DEPOSIT OF STATE FUNDS MADE

It Was To Be to Senator Quay’s Son and

He Afterwards Got It—Orders Fron*

Senator Quay Directing Cashier to

Purchase Stocks For Him.

Philadelphia, October 6.—The hearing of U. S. Senator Quay, his son, Richard R. Quay, and Charles H. McKee of Pitts-

burg, on the charge of using state funds

in the People’s bank for speculation purposes, for their own profit, was begun be-

fore Magistrate Jermon today. The hear-

ing room was crowded with prominent politicians, lawyers and others. Counsel for defendants made a hard fight on the

point of insufficient evidence to establish a prirna facie case, and combatted the

prosecution at every point. The defense

used every endeavor to force the prosecution to Ehow who had instigated or in-

spired the charges. In furtherance of this object. Rufus E.

Shapley and A. S. L Shield, counsel for

defendants, endeavored to have called as a

witness Detective Meyers, who had made

the affidavit upon which the warrants of

urrest were issued. District Attorney Graham, however,

claimed that he had other evidence to

establish a case and refused to call Mey- ers. He oalled Receiver Barlow and Tel-

ler Tabor of the People’s bank, who testi-

fied to having found certain letters and telegrams in the desk of Cashier Hop- kins, after the latter’s suicide, which it was claimed, implicated the defendants in a conspiracy with the cashier for the use of the funds.

Certain memoranda of Cashier Hopkins were presented and against the ndmission of this evidence defendants’ counsel made strong objection. The district attorney finally presented as evidence the letters and telegrams. The first letter was from Stats 'lreasnrer Haywood to President MoManes of the People’s bank. It was dated July 25, 1896, and informed Presi- dent McManes that the state’s deposit in the hank would be increased from *500,- 0(‘0 to *600,000 tbe.followlng week, provid- ea mcnara ja. u»j was pei-muwi w

borrow $100,000. A telegram dated a week later from

Haywood to Cashier Hopkins, was next presented, which notified the latter of the letter to the president of the bank. Evidence was presented to show that the loan to Riohard Quay had been made. Cross-examination elicited the fact that the loan had been cancelled sinoe the bank had gone into liquidation which was in March last. Other letters and telegrams were read, several ot which were from Senator Quay to Cashier Hopkins, notify- ing him to buy or sell oertain shares of stock and giving directions relative to the transfer of other stock through the brok- er lirm of George A. Huhu of Philadel- phia. It was shown that the promised deposit referred to by State Treasurer Haywood was made, $600,000 being de- posited on August 1, 188l>, and $100,009 on August 3. jj A telegram was produced from Hay- wood to Hopkins dated November 20,1896, requesting him, if possible, to buy 100 shares of Metropolitan railway stock at 110; 100 shares at 109; 100 shares at 108; 100 shares at 107 and 100 shares at 106.

After a hearing lasting throe hours Sen- tor Quay and his son and Mr. McKee were bound over for appearance at the next term of court. Bail was fixed at

*5000 in each case. David B. Lane, a

local political leader, renewed the bond for that amount which he had entered when the accused men were given a pre- liminary hearing on Monday. The case

now goes on the list for trial at the term of court beginning In November.

Mr. Quay said tonight: “I think that no one who was present at the hearing today entertains any doubt as to the truthfulness of the charge boldly made by my council that this proceeding was

instigated by political enemies of mine who hide behind the district .attornoy and will not permit him to reveal their names

and that their sole purpose was to manu-

facture campaign literature by false charges that could not be met and an-

swered except on a trial.ln court. “Of course everybody knows that on

such a hearing I coaid not be permitted to make any defense or show the falsity of these charges and my counsel advised me it would be worse than mseless Jto at- tempt to do so at this time (and in such a

proceeding. Bat you may be sure that I have instructed-them to force this case

to a speedy trial in a court where both sides can be heard and after that to ex-

pose legally and punish to the utmost the instigators of this proceeding S“My counsel assures me >nat nor a scin-

tilla of legal evidence waj offered today to justify the issue of a warrantor a binding over. t

simply to say that they lira absolutely fals md wholly without foundation. EXTRADITION FOR jMRS. BOTKIN.

MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS.

State Convention Today Will Be of

Special Iuterest.

Present Tieket Will Be Renominated With Gov. Walcott at Head But

Speeches Will be Notable.

Boston, October 5.—The Republican convention to nominate a state tioketwill meet in Musio hall tomorrow, and while its work can be easily anticipated, there are features expected which will make it of the usual interest. In conformity with the custom so agreeable to office holders and the convention delegates, the night before the convention was da voted to

conferences, re unions, a great deal of

handshaking and unbounded hospitality at the American house. The miserable weather reduced the attendance but, nevertheless, the scenes were just as live-

ly and interesting as usual. A band en-

livened the occasion and played “Hall to the Chief” as Governor Wolcott, escorted

by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and followed by a party of state officials and

prominent men of the party entered the

reception parlor. Everything was in- formal and the governor departed after a

stay of half an hour. Soon after the committee on resolu-

tions, with Congressman Knox as chair-

man, went into session to review its labors on the platform. At a late hour it was announoed that the platform had been completed and that national affairs would be treated in no uncertain fashion. The convention programme will have as its features two addresses which are ex-

pected to bear almost entirely upon the problems now before the nation and oSpculaiiy luuao tvuiuu aio uo buhcu uj the Republican party In the near future. Congressman William H. Moody will be permanent chairman and he has already intimated that he will give his views upon the war in his convention speech. Senator Lodge being recognized as a writer upon historical subjects is expected to make a

brilliant speech devoted almost entirely to international questions. The organization of the convention will be simple. Chairman Goetting of the state committee will call it to order and Introduce Con- gressman Moody. The plaftorm will he reported by Congressman Knox, and in the course of events Congressman Law- rence will renominate Governor Wolcott and Congressman McCail will do the same

Investigation Commission Hearing Continued.

GEN. WHEELER COMPLETES HIS

TESTIMONY.

Gon. Boynton Goes on the Stand and De-

fends Cbickamauga as a Canop Site—

Says tVater was Plenty and Good.

.Washington, October 5.—Gen. Wheelei

completed his testimony before the wai

investigation commission today and was

followed by Gen. H. Y. Boynton, who was still on the stand when the day’s ses-

sion closed. Gen. Wheeler’s statement ol

today dealt entirely with the conditions at Camp WilioS and Gen. Boynton’s with those at Camp Thomas, whore he is now in command. Gen. Boynton described in detail the provisions for sup- plying the Georgia camp with water and told many interesting facts about tbe location of the treops and the precautions taken to care for and proteot them whether sick or well.

He said the men wasted more food than the army of the Cumberland consumed

during the Civil war in the siege of

Chattanooga, and he eulogized the supply methods of the war department throughout.

Washington, Ootober 5.—Gen. Wheeler resumed his testimony before the war in-

vestigating commission today. The ex-

amination on line of the New York World

charges was resumed. He said that if

there were any "camp horrors” on the 27th of August as charged the comman-

dor'of the camp was responsible for he had full power to furnish relief. There probably were Individual cases of suffering, but as a rule he knew the soldiers were

well oared for. There was certainly no

lack of food. The surgeons were authorized to expend GO cents per day on each invalid soldier. In addition to this supply there were his purchases and the con-

tributions of the good ladies by which the tents were filled with edibles. Fur-

menu inrliul/Tnala ffll'WUwTnfT

sums of money to j him. As many as 30 cheeks were sent him, the largest being for $5,000. He had in each case returned the checks because the money was not needed and^because he did not think it

proper that he should undertake the distribution of food. Gen. Wheeler admitted that in many înstances there were men ill in their camp quarters. Often men not very ill preferred not to

go to hospitals, and hospitals were too crowded to make room for them. He also said there were times when it was nec-

essary to put four men in a tent, saying that thi3 arrangement did not necessi- tate unnecessary crowding or render the men uncomfortable.

Home time was spent on the charge that Gen. Wheeler had said that Gen. Egan general oommissary officer of subslstance, had countermanded an order of his for supplies. This ocourred, he said, but it was due to a misconstruction of general orders regarding the 60 cent daily rations for the sick. The trouble was soon

remedied, not continuing more than two days.

Gen. Wheeler also explained the circumstances of the death of Private Perrit. Ho said that Major Beach had investi- gated the occurrence and had made a re-

port. My enquiry, said he, developed the

fact that Dr. labor was a little gruff to the men, but it also developed the fact that he had proved so efficient in the field that they were devoted to him and had petitioned for his retention in the army.

Continuing, he said, that the ohargo was that the man was not sent to the hospital when he hud complained just before his death. This, he thonght, was one of those individual cases of neglect and he thought it was to be explained by the fact that Dr. Tutor was probably ill himself. He found this true in other cases and had remonstrated with physicians for being irritable to patients, saying to them he presumed it was because they were not well themselves, when they had admitted this to be the ease. Gen. Wheeler said it was true that many soldiers would fall on the streets. He thought that all of them had been weakened by their experiences in Cuba and most of them had the germs of fever in them. Many had had no exercise and the oliun- atio conditions were against them. Even before they left Cuba they were very greatly weakened. It was not strange, therefore, if some of them had fallen to

the ground at Wykoff. The general took up the statement at-

tributed to Dr. Senn, concerning ths sinks. Be said the sinks were covered with lime. He had examined the ground and found the soil was not pourous. He also found that other physicians din not

agree with Dr. Senn as to the danger from typhoid. There was no outbreak of fever such as Dr. Senn had predicted. He admitted also in reply to a charge attributed to Dr. Cyrus Edson, that a

small percentage of the men in hospitals were without cots and were lying on the floor on August SO. They were, however, supplied with beds, and in no case

were there any complaints on this account. “It was painful to me to see the effort to make it appear that they were complain- ing when they were not.” Dr. Edson had also predicted an increase of typhoid, but the prediction had not been verified. Replying to a question, he said ho had put in a Alter on tho 31st of August mere-

ly as a precaution, not, because there was

then danger, but because some of the sur-

geons had suggested that the water supply might become impure as it grew lower. Many of the doctors had contented that a Alter was not needed.

Hen. Y! heeler said ha had seen a statement from Dr. E. E. Smith, that the

drinking water was contaminated, tie

had an examination made by the surgeons and Col. Smart, a noted expert, they informed him that the water was pure. The general considered the water supply adequate, pure and well distributed. He did not believe the water responsible for

uiiy of the illness. Replying to criticisms of the disinfecting plant by Dn Human Johnson, the general said it ban be.en

very effective. He thought it probable that many men had developed typhoid after leaving the camp. \Yhile It had been considered desirable to send su\" as could, go, to city hospitals, be had cautioned the surgeons against sending men not able to leave. He admitted that before tho steam laundry *

» if* t0

work there was a scarcity of clean linen

for patients. He said Dr. Thompson was mistaken in charging that the chief source of water supply was “a well atout a rod from a pest pond.” Be said the well was 400 yards from the pond.

Gen. Wheeler saidjlie had enoouraged the oiosest inspection from visitors and had asked men to visit the hospitals and report the complaints of men. He had also been glad to have the assistance of visiting physicians in determining the conditions. He had issued an order to prevent the use of ambulances by visitors.

Gen. Wheeler said Surgeon General Sternberg on his visit to the camn had strongly commended the conduct of the camp.

Replying to criticisms by Dr. Newton referring especially to the failure to have the camp at Montauk provided prior to the beginning of the war, Gen. Wheeler said that was impossible to forseo that the troops would return at so early a date.

Mr. Howell asked why there had not been a court-martial investigation of the charges! against Dr. Tabor in the Parrett case. Gen. Wheeler replied that he con-

sidered that the iniatlve of a court-martial should be taken by the Washington authorities. He also said that he had encountered no obstacles in securing such supplies as he had made requisition for. In addition to using the money allowed to buy provisions,he had used it for other purposes to add to the oomfort of the men, buying clothing, blankets, tents, bed sacks, putting up the laundry, eto. He thought there were tents enough to make 50,000 men comfortable, while there were never more than 20,000 men at one time.

Gen. Wheeler said that he had heard of but one case In which a surgeon had be- oome intoxicated. The man was relieved from duty.

Gen. Dodge asked the witness for a general expression of his opinion as to the conduct of the various bureaus of .the war department. Replying, he praised the work of all the supply departments, saying they were aotuated by zeal and characterized by intelligence. He had found the medical department from Gen. Sternberg down to be efficient and anx-

ious to promote the bast Interest of his department. The same was true of the ordnance, commissary and other departments. Gen. Wheeler said tho mortality among the Spanish soldiers was quite equal to that among the Amerioan troops.

This completed Gen, Wheeler’s testimony.

Gen. H. V. Boynton next took the stand. He said that since July 8, he had been on duty at Camp Thomas as an

army officer. Recently his espeolal duty had been to look alter the camp's water

supoly. At present he was in command of the camp. He thought 66,000 the largest number of troops that had ever been In camp at any one time. Generals Brooke, Wade and Breckinridge had been in command successively of the camp.

