Johnson Had Nothing to Say.
Waterville, Me., Sept. 11. United States
Senator Charles F. Johnson, when seen at his
home here at 10,15 tonight, said he had no
statement to make regarding the result of to
day's election.
OBITUARY.
The many friends of Mrs. Alvesta M. Hatch
of Morrill were grieved and saddened to learn
of her passing away at her home on Thursday
morning, Sept. 7th, after a long and painful
illness. The deceased was born in Morrill,
Maine-, August 13, 1848, one of the five chil
dren of Uriah T., and Esther W. Rowe, of
whom only two are now living, Mrs. Ida M.
Ellis of Morrill and Frank E. Rowe of Pasadena,
Calif. She was married to Leander J. Hatch
of Morrill, March 20, 1870. Three children
came to gladden their home;Mandred E.,Bertha
A., and Albra A., but the silent messenger
claimed one in infancy, and one in young man
hood, and only the daughter, Bertha A. of
Morrill remains to mourn her loss. Mrs. Hatch
was a resident of this town all her life and for
46 years Ijad lived in her late home, having
survived tier husband by 36 years. She was a
Baptist in faith, having been converted under
the labors of Rev. Mr. Vinal, and uniting with
the church during the Ministry of Rev. George
E. Tufts. She was an honored and consistent
member of this church at the time of her
death. She was a faithful, self-sacrificing wife,
a loving devoted mother and sister, and a loyal
friend and neighbor. She suffered greatly,but
through it all she was patient, uncomplaining
and thoughtful of others. Bravely she fought
for life, with a great courage, but toward the
end she prayed to be released. All that faith
ful loving devotion could do was done for her
by her daughter Bertha, assisted by the sister,
and many kind friends and neighbors. No
night was too long, and no duty too hard, for
them to do for her comfort. The funeral ser
vices were conducted at her home in Morrill
Sunday at 2 p. m., by her pastor, Rev. NatUan

“Mother, Good by; Thy journey done, within
our Father’s home
Wait thou until we, following on, into its
peace shall come.
The close sealed eyes dimmed with long
nights of watching, anxious tears
With radiance not of earth shall gaze through
blest eternal years
Upon the face of Him she loved—reflect.the
gracious smile.
Forget in bliss supreme “the shadows of
earth’s little while."
Mother, good by! Thy journey done within
our Father’s home
Wait thou until we, following on, into its
peace shall come.’’

IN MEMORY OF ELi.SN.
A frail little bark that battled.
And tossed about on life’s sea,
Has anchored safe in a harbor,
Where no stcrm or tempest be.
>Her sufferings are over;
Gone from the earthly borne
into a fairer mansion,
A brighter world to roam.
Take courage, ye who sorrow,
<God is watching, He is nigh,
T:be Supreme, who.governs all things
While we live and when we die.
