Prince Meets Anna on Board Ship ...Cordial Greetings. Naples, April 24 Madame Anna Gould, formerly Countess De Castel lano, arrived liere today from New York on board the steamer Frlederich Iter Gross and was met in the harbor by Prince Helie De Sagan, to whom she is reported to be engaged. When the steamer came into the harbor, the prince was one of the first men to. get on board. He rushed to Madame Gould's eabin, met her at the door, lifted his hat and kissed her hand. The prince was much annoyed by the presence of reporters and refused to be Interviewed. The tutor of Madame Gould’s children, however, was more accessible and in a bi n I' interview said: "Best assured, the marriage will oc cur, but nobody can say when or where, and I am not in u position to ask. My conviction rests on what. I have seen and heard from Madam Gould. 1 am sure it is a true love match, based on reciprocal esteem.” I'rino De Sagan was greatly an noyed at the crowd of reporters and finally turned to Captain Bleeker, tin* commander of the Friederich Der Grosse, and begged him in German to make the reporters keep away. After Madame Gould and the prince had been sometime in conversation, the entire party, accompanied by the pro prietor of the hotel where rooms have been engaged for Madame Gould, laud ed In a special launch and took an au tomobile from the dock to the hotel. Madame Gould was quite pair-, but smiling and apparently contented. Before leaving the ship. Prince De Sagan and Madame Gould had a long conversation in the ladies’ saloon.

MANUEL WILL PLAY Portugal’s Ruler to Settle to Tune ot $750,000 For Jewels Sold by Carlos lo Meet Claim of Creditors. His Investigation Proves Truth of Republican Charges. Lisbon, April 24.—When King Miguel was deposed as ruler pf Portugal in 1834, the crown jewels, valued at $2. OIW.OIHI, were confiscated and deposited in the Hank ol' Portugal as the prop erty of the state. Recently the Repub lican press has charged that a large portion of these jewels have been sold without the consent of Parliament to meet the expenses of the royal house. King Manuel thereupon ordered an inventory made and it proved that jewels to the value of $7f>H,OOo were missing. Furthermore the administra tor of the royal house declared that the government, which at that time was controlled by the Rotative” par ties,1 had consented to their removal. The governor of the Rank of Portugal admitted that the sale had been made upon the urgent demand of King Car los, who desired U> meet certain press ing debts of the royal household in order to avoid a scandal. As soon as these facts had come to light, King Manuel summoned the min ister of finance and announced iiis in tention of personally refunding the value of the missing jewels to the royal treasury. The attitude of the young King in this matter ltas evoked universal admiration, even among the Republicans.

