Saint John.N. B., December IS, 1892. Gentlemen: Our daughter, twelve years old, has always been sick from weakness of the stomach and limbs; pain across her back, and general de bility have kept her from school. We could not get help for her from the several doctors whom we tried. The countless medicines we bought gave her no benefit. Her appetite never was good; all she ate was a few mouthfuls of graham bread at a meal. Last summer we lost all hope, fbr we were afraid of her dying of consumption. 8ix weeks ago sne could not walk two hun dred yards without getting very tired. Now she can walk to the city, two miles, and back, without the least weariness; her appetite is such, she rclieheB anything a hearty man would wish to eat. For the first time in her life she knows what health is. The mother says, For twenty-two years I have had severe sick head aches. Nothing ever eased them until a. used Grader’s Syrup, which has wrought a permanent cum. No less than six physicians, and medicines without number,have failed to help me. The father speaks: I have had dyspepsia almost ever since I can remember. Of course I was better sometimes than others, but I have always suffered with vomiting, dis tress in the stomach and bowels, dizziness, and habitual constipation until I used Groder's Syrup, which has cleared my head, given me a good appetite. and*my food does not distress me. Our statements are all true, and I am ready to answer questions concerning them. Mb. and Mrs. T. G. MoKebvey. Main St., North. 8t. John, N. B. The Groder Dyspepsia Cure Co., Waterville, Me., U.S.A.

Oct. 4.—Until this af ternoon no new features appeared in the Wakefield trial, the testimony being wholly a repetition of that at the Silver trial.

A THOUSAND LIVES Lost In the Louisiana and Alabama Floods. A TERRIBLE TALE OF DESOLATION AND DEATH. Whole Families Swept Away by the Tidal Wave In Mobile Bay—The Kivere Are Full of Wreckage—Reports From New Orleans are Still More Startling—Sever al Hundred People Drowned at Grand Isle and Vicinity. New Orleans, Otober4.—The loss of life by the storm will probably reach one thousand. The Joe "Webber and the J. McSween met with toal demolition. With these steamboats went their entire crews to a watery grave. Besides these five luggers went out of existence. The islands adjacent to Grand island are in cluded in the hurricane that swept this country last Sunday. Rosario, one of the group, had a score of inhabitants •who earned their living by fishing. This place is entirely depopulated. The first authentic news came from Grand Isle this morning when a lugger reached the company canal from the island. The man in charge reports that the steamer Joe Webber was blown into pieces, and that several of the crew were drowned. The storm was terrible at Grand Isle and Cheniere Caminada. At the latter place only two houses are buclllUHie, tillvl uuo luggtuuau several hundred people have been drowned. Mobile, Ala., October 4.—Reports of damage by the storm are coming in slow ly. Railroads, shipping and mills are the heaviest losers, the amount aggregating nearly a million. The loss of human life cannot be estimated. On.Farmer’s island, opposite this city, two farm houses are standing out of twenty-three. Relief expeditions to this section found a group of little children clinging to the trees, their parents hav ing been 'swept away. One house was swept across the bay, fifteen miles, and landed on the tracks of the Louisville Nashville railroad. The owner and family have not turned up. On both sides of the bay were many villages, some of which are totally destroyed and the inhabitants gone. No trains on the Louisville Nashville are running either way. It will be a week or longer before the full story of the storm, with all the at tendant tales of death and destruction, will be told. In this city the work of clearing away the muddy sediment from the stores, deposited by the receding water and the debris from the streets is being pushed with energy and vigor. There are no authentic reports form points south of Mobile on the Louisville Nashvilie road, except that Biloxi bridge is washed away. The damage to the railroad is beyond computation at this time. A row boat trip of the marshes made yesterday revealed a terri ble tale of desolation and death. At every point touched houses were, com pletely gone, while the upper eastern shore was swept as if by a tornado. From Blakely as far southeast as reports could be had, the natives report only death and destruction. This side of Blakely, in the marshes, whole families have been swept away and the actual loss of life will probably never be known. Five children, the eld est not over six years of age, were found tied together in the marsh opposite the mouth of Spanish river. They said their father and mother had gone in a boat after the house. New Orleans, October 4.—The latest advices from sections of the state de vastated by Saturday’s storm indicate that the death list will reach 1200. THE AUBURN WRANGLE. Police Force Further Strengthened in Anticipation of More T. onble, Auburn, October 4—The police arrested three men, two of them lasters this eve ning, for blocking the streets. The police force was further strengthened to day, in anticipation of trouble. The man arrested Tuesday evening was sent to the county jail for ten days.

City Marshal Crawford lias wired the Bridgeport authorities to hold him, and he will be brought to Au gusta for trial. Dr. Pepper Very 111, Waterville, Ootober 4.—Dr. G. D. B. Pepper of Colby is dangerously ill of pleurisy at his home on Centre street. H. B. Hallock late of this city, has been stricken with a bad attack of ty phoid fever at one of the hotels in Chi oago, whither he had gone with his wife and sister to attend the World’s Fair. It will be remembered that Mr. Hallock had been married but about two weeks before leaving this city for his new home in Minneapolis. IN CONGRESS. Blackburn Declares For Free Trade and Silver. Washington, October 4.—In the Senate today, Blackburn of Kentucky, made a speech against the repeal of the Sherman act, in which he declared^ the inter national standard of value a myth, attri buted the present business depression to the McKinley tariff, and demanded free trade, free coinage, repeal of the tax on state banks and purging of pension lists. He was followed by Call of Florida, who assailed the national banks. In the House the Federal election re peal bill was discussed, Compton of Maryland, asserting that Southern elections were free, and quoting from alleged statistics to show that in New England there is a majority of Demo cratic votes, though the Democratic rep resentation in Congress is small. Boutelle of Maine, denied this absurd statement and a sharp colloquy followed. UNIVERSALISTS AT BANGOR. Proceedings at tbe Sunday School and Y. P. C. Conventions Yesterday.

BAPTIST AMIYERSARIES Caine to a Close at Auburn Yester day. THE SESSIONS WERE BOTH PROFITABLE AND INTERESTING.

Various committees presented reports. The com mittee on Sunday legislation was con tinued. It was voted to proceed to the organization of a Baptist Young People’s Union for Maine, and F.Brunei, G.W.E. Barrows and Rev. E. A.Mason were ap pointed a committee to attend to this movement.

