Bad Case at Freeport and the Man Will Die. Five Cases Have So Far Been Found Over at Shiloh. All Doing Well—Colony Strictly Obey ing Quarantine Rules. Freeport, Me., Feb. 12.—(Sp cial). This town is experiencing a smallpox scare which has alarmed the whole vil lage. although determined efforts are being brought into play to check the dreaded disease. Last Saturday, three tramps came into town and were given lodgings at what is known as the tramp house on the poor farm. Two of the party, it was noticed, were suffering fioni some malady, and were examined by a local physician, who pionounced their case suspicious. Dr. Smith of Portland, of the State Board of Health, was called and it was announced that one of the patients was suffering from an aggravated case of smallpox and the man will die. The tramp house has since been placed under quarantine. FIVE CASES AT SHILOH Two More Isolated, Wednesday—All Patients Doing Nicely. Shiloh, Me., Feb. 12.—(Special).—Dr. A. G. Young, Augusta, and Dr. C. D. Smith of Portland, of the State Board of Health, were here, today, and decid ed that the case of the little child, whose case looked suspicious, yester day, has a well defined case of small pox, find also found a young woman suffering from the disease. They were removed to the house where the other cases are being cared for. Dr. Young said to a Journal man, af ter his return to Augusta, Wednesday evening: “When I was at Shiloh, Tuesday, I found that the people there were per fectly willing and anxious to obey all the instructions of both the local' and State boards of health, and I think that something of an injustice has been done them by some of the reports that have been sent out. “About four weeks ago, a case de veloped, which was pronounced by a Lisbon Falls doctor who was called in to be chicken pox. The patient was isolated front the others, had a special room and every precau tion taken. About two weeks ;igo, two other cases made their ap pearance and the same precaution was taken with them, although no doctor was'■cal led. No new cases appeared till that of McKenzie, taken the other day at Portland. "On Tuesday’s visit I found a little child, 2 or 3 years old, with an erup tion just starting, not developed enough to positively call it smallpox. But, Wednesday, the case was well defined and the child was sent to the hospital. V young woman was also found, Wednesday, to be suffering from the same disease and she also joined the patients in isolation. These make a total of five cases at Shiloh, for we positively diagnosed the first cases, which had been called hiek enpox. as smallpox. Beckett, the man who has been in Portland with McKen zie, is in quarantine, but has as yet shown no signs of coming down with the disease. “The Shiloh people are to be com mended for the good judgment shown in isolating the cases and their will ingness to abide by the health officials' orders. They are all in strict quaran tine, of course, and there is not the least disposition to break it. All mail sent out from there will be thoroughly disinfected and »very precaution taken to prevent a spread of the disease. “I also received word from T)r. C. D. Smith, tonight (Wednesday), that he hail visited the suspect at Freeport and found a continent case of smallpox. He said that the man would probably die.’’ VERDICT OF $1212 Given Dr. Clement for Attending Small pox Cases at Lewiston. I.ewiston, Me.. Feb. 12.—(Special).—Dur ing the smallpox scare of 1901, Dr. V. A. Clement, formerly of Augusta, attended the cases and put in a hill of $153.1 to the city for 555 visits. The city refused to pay it. claiming the amount to be exorbi tant. The doelor sued and the jury at Auburn, today, gave him a verdict of $1212. onvjrtwnnv/u nuru ouiunno Meet and Decide on Representation for Next Decade. Bath. Me.. Feb. 12 —The members of the Republican county committee and the chairman of the Republican committees in the different class towns of Sagadahoc county met at New Meadows Inn. today, as guests of Noble Maxwell of Richmond. Those present were: Frank Adams of Bowdoin, Alonzo Purington of Bowdoin. R. D. Purington of Bowiloinham. II. F. Hinckley of Georgetown. Charles Cros by of Arrowsic. J. A. Purington of Wool wich, A. C. Hathorn of Woolwich A. L. Strout of Bath. F. 1>. llowker of Phlpps burg. Noble Maxwell, Charles I). Newell and Charles B. Day of Richmond. The object of this gathering was for tile pur pose of re-dividing the representation of the class according to the late census, said division to continue for the coming 10 years. Noble Maxwell was elected chairman and Alonzo Purington, secretary. It was voted that Georgetown send a representa tive to the State Legislature in 1903. Bow doin in 1905. Richmond in 1907 and 19u9 and Woolwich in 1911. It was voted that the chairmen notify the olher towns of the time and place of holding nominating caucuses and that the records of this meeting be sent the chairmen of the Re publican town committees. After the business of the day had been transacted, all retired to the large dining room which had been reserved especially for them, and Manager Cahill served an elaborate shore dinner. Is it a ba o'clock and in this number was Mrs. Roosevelt, who had walked down with Secretary Cortelyou from the infirm ary. There were also present four or five others with anxious hearts, the Potters and the Gammels, while the rest formed a sympathetic congregation. The regular evening service was read hv Dr. Pea body. It included both prayers for the sick and for the President. The church is a gem. being of purely gothic architec ture and with an organ continually sweet in tone and of a size well adapted to the edifice. After the service was over, a number stayed for a concert by a Har vard professor. Gradually the lights in the crescent of buildings surrounding the campus wont out. and by 11 o’clock everything seemed to have sunk into rest, save for the nurses in the sick room, the watchman in the yard below and a couple of news paper men o itside on the frozen road. In giving out the evening bulletin Mr. Cortelvou said that the boy's condition was better, in fact the same was true of all three boys. As far as young Roosevelt was concerned. Mr. Cortelyou said lie was better at this hour (x o’clock) than at the same hour lilHt night. The left lung hail cleared. The respiration, temperature and pulse W*ro about the same. The doctors believe that if the boy has sutlh-ient vitality to meet thJ crisis in tin- rlgln lurig he will recover. The clearing up of the left lung will be very helpful. Quite unexpectedly, Mr. Cortelyou made a sick room report at 11 o'clock, saying that the hoy was sleeping quietly an-1 that the situation was unchanged. During the afternoon-We- President was notified of the arrival at New York of the imperial yacht HohenzolU-rn. He has expressed his pleasure at the safe arrival of tile vessel. Tonight, it was stated that there has been no change in the program for the entertainment of t’rfnee Henry at Washington, in tact invitations to the dinner at the White House on Feb. 24 are being Sjfnt out.

