Among the speakers from abroad who are scheduled to take part are Rev. J. R. Henderson, of Rochester, represent- ing the BapClst Education Society; Rev. C. M. Tower, of Oneida, representing the N. Y. State Baptist Convention, and Rev. R. E. Burton, of Syracuse, who addresses the Young People's meeting on \The Gall to Battle. >; Rev. T, G. Cass, of Ma- lonej is booked for an address at- one of the Sunday school sessions on \The Worker.\ One of the prettiest little hamlets^in Franklin county is that of Owl's Head, ten miles south of Malone on the Adiron- dack Division of the New York Central railroad. The little village has grown like magic since the building of the rail- road, and contains S. G. Boyce's immense lumbering operations, planing and saw mills, two or three stores, a- hotel, a Methodist church and several nice resi- dences. The plateau where the- place tand3 is surrounded by mountains, add- ng to its picturesqueness, while the* air is bracing' ?. vA invigorating: if- there i a place where the people seem to be con- tented and life \one glad, sweet song*' it is at Owl's Head. It may be well to add hat all the trout in that vicinity are not caught with a silver hook either, Aguinaido is now believed to be dead. Major March who was chasing his sup- posed bodyguard had a brush with them near/ the Cagayan valley, in which the in surgeot officer was shot and seen to fall from his horse. The steed and saddle- bags were captured and the latter were found to contain Aguinaldo's personal papers. The next day some American solders saw a raft containing a body, with two soldiers guarding it, float down the Cagayan river. U is thought that the soldiers were taking the body of Aguin aldo to a place of safety. The horse was tiehly caparisoned, and even the Euro- pean members of the Filipino Junta be- lieve that Aguinaido is dead. The gov ernor of Bangued, a rich Influential ally of Aguinaido, has been captured and the capture is regarded as important. The insurgents have captured Capt. Charles D. Roberts, of Co.

Same result, so far as looks go. But the point of this tale is: 1st, That a paint is dear or cheap according to what it is; no matter about the price. Snd, That a gallon of one kind of paint can contain twice as much paiufc as a gallon of another kind of paint. Devoe goes twice as far as Mixed Paint -two to one—but that isn't all. This story, however, skips the rest—bow It wears is the rest. Another, same town—Ferguson & Thompson's store was painted some years ago with this same Mixed Paint—82 gal- lons.

Robert M. Moore was in New York again Thursday in connection with the motion for a new trial of Dr.. Kennedy. The motion was made about a week ago, but the assistant district attorney claimed the right to examine and cross-examine all witnesses furnishing the newly discovered evidence on which the motion for a new trial was made, and the court held with the district attorney and adjourned the proceedings to Thursday when the wit- nesses were procured and examined and argument on the motion was closed, the court reserving decision. The witnesses on whose affidavits'e motion was made were Tbomp^J. Farley, a cab driver, and Albert Wagner, also a cab driver, of St. George, S. I., who declare that they saw Dr. Kennedy at the St. George ferry- house, Stafcen Island, at 12:45 o'clock A. M. on the morning of the murder: Mrs, Ella E. McKelvey, of New Dorp,\ S. I., whoBtatesthatshesawDr. Kennedy at three o'clock in New Dorp on the morn- ing of the murder; Andrew M. Segnine, a hack driver, of New York, who says that on the night before the murder be drove Dollle Reynolds and a man from th Grand Hotel to Martin's In Lafayette, ao< that this man was not Dr. Kennedy. John Harrington Keene and Max Gumpel, two hand-writinsc experts, are also prepared to give new evidence. It is singular that when men visit an- other country in a semi-official capacity they have not respect enough tor thei: country's name and reputation to behav< themselves and so regulate their conduci as to properly represent the friendly senti meat of America for the country of which they are guests. Several of oar militia companies visited Kingston, Ont., on the queen's birthday,by invitation of the city authorities, and five of the members ot the Watertown company tore down and destroyed a valuable Union Jack belong ing to one of the citizens of the place. Ont of the men was very properly arrested but afterwards released, and tbe names of th© five soldiers were reported to the officers of tbe company and will be punish- ed for their conduct as the military code directs. The Canadians took the very charitable view that the men were drunk, as the best of feeling seemed to prevail between tbe Americans and Canadian troops daring th* day. Bat drank ar not, the coarse of (be men cannot be too severe- ly oondemned and nobody would have objected if the~t}anftdi*ns had puoi*b«i them severely for their insult to the gov- en&syeat and people whoa© guests they were, 4fa ftafeney ebou]d be exercised toward any man who, either at home or abroad, disgraces tbe uniform pt the A&arican soldier.