Lively Meeting of Lay Conference— Three Deacons Admitted—Bishop’s Lecture—Berlin, N.H„ For 1909, Friday, the third day of the 84th Maine Methodist conference, was the busiest yet. Business sessions filled the forenoon and afternoon, with a side feature in the form of the conference of the laymen in the Penney Memorial church, and the day concluded with the groat lecture by Bishop Hamilton in the evening. Rev. Charles Par sons of Portland, Rev. U. P. Holt of Bath, Hon. Charles A. Tilton of South Portland and Samuel Vose of Madi son were elected as Maine’s four dele gates lo the General Methodist con ference at Baltimore in May, with Rev. H. I'). Dunnack ol Augusta, Rev. John it. Clifford of Gardiner. Warren W. Co'e of Portland and L>r. Ft. J. Roberts of Augusta os the four alternates. In the forenoon three young men were ad mitted to the conference as deacons. Another important piece of business was the selection of Berlin, N. Ii., as the place for the next conference. The business sessions will continue today, and oil Sunday there will be meetings at City hall in the forenoon and even ing with distinguished speakers at both. The conference will hold its clos ing session Monday morning when the appointments will h announced. Friday Forenoon. The church was Idled Friday hire noon with a larger gathering than at any earlier morning session of the week. The early devotional service was led by Rev. Felix Powell of Ber lin, N. H., with prayers by Rev. T,. 11 Bean of Kennebunkpnrt and Rev. A. W. Pottle of Buckfield. At It the business session was called to order by Bishop Hamilton and after the records of Thursday's session had been read by Secretary Andrews the conference at once settled down to the many business -matters of the day. A committee consisting ol Rev. J. II. Roberts of Fairfield, Rev. F. R. Hay ward of Auburn and Rev. J. F. Haley of Portland was appointed to arrange an entertainment plan for tbe 1903 con ference. Rev. 1>. B. Holt of Bath spoke about the annuity plan of raising a special insurance fund for aged ministers and it was voted that tbe lay conference be asked to endorse the plan, but said there was no objection for this fund during the next few years, it was also voted, upon motion of Air. Holt, that the lay conference be requested to appoint two laymen lot each district to act with the presiding elders in an advisory capacity regard ing the appropriation of missionary money and to plan on getting more money for missionary purposes. The bishop showed tile difficulties of this plan, but said there was no objection to having advica given on these mat ters. It was voted, upon motion of Rev. William Wood of Bridgton, that a spe cial collection be taken in all the churches of the conference upon the last Sunday of June for the benefit of ti e church at Bucklield. Rev. William g; .Tones of Woodfords spoke in behalf of ilie Washington avenue church of Dcering which has been having assis tance from the Church Aid society. At 10 O’clock came the important and impressive ceremony of the admission of three young men to the conference with deacons orders. These were Weston P. Holman, Charles t. Spear and Charles O. Perry. These young men have completed the studies of the first two years. After two years more they will be ordained as elders of the church, in the meantime continuing their pastorial work. They were asked to leave the room while reports were made upon each of them by Ur. I.eilch of the examining board, by the presiding elders and by the committee mi conference relations. In each case ttie reports were wholly satisfactory. Their tank in their studies has been high and Hie recommendations for th.ir admission were most cordial and complimentary. It so happens that etch of the three districts are represented by the candidates. After the unanimous vote of admis sion they ware called to the front of the church. The gathering arose and joined in singing ‘T Have a Charge to Keep.” Prayer was offered by Rev. William S. Jones of Wood fords and the rules of qualification and work were read by Prof. C. W. Ris chell of Boston University. Then Bishop Hamilton addressed the candi dates with most impressive words as to Hie importance of their calling and the significance of their admission as deacons of the groat Methodist church. He dwelt upon the dignity of the ministry and the glory of the faith they arc to preach. “You must be manful men,” he said, “and use tact and common sense in dealing with men. A Christian minister must have worldly wisdom. But first of all he must have perfect love for God and for his fellow men.” P.ishop Hamil ton took up in turn the 19 questions asked of candidates for admission, commenting upon each in {Humiliat ing fashion with apt illustrations and pertinent epigrams. It was in sub-1 stance an hour's sermon, and to the gathering which crowded the church it was one of the liest things of the week. The 19 questions were then asked and answered and the three young men were in turn admitted as deacons and elected as members of the Maine conference. Three local preachers, C. F. N’ilsen of Berlin. N. H., Robert M. Pierce oT Portland and George Ingrain of New Held, were elected to local dea cons orders. The matter of the election of two delegates to the general conference at Baltinmn in May was then in order. Rev F. A. Beit eh of Skowhegari, Rev. Ci. A. Martin of Rurpford Falls, Rev. A. A. I.ewis of CJorham, Rev. A. S. Ladd of Ogilnciuit and Rev. J. H. Rob erts of Fairfield were named as tellers to collect the ballots. No nomina tions were made, and when tlie blank slips were distributed the members wrote their choice upon the slips which were at once collected. The first ballot resulted as follows: Whole number of votes S9 Necessary for a choice 45 Rev. C. F. Parsons, Portland. 58 Rev. H. K. Dunnaek, Augusta 31 Rev. D. B. Holt, Bath 28 Rev. J. R. Clifford, Gardiner 14 Rev. C. W. Rradlee, Watervilie 11 Rev. W. F. Berry, Kent's Hill 9 About a dozen others were given one or two votes each. Mr. Parsons hav ing the necessary majority was de clared elected and another ballot was taken for ihe second delegate. With out waiting to learn the result of this second ballot the conference at 12.15 adjourned for dinner. While the tellers were counting the votes Prof. C. W. Rischell and Prof. Hewitt, representing respectively Boston University and Wesleyan Uni versity, were introduced and addressed the conference briefly. Prof. Rischell spoke especially of the theological de partment of Boston University which lias now about 200 students. Prof. Hewitt brought the greetings of the Connecticut college in which Maine Methodists are always interested. Prof. Hewitt is a Maine boy, and it is an interesting coincidence that tie was a classmate of Rev. Mr. Dunnaek at Bowdoin in the class of 1897. He is !he son of the late Rev. Hosea Hewitt, who was long a member of the Maine Methodist conference, and for several vears has been professor of Greek at Wesleyan. Friday Afternoon. The first thins on the program yes terday afternoon was the annual meet ing of tlie laymen of the eonferenee. This was held in the vestry of the new Penney Memorial church on Grove street and was called to order at 1 o'clock. The laymen of the conference meet for only one afternoon, while the ministers keep in session for a week, but they made the session a busy one while it lasted. Hon. Waldo Pettengill of Kumford Falls was elected president of the conference and W. D. Hutchins of Augusta secretary. The committee on credentials, G. A. Russell of Read field, E. R. Drummond of Waterville and W. M. Miles of Lisbon, reported 83 delegates present. As there are about 100 churches in the whole con ference, each being entitled to one del egate, the representation was a large one. There were also present about as many spectators as there were voting members. Rev. D. R. Holt of Bath brought to the meeting several matters which had been acted on in the ministerial conference and the lay conference promptly and unanimously endorsed each of them. One of these was the plan of raising $1 per member for the special annuity fund for aged minis ters. and another was for the advisory committee of laymen to join the pre siding elders in distributing the mis sionary money. Various memorials and petitions to the general conference, sent to this conference from other states, were re ferred to a committee on resolutions with Mr. Everett of Portland as chair man. Tlie matter in which there was the greatest interest was the election of two lay delegates to the general con ference in Baltimore. A different plan was followed here than in the minis (Continned on Page Eight.) 60TH CONGRESS, Over 1000 Pensions Bills Passed by the House. Senate Adopts Simmons Res olution For Inland Waterway. Senator Hale Thinks the Navy Is Growing Fast Enough. ■Washington, April 24.—The business of the House proceeded today at a rapid gait, notwithstanding the Demo crats forced six roll calls. Over 1000 pension bills were put through, the largest batch of the session. A bill was passed providing for the protection of life on navigable water during regatta and marine parades. The Uurleson resolution demanding the report of the commissioner of cor porations on the causes of lluctuations in cotton, was debated at length. The vote on that measure will be taken tomorrow. No opposition to the reso lution developed. THE INLAND WATERWAY. Senate Adopts Simmons Resolution for $100,000 for Preliminary Work. Washington, April 24.—The Senate today adopted Senator Simmons reso lution appropriating $100,000 for a sur vey and examination for a continuous inland waterway from Boston, Mass., to Wilmington, N. C. A similar reso lution introduced by Rep. Moore of Pennsylvania is now before the House and the indications are that favorable action will be had in that body. The resolution authorizes the secretary of war to cause a survey to be made for a continuous waterway by the route deemed most available from Boston, Mass., through Cape Cod, thence by Long Island sound and the approaches to New York City to Baritan bay across the state of New Jersey to the Delaware river, through the states of Delaware and Maryland to Chesapeake bay, through the Sounds of Virginia and Nortli Carolina down the coast and the Cape Fear river to Wilming ton. Estimates of co»;'. are to be sub mitted for a minimum depth along the entire route of 1G feet or more as may be required for commercial, naval or military purpose, and a report is to be made upon the desirability of utilizing any existing public or private canal and the probable cost of acquiring the same. One hundred thousand dollars is appropriated to carry out the pro visions of the resolution. THE NAVAL BILL. Senator Hale Says Navy Is Growing As Fast As Is Necessary. Washington, April 24.—Tin; debate or, the proposition of Senator Pyles of Washington to increase the number of battleships authorized in the naval appropriation mill from two to four was today opened by Senator Hale who submitted a statement of the naval es tablishment already provided for, which he said would permit a fleet us large as that now making its way up the Pacific coast and leave a larger fleet for the Atlantic coast. There had been authorized, he said, including the authorizations of tho pending bill. 21 battleships and a great many cruisers, many of them as largo as battleships. “I do not think,” said Mr. Hale, “that senators and representatives have appreciated these facts. We arc not compelled to build another great fleet in order to have protection eith er on the Pacific or the Atlantic.” Senator Paeon asked Senator Halo if he had any positive knowledge that tho fleet now in the Pacific was to bo sent around the world, and Mr. Halo replied that he had no direct and posi tive information, but from the legisla tion that had been recommended ho was sure the world was preparing to encircle the globe. Senator Pyles based his contention in favor of four battleships on the possi bility of war with Japan. If, he de clared. was should come, our western coast would be found unprotected by battleships. Hence, he concluded that the time had come not for war but for such measures as would insure secur ity and peace. Mr. Hale said that legislation had be»n recommended “ns being sultablo and essential to maintain our rank anii dignity in view of the fact that the feet is to visit Asiatic ports, per haps Africa, the Mediterranean and Koropcan ports.” "While I do not know,” he said, “that it has conflrmatively been stated that, the fleet Is to circuit the globe, I have no doubt In my mind that that Is (Continued on Page Two).

