the hay, struck the horse standing in the barn
floor, killing him instantly. The bolt ther

Young Mems Christian Associ alton

The twenty-6fth anniversary of this organi-
cation was observed last evening at the Chest
nut street church. Rev. Mr.. Day conducted
the opening exercises after which the chair
was occupied by the President Mr.. 7. L. HER
lihy.
The report of the managers was presented
by w. 81. Hobbs, from which we CLEAN the fol.
lowing items: Our name does not so much
indicate the age and sex of the members as it
does the class of the community for whose well
fare the association was formed. The member
ship is composed of all ages aud both sexes,
but work for young men is the special object of
the society. The present membership is, act
i've 166, associate 36, life 70. An attractive
membership certificate has been issued The
Helping Hand has been regularly published.
There are on file in the reading room about 40
papers and magazines, and it has been lef t
open every day, Sundays excepted. There is,
we believe, but one other similar resort in the
city, while the places of evil associations may
be counted by scores. Can any who have
brothers and sons permit the closing of such a
resort? A few volumes have been donated to
the library during the year. The receipts Of
cash have been 1854 81, and the amount IN hand
1888. A number have been supplied with
food and passes. The Deering Bridge Sunday
school reports 10 teachers and SS scholars with
an average attendance of "a and receipts of
1914. The Aliens Corner Sunday school re.
ports 8 teachers aHd SO scholars with an aver
age attendance of So, books in library 300, and
$83 20 collections.
Two addresses to young men have been Civ
en-. Messrs. Shaw, McKenny, Smith and Nit.
chell have been laboring under the auspices Of
the state executive committee, and have been
instrumental, with others, in the apparent con.
version of more than 1000 persons. Messrs
Roberts, Uff ord and Jones have been laboring
under the auspices of our association, visiting
Buxton, Gorham, Appleton, Naples, Poland,
Sedgwck, North Sedgwick and Brooklin, in
which places about 300 persons have been hap.
PLY converted. Reference was made to the
condition of the work throughout the country,
and the increasing favor in which it is held by
the churches and people.
Interesting remarks followed from Rev. Mr..
Dalton, f. w. Mckinney and Capt. J. B.
Coyle. The exercises we're interspersed with
singing by the church chorus choir.

THE REVENUE FRAUDs.-The commission
finished their labors Saturday and returned to
Boston. They were satisfied that the frauds
at this port were not very extensive, but that
under the existing state of affairs there could
be an differentiation on goods if the importers
were unprincipled enough to effect it. Two of
our importers were present and gave their ideas
to the commission. One of the N was selected
to write letter to Secretary Sherman stating
the difficulties at this port.

BUSINESS TROUBLES George r. Davis, the
well-kuown real estate dealer, who has been
embarrassed for some time, filed petition in
bank ruptcy on Saturday. His failure is owing
to the great shrinkage in the value of real es-
tate of late and to the depreciation of railroad
bonds in which he was largely interested. His
unsecured liabilities amount to about $4,000
81. w. Deering, who was an endorser of d avis
paper and also interested with him in various
investments, has also failed.

Reasons Why AL Should Use the
Reacti0nary Health Lift.

1t makes strong appeals to the common sense of
every man or woman in every walk of life. 1t
furnishes an exercise which may and should be in
trOduced into every house; which may be practced
at all seasons in all kinds of weather, by persons of
both sexes, all ages, and degrees of strength or
weakness, alone or in company. No one can say too
much in praise of it, and no one can afford to do
and consider it Invaluable and indispensable. 1t is
the safest, simplest, cheapest and most efficient
medicine discovered. No claim Is set up for it
which is unscientific or impractcable.
General.-It is the best of rest. 1t is perfectly
safe. No harm ever came from its use. 1t strains
to the affected parts. By its the health is easily
maintained The purchase of Reactionary Litter
is the best kind of economy. The convenience Of
having one in the house is very great.
Mind and Brain. lit invgorates and

and efficient in all its operations.
sieep.-1t is the simplest and safest narcotic. 1t
inducing sound and refreshing sleep.
Nerves.-lt Is wonderful tonic to the whole
nervous system. 1t is most eficaeious remedy in
paralysis, if tlken in time.
Lungs, Throat and Voice. 1t gives special

A WOMAN BURNED TG DEATH.-The alarm
of fire from box 26 Saturday morning was
struck by some one who saw light in the
three story house in Halls Court aud supposed
the building was on fire. Instead of that an
old lady named Prince about eighty years old ,
who occupied a room in the house, had been
burned to death. 1t seems that she opened the
stove to replenish the fire and her clothes took
fire. She ran to another room, the fire burn
ing all the more briskly. Mr.. Chamberlain
arrived and did his best to extinguish the
flames but did not succeed until the poor
woman was partially burned. In his efforts to
save her he was badly burned. The woman
lived but few hours.
Mr.. Chamberlain is hard-working and in
dustrious man and has large family to sup
port In trying to save this unfortunate
woman his hands were SO seriously injured that
it will be weeks before he will be able to work.
1t will thus be seen that here is case for chari-
ty, and anything sent this family will not be
misappled. Those who feel disposed to help
them can leave their donations with Mr..
Seward Frank at the Transcript office.
