inscribed for hearing in the Supreme court, in order that any rights secured under a disallowal might be prescribed.It is not at all probable that there will be a disallowance.—Observer, Lo-aticook.Greenwood, B.C., May 25.—Information received here from Sherbrooke Que., announces that a consolidation of the War Eagle, Red Rock, and Lula claims in Phoenix camps has been made, and the controlling interest sold to a London, England, company.The new un dertaking is to be known as the Sherbrooke Consolidated, capitalized at one hundred and fifty thousand pounds ($750.000), in one pound shares.Active operations will shortly be commenced on the properties.War Eagle was staked in August, 1891, and has an immense outcrop of gold and copper ore.About two years ago it was acquired b> the War Eagle Copper Gold Mining Company, the majority of the stockholders being prominent Eastern Township business men.The mine is equipped with a steam plant.The development consists of a shaft sunk to a depth of 100 feet, with (KM) feet of drifting and cross cutting.Other claims are only partially prospected.M0ES RIVER.Mrs.J.Harran, the oldest resident of this place