J do not know that any senator has been consulted about this* plan and I do not complain of it, but X can say I have no authoritative information and have been in no con sultation as to what shall be done with the fleet." Again replying to an inquiry. he said that the President as eommander in-chief of the navy had command of til® fleet and might order it where he would in the absence in the law ami regulations, but of course Congress, if it desired could regulate the control of the fleet. He continued: “I do not sec all the advantages of the cruipe seen by the secretary of the navy and the President, but I have never taken the view that sending the fleet around the world is usurpation and I can see some benefits from it in the way of disciplining the fleet. think the fleet is going around the ■world and I wish it Ood speed. Imping that we will get out of the experiment without any complications. I do not fear the remotest probability or possi bility of war between any country and the United States. For these reasons 1 amable to possess my soul in peace about the mission of the fleet and free my thought by day and my dreams by night from apprehensions in that re gard.” The question of the President's au thority to send the fleet abroad precip itated a debate in which Senators Cui b'-rson. Bacon. Kaynor and Hale took part. Ba.on -suggested that when it came to sending such a fleet abroad the President was going very far in the xereise ot his power under the Constitution. T.odge scouted the idea that tin. President exceeded his authority in pending the fleet on its mission. That always has been done by Presidents. h> said, the only difference in this case being that the fleet is a large one. CAPITAL JOTTINGS.

Douglass, who boards with Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Riggs, is very low. The Whist party held at the Grange hall by the Village Improvement So ciety was a great success. Over $3ft was realized and another gathering will be held at the same place in the near fu ture. Although the Improvement So ciety has not been in existence a great while, the effect of its labors are to be seen about the village. Through its exertions a graveled sidewalk has been built from F. 1. Brown's store to the Judge Bean place, a distance of one half a mile, and several street lamps have been erected. W. II. Hunt and his road crew are repairing the road near the village schoolbouse by hauling on a liberal dialing of gravel from Lew Morrow’s sand bank. It has heen a good many years since the roads in this village proper have received much attention, i but the piece of state road constructed by Road Commissioner Brown of last year and the continuation of that work by Commissioner Hunt of the present year, is a marked improvement to the highway.

Those Who Have Used Pe-ru-na Are the Only Ones Who Really Know Many a matron has lengthened the days of her comely appearance by taking Peruna. To be beautiful, the body must be kept clean internally as well as externally. Peruna produces clean mucous membranes, the basis of facial symmetry, and a clear, healthy complexion. lMRS.GEO.CWORSTELL.il ^IMRS.O.D.ROBINSON ±J& MISS NETTIE E.BOGARDUS Internal Catarrh. Mrs. George C. AVorstell, 11 River Road, Clarksburg, IV. Va., writes: “I trust that no one will think from this that I want niy name in public for any cause only to let sufferers know where they may iind relief from many ailments. “I can truly say 1 have been much benefited by the use of Peruna. I feel better than I have for two years. It is the best medicine that I know for internal catarrh. “1 have taken medicine from the doctors and found no relief; but when I began taking Peruna I could see that before I .had finished taking the first bottle it was doing me good.” Pe-ru-na Tablets. For two years Dr. Ilartinan and his assistan ts have incessantly labored to create Peruna in tablet form, and their strenuous labors have just been crowned with success. People who object to liquid medicines can now secure Peruna tablets. Kach tablet is equivalent to one average dose of Peruna. Pe-ru-na Prolonged Her Life. i[ Mrs. O. D. Robinson, 43 St. Felix Street, Brooklyn, “I have taken Peruna and it did me more good t X. Y., writes: S good than all my two years’ treatment by special physicians. I can really say that I feel like another person. No more swollen feet and limbs. No more bloating of the abdomen No more shortness of breath. No more stiff and sore joints. You have no idea what your treatment has done for me. It certainly has prolonged my life and made a new woman of me. “0, such a blessing I have received through your kindness, doctor, and the assistance of the medicine which you have so kindly prescribed. I am able to work since I began your treatment, but before I was not able to help myself, much less work for anyone else. All praise is due to Dr, Hartman and his treatment.” My Sister Advised Me to Try Peruna. I Took Your Treatment and My Appetite Returned Speedily. I Gained Strength and Flesh and Am in Perfect Health. I Am So Thankful Your Medicine Has Done Me So Much Good. —So Says Miss Julia Butler, Of Appleton, Wii. Sick Headache. Miss Nettie E. Bogardus, B. V. D. SI, Westfield, N. Y., writes: “I have been a great snfferer from sick headaches, bat am now entirely free from that trouble. I have not felt so well in ten years as I do now. “I would recommend Peruna and Manalin to all sufferers. I will say, God bless Dr. Hartman and his wonder ful remedies.” Weak, No Appetite. Mrs. Ruth B. Brent, Holmes, 111., writes: “I was in poor health three years ago. I kept getting worse, and I finally was so weak that I could not sit np all day. My feet and hands were always cold. I had no appetite. “I consulted one of the best doctors, who said I could not be cured. I wan nervous, my heart would flutter, and I had a pain in my left side and also hat} chronic constipation. “I got a bottle of Peruna and one of Manalin and wrote to you for advice. While under your treatment I gained three pounds a month. “I took several more bottles of Pernna and now I am well. I am able to do all my housework—cooking, washing, iron ing, baking and mending. “Everybody compliments me on look ing so much better than I used to, and now I have a girl baby six months old, as fat as she can be. “She is what I call a Peruna baby, for I know if it had not been for Peruna she would not be here.” For Suffering Women. Miss Esther Lee, 302 Madison Street, Topeka, Kas., Secretary Triple Tie Social Club, writes: “Fourteen months ago I began to be troubled with internal catarrh, which left me pale, weak and nervous. I de cided to give Peruna a trial. “To my great relief I found that my general health improved. I kept grow ing stronger, and within three months I was in my usual normal condition. I cannot recommend Peruna too highly to suffering women.” CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

Canada has put a stun to the in discriminate emigration to the Domin ion by charitable organizations of the surplus population of London and other Knglish cities. During the past few weeks, the Canadian immigration commissioner in London refused to give his sanction, which is required by the steamship companies for the emigration of 50 persons whom the I Church Army proposed to send over1 and he lias been taken to task bv the I head of that organization for his ac-! lion. His reply was that Canada would accept only those whose fitness 1 as settlers he is assured of. The report of 32 new cases of; typhoid fever in Boston Friday, with four deaths within the past 244 hours, I w.iu ,1 seem to indicate that the epi- j domic which has swept over the city the past few weeks has not been as yet cheeked. In fact the authorities Friday announced that the sale of milk by one big contracting firm in Kast Boston had been stopped, as it was found the milk was coming from the same snore- that started the epidemic ir. Jamaica Plain last month. Up to tonight, the total number of cases re ported since January was 599, or 20 more eases than the number for the entire I- months of last year. The j number of typhoid fever deaths for the same period has been 2S. Fracti eally all the eases and deaths have ueourred within the past two months, dating from an epidemie which started in Jamaica Plains, where two weeks after the lirst eases were discovered, it was learned a milkman had died of typhoid fever, having been suffering with, the disease for some time while about his work. The northwest division (of Man-j j Chester.

