SMALL Pox.

The first case of small pox this season in Port
land was reported Saturday, Thevictlm is James
d. Kimball, a Portland & Rochester brakeman,
who boards at the Cumberland House, at the foot
of Green street. He fell ill Friday night when he
arrived on his train, and Saturday his roommate
was impressed with the belief it was a case of
small pox. A down town physician sent Kimball
to DR.. Smith, city physician who was i'll, and who
therefore did not know the nature of the mans
malady, but DR., Getchell, next door, recognized
the disease, notified DR.. Smith, and that officer
Immediately hunted up the patient, isolated him,
tagged the hotel, vaccinated the inmates, and
with the prompt assistance of Mayor Deering and
Marshal Andrews, had the house guarded. The
patient was, later, removed to the pest house DR..
Smith also notified the State Board of Health.
The Cumberland House was thoroughly fumi-
gated yesterday morning by Dr. Smith, the city
physician. The inmates will be confined to the
house until there is no danger of their becoming
sick with the disease. DR.. Smith states that the
patient is now sick with severe variolod
The Board of Health held meeting at the
Mayors Office yesterday afternoon. Mayor Deer
ing, City Physician Smith, City Clerk Burgess and
Messrs Woodbury., Hobbs and Somers were pres
ent. 1t was voted to offer an opportunity for free
vaccination to all citizens applying, and DR..
Smith will be in attendance at Reception Hall
daily from II to p. m. for that purpose.
The board makes the following statement
through its chairman, the Mayor:
The Board of Health, through its chairman, de-
sires to state that undue anxiety need exist in
the public mind regarding the recent case of
varioloid at the Cumberland House. The young
man had been vaccinated and the disease thereby
materially modified in its yirulence. Neither had

tagon might be most feared.
Strict measures of prevention have been adopt
ed and will be vigorously enforced. Meanwhile
the board asks tie public to refrain from crcu-
lating or giving credence to idle rumors or exag
gerated reports. All suspected cases will be thor
oughly investigated and the community will re-
ceive the most complete protection possible.

The Togus Beer Case.

1t will be remembered that few weeks ago
Portland officers seized in freight car twenty
kegs of lager beer marked National Soldiers
Home Store, Togus." Saturday morning Gen.
Stephenson, governor of the Home and Capt.
Cobblaugh, the treasurer, came before Judge
Gould to claim the beer. Herbert M. Heath of
Augusta appeared for them. Assistant County
Attorney Libby appeared for the State Mr..
Heath claimed that the beer was not intended for
sale in violation of any law, certainly not any
State law, since it was intended to be sold on
ground coded to the United States. A vote of the
managers of soldiers homes was read authorizing
the establishment of stores at various homes, the
profit to be called the amusement fund to be spent
for the benefit of the inmates of such home The
place where beer is sold is distinct from the gen.
eral store, and no liquor is sold to anyone but a
member of the home.
1t was claimed by Mr.. Libby, counsel for the
State, that Judge Webb's late decision covered
the case. This was, that by section 1891, Revis-
ed Statutes of the United States, the State law
became a United States law by adoption, to be en-
forced by the United States courts. Judge Gould
continued the case for decision.

TEMPERANCE MEETING.
Address by Mrs. Mclaughlin at High
Street Church Last Evening.

The first of the series of temperance meetings
to be given under the auspices of the Womans
Christian Temperance Union and the Law and
Order League was held last evening in the High
street church. The attendance was good. After
an appropriate service, consisting of reading of
the Scripture and Offering of prayer by the pastor
Rev. DR.. Fem, and singing by the choir and con-
gregation, Mrs. Mclaughlin of Boston, one of the
national superintendent of the w. c. 7. u, was
introduced as the speaker of the evening.
Mrs. Mclaughlin is a good speaker and pre-
sented her subject In forcible manner. She held
the attention of her hearers for over an hour and
reviewed the origin work and aims of the W. C.
I. o. The organization grew out of a Christian
desire for good and has been so conducted as to
gain strength and power although mistakes have
been made in its management. Things have been
said which had better been left unsaid, and meas
ures adopted which time has shown to have been
not for the best, but the purpose and the results
have been good.
The speaker said that after all it was the same
missionary spirit which prompted the workers in
foreign lands that today underlies the efforts of
this association. 1t is the business of the church
to uplift, at home as well as abroad, and it is a
business of the saloon to degrade, and the saloons
are terribly successful.
with opposition and criticism. Charges are made
against them which time must be allowed to
prove as worthless. 1t has been said that the
fanatics of one age are the saints of the next.
Great results come from the feeble efforts begun
by neglected and often despised men. The Puri-
tans laid the foundation for religious liberty in
this country, and later small band of men signed
the Declaration of Independence, the outgrowth
of movement against oppression and tyranny,
made amid the greatest perils. Only quarter of
a century ago the black cloud of civil war hung
over this country to roll away leaving four million
of freed men as the result of the labors of Gar
rison, Phillips and the rest of the little band of
anti-slavery agtators 1t is the hope of temper
ance people that as result of their work the day
is coming when the children yet unborn will see
national law prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating liquors in this country.
Among the greatest hindrances to the work of
the Union today is the silent liberation of the
liquor traffic exhibited by many influential people
These people have temperance principles, but fail
to take that decided stand for the suppression of
the traffic which would insure its extinction.
Another great hindrance is that disagreeabe
spirit manifested by those whose glances are
always on the dark side, and who are ever ready
to say 81 told you so" after defeat, no matter
what may have been the odds against which the
fight was made.
At the conclusion of Mrs. McLaughins remarks
DR.. Fem spoke few words and the meeting was
dismissed.

The Health Lift.
eod&w

My first acquaintance with the Health Lift was
two years ago. had then been compelled to re
lnquish ministry on account of an entire prostra
Hon of my nervous system, which had resulted in
an inability to sleep. 1 soon found that ten min
utes' exercise on the Health Lift did more to re-
lax the nervous strain, and induce sleep than
hours of walking in the open air, or than any ex-
ercse whatever. l use the Machine now, every
day, and could not do without it.
AS rest after hard study and an inauguration of
the entire system, I do not know of any exercise
that is equal to it. REV. E. P. GARDNER.
