The Rev. Olympia Brown entered upon
her duties as pastor Of the Universalist church

the First Baptist church, Rockland, during
the summer.

To the Editor Of the Press:
An item in your paper of the 18th inst,
signed ''Base Ball." think was intended to
convey the impression that the Dirigos had
used unfair means to hold the bat and cham
pionship.
do not like to hear this cry of afoul play
raised by every club that gets beaten.
The Dirigo club won the Bat from the
North Stars last season on their own ground,
and have proved to them in too matched
games since, that they are capable of holding it.
Then club according to Base BalD .made

1t isa sad thing to pass through life only hall
alive. Yet there are thousands whose habtual con-
diton Is one Of languor and debility. They complain
OF no specific disease; but they have no relish for
anything which affords mental or sensuous pleasure
to their more robust and energetic fellow beings.
In nine cases out OF ten this state OF lasstude and
torpor arises from O, morbid stomach. Indigestion
destroys the energy Of both mind and body. When

needs rousing and ngfhening not merely tor an

condition than las it assnredly would do If
ordinary alcoholic stimulant were resorted to- but

How Is this desirable object to be accomplished?

Economy i'm the Sire Department.

The destructive confagration of Tt ursday
night, or rather of Friday morning, brings
most forcibly to mind the policy pursued by
our city government in reference to the Fire
Department. What we have TO say is not in
the spirit of political pickering, because that
city government is Democratic one, for the
reason that we should speak our mind as free
ly if its members we're all Republicans, and
also for the reason that we say it in the hope
that more liberal policy may at once be in
augurated.
Some four months ago Chief Engineer Moody
made suggestion TO the city government that
the department. should be supplied with 1000
feet of hose. No notice was taken of that re-
quest Shortly after he made another request,
which was ignored. About three weeks ago
he stated that unless the hose was furnished
he would not be responsible for the efficiency
of the force, and on Monday night last an order
was passed authorizing the purchase of 1900
feet Of leading hose and 400 feet Of rubber hose.
Now that was all that was to be allowed in the
face of the fact that all the hose is in such fear
full condition that it is unreliable. e very en-
CINE is compelled by law to have 1000 feet of
hose on the reel and 1000 feet in the engine
nouoo iVk cHakO HOcC. AZ luc pItSt1G llm6
there are about 600 feet on the reel in one of
the engine houses and about five lengths of
spare hose. Again, from neglect to furnish
new hose in time, we witnessed ourselves the
bursting of hose at the fire at the johnson
House few weeks ago, and at the fire on the
hill on Sunday morning last, when pressure
of only twenty pounds of steam had caused
the hose to burst SO badly that the water
poured out in perfect cascade, and the stream
from one of the engines was hardly powerful
enough to break the second story windows of
a common dwelling house.
Again, we have only four steam fire engines
for valuation of some $50 900, 600 OF property,
a smaller force than in many of the smallest
cities of New England. Saeo and B:ddeford
have three, we believe, with a valuation of not
not more than IS, 600, 900. Boston has eighteen
fire engines in good order for immediate SER
vice. OF these four engines in Portland one is
ten and one is seven years old The boilers of
one are in terrible condition, and SO is its
suction hose on which the engine depends for
value. A committee of the City Council some
time ago examinedthis engine, and one of the
members of that committee, who was thor
oughly posted in his business, said that they
were almost worn out and an explosion might
be expected any day. The consequence is,
that with two and a half. miles of territory
there are only four steam fire engines to pro-
tect it, and two of them in anything but first
class condition. If there had been wind on
Friday morning the confagration would have
swept without doubt to Munjoy Hill, without
meeting with any other than feeble resist

ventured no opinion. The counsel were pref

INcENDIARIsM.-Iti is the opinion of ,he cit,
authorities that the three fires Of yesterday
were occasioned by incendiaries. The arrest
of the woman suspected of setting the fire on
Beach street should be followed by the most
active measures for the detection and arrest OF
the parties engaged in this diabolical work,
and also for the prompt discovery of fires that
may break out in any part of the city. The
excitement among our citizens in regard to in
cendiarism is SO intense that parties to whom
this crime is brought home by any well gound-
ed suspicion are assured that they may regard
themselves as fortunate if they escape with
any punishment less summary and severe
than that inflicted by Judge Lynch.

The New York Atlas informs its readers
that If we had a Democratic President and
Democratic Congress, free trade would be the
rule, and coal would be ave dollars q ton in
stead Of ten, as tits now.
But wouldn't it be better TO freeze to death
than to have q Democratic President and a
Democratic Congress? f'
That old Democratic trick of telling what
would be II &c is about played out, but if the
Atlas thinks differently it makes great mis-
take in drawing its statement SO mild It
would be just as easy to say, and equally sus-
ceptible Of proof that under Democratic ad-
min-stratiou, coal would be furnished free and
corn, -four and beef be sold for song But
va doubt very much if the American people
would again consent to be governed by a
Democratic administration even though it
would be demonstrated that all the necessaries
Of life would be furnished gratis. The money
thus saved would fail to compensate them for
the disgrace and modification which would

'' FRESH As A MAIDEN's BLUSH " is the pure

Hagar's Magnolia Balm. It is the true secret
of beauty. Fashionable ladies in society I'M
derstand this.
The Magnolia Balm changes the rustic coun-
try girl into city belle more rapidly than any
other one thing.
Redness, sunburn, tan, freckles, blotches,
and all effects of the summer sun disappear
where it is used, and genial cultivated, fresh
expression is obtained, which rivals the bloom
of youth. Beauty is possible to all who will
invest 70 cents at any respectable store, and in