Gen. Beaver called Gen. Boynton’s attention to the uritioism of the camp site, and asked him his opinion of the location. Gen. Boynton, who has been a

member of the park commission for nine years, said that the park had always been considered one of the most healthy spots in LQO country. iuqid Jiau uo> ci wcu u>

death in the park force and never a case

of typhoid fever. Out of 2,300 men em-

ployed there, there were only seven deaths and none of them were due to typhoid.

In the year 1890, in the two counties in which the park was situated, there had been only 12 cases of typhoid fever. The park was 650 to 700 feet above the 6ea level and the land was rolling and well drained, being free from swamps. The whole park was underlaid by mag- nesian limestone and it was from under this that most of the water was secured. There were three sources for the supply, a number of springs, the river and ar-

tesian wells. There were now 36 of these wells, and there were nine when the camp 6ite was selected.

The live springs, so far as he knew, were inexhaustible and only one bad been exhausted during the occupancy of the camp by the troops.

The wells were also apparently inexhaustible. In addition to these 1,800,000 gallons were pumped every 24 hours from the river and this water distributed through the camp by means of pipes. The river water supply wa3 not designed originally for drinking purposes, but for cooking, washing, and other such uses.

However, the water had been found to be quite pure. The stream was fed wholly by mountain springs, including the big Crawfish springs. The river water had been analyzed three times chemically and once bacteriologically. The water had in each case been pronounced pure and entirely suitable for drinking and ^domestic purposes. Gen. Boynton remarked: “It was impossible for the river .water to bo contaminated. I know all about that and I do not consider there is any foundation for that charge."

There were no towns or villages above the camp toward the source of the Chick amauga river and there were no resi- dences on it between the camp and Craw- fish springs. There was no sewage empty- ing into the stream. In some instances the water was filtered.

Gen. Boynton said that while there was

plenty of water of good quality for the camp,considerable water had been brought in recently in barrels from springs four or five miles outside. This was done be-

cause of the suspicion of some of the sur-

geons concerning the water in the camp. When the men began to get sick the

surgeons insisted upon going away from the camp for the water.

He said there were no sinks nearer the

wells than 200 feet. The surface of the ground was an impervious c.'ay and the wells were all drilled through solid rock. It was impossible for the water to be contaminated from the sinks. The wells were cemented and there was no possi- bility of polluting lrom tne sunuuu.

Tho only typhoid fever in the camp was

brought in from the outside. The volunteers were located in the wooden portion of the park, but the wood was insufficient for shade. It could be easily penetrated by the sunshine. The surface was well ooVered with wild grass. A small num-

ber of the troops wore located in “Flat- woods.” He did not consider this part of

the site especially desirable, but it was

dry. He had never heard of mildew form- ing in the camp on aooount of dampness.

Gen. Boynton asserted that the camp was not crowded. Gen. Brooke had himself selected tho ground for each regiment and brigade. Gen. Boynton said that tho sinks were from 30 to 00 feet from tho tents and that in some instances the kitchens were not farther than 30 feet from the sinks. Much of the kitchen offal was burned, but in other cases the offal was dumped into kitchen sinks and then at times it was hauled off and dumped In the woods contrary to orders. Men were obdurate about such matters and it was difficult to properly police so extensive a camp. The chief surgeon of the camp had assured him that there was a daily inspection of tho sinks.

The typhoid fever in the camp did not exoite serious attention until about the middle of July, when the oases averaged about two per thousand. It afterwards inoreaseil until there were about 400 about the 50,000 men. He had given especial attention to the hospital of the second division of the third corps, as it had received the especial attention of the sensational press. He had found that out of 3,463 cases of illness in this hos-

pital. there had been oDly 3“6 cases of typhoid. The fever had in all oases been of a mild character. At one time, after

measles broke out in the camp the hos-

A special train is coming from Brainerd

Walker, Minn., October 5.—A hard tight with the Indians occurred today and the

reports from the scene of the battle on

the other side of the Leech lake are some-

what conflicting, although oil reports agree that the result has been considerable shedding of blood and some loss of life on

both sides. No word has come from tho front for

several hours which fact is considered somewhat ominous. The most serious

report is that the detachment of troops with General Baoon was massacred and

the General himself being said to be

among the dead. Three newspaper correspondents, Brill

of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Beaton of

ihe Minneapolis Tribune and Knappen of

Minneapolis Times are known to have

been in the fight and one report is that

they were killed while another says they are now prisoners in the hands of the

Indians. Inspector Tinker received a shot in the

leg and ha d his sleeve riddled. Brill, of

the Pioneer Press, Beaton of the Tribune

and the Times’ correspondent had landed

prior to the arrival of tho soldiers. They were thus brought into the thick of the

fight and fought with the soldiers. To-

night an Indian who arrived from Bear

Island states that all the men out of uni-

form bad been killed, but that he could

not tell how many soldiers had been

Ehot. Ao word, whatever nas corae num vû-

oral Bacon, neither has it been possible to coniirm the report that the entire de-

tnchment has been wiped out. Theoutloos

at this hour is that the agency Indians

may go on the war jiath at any moment.

They have been holding a council all

night and reports are received every half

hour by runners describing the condition

of affairs. Two of the old chiefs want war, but there are others who are trying to

stem the tide of discontent and to prevent any conflict with the troops.

Minneapolis, Minn., October 5.—A

special to the Journal from Walker,Minn, says: “A terrific battlo was fought at eleven

o'clock this morning, thirty miles from

Walker at Bog-Ah-Mo Go-Shirk point, close to Bear island. One hundred men

under General Bacon landed on the point shortly after eight o'clook. The landing was effected with considerable difficulty, owing to a high sea. After landing, the

soldiers searched the thick undergrowth thoroughly and every precaution was

taken against ambush. No Indians were

seen. Shortly before eleven o'olock, the men were ordered to line up in an open spaoe near the lake shore and preparations were about to be mads for dinner. The 3oldiers were standing in column

^formation when a shot was bred from

Bog-Ah-Me-Ge-Shirk’s house. The ball

struck Ed Harris, ex-marshal of Walker, a half breed. His arm.was broken. Im-

mediately the Are became general from ail

directions. It seemed that a shot came

from every bush. Three of General Bacon’s men dropped. They were carried to the rear. When the Arst shot was

heard, every man in the command sprang to cover.

General Bacon stood straight up supported Major Wilkinson and looked right into the eye of the foe.

“Steady, men,” he called, “keep cool

now, keep cool.” Again there came a

volley from the Indians and then the

Krag-Jorgensens opened np with a fright- ful rattle, just as the pillagoxs made a ter-

rifio rush. Half a dozen of them dropped and the rest fell back, yelling like Aends.

There must have been 150 or 200 In-

dians. Lieut. Morrison, with twenty men mad a rush to prevent the re capture of Old Mah-Unnod and Bap-Dway-We- Dnng.

The marshals had these men under ar-

rest. Lieut. Morrison’s squad scattered the Indians who tried to rescue the prisoners. The Indians later Ared in a de-

sultory way and the order was given the

troops to charge. The soldiers ran ducking and dropping

like grass-noppers. xney maue ido most

of their opportunity. Suddenly a volley was fired by the Indians at the steam tug Flora, which lay off shoro. A score of bullets went through the frail woodwork of the boat and every man except the

pilot sought cover. Some blazed away in return with revolvers, but the range was

too long. A volley was then fired at the

tug Chief of Duluth. Inspector Tinker was shot through the leg and his coat

sleeves were toin to ribbons by another ball. The Flora steamed for the agency under orders from Marshal O’Connor to

get the twenty men under Lieut. Hum-

phrey, who had been loft here. O'Conner

escaped death by a miracle. The Indians fired a volley directly at him. Brill, the

newspaper correspondent, and also Beast-

on, fought fcravoly with revolvers. The steorsman of the tug Jennie was

shot through the arm with a Winchester ball. He is badly hurt. The Indians gave the tug a full volley as she pulled cut.

Rev. Mr. Ghenler of Owatonna, Minn., was in tho boat and had a narrow escape.

On hoard the Flora when she started for ieinforoements were Marshal O’Con-

nor, Deputy Morrison, Indian Agent Sutherland and the Indian prisoners. A

guard of two men under Corporal Not-

tokoven was sent with the Flora. She will return at once with rations and am-

mn nit,inn.

Lieut. Humphrey was white with rage when the news reached him. His nan

have already started for the front. The

fire of the Krag-Jorgensens, SO miles dis-

tant, has teou distinctly audible from

this point. They have been banging away all the afternoon. A man just in says that wo have lost four killed and nine

wounded up to date. The wouudod city marshal of Walker was brought home

under a Red Cross flag aboard the Flora.

He will recover, but his life is not worth

a pinch of snuff so long as there are any Bear Island Indians remaining in the

country. Marshal O’Connor and Deputy Marshal

Sheehan behaved with the utmost brave-

ry. ‘Lieut. Morrison had never been undei

fire before, but he was steady. The me:

behaved splendidly. O’Connor was put ashore in a hostile country and he ran

four miles over thistles and through brush to reach the Leech Lake agency. All families art; being removed from the

agency. General Bacon is beyond telegraphic

communication and no boats can reach

him for three hours. 4.15 p. m.—The firing seems to have

ceased.

FLOODS IN VERMONT,

Most Destructive Freshet iu Tweutjr Years.

Thousands of Dollars of Property Destroyed—All Travel into Bennington Blocked—3Iany Bridges Carried Away.

*■ Bennington,Vt., October S.—The heavi- est and most destructive freshet In this section for £9 years, is raging here tonight and thousands of dollars worth of property has been destroyed. Bain began falling heavily Tuesday night and con-

tinued with little intermission for 18 hours,jthe total precipitation being folly six Inches and all the main streams are

full to overflowing. At 3 o’clock this afternoon a roaring branch of the largo and rapid Otter river broke over its channel at the head of County street, sending a vast flood of water throughout its entire length, nearly a mile, and washing the street in a very destructive manner. In leaving County srteet, it broke over

the meadows near the soldiers homo and continued mostly along the highway for three or four miles toward North Ben-

nington there being great damage done over this long stretch of territory, the surging flood taking away bridges culverts, fences and washing it at points almost b9yond repair. Fiv6 or six bridges on the Bennington and Woodford olectr.'o railroad and long stretches of the road- bed are washed away. A supposedly substantial iron bridge of tho Bennington and Hoosio valley etleclrio railroad at tho n 'rth nntt nf tho ril.mra urns nr*priori

away and the road ted so badly washed at places that no cars will run over the road for at least two weeks.

Tho Bennington ,-nd Rutland railroad lost a bridge at South Shaftsbury, seven

miles form here and no cars can be run

north. The Fitchburg railroad lost a

culvert by a landslide the track being covered with three feet of water and two freight cars are off the iron at Walljom- sao. This blocks all travel into Benning- ton from the South and West. Owing to the darkness and the impossibility of reaching different points tonight an ac-

curate report of the damage cannot be given but it is conservatively estimated at $30,000.

FITCHBURG TRAINS HELD UP.

Williamstown,' Mass., October 5.—A11 Fitchburg trains since 5 o’olock this afternoon have been held here on account of serious washout and land-slides for 30 miles west of Pownal, Vt., due to the heavy rains of’last night and today, la all 15 washout are reported. The water is so high in some places that work can-

not be begun. There are live washouts between Johnsonville and Valley Falls.

Into one of these, looal freight t4l plunged and three cars are derailed. At Schaghticoke, a large bridge has been taken out. At Johnsonville 300 feet of the track is washed out and the gully is over 50 feet deep. A’.l the section gangs west of Fitchburg were brought here on a special train and put to work. Thera is no traffic west of here.

GREAT DAMAGE TO SHIPPING,

Furiher Reports From Floods on Georgia Coast.

Savannah, October 5.—At Darien the water is reported high and the town bad-

ly damaged. There are many rumors of loss of life, but all of tho reports thus far received are believed to be exaggerated. The damage by wind and rain ha9 been enormous and extends inland one hundred, miles in some cases. The damage to shipping is very great. Near Darien, the schooner Blanche Hopkins collided with a small schooner, the Minnie and sunk her. The Minnie had on board 3000 pounds of dynamite. At Fernandina the tug Gladiator is said to have lauded in tho middle of tho town. Mrs. Lucy Car- negie’s magnificent yacht Dcngeness is badly damaged.

vention here today adopted a vote com-

mending an offer made by the Bev. iV il-

bur F. Berry to resign bis pastorate ami

give hi* time to work as a state agent tor the Christian Civic League, piovided 30 men can be found to give $100 eacn

towards the expenses of a year’s work.

Mr. Berry is a Methodist clergyman, at

present serving the Congress street "Metho-

dist church in Portland. He has been a

prominent, member of the Civic League, the purpose ot which is to secure Che en-

forcement of law, its efforts being especially directed to tbe laws dealing with the

liquor traffic and Sunday observance. 1C was during the lorcnoon session

that Rev. Hr. Spencer presented the tal-

lowing report from the committee on re-

iorm. which led tbe way to the presentation offiMr. Berry’s proposition:

As a convention of Christian men and

women, we believe that no stable com-

monwealth can be established anti main- tained, nor can the Kingdom of Christ be built up without the foundation of morals and religion.

