How beautiful are the above lines
uttered by the worlds greatest
mind! How infinite the scope of
mans power if his faculties are
well preserved. Nothing, short of
creation, is to him impossible. Our
soul is lost in admiration when we
contemplate the possibilities of this
greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow
er. Yet what is this ''quint-essence
of DUST when blasted by disease
his noble functions perverted or de-
strOyed?
As sail men are born free and
equal" as far as moral rights are
concerned, so likewise we hold they
should be born physically, but as
long as children must suffer for the
sins of their parent this cannot be.
That the human race has deteriOr-
ated physically is conceded ques
ton. To restore it is an impOssi-
bility, as long as people persist in
immortality and induIgences which
are in disregard of natures laws.
The most we can do then is to
ameliOrate this condition, and cure
disease in individuals.
To this end we offer to the pub
| lie. remedies which have done
more gOOd--accOmplished better
results i'm OyerthrOwing disease
than any others which have been
discovered up to the present time,
viz:
DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND
| STOMACH SANATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible rem
edy for all affections of the Liver
and Stomach, and is besides an in
valuable general tonic. The lat
ter is reliable cure for all ner-
yous diseases and conditions, such
as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous
Prostitution, Depression caused by
OyerW0rk, etc.
These remedies are extensively
prescribed by physicians, recon-
mendation which does not obtain
with any other proprietary article,
and command at the hands of the
druggists in New England larger
sale than any other medicine.

hold is an unparalleled record of
success, and the strongest proof
of their excellence. As positive
evidence we have thousands of tes-

to show, but which space prevents

Aquatic.

Peter II. Conley, the sculler, takes occasional
practice spins in our harbor. He seriously con-
templates a visit to England this winter to meet
George Perkins, the English champion, in single
scull race over the Thames championship course
He states that in the event of his leaving for Eng
land: in January he will issue challenge to Neil
Matterson, the Australian oarsman, who recently
challenged William Beach for the championship,
to row race in England, or he will accept rea-
sonable expenses and go to Australia Conley
proposes to challenge Wallace Ross and c. E.
Courtney, and should either fail to accept he will
throw down the gauntlet to Hanlan. In the event
of the ex-champion rowing double with Jake
Gaudaur as has been suggested, Conley will
double up with John Teemer and give them a
race. Heretofore Conley has been inclined to
keep quiet, but next season he proposes to row
any oarsman, barring John Teemer, that signifies
a willingness for a race.

cosnel MissIon MusicaIe.

Rev. S. F. Pearson of the Gospel Mission has
long felt the necessity of some kind of meeting
that would be attractive to the young people on
Saturday evenings and help to draw young men
from the streets ana billiard halls and has estab
lshed a Peoples course in the Mission on that
evening If the one held last Saturday is to be
any criterion no doubt they will be crowned with
success.
Instrumental music was furnished by Mrs. M.
A. Bent and Miss Lena Reynolds cornetists assist
ed by number of talented young men under the
direction of Mr.. F. A. Bent. There was also good
singing and reading. Mr.. Farrell played several
solos on the harmonica. We understand that a
number of our prominent clergymen have promis-
ed to assist and one of their number will deliver
a short address every Saturday.
Everything will be done to make these meetings
attractive. 1t is proposed to hold the entertain
ment for this week on Thursday evening instead
of Saturday.

Design for the soldiers monument.

Mr. Clarence S. Luce of New York, has sent to
the Portland Soldiers and Sailors Monument As
sociation model of design for military monu-
ment. The model is executed in plaster, and is
now on exhibition at the studio of Mr.. Fl. B.
Brown, chairman of the committee on design. 1t
is hoped that all who interested in the matter
will take an early opportunity to call and see
what Mr.. Luce proposes to do. The design was
made for Market Square, and the model is placed
on foundation representing the form of the
square. The monument, according to this plan,
is to stand on an enclosed platform fftyeight feet
square, constructed of stone with mosaic pave
ment. At the angles of the platform are to be
four electric lights. The column will rise to a
height of about 40 feet and is beautifully proper
toned. On the base are panels for sculpture, and
battle scene in bias relief is sketched on the
shaft. So far the main features of the design are
purely architectural and MI. Luce is an architect
The figures on the summit will be made by
sculptor, but in order to complete the model Mr..
Luce has added a group of bronze figures repre-
senting valor, History and Peace. These figures
will be about ten feet high, making so feet for the
elevation of the monument. The design is origi-
nal and striking and deserves and will repay