The present, he said, is a most favorable opportunity for the work of this society. Moulding influnces now will tell. Public senti ment is forming, and we must not fail to use the moulding hand lest we lose our opportunity. This is true of our work in the West, in the South. We need larger contributions for this work in order that it may be carried forward with greater efficiency. ReV.B.F.Turner presented the report of the committee on Foreign Missions, which was adopted; and Rev. Dr. H. C. Mabie, home secretary of the American Baptist Missionary addressed the conven tion. The work, he said, is manifold, and we should have a share in it, although it is world wide. While doing the work just before us, it is possible for us to connect ourselves with this larger interest. Let us not try to excuse our selves because of what we have already done. Our gifts last year were only about a dollar per member for foreign missions in the Baptist churches of the North. Shall we say that this cannot be repeated? We have now 170,000 living members in our mission churches. What success God has granted, yet the needs of the work in our mission fields is increased thereby. Our victories even call for larger endeavors.

Dr.Geo.Bullen of Newton Theo logical Institute, addressed the society. He was impressed with the place Maine Baptists assign to Christian education. You are well organized also. You sus tain a very close relation to our Newton Theological Institution. Your schools face toward us, and we toward you. Make your education broad, solid, Chris tian. Our students for the Christian ministry also should have the best possi ble training for their work. The committee on place and preacher reported and the society will meet next year in Portland, preacher, Rev. S. C. Fletcher; alternate. Rev. F.M. Preble.

Natives threatened to shoot himself and wife only a few days before the last letter was sent, pointing firearms at them. Mr. Thornton’s age was 36 years. He was a native of Virginia, and was a pro fessor in the State university there when, called to mission work. The last report from tire Alasks Mis sion reads as follows: We are rejoiced to lay before our read ers a full account of our Alaska mission up to June5. We are gratified to find that the health of our missionaries has been excellent, that their work has pros pered and that they look forward hope fully to the future. According to previ ous arrangements, Mr and Mrs. Loop will enter the service of the Government, having charge of a reindeer station at Port Clarence. Mr. and Mrs. Thornton are thus left alone, but from the letter published and from other advices we are assured that they are not cast down nor discouraged at the prospect of being thus alone. We are glad to learn from our mission aries as well as from Dr. Sheldon Jack son, who has just returned, that the reindeer experiment has thus far proved a success, and promises ultimately to give to those needy Eskimos an adequate food supply and competent facilities for transportation. In a report sent to the association by Messrs. Thornton and Loop, they speak of the gratifying progress in the general work and of their other protection frqm seen and unseen danger's. They wrote en couragingly of the growth among the Eskimos toward civilization, intelligence and cleanliness. The work in that country has been di vided aaiong the four missionary work- ers as follows: In the school year Mr. and Mrs. Eo6p have held a session of school in tHe morning and Mr. and Mrs. Thornton another in the evening and late afternoon. The subjects taught were reading, writing, spelling, arithme tic, geography, singing and drawing. In addition to securing school-books, the New Testament and gospel hymns were read and explained. The exercises were always opened with prayer and the sing ing of hymns. FUSS FtATHEKo J,j The Men Who Make Up Colonel PhB brook’sHStaif. Augusta, October 4.—Colonel Georgt A.

The imperative need of the protection afforded by Life Insurance is made man ifest every day. Of late, the grim spec tre Death has stalked abroad in its most hideous forms: accidents of the most ter rible character—some resulting from nat ural forces, others from the oarelessness of man—have been recorded day by day. Immunity has been accorded to none; neither age, youth nor status has claimed exemption—the old and the young, the rich and the poor, have alike fallen be fore the scythe of Death’s avenging angel. It is this uncertainty of life—the converse of death’s certainty—that caus es those who reflect to avail themselves of the beneficence of Life Insurance. When death in its terrible swiftness en ters a household, the pangs of the suffer ing bereaved are sufficiently acute with out being added to by any prospective view of penury and want. Life Insurance is a duty; one of the most sacred attaching to any bread-win ner, and a terrible responsibility rests upon the shoulders of those who are in any way neglectful in this connection. INSURANCE PROTECTION CONSE QUENT UPON DEATH BY DISEASE OR ACCIDENT IS ALONE SECURED BY POLICIES OF LIFE INSURANCE. Your home company—the Union Mu tual—issues policies than which none are more liberal; they are also of the most varied character, with premiums as low as it is possible to make them con sistent with the absolute security they afford.

