CITY AND WclRlTY.
The Mind Cure.

The old saying that there is nothing new un-
der the sun is true no doubt, for when a new
theory Is brought fairly to the light, we
usually fnd that it has been before the
world at former period. The doctrine of the
christian scientists may be new statement,
but the truth they teach is not new one
All history is full of examples of men and NO.
men being healed without medicine, and no
where do we find more Of it than in the New
Testament. We read there of people being
hidden to rise and walk, of the lame and the
blind being restored, but we do not stop with
that generation, for ever since we have read of
men who through the power of faith" the
"power of prayer" and the Influence of
mind" who have accomplished remarkable
results.
Thegs thoughts are brought to mind by the
TACT that In Maine at the present time this
practice has been carried on to considerable
extent with results that are not less than re-
markable.
In order to satisfy my desire for knowledge
on this subject, called on Mrs DIR. Poole of
Gardiner, who is having such remarkable sue
cess in Dealing the sick, and in conversation
CLEANED the following facts:
/. The Christian Scientists Cor metaphy-
sciansl belieye that health is the result of spiri
tual harmony. All disease is error, and may be
baIlshed from the patient by q proper con-
dition OF thought. The material is the lower
condition, and IS fast as we rise above this we
enter into the real existence which is spiri-
tual.
2. The theory OF nearly all the best healers
was given to the world in its present form By
Mrs. DR.. Eddy of Boston, of whom DIR. Poole
has been student. The healers do not claim
TO be magnetic physicians, nor "mediums:n
but teach the theory to others, and rely only
upon the influence OF the spiritual on the
material.
3. Inquiries in regard to the practical effects
OF the treatment do certainly show some re-
suits that are certainly worthy of consider
alton. One gentleman had been afflicted with
stomsch-trouble for long time. There
seemed to be canker that was very annoy
ing, and food was refused until his system was
reduced to very low condition. Under the
scientist or metaphysician's treatment he be-
gan TO eat In few days, and continued to i'm
prove without Interruption. Another gentle
mau had been reduced to diet of Cruel, and
had so greatly weakened, that as last resort
he tr1eo the mind treatment. In six days he
ate OF full meal boantifully, and was soon
cough and was pronounced subject of con-
sumption; To-Day be is perfectly well.
These Cases can Re multiplied, il need be,
IN the same little city, and anyone who will be
at the trouble to do SO, can find that not one
has been overstated.
1t is very fair way to get at the facts by
examination No theory that is new or
strange, can hope to stand without practical
test. In this case practical tests stare every
man in the face who cares TO look for them,
and in medicine as well as in life We may say:
There are more things in Heaven and earth,
Horatio, than are dreamed of in our philoso-
ply" REP RrER

THE CLOSING GAME TODAY.

THE CLOSING GAME TODAY.
This afternoon the Tremonts will be here, and no
doubt nine viii be brought by them strong
enough to defeat the Portlands; at least that is
what they write they intend to do. They have been
here twice before this season the grounds and
suffered defeat both times, the Portands defeating
them the last time by only two runs. This game
will close the season upon the Portland grounds,
and the men will all be released tonight. IL they
play game next week for their benefit all of them
will stop until then, and some of them will remain
here all winter.
PoRTLAEDs, %; MECHANICS, 5.
The game between the above clubs yesterday, as
was to be expected. was won by the Portlands, al
though much better exhibition of fielding was
looked for from the Mechanics. The visitors are
fine looking clEb, and with steady practice next
season will be pretty hard team to defeat They
showed up poorly at the bat yesterday well as in
the field, but good deal of their poor playing was
due to the nervousness which possessed them upon
facing such club as the Portlands. The Portlands
played another terrific batting game but were
away off in throwing Chatterton filled the box for
the Portlands, and was decidedly effective, only
two hits being made off him, and thirteen striking
out The pitcher of the Mechanics, with practice,
will make good one this being his first season,
but the ca cher is not quick enough, his many
passed balls giving numerous runs. The visitors
were thorough gentlemen, not a word being said by
them at the obviously wrong decisions made by Mr..
Noble at times (slthough not Intentionally on his
part.) Next year we shall hope to see the
Mechanics here again, and q much better exhibit
tion from them. The score:
