STOP THAT COUGH

The way to cure a cough is to stop It
The lungs aud throat can never heal as long
as they are irritated by a constant cough
DR.. Fcnner's Improved Cough Honey will
relieve any cough in one hour or less. Il
will break up a cold in the head before any
cough has formed, ir two to three hours
Prevention is better than cure! In chronic
coughs the system must be placed under the
healing influences of DR.. Fenner's Blood and
Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic also. Thi:
places the system in healing condition, and
under the two remedies the lungs and throaI
rapidly heal.

A Minister ParaIyzed at a Baptism

LISBON FALLS, May H.
Sunday afternoon about one thirty as Rev.
Mr.. Thomas of Gardiner, was baptizing some
converts of the Baptist church of this place,
he was suddenly stricken with paralysis and
his whole right side was paralyzed. 1t was
with great difficulty that he was brought to
the shore by one of the converts, young man.
Mr. Thomas was unable to speak and tell what
was the matter. He was Immediately lifted
into carriage and conveyed to the house of
Deacon Philbrook. Medical aid was summoned
and the case was pronounced not very serious.
His wife who his at home in Gardiner wac
Immediately sent for. Mr.. Thomas after being
thoroughly rubbed recovered his speech
in some measure but his utterance was
partially unintelligible.
When asked how he felt in regard to the
affair he said, ut is all right. If 1 had died
at the water it would have been well. Ihave
always prayed that L might die with the
armor on" Later iu the afternoon when
asked how he felt he replied, 81 feel as though
my work was finished, and that my right arm
will never do duty in the cause of God again.. %
In the evening his symptoms were as favorable
as could be expected.
Mr.. Thomas had baptized seven when the
attack occurred and two more were to follow.
Rev. Mr.. Howard of the Pine st. Church of
Lewiston, baptized five converts of the Freewill
Baptist church of this place Sunday morning.
and gave the right hand of fellowship to
twelve. After the baptism Mr.. Howard

The WONDERFUL CAR.-This paper recently
spoke of a car of wonderful invention which
ran over the Eastern road to test its condition.
This car is fitted with dynagraph. The dy-
nagraph is an instrument designed to measure
and record upon paper the resistance due to the
movement of trains; it also shows by the kind
Of a line made the general condition of the
track and motive power. 1t is fitted into car
which is attached next to the locomotive, and
is of the following description: Underneath
the car is a steel cylinder filled with oil, hav-
ing two pistons, one four inches and the other
one and one-fourth inches in diameter, SO ar
ranged that either can be used at pleasure.
The draw-bar of the car is extended back, and
draws directly on the piston, which forces the
oil in the cylinder through the pipe into small
cylinder in which is fitted a piston acting
against springs of known tension. The cross
head of the small piston moves the lever, car
rying the pencil, which records upon the NOV
ing paper the amount of force exerted. The
paper used is ten and three-fourths inches
wide, and its length ranging from $50 to 400
feet. The paper is moved by direct motion
from the car axle. 1t is wound upon a drum
upon one side of the instrument and passes
through two steel rollers, over little table one
foot square, through another set of rollers,
thence to another drum which Ewinds up the
paper as it passes through the rollers. Usually
one-fourth of an inch of paper is made to rep
resent 100 feet of track passed over. An cleo
trical chronograph records the time every seven
and ore-twelfth seconds, consequently the
speed for any given instant can be calculated
as this is necessary data in making the calcula-
ticns.

The GOoD TEMPLARs.-The Good TeInplars
OF Maine are active in preparing flor the i'm
portant meeting of the highest tribunal of this
order-the Right Worthy Grand Lodge of the
World-which convenes in this city, Tuesday,
May 22d, continuing through the week. The
order now numbers upwards of half million
members, and representatives are expected at
the meeting from all sections of the globe. AS
is meet and proper, the members of the order
are DESTROYS of giving to their brethren from
abroad welcome which shall do credit to the
state, and are making elaborate preparations
with this end in view.
On Tuesday evening there will be "Wel-
come Meeting at City Hall, at which ex-Gov
and P. G. W. G. T. Dingley will preside; and
welcome addresses will be made by Mayor But
Ter on behalf of the city; by His Excellency
Gov. Conner on behalf of the state; and by G.

Re-Appearance Of Frank CnrtI..