As promoters of pure teligion in this Btato we deplore and condemn the evils that are practicea in spite of law and

guspel. In particular we renew our indignant

protest against Jthe persistent effects of

liquor dealers and Sabbath breakers to

WeaKGQ a WllOiesuuiii- icciiccb un ■■*■■■

order aud we see in such effects a grow n I ot lawlessueM which is certain not o! stop with the violations of the prohibi- tory law and Sabbath, most earnestly < o

wo condemn the connivance on sworn

officers of the law, tho selfish policy of

corporations and the apathy of many citizens in respect to such law breaking.

Uo reaffirm with renewed emphasis that these siDg aguinst good government, together with all other kindred evils, such as swindling, murder, easy divorce, slander, neglect of tno public worship of GoJ, profanity and covetousness are

t,f tho devil, and we pledge ourselves to

cast them out and to use our influence in every feasible way to bring them to m

utter end. t he -recommendation made by tins

tody a year ago to use the Christian Civic League of Maine as a valuable agency through which to co-operate in the extinction of these evils is hereby repeated and strongly urged and the hope expressed that an efficient agent of the league be seemed without delay to

give greater effect to its aims and purposes.

Lev. Mr. Owen of Houlton spoke in support of the recommendation that a Civic League worker be put in the Held. He told of the Civic League’s work in Aroostook county in securing from the candidates for the Republican nomination lor county attorney a declaration that thev would impartially enforce the pro- hibiiory law. Hon. h. W. Shaw, one of the signers of this declaration, vras nomi- nated and eHcted.

tha executive officer of the State League. Mr. Berry offers to give up his pastorate and enter upon the wort provided 80 men can to found who will guarantee to give him 8100 each for a year’s work. Mr. Owen said that Mr. Berry, a successful pastor, offered to leave bis work as a

minister to do labor regarded as mean and dirty, but which was really high and noble service.

A vote was then unanimously pissed commending the plan to put Mr. Berry In the field as state agent of the Civic League.

THE BAPTIST CONVENTION;

Some of the Interesting Features of Gath-

ering at Houlton.

.aFSCIAL TC THE FEESS.I V

Houlton, October 5.—The liveliest ses

sion of the Baptist brethren came when Rev. Mr. Mason of Dexter made his

proposition that the services of the record-

ing seoretary should be dispensed with until the financial outlook improved. The

recording secretary is erap'oyed by the board of trustees and on him devolves much of the wor.; of the board. Besides his large work through the medium of

correspondence he pays many visits to the churches in all parts of the stato and in all ways in his power promotes the missionary work in Maine. For a nnm-

Eev. Dr. A. T. Dunn of Waterville. Mr. Mason’s suggestion came in the midst of a conference” on the stata work, when the minds of the brethren were fixed on the fact that the annual reports to which they had just listeued revealed a deficit of some

$.300 and described how tho appropriation nad of necessity been curtailed during the past year.

At the beginning of the discussion.Rev. Mr. Flanders of Biddeford interested the convention by an account of tho way in which the Biddeford church reduced its need of aid so that this year it asks for only half tho aid which it received last year It m done by an appeal to the members to add" to their contributions one cent a day. There were enough members ready to enter into this arrangement

to bring about the result stated Mr. Flanders thought that should this plan

be tried in otbei oburcbes and in the con-

vention itself there would be no further necessity for the discussion of a deficit.

Rev. Mr. Wilson of the Maine Bible society was introduced and told of the great number of Maine families who pos- sess no copy of the Bible, and have no re

llgioue privileges. Mr. Wilson described the efforts of the society to meet this state of things, illustrating his remarks with stories of many cases in the society’s work. Last year more than $5000 was spent in the work hut with this amount 20,000 families were reached. Mr. Wilson appealed for a continuation of the generous support the churches have given the Bible society.

Rev. J. M. Wyman of Augusta, then resumed the discussion of the annual re-

ports. The convention did not want this occasion to pass without showing that they

WERE NOT INDIFFERENT

to the situation revealed in the reports. New as to the deficit. It is not as large ns it was last year and a part of it is due to the past indebtedness The convention :: jght meet the case by retrenchment in

iolis ways, but in so doing the work would be likely to become demoralized.

at if ihe church in Biddeford can secure

co-operation of thirty persons to give nob an additional cent a day, does it

t m that we should lio back, close the booksjmd do nothing? Why, if tho plan so aldy presented by the brethren from Li .duford should be tried by an average of only five persons in each of the churches it would add $5000 a year to the receipts.

Rev. Mr. Ford of Eastport said that he was not a pessimist or the son of a

pessimist, but he must say that iu his opinion it was not an encouraging out-

look for state work, specially in the rural (Jirtflots of Mijijxj knew that this

was so in Washington county. There is no funeral so sad as that of a church, and it should bo the dnfy cf the larger churohes whenever possible, to go to ihe aid of the smaller churches when they are

in danger. By so doing, a number of the ohurchos in Washington county, saved a

small churoh which has since become the most influential in the locality. Let the churches of the convention face the situation bravely and wisely and next year there may bo a better outlook.

Rev. Dr. Wilson of the Free street church, Portland, spoke of the need of the members feeling that this was a question for each of them. They should take the matter up themselves and not shoulder it off on the oxpcutive committee. If we

wait for the executive committee to formulate a plan, we shall pick flaws in it, for we shall all find fault until our wings arc grown and we are full fledged angels, just as our fathers did before us

and our children will after ns Go home to your ohurcbes and take this matter up. Howf I don’t know as that matters much. Let each study it for himself. Take tbo convention offering first and then take care of the convention deficit. Why that debt will get up and hump itself if the church gets up and humps itself.

REV. MR. MASON

of Doxter then made his proposition. He nscended the platform and spoke earnestly of his fifteen years connection with the church in Maine and his interest in its work. He proposed that the services of the corresponding secretary be dispensed with for one and perhaps two years, 3

member of the executive committee, say Mr. Whittemore, doing the work end re-

ceiving suitable compensation. Mr. Mason said that it wii9 not pleasant for him to make this statement. He knew it would not commend itself to many. He had not been asked to make it, and he did so on his own responsibility, actuated by a desire to do what was right.

Several members promptly expressed dissont from this plan. Rev. Dr. Burrage moke earnestly against the proposition. He said he did not believe that half a

dozen members in the 'house would be found to lie in favor of it If the convention did nor want the services of Brother Dunn, let somebody else be secured, but let not the work he abandoned. There Is another side in this matter. 'Go back six years and yon will find that before that for a period of many years, the Baptists of Maine had been losing. They had lost about 2001) members, but in the past six years they have pained about that number. Twentv years ago the Baptists of Maine pave $12,000 a year to convention purposes. Last year they pave $27,000 the largest amount in their history. What, matters it if after these years of financial stringency, there was a decrease in the pastyiar. it is right to look on both sides of the is question. We have looked on one ns is right. Let us not forget the other—that the Baptists of Maine, about the same in numbers as they were twenty years ago, have in that time doubled their contributions.

Rev. Dr. Chase spoke earnestly in favor of renewed effort. He was glad that this question had been raised although he did not favor the proposition. He wanted no

backward step. He did Dot want the expenses red need or the services of the secretary dispensed with. Rather he would in- struct him to go out and use greater, efforts to arnuse the churches.

Rev. Dr Spencer said that when Mr. Mason made his suggestion he could not help thinking, Does he really mean it? It must he a sober jest.a deep laid plan to stir us tip and arouse interest. Dr. Spen- cer spake earnestly against the proposition. He concluded by saying that he might not have great logic, but he did have deep feeling on this subject.

Rev. Dr. Huzlewood of Boston said that, like Dr. Spencer when he heard Mr. Mason's remarks, he thought they must have been designed to stir the brethren np. Maine was undergoing what other states had undergone in the past few years, states which had already been in the dumps The action proposed by Mr. Mason would be a surprise in other states, for no man was more appreciated in the work than Secretary Dunn. (Applause.)

DON’T DO ANYTHING FOOLISH because you are discouraged.

Rev. Mr. WMttemore, who was men-

tioned by Mr. Mason as a man who might do the work, said that his name had been used without his consent. I don’t believe, said he that the good Lord would put this burden on me, and if he did I would not take it. Then Mr. Whittsmore made some pointed remarks on ways and means. We had a prayer meeting in ray church before we came up here about this matter, he said. In the midst of the eloquence, I looked a* one of my deacons who is a

large giver, and he looked at me, for the man was speaking then hadn’t given a rod cent for five year3, and I don’t believe he will for the next five. Brother Mason meant well when he made that suggestion He had the work at heart Don’t kill him because of it. Kill me, if you want to, I don’t care.

Rev. Mr. Nowcomb said that whatever might he wise, he thought it was something of an insult to say that Mr. Mason’s suggestion should be regarded in a Pick' wiokian sense. He did not take it as a

joke, hut after thought and prayer, and after writing to; the secretory abont it. there had been too much of this talk about a joke. It was not a retreat to cut your garment in accordance with your cloth. Mr. Newcomb believed the suggestion a good one.

Rev Dr. Spencer exclaimed: Mr. Chairman, there is no douht this would tie regarded as a retreat. It would be so regarded in every enuroh.

A -kiu.

Dr. Spencer—We have had a secretary for thirty years and more. We have a good me now and we want to keep him. To iispense with his services would be a re-

peat. Rev. Mr. Flanders wanted to take issue

with the statement that the comments on Mr. Mason’s suggestion were in the

NATURE OF AN INSULT, Nothing of the kind was intended. He

oved Mr. Mason as much as he ever did. Mr Flanders said he was a new man in Maine, but he knew of the value of a secretary from his knowledge of the work in itber states. The action proposed would be a mistake. He thought a resolution should be adopted directing the executive committee to raise more money.SSJ^S'BSSl

Rev. Sir. Ford of Eastport told of the Bncouragement small churches derived from visits of tbo secretary.

The discussion came to an end when Dr. Dunn came to the front of the plat- 'orm and made an earnest appeal that the services of a secretary be gretained. He spoke of the high regard he felt for the members who had advocated the proposition under discussion an3 said that he lid not speak for his own retention in the lillce. That was a very small matter. He believed that the services of a secre-

tary were needed and earnestly pleaded shat they be retained. Dr. Dunn was ap- ilauded when he closed and the matter was dropped without action.

OFFICERS ELECTED. At the forenoon session today the fol-

owing officers were elected: President—Rev. Win. A. Newcombe. Vice-President—Rev. Nathaniel But-

ler, D. D. Recording Secretary—Rev. Henry S.

ON PUBLICATIONS. Rev. Mr. Flanders in the report for the

jommittee on publications, urged that ;he state paper, the Advocate, should not

be allowed to suffer by the multiplication of other denominational publications. Tbo report recommended that the pastors should present the desirability of sub- scribing to the paper to their people and young people’s society. Following the adoption of the report, Dr. Burrage in a

short address gave an interesting history of the seventy years of the life of the paper and hie own connection tvith it, covering a period of 25 years. Dr. Bur-

rage spoke of the necessity of efforts to

maintain the paper’s usefulness by intro-

ducing It in Baptist families. Hev. Dr. Ilsey, Rev,, Mr. Dutton, Rev.

Tr. Wilson, Rev. Mr. Preble. Mr. Perkins of Auburn, Rev. Mr. Van Kirk and Rev. Mr. Mower spoke in behalf of the paper. Mr. Flanders then asked permission t.o

amend his report by Incorporating in it a

resolution of congratulation to Dr. Bur- rage on the completion of his 25 years of service with tho paper. The resolution was adODted by a rising vote and an appropriate pravo’r was offered by the Rev. Mr. White.

The work of the commission on sys- tematic benevolence was presented In a

series of interestin'! addresses by Rev. E. A. Mason and Rev. Dr. C. H. Spalding of Boston. Rev. Dr. Bunker delivered an able address on foreign mission work.

FLAG MUSN’T COME DOWN.

Col. Roosevelt Opens Campaign with

Speech on Foreign Policy.

New York, October 5.—Jammed from

top to bottom with a cheering throng Carnegie hall was the soene tonight or the great mass meeting that openod the

campaign of Col. Roosevelt for Governor of New York on the Republican tioket. When Col. Roosevelt appeared on the

plotfotm the spectators leaped up, cheer-

ing and waving hats and handkerchiefs. Behind Col. Roosevelt Lieut. Gov. Wood- ruff, ohairman William Barnes, Jr., of the State Executive committee; Seth Low, Lemuel E. Qutgg, Joseph Choate, Collector Bldwell, Ex-Minister Stewart L. Wood and Klihu Root. The cheering continued for more than a minute.

Chairman Quigg of the county committee Introduced Ex-Minister Woodford as chairman of the meeting. After a brief s peech he introduced Col. Roosevelt. The latter said in part: “Elrst and foremost this campaign is

a campaign for good government, in the nation and the state. If X am eleoted governor, I shall try to make good the promises, both express and implied, made on behalf of my candidacy, for I shall try to so administer the affairs of the state as to make eaoh citizen a little prouder of the state and I shall do my best to serve ray party, by helping it serve the people. So far as in me lies, I shall see that every branch of the government under me, Is administered with integrity and capaoity and when I deal with any publio servant, I shall not be very patient with him if he lacks capacity and -short indeed will be his shrift if be laoks integrity.