When the discovery of Dagurre was published it created a great excitement. Scientific men as well as the general public were interested. The newspap ers of that date eagerly sought and pub lished every item of news in regard to it. The master minds of the period were astonished at its results and its apparent capabilities. An English journal says: Daguerre’s ingenious discovery contin ues to excite very great curiosity and admiration. It is affirmed that the Em peror of Russia has offered him 500,000 francs for his secret, and he has declined the munificent offer. Sir John Herschel has turned his attention to the subject, and has already obtained pictures from the light of Daniell’s great galvanic battery. Sir David Brewster, too, has commenced an investigation into the matter.” In America a new field for in vestigation opened. College professors, chemists, scientific men, in fact all kinds of men commencing experiment ing with the silver plate and a camera. The camera in many instances being “home made’” and often constructed from a cigar box. When the experimen ter succeeded in getting a visible impres sion, it was carried in his pocket and shown to all friends as the result of his skill in working the new wonder. In March, 1840, Messrs. Wolcott John son opened a gallery in New York, and announced their readiness to execute daguerrotype portraits for the public. This was the first daguerrotype gallery in the world. The great interest of the public was shown by the way the crowds besieged the door of a gallery where a small frame containing half a dozen pictures was exhibited. Everybody seemed anxious to get a sight of the mysterious pict ures. The remarks they made were very amusing. One said, “The sun burns it on the plate if you sit in front of the machine. Another, If you look at the f-r, mu rvTM Y» mnWifftlf rm t.llA plate.” Another settles it all by saying, The plate is a lookingglass and your shadow sticks on the plate if you keep still long enough.” These and other re marks showed how little the general public knew about the difficult, delicate, mystic Aaguerrotype. The dark room was also a matter beyond the compre hension of the public. We were often asked what we did in there. Many sup poseed we did some hocus-pocus or slight-of-hand work, used some mysteri ous words, or performed an incantation to conjure up the picture. There was great anxiety to get a peep into that clo set, where the supposed mystery was per formed, little aware that the least gleam of light would fog the picture or destroy it entirely. With Yankee promptness galleries were soon opened in different parts of the city. Professor Morse made pictures for the public in the building on the northeast corner of Beekman and Nassau streets. He did not continue to practice it long, as his telegraph invention ab sorbed his whole time and attention. He continued to take great interest in the photograph as long as he lived. He often called and remained for hours ex amining each and every new phase of the process. One day he was present when a picture of a lady was made so perfect as to show the eyselashes; he quietly studied it for awhile and then used the well-remembered first dispatch across the ocean through his telegraph wire,. “What hath God wrought. ^Improvement came fast and the daguer rotype became popular. Every family had its collection and an evening, visit would bring them all to your notice for admiration and criticism. Brady’s fam ous gallery on the southwest corner of Broadway and Falton streets is well re membered. Gurney, on Broadway, fac ing John street, Plumb, at Murray street, and many others were all crowded with customers every clear day. The time of setting (by successful ex periments! were reduced from three and four minutes to half a hour mfnute, and soon after to ten or twelve seconds. Ail successful operators were kept busy from morning’ until sunset; sitters were often obliged to wait for hours for an op portunity to sit. For several years all pictures were made by slide windows, but skylights were afterwards built as they fur nished more light and gave better effects. One of the first skylights in New York was built on top of a granite building corner of Broadway and Cham bers street. It was made to revolve on a track to enable the operator to follow the sun in its travels. Elevators were not in use then, and the aspirant for a picture must clime half a dozen flights of stairs to he immortalized by a daguer ro American daguerrotypis heat the world in execution. At World’s Fair held in London, 1865, the New York daguerrotypists carried off the gold medal. And at that date the gold medal meant a great deal. The introduction of the photograoh on paper about 1860 entirely superseded the silver picture, and they were no longer in demand. The writer stll considers the well executed daguerreotype the best picture ever made with a camera. It min mi o wit.h milvpr snrfnnp• the plate must be perfectly clean and huffed to extreme sensitiveness. It was then coated with the vapors of iodine and bromine. After being exposed in the camera, the image was developed over the fumes of hot mercury. A solu tion of hyposulphite of soda removed the chemicals, the picture remaining. It was then coated with a solution of chloride of gold, and it will not fade. It does become tarnished and to all appear ance gone, but the tarnish can be removed by a person understanding the proper mode of procedure, and the picture is still there. They can be restored to their original perfection and will last for hundreds of years. I have scores of them made in 1846 and the following years-, just as perfect as they were the day they came from the camera.. An incident well remembered was when a lady bought a case said to contain a picture; it was completely covered by a film and nothing could be seen on the plate. She had been told that I could restore it. In a few minutes I showed it to her just as perfect as it ever was. She fainted on seeing it, as it was her husband wbo had been dejid over twenty years; she had not expected to see his picture again: now she saw it just as he was in life. It will not do to attempt to restore a picture by rubbing it; one or two rubs will obliterate it and then it will never be restored. It required long practice to be able to manage the delicate vapors used in mak ing the picture. If the day was very warm they flashed”, and were unman ageable. If cold, they would not work at all; during a damp atmosphere the plate would not receive a sensitive sur face. We were often obliged to ask sitters to come another day when perhaps the chemicals would work better. Every change of atmosphere would make a dif ference in the tone of the picture. In the course of time, by careful atten tion and continued practice, we were able to produce the desired effects with almost absolute certainty. For every sitting we must give attention to the state of the atmosphere the thermome ter’s record, the strength of the light, the hour of the day, anil passing clouds. While the sitter thought we should give all attention to his necktie, or the roper disposing of her ribbons, we were obliged to give almost entire attenion to these more important matters, if we would produce a satisetory impression on the plate. The apparatus used in making the da guerreotype have in most instances been destroyed. Yet it is a gratification to know that Columbia College has secured and will preserve a complete set of every thing used in making them.—Abraham Bogardus. PROF. KING’S BALLOON TRIP The Areonaut Wasn’t Scared and Thinks He Wasn’t in Danger. Professor Samuel A.King, the aeron aut, whose exploit in balloon on Lake Michigan last Friday week brought out the report of his death and that of his female companion by drowning, arrived in Philadelphia yesterday morning by way of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Professor King is very much surprised at the publicity which has beenjgiven the now famous aerial voyage, as he did not consider himself to the slightest extent in danger at any time during the voyage. “Why,” said he, “it all turned out just as I planned it and expected it to turn out, and it astonishd me to see how the newspapers turned it into a sensation— the Chicago papers especially." At the time that the newspaper corres pondents were industriously working the telegraph wires with the startling ac counts of the Professor’s death, he was 'sleeping soundly in his bed at the Chi cago Hotel, unmindful that his adven ture had caused any more than ordinary notice Indeed, to show how utterly unconscious he was that his “pleasant little trip” had caused any excitement, he did not think it worth while to tele graph to his family in this city tne re sult of the voyage until the following morning, and then he merely stated that he had had an enjoyable sail over Lake Michgan.. The Professor is just a little bit angry at the correspondents _ for killing him off in huge, back headlines, without thoroughly investigating the story first. I a.m very fond of adventure,” he said yesterday, “and love that which I en-1* counter in my balloon ascensions; but I never take any reckess chances. If I had been reckless I would have at tempted to sail clear across the lake on Friday, and then it is possible, but only possible, that I would have encoutered some difficulty, but only on account of the shrinkage of the gas in the balloon, which would have folllowed the setting of the sun. I thought of this, and con sequently sailed only about thirty miles out.,” Wasn’t your position little precarious for a time?” he was asked. “Not a bit of it. I knew we were per fectly safe and expected just what hap UCUUU. X 11 Util juu ut” uuni. n It was quite dark at the time, but the moon now and then came out from be hind the clouds, and Miss Boies and my self occupied our time eating the lunch we took with us. Does that look as though we were scared?11 he asked, with twinkling eye. “When we started upon Friday the strong shore current drove us inland. Then, after a time, we were carried out over the lake for a distance of about thirty miles, when we dropped down a little, and, catching the inland current again, were carried shoreward, using the drag-rope as we went along to keep us balanced. We never dreamt of danger, because there wasn’t any. The young lady, who, by the way, has 'lots of grit, amused herself by singing.' Once or twice we touched water, while at other times we were 70 or 75 feet above it. We didnt even get our feet wet, and as to danger, the balloon could have collapsed entirely and we would haev floated along with the ease and agility of a duck because I had taken the precauion I al ways take of providing my balloon with life preservers. These are of my own make, and consist of ordinary fruit cans sealed hermetically, and placed in a can vas ease, which I lash ao^und the basket. This would keep the basket afloat, just as an ordinary boat with air-tight com partments floats. Before we sighted the revenue cutter Andy Johnson, we passed and saluted a schooner. When we no ticed the approach Jof the schooner Miss Boles called my attention to it.^and then we began a race to see which would reach shore first—you see how scared we were, don’t you? Wheu the cutter finally reached us, I called for it to keep away, for fear the smokestack of the cutter* would come in contact with the balloon and do some damage. A boat was sent out, to Jwhieh our drag-rope wasj made*fast, and ^for some time we towed it through the water at very rapid rate. The wind was blowing northwest and was carry ing us considerably north of Chicago, so the little boat did us good service by affording steerage. We landed about twenty miles north of Chicago, where we collapsed the Jballoon, and were then carried back to Chicago on the Andy Johnson. We landed at Van Buren street wharf, and by 12 o’ clock I was in bed”. Professor King is extremely modest about his adventure and refuses abso lutely to admit that* the trip was any thing else than a delightful little sail. The balloon was damaged to the extent of WOO, after the landing had beenjmade, but it is now on the way east and will soon be once more in a condition as good as new. It is the same air-ship—the Eagle Eyrie—in which ’Squire Me Mullen made his famous trip on the Fourth of July.—Philadelphia North American. STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