In that year jlr. Churchill brilliantly wrested tile seat, front Mr. Joynson-Hieks, I'nionist. his successful opponent. The defeat of Mr. Churchill is a crushing blow to the prestage of the government and the young and confident minister which is j bound to have a marked influence on several other impending bye-elections. There will be no difficulty in fliuii’Vgj for Mr. Churchi'l a safe seat e|s I where. Tile Liberals may derive from their defeat what consolation is pos- sible from the fact that prior to 1906 the northwest division seat was held consistently by the Conservatives. It is reported that the Liberal leaders at Dundee Friday night sent a tele gram to Winston Spencer Churchill inviting him to contest the seat in Parliament made vacant by the eleva tion to the peerage of Right Hon. Ed mund Robertson. Liberal, who has held the seat since 1885. The annual inspection of Co.

Gardiner’s Long Felt Want Likely Now to Be Filled. Oardiner Is in all probability to have In the near future a new amusement hall and thus a long-felt want which has existed since the destruction ol the Coliseum will be filled. The deal was closed Friday whereby the lot and buildings on Church street owned by A. T. Smith and long occupied by him as a carriage factory have been, acquired in the interests of a syndicate of local business men towards whose formation into a corporation steps have already been taken. The plan contemplated by the parties interested in the purchase of the prop erty Is the building of an amusement hall upon this location, which joins the City hall property and Is a very de sirable and sightly location. Such a hall has long been needed by the city since the burning of the Coliseum as the city has no hall sufficiently large for conventions and other big gather ing:; of a public nature. The plans for the new hall have nftt yet been decided upon, but it is expect ed that the new building will be of sufficient size to cover the entire lot. Plans for the building will probably be drawn at once and It is hoped that work will begin at an early date upon the new building. Local Notice. Stenographic, .work, type wir-i|linSr' copying, etc..

TIBBITTS INVESTMENT SECURITIES Fourth Floor—Monks Building 35 Congress St., Boston, Mass. MR. BARNARD’S TALK NO. 4 My Greed I BELIEVE in the SQUARE DEAL in the Realm of Finance. I believe in the Sacrcdncss of the Relationship between Broker and Client. A relationship that should be as close and even closer than that between doctor and patient, lawyer and client. I believe in CO-OPERATION; that the man who helps by his means his broker to finance a proposition, is entitled to as much consideration as the broker who secures the proposition to be financed. I believe that the AMERICAN DOLLAR ought to earn in 365 days more than 3 or 4% and that those who pay that amount for its service and claim that it is all that it is worth, are not be lievers in or Dractisers of the SQUARE DEAL. I believe that an Advisor to Investors should see to it that his business is not alone to make money, but to gain the confidence and respect of his clients. I believe that the broker should practice what he preaches and should present fact, not fiction, to his clients; that he should build for the future not the present. I believe in PRINCIPLE not POLICY, in the Realm of Finance, and I welcome the dawning of the day when through sheer shame the Fakeir Grafter, and Unscrupulous ones of earth shall fold their tents like the Arab and steal silently away never more to trouble the credulous and unwary. To this end, after stating my beliefs, I wish to say that I never have and never will ask my clients to invest their money in any proposition that I am not ready and willing to put my own money in; that no proposition will be offered to my clients until I have personal ly investigated and carefully examined the proposition I am about to finance; that unless the proposition is a PROVEN or PRODUCING one; that unless the MANAGEMENT is clean, honest and capable, I will not put a dollar of my money in the proposition nor ask my clients to do what I would not do myself.

Features of the Day’s Dealings In All The Leading Stocks. New Yoik, April 24.-A further substan tial rise in prices occurred iri the stock market today and tne volume ot business at tb. same time expanded materially. Most of ibis id's achieved in the first half f f li e bav, the sales to noon rising to near hi If a million shares, v. hicli is well above ij dailv average of totals for some time past. There was sonie lull in the later market both in activity and in the tat*, of tb1' advance. 'I he lailure of an important Stock Exchange house, an nounced at the outset of tlie- tlading, caused no interruption to the advance and, in fact, turtle red it owing to the largo outstanding short contracts which remained to be covered for 'leeount of t lie failed boils'- which lias been noted for its espousal of the bear side of the market for mai y months pa t. Tin* number of shates bought today for account of the failed firm were said to amount to many thousands anil the sus pension was pronounced the most impor tant bear failure that has occurred lor many veats. This was an immediate in fluence in prom pi my heavy covering of short contracts in other quarters and tile driving in of the bears b came a. prom inent factor in the dal's advance of prices Seme of the heaviest covering was in I'nited States Steel, but that stock was lu Id back during all the eatly part of the sessi n and rose fractionally over last nicht only late in the dry.

A nmnhei of other prominent stocks approached or exceeded the high prices of' March, which were the pre vious high prices for the year. The lull in the late market came with the publi cation of the forecasts of tir- week's rash changes, which took into account an mit gor of gold amounting to $r>.riOO,fOO.