“We cannot avoid the fact that we oc-

oupy a new place among the people of the WUilU) uuu uuiv wuuwiv\» u^vu u nun iu

reer. “The guns of our warships in the

tropic seas of the west and the remote east have awakened us to the knowledge of new duties. Our flag is a proud flag and it stands for liberty and civilization. Where it has once floated, there must and shall be no return to tyranny or savagery.

We are face to face with our destiny and we must meet it with a high, a resolute courage. “I should ask the people of this country

to support the administration of Presi- dent McKinley if for no other reason than because, say what you like, the victory at the polls of the men who are opp.:sing and denouncing his administration in this eleotion, will be interpreted abroad as meaning on the part of America a re'

pudiation of the war from which we have just emerged triumphant. It will strengthen the hands of every hostile power which views with jealousy our victories in the Antilles and the Philippines. It will result in the partial undoing of what our army and navy have accom-

plished. It will mean the ohance of grave complications and the likelihood of our

meeting obstaoles when it comes to reap- ing the fruits of our triumph. We will gain less than we ought to from thie war if the administration is not sustained at these elections.’’

ISFECIAB TO THE FRESS.j Bath, October 5.—At a meeting of the

city council tonight the recommendation of the fire underwriters was referred to

'proper committees. The report recom-

mends for the better protection of the joity: that a new lire station he built on

"Water street, in the business seotion; that the chemical now disabled, be repaired and kept ready for use; that the ferryboat Union bo converted into a fire boat by the addition of a powerful steam pump; that at least ejjjht new alarm boxes be added to the system; that Thompson brook pumping station by put in con-

Mr. Nathaniel T. Fulmer, builder and

managing owner of the lost schooner Sarah E. Palmer, said today that the vessel was worth- $40,000 at the time of

the stocks at their yard near the Iron Works. The Sarah E. Palmer was the first and smallest of the schooners.

The body of George A. Rook, the un-

fortunate engineer of,the Mohawk, who

was fatally injured Monday night, was

taken to Richmond yesterday afternoon, and the funeral servioes were held there

This brings immediately to the front some important questions relating to the church, Including the name by which the Episcopal church in American will hereafter be known, tbe last council having designated it as the “Protestant Epis- copal ohuroh in the United States of America."

According to the rules of the council this change must be passed upon again at this conncll.

Kittery at the last September election. Witnesses for tbe petitioner testified

that during the counting of votes several loose Staples stiokers were found within ballots and that they were all counted. Some of the petitioner’s witnesses admitted that the stickers seemed to have been once attached to a ballot and were apparently detached by handling.

to them and ordered that tbe requested mandamus should issne. Judge Emery filed exceptions and the matter goes to the full bench, briefs to be filed within 30 days._

able incident in the Yeliow pond tragedy came to light late this afternoon. Charles B.

'THE CHINESE VIEW.

San Francisco, October 5.—In a signed interview regarding the recent disturb- ances near Pekin, Ho You, the Chinese oonsul here says: “I believe the recent trouble in China

Cambridge, Mass., October 5,—Harvard defeated Bowdoin easily in the second

game of the season on Soldiers’ field this

afternoon, but not till the boys from Maine had soored a touchdown and a goal making the final tally 38 to 6. In the middle of the second half,'after the Crim- son had run the score up to 21 points and was having everything its own way, Har- vard’s left melted away before ; the ham-

mering of Clark, Stockbridge and Bill, till the ball was two feet from Harvard’s line. Then that space.,was halved for off side play and Clark bolted over through the centre with room to spare. Harvard soored three touchdowns in the first half and two in the seoond, with some substitutes In the line. In spite of the discour-

aging weakness shown in the second half, the*Harvard team played on the whole rauoh the best game it has shown thus far. Reid, Daly and Swain put X1P the best game for the Crimsons. All three made long runs from the baok field, and Swain did some clever round the end

A LYNCHING NEAR ANNAPOLIS.

Annapolis, Md., October 5.—Wright Smith, colored, who attempted an assault an Mrs. Morrison, the wife of Capt. James Morrison, residing near Jones's station, was taken from jail shortly after 3 o’clock this morning and shot.

The lynching party went to the jail, pointed guns at night watchman Duval, and took the prisoner to Sanders’s lot, near the oity cemetery and riddled his body with bullets.

Smith begged for mercy as he was being led from the jail.

The lynchers were evidently from the section of the assault. They came in bug- j es, which were tied up on Cbilege Creek o ridge, at the northern boundary of An- napolis.

The crime for which Smith was lynched jccurred on the night of September 2, while Capt. Morrison was absent from lome.

The house was entered by a negro, who orone into the room ocoupied by Mrs.

Think of liv. < ing a year or

two after one is dead; dead

to al! practical in- tents and purposes,— dead, with the auto-

graph of death inscribed on brow and cheek and lip.

Thousands of women live for a year or two after all help- fulness and happiness have gone out of their lives.

When a woman becomes hope- lessly helpless and unhappy she is practic-

ally dead. The young woman to whom the future is a dreary waste, the young wife who is a helpless, nervous invalid, the mother whose babes are a burden instead of a blessing,—all these, unless they take the right measures to recover their health, are better dead than living. In the majority of cases these ghosts of women owe their condition to weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. Frequently they have been deceived by the incorrect diagnosis of some obscure physician and do not understand the true nature of their trouble. It only costs a two-cent postage stamp for a woman to write and describe her condition to Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skilful special- ist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y. He will answer etters from ailing women without charge. He is the discoverer of Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription, the greatest of all cnown medicines for women. It acts lirectly on the delicate organs concerned n maternity and makes them strong lealthy and vigorous. It banishes the in- hspositions of the anxious period and nakes baby’s coming easy and almost lainless. It cures all disorders and dis- ilacements and checks exhausting drains. ’•Previous to motherhood my wife was very

Morrison and her sister, and attempted to assault them. Both women fought desperately and finally drove off their assailant.

Last Monday, Smith, who had disap- peared from the neighborhood, was arrested in Baltimore and taken to Annapo- lis.

Mrs. Morrison unhesitatingly identi- fied him as her assailant.

BASE BALL NOTES. It is said that the Boston and Chicago

oiubs will make least $50,000] each this season.

it would appear from the record that the Bostons have a mortgage on the league penant. They and the Baltimores have still ten games to play, four with eacn other. The Boscons have three at Brooklyn and three at Washington, while the Baltimores are meeting the New Yorks in a series of six. If the Orioles win all ten their percentage will be .670, with 101 victories and 50 defeats, while the Bostons by winning five and losing five can finish ahead with .671 per cent, or 103 victories and E0 defeats. As it it improbable that the Baltimores can make a clean sweep, and also quite likely that Boston will do better than an even break, the experts; are generally conceding the championship once more to Seles's fine ball team.—S).

DON'T WANT TO GET OUT-

Spaniards Say Immediate Evacuation of

Cuba is Impossible.

Havana, October 4.—(Delayed in trans- mission.) At the joint session this morn-

ing of the United States and Spanish mil-

itary commissions, the Spaniards, accord-

ing to report, declared it was impossible to evacuate the island immediately, while the American commissionars insisted that their instructions called for an immediate evacuation.

After two hours’ oonferenoe on the sub-

ject the joint commissioners were unable to reaoh any definite agreement.

The well known insurgent leader, Juan Gilberto Gomez and Colonel Garcia, a

eon of General Callxto Garcia of the Cuban army, accompanied by Major Plnillos, have arrived here as a special commission charged with the task of uniting the different Cuban parties In favor of independence.

Captain General Blanoo today suspended the order issued several days ago to disband the p.rovislonal battalions reinforc- ing the regular troops. The reason for the steps is not known.

PEACE COMMISSION IN SESSION. Puria K —Tha TTnUflrt

peaco commission held Its usual session today from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m. The commissioners continued their conference with Major General Merritt and practically concluded an extended canvass of the Philippine situation.

The members of the commission refused to disclose the views of General Merritt or Admiral Dewey in regard to the policy to be pursued towards the people of the Philippines.

But it developed that Admiral Dewey hnndod General Merritt a communication setting forth bis judgment on the subject and that the general submitted this to the commission with reports from the Ameri- can military officers at Manila, touching on the condition prevailing in the islands.

General Merr itt concluded with a declaration of his judgment in the matter, and it may be said that he arrived in Paris, hoping the United States commission would press* for the possession of the Philippine arohijoelago.

It 1b also true that the disposition of the troops in the Philippine islands, he fore General Merritt’s departure was such and was so ordered as to warrant the view that a large wr complete holding of the Philippine islands by the United States was contamp lated.

pitals were crowded, though he did not think such had been the case at any other time. Practioally ail the sickness was among the volunteers. The regulars were not sick. Asked if each regiment had a sutler, Ueu Boynton replied that they had something worse than a sutler, each one had a canteen.

lie said that 373 carloads of beer had been sold in the camp. Capt. Howell asked about whiskey sales, and Gen. Boynton replied that it had bien difficult to entirely cut out the sharp moonshiners from Capt. Howell’s state. Chattanooga was a splendid town,but the saloons were open day and night.

Gon. Brooke’s orders allowed two men ot each oompany to visit Chattanooga per day. which would represent the absence of about 1200 men. He deprecated the fact that army regulations permitted the canteen system. Ha said he had never seen such efficiency in the supply departments of the army field as in the oase of Camp Thomas. Sufficient medioines were sent to Atlanta from Camp.Thomas to supply 50 regiments for a campaigu. There was no lack of rations and the rations were all good. The variety was

equal to that supplied by a family grocery. “N’o army was ever so well supplied

with food, and if the men did not know how to cook it, oertainly Secretary Alger nor President McKinley nor any one in Washington can be held responsible,” said the general.

Gen. Boynton commended the Young Men’s Christian Association tents, which he said, were the best things in the service. He condemned the outside drinking houses where, he said, slop was sold that was' worse than whiskey. He as-

sorted that there was no lack of transportation, especially in ooming in.

Most of the complaints, he said, from typhoid fever patients, who were kept on

low rations as a medical precaution. There was never any shortage of rations. Gen. Boynton said he had found some

garbage recepracles left by the First Illi- nois cavalry the day after It broke camp, which were full of vermin. The regiment, however, was a good one, and he did not desire to cast any reflection upon it.

At 4 p m„ the commission adjourned for the day. Gen.Boynton will continue his testimony tomorrow.

“IeTeaimd m To Separate the Gold From

This Time It Is the I’eiicin 1 Prop- erties of a W. II Known Remedy

Tl at Are Obtained In

From Now On It Will Not Be Necessary to Take the Obnoxious Parts of a

Well Known aud Valuable Med-

icine iu Order To Be Bene-

fited.

Physicians the world over have known

of and believed in the virtues of cod liver

oil. They have, alas, also realized its

drawbaoks and the impossibility of ad-

ministering it where it would do good. Doctors have seen hundreds of people die

of consumption and other wasting dis-

eases. whom they knew might have been

saved had they only been able to take

enough cod liver oil to obtain from it a

sufficient amount of the medicinal prin-

ciples which It contained. It is not neoessary to go to dootors to

know why cod liver oil has not been a

popular remedy, or to realize how few

people ore able to take enough of it to do them any good. The many who have

needed and attempted to take this nau-

seating remedy, if they are still in a po- sltion where they need cod liver oil, are

the ones who should throw their hats in the air and snout tneir joy irum me

housetop at the news which comes to ns

of Vinol. These are the peopie who will never

forget the name of this new remedy, nor

will they ever oease to thank Mr. Jas. D.

Dolan, our prominent druggist, who has

become famous in the past few days, on

account of his connection with the New York firm who are introduoing this same

remedy. ,.

How simple it all sounds, now that we

know of it. Here Mr. Dolan has, right in his store, a preparation that looks like and tastes like delicious wine. It is a delicious wine, only there has been added to it this extract of the cod’s liver, this pe- culiar special extract of the curative principles, the means of obtaining which is the only discovery about Vinol. We do not believe there is an invalid in this city suffering from throat, lung or bron- chial troubles, or in fact any wasting disease, but has already interested himself in this preparation. Mr. Dolan is kept busy explaining its merits, and telling his many friends how it is now possible to take all that is necessary of cod liver oil or Vinol. its concentrated active medicinal principles, to overcome disease. It has not been a difficult matter for him to explain, as he has done, the absolute uselessness of the grease itself and to

demonstrate the great value of the medicinal properties of the liver of the cod. It has not been necessary for him to tell sufferers from such troubles that fat docs not make fat, but simply upsets and dis- arranges the stomach.

There are many people right here in our city who know from but a few days' exDerienoe how much benefit they are de- riving from this preparation, and who have already learned that the medicinal properties of Vinol act in a most wonderful manner in oheoking the symptoms of disease, while at the same time enabling the stomach to assimilate and digest from palatable, every-day food the neces-

sary nourishment to renew tissue de- pleted by disease.

