DIR. Schenck's Standard Remedies.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENCKs PULMoNIc SYRUP, SCHENcK's SEA-
WE'D TONIC. and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE Pill LIS
and If taken before the lungs destroyed speedy
cure effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. II. Schenck, OF
Philadelphia his unrivalled success in the treat
ment Of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy expectora
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Scheneks
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schencks Mandrake Pills act the liver, removing
all distractions relax the gall bladder the bile
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulan
and Alternative; the alkal of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup
will make good BLOOD then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well if taken to prevent
fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck, either per-
sonally or by letter, do his principal office
corner OF SIXTH and ARCH STs.. Philadelphia, every
Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

The shipments of shoes from Auburn during
the past week have been 1876 cases, and the
receipts of leather 1884, GOA pounds. During the
previous week the shipments were GA cases,
and the receipts of lrather 91,673 pounds The
manufacturers continue busiy engaged in fill
ing their orders. Not many orders are now be-
ing received.
There are about 16 600 tons of ice in store in
the vicinity of Belfast. A New York firm last
week offered 1925 per ton for it, provided the
owners would all sell. but the offer was de-
cned The fgule would give profit of about
one dollar per ton.
The best early cut hay is selling at Wilton
for twelve dollars per ton, delivered. The mild
winter has saved thousands OF dollars to the
citizens of Maine in hay and wood.
The shoe factory of Belfast will soon sds
pend operations, owing to dull sales.

terization marked by grace, 6nish and great
Dathos, and one emitting him to foremost
position in the ranks of emotional actors. He
has the faculty, noticeable ir all great artists,
of working up situation gradually and natur-
ally, taking his audience with him from the
first so they are in full sympathy with him in
that climax of intense passion which otherwise
seems forced aud exaggerated. The wonder is
that so fire acting does not call out crowded
houses.
This evening Miss Miles takes her benefit,
assuming the title role in "Hamlet." Apart
from the curiosity which naturally obtains to
see so novel Characterization the efforts she
has made to please and the impersonatons she
has given since her first appearance on the
Museum boards should ensure her full house

ceived it. Learning that both watches we're in
the possession of Small a warrant was issued
against him by Judge johnson, for OBJ aiming

so pitiful an appeal to the kind heart of Mr..
Allard in behalf of a large family of small chill

gentleman withdrew the complaint and he was

The COUNTY CHECK BooK.-The investiga-
ton into the check book matter at the County
Treasury develops the fact that the price of the
book was 1927, which is not extravaaantly high.
Both the treasurer and his clerk had the i'm
preston that the price was much greater and
the information on which the statement was
based came from that office 1t is a pleasure
as we'll as duty to say that the examination
exonerates both Treasurer Harding anc the
booksellers from blame in the transaction.

AN EcLIPsE.-Next Saturday afternoon an
eclipse of from one-quarter to one-third of the
sun will be visible in this vicinity. The largest
observation in the United States will be eleven
and one-half digts, which, however, will be

The Baruabce Concert.

An evening with Barnabee is an excellent
expedient to drive dull care away, and one for
gets for the time while listening to his humor-
GUS songs and watching the wonderful contor'
lions OF visage and form which set them off the
heavy cares which burden the day. Mr.. Bar
nabee's laughter-provoking method has one
disadvantage, however. His auditors feel de-
trauded if he happens to look serious for mo-
ment, and wax impatient if he long absents
himself from the stage. Thus the praisewor-
thy efforts of those who accompany him are
often dlsregarded. He is host in himself it is
true; but he is modest, and never can bring
himself to think that his name alone is suffi
Gent attraction to draw an audience. So he
brings with him singers, always good often ex-
cellent. Last evening he had in his company
artists who ensured an entertainment of merit
and of variety enough to suit the tastes of
nearly all. Mr.. Winch has been here so often
with Mr.. Barnabee that Portland people have
learned to associate the two, and his pleasin g
tepor seems customary accompaniment to the
bass of the other. as in the familiar cardboard
Watch" which was in the programme. Mrs.
Carter's soprano is also familiar to Portland
audiences, and had good opportunity for dis
play in the cavatina of Donize;ti, and in the
song BIRD of Love-" which constituted her ap-
pearances in solo. Miss Anna Holbrook made
her audience acquaiDte with pleasant though
not remarkable contralto voice, and her song
Absence" was given with considerable feel
ing and expression. Miss Bell and her violin
always command cordial greeting. But
aside from MI. Barnabees solos, the most &C.
ceptable parts of the programme were the quar-
tettes from 'Rigoletto'' and Martha" which
which were given with great unity and precis-
ion. Of Mr.. Barnabee's specialties, 'The Lit
tie Tin Soldier" and the pathetic ballad of
the Tall Young Ossterman," little need be
said. Of course they were vastly amusing, and
OF course the audience called him back again
The hall was about twothirds full, and hap.
pier lot of people one seldom sees.

The following communication has been re-
ceivfd from a number of the principal ship
owners on Commercial street who are very in
dignant at the course taken by the Captain OF
the Cutter Dallas in the late storm The per-
sons signing the letters are perfectly RESPONSE
BILE and their names can be had if desired, by
application at this office:
Mr. EDIToR.-We notice in this mornings
PRESS article headed THE Dallas, aud the
Storm" which we presume originated from the
Captain of said vessel, IN which he attempts to
exonerate himself from all blame, most
particularly IN the case of barkentne Hattie
jackson which was driven ashore nea Fort
Prebie during the late storm. The facts of this
case as near as we can ascertain, are these:
FIRST, the captain of the bark sent word to the
cntter early enough on Tuesday morning before
nigh water, saying that his vessel was ashore
on the rocks and asked for assistance from the
cutter Dallas. The captain asked that the
cutter might be sent to help in rescung his
vessel from her perilouS position, and also
secured the services of those tugs that went
down to his vessel and succeeded in partially
turning her around, and if they could have had
the services of the cutter we have no hesita
ton in saying We know that the bark could
have been towed off the rocks and brought to
the city. Captain Chase explains that his
vessel was at the wharf taking in coal and
water, and that the gale was so violent that il
TOOK TWO hours to get the vessel clear OF the
wharf, &c. Now, the true statement of affairs
is simply this The cutter Dallas is kept securely
moored at Custom House wharf, when in port
as it is more convenient or the officers to get
mp town and back from the vessel than it
would be if she was in the stream at anchor
where all of the revenue vessels have formerly
laid and only came to the wharf for coal and
water. 1t was evident to any nautical man on
Monday afternoon that violent storm was at
hand, and if due precaution had been taken by
the captain of the revenue cutter he would have
had his ,ssei coaled up and ready to render
notice.
Another case. Wednesday word was brought
to the city that bark was outside disabled.
The captain of the cutter refused to go out at
first on account of thick weather. but after it
cleared up went out to look for the bark and
returned without finding her. In the after
noon Capt. Oliver in the little steamer Express
went out and found the brig Mary Fl. Chase,
that had been out in all the storm and had
suffered severely had her rudder irons carried
away and sails badly torn and lowed her safely
into port Now If this is the way in which
our revenue cutter renders assistance to disa-
bled vessels on our coast we say God help the
unfortunates. We cannot but feel as though
the captain of the Dallas is deserving of cen
sure in both of the cases before mentioned
MANY SHIPowNERs.
A 1emonsttance against the conduct of the
cutter during the storm is to be prepared and
will be presented to the merchants and ship
owners for signatures, and when signed will be
forwarded to Collector Washburn.
