MANY who are suffering from the effects of the
warm weather and are debiHtated, are advised by
physicians to take moderate amounts of whisky two
or three times during the day. In little while
those who adopt this advice frequently increase the
number Of "drinks," and In time become confirmed
inebriates. A beverage which will not create
thirst for intoxicating liquors, and which is intended
especially for the benefit OF deblitated persons,
whether at home or abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic. Containing the juices of many medic
ina herbs this preparation does not create an appe
tite for the intoxicating cup. The nourishing and
ife,supporting properties of many valuable natura
productions contained in it and well known to medi-
cal men have most Strengthening influence A single
bottle ofthe Tonic will demonstrate its valuable dual
ies For debility arising from Sickness over exer-
ton or from any cause whatever, wineglassful of
Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will strengthen
the stomach and create an appetite for wholesome
food. 10 all who are about leaving their homes, we
desire to say that the excellent effects Of DR..
Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonic,
ana Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when
taken by those who are injuiously affected by a
change OF water and diet. No person should leave
nome without taking supply of these safeguards
long. For sale by all Druggists. auieod&w1m

COLLISION OF THE SCHOONER IDA r FREE
MAN.-Capt Foster Of the schooner Ida r.
freeman of Wellfeet, Mass, gives the follow
ing particulars of the collision of that schooner
with the steamer Star of the East, last We'd
nesday morning. At2 O'clock in the morning
the schooner was sailing southwest from Sc.
gum, when the whistle of the steamer Star of
the East was heard. The lights of the schooner
were all right and her horn was blowing regu-
larry. After hearing the whistle for some time
the steamer was seen and had the appearance
of going astern of the Schooner all clear. Sud.
denly, however, she changed her course and
attempted to go ahead ard came in collision,
carrying away the bowsprt of the schooner

heading south southwest the wind being

nen Judge Mellen came to Portland in
louo, ne commenced housekeeping in the three
story mousse on the west corner of State and
gray streets which was built by Samuel Butts
10 !oOf. In April the same year he purchased
OF Joseph ID. IDgraham for $3.50, the lot, $50
1eet on state street, on whichihe built this house
next year. Judge Mellen brought his builder
from Blddeford-his name was Eaton, the
rather of Stephen w. Eaton who died a few
months ago. In this house Judge Mellen died
on the last day of the year 1910, aged rs, and
over MS grave the Cumberland Bar erected
noole and durable monument in the western
cemetery.
state street was opened and presented to the
Town by Joseph Ii. Ingraham, who owned the
iahu, IN io0l, and when Judge Mellen built his
mouse there were only three houses on the
street. Mr.. lngrahams on the corner of Dam
Iorth street, Neal ID. Shaw's, now G. S. Clark's,
built in 1902, and the Butts house on the cor
ner OF Gray street.
In 1873 the Mellen house was conveyed to
WIN: Fit Fessenden for which he paid $4,000,
and 1t became his residence. Senator Fesen-
uen death was too recent to require history
OF MS life, yet some data may not be uninter-
esting. He swas born in 1906, graduated at
Bowd0In college in 1923, before he was II years
OLD. lie was elected representative from PORT
Ian to the Legislature at the age of %, and req
resentative to Congress at a. In 1853 he was
elected United States Senator to succeed James
w. Bradbury, and was reelected in 1859. In
1864 he was appointed Secretary of the Treasu-
~ which office he resigned in 1865 and returned
to the Senate. He too was member of the
Rifle Corps, having been admitted when he
was 20. On the anniversary of the company
in June, 1881, Mr.. Fessenden delivered before
them, at the First Parish Church, an grafton
on the Polish revolution, which was then in
progress, and which excited the sympathy of
the friends of freedom throughout the world.
When listening to the boysh soldiers eloquent
appeal for the freedom of suffering Poland, we
little thought that we should see him take so
prominent part in guiding our own country
through bloody civil war Eand to the final
freedom OF the enslaved of the nation. Mr..
Eessenden died on the Sth of Sept. 1869, while
the sympathy of nation was centered at this
nouse-after Pickering for days in its socket,
light went out which had shone in the councils
OF state like beacon-light from a head-land.
From the distinguished men who have had
their homes in this old mansion in the seventy
years since it was erected, the next occupant
probably will expect to find wisdom in the
wainscot.' w q

BUSINESS EDUCATIoN-The season for the
opening of the fall and winter terms of our in.
sttutons of learning is fast approaching, and
doubtless many are yet hesitating before final
decision as to where they shall cast in their lot
for the winter. During these times the major
ity will seek to attend where the course of study
Is most practical, and designed to furnish one
in the least possible time with the knowledge
which can most readily be turned to account in
the pursuits of mercantile life. In this con-
nection the Portland Business College of this
city is worthy of consideration. Under the eff
fcient management of Prof. L. A Gray, this
institution has been graduating from year to
year some who are now ranked among the best
accountants of our city. The course of study
is as thorough and practical as that Of any sim
liar Institution in New England. The next
term begins September LIST, and there is no
doubt but many young men from this and ad.
joining states who will be in attendance on the
New England Fail, will avail themselves of the
opportunity to con firm what has been stated

DISTRICT CAMP.MEETING
FOurth Day.

The interest in the Methodist meeting at Old
Orchard continues undated and in fact rises
superior to even the wretchedly poor weather of
the week. The weather yesterday morning
was such that it was deemed unadvisable to
hold meeting in the tabernacle, so two were
appointed at half past ten, ore in the Bidde-
ford house. the other in the building Of the
Windham society. The former was addressed
by Rev. Mr.. Smith of Kittery, who spoke from
Romans V, 10. The other sermon at the came
hour was by Rev. j. II. Pilsbury, teacher of
Natural Science in the Springfield, Mass. High
School. He selected as his text the third verse
of I'd Hebrews, 'How shall we escape, if we
neglect so great salvation" The theme was
the greatness of the salvation, first, because it
meets the wants of the human family; second,
because it was costly plan of salvation, in
that Gcd SO loved the world that he gave his
only begotten son that all men through him
might be saved. The sermon was eloquent and
filled with deep, earnest spirituality that i'm
pressed his congregation with sense of the
preachers earnestness.
The bright sky of the Afternoon brought a
large audience to the stand, where Rev. Charles
Clark, pastor of Pine street cburth in this city,
preached a fine sermon to the upconyerted,
finding foundation for his remarks in the eps.
tie of James iii, II.
AT the close of the sermon an altar service
was hsld at the stand, and the large number OF
pehltents showed how deeply the words of the
| preacher affected the hearts of his hearers.
Inc evening prayer meetings were we'll attend
ed, and especially that in the Saccarappa tent.