Mr. Dolan is justly pleased at the success that will attend the connection he has made with the prominent New York firm who are putting up this preparation, and justly deserves all the fame and profit that will attach themselves tn his name, on aocount of bis enterprise in first introducing Vinol to our oity.

For the convenience of the public further down town, Mr. Dolan has established a branch Vinol agency at D. W. Hesel- tlne & Co. ’s, Congress, corner Myrtle streets.

The rear of the auditorium has been

enlarged so that there twill be an Addi- tional seating capacity of about one hun-

dred seats. The seating capacity of the churoh will be about 600. Instead of

pews comfortable opera chairs will be

LITTLE RIGBY FAIR.

Little Rigby Park, Casoo. Oct. 4.—The annual fair of the Little Rigby association opened today with a fair attendance for a first-day. The heatjgwasôppressive in the forenoon bun was cooled somewhat

byjshowers tonight. The exhibit in the hall was small but

made up in quality what it lacked in

quantity. There were some very fine

vegetables. H. M. Cash, Raymond, had some splendid yellow corn, sweet corn, six varieties beans, six varieties apples, two of tomatoes. George H. Hanscom, Casco, snap corn, fourteen varieties apples, i beans, ; grapes, eight varieties

potatoes. Hezekiah Jordan and Fred C.

Lombard, Casco, also had exhibits. Casoo

Creamery exhibited a specimen of butter. The cattle department was very fine

Charles Cole, a prosperous Raymond farmer, had four yoke oxen, three yoke 3-year olds, one yoke yearlings. W. F.

Cook, Casoo, one yoke oxen one yoke 3 year-olds, one yoke yearlings.

Joshua C. Cook, Casco, one 3 -year-old heifer, one 3-year-old heifer, grade Jersey, and one 3-year old grade Durhm. Calvin K. Mains, Raymond one Jersey heifer. C. F. Symmonds, Raymond, good grade Durham bull, seven months old. Haokei Hull, Casoo, one cow. Myron Hall, Casoo, one grade Jersey heifer. Alpheus Gould, Casoo, one grade Jersey yearling. W. IV. Hamlin, two heifers, one grade Jersey cow. Tho swine exhibit was also full.

The Midway has the usual attractions— the Punch and Judy show, the Fortune Teller, etc., all of which ; t> well patron- ized.

There was a running race for local horses not on the programme, that afford- ed considerable amusement for the spectators. The purse was $10, the summary being:

John—(Kobineon) 2 2 Time 2.48 8-4. 2.50 —Mile heats.

The ox-pulling was good and was

divided into two classes. For the cattle under.7 feet, the drag was loaded with 4186 pounds of granite. Charles Cole’s cattle, 6ft. 7in. hauled the load 29 ft. Sin. Webster F. Chutes’, fift. 10 in, hau ed it 75 feet. In the seoond contest for heavy cattle the drag was loaded with 0563 pounds. William B. Plummer’s cattle hauled it 33 ft. 6 in. Charles Cole’s, 31 ft. 9in.

The much advertised ball game between the Saecarappas and Lewiston Volunteers was a disappointment |beca.ise it was so one-sided.

GRAND TRUNK REPORT.

The Grand Trunk Railway rtport was

issued Tuesday afternoon and has created a good impression. The net revenue !ro n

receipts for the half year ending with

June are £730,672, compared with £654, 395 a year ago. Tho surplus is thus £106

651, an improvement of £103,943, as com-

pared with Jast year. The full dividend

will he paid on the four per cent guaranteed, leaving a balance of £2,271.

In the closing paragraph the directors

record the failure of the nagoti ations to

compose the diSerenofS with the Cana-

dian Paoific Co., though the hope is now

general that the rate war having ended, local passenger rates, which were reduced

by the Canadian Pnciflo, will now be

restored.

GRAND TRUNK NOTES.

A new arrangement has been mado, whereby the conductors on the four

through rains from Portland to Montreal

over the Grand Trunk railroad will take

their trains straight through, instead of

being relieved at Island Pond, as former-

ly; Although the run Is a long odo it is

understood that this regulation is re-

garded with favor by the conductors, as

it gives them a 24 hours' lay over between

trips. Superintendent J. M. Herbert of the

Grand Trank railway arrived here this

morning in his speoial car. He will

probably return to Montreal tonight. A special oar bearing the name “Cen-

tral Mexicano” is at the Grand Trunk

yard. This car has come 6000 miles to

meet President Robinson of the Central

Mexioan road, who is expected to arrive

here from Poston tonight.

The Hon. George Fred Williams ap-

pears to have dictated all that the Massa- chnsets Democrats did or did not do. Mr. Williams has led the party to inglorious defeat for several years past yet it goes right on trusting him.

No doubt Gen. Garcia can induce the Cuban insurgents to disband and engage in the arts of peace if anybody can, and

$500 a month is not an excessive price to

pay for his services in that direction. If

Cuban guerillas continue to roam about

the island it will be practically impossible to pacify it or get it into; condition to govern itself.

Gen. Merritt says the climate of Manila is admirable. We should like to hear

what the privates think of it. Gen. Mer- ritt’s advantages for keeping oool and comfortable havo been very much

superior probably to those of his

men, and under those circumstances it is possible that a climate that appeared to him a&pHrable might strike the average private soldier as

abominable.

The joint commission has been listen-

ing to protests from the Dominion manu-

factures against any reduction of duties on their goods. With our farmers and lumbermen demanding the retention of our tariff on their products, and the Canadian manufacturers equally strenu- ous for the retention of their tariff on

their products the chances for any recip- rocal arrangement would see m to be very small, notwithstanding the optimistic views indulged in by the advooates of such an arrangement.

Chaplain McIntyre seeks to extenuate the offence with which he is charged by saying that he had bsen ill when he made the speech in which he slandered Capt. Evans and Admiral Sampson and had taken medicine which so clouded uid uia*u vuuv no uiuu o nnun nuuu no

was saying. We are inclined to think that his claim that he didn’t know what he was saying is well founded, but there is room for suspicion that the medicine he took was not prescribed by any physician.

I^The New York Court of Appeals has

just decided that George J. Gould mnst pay the inheritance tax on the 15,000,000 left him by his father, payment of whioh he resisted on the ground that this money was not a legacy, but a salary for his servloes to his father during ten years. The state contended that this claim of Gould’s was preposterous and was really Bet up as a subterfuge to escape the inheritance tax; and the Court of Appeals seems to take that view of it.

The threat which is reported to have been made by the Spanish government that they would risk a removal of hostilities rather than surrender the Philippines is undoubtedly pure “bluff.” Spain is not in a position to make any effective resistance to us in any quarter, while if hostilities were renewed we might inflict upon her great damage and compel her eventually to surrender more of her colo- nies as the price of peace. There are

plenty of reasons why we should not desire the Philippines and not insist upon taking more than a coaling station in them, bnt fear of a renewal of hostilities need not be one of them.

President McKinley’s administration sent abroad a commission composed of free silverites to try and prevail upon European nations ito join the United States in a confrence looking to a larger use of silver. The commission failed. And now the'administration which made this concession to the silverites is de- nounced by the Massachusetts Democratic convention because of it and aocused of

taking measures which resulted in thwarting and bringing to naught every effort of that commission and in makiDg its success impossible. It is evident that

trying to do something for silver does not

pay._ The fundamental difficulty in arrang-

ing a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada, lies in the

similarity of their products. Each coun-

try wants its home market for the things it produces, and as these things are most-

ly the same, one cannot open its market

to tha products of the other without

in part surrendering its home mar-

ket. If agricultural produots or lumber are admittedlfree of duty to this coun-

try the Canadian farmer or lumberman

who, by reason of bis cheaper labor, can

raise his produce and prepare his lumber more cheaply than the American farmer or lumberman, becomes a formidable rival to the latter in their own market, On the other hand if manufactured articles are admitted to Canada free from this oountry,the American manufacturer, who by reason of his more extensive business and greater facilities, can produce his wares more cheaply that the Canadian manufacturer becomes a dangerous rival

to the latter in his own market. Hence

there is a strong and compact opposition in both countries to any extensive recipro- cal arrangement.

GEN. WHEELER’S TESTIMONY.

Gen. Wheeler’s testimony before the Commission investigating the conduct of the war, taken as a whole, is exceeding- ly favorablo to the management at San-

tiago and at Camp Wikoff. Yet it is perfectly easy to pick out sentences whioh contain criticisms and complaints, and

by parading them detached from their surroundings it might be easily made to

appear that Gen. Wheeler's statement instead of one of approval, ns was the fact, was one of condemnation. Indeed we

find this very plan made use of by one of our exchanges, which is bent on dis- crediting the management of the army for political purposes. His criticisms are

paraded by this journal in blaok head

lines, while any reference to his commen-

dations is omitted. Persons who

get their idea of the nature of articles in newspapers' from the headlines— and there are many such—would be de ceived by this exchange into believing that Gen. Wheeler’s testimony had been

strongly condemnatory. There can be no doubt thatmuoh of the

Impression of bad management of the

army camps and campaigns has been the

result of generalizing from particular in-

stances of suffering or neglect. Some case of neglect or of brutality has been

reported, and the reader has jumped to

the conclusion that it was a fair sample of the treatment the soldiers had been re-

ceiving, when as matter of fact it was an

isolated and exceptional case. Of course

the sensationalist writing from the camps always picked out these exceptional cases

to dilate upon. To narrate a hundred cases of good treatment and contentment would attract no attention whatever. But one case of mal-treatment would be

generally read and talked about, and so

the one case was paraded, while the hundred were passed by without remark. No one will claim that the management of

the camps was perfect, hirrors were com-

mitted, and there may have been instances of criminal neglect. But w hen the facts are all known it will probably appear that the public has got a much

exaggerated idea of the shortcomings and deficiencies, conse quent, as we have

said, upon the parading of isolated cases

of neglect and brutality and hasty gener- alization from them.

MAGAZINE NOTICES.

For tbe story of the siege of Santiago de

Cuba, as it affected tbe people directly involved, on either side, in their personal safety and oomfort and their dally lives, there is no document yet published equal to the October number of McClure's Mag- azine. Mr. Stephen Bonsai, in an article entitled The Fight for Santiago, de- scribes the campaign as it affected tbe A merican soldier, writing from his own observation and experience; while for the experiences of tne pan o-strioken and half-stnrving people shut up in the city of Santiago we have a very remarkable diary kept by tbe British Consul at San- tiago, who was all the time in the closest relations with the Spanish authorities, and was expending—as it later proved— his very life in relieving the general suffering. Mr. Bonsai’s article is very fully illustrated—partly from photographs taken in the field by himself, and partly from drawings by W. J. Clacekens, the special artist for McClure"s with tbe army of invSsion.

It is a rattling tale of the Civil War, and the heroine and hero (especially the heroine) pass through some surprising adventures. Other stories are Tish’s Tri- umph, and Grandma’s Diamonds. The latter Is by R. L. Olbar.

The aritcle in the October Scribner’s on the Battle of San Juan, by Riohard

Harding Davis, is not only a vivid des-

cription of that famous victory, but a

complete and careful analysis of tbe con-

duct of tbe whole Santiago campaign. Captain Arthur H. Lee, of tbe Royal Artillery, the British Military Attache, who accompanied our troops to Cuba, writes of The Regulars at El Caney. This article, coming from the rc-presenta-

i

tive of a friendly'nation and having the authority of a trained soldier, will have a

special interest and value for Amerioan readers. One of the few correspondents present on The Day of The Surrender at

Santiago was J. F. J. Archibald, and his account of the scenes in the trenches when the truoe was announced and the memorable and dramatic raising of the Stars and Stripes over the palaoe, gives a

realizing impression of both the glory and pathos of war.

THE INVALIDS HOME.

Encouraging Report by the Secretary,

Mrs. West.

IT The annual meeting of the Invalids’ Home was held in Deerlng at the Home

yesterday afternoon. Another year of successful work has

been accomplished and the Home now

stands free from debt with a small sum

in the bank toward supporting a free bed. The following encouraging report was

given by the secretary, Mrs. George Fletcher West: The Invalids’ Home started on its fourth year with bright prospeots, the house paid for and fur-

nished, and a cash balance in the treas-

ury. We have held ten m actings during the

year, on the third Wednesday of each month in the winter at the house of the

president, and in the spring and summer

at the Home. Our December and August meetings were adjourned, there not being a quorum.

Our first meeting'at the Home for the

year, was held in May. How bright and cheerful everything looked. The windows were filled with blossoming plants, and indoors and out all things were pleasant and homelike.

Our matron, Miss Gage, has most ad- mirably and eoonomioally superintended nil matters at the Home, and taken a

pyrouimi luiorvsu ttuu iuuttca mi/ot me

comforts or eaoh patient Last fall we foand tho rooms in the

third story were not sufficiently heated, hence a committee was appointed to at- tond to this, and new radiators, were put in eaoh room. Now every room in the house has steam heat.