BOSTON-IDAHO MINING COMPANY AS A SAFE INVESTMENT AS A SAFE SPECULATION Tho past and present producing record of the properties of The Boston-ldnho Mining Company is substantial proof as to the safety of the investment. On Oct r.th 1907. the assets of the Company showed a gain that gave the stock a book value of more than *9 30 a share Since that date there has been no decrease of assets, but a constant and daily increase of ore values which necessarily greatly increase the book value of the stock above what it was on Oct. 15th. 1907. This being a fact, the speculative features surrounding Boston-Idaho Mining Company’s stock are all on the profitable side of the investment. Rvery fair and honest means conceivable to human knowledge has been inaugurated by the Company for the absolute protection of the stockholders against loss of principle. A little history of the production of the Company's properties is worthy of consideration. The eleven claims first purchased by The Boston-Idaho Mining Company, and which were known as the Ontario Croup of Mines, had a producing record of more than $1,000,000 from their seven producing tunnels Another property of one single claim, which the Company later took on, has no record of production, as it is an undeveloped claim. The ores produced from the eleven claims are silver-lead, arid the high values run il% per cent, lead, 106 ounces silver, to 72% per cent, lead, 127 8-10 ounces silver per ton, yielding an abundance of lower grade ore, which concentrates less than four into one, making it a very profitable product. The eleven developed claims have now eight tunnels, and the Company is producing from three. The oilier five tunnels on this group of claims will be put into operation during the coming summer. The present equipment on the property includes a 30 ton daily Capacity Mill, Miners’ Houses, Foreman’s house, Mess and Bunk House, completely furnished. Storehouse, well supplied. Stable, Blacksmith-shop, Ore Wagons, Horses, Ore Cars, Tracks, Miners' Tools and Miners’ supplies. The present mill is inadequate, and it has been determined by the Company to install a new 100 ton daily capacity mill of the most modern and up-to-date type. The new mill will be so adapted that it will treat 100 tons of zinc-lead-silver ore, or 100 tons of lead-silver ore per day. It is expected that this mill will be Installed and running before the end of the summer, together with the construction of tramways for the transportation of ore direct from the workings to the mill, reducing to a minimum the costs of handling the ore. The present system of steam power will be replaced by water power, doing away with the present cost of fuel. These improvements will he made and completed without incurring a single dollar of indebtedness, asit has been, and will continue to be, a s» l rule of the Company not to permit any debts to accrue, but to continue to lollow out the rule of paying all bills promptly on the 10th day of each month. The Boston-Idaho Mining Company has continued to operate its mines daily, notwithstanding the past financial depression. The Company has never incurred one dollar of indebtedness. The Company, by a vote of its stockholders, lias recently acquired the l.ucky Boy Group of Mines consist ing of Fight Claims, making a. total of twenty claims owned and controlled by the Company. The l.ucky Boy Group is a. well known producer, and Iras the record of producing and shipping, in the season of 1906, under a lease 2000 tons of 40 per cent, zinc ore per month, besides silver-lead contents. This property lias two tunnels, both in ore. There are, on tlie dumps of this property, not less than C000 tens of lower grade ore. This ore carries from 3 per cent, to 6 per emit. iron, ami, from test runs made by the Company on the low grade ore, it gave zinc values of 52 per cent. The new mill to be installed by the Company will eradicate all excess of iron, and will make a clean zinc-lead-silver product, it being a well known fart that the Company operating the property under a lease in 190G shipped 2000 tons of 40 per cent zinc ore per month, besides its lead-siiver contents, and paid the owner a 40 per cent, royalty, the operating Company’s net profits should not have been less than $17,000 00 per month, or a total of $204,000.00 for twelve months, notwithstanding the fact that the lower grade ore was left on the dump, as the Company had no mill on its property to concentrate this ore. The Boston-Idaho Mining Com pany will take the values out of the low grade ores by concentration, as well as ship the high grade product. This should result in a material increase to the earnings. The Company expects, by middle summer, to lie producing from the ten tunnels now on the properties, and it Is reasonable to believe that, with the completion of its 100 ton mill, the earnings of the Company will be in creased to at least $300,000 a year, CO per cent, on $500,000 capitalization. With the completion of these improvements, application will lie made by the Company for the listing of the stock on the Stock Exchanges, and it is the opinion of those who are in a position to judge, that the stock will command in the open market a figure several times in excess of its present price $1.00 a share. The Boston-Idaho Mining Company does not propose to attempt to make an open market for its securities until the properties are thoroughly equipped with the most modern and up-to-date machinery. This it is expected, will he completed by very early fall. It is the policy of the Company to earn and pay not less than 20 per cent, per annum on the par value of its stock, until the protection fund lias been created equal to the outstanding capitalization of the Company. Thereafter tlie earnings will be paid in the form of increased dividends to the stockholders. An initial dividend at the rate of 2i> per cent, per annum lias been paid, and with the resumption of the smelters, shipments of ore by the Company will be resumed and dividends continued uninterruptedly. It can be conservatively said that the properties of The Boston-Idaho Mining Company could worthily stand a capitalization of $2,500,000, but The Boston-Idaho Mining Company lias no watered stock to draw away ilit* profits from the investor who pays his money for the securities he buys,. The capitalization of The Boston-Idaho Mining Company ($500,000) is a modest and honest one. We can unhesitatingly say that it is the modestly and honestly capitalized companies that bring to the investors sub stantial returns upon their money invested, and large profits in the way of increased market value of the securi ties. The capitalization of The Boston-Idaho Mining Company" is about one-fifth of what the properties could stand if the Company was promoted in the manner usually adopted by promoters. The Boston-Idaho Mining Company is a stockholders’ Company pure and simple. Their interests are dominant. The Boston-Idaho Mining Company can pay far greater dividends on its modest capitalization of $500,000 than other companies having a capitalization of two or three million dollars. The affairs of The Boston-Idaho Mining Company are conducted on thorough business principles, no leak ages, or extravagances being indulged in. The mines are operated in tlie interest of its stockholders. The physi cal condition of the Company's properties is sound, the financial condition of the Company is safe. The assets exceed the capitalization. We unhesitatingly recommend the purchase of Boston-Idaho Mining Company's stock at the present price, $1.00 a share, feeling assured that purchases made at tjiis figure will, within the next year, show extraordinary profits. The Company Invites the closest investigation of its properties and management. L. DIAMOND COMPANY, 1 137-38-39 OLD SOUTH BUILDING, BOSTON, MASS apr25d2t Augusta Market. Augusta, Mf., Apr. 24, 1!*0S.

It is safe to assume that I it deals with “high life.” The smallest thing about Judge Gray or Delaware appears to be his Presi dential boom.

One thing is certain no Merry Widow will ever catch a Merry Bachelor on l’ Its own merits—not if he sees it first. Until the conventions have met and done their work the baseball heroes will continue to occupy the center ol the stage. i| Tammany, after a long period of doubt, has finally settled down upon W. J. Bryan us its candidate for the Presidential nomination. ;j Prince de Hagan complains that American reporters hunted him. This is ungracious coming from a man who is himself on a hunting trip. ll The Mayor of Cleveland is fully con vinced that the wrong Johnson is be ing mentioned in connection with the Democratic Presidential nomination. j!1 I I' I III I Mr. Bryan is certainly Indebted for the timely assistance of his ‘friend Lewis Nixon in patching matters up with Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall. Mr. Bryan declares that his income is overestimated. It is doubtless true that he does a considerable amount of talking for which lie receives no pay. The attendance at the big ball games Is not showing any after affects of t he late financial stringency. This lias been a record-breaking season to date. A Chicago woman got drunk as an object lesson to her husband. He was no shocked by her disgusting exhibi tion that he immediately secured a di vorce from her. Minnesota Republicans, who con stitute a vast majority of the voters of that state when it conies to Na tions* Issues, are enthusiastic sup porters of Secretary Taft.

