"A Physician Complimensed.

Speaking of DR.. Crandall who published a
papar on "Is Alcohol Poison" in the Dover
Morning Star, that paper says: "Dr. G. is a
young, very talented and rising physician, and
is specially interested in the theme presented
aud qualified to speak thereon. The Portland
PRES and eminent gentlemen like Hon. Neal
Dow and Hon. BENZ. Kingsbury of Portland,
speak in high terms of his lectures in that city
on the physiological effects of alcohol We
congratulate Portland on possessing the ser.
vices of DR.. Crandall and our readers on the
engagement which we have secured with him
to furnish US occasional articles on the same
important theme which he presents this week.
To two points-the nature and effects of alco-
hol, and the work of advancing prohibitory
legisation--w we expect to give more space in
the Star during 1885 than heretofore.

Advice to raothers.

Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should al
ways be used when children are cutting teeth.
1t relieves the little sufferer at once; it pro-
duces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the
child from pain, and the little cherub awakes
ss "bright as button" 1t is very pleasant to
taste. 1t soothes the child, softens the gums,
allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the
bowels, and is the best known remedy for diar-
rhea, whether arising from teething or other
causes Twenty-Five cents bottle.

The Epforcemept of ,l,e Law.

Within few weeks number OF temper
ance conferences have been held in Maine
cities at the call of the secretary and general
agent Of the State Central Temperance Com
mittee, Rev. 81. @. Munson of this city, the
object being to awaken public sentiment and
secure vigorous and non-partisan enforce
ment of the law. A conference with this OBJ
ject in view was held at the State Temperance
Headquarters, in this city, Monday, and a
course of action was outlined and adopted.
A number of prominent workers were present
All wers united, and there seems to be a de-
termination to make vigorous effort to
arouse public sentiment to the pitch of de-
manding the enforcement OF the law in the
city and throughout the State. Another con-
ference is to be held this week.

ON THE ROLLERS.
GRANITE c1rys. 3: prIous. {

GRANITE cITYs, 3; BIJoUs, 0.
Tho Bilious went to Augusta last night to play the
Granite Citys in a league game. and were defeated
by three straight goals ia eight minutes. The cause
was plainly badly lighted rink which the Granite
Citys accustomed to- the Bilious kept the ball
near the Granite City's goal nearly all the time
But when it would come creeping across the floor
none but an eagle eye could it, and before the
Bi Gus knew it hardly, they were left. Two of the
Granite Citys men, Mel and Mark Day were absent
but their places were well filed Farrell of the j.
ID. RS of Augusta and Weeks OF the Hallowell In
dependents, doing fine work in their positions
The first goal was won by Farrell in one minute.
The ball went SO near the post that it was ques-
tion whether it goal or not, many said not
but the referee gave it to the Granite Citys Far
rell won the second one also, in one minute by a
straight drive through. The last was won by Locke
in four minutes. The ball came through from ths
back and was pushed right back. Every goal that
was made on Norway were the most difficult kiud
of balls to stop. the Granite Citys goal had more
work to do, but his stops were all clean ones and
ones he could hardly help had he chose. The boys
were finely treated by the Granite City and their
friends and the best of feeling prevailed.
The return game will be played at the Biiou to-
morrow night and it will probably be one of the
hardest fought ones yet.
There will be a bon bon party at the Portland
rink tonight.

Burned Ont.

Monday night the engineer of Machigonne,
No. l, Mr.. Porter. thought that there was
something the matter with the Ere alarm in
dicator and, on examination, found that the
box was burned out, and also the gong and
signal boxes. Superintendent Sawyer, of the
Electric Light Company, was notified aud, in
consequence, the lights on that circuit were ex-
ting uished. 1t is probable the electric wire was
sagged on to the fire alarm wire as the alarm
box in MIR. G. A. Harmon's store was also
burned out.

FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 8.

A CLERGYMAN TENDERLY EMBRACED
On Monday night, at about nine o'clock, as
the Rev. Joseph NJ. Goertner, of Utica,
n. Y, was passing through East Forty'hfth
street, New York, on his way to the Grand
Central Depot to take train for home' ne
was accosted by large, elegantly dressed
woman. who threw her arms around ms
neck aud exclaimed sob, John, how glad
7 am to see YOU. l have been waiting for
Won for over a half hour" While the aston
ished clergyman was endeavoriug to tree
himself from the woman's grasp, he telt
tug at the pocket in which he kept his
purse, and Immediately afterward the
woman released him and commenced TO
apologize, SAYING that she had mistaken
him for her husband. She was about to
walk away when Mr.. Goertner, who had
felt in his pocket and found that his purse
which contained $40 was missing, seized her
by the shoulder and accused her Of having
robbed him. She Indignantly denied the
charge and commanded the gentleman to
release her. While they were talking
nashily attired man stepped up and said =
well, what is the matter here. what are
YOU doing to this lady, sir?" The reverend
gentleman Immediately let go his hold upon
the woman and, while ne was endeavorlng
to explain to the new conner the clrcum-
stances of the case, she slipped away aud
made her escape AS soon as she had had
time to get good distance away, the fancy
dressed man suddenly turned on his heel
and darted off on run, leaving the be-
wildered clergyman standing alone. He
will be careful to watch females who are
looking for their husbands when he goes
travelling in future.