The interest that is being taken in the debate in the House on the election bill is shown by the fact that the audience consists of less than forty members. The Mississippi congressman who characterized the method that prevails in that State of determining wheth er a man shall vote or not as an eminent ly fair method, has brass enough in his composition for the material for a heroic statue of himself when he shall cease to perform in the 'flesh. The Mississippi method was devised, as everybody knows to cheat the “nigger” out of his vote, and it has been so eminently successful that though they are numerically in the majority they cut no figure at the polls at all. _______ The story that -Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, was in favor of a com promise on the repeal bill is set at rest by a letter over his own signature in which he says that the Republican sena tors are supporting Mr. Voorhees in good faith in his endeavors to repeal the pur chase clause and have no expectation of suggesting or agreeing to a compromise. If the same were true of the Democratic senators there would be no great trouble in reaching a vote and repealing the law. But every Democratic senator has com promise in his head, Voorhees not execpt ed, becausd they all fear that a straight vote on the bill will plunge the Demo craio party into internecine warfare. One of the Auburn shoe manufacturers tells the Lewiston Sun that they kept theiz factories open several weeks for the retutn of the strikers, and only employed Armenians when it was apparent that the eld men would not return. That, seems to be a conclusive defence against the charge of supplanting their old help with foreigners. But we suppose the idea of these who are so opposed to the em ployment of Armenians is that if the old hands would not return the manufac turers should have closed up their estab lishments and stopped business altogeth er. the way, we h&ve an idea that if the roanufacurers can collect together enough Armenians 'or Italians to have an inflaence on the next spring election they win booh uuu iucu iuicigu uciy treated with distinguished considera tion. __ Our distinguished Mugwump friends are very much troubled about the Van Alen case, and are now uttering some very solemn warnings to Mr. Cleve land. The New.York Post tells him that all his enemies are chuckling over the Van Alen case and saying that it disposes of another “reformer.” The utterances of the Post are of especial significance because of the conuection with it of Mr. Horace White, one of the President’s near est friends and warmest admirers. It will be recollected that Mr. White, along with Mr. Gilder, saw trouble ahead in Van Alen’s claim and sought to avert it by raising the $50,000 the latter had con tribute to a campaign fund and tender ing it to him. But Van Alen did not want the $50,000 hut did want the Italian mission, so Mr. White’s plan did not work. Besides tendering some advice to the President the Post is also tendering some to Mr.Van Alen, which advice is to ask tho President to withdraw his name. Van Alen has already announced, how ever, that he shall do no such thing, so advice is likely to be wasted on him. The N<;w York Democratic convention is to be held today for the nomination of a State ticket. The only contest there is likely to be will concern the nomination for Judge of the Court of Appeals. Bijt Hill and the machine have so thoroughly fixed things that tho contest in regard to that is not likely to be long or doubtful. Orders have been issued to nominate Maynard, and the order will be obeyed, though probably not without some pro test. Maynard is going to prove a heavy load to curry thorugli the campaign, though very likely the machine is equal to it. A good many Democratic papers are going to find it impossible to support him without eating their own words, and all the prominent Democratic lawyers of New York city are on record as expressing the opinion that he is utterly unf^t for the place. In almost any State but New York it would be an extremely difficult task to pull through a man handicapped as Maynard is, so difficult that no one would try it, but the charater and num bers of the Democratic voters in New York and Brooklyn make it comparatively safe to try it there. The Mugwumps will fill bitterly oppose Maynard, but wheth er that will help or hurt him is a ques tiou concerning which there is room for difference of opinion. Maynard’s friends are contending that it will help him, and this very opposition is one of the princi pal reasons they are offering for his nomi nation. The Portland Press tries to dodge the issue by claiming that the breach of promise case which Judge Barker kept from the newspapers doesn’t concern the public. That isn’t the point. The judge has no right to make any such ruling and the nature of the case doesn’t enter into the matter at all. And then breach of promise cases which involve things unlit or publication do concern the pub lic and the rich have no mere right to be shielded from public scorn than the poor.—Bath Times. The dodging which you accuse the Press of consisted in pointing out that the parallel that you attempted to draw between the Harper case and the breach of promise case did not exist, inasmuch as the former was one closely involving public rights, while the latter involved no public right at all. How do you know that Judge Barker had no right to forbid t^ie newspapers to publish the details of the case from day to day? How did you evolve this conclusion which you announce in so dogmatic a way? The Boston Journal asked the opinion of several prominent Boston lawyers (people likely to know as much about it as you) and they inclined to the opinion that he had, at least they advised the newspapera not to disregard the injunction. The decision of the California Supreme Court points in th same direction, for though it says thai a judge has no right to set himself up as a censor of the press, it implies that he does have the right if he believes that the publication OI tllo UCUitilS vJJL th utisc wm uctcau out ends of justice, to forbid it. Judge Bar ker did not give the reason for his prohi bition, and there is just as much reason for assuming that it was given in the interest of justice to the litigants as for the purpose of shutting off the news papers. But you have digressed from the point you undertook to make in your first allu sion to this matter. Then your chief trouble was that there were men who ought to be jealous guardians of the peo ple’s rights, lacking in spirit enough to defend them;” you were in despair because all the hewapapers did not de nounce Judge Barker’s order as an in fringement upon the liberties of the American people, and the first act in their enslavement. It is gratifying to see (hat a little reflection has convinced you of the absurdity of such a cry as that. You still cling, however, to the idea that newspapers publish breach of promise cases for the warning of the pub lic rather than for the benefit of their own circulation. A little more reflec tion will convince you of the absurdity of that notion. The case may have lots of solemn warnings in it, but if it is not spicy it never gets into any newspaper in extenso unless it concerns a person of prominence. If the case before Judge Bar ker’s court had been a controversy be tween two persons[about a piece of land or a sum of money with nothing spicy about it, and Judge Barker had ordered the publication of all the testimony on the ground that some of the newspapers are now taking, that the publication of court cases is necessary to preserve our liberties, wouldn’t the protesting have been just as violent as it is now over the order that he did give? PERSONAL AND PECULIAR. In respond to many invitations Cap tain Magnus Anderson, who brought the Viking ship from Norway to this coun try, wilTdeliver a series of lectures in the northwest on “Norway and tjie Viking Ship.” Dr. Charles Fere, a well known authori in An miKirAiic and mcmf.al rlicpocpc cava that these disorders are increasing at a terrible rate in France and attributes the fact to the increase of beer drinking, absinthe ^drinking and bars. .There was scarcely such a thing, as a bar 23 years ago, he says, hut now they are all over the town and always crowded. Prof. Jordan, of the Minneapolis public schools, with the aid of a number of physicians, has made a discovery that ought to have been made long ago. The professor states that physicians who have investigated the causes of sick ness in the lower grades of public schools sav'that nine-tenths of it comes from stomach troubles, and that it is the di rect result of having children in school from 7.30 in the morning until 1.30,in the afternoon without giving them a chance to get anything to eat. The confinement also tells'upon the scholars. As a result of these investigations the superintend ent will abolish the one session plan iu these two grades, and will institute the old two sessions. Many of the United States Senators ride home from the Capitol in their own car riages, hut the vice president of the United States is accustomed to jump upon a green street car after the adjourn ment, hand the conductor one of the lit tle tickets that he buys six for a quarter, and then read his newspaper until he reaches his hotel. Harriet Hosmer’s heroic statue of Queen Isabella, which will stand in the club room of the Isabella Society of Chi cago, is expected to arrive this week. When it lias been placed in position a reception will be tendered to the sculptor bv the club. The Isabella Club was formed about five years ago, when it seemed that the Columbian year would be devoted solely to celebrating the achievements of Columbus, and that Isa bella, who made them possible, was to be ignored. Its object was to erect a lasting memorial to her iu Chicago. When Senator Stewart of Nevada takes the floor any day, his aide-de-camp slides into the chair which has just been vacated, with an armful of news paper clippings. These extracts are past ed upon large slips of cardboard, which makes them easy to be read, and they furnish ammunition which never fails. As All Stewart begins to lag iu his com ments upon one paragraph, his lieuten” ant pokes out another.iwhich serves to start a new train of thought. The Polish centenarian doctor Wie lolyeki, who for years has been a living example of the benefits of vegetarianism, to whom all authorities in that doctrine pointed with great pride, succumbed short time ago to an attack of influenza. At the age of 18 he used to walk li miles day for exercise, and he attributed his long life to the fact that he had never tasted tobacco and had not lasted liquor since he was 40. Mr. John B. Frye of New York tells the Washington Post that he was in the Capi tol on the day John Quincy Adams died. “1 was close by him when he fell,” says -Mr. Frye, "and as I leaned over him I heard him utter his famous last words, ‘This is the last of earth: I am content.’ Many thought he said l am composed,’ but he did not.’’ Sarah Bernhardt,who has been making a tour of South America, returned to Paris lately She was in Rio Janicro during the bombardment. When inter viewed as to her experience she ex claimed: “It was simply exqusite.. I spent three clays and nights in the road stead to see the display. It was grand, overpowering, magnificent. I shall never forget it. I saw "the grandest scene of my life.” Prince Bismarck’s progress towards recovery has been again retarded by the entire failure of his appetite. He will now scarcely touch food. The reports that he had suffered an attack of paraly sis are borne out by the fact that his right band is apparently completely use less. Count Herbert Bismarck, the Prince’s son, says that his father’s ill ness was brought on by his taking a half hour’s bath when the. temperature was 2S degrees Reaumur, and afterwards standing bareheaded for 15 minutes re ceiving the deputation front Frankfort that, visited him on August 27. When John W. Macaky was shot last winter two physicians attended him and removed the bullet. Then they sent in hills for $7500 and 5000 respectively. Mr. Mackay promptly refused to pay on the ground that the charges were excessive. This would not have attracted much at tention but for the fact that soon after lie, as executor of an estate, allowed a bill of 26,000 for attorney’s fees. The doctors took up the matter and think they have shown that the legal skill and labor for which theso fees were allowed were trifling, and not so well worth the monev as the surgeonical service ren dered” Mr. Mackay after the shooting.