I "t b I jjj I I' i

I I'crta in Democratic newspapers have “lapsed Into silence"—so far as criticism of Mr. Bryan is concerned— since 11k “peerless leader" completed Ills deal with Tammany Hall. The country generally will rejoice in the news that ex-Presldcnt Cleve land's sickness is not as serious as it was at llrst reported, and that tlie chances arc good for his speedy recov ery. _______ "We are part of the divine nebulae and can't go wrong." says Elbert Hub hard—still it would scarcely be ad visable to do away with our jails and reformatories at this stage of the world’s progress. V The supporters of Governor John son are determined to prevent an "autocratic convention" at Denver. This is what it will lie. however, and In due time they will all be obliged to "bend the suppliant knee.” The expenditure of the J40,000,000 re cently borrowed by the Pennsylvania railroad will furnish employment to a large army of men. and will be a sub stantial factor in the building up of prosperous business conditions. Governor Johnson's Press bureau declares that there is “no necessity for the ravens of defeat to perch on the banners of Democracy in 1908." That was what Alton B. Parker though in UMM, but. alas! they perched. Tlie Memphis News-Scimitar in formed its readers the other day that "Mel Doak. tlie freak ass of middle Tennessee, has been set to warbling ugain.” It is evident that journalistic ameni ties are somewhat strenuous in that section of the country. George Adc's “College Widow.” with its up-to-date American slang, is proving as bewildering to English au diences as a play full of Cockney English would be to American au diences. People must be familiar with the "atmosphere" to be able fully to appreciate sucli productions. The recent Democratic state conven tion in New York developed many of tlie characteristics of the notorious Democratic state convention held at Springfield, Mass. The signs are multiplying that the national Demo cratic, convention at Denver will not be altogether a love feast. Boss Murphy and Mr. Bryan. Even the most sanguine of Mr. Bryan's opponents recognize the fact that they cannot hope to defeat him in the Denver convention, unless they are able to swing the united delega tions of New York and Pennsylvania against him. The report therefore that Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall, who is conceded to control the New York delegation to the Denver conven tion, has a complete understanding with the Nebraska leader, has given his opponents within his party a very se vere attack of cold feet. It is said that Mr. Murphy has the assurance of Mr. Bryan that the delegates arbitrarily selected at the recent New York State convention will be “recog nized" at the Denver convention as the “regular" delegates from that state. As Mr. Bryan and his friends will organize that convention, and adopt tlie rules undetf which its busi ness will be conducted, it is needless to say that whatever he says about matters of this kind will be final. Naturally Mr. Murphy will recipro cate. lie is said to have assured Mr. Bryan ot the hearty support of prac tically the solid New York delegation. He may conclude, as an act of hu manity, to let out Alton B. Parker: but the others will be brought into the Bryan fold promptly and with a due flourish of trumpets. All this has been settled between Boss Murphy and Mr. Bryan, through the kindly intervention of Mr. Lewis Nixon. It is no wonder in view of this ar rangement that Mr. Bryan returned from his recent trip to New York in an exuberant frame of mind. He had made a deal which insured him the powerful backing of the New York Uelgation at Denver and which ren dered it impossible for any other man to combat his candidacy successfully in the National convention. Mr. Brvan was also cheered by good news from Pennsylvania during his stay at the Hoffman House. “The delegates from Illinois arc practically unanimous for me,” said he, “and ex-Congressman James Kerr of Pennsylvania, who has the latest news lrom his state, says that two thirds of the delegates from the Key stone State are pledged for me. Mr. Guffey, who has been opposed to me right along, lost his district, and Jos eph Hovvley and George A. Gray, the two men chosen from the 30th Dis trict (Guffey’s) are instructed for me.” Some of the Democratic newspaper-, of Maine are supporting the candi dacy of Governor Johnson of Minne sota; but tlie delegates from this State may be depended upon to scramble aboard tlie Bryan band wagon with out delay when they see how the breezes blow at Denver. Germany and the Poles. A striking example of the rough shod methods employed hy monarchies in working out their ends is afforded hy the work which is being accom plished by Chancellor Von Huelow of Germany in effecting the i’russianiza tioi! of that part of Poland which is now included in the Kaiser's empire. The first step in the accomplishment of this result was the passage of a law forbidding the use of the Polish language in any of the public schools. This was resolutely resisted by the people of the districts affected. Op position to it would probably have subsided had not the German govern ment proceeded to other and harsher methods of “benevolent absorption." A few months ago the lteichstug passed a law giving the Prussian au thorities the right to confiscate Polish estates ior the purpose of settling Prussian colonists upon them. Of course provision was made for the re imbursement of their owners but this fact did not relieve the law of its tyrannical features. The estates which were thus subject to seizure by th" government were in most in stances occupied by the descendants of the original Polish owners ami have in most eases been occupied by such descendants for centuries. It would seem as if this high-handed and indefensible measure might well have been the limit of German op pression of the Polisli race, but there was additional trouble in store for fids unfortunate people. In a law whicli has just been passed by the German Reichstag forbidding the use of anything but the German language in meetings through the empire save in those districts where 60 per cent, of the inhabitants speak some other language. Even this exception is limited to a period of 20 years upon the assumption that in that period even the inhabitants of such districts should learn to speak the German language. It is difficult indeed for people living under the broad and tolerant spirit that prevails under a republican form of government to conceive of the harshness of provisions like these when rigidly enforced upon a protesting people. The partition of Poland among the powers was one of the greatest crimes in history, and it would seem as if the German govern ment might well permit time and gen erous treatment to heal the wounds of the people who still cherish their na tional spirit, although they have ceased to have a national existence. Mr. Bryan is now convinced that money is being used to bring about his defeat in the Denver convention. P .ssibly, however, tlie base suspicion is the resulKjbf tlie calamity atmos phere in which he lives, ami moves and iuxs his being. Intellectual dys pepsia, with all its Irritability and suspicion, is the penalty for perpetual ly looking out upon a darkling world. Cheer up, Mr. Br.van! Behind the clouds tlie sun is still shining. Per haps it may not be as bad as you think. It would be something of a task to pry a Democratic leader loose from liis money in order to light a cinch like yours. A Greek prince is said to be in tilis country looking for a job from $15 a week upwards. He certainly looks suspicious. If his title is genuin% he would doubtless be living on the bounty of the Four Hundred and hawking it in tlie rnatrimoniaj oiar-' ket.

This is the way the York Transcript looks at it: “Patriots’ day seems to be an improvement over Fast day, for there are a few patriots left but no farters.” Final papers were passed this week for tlie purchase by tlie Limerick Academy Alumni association from Mrs. Helen M. Fogg of tlie old site of Limerick academy on Baptist Hill. The association will erect a huge granite monument with suitable in scription which will be dedicate! at tlie centennial anniversary of the founding of tile academy in August. The Colby graduates of Houlton en tertained Judge Leslie C. Cornish at tlie library of tlie court house, Monday evening. Tlie organization of a Colby club was tho object of tlie gathering and after some general conversation and many good stories had been told of old Colby days, in which Judge Corn ish and Prof. Knowitou each distin guished himself. Rockland Courier Gazette: A sturt ling incident of the Glover-Wiggin wedding Monday was the crashing en trance of a baseball tiirougii a win dow beneath which stood a table laden with wedding gifts. The table was strewn with shattered glass, but sin gularly enough not one of tlie pres ents was injured. Dreams of future greatness as a community, are being indulged in at present by the residents of the Wash ington county border towns, and, fol lowing several years of doubt and gloom, the visions are particularly pleasing and will be cherished until they are fullilled or dissipated by cold and in sympathetic facts or develop ments. Calais hopes to tecoine an im portant railway center after the C. P. ft. gets from the Maine legislature a charter for its bridge across the St. Croix which will give it a connection with the Washington County railway and thus on to Boston and the United States at large. Calais also hopes to have the shoe business established or. a bigger scale than ever before; to have a free postal delivery after the completion of the new customs house and tile post oifiee, to get a satisfactory contract with the Maine Water Co., during the life of the present city ad ministration. Tlie Bangor Commercial special cor respondent at Washington writes: A bunch of old timers, who gathered in the Republican cloakroeun the either afternoon, fell into reminiscences of the Crisp Congresses and of the late Rep. Charles A. Boutelie of Bangor. It grew out of a discussion of the re cent contretemps between Speaker Cannon and Rep. John Sharp Williams because the speaker adjourned the House, ignoring Mr. Williams’ demand for a roll call. As Maine people will remember, Mr. Boutelie was one of the grand figures of the bloody shirt performance's in the House of Repre sentatives. Those days have gone by now and any Republican, who got up to make a bloody shirt speech would be frowned down by the sentiment on both sides of tile chamber. But 20 or 20 years ago a bloody shirt speech was always in gooJ form and Mr. Boutelie was one of the most capable of orators in that line. His speech, beginning, "What a grand old humbug the Demo cratic party is any way," remains a classic it: that line. As was recalled at this cloakroom gathering, the late Speaker Crisp undertook to adjourn the Democratic House one day, when it seemeu that there was not a Demo cratic majority present. A demand for a roll call from the Republican side was ignored. Speaker Crisr, threw down his gayel and hastened out of the hall. Rep. Boutelie dramatically arose at that juncture, exclaiming: “Run, d— ye, run. I have seen you run before. I saw yoiv running at Shiloh." The Boothbay Register waxes vory sarcastic at those Bath people who opposed the running of the Boston boat direct to Boothbay. Says the Register: "Was there ever such non sense heard before! Bath people in dignant that Boothbay Harbor should dare ask for a chance to liver and grow' If nothing else should stir our people to mighty action, such a demonstration should. That we should ask our just dues makes the big shipping city 'in dignant!" The unfair and selfish cry site is putting up against us seems al most too small to notice. Afier all these years of inconvenience and ex pense ;n loss of time and money our people have endured in having to pass through her precincts before getting to tit is center of the great summer business! Two-thirds of tlio passen gers coming on this line from Boston iiavc had to do this for the past twen ty-live yours, a fact That can be dem onstrated by a perusal of the pas senger agents’ books. What justice is there in now trying to compel that stave of things to continue? We have been remarkably patient and have al ways considered our shipping com hroihers a part of our business com munity. and honestly believe that the extra advantage of travel from this locality rift red by the new arrange ments will bring more business to them than cur. Purely, we shad feel an interest in promoting this if we are only' used rightly in this inaUer. but otherwise, if endeavors are made to block it. Why not give the matter a fair trial and leave to the future to decide which is best?” VOICES OF THE PRESS. Business Improving. (Baltimore American.)

Here nomin ating speeches and seconding speeches were allowd and there was no lack of them. Some were long and some were short, but all were earnest and all were full of very warm praises for the nom inees. The following names were put in nomination: William H. Bower of Auburn, Samuel Vose of Madison, Warren W. Cole of Portland, Dr. E. J. Roberts of Augusta, Hon. Charles A. Tilton of South Portland and Mrs. Anna Onstott of Kittery. It was de cided to vote for the two delegates separately, and the first ballot result ed as follows: Whole number of votes, 76 Necessary for a choice, 39 Charles A. Tilton, South Portland, 31 Warren W. Cole, Portland, 19 E. J. Roberts, Augusta, 12 Samuel Vose, Madison. 6 Wm. H.

Augusta, 17 Wm. H. Bower, Auburn, 9 Warren W. Cole, Portland, 4 Mr. Vose was accordingly declared elected as second lay delegate to the Baltimore conference. Warren W. Cole of Portland and Dr. E. J. Roberts of Augusta were elected alternates. Mr. Cole has served as a general conference delegate am1 Dr. Roberts was an alter nate four years ago. Following the election there was a long and lively discussion over matters reported from the committee on reso lutions. It was voted to endorse the proposition to cut the number of dele gates to the general conference from four to two from each conference. Af ter much debate it was voted to table the memorial regarding the revocation of the time limit on pastorates. T1 discussion was much sharper and more general on these and other matt- rs than any which the ministerial con ference has known this week. Finally at 5.45 the lay conference concluded its work and adjourned. In the meantime there was an inter esting service at the Grec-n street church, where the anniversary of the Preachers’ Aid Society was held. This war called to order at 2.30 o'clock, with Rev. I. Luce of Old Orchard presiding. There was a well-filled church, which became crowded later in the afternoon. There were two very strong addresses, the first by Rev. H. E. Dunnack of Au gusta and the second by Rev. R. H. Schuett of the Chestnut str et church, Portland, who has recently seen trans ferred to this conference from Illinois. Both speakers dwelt with great earn estness upon the need of increasing tno fund whose income goes to the sup port of superannuated ministers, not as a charity but as something earned by the ministers during their active service and as something in the nature of a good Investment by the denomina tion to ensure the securing of strong men for the ministry. At 4 o'clock this meeting was con cluded and the work of the adjourned business session of the forenoon was resumed with Bishop Hamilton in the chair. After the reading of the morn ing records and the announcement that the members of the lay conference would visit the ministerial conference at 9 A. M. Saturday, the result of the morning ballot for the second delegate to Baltimore was announced as fol lows: Whole number of votes, 88 Necessary for a choice, 45 Rev. H. E. Dunnack, Augusta, 38 Rev. D. B. Holt, Bath, 37 Rev. J. R. Clifford, Gardiner, 8 Scattering, 5 A third ballot was then taken, which resulted as follows: Whole number of votes, 71 Necessary for a choice, 36 Rev. D. B. Holt, Bath, 38 Rev. IT. E. Dunnack, Augusta, 28 Scattering, 5 Thus Mr. Holt was declared elected aa the second of the delegates to Balti more, Rev. Mr. Parsons of Lewiston having been chosen in the forenoon as the first delegate. A ballot for two al ternates resulted in the choice of Rev. H. E. Dunnack of Augusta and Rev. J. li. Cliftord of Gardiner. Rev. Felix Powell of Berlin, N. H., addressed the conference and gave it a cordial invitation to hold the 1909 conference with his church, which is a part of the Maine conference though in .aether state. A motion by Rev. Mr. Leitcn to leave the matter to the pre siding elders was voted down, and by an almost unanimous vote and amid much applause Berlin, N. H.. was se lected as the place of the 1909 confer ence. On motion of Presiding Elder Holmes of the Augusta district the conference voted to authorize the trus tees of the Methodist church at King field to dispose of the church property there. At 5.30 the session was adjourn ed to 9 A. M. today. Friday Evening. One of the great events of the con ference week was the Friday evening lecture by Bishop Hamilton on "Some People of Quality at Boston." It was at the Penney Memorial church which was filled to the doors. Mayor Plaisted presided and very gracefully present ed- the speaker of the evening. Bishop Hamilton founded the People’s church in Boston and was for 10 years its p^ptor, and for an hour and a half he gave his audience most delightful per sonal reminescences of the great men of a generation ago in Boston. Emer son,. .AJcatt, Holmes, JJThittler, Bishop Brooks, Longfellow, Lowell, Charles Sumner, Ben Butler, Father Tdylor, Wendell Phillips and others less fam ous but no less Interesting Bostonians of former days were dwelt upon. Bis hop Hamilton knew them and had good stories of them all. The lecture abounded in wit and humor mixed with passages of rare beauty and eloquence. All who heard it will be sure to hear the bishop Sunday fore noon at City hall. Conference Notes. This alternoon, for the only time dur ing the week, women are among the presiding officers and speakers. The-services of Sunday morning and Sunday evening will both be at City liall. Never before in the history of the Maine conference has the presiding bishop had the honor of presenting his brother as one of the speakers. Says the Portland Express: "The splendid Methodist church is having its annual festival at Augusta. The conference is at once a business session of one of the best organised and most potent religious forces in America, and also a season of spiritual uplift and refreshing, which sends the professors of that faith to their home better qualified to understand the problem of life, and better equipped to continue their struggle toward the spiritual, to which the Methodist church points as the common goal of all mankind. In the work of the reclamation of the world from the asserted powers of the various forms of evil, the Methodist church has always taken a front rank It can he depended upon to do glori ous work whenever and wherever the battle for good is raging against the forces of evil. In our own State it may be depended upon to stand as a solid wail against the encroachment of the saloon, whether that force is represented by avowed friends of the liquor traffic or is disguised under the cloak of resubmission and druggists’ laws.” Over c-n a beautiful hilltop in East Readlield, only eight miles from the present meeting place of the Methodist conference, stands the mother church of Maine Methodism. East Keadfield was selected by Jesse Lee, the great Methodist home missionary, as the headquarters for the first Methodist preaching circuit established in Maine. That was in September, 1734, two weeks after bee entered tiie disliiet of Maine and preached at Saco the first Methodist sermon ever delivered in a Maine lommunity. He had been as signed to this territory as a missionary of the New England conference which met in August at Lynn, the most east erly charge then in. the conference. The church there was dedicated Juno 21. 179f>. It has been enlarged and re paired and is in good condition. The New England Methodist conference met with the East Readlield church '.’t-tlrt, 179b the first Methodist conscience held in-tvlaine. A presiding elder, nine minister* of circuits and 936 members conlirinsed Hie Methodist or ganization iii Maine. The business sessions were held in the meeting house and the preaching and exhortation services in t lie open air. The venerable Bishop Asbury preached to 1.S00 people pie assembled in a mowing field, while the saddle horses and an occa sional wagon horse with their equip ment which tile people had used in coming many miles to the conference were scattered through the woods in the vicinity wherever there was room to hitch a horse in the bushes. This church of which all the other Methodist churches in Maine are direct descendants will bo preserved as an historic shrine of the de nomination till, perhaps centu ries hence, she may fall before the ravages of lire or storm. Every year summer visitors to this region visit the spot which has become one of the shrines of Methodism in the world. The memorial service to be held in the church at 2.30 P. M., Sunday, will be presided over by Rev. Sylvester Hooper of Old Orchard. The service wi'l he in memory of Rev. N. D. Sen ter of Westbrook the only member of the conference who died during the year, the wife of Rev. H. A. Pearo of Kezer Falls and the following widows of members of the conference, Mrs. Henry Crockett of Fayette, Mrs. E. F. Blake of Spencer, Wis., Mrs. W. B. Bartlett of Mechanic Falls and Mrs. Hosea Hewitt of South Berwick. There will be singing by the conference quartet. Bishop Hamilton will also speak in regard to the bishops who have died in the four years since the last general conference. Probably the most eloquent of the many speeches made at the conference Do You Open Your Mouth Like a young bird and gulp down what ever food or medicine may be offered you? Or, do you want to know something of tho composition and character of that which you take into your stomach whether as food or medicine? Most intelligent and sensible people now-a-days insist on knowing what they employ whether as food or as medicino. Dr. Pierce believes they have a perfect right to insist, upon such knowledge. So he publishes.Mwaadcast and on each bottle* wrapper, wh atjus'medki nes arc made of ana v?*sifiesjepfh3bT*«(aB> This he feels he can wNJfford to do because the more the ingredients of which his medicines are made are studied and understood the more wiTl their superior curative virtues bp ajrargcrataC Tor the cure of woman’s peculiar weak nesses, irregularities and derangements, giving rise to frequent, headaches, back ache, dragging-down pain or distress in lower abdominal or pelvic region, accom panied, ofttimos, with a debilitating, pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp toms of weakness. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a most efficient remedy. It is equally effective in curing painful periods, in giving strength to nursing mothers and in preparing the system of the expectant mother for baby’s coming, thus rendering childbirth safe and com paratively painless. The "Favorite Pro scription" is a most potent, strengthening tonic to the general system and to the organs distinctly feminine in particular.

We certainly need them, for we all know that one lecture by a capable dermatologist would be more helpful to the complexion than a ton of beauty lotion. MATE 9 No one has other than encouragement for Ml IE L* literary clubs, but we are forced to admit that many, many hours are devoted to looking up the depredations of some ancient Buccaneer, when the time would be worth more if spent in combating the depredations of dandruff germs. NATE 9 tipon this very subject, how many know ill) IE 0* about the dandruff germ and the havoc it creates in a luxuriant growth of hair? It is a de plorable fact that, up to within very recent years, one century after another rolled by without any im portant addition to our knowledge of hair preserva tion. NATE /I Nearly six thousand years ago, or to be Ml IE exact, 4000 B. C., the mother of the Egyp tian King Chata (second king of the lirst dynasty) tried to save the hair of that monarch with a mix ture of dogs’ paws, dates and asses' hoofs, ground up and cooked in oil (Egyptian Papyrus). Similar remedies have been popular ever since. NATE R Just when cantharides took the place of nU IE wi dogs’ paws in hair remedies is not known, but Hippocrates, "the father of medicine,” used it four hundred years B. C„ and it has been in con stant use—with no benefit whatever—up to within the present decade. Most hair remedies contain it even now. What is "cantharides?” Simply a foul smelling dead fly or hug from the Levant that has been dried, powdered and soaked in alcohol. The elder Pliny, A.D. 113, and also Dioscoridcs, overcame the “mousy” odor with hot vinegar. NflJF 0 It remained for the eminent German, Cnna (ask your doctor about him) to dis cover that the real cause of dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair is an invisible microbe growth of vegetabale character that lodges and develops in the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles in the scalp. This shows that the disease is contagious and also that the use of dead animals or bugs is worse than useless.

A fact which did not become general ly known until last night was that a bad break had occurred in the 24 inch water main of the pipe line that carries the city’s water supply from Carleton pond in Readfield to the res ervoir in this city, and that on that account the water in the reservoir was low. The break occurred on the Brainard place in Manchester and at a point which prevented water being received either from Carleton. pond or from the auxiliary pumping station at Cobbos seecontee, and it was thought last night that a whole section of pipe was destroyed. A crew of men was working on it however, and it was hoped last night that the work of putting in a new sec tion of pipe would be completed this morning. The reservoir holds a sufficient quan tity of water to supply the city for domestic purposes for three days, and last night it was reported that there was sufficient water in the reservoir to last until noon today, for the purposes above mentioned.
