Mrs. Annie NJ. Faulkner, 2s years old, a
noted denizen of Cushnoc Heights, died at
LAO Sunday morning from the effects of a
heavy dose of morphine taken II hours be-
lore. The woman's death seems to have
been the logical sequence of her life. Al
though so young, she was living with her
third husband, and was the mother of bow
IL years old. About year since she mar

quently quarreled. On Thursday last Fsulk-
ner came home, as he says, sick With the
cole. and his wife fixed him ND dose of
whiskey. which must have contained some
oeietefious substance, as it produced tenn
porary mania. When he came to himself he
was on Main Top, boots in hand, bareheaded
and barefooted. There was so much COM
plant to the police by people residing in the
locality Of the disorderly and disreputable
character of the house. that the man was ar
rested on Friday for drunkenness, and a
warrant also was issued for the womap's ar
rest Faulkner paid bis fine and costs and
was dismissed. Upon his return home he
was refused admission to the bouse. and
Obliged to pass the night at a neighbor's
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Faulkner sent her
little boy down town to an apothecary store
to procure halfounce vial of morphine,
which drug she had been accustomed to take
in small quantities for over year. He re-
turned about o'clock and the woman took
about 40 grains Of this powerful narcotic

TALLY unconscious. Dr. Scott Hill was sent
for, but upon his arrival the poison had been
so thoroughly incorporated into the woman's
system that antidotes were of no avail. She
was thoroughly narcotized and remained in
a lethargic state until 7-40 Sunday morning,
when she breathed her last. Coroner VIM
II. Libbey was summoned, but deemed an
inquest unnecessary. 1t was plainly Mrs.
Faulkuer's intention to commit suicide, as
she had purchased five chambered revolver
a few hours before she took the morphine,
but evidently recoled from ending her exis-
tence by shooting and choose death by poi
son in preference.

Humor. OF the Conference.

Just previous to the recent Congregational
conference, in this city, the committee that
had in charge the entertainment of guests
and delegates, received many letters stating
the individual preferences of the proposed
visitors some Of these were more curious,
than modest in their demands. For instance,
one minister, from a rural crossroads meet
ing house, wrote that he objected to being
placed as a guest in a private household, but
would prefer being sent to q hotel, if the
committee would pay the bills. Another
gentleman, who appears to have been some-
thing of family man, stated in his letter
that six of his family would visit Bangor to
attend the conference; that they should ex-
pect to be all sent to the same place, and de-
sired to go where there was a piano and
whese they could have the use of the parlor.
third delegate wrote to say that if there
were no objections, he would like to bring

but who enjoyed the meetings very much

Those who are trying to suppress the i'm
portation of liquor into this State may be in
terested to know that one of the many meth
DDS adopted in Boston to evade the Maine
law 10 to send the liquors in barrels which
are fac SMILES of kerosene oil barrels. An
effort is being made to stop this by means of
the internal revenue laws, and test case was
up in the United States Circuit Court at Bos-
ton last week. A firm in Boston shipped a
barrel Of whiskey to New Hampshire town.
The barrel had been duly stamped and gagged
by govern ment officers. but afterward false
head ven, or was placed over the real head
which DO. &c the stamps and seals. The bar
rel was painted blue, the end red, and the
whole lateled kerosene OIL" This was done
to oblige the customers and not to evade the
revenue laws. The firm is accused Of vio-
lating the United States statue on the sub
ject. The alleged facts being admitted
pro forma verdict of guilty was returned that
the case can be brought before the court on
Law points involved.

Druggists and ApOthecaries.

Perhaps one of the most important bust
ness interests necessary to the good health
and welfare of a community, is that of the
druggist and apothecary. The most impor-
tant requisites for the successful prosecution
of this business are a central location. a good
stock in each department, a perfect knowl-
edge of all the intricacies OF the trade and
the confidence of the people to whom they
cater. Such requisites as these may all be
found at the well-known establishments of
+. G. Kinsman & Co.. which are located at
the corner of Bridge and Water streets, and
at the Fuller Drug Store (next to the Express
Ofice.) The stocks kept are large and
varied. chosen from the best markets of the
country, with that extreme care obtained
only by long experience in the business, and
each department bears the systematic and
clearly look OF careful attention. Every
thing may be found at these places that is
generally kept in frst-class establishments of
this kind. In addition to all the standard
medicinal preparations, drugs. chemicals.
trusses, spporters, etc, may be found a full
and complete stock of perfumery, brushes
and toilet articles of every description.
The prescription department at the Fuller
store is under the management of Mr.. S. w.
Richardson (who Is registered apothecary,)
whose years of experience have made him so
proficient as to need no comment at our
hands.
The prescription department at the corner
Of Bridge and Water streets, is under the
management of F. G. Kinsman and George S.
Allen, both of them having a thorough
knowledge Of the business, and is conducted
with system and accuracy, and none but the
expert hands are allowed to compound ply
sician's orders.
Patrons of this establishment will find in
the stocks displayed every element of salts
faction to themselves, both in variety and
freshness, moderate and reasonable prices.

lastly, for cold days, are pretty suits of white
nuns cloth, trimmed with soutache braid and

After spun-silk hose, the first choice are
the lisle-thread stockings. which come in all
the new shades of mastic. crushed strawberry,

Burgundy. cadet blue. and claret, as well as
the more delicate shades Of water-green,
pearl, cameo, flesh, mauve, and many other
exquistely delicate tints. Black hose are in
great demand. as we'll as those of dark green
anu nuns gray, three shades which are IN
high vogue with ladies of fine tastes. Aside
from hose of a monochrome color, are an end
less variety of fancy ribbed. plaided, striped,
and polka-dotted patterns, which accord ex-
actly with many of the dress effects in color
and pattern. The fashion of wearing the very
low-cut Louis XIV. slippers, or Grecian san
dals, which display SO much of the stocking,
has caused great demand for hose elaborate
ly decorated in 10th fanciful and artistic de-
signs. As a result, there has been lively
competition among the manufacturers, and
stockings which were but lately to be found
in few standard dyes now appear in every
conceivable shade of color, and ornamented
in most novel and striking manner. ChOos-
ing stocking to harmonize with the costume
is much followed, and in the latest dyes are
to be found all the fashionable aesthetic
shades, noticeable in dress fabrics, both in
pale and dark colors. In anticipation of the
demand tor dainty openwork and other fancy
hose, to be worn with delicate summer cos
tunes, unusual preparation has been made,
and besides this great attention bas been paid
to the manufacture of stockings for general
wear in the matter of durability as well as
fineness Of texture. Children's hosiery fol-
lows very closely in design and color the
styles brought out for older persons, but as a
rule children do not wear deliberately orna-
mented or openwork hose.