Mr. Frank Curtis, who won for himself dur
ing his engagement at the Museum last season
an enviable place in the affections of the
theatre-going public, opened brief engage.
ment last evening at Fanny Marsh's Theatre,
appearing as major Wellington De Boots in
every body's Friend" and John Schmidt in
"Forty Winks''.
Mr.. Curtis was very cordially welcomed as hs
stepped upon the stage and lifted the scarlet
KEPT of De Boots from his head, and the ap-
plause lasted for some moments. His very
funny impersonation of the valiant militia
major is familiar to Portland people, 1t GER
tainly has suffered no deterioration since last
given here and is as richly humorous as ever
There is no need to praise it in Portland. The
support was good. Miss Williams was a re-
markedly pleasing "Mrs. Swansdown," grace
full and vivacious. Miss Bailey was unusually
spirited as Mrs. Featherby." While Mr..
Armstrong did not make all he could of
Felix he gave praiseworthy rendition, and
Mr.. Sutton was very satisfactory as 'Icebrook.'
The afterpiece, 'Forty Winks" gave Mr..
Curtis opportunity for one of his most mirth-
provoking impersonations. He pictures the
weary traveller Of the popular old farce as
Teuton not long from the Fatherland and en-
dows him with many amusing traits not set
down in the prompter's book.
Last evenings bill will be repeated this and
tomorrow evenings and at the Wednesday mat
inee. 1t should draw large houses. The en-.
gagement of Mr. Curtis is for the week, and
during that time genuine, healthy fun will
reign at Fanny Marsh's Theatre.

DAVIS AGAIN IN THE FIELD.-In response
to Mr.. Reagan's challenge, in which he stipu

Fl. Landers says: 81 accept his proposition,
making the stakes his outside limit, viz, $1,000

week subsequent to the Silver Lake regatta. I
also accept on my own behalf and on behalf of
Mr.. M. f. Davis of Portland, SO much of
challenge made short time since in which it
was proposed to match Mr. P. Reagan and MI.
George Faulkner against any two men in New
England for race in double SOULS, distance
two or three miles, for $500 a side. Further
more, L offer to match Mr.. M. f. Davis of
Portland against Mr.. George Faulkner of
Boston, for single scull race, distance two or
three miles, for $500 side.'

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is tryir

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season. Indications of sickness shond at once be at
tended to. Fatal Diseases may be caused by allow
ing the bowels to become constipated, and the sys-
tenn to remain in disordered condition, until the
disorder has time to develop ITSELF An ounce pre-
vention is worth pound of cure is an old and truth
full saying. Therefore we advise all who are troub-
led with the complaints now very prevaent-head-
ache, indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite
nausea. or teverish skin, to take without delay
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy
so harmless and decisive in its action 1t at once
strikes at the root of the disease and produces
healthy tone to the system. People never need suf
fer from any disease arising from disordered con-
dion of the liver if they would take this excellent
medicine when they feel the first indications of the
malady. Families leaving home for the summer
months should take three four boxes Of these pills
with them. They have an almost instantaneous eff
feet. They will relieve the patient of headache in
two hours, anG will rapidly cleanse the liver
of surrounding bile, and will efectually prevent
bilious attack. They are sold by all druggists.

The REFORM SCHooL.-One of the subordi-
nate officers who has been discharged from the
Reform School for ineficiency. has been COM
planning about the management of the school.
lie says the boys are abused and that the SUI
perintendent is not fit for the position he holds.
The Argus has taken up these silly stories and
called upon the trustees to investigate the mat
ter. AT the regular meeting to-day the trus-
tees will hear any complaints that there are to
be made. 1t is safe to predict, however, that not
person will appear to say aught against Mr..
Wentworth. To show that there can not pos
sibly be any such condition of things as is COM
planned of, it is stated that during the month
of March there was not single instance in
which any kind of punishment was inflicted
upon the boys. The first part of April shows
the same result, and there has not been any
thing worthy of mentlen since that time.

CHANGES IN THE POSTAL RoUTEs.-Post-
master General Key has issued orders for the
weighing of all the mails carried on the differ
emit postal routes in the country, and where the
matter is not of sufficient iml ortance the route
service will be discontinued and and the mail
will be distributed at offices and sent in separ-
ate packages. Where the mail IS small the
force will be cut down to a large extent. The
mail on the Boston and Maine is said to be
smaller than it has been for some time and the
force will probably be reduced On the PORT
land and Rochester road the mails are yery
heavy now that great portion of the Western
and Southern mails come this way. Mails
which would arrive here at midnight over the
Eastern road now arrive at 1.3O over the Roch-
ester, thus making saving of nearly twelve
hours. They now only have route agencies
here, but it is expected that soon a postal route
will be established to provide for the large
mails,

Good Advice,

Now is the time of year for Pneumonia, Lung
Fever, &c. Every family should have bottle of
BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP. Don't allow for one
moment that cough to take hold of your child, your
family or yourself. Consumption, Asthma, Pnue-
monia Group Hemorrhages, and other fatal diseases
may set in. Although it is true GERMAN SYRUP is
curing thousands of these dreaded diseases yet it is
much better to have it at hand when three doses
will cure you. One Bottle will last your whole
family winter and keep you safe from danger.
If you are consumptve, do not rest until you have
tried this remedy Sample Bottle 10 cents. Regular
size rs cents. Sold by your Druggist.