In December a play, “The House Par-

ty," was given in Kotzsohmar hall three

nights, by Mr. and Mrs. Robert T. Whitehouse'and others, for the Home. This netted our treasury $301.27. This sum has been set aside to start a fnnd for a free bed for deserving women who could not otherwise come into the home. We have had several occasions to use this free! bed.

The coming year we hope f to add a round sum to this fund, that the charitable work of the 'free bed may be continued. The Home has been well filled all the year, and at times all the rooms were

occupied. * Many patients after having the care and needed rest, have gone back to their positions and wtrk, well in body, and thankful in heart. The visiting committee have been constant and faithful in their weekly visits to the Home, rnd the

patients have appreciated the friendly chats and pleasant calls from them.

The contributions for the year have been most generous, Including many luxuries for the table, fruit, flowers, eto. Among the visible donations, none bave been more appreciated than the Morris ohair for the parlor, and the swinging ohair for the lawn. Both are great additions.

At Thanksgiving the dinner was

donated as usual, by a lady friend and her neighbors, and the Christmas dinner furnished as in previous years by the managers. 9 Now that this home is so well established, and one of the important charities of Portland and Deering, let us not feel it no longer needs our financial and personal help, but renew our efforts, for with increasing demands, more money is necessary.

“We shall pass through this world but onoo. If there be any kindness we oan show, or any good thing we oan do to any fellow being, let us do it now. Let us not defer nor neglect it, for we shall not pass this way again."

The executive board, which consists of Mrs. George C. Frye, president, Mrs. Henry L. Taylor, first vice president, Miss Ernestine Leavitt, seoond vice president, Mrs. George Fletoher West, secre-

tary and Mrs. W. J. Knowlton,treasurer, was re-elected.

MUSIC AND DRAW™

VIRUINIUS. It is a pleasure to turn from the tinsel

and glitter, the gorgeousness of raiment, the witless, dialogue, and the tinkling melodies, and oaperings of the modern spectacular extravaganza and f irce come-

dy to the graouful dress, the noble senti- ments the pure English, and the powerful acting that pertain to the standard drama of Vlrginius, the drama that has endured und will endure when the productions that now till theatres are forgotten.

The audience that witnessed Mr. James O’Neill’s powerful presentation of the

Roman centurion at the Jefferson last

evoning was light in numbers, but thor-

oughly in touch with actor and ooinpaiy and very enthusiastic. It is two years since Mr. O’Neill appeared in the charact-

er in Portland, and all the praise wo be-

stowed upon him then we feel called upon to emphasize now. The role is one that

ail the great actors of the day since Knowles wrote the tragedy, hnve delighted to assume. Many of them have been seen

In it in Portland. Forrest, Davenport, McCulloch, and Louis James are among those that we reoall besides Mr. O’Neill in the part. How dignified Mr. O’Neill

was in the character last night. How

clear and distinct the elocution. How

well set off was his tine figure by the

graceful Roman dress. What a wealth of

love was displayed in the.first act for V ir-

ginia and Icilius. How grand his burst

of passion in the second act when Lucius

tells him of Claudius’ claim on Virginia. How touching the mad scene where he

sacrifices his daughter to save her from

Appius. The audience appreciated the

well rounded performance fully, and at

the end of the second acf specially called

him twice before the curtain. Mr. O’Neill was very fairly supported

Miss Miunie Radcliffe was a gentle, shrinking graceful Virginia. Mr. Fred-

J-lnptlnff a otpnncf forCflflll IcillUS!

Mr. Mark Ellsworth a most capable Dentnlus; Mr. Edmund L. Breese was

effective Appius; Mr. Winn Dixon a good Nunatorus and Mr. T. G. Linghan an

acceptable Gaius Claudius. Miss Rate

Fletcher was a very good Servia.. Mr.

Breese received a call at the close of the

first act for his strong scene just before the curtain fell.

Tonight Mr. O’Neill will present his

new play “When Greek Meets Greek,” founded upon the events of the French

Revolution, in which Mr. O’Neill as-

sumes the character of Henri Lavelle, Count Fournier. The play is most at-

tractively staged and costumed according to the Baris of the trumvirate and is pronounced by the press extremely interest-

ing. THE GEISHA.

Though the season is very young, yet it is safe to say that one of the great at-

tractions of this fall, so far as comic

opera is concerned, will be the production at the Jefferson theatre on Friday night and Saturday matinee and evening of the Japanese musical play, “The Gei-

sha,” from Daly’s Theatre, New York. Mr. Daly himself is authority for the statement that the Gaisha was one of his most successful productions, and that its success at his London House was only duplicated by its success at his Broadway theatre. The production is complete in

every way, and the organization carries its own orchestra, hence the unplaasant features of an orchestra unfaraliinr with the music, is entirely done away with, and both singers and orobestra will be in perfect harmonny. The young ladies in the cast are said to be young, with

very pleasing voices. Tickets are selling rapidly.

THE STAR COURSE.

Tickets for reserved seats for the Star Course can be obtained at M. Steinert & Sons. Speaking of Miss Sybil Sammis, the vocalist, who will appear at the opening concert, with Brooke's band, Friday, October 14, opening the course, an Ex- change fays: “Miss Sibyl Sammis. the beautiful and chnrmingly gifted (Chicago girl, is the vocal soloist again this season, w hich adds greatly the attraction of the entertainment. Few singers before the public take such ready hold of popular favor as this jouug cantatrice of girl- iso grace, rare vocal gifts and high artis- tic development. Her triumphs have scarcely been second to thorn: of the band, end everywhere she is received with the sincerest cordiality. Her voice is a pure elear and brilliant mezzo-soprano.”

He knows, His patron knows, and everybody knows that this can contains the purest, best, and most delicious Coffee that expert buyers can

procure. It’s

Chase & Sanborn’s

Seal Brand Coffee, that’s the reason.

THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL. The Bangor Commercial, commenting

on the arrival of Gadski in that city to

sing at the great musical festival, says: “She will sing at tho grand event of

Thi rs lay night, when the eyes of all the musicians of America will he turnad in- quiringly toward Bangor to see what success there is for the opening of the Maine Festival of 1898.

For it is this season that is the test of endurance for the festival plan. The first festival weDt off with a blaze of glory that was almost hysterical. Everything was a suo ess. The audiences were im-

mense and the music was good. What more did anyone want? 2 Now comes tho second festival, witn

bigger artists and programmes fully twice

as interesting, and this is to be the gauge of our ability to support the greatest fes-

itvul—and this is the Commercial s beliel

of America. Bangor will not be unequal to the task, and will take her place where she belongs, amongst the leaders, as a

center of cultivation. Gadski—a wonderful woman, with a

more wonderful voice, will sing at every

performance of the festival."

Gadski will also sing in Portland at

every concert next week. We wish to

aguin advise our readers that if they do

not get their tickets at Cressey, Jones

Allen’s now they will not be able at the

last moment to secure any, for not only Portland people, but people throughout the whole western part of the State, are

interested in the affair.

THE RYAN CONCERT.

£A musical treat is in store for lovers of

stringed instrument music, when the an-

nual testimonial concert to W. J. Ryan takes place in the new Y. M. C. A. hall, Oct. 17. As a special feature of the con-

cert Mr. Ryan has secured the Imperial Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Quartette of

Boston. This famous musical club has

appeared before audiences in all the large cities of the country, and in every place have received highly complimentary press notices. Tho Atchison |Uaily Champion in their account of the conoert in that

city says: 1UU tUUWill UUO

was very line. The instrumental music

was of a high grade, so perfectly rendered

that but little choice could be made be"

tween the selections.”

“A GREAT ATTRACTION COMING” HEADED BY THE FAVORITE KATHARINE ROBER.

Supported by an exceptional strong company of artists, Katharine Rober will

open the Portland Theatre the week of

Oct. 1" in an entire new production of

great New York successes,. The event is one that has been looked forward to by our many theatre-goers and admirers of Miss Rober, and no doubt will be greeted by a packed house, as this great attraction

certainly deserves, as it has the endorse-

ment of the entire press of the oountry. The plays are full of sensational situa-

tion's, startling climaxes, as well as full

of up-to-date specialties, and prices will

be popular—10, 20, 30 cents.

A STRANGER IN NEW YORK.

Harry Connor has proved an ideal

comedian in “A Stranger in New York,” even surpassing the record -which he made

for himself In ”A Tiipjto ^Chinatown,” in this country and in Australia. His

new specialities will be found to be up-to- date and funny from, the word go. Anna

Boyd, well remembered for her work as

the widow in “A Trip, to ^Chinatown,” Florence Lillian Wickes, the Chicago so-

ciety beiuty. who went on’the stage and made a sensation as an actress, Harry Gilfoil, George A. Beane, Arthur Pacie and all the other original favorites will be seen in their best characters. Every- thing in the way of scenery and costum-

ing will be found to be new, and specially prepared for this season. Seats are now

on sale, and judging from the call during the past week the engagement will bo the most successful that any Hoyt comedy has ever had in this city. This company will appear here at the Jefferson theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday.

CHAMBER MUSIC. The Chamber Music Trio, which was

organized last spring, has resumed its

r«g ular rehearsals. Mr. Given succeeds Mr. Cousens as violinist, but the other two members, Mr. Jones violoncellist, and Mr. True, pianist, are the same as

last season. It is planned to give three public recitals this saason, introducing several works new to the Portland public. The dates have not yet been arranged.

OBITUARY.

CHARLES STAPLES, JR.

Mr. Charles Staples, Jr., died at his residence in this city, Tuesday, after a

long illness, at the age of 77 years. Mr.

Staples’s father was a machinist and boiler maker by trade, and lor years was

the head of the great foundry and ma-

chine shop at the foot of Centre and Com- mercial streets, which were destroyed in the conflagration of 18GC. The business was conducted ny staples cc isarroi, ana

iir, Charles Staples, Jr., learned his trade

there, and was afterwards a member of the concern. A very large business was

transacted, and there were demands for the company’s work from all parts of the

country. After the re-establishment of the plant it was sold to a corporation of which Mr. William H. Fessenden, a son

of the late Senator Fessenden, was the head, and its name changed to the Port- land Machine Works. The company went out of business over a decade ago.

When the California gold fever broke out, Mr, Staples was one of the Port- land men who sailed from Long island in the brig Hath for the Pacific coast, the party including Mr. George A. Thomas, the late Daniel Fessenden, Lewis Fox, Alighel Hutting, Ebon True and others. After a sojourn in California Mr. Staples returned and went into the foundry and machine shop again. After the great fire, Mr. Stup’os was appointed a United States inspector of boilers for the West-

ern district of Maine, and held the position until a year ago, when he retired on account of ill health. “He was also an

agent for a Boston house, furnishing boiler makers’ supplies, and was one of

the large creditors of the Quinn company. Mr. Stnples marriod Miss Fernald. a

sister of the late Dr. Sumner Fernald.

She died some years ago. Ho left two

daughters, one of whom married Mr.

Brackett of Boston, and the other, Mari-

on, resided %vith her father. Mr. Staples was a very bright, active

man, thorough in his business, highly respected by all business men, and a

conscientious officer. He was a member of the Mecha*%;s’ Association,

Swett in a new illustrated lecture; conoert by Miss Susan Walker, reader, and a male quartette; and lastly a grand concert by the Bates College Glee Club. The high character of the entertainments and the low price of tickets should give a large attendance, not only of Deering, but of Portland people.

The Ladies.Circle of the Congregational church. Spring street, are to hold their first meeting and supper in their chapel this evening. This will be the only pic- nic supper for the season, and those who attend are requested to bring some article of food. A musical entertainment will be given during the evoning.

Miss Bailey, although by no means a

rugged looking girl has for the past two

years that she has attended the school

ELECTRIC CAR SMASHED.

About 9.30 o’clook yesterday morning one of the North Deering electrio cars, running Morrills corner toward

Portland, came into collision with a freight train at tho Stevens Plains avenue crossing at Morrills. A freight train of the Maine Central railroad was

halted Id the freight yard, the engine and forward cars standing over the electrio car track. The gates were down and

quite a distance back Motorman Blake shut off the current and applied the l>ralru Tho mile worn wot AUtl thfi traokfi

impossible to stop the car. Motorman

Blake, however, hung to his car re-

solved to hold it back if possible. It could not bo done and the car smashed into the

engine. The hood of the electrio car was

quite badly smashed as wns the fender of

the car. No pasRenger was injured. Motorman Blake was struck on

the wrist by the overhanging sign on his

car which fell when the collision came.

Mr. Blake’s wrist is quite lame as a

result of the falling sign. Tho car was

taken to Portland for repairs and will

probably he in running order in a day or

so. Mr. and Mrs S. H. Elder of Morrills

and Mrs. Abbie J. Elder of Windham

are contemplating a trip through the

country on their wheels. They intend to

visit Polnnd Springs on their journey. Conductor W. P. Knight of the North

of quite a number of young Portland fellows to go to East Deering and while there 10 do about:as they pleasod. Tues- day evening occurred a lively fracas. Ir seems that Andrew Ward, Charles Palmer and h'red Twitchell of Portland were

picking on a young man named Harry Horton who resides with Mr. Harry Raup at East Deering. The boys were making things disagreeable for the young man

when Mr. Raup proceeded to take his part. Iu doing so the hoys undertook to

give Mr. Raup a thrashing, but found

The faithful wife. The fond mother. The hope and inspiration of the human

may applaud groat artists and actresses.

We may admire fighting amazons. But it is the home-makers whom we love.

Wre spare nothing to make the wife and mother happy. We cannot, however, shield her from anxiety, and most of us

are unable to relieve her of the burdens of domestic drudgery. In fact, the aver-

age woman insists upon personally carrying the cares of the household oven if others do the hardest manual work. It is incessant work and worry that make so many homebodies thin and pale, tired, nervous, irritable and despondent.

The Guardian Angel of the household is Dr.Greene’s Nervura for the blood and nerves The nervous headaches to which the housewife is subject; the exhaustion which no amount of rest will overcome: the melancholy which love and plent- eousuess cannot remove—all these things vanish under the magic influence of Dr. Greece’s Nervura.

CUBAN PLACE NAMES.

Double Names Adopted for Many Tillages —A Balance Between Saintly and Abor-

iglnal Suggestions.

(J. E. C. in New York Evening Post.) In Cuba there are no Smlthvilles,

Jones’s Junctions,no Robinson’s Ferries. Rut every locality there has a name; a

great many insigniticant places, with no

more than a ranch house to mark them oil from the forest, havo actually two names—one in the mouth of the people who live thereabout or who travel that

way; the other on the old Spanish maps or in official reports.

When our army landed in Cuba it found that the villages and localities hnd an embarrassment of names. Daiquiri was also called L03 Altaros, and Siboney waB sometimes Jnragau,and Firmeza was

also known as Juraguacito. We heard of the next place in advance of us, after

Siboney was passed, as Sevilla, and it was down on the ridiculous maps as a

considerable town; but we found no town there at all, and before we reached it we

—and the Rough Riders—found an old ruined lngenio, or sugar mill, called Las Guasimus, whiuh is tho plural for guasima, a branching Cuban tree that looks lise a butternut. The next placa was El Pozo, but no one was able to ascertain whore El Pozo began or left off. A Cu- ban gentleman informed me that it was the name of an old potrero, or cattle ranch, the remaining buildings of which our soldiers passed before they came to the equally indefinite neighborhood called San Juan. The spot where General Shaf- ter had his headquarters was locally known to the CubanB as Los Mangos, but it was never oallea by that name in the official reports, which General Shafter dated from “headquarters, near the San Juan river.” All these locality names

were of indefinite application. I found that the block houses immediately to the eastward ot Santiago bore these names

officially: San Juan, Canoza, Caney, Pozo, San Miguel da Lajos, Marianaje, Solano Ingenio, and Concha.

In the United States a curious uncer-

tainty applied to the spelling of the name of th3 place in Cuba where our array landed. It was really Daiquiri, and the spelling "Baiquiri” was evidently the result of an error on an American map, which other maps repeated, though I have wondered whether the name of this small place might not perpetuate in a corrupted form the ancient Indian name for the whole section about Santiago, which was Bayaquitiri. I have now several printed spellings of the name cf this village in the documents of the Spanish- Amerioan Iron oompany, whose headquarters it was, and in Santiago papers, and in every case it is “Daiquiri,” with the accent mark on the final i; in faoc, no one in Cuba, while we were then, ever thought of calling it anything else. Siboney has some :1110s been spelled “Se- bone’—I do no; on what authority. It is pronou:. ;ding to the first spelling, Sea-. .-.ith the accent on the last syllabi'.. ...u name Juragua and Juraguacito, chough they were on the map, were not used at all in Cuba, and no one could be sure where the plaoes sup- posed to bear those names were.

The “£1 Caney” of ihe official reports was simply Caney to the people iof th ■

town and the country roundabout. This name Caney, by the way, has a sinister and, for us, a prophetic meaning It is an Indian word, signifying “the grave.” Many caneye or heaps of aboriginal human remains, are found in Cuba by archaeologists. An ancient burial pi::00, and after that for centuries an agreeable suburb of Santiago, this Caney has become the place of seppulture of many brave American and Spanish soldiers. The Spaniards, indeed who fell on the 1st of July were buried where they fell, in the town itself; our men were inter-, red on a grassy hilltop about a quarter of a mile away.

IVe were somewhat surprised to find that, in the mouths of the poor refugees and pacificos from Santiago, our name for that city was practically non-existent. To them the anoient town, which was the soil of our exDSdition. was simnlv Cuba, or, ns they pronounced it, ns it their tongues lingered lovingly on the vowels, “Coo-bah.” Santiago de Cuab, taken altogether, was necessary as an oflioial designation because there was a Santiago in every other Epanish colony, and several Santlagos in Spain itself At least half-a-dozen there were in Mex- ico and at least one in Chile and one in Santo Domingo, and so on. But some- how the people of the Cuban Santiago got the idea that, us it was proposed to call the whole Island Santiago, thoir town had in an especial way the right to the name of “Cuba,” too—as if the island had this name from the town, At any rate, at some indefinite past time, the city became “Cuba” to them, and so it still remains. When the American soldiers, who had been taught to say in Span- ish, “Where do you come from?” put this question to the refugee* from Santiago, and they answered “C ba,” the soldiers thought the people were “guying” them, and made no courteous rejoinder. This was one of a great many misunderstand- ings that arose between tbo American soldiers and the Cubans and refugees.

The name Santiago de Cuba has in it a

good deal of the history of Cuban place names. As a matter of fact, the Span iards who first landed in Cuba were as

poor in invention as the Puritans of New England. To a considerable extent, but without any thought that, they were doing anything meritorious, they borrowed Indian names where they served. Cuba itself, like Massachusetts, the name bo- longed originally to a small region, which the conquerors, ignorantly or carelessly extended to a wider one. Where the In* dian names wore not readily at band their place was supplied by names brought bodily from the old country, or by the nams of saints or religious festi-

vals; for these Spanish settlers had one unfailing resource for names which the Puritans could not avail themselves of— the oalendar of the Church of Rome. The trouble was that nearly all the saints’ names had already been used in Spain, so that they but repeated in the new world a

place name of old Spain when they be- stowed a saint's name in Cuba. Santiago —Saint James—as the patron saint of Spain, naturally left a trail of churches and towns ofh is name all over Spanish America, so that "Santiago” alone now means nothing at all. We must pay San- tiago de Cuba, Santiago de Chile, Santi- ago de Peru, Santiago de los Caballeros (Santo Domingo), Santiago de Campos- cela, Santiago de Guatemala, and so on. There are even two other Santiago^ in Cuab—Santiago de las Vegas and Santi- ago de Santa Clara.

John was scarcely behind James in pop- ularity as a sail t in Spain; therefore, San Juan is found on every Spanish col-

onial and provincial map. There are at

least two San Juans In Cuba and one in

Porto Rico. There are also at least three San Joses in Cuba, oounting the one in the Isles of Pines, which is poltically a

part uf Cuba. Saints’ names run all through the alphabet, from Augustin to Ygnaclo. Other names derived from the church are common—such as Trinidad, Las Cruces, El Paso de la Virgen, El Paso Real de San Diego (these two in testimony to the discovery of footprints of the Virgin and of the saint,) La Concep- cion, Saiuto Espiritu. and so forth. For a country which is not now to be classed as specially religious, Cuba is in possession of a great number of place names which tell a tale of earlisr piety.

For the little places, the Cubans have found vei’y simple names, derived from the naturul features of the land—quite sufficient—names like Los Mangos, Las Guusiraas, Las Piedras, La JCeiba, Nar- anjo, Llmones, and the like. The trouble is that mango, guasima, cieba, or-

ange, and lemon trees, as well as rocks, hills, and hollows abound everywhere, and a descriptive name may be repeated live miles further on. In one respect the Cubans are not troubled on aooount oi the multiplication of names.; they have extremely few post offices, so that theix mail is not likly to go astray, as our letters wander from Burlington, N. C, to

Burlington, N. D., and soon around tc

Burlington, £N. Y., by way of .Burling- ton, N. J. They have helped out their nomenclature by a few names represent- ing abstract qualities, such as Union, Es- peranza (hope), and the Ilka, but to nc

such extent as we have done. They have n. Tiip«.«inrr nmnhw nf snnh fannifnl annel- lacions as Monte Osouro (dnrk mountain) and Ojo de Toro (bull’s eye). They have also imported a few names whioh will go with our Paris,Pekin,Calcutta, and Jeru- salem. They have an Austrialia and a

Palestine. But, save in one instanoe, I know of no such poverty stricken expdient as is represented in our North, Mouth, East, and West Jeriohos. In Pinar del Kio there is a Consolation del ‘Norte and a Consolation del Mur—that is to say, North Consolation and Moutli Consolu- tion. Holdedad is a favorite place-name with them. Perhaps after the Yankees have resettled Cuba, we shall have North Molitude, East Molitude, Mouth Solitude,

and West Molitude, as well as Solitude Corners, Solitude Flats, and Solltiude Mills. I said at the beginning that there were no Cuban Smithvilles; but they do have cities named as frankly for men as are Parsons, Kan., or Joaes, Mich. Cien- fuegos is one of these; this was the name ot a governor. The Cuban i revolutionists are already promising to rename cities after Maximo Gomez and Antonio Maceo as the Mexicans have rechristened town Juarez and Porflrio Diaz.

Some of tho names of Cuban towns tell an interesting story Puerto Principe, for instance, means “chief port,” but It is as far inland as any town in Cuba. It was originally founded by Columbus on

ike Bay of Nuevitas, but the depredations of French and English pirates kept it moving further and further inland,Ito get out of their way, until the “chief port” was thirty miles inland, and could not go any further without approaching the op-

posite shore. The name of Matanzas, the “butcheries,” perpetuates the memory of a great slaughter of the aborigines. The name of Havana, or Ea Habana, is of somewhat doubtful origin, but is said to hffve been corrupted from the word mean-

ing “Savanna;” and It was certainly derived from the name of the province in which it was situated, and not the re-

verso. Ba.vamo, Guantanamo, Sagua and Baracoa are all Indian names It was to the oredit of the early Spanish

settlers, as it is to the oredit of the settlers in the newer parts of tho United States, that they perpetuated the Indian names even when they were extripatlng the Indian inhabitants. The very name

of the Indian race, whioh lived in the western end of the island, is porpetuated, formidable a6 it Is, in the name of a town in Pinar del Kio—Guanabacabibes. The memory of the same people is Indirectly preserved in the names of and Guanabacoa Guanabay, Guanahayabo, and many other places. Cuba itself is “short” for Cuban- aoan, which was the name of a small district in the interior of the island, and which attained prominence because Columbus took it far indubitable proof Limb lie liau UiBUUVBrea uuo Aaiauu iauu

of Kubla Khan ! Columbus himself en-

deavored quite vainly to bestow upon the country the name of Juana—which would hare been Spanish for the Land of Jane; it was also officially named Fernandina. and Santiago, and Ave Marla, and Alfa y Omega 1 Cuba has been a land of many misfortunes, but there are some which 11 has been spared. Luckily the name which stuck to it was a part of the fine aboriginal designation of one of Its local cities.

When the men who are “rebels” to the Spanish “insurgents” to us, and to them selves patriots, have attained political control of the islund—if they ever do attain it—it is their avowed purpose to establish the capital at the city which is now Puerto Principe, but which they already call by its original Indian name, Camaguey. They have expressed an intention to restore certain other aboriginal names; it Is possible that they will do one thing to obliterate Spanish und mediaeval memories by giving Santiago de Cuba its ancient appellation of Bayaquitirl.

space calls for in the White House only the lady of the White House can tell.

During Mrs. Cleveland’s reign the Di-

plomatic Corps increased so that when the

state dinners were given tho dinner table

had to be plaoed in the red corridor be-

cause the dining-room would not hold it.

It was found that wnen the table was let

out in the dining-room tho guests could scarcely seat themselves and no servant was thin enough to squeeze behind the chairs. In the hali the table was, therefore, set, with the stairway at one end and barely room on each side of the table for the waiters to pass. What this meant to the guest and to the hostess can be im ugined, for there are doors opening from this hall into the East Boom, the Red Boom, the Blue Boom aud tho Green Boom. There are also doors into two or three other halls, and there is a fearful current of air coming down the great old stairway. It is etiquette that all the doors should stand open and the White House has never placed portieres at the doors to help matters. The air has full sweep, and on many a night the cushions

have been lifted from the divans bo keep the ladies’ feet from ohilblttins. It re-

quires heroism to sit through a long dinner nnder these circumstances with bare neck and hare arms, but Mrs. Cleveland was equal to it. She was so young and strong that it was impossible to break her down.

Mrs. McKinley proposed to have the table laid in the East Boom rather than the hall, but it was found that things got cold if they had to be carried aoross the house. Mrs. Harrison, who was the best housekeeper the White House ever

had, made herself master of the situation by providing covers for all the dishes, so that they couid be transported a long distance without cooling the food. Mrs. Harrison went into [ the White House as

though it were her own little home, and she penetrated the inmost recesBes of the kltohen, scullery and pantry, and brought about reforms which are appreciated to this day. Mrs. Cleveland contented herself with the outside appearance. She ordered the table to be set here and there with so many covers but she did not go into the internal workings.