Patterson Calls Philippine Investigation ‘‘Star Chamber Deal.” Washington, Feb. 12.—The House, to day, passed the oleomargaine bill. There was no division on the final pas sage, the real test of strength having been made on a motion to recommit, which was defeated by a majority of 44. The provision to require the in spection and branding of renovated butter, which was adopted in commit tee of the whole, yesterday, was re tained today, by an aye and no vote. The bill makes oleomargarine or im itation butter or cheese transported in to any state or territory for use, sale or consumption therein, subject to the laws of such states or territory, not withstanding that it may be introduced in original packages, and imposes a tax of 10 cents per pound on oleomargarine made in imitation of "butter of any shade of yellow.” When not made in such imitation the tax is reduced to one-fourth of one cent per pound. The second section is intended to pre vent dealers, hotel proprietors, restau rant and boarding house keepers from coloring the uncolored article. Penal ties are fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, and imprisonment for not less than 30 days nor more than six months. The new section relating to the inspection and branding of reno vated butter is as follows: "That the secretary of agriculture is hereby authorized and required to cause a rigid sanitary inspection to be made from time to time, and at such times as he may deem necessary, of all factories and storehouses where but ter is renovated and all butter renovat ed at such places shall be carefully in spected in the same manner and to the same extent and purpose that meat products are now inspected. The quantity and quality of butter reno vated shall be designed as such by marks, brands and labels, and the words ‘renovated butter’ shall be printed on all packages thereof, in such manner as may be prescribed by the secretary of agriculture and shall be Sold- only aS renovated _’l5ufTcr.'~^f) renovated butter shall be shipped or transported from one state to another, or to foreign countries, unless inspected us provided in this section.” The day was made notable by the passage of the first bill for the pay ments of claims of United States citi zens arising out of the Spanish war. It carried something over $55,000 for the payment of 202 claims. An omnibus bill carrying claims ag grefating $2,114,552 for stores and sup plies taken from loyal citizens during the Civil War also was passed. The bill was identical with one passed by the House at the last session. Two other bills, which have been before Congress for 28 years, to refer certain claims for additional compensation by the builders of certain monitors dur ing the Civil War to the court of claims were passed. When the House met, a vote was pending upon the amendment to the oleomargarine bill which was provided for the inspection and branding of ren ovated or process butter. The amend ment was adopted. 151 to 124. The an nouncement was greeted with applause. Wadsworth, chairman of the commit tee on agriculture, then moved to re tv mmit the bill with instructions to the the committee to report back the mi nority bill as a substitute. The mo tion to recommit was lost. 117 to 1£1. This was considered a test vote and tiie bill was then passed without dlvi sinn. v The vote by yeas and nays follows. Yeas—Adams. Adamson, Allen (Ky.).

Will Make No Ceremonious Calls Till Prince Henry’s Arrival. Now York, Feb. 12.—The imperial Gorman yacht Hohenzollern arrived, today, from Kiel. She was nut expect ed, for she tamo by the southern circle and it was calculated that the run would take at least one day more than it did. It had also been thought that she would touch at Bermuda and that place hail reported her as two days overdue. The weather she encountered was unfavorable for a call at Bermuda and at sea Admiral Count Von Baudis sin shaped his course fdr New York. The yacht had some heavy weather in Southern waters, hut for the most part it was fair and when it was at its best she logged 16 knots an hour. She hove in sight off Sandy Hook a few minutes before noon and an hour later got the courtesy of the port and came on into North river. Passing craft gave her a noisy welcome and the man at her jackstaff was kept busy dipping her big naval flag, with its field of white, black Prussian eagle and black cross. The North German Lloyd pier at Ho boken was not ready for her reception and she dropped her anchors in mid stiearn until a fleet of tugs cleared a berth for her. At 4 o'clock she was carefully warped into the pier. Admiral Von Baudissin was formally welcomed to New York by a civic com mittee. a representative of Mayor Low and an officer of the United States navy. The civic committee was headed by Capt. A. T. Mahan, U. S. N.. retired, anu his associates were Emil S. Boas, Gustav H. Schwab, Capt. Jacob S, Mil ler, AVm. H. Baldwin, Jr., George H. Boldt, Col. Whelan and Commander Rodgers. Capt. Mahan spoke briefly, greeting the admiral and his officers and ship in the name of the people of the city. Wallace Downey, builder of the yacht for the German Emperor, for the launching of which Prince Henry is coming to the United States, also called. _The officers of the Hohenzollern said cept formal entertainments until the arrival of the prince of whose suit they are members. They can and will do so in their private and individual capacity, but when they come ashore it will be in civilian attire. The officers of the Hohenzollern are is follows: Rear Admiral Count Von Baudissin, Captain Von Holleben, Capt. Hipper. navigator. Capt. Lieutenant Von Der Osten and Von Mantey, First Lieuts. Rebonsburg, Seidensticker and A on Haxthaitsen, Lieut. Elle, First Surgeon Uthemann, First Engineer Steinmayer, Second Engineer Nicolai, Paymaster Heppner. THE CAPTAIN DROWNED. Prince Rupert Runs Down Fisherman in St. John Harbor. St. John, X’. P... Feb. 12.—As the steamer Prince Rupert was leaving the harbor, this morning, for Digby, she struck the Grand Manan fishing schooner Princess Louise, dismasted her and cut away the starboard bow. Capt. Chesley E Ingalls and Lloyd Zuricker, both of Grand Manan, com prised the crew of the Princess Louise. Capt. Ingalls was hover seen after the j Rupert struck his schooner, which was lying at anchor, and he was either killed by the falling mast or drowned. Zuricker says the captain just pre viously to the disaster was standing forward blowing his horn, for a thick vapor caused by the cold covered the water. Zuricker remembers nothing Tiore until he found himself in the wa :er on a hatch cover, suffering from the ■old.

BRINGS THE PROOF. Germany Makes Public the Spanish War Documents Showing That England Proposed In tervening in Spain’s Behalf, Germany Surprised at Repeated De nials at London. Berlin. Feb. 12.—The official Ueich sanzeiger, this evening, published the following: "In order to definitely clear up the question, so far as it affects Germany, in regard to the attitude of the powers in the spring of 1X9S, rela tive to the idea of intervention in the Spanish-American conflict, we publish two documents, which follow: "The first is dated Berlin, April 15, 1S9N. and is addressed to the Emperor by Count Van Buelow, then secretary of state. Count Von Buelow transmits to the Emperor a telegram from Dr. Von Holieben, dated Washington, as follows: ‘The British ambassador, today, took the initiative, in a very remarkable manner, in a new collective step of the representatives of the ptKvers here. We suppose the Queen Kegent made repre sentations to the Queen of England. In this sense the six representatives at the request of the British ambassador, are telegraphing to their governments in the sense which follows: 'In view of the attitude of Congress no hope of peace can any longer be en tertained and the general opinion is that the powers also would have no ob jection to war. A good basis for fresh negotiations appeared to be afforded by the note of the Spanish minister, April 10. If this view is shared by the gov ernments it seems advisable to dispel the erroneous notion here that armed intervention in Cuba meets with the support of the civilized world. (The President in his message of December said it was only in that case that he desired intervention). The representa tives of the powers here think in these circumstances that the great powers might direct the attention of the Amer ican government to the Spanish note of April 10 and might declare that in tervention did not appear to them to be justitied. This declaration might take the form of a collective note from the powers to‘the representative of the United States. Such a document would produce a greater impression and the representatives of the powers here would not then incur the risk of ap pearing only to repeal their first step, which the President, in his latest mes sage, has not even deigned to mention. In the event of an identical note being decided upon, it would be advisable to publish it immediately, in order that the civilized world, to whose authority the appeal is made, may be absolved from reproach in approving of this at tack.’ “Don Von Holieben adds: ‘Personally, 1 regard this demonstration somewhat •oldly.’ "And to this concluding sentence of he ambassador, the Emperor appended :he following marginal note: ‘I regard it as completely futile and purposeless and therefore prejudicial. am against this step.' "Dr. Von Holieben also subsequently ’oi warded the text of the collective elegram, as originally submitted by he British to the other foreign repre sentatives for communication to their governments. The text of this docu ment follows: ‘The attitude of Congress and the esolulion of the House of ltepresenta iver passed, yesterday, by a large ma lority, leave but little hope of peace md it is popularly believed that the variike measures advocated have the ipproval of the great powers. The nemorandum of the Spanish minister, lelivered on Sunday, appears to me and ny colleagues to remove all legitimate a use for war. If that view should be ihared by the great powers, the time ins arrived to remove the erroneous mpression which prevails that the l ined intervention of the United States a Cuba commands, in Ale words of the ness age, "the support and approval of he civilized world.” It is suggested by hi foreign representatives that this night be done by a collective expres ion from the great powers of the hope hat the United States government will rive favorable consideration to the nemorandum of the Spanish minister if April 10, as offering a reasonable iasis for an amicable solution, and as emoving any grounds for hostile in erventlon which may have previously xisted.’ The statement of the under secretary f the British foreign office, Lo^d (Continued on page 2.)