“THE FENCING MASTER.” Coming to Portland Theatre Friday and Saturday This Week. In all probability no later day Ameri can comic opera commands so many re sources or is so thoroughly equipped as the “Fencing Master.” The scenes o£ the opera are laid in Italy, the first act being located at Milan and the second and third in and about the world famed Venice. Hence the local coloring afford ing such an interesing scope for scenic and costume investiture. The placing upon the stage of so pretentious a repro duction resolved itself into managerial artistic'judgment'and financial invest ment. That the fullest advantage was taken of these opportunities was demon strated when the Fencing Master” was given birth. Captain Alfred Thompson, a well known artist and designer, who has spent much of his life in and about Venice and Milan and whose artistic tem perament and reputation are universal ly accepted and admired was called upon to design and model the scenic and cos tume effects. That he did his work thoroughly is an accepted fact. The cos tumes were manufactured under his direction by Eaves Co., of New York, while the scenery was painted by Reid &"Schaefer and "Ernest Gros, the latter being chief assistant to the famous Phil lipeaux, who created the great pano ramas, The Seige of Paris, Falls of Niagara and Battle of Gettysburg. While all this was being done a most capable company of operatic artists was organized and drilled in the music lines, and situa tions, that had been created in the author’s mini. At the head of this or ganization was "placed the peerless imperial court singer, Laura Mapleson, whose triupmhB, both home and abroad had made her famous. The company numbered in all eighty people, and in addition to Madam Mapleson included w/vrlH fnmniK bnritrme Hubert Wilke and the clever native prima donna Lilly Post. However, it was in the grand ensembles and perfection of detail where in the production exceeded all others; to the orchestra accompaniment particular attention was paid, and the voice of the press in the several cities visited was unanimous in its exclamations of praise. New York and Boston accepted the work with alacrity and patronized it liberally for nights running up to the hundreds, while Chicago and Philadelphia were loath to part with it after runs of four weeks each. This grand ensemble of artistic and popular results is now being brought to Portland, where it will be produced Friday and Saturday evenings of this week and Saturday matinee. The company is under the management of Fred C.Whitney, who together with Col. Mapleson, are directing its destiny. The sale of reserved seats has shown con clusively that the followers and lovers of jiusical events intend in a tangible manner to incourage the engagement in this city. The leading dual role of Fan cesca Francesco will be sung Friday and Saturday nights by Laura Schirmer Mapleson, and at the Saturday matinee by Lilly Post, while Hubert* -Wilke Will appear at each of the three recitals given in Portland. Discussion of the merits of the “Fenc ing Master” will leave food for discussion among music lovers in this city for some time to come. The Testimonial Concert. Parties should secure their seats today at Stockbridge’s for the grand compli mentary concert to he tendered to Misses Knight, Ricker and Philbrook at City Hall tonight. Miss Bertha Webb, the Haydn Quartette, Singers Club, Messrs. Murray and Rankin will all assist.. This will be the programme. “The Miller’s Wooing.Fanning Singers’ Club.

The third and fourth numbers on the programme were rendered at the Worn TV r»i nol PAUiTonfinn Chicago. The covers for the programmes are done in half tone, after a design drawn by Mrs. H. F. Harmon of Woodiordsjand represents a Medalion of Apollo, the God of Song, resting upon a harp with a back ground of laurel leaves. The work was done by the Lakeside Press. The Vemletta. “The Vendetta” is a melo-drama full of cayenne pepper and mustard, meta phorically speaking,'for, beginning with a murder at Paris, for which an inno cent man is convicted and sent to the galleys at Toulon, its action passes with the blowing up of the prison and escape of the convicts, a game of baccarat at Monte Carlo, the collision and wreck of a steamer at sea, and finally the burn ing of Paris. The acts are short, the action rapid, the scenic and stage effects are very good, and the acting prais worthy. W.R. Ogden^was strong as the Count Riehardo, and Francis Kingdon as Eugene De Lome, Fred Devere as Gaston, Arthur Earl as Fred Newport of Chicago, Wm. Courtney as Gustave and the other characters were well taken. The principals were called before the curtain and the curtain called at the end of each act. The Nabob. When Hensliaw and Ten Broeck came before the public in farce comedy, they gave a bright., breezy, lively performance that proved a success, and in doing so made friends with the theatre going public. This season, which will he their last as farceurs, that will ;make the at tempt. to duplicate and excel any previ ous effort as fun makers and to accom plish that end have had New Nabobs entirely revised by William Gill, the au thor of “Adonis,” “Old Jed Prouty,” and “My Sweetheart.” Like the old wagon, it has been painted up brighter than when new and is ready lor its final run across the country. It will be seen at Portland Theatre tonight. Notes. When it became known that Manager Rice was to produce “Venus” at the Park Theatre, Boston, this season, theatre goers instinctivly knew that it would be presented sumptuously. The entire pro duction exceeds the dreams of even Rice’s wildest admirers and large audiences have greeted each performance of it. The Bos ton Globe calls it“The hit of the season.” The scenery and costumes are admirably selected and the mechanical and electri cal effects are brilliant and dazzling. The music is tuneful and catchy, while it has more character than that- of the ordinary light opera. The libretto is bright, often witty, and all the time mirth provoking. At every preformance of “Rosedale” the spacious Grand Opera House in Bos ton has been filled with an audience largely composed of the fashionable and cultured element of Boston’s society. At the conclusion of the 1 two weeks’ run of “Rosedale” in Boston the Grand Opera House will begin its New England tour. The production in all the New England cities and towns will be identical with that now being given in Boston. The cast will be the same and will include Miss Annie Clarke, Mr. Joseph Haworth, Miss Sadie Martiuot, Mr. william Mes tayer, Mr. Frank J.Keenan, Miss Kate Ryan, Miss Helen Dayne, Mr.Charles E. Inslee, Miss Belle Stoeks, little Olive Simth, Mr. Edward Wade, Miss Caroline Lockhart and fifty other well known people. RAILROAD MATTERS. Boston Maine.

Suicide. Coroner Littlefield was called to No. 10 Quincy street last evening, where a woman uamed Egiina C. Knight, aged 37 years, was found dead in bed. Miss Knight was unmarried, and was said to have been a victim to the morphine hab it for which some years ago she was an iDmate of the insane asylum. She took a heavy dose of morphine last night, and that failing to accomplish her object she followed it up with a dose of chlo roform, went to bed and pulled the clothes over her head. The people of tho house, missing her, went to the room and found her apparently uncon scious. Dr. J. T. Palmer was called, but he was too late to be of use. Miss Knight waij a woman of some means, and lived on her income. She leaves a mother and sister. The coroner consid ered an inquest unnecessary. Xo Malicious Injury About It. Calvin B. Chase was brought before Judge Gould yesterday morning, charg ed with taking tho horse of Forest E. Wilson from his stable without his con sent and maliciously injuring both the horse and wagon. Wilson said1 Chase had no authority to use the horse. On the other hand Chase said he took the horse out to exercise it, while Wilson was sick. As a matter of fact Ckask was taking up a collection for Wilson, who had been hurt, and ho used the horse in going to see a man wuum uo uiuu^ui would subscribe. Chase said Wilson gave him permission to use the horse. Wilson rather lamely replied that he was willing that Chase should use his horse but not this one. Judge Gould at once discharged Chase. In Search of Big Game. Albert Place and Edward Place of Chepacliat, K. I., passed through here yesterday on their way to the woods, go ing up over the Grand Trunk in sarcli of big game.

The party started out for big game, but “willing to take anything” as Mr. Albert Place said. The Cumberland County Bonds. Considering the state of the money market the new issue of Cumberland county four per cents is meeting quite a ready sale at par.

Connected With the Great Paper, MAKES STATEMENTS WHICH THE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW AND UNDERSTAND. They Will Interest Not Only the News paper Fraternity [but Everybody, The popular and well known Thomas A.Lindsay, who is connected with Al bany’s (N.Y.i leading morning paper, the Albany Express, makes an interest ing revelation. Everybody connected with the news paper has known of the facts for some time, and can Vouch for their truth in every particular. “For many years,” said Mr. Lindsay, “I. have been subject to severe spells of headache and nervousness at times al most enough to drive a man to insanity from pains, luss of sleep, etc. “Medicines, narcotics, patent and pre scribed did not give relief, and the ail ment increased continually. Having read in the Albany Morning Express, at different times, the advertisements of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I concluded to try this remedy, and after the use of six or seven bottles, found not only relief, but almost a radi cal cure. The headaches are a thing of the pijst, while the terrible nervous spells have gradually become less and less until now 1 have little or none of them left and my sleep is naturaland refreshing. “I do not hesitate in saying that this remarkable change is entirely due to Dr Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve reme dy. and T heartily recommend it for ail ments like my own, no matter what the cause of them.” It is a fact that our great business mid professional men are fast finding out the wonderful invigorating and strength giving powers of this most valuable dis covery, Dr. Greene’p Nervura, blood and nerve remedy It is the medicine for the weak and nervous. It restores health to the sick. Its remarkable cure of Mr. Lindsay, after everything else had failed, makes another conscientious person, restored to health by its'use, to add to the long and constantly increasing list of prominent and well known people who are almost daily publishing in the papers statements of their cures by this grand medicine. It is beyond all question the greatest curer of disease known at the present day, and is the very best medicine for blood and nerves. It is purely vegetable and harmless, and is sold by druggists for $1.00. This great remedy is the discovery and description of the famous physician, Dr. Greene, of 34 Temple place, Boston, Mass., who is the most successful special ist in curing nervous and chronic diseases in this country. We would add that the doctor can be consulted free, personally or by letter.. MUNICIPAL COURT. BEFOJBE JUDGE GOULD Wednftday—John J. Clark, Timothy Driscoll and Frank Morgan; intoxication.

A man with a long and rusty army sword made a great deal of excitement on Fore street yesterday. He took liis stand on the Franklin street corner and made nervous people take the opposite isde of the street very rapidly. He had in some way picked up a little of the sword exercise, and cut and thrust vig orously. He kept this up until a small boy yelled “cop,” and then vanished. MARRIAGES.

Mount Vernon, the House of Immortal Washington, Reproduced by the State of Virginia—New Jersey’s Historic Structure and Maryland’s Mansion. I Soecial World’s Fair Letter. 1 Virginia’s state building at Jackson park is the Mecca toward which the pilgrim visitors with renewed energ3^ wend their way to pay homage to the home of America’s chief. The structure, with its white frame walls, gabled roof and old-fashioned win “MOUNT VERNON”—VIRGINIA’S STATE BUILDING. flows, is an exact reproduction of the Mount Vernon mansion, in Fairfax county, Va., the home in which George Washington lived and died. This home was presented to Wash ington by his brother Lawrence and was built in the early part of the eight eenth century by their father. The building at the fair lies near the lake, opposite the Maryland structure, and covers an area of 175x185 feet, be ing erected at a cost of $25,000. The main structure is 94x32 feet with two stories and an attic, and a two-story portico extending along the entire front. The portico extends up to the cornice of the roof with an or namental railing around the top, and is supported by eight large columns. This portico is representative of the wide and open hospitality of the south, and is furnished with settees along the whole length next to the wall, and with many easy chairs and rockers. Extending back of each wing in the rear are two colonnades about 20 feet long, 9H feet wide and 11 feet high, connecting each with a one-and-a-halfl story structure 40x20 feet. These are called the dependencies, and each con tains four rooms. In the main building are seventeen rooms; the largest is the banquet hall, 81x23 feet, and the second in size the library, 10x19 feet. The main entrance hall, Washington’s chamber, in which he died, upon the second floor, and Mrs. Washington’s private room in the attic, to which she removed after her husband's death, and which she occu pied during the remainder of her life, because it was the only room which overlooked his tomb, are the large rooms of the house. Tde apartments average in size upon the first floor 17x17 feet, and secon-2 17x13 feet. The height of the building from the ground to the top of the cupo la is 50 feet. The hostess presiding over the colo nial home is a lady assistant of the Virginia board, Mrs. Lucy Preston Beale, a daughter of Hon. Ballard ton painted by Gilbert Stuart in 175?. Also white marble statues by Edward V. Valentine, of Eichmond, one of the “Blindfcirl,” the other a representa of “Andromache and Astyanax.” Altogether the building with its furnishings is unequaled in its char acter and appointment and nothing like it will be seen except by a pilgrim age to Mount Vernon itself. Another state building not less in teresting than the one through which the visitor has passed, and of equal historical value, is the structure erected by New Jersey. Those familiar with the appearance of the Washington headquarters in Morristown, N. J., will recognize in New Jersey’s building the nucleus ol the general outlines and the details oi that historic building. The state did well to select this home for a model al the world’s fair, when it is remembered that under the roof of the old Morris town house more of the noted men oi the revolution have gathered and talked of war and peace than under any other roof in America. Gen. Washington used this place aE headquarters during the winter oi 1779 and ’80 and Alexander Hamilton lived there during the same winter at which time the little god, Cupid, with out respect to time or place crossed his path and he wooed and won the lady he afterward married, daugh ter of Gen. Schuyler. Celebrated men including Lafayette, Green, Steuben, Kosciusko, Knox, “Light Horse” Harry Lee, “Mad Anthony” Wayne and that brave soldier, who died nnder the ignominy of being a traitor to his country, Benedict Arnold, have all been under its roof. The building is centrally located at the park among the eastern states, and arranged with all the conveniences ol a club house, for which purpose it waa intended. The main entrance opens into a large general assembly shall, which is two stories high, surrounded by a circular balcony looking down from the second story. The building is 51 feet long and 31 feet wide, with a height of 37 feet to the eaves. It is constructed principal ly of- frame work, covered with clap boards, and with some of the ornamen tal portions in staff. There are two large and inviting piazzas on the front and rear. The entire structure was erected at a cost of $40,000. The Mary] and building is a hand some structure, located near the lake, built in so-called “free classic” style of architecture. The extreme dimen sions, including porches, are 142x78 feet. The exterior is oovered with staff and adorned by three entrance porticos supported by Oorinthian col umns. A spacious piazza, with deck roof and similar columns, is constructed in the rear. The wings of the build ing have deck roofs inclosed by hand some balustrades. The center has a belvidere which offers an excellent point of vantage for viewing the world’s fair grounds. The noteworthy points on the ex terior are a beautifully modeled coat of arms of the state placed in the tym panum of the gable of the main porti co, and also an elaborate belt cornice with a decorated frieze of garlands and wreaths. The interior is plastered and finished in white pine, painted cream color. The central part of the main floor is occupied by a reception hall and a grand stairway, all treated in the colonial style with rich moldings and delicate lines. On the right of the central hall is a large room 25x26 feet, used for the exhibition of woman’s work. On the left is a general exhi bition hall, 36x26 feet. The general exhibition haH Is two stories high with a gallery at the height pf the second floor.. On the second floor THE MARYLAND STATE BUILD IN€k Preston, and granddaughter of Gen. Preston, ca former governor of the state. She has for the attendants in the building old Virginia negroes, and endeavors to give in every particular an old Virginia home of the oolonial period. The Virginia building is not only an exact reproduction of the Mount Ver non residence, but everything within it partakes of the colonial character. Nothing modern is found in the fur nishings except a few pieces of statu ary, a library of books by Virginia authors and the throng of people. As far as possible the building is fur nished with articles which were col lected from all over the state, the heir looms in Virginia families, and with portraits of the same character. In the main hall is a stairway four feet wide ascending by platforms to the floors above. On the first landing there is an old Washington family clock, an interest ing historical relic. The hall is fur nished with antique sofas and pictures of the last century. To the right of the entrance is Nellie Custis’ music room containing a harp sichord, the facsimile of the one pre sented to her by Washington, and the old piano used by Dolly Madison, taken from the Madison home at Montpelier. Just beyond is the banquet hall, a lofty apartment with pale yellow walls and drab tinted ceiling. It con tains a life-sited, portrait si Washing are three handsomely furnished parlors 13x17 feet each. These are connected by large folding doors and ornamented by carved mantels. On this floor is also found a reading room containing the daily papers of the state with other national papers, a smoking room and office for the use of the com mission. A large and extensive ex hibit of the industries of the state has been made in the state building and also a beautiful display of needle work, ceramic painting and general handiwork of women. The building receives many favor able comments from all who visit It, and the commissioners from Maryland congratulate themselves that for the money expended they secured propor tionately one of the most attractive state buildings on the grounds. Naknie Stutx. The Famous Kentucky Room. Kentucky’s room In the Woman’s building at the exposition is replete with interest for all students of colo nial davs. In construction and decora tions it takes one back to pre-revolu tionary times; and it is filled with his toric relics and souvenirs. There is o chair over three hundred years old, often used by Elder Brewster, of Ply mouth colony fame. The solid mahog any furniture has descended in time honored families, and many pieces ar« associated with the great men of th« past. miscellaneous. miscellaneous. for Infants and Children. “Castoria Is so well adapted to children that t recommend it as superior to any prescription known to me." H. X. Archer, M. D., Ill So, Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y. “The use of ‘Castoria’ is so universal and its merits so well known that it seems a work of supererogation to endorse it. Few are the intelligent families who do not keep Castoria within easy reach." _ Carlos Martth, D. D., New York City. Late Pastor Bloomingdale Reformed Church.

SAFE, QUICK AND EFFECTIVE. The valuable curative properties of All cock’s Porous Plasters are due to the em ployment of the highest medical and chemical skill. They are purely vegetable, and in in gredients and method have never been equalled; safe, quick and effective in their action; they do not bum or blister, but soothe ana relieve while curing, and can be worn without causing pain or inconvenience. Do not be deceived by misrepresentation. All other so-called Porous Plasters are imitations, made to sell on the reputation of Allcook’s.

Business has improved somewhat over last week, but jobbers generally report the situation ns being rather quiet, with collections slow. Flour moves moderately, and prices are in liny eis' favor, and weak, owing to the downward tendency or vvneai m an me iciming uiamou. Corn lias ruled firmer with V2 c advance on car lots. Oats unchanged here, and firmly held at previous figures;Western markets higher.There appears to be 110 let-up ill the call for refin ed Sugars, tlie enormous fruit crop creating an unusual demand and. notwithstanding the re cent advance of Vic in raws, refined remains unchanged and oversold. Coffees are firmer; high markets and a probable rise in prices are looked for. The New York exchange market for Coffee on Saturday was 5 points up. Mo lasses tending upward. Teas are steady with a firm feeling for all grades. Ill Provisions, we note quite a sharp advance on plate and extra plate Beef. Hams continue easy with a further decline of Vac. Dry fish firmer, particularly on Cod and Haddock, for which au early advance is expected. Cranberries easier undor the in fluence of large receipts. Onions, Cabbages and Sweet Potatoes are lower. Eggs are firm, 22c being a top nrice for fresh lots. Cheese are firmer with New York Vac higher to-day. But ter steady without quotable change in values. Coal is very active, and most of the dealers put prices up Monday 25c, with some still selling at old figures. The stock of Coal just now is light but a large fleet of vessels is due and tire sup ply ill a day or two will b* large. Fresh P.eef is lower for some pieces ana higher for others: we quote sides at, 5'. 2W8c p ib, hinds at GVa@10c, fores 4Vj@6c, rounds 6@7e, rump-loins 8@i3c, backs at 5@7VaC, rattles at 4®4yEc; Sheep quoted 7@8c Iff lb, lambs 8@10c.