Mrs. McKinley has been trying to get strong all summer. She saw what was in store for her this winter, and her friends promise that she will be well enough to

give Washington the most elaborate en-

tertainments ever known at the White House. It may he news to many to know that Mrs. McKinley has no secretary. Occasionally one of „the executive clerks assists her in the capacity of secretary, but she has no one to take the place of the sooial secretary, so iudispensible to

many ladles. She works,hard at her desk and keeps her own lists. She does this without blunders and her card receptions are marvels of selection.

SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT IRON.

(London Standard.) In Egypt Iron was nominally accursed,

even when people used it all day long and

every day. It was “the impure metal”— “the bones of Typhon,” father of Evil. No man could touch it without sin; he

must do penance and mako atonement. That was the theory as long as the Egyp- tian race endured; in practice iron had been handled freely for several thousand

y ears. The only piece of metal found in

the Great Pyramid was an iron bar. The

same confliot of ancient faith with grow- ing convenience was urged everywhere no

doubt, bnt the record does not exist. It

was lost before the classic time, and so

Greek and Roman sages puzzled over odd

little customs handed down from days of

old. Cicoro asked in vain why a tool of iron must not be Drought into the sacred

grove of the Arvals—or if brought by ao-

oident mut be expiated by the sacrifice of

a pig or a lamb.; and Plutaich wondered

why the Arohon of Plataea might not touch iron except at the yearly festival commemorating the triumph of Greeoe. There is no end to such instances. The

sacred old Pons Sublioius had to be re-

paired without using iron; so had the an-

cient temple of Jupiter Liber—in imperial times, when the meaning of suoh rules was lost, a special law abrogated them.

One may survey mankind from China to Pern and find the same superstition everywhere. lion tools were tor bidden in the building of the Temple at Jerusa- lem; the late Rajah Vizanagram, a member of the Council, a man of great learn- ing and enlightenment, would not allow iron t» be used in any building throughout his territory. He believed thatau epi- demic would follow. Negroes of the Gold Coast must remove any articles of rnn nn thftir nnrnnns whan consult,! no-

the Fetish. Upon the other hand, a Sikh must always have a pieoe of steel or iron about him. Burton tells how “the pious Moslem stretohes out a linger exclaiming: ‘Iron! oh, thou ill-omened one!’ when a dust storm approaches the oaravan—believing it to be directed by a Djinn.

In Scotland many traces survive. To use iron in kindling the “neediire” was awful impiety. When a fishermen swears

during bad weather at sea his comrades still grnsp the nearest bit of metal, cry- ing: “Qauld iron.” It is not so long since people thrust a nail or a knitting needle through each article of food in the house, or dippod it in the liquor when a

person died. This is enough—persons interested in the subject will find reams of evidence in books devoted to folk-lore. We may oredit that the superstition arose

everywhere at the time when fierce in- vaders, armed with iron, overran the country, massacreing the helpless people and destroying the antique religion. It was the accursed metal. Afterwards, by a natural prooess, the evil thing often came to be regarded as a protection against other evil things—witches and demons and charms and death itself. English babies were defended from fairy kidnappers by putting a key, knife, pair of tongs, above all, scissors, in the cradle. In many of those pretty tales dealing with » ‘‘swan maiden,” the girl cannot recover her plumage beoause it is looked in a chest with an iron key—sometimes she gets a mortal to open the chest, and flies away upon the Instant. In other stories she is released by a touch of iron; in one favorite version by the husband throwing his bridle at or to her—the iron bit is fatal.

AGAINST IMPERIALISM.

Congressman McChIi Gives His Views on

the Snbject.

(From His Speech Accepting a Renom-

ination to Congress.) Frankness requires that on an occasion

like this I should indicate, in a general way, how I shall regard the grave, and, in some respects, the novel, conditions

that result from the victory which so

speedily came to us through the heroic

bravery of our soldiers and the marvel-

lous achievement of our navy. The wis*

dom of increasing our navy cannot be

doubted, and, it seems to me. that its

efficiency would then be almost multiplied by two by the construction of a canal

acrosg Central America. Adequate provision should also bo made for protecting our seaboard, and for such increase in

our army, especially in artillery, as may be necessary to man our forts and for de-

fensive purposes. Beyond this, I do not

favor any extensive or permanent enlarge- ment of our army or the imposition upon our people, now happily exempt, of the

military burdens under which the nations

of Europe are groaning. Our American

youth were borrt to a nobler destiny than

to hunt savages off the coast of Asia or

to perish by thousands in tropical wars.

The acquirement in the Orient of a

purely naval and commercial base, which does not essentially involve empire, and

which present methods of transportation upon the sea make desirable and, indeed, necessary, for a trading nation like our-

selves, presents one problem. The ac-

quirement of such a station is, I believe, a duty. The policy of distant colonial

expansion involving the annexation qf 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 savage subjects in

Polynesia, presents a vastly aifferent

problem. It seems to me tbe benefits of such colonial policy would be most un*

certain, the responsibility sure. With magnificent vagueness its advo-

cates tell us that we should annex those islands because we are a gieat nation and because we must take up the responsibilities of victory. The fact that we are great thanks to the American policy which we

are asked to throw over the housetops, would naturally suggest, unless it is our

duty to become weak, that we should not dissipate our strength and surrender our

compact and invulnerable position by ex-

iiuiiuiug uui ojxjpiio iuw Î

phere; and as to the responsibilities of victory, they furnish the strongest reason

against the proposed policy. ! We mav have forgotten, but history will

not fail, the solemn words with which President McKinley called upon the powers to witness the unselfish manner in which the United States should pacify Cuba. We were about to invade the ter-

ritory of another nation whose sovereignty we had recognized during our entire exis-»: tenoe, and in order to avoid the suspicion that we were embarking upon a war of oonquest both Congress and the President made it clear that we had taken up arms

to secure the independence of Cuba from Spain and from all the rest of mankind.

The world had full notice, including, I suppose, the Philippine insurgents, that the war was undertaken for a definite purpose, and that we were moved by none of those sordid and vulgar motives, such as sometimes animate nations. The responsibilities of victory do not require that we should break faith with ourselves, or that we should appear to make humanity the stalking horse for ambition. Let us adhere to the spirit of the purpose for which we entered upon the war, and not be deluded by fanciful and paltering con- siderations into putting a stain upon our

national honor and sacrificing upon the altar of a false philanthropy those price- less things which have made us peerless among nations. The manifest "destiny of this nation has not been accomplished.

Our duties are on this continent, under our very eyes, and while they may, there fore, be mo e commonplace and less glit- tering and attractive than the task of go- iDg to the other end of the globe “hatch- ing vain empire,” their faithful performance will contribute infinitely more to our

own advantage and to the benefit of mankind.

The retention of the Philippines will be attended with heavy cost in time of peace, if, indeed, there could ever be peace with their inhabitants, and with great difficulty and danger in time of war. I do not believe we shoud seriously consider the practical abandonment of the Monroe doctrine in order to acquire Polynesia. That policy, like aDy other great national policy, lias its essential basis in its justice, and what justice or

consistency could there be in our saying to the ov ercrowded nations of the other continent, “You shall not lay hands upon this hemisphere,” while we, sparsely populated as we are, propose at one step to annex a thousand islands in the other hemisphere.

The Monroe doctrire would thereafter be deprived of any appearance of justice, and would stand upon force alone. It is not clear that the people of Polynesia have any reason to desire us there, in view of our treatment of the red man. Having almost exterminated the savages from one

continent, we are asked in the interest of humanity to adopt a policy which very likely may lead us to assume the role of executioner in another.

It may be admitted that England, which

lands, desires ns to take them. Her ad vice is, doubtless, disinterested, and, of course, we love England; but would it not be just a bit sudden and emotional in us to navigate our ship by tile lights which she may run up? For my part, I prefer that we should taka our course by G forge Wahington and by those other Used and serene stars that shine so re-

spiendenlty in our American sky. We have a mission to perform upon

this continent grander than was ever ac-

corded to a nation. Do not mistake the whirlwind which we may now ride to our destruction for the settled current of popular “opinion which wiil ultimately

"blow. You cannot gauge public opinion by the drat rumblings Give the masses time to think, and they will think and decide wisely. You will not have „loug to wait.

The heartstrings of the American people have been wrung at the sufferings of our

fever-blasted heroes in Cuba, and they will not long stand complacently by while the sons of American mothers are exposed upon that distant theatre of the earth- quake and the typhoon, and the bodies of thousands of them are fattening that rich tropicnl soil. I covet not for our great organization

the fate of the party which shall become responsible for this adventurous polioy. but I have that confidence in the broad statesmanship and enlightened patriotism of our president aDd in the wisdom of those who shall ultimately share responsibility with him to believe that they will not pull up the anchors which bind this great nation to its historic raoorin gs, but that they will permit it to steadily pur- sue that course upon which it will continue to enjoy prosperity, happiness, greatness and immunity from ioreign war.

AWFUL SKINMSEASE Suffered Untold AgonyTwo Years.

Itching and Burning Terrible. Had to Give up Work Entirely.

Instant Relief in First Application OF CUTICURA REMEDIES.

AtWork, FullyCured in 2 Months.

I was afflicted with a terrible malignant break-

ing oat all over the upper part of my body. I was treated by some of the very best physicians, who pronounced it contagious blood poison, through whom I spent hundreds of dollars trying to get relief, but it seemed to get worse. All the time I was suffering untold agony, and finally had to give up work entirely. I grasped at every, thing I saw advertised, and likened to every suggestion from friends, but nothing seemed to reach

my case. The burning, itching fix I was in seemed to be aggravated by every effort to relieve myself; but, thank God, relief came to me at last. Cuti- cura Remedies were suggested to me, and I

immediately procured the Cuticura (ointment), Cuticura Soap, and Cuticura Resolvent. From the first, I experienced a soothing relief, notwithstanding my intense pain. The warm

bath, with Cuticura Soap, the anointing with

Cuticura, and the dose of Cuticura Resol-

vent, 6eemed to start the good work from the first. I improved right along, and in less than two months I was able to be up and at work, and continued to improve daily till at last Iwas

entirely cured, sound and well, not a sign on my body anywhere indicating that anything had ever

been the matter with me. It is now over two

years since I have been entirely cured, and not a

sign or a symptom has ever returned. I will

gladly answer any and all letters with reference to my case. M. B. BASTIEIs,

After an unusually long session the

grand jury of the United States Ciroult

court reported yesterday afternoon. The

indiotments found were as follows: Three indictments against George F.

Terry alias G. Fred Terry of Waterville, and three indictments against Arthur H.

King of Fairfield, and Frank T. Good-

ridge of Waterville. All for a soheme tc defraud by use of the post office department.

bezzling money order funds. Charles H. Armstrong of Fort Fairfield

James H. Mahoney of Kaston, Frank Craig of Parish of Perth, New.Brunswick U1_U'nle.finlrl all fnt

smuggling. “Two indictments against Charles D. Record of Readfield,from mailing obscene literature.

The grand jury were then paid off and exoused from further attendance and

nearly all of them departed for their homes on the afternoon train.

The indictments against George F. Ter-

ry and Arthur H. King of Fairfield, and

the indictment against Frank T. Good-

rich of Watervillo, are all on account of

the operations of the Fairfield Floral com-

pany, of which so muoh has been written. This company which recently filed a pe- tition for the appointment of a receiver is charged by the postal authorities with

fraudulently using the United States mails. It is the claim of the post office

department that this case will be the most important it has been called upon to prosceute since the famous Louisiana

lottery oase some years ago. Witnesses will be in attendance from all over the

country and the defense will make a great fight. Attorney General Haines of Water- ville and Hon. Clarence Hale will appear for the defense while District Attorney Dyer will bo the prosecuting officer.

At the request of the defense the case

was set for November 2 by *the presiding justice. Mr. Frank Harrison of New York and Miss Lotta Copenhard of Phil-

adelphia who are important government witnesses, were yesterday held in $1000 bonds each for their appearance on Nov.

2. Mr. C. M. Rice of Portland furnished the sureties in both cases.

At three o’clook yesterday afternoon the

petit jury came into court and the case

of Charles D. Record of Readfield wa6

taken up. Record is a rather good look-

ing young man, and is charged with send-

ing obscene books and articles through the United States mails. Hon. George E.

Bird appeared as counsel for the accused. Record waived the reading of the in-

dictments found against him and his attorney filed demurrers in both cases.

Judge Webb sustained the demurrer in

the second indictment, but would not sustain it in the first indictment so that Record who pleaded not guilty to the

charge will be given his trial this morn-

ing. The court will come in this forenoon at

ten o’clock when the case of Elden W. Hanks of Augusta, charged with robbing the Onited States mails will also be heard. Mr. Anson Goddard of Augusta is the counsel for the defense in this case.