Finefty and the men associ ated v.lth him in directing th i»oliey of the t'nlled Irish I-eague in this country, advocate the iu?e of dynamite and rifles, I*. Shelby O'ltyan. national secretary of the organization, gave out the following authorized statement: "If the report only affected the ofll e. -rs of the league personally they allow it to pass unnoticed. They ex pect misrepresentation. Hut when a re|K>rt of this kind assails all men prominent in aiding the Irish move ment in this country and Is designed to tarnish the movement generally they think it Just that they should register a defence. "The United Irish League is the old l.md League revived. It has the back ing of the L’nited Irish people at horn and IS endorsed by the best representa tives of the Irish race in this country, both lay and clerical. It aims to secure full national self-government for Ire land, In aholish landlordism, to put an end to famine in distressed districts, to prevent the robbery of $15,000,000 anuu f. lly which England takes from Ireland in the form of unjust taxation and con trary to the express stipulations of the act of union, to preserve the Oaelic language and to secure complete edu cational equality for nil creeds in Ire land. “Its methods are the methods of O Connell and Purnell. Both program and the means selected to further it make up a movement that defies at tack. The one now noticed was made purposely to discredit the mission of William rtedniond, M.

The bill which passed the House last session to pay 176 claims, aggregating $2,114,552, allowed by the court of claims under the Bowman act for stores and supplies taken from loyal citizens for the use of the United States army during the Civil war, also was favorably acted upon.

Feb. 12.—The memorial lot the Federal party-of the Philippine i Islands was transmitted to the Senate, inis afternoon, by the secretary of war; together with it letter of transmittal by fiov. Taft. It sets forth that the per formance of that obligation of the treaty of Paris whtch gave the United State* Congress authority to fix the status of the Philippine islands has been deferred to this time because of the attack of the Filipinos upon the sovereignty of the ignited States, tin act brought ’about through a misunder standing.

The memorial concludes that from the mass of data collected it is "the in tention of the two peoples that they should never be disunited.” It proceeds: ‘‘Philippine independ ence. with or without a protectorate, means a holding of power by all the terrible elements of the sects which predominate, and would predominate still for some years, until the anger of Filipinos toward Filipinos shall have beeii completely calmed, education be come general and the fanaticism we have inherited from Spain exiled. Fed eration or annexation would settle all these difficulties by concentrating the interest of the Filipino people upon ed ucation and labor.” The memorialists then pray a dec laration by Congress that the Philip pine islands e,-institute a territory with the right of becoming a state of the Union. A preliminary forpi of government similar to that of the territories of the United States is outlined. The plan provides for a governor and four executive secretaries to be ap pointed by the President of the United States and for a territorial Senate in addition to a House of Representatives consisting of 31 members, 16 of whom are to be elected by the people, and the others appointed by the governor.

The general staff will he the govern ing body of the army. It will be ad visory to the secretary of war, will plan possible campaigns, and will have a genera i supervision of the general effi ciency of the service. It is said that one section of the lull proposes the consolidation of the sub sistence. quartermaster's and pay de partments into a department of sup plier. This section is meeting with some opposition at the war department, but the secretary, it is reported, be lieves the difficulties will be safisfac oriiy adjusted. MAINE PENSIONS.

CRUEL METHODS Of Treating Piles and Rectal Diseases. The old methods of treating piles by the knife, by ligature or dilatation, be sides causing Intense pain and fre quently collapse and death, are now known to be worse than useless as far as actually curing the trouble is con cerned. Derangement of the liver and other Internal organs, as well as constipa tion. often causes piles, and it is a mistake to treat it as a purely local disease; this is the reason why salves and ointments have so little effect and the widespread success of the Pyramid Pile Cure has demonstrated It. The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a salve not ointment but is in supposi tory form, which Is applied at night, absorbed into the sensitive rectal membrane and acts both as a local and constitutional treatment, and in cases of many years standing has made thousands of permanent cures. Many pile sufferers who have under gone surgical operations without relief or cure have been surprised by results from a few week's treatment with the Pyramid suppository. The relief from pain is so immediate that patients sometimes imagine that the Pyramid contains opiates or co caine, but Web is not the case, it is guaranteed absolutely free from any injurious dr is. The cure is the result of the healing oils and astringent properties of the remedy, which cause the little tumors and congested blond vessels to con tract and a natural circulation is es tablished.

Cmnborne. in the House of Commons, yesterday caused amazement here, since the German officials assume that l.ord J'aunccfote’s proposal of April 14, 1S9S, to the ambassadors of the other countries could not have been made without instructions from the home government. The German officials point out that Henry Norman's query in the House of Commons was shaped purposely to give it the appearance of covering fully the North German Ga zette's statement of Monday, without doing so, since the German side has never charged that the British ambas sadors generally did anything, hut, that one ambassador, l.ord Panuce fote, made a proposal. Lord Cran hrone’s answer, therefore, is treated here as being a mere verbal quibble. Moreover, the impression made on the ambassadors of the other powers, at the conference held at Washington, April 11, 1S9S, was not that Lord Pauncefote was merely sounding them to determine how an intervention pro posal expected later from Austria, would be received. Lord Pauncefote’s proposal was understood as an inde pendent initiative. "lieferring further to the statement cabled from American official sources that the t'nited States never received such proposition from the Great Brit ain as described from here the inform ant of the correspondent of The Asso ciated Press added: “Of course not. We have never charged that the matter reached the American government hut said that the proposition was balked by Germany before so going so far.” l7a. w. in danger.

A prominent Detroit lawyer told me that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets kept his throat in tine shape during the most trying weather, and that lie had long since discarded the use of cheap lozengers and troches on the advice of his physician that they contained so much tolu. potash and opium as to render their use a danger to health.” Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are large pleasant lasting Inze tigers composed of catarrhal antiseptics, like Ked Hum.

FRASER RARRRIGK, Boston Specialist, will he at HOTEL NORTH, AUGUSTA. Thursday and Friday, Feb. 13th and 14th. Or. Barbrick visits Augusta at regu lar intervals for the purpose of per sonally attending to the immense prac tise he has succeeded in building tip in this place during the years he has been coming here, and if you are sick or af flicted you should consult him nt his offices at the Hotel North and avoid the expense and loss of time a visit to his Boston offlce woulcf necessitate. The following offer is made to all who call on him during this visit. That no fee will be charged or received for con sultation. examination, advice or ser vices until the patient pronounces him or herself cured. Dr. Barbrick has adopted this plan for two purposes. First, to show the confidence he him self has in his methods of treatment and ability to cure. Second, to prove that he can and does cure, even after all others fail. The remarkable cures be has made here have given him a reputation that can almost be vouched for by your next door neighbor, but if you still have doubts, the above offer should dispel them. Skill is gained by experience, confidence is born of suc cess. Dr. Barbrick h: s had an unlim ited experience anti Ills universal suc cess has given him almost sublime con fidence. as is evidenced by his wonder ful offer to and his honorable dealings with the sick public. He treats all diseases that afflict the the human race. The following are a few of the many diseases that ht treats successfully: Liver Complaint. Dyspepsia, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Deaf ness, Coughs, Gravel, Dropsy, Piles, Paralysis, Epilepsy, Rheumatism, Tu mors, Cancers, Fistula, Kidney Dis eases, Fever Sores, Diarrhoea, Asthma, Erysipelas, Heart Disease, Scrofula, Blood and Skin Diseases of all kinds, all nervous Diseases, and all diseases and weaknesses of both sexes. The rapidity with which he describes all diseases is truly wonderful and aston ishes all who may call upon him, and he frankly tells all whether or not they can he cured. His extensive, practical experience enables him to determine almost at a glance whether a case Is curable, whether it can only he henefltted. or whether it is incurable. His methods of specially stml> ing each case and ap plying his remedies to meet each in dividual requirement makes his inode of treatment at once scientific in Its application, quick in its action and positive in its results. If you are tick thin is your opportu nity to, be cured. No matter what the disease you are suffering from or how long standing, you should tall tin him. It will cost you nothing and you may profit by it. A WONDERFUL CURE!

Happy anil proud Ohio pays the last of its bonded debt, this month. Well, it will not be many years before Maine will take her place in the same class. And there are other states. A Boston paper fearing that a false report might get abroad hastens to ex plain that it is not true that Mrs. Eddy has determined to illustrate the power of Christian Science by offering her services to nurse in the Boston small pox hospital without being vaccinated. Senator Hoar deserves success in his efforts to have Inauguration day changed from March 4 to the last Thursday of April. It would mean less business for the Washington doctors and undertakers, but everybody else would be better off. It is well that h.iriges in our constitution are made with much difficulty, but here is one that cannot be made too soon. IJttle Teddy is pulling through bravt-ly and everybody in the land re joices with his happy parents. This youngster is a true “chip of the old block,” and is the kind of a real boy that everybody likes. Now just to even things up in the family and as a sort of reward of merit why not send him over to Spain to take in the fun of the coronation of Alphonso XIII? Stricken Paterson is a typical American manufacturing town and happily its factories were not swept away in the great conflagration. With them in operation the destroyed busi ness section can be rebuilt more sub stantially than ever before. Almost al ways a great fire results in marked improvement in a city, but it is a means of progress which is never wholly popular. _ Tlie friends of that Massachusetts of ficer, formerly of the National Guard, who was captured in South Africa while fighting with the Boers, and is now a prisoner of war in Bermuda, have a right to attempt to secure his release, but they have no right to ex pect to succeed in their efforts. He took the chances of war and should now take his medicine like a man. That he is an American is no argu ment for his release; on the contrary his captors are justified in regarding It as an additional count against him. The woman who went over Niagara, Inst October, in a barrel, has made a failure of her lecturing tour and had to pawn her barrel and beg money in Ohio to get back to her home. We are sorry for Mrs. Taylor, but It Is gratify ing to know that the kind of fame sin- sought proved unrenumerative and unsatisfactory. It may discourage other cranks. The Ohio reporter who wrote up the poor woman’s hard luck ns a lecturer soothed her wounded feel ings by adding that although she said her age was 4K she looked less than 40. Companies which insure people against smallpox are now being organ ized in Kngland and are doing a thriv ing business. In this country health Insurance has Been carried on for sev eral years and smallpox is only one of a score of diseases against which per sons are insured for a very small pre mium. This insurance. It should be stated, is not for a stated sum to be paid in case of death, but a weekly benefit to be paiil during illness. It is needless to say that an anti-vaccina tionist would not be greatly bothered by agents of such companies. The pneumonia epidemic at the Croton school is not likely to cause a sudden spreading of the custom of go ing hareheaded at all seasons which has prevailed there of late. Such a custom tan be followed with safety only when other customs and conditions fit it. Th^ Indians wore no hats, but that had been their custom for untold genera tions: and, moreover, they did not spend many hours daily in steam heated studies and their nights in warm dormitories. Unwonted exposure and exercise fills many early graves. The "toughening” process to be successful must begin early and be consistent. 1 V 1 The Hoston Globe speaks of throw ing bootjacks at cats. How many per sons. born within the last quarter of a century, ever saw a bootjack?—Toledo Blade. Bootjacks? Why, that Toledo editor should come to New England and learn a few things. There isn't a farm house in this section of the land but has its bootjack, and it is a bit of fur niture In daily use. In our city man sions it is likewise found, but there it is hanging in the drawing room, trimmed xvith ribbons and hand painted, one of the cherished ornaments and heirlooms of the home. Lots of things have been outgrown by the country in the past quarter of a cen tury, b|it the bootjack is not one ol them. yk-.. The Maine G. A. R. in Augusta. For the first time in a dozen years the State encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, department of Maine, held in Augusta. That the veterans have a sincere and cordial welcome to the capital, goes without saying. Our city, officially, and our citizens, in dividually, greet with pleasure the rep resentatives of this great order which is composed of the brave man who saved the Union and whose noble motto, ever faithfully lived up to, is ‘•Fraternity, Loyalty and Charity.” We are proud to have t^em here for these two days, and hope that in every respect their visit will be pleasant and profitable. The department of Maine is fortunate in its leaders and in its rank and file. Our State sent its best to the defence of the flag in that great conflict. Thousands died the death of heroes in battle and hospital, on the march and in the prison pen. The years that have passed since Appomattox have sadly thinned the ranks of the survivors. Hut those with us, today, are still in spirit the boys in blue of old. The winters that have frosted their hair have left no chill in the heart. As the grim gaps in the ranks are made they close up and press on, shoulder to shoulder, doing their full duty as the highest type of citizens. When the blossoms of spring are fairest they pause for a day to place a tribute of love on the graves of their fallen c om rades. Among them, as the years pass, the fraternal bonds, the loyal zeal and the charitable spirit are stronger and stronger, and the heart of a grateful and united people gives them measure overflowing of love and honor. When the Maine Grand Army boys last met here, in 1890, they were hon ored by a visit from the national com mander-in-chief. General Russell A. Al ger of Michigan, whom they and the city were alike glad to greet. On this occasion they are to be similarly fa vored in the presence of the national head of the order, General Eli O. Tor rence of Minnesota, who ccjmes here from Boston, where he has been in at tendance at the annual encampment of the Massachusetts veterans. Scandals in the English Army. It looks as though the English army were up against something more seri ous than the vigorous poetic abuse of Rudyard Kipling or the humiliating de feats by inferior forces of Boers. In Parliament, in the English newspapers and in the common gossip of the masses there are the most serious charges being made in regard to the army supplies of horses, food, equip ment and transports. England, so heavily taxed to support the long and disastrous South African war is in no mood to enjoy the disclosure that it has been systematically and extensively robbed by government and army officials. The very delay (Of the minis try in the investigation of these charges is regarded as unfavorable and suspicious. For a century England has been free front any scandals over the personal pecuniary corruption of army officials. Often its generals and their subordi nates have been stupid, and there has been much mismanagement and many blunders, but they have been brave and honest. Though their heads were wooden, their hands were clean. But there has been a great change in Eng lish life within a generation. While English land yielded large rentals, Englishmen of the ruling class were screened from temptation by easy means. All Englishmen in responsible positions at the head of affairs were not rich, but most of them were, and enough of them were of ample fortune to establish standards for all the rest. Landed Incomes in England, as every ope knows, have seen a reduction in the past twenty-five years of one-fourth to one-third, where they are not drawn from city to town property. ^Relative ly. the ruling class of England, based on 1 ind. has grown poor, just as the banking, manufacturing and com nier Ial classes have become rich. Eng lish society has gone through a radical change. It has teemed with scandal, not with reference to pecuniary cor ruption in office, hut to stock jobbing, company promoting and a lax personal life. And so for some years there have been whispers of scandals in army con tacts. and now these whispers are so loud that the government can no longer refuse to heed them. England is not in a position where it can afford to sup press such scandals. The Dorothy Dix Monument. May the good fortune which hits fa vored the resolution of $10,000 for a Dorothy Dix monument at Hampden in the Senate follow it through the whole intricate course of legislation un til it becomes a law. and the monu ment Itself stands on the hanks of the Penobscot, a fitting tribute of the Na tion to the memory of the noble-heart ed Maine woman who did so much for her country .and the cause of humanity. The women who have labored so zeal ously in the cause of preserving the birthplace of Miss Dix and in behalf of the proposed monument, deserve to see their efforts crowned with success. ,It is a slow and difficult process to get money from the government for the erection of memorials and monuments n ti.l f, it*., m kn vrex ot'nx U and few women have ever been so hon ored. The case of Dorothy Dtx de I serves to be an exception. Her ser vices iis chief of the nurses during the Civil War, and her intelligent and far reaching efforts in behalf of the suf fering and the unfortunate, have en shrined her in a multitude of hearts and made the debt to her greater than could be paid during her life and greater than can be "expressed by the most beau tiful and stately monument. Perhaps it is not too much to say that no American woman ever did,more for her country or was of greater usefulness to the world. There should be no longer \ie lay in giving her name and memory the tribute which the Senate has voted. In Winter Days. The days have lost their brightness, and I feel the dreary pain Of the winds that sigh around me—of the lonesome winter rain; I have but remembered roses and the song of birds that seem To be singing to me ever o'er the mead ows of a dream. I say: "Somewhere the gardens of the Spring are blooming bright. And Morning dawns in splendor, and the I.ovt -s.tars light the Night!" But the dowers I loved are ashes, and no altar-tires gleam Where my soul is ever sighing for the meadows of a dream. The dim days have no pity—no promise for the years; The stars are stormed from heaven, and the clouds rain down their tears; For a face that made the morning has faded with its beam, And Ur- promise of the Springtime is the sadness of a dream. —Frank L. Stanton. What are you giving up, this Lent? Tomorrow will be Curd's busiest day of the year. Winter took a firmer grip on the old world, yesterday. The wise G. A. U. post is engaging its Memorial orator. Augusta is now the Mecca of Maine’s veterans and there Is a cordial welcome for all. The Lincoln Club maintains its repu tation for A1 oratory and for genuine Republican enthusiasm. Wise Mr. Gardner, to seek the leader ship of the National Grange rather than any honors the Maine Democrats can give him. Frankiyn Ritchie, the well knoWlf actor, denies that he has married a Sidney, Maine, girl. 'Well, he might have done much worse. The Shiloh prophets say that the end of the world will come in about three years. It is not unlikely that the end of Shiloh will come before that time. During January 118,126 lobsters were landed at Portland of which 891 were seized by the wardens. During the same month the number of barrels of dams taken was 3335; number pounds of codfish landed In the county 168,476; rumber of pounds of haddock, 219,568; number of pounds of hake, 35,846; num ber of pounds of all other fish, 55,392.

A woman of ninety-two years, telling of the valentines of her girlhood, says they were always homemade and cut out of very line paper, into exquisite !acelike designs, with the verses writ ten on the unpetforated sections of thf many folded sheets. "Many times a flower was placed in the valentine." she says, "and we thought they were rare treasures, too! We didn't have so many tilings in those days, and we en joyed them more; besides, people were more sincere, and ’married for love and w orked for riches.' St. Valentine was a presbyter of the Church, who suiifrcil martyrdom un dor ill*- Emperor Claudius, about 270 A. I>. An ancient writer says: "We have searched the legend of St. Valentine, hut there is no occurrence in his life ihat could Rive rise to the custom prac tised ou February 11.” Wheatley says: "St. Valentine was a man of most ad mirable parts, and so famous for his love and charity that the custom of choosing valentines upon his festival took its rise from thence." Bourne, says: “It is a ceremony never omitted among the vulgar to draw lots, which they term valentine, on the eve before Valentine Day. The names of a select number of one sex are chosen by an equal number of the oilier, put into some vessel, and. after that, every one draws a name, which for the present is called their valentine, and is looked upon as a good omen for their being man and wife afterward.” In 1178 the custom of choosing valen tines was a sport practised In the homes of the gentry in England. In "The Connoisseur” of 1776 is found the following account of a curi ous species of divination as practised on Valentine Day or eve: “bast Friday was Valentine Day, and the night be fore 1 got five bayleaves aud pinned four of them to the four corners of tnv pillow and the fifth to the middle, and then if I dreamt of my sweetheart, Betty said, we should be married before the year was out. But to make it more sure, 1 boiled an egg hard and took out the yolk and filled it with salt, and when I went to bed ate it, shell and all, without speaking or drinking after it. We wrote our lovers' names upon bits of paper and rolled them up in clay and put them iuto water, and the first that rose was to l>e our valentine. Would you think it. Air. Blossom was my man. X lay abed and shut my eyes all the i morning, till he came to our house; for 1 would not have seen another man be fore him for all the world.” Nervousness and Nsrve. The more nervous a man is, the less nerve he has. That sounds paradoxi cal—but it isn't; for nerve is stamina. Hood's Sarsaparilla gives nerve. It w nee tne whole system, perfects diges tion and assimilation, and Ls therefore the best medicine a nervous person can take. If you get tired easily, mentally or physically, take it—it will do you good. FOR MONEY LOANED Suit Against Reuben Eastman the Steamboat Man. Sister Claims He Borrowed Money— He Says Not So.

Obliged to Live on Bread and Milk but Worth Over $200,000,000. Blood Wine Effects Interesting Cure of Dyspepsia. Few people know that the Standard Oil King, whose wealth is so great that he can’t count it, but estimated to be. somewhere between two and three hun dred millions, has been troubled for years with a serious derangement of the digestive organs, and while he could live, on the best the markets of the world produced he has been compelled to eke out an existence on bread and milk, fils case has recently been brought before the attention of the proprietors of “Blood Wine,’’ who after a careful study of his trouble decided that tlieir remedy would help him; aial several bottle* have just been shipped to the multi-million aire. If Mr. Rockefeller takes “Blond Wine” as directed by the chemist, whose skill figured prominently in compound ing this splendid remedy, we shall un doubtedly hear of his normal functions being restored.

ir JOHJf D. IuXTf UIU.EB. Stomach troubles, weaknesses through* out the digestive organs which cause constipation and upset the equilibrium of the whole system are brought on by irregular meals, imprudent eating ana drinking, and a lack of tlio proper nour ishment for the organs which secrete the gastric juices and make assimilation of the food possible. Some discretion should be exercised where stomach trouble is apparent, which if done and directions followed in using “Blood Wine.” a permanent cure is almost sure to follow. “Blood Wine” makes diges tive fluids. It supplies the missing some thing in the stomach that aids the diges tion. It will overcome sick stomach, nausea, vomiting, help you to retain your food, and give yon a good appetite. It extracts the nourishment from the food and turns it into flesh, tissues, membranes, nerves and muscles. It will cure in a reasonable time old cases of constipation and givo the bowels a free easy action at regular periods. “Blood Wine” contains no wine or opiates. •■I sat at my desk all day and for twenty-five rears was troubled with constipation. My bowels would not more except by IIU and starts and my breath and saliva threw off an awful odor; div face burned, eves ached and I had a dra need-out feeling all the time. Regular medi cal aid failed to produce but temporary relief. With some prejudice I tried ‘Blood Wine.’ One bottle helped me. I then bad mom faith In it and got another bottle. Bv using a little common sense in my mode of living and the use of four bottles l effected s tboroegb enre and now I am actually a different, practically new, man.

Eagerly the Journal readers scan its columns for news of the electric roads that are being, or are to be, built in the State. Great has been the change in railroad transportation, not only in the discovery of electricity as a motive power, but in the application bf steam power, since the days of Stevenson. Charles H. Bryant of H. Co., a vet eran of the 4th Massachusetts cavalry, is a son of Gridley Bryant, the civil engineer who was in charge of the building of the first railroad in the United States, that from the Quincy Massachusetts granite quarries to the wharves at Milton. Charters for rail roads are now granted with no opposi tion whatever, unless it is that of com peting lines but then, says Mr. Bryant, although the road was only three miles in length, it was only after a long, hard struggle with opposition from nearly all classes that a charter for the road was obtained. That the road, under the superintendency of Mr. Bryant's father, was built ’pon honor is evidenced by the fact that it has been in existence until very recently. For the honor of having the first railroad within its borders, Maine is a close second to Massachusetts, the Veazie railroad from Bangor to Old town, claiming second place, but to what uses has this roadbed been put. Parts of it now form city streets, and a considerable section of it is utilized by a Bangor bicycle club for a path to its club house. SOUTH GARDINER.

Something That Will Do You Good. Wo know of no way In which we can be of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we.want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best reme dies on the market for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup! We refer to Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. We have used It with such good results in our family so long that it has become a household necessity. By its prompt use we haven’t any doubt but that It has time and again prevented croup. The testimony Is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, always keep it in their homes as a safeguard against croup.—Camden (S. C.)
