GORHAM.

GOkHAM.
The recent storm which set in Monday
forenoon was hailed by all our people with
gseat delight as in addition to the water sup
ply becoming very short the buildings had
become so dry that serious fears were enter
tanned that general COZ aaagratiea might oe-
cur, in which case extensive damage would
be the result as our village is poorly pre-
pared to contend with an extensive fire.
The report of the death of General Sheri-
dan was received in Gorham with feeling
of profouno sorrow. On all hands we hear
the expression "a noble soldier, a worthy
patriot and an able military chieftain has
gone to his rest" Nor is Gorham alone in
sorrow for the whole American people are in
mourning for the hero of the Shenandoah.
The memory of Philip ii. Sheridan and the
brilliant military record which he leaves be-
hind him will live In the hearts of his coun-
trymen to the latest posterity-no country
can boast of truer patriot or worthier ex-
ample of brave and heroic doing than can
the land which gave him birth.
Our people appear to be well pleased, at
least the Republicans do, with the nomina-
tion of Ex-Governor Robbie for representative
to the next legislature, as we'll they may be.
Our farmers are well nigh through with
their haying and have secured fair crop
but not so much as last year.
The village is quite free from sickness at
the present time. G.

SPEECHES.
After the resolutions were adopted the
delegates began to scatter as it was dinner
time. But the chairman said he thought the
eonyention would like to hear from Hon. w.
IL: Vinton of Gray.
Mr.. Vinton took the floor and proceeded
10 instruct the convention as to what he
knows about the Republican party being
late convert to Democracy from that
party Mr.. Vinton said it was a
grand old party years ago when
he belonged to it, but its mission end
s 81 wtn the ner abolition Of
Blaine. and Boutelle and Wakefield and that
class of men. In the old days nobody heard
OF assessments except for legitimate CAM
paign purposes. Now great salaries are at
tached to offices SO that tat assessments can
be levied for an enormous campaign fund TO
be used in corrupting people. The Republi-
can party used to be in favor of temperance.
Now this campaign fund Is used to pay silly
women and missionaries to tell the people
how Incorporate temperance is. Then Mr..
Vinton turned to the tariff, declared the Re-
publicans were really for free trade; said
that Tom Reed was the champion of mono
polists and stock jobbers, and that when
Townsend skinned him in the Honse saying
not a stock jobbing company comes before
the body but what Reed had to defend 1t, |
that Reed could say in answer was, II ap-
peal to the House who know him Town
send and / appeal to my constituents who
know me-" Now, said Vinton, am one of
his constituents and know Reed. Speak
ing of the tariff he said the Democrats were
already victorious by the passage of the
Mills bill in the House. Only last year said
he the House with twenty Democrats acting
with the Republicans wouldn't touch the
tariff. Grover Cleveland took the highest
Christian position when he said the tariff
must be reduced. The Senate see it and
now they are trying to reduce the tariff.
Blaine never would let the September cleo
tions be put over until November, continued
the speaker, because he wanted the election
to go out as preparatory boom over the
country, but this year there is a good pros
pect that the election will prove wet blan-
ket tor Blaine.
When Mr.. Vinton had finished, Hon.
George Walker was called on to talk about
lumber. Mr.. Walker said the racket that free
trade on lumber would be great injury to
Maine was piece of sheer nonsense. He
talked facts not theories. He said the Re-
publicans get the st. John and st. Croix
river bills through Congress so they could
cut all the lumber they wanted in Aroostook,
and anywhere else on the river, have it
foated down to st. John or st. Andrew, and
manufactured and re-admiti ed into the States
free of duty. He declared that from 1854 to
1866, Maine had eleven years of free trade in
lumber under the reciprocity treaty. Dur
ing that time his stumpage increased in val
ne from $1.50 for spruce to So, and on pine
from So to S..

A WARNING.

The modes OF deaths approach are various, and
statistics show concluswely that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any
other. 1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers Of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop at
first slowly, and is shown by slight tickling SEN
sation in the throat, and if allowed to continue
their rayages they extend to the lungs, producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and II allowed to pro-
coed will, in time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous, and may lose you
yeur life. AS soon as you feel that something's
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain bottle Of Boschees German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief. noy8-d1y-cT

Suicide.

Last July, the 31st day, man named
David Frank, who was Jew tramp from
Baltimore, was taken in charge by the po-
lice as he was evidently insane. His mania
was strange one, He insisted he had lost
his soul. He was taken to the almshouse,
and lately seemed to be doing well. Yester-
day while Mr.. Randall was away from the
house the engineer had occasion to go into
the attic to make some repairs, and on his
return he passed Franks room. Looking in
he saw the man suspended from rail in the
room. He went in and found that Frank
had tied one end of a sheet to the rail, fas-
tened the other end about his neck, and then
kneeling had choked to death. DR.. King
and Coroner Gould were called but con-
sidered an inquest unnecessary. Frank was
Sc years old.

Store which is devoted to articles for interior
decorations, you must have noticed the gOr-
peous ribbon-bedecked Baskets there, In
the collection are probably twenty or more
baskets of different shapes and sizes, all
trimmed with big sumptuous bows and sash
es of ribbon OF every conceivable color and
combination of c0lOrs. They are all import
ed and they have been used as models from
which we have sold hundreds of baskets and
the materials to trim them. Now their sea
son is over, they have served their purpose
as samples and we want to sell them quick
The prices they have been marked were
never high,-much less than you would have
to pay in any New York store,-but we want
to sell them all this week to get room for
some other goods that are soon to arrive in
this department, so the prices haze been cut
in too. That is to say you can buy the
eight dollar three legged work basket with
the gilded top, for four dollars, bow and all.
This isn't much more than the cost of the
ribbon alone. The birchbark umbrella
basket at five fifty, the gilded bamboo scrap
basket at five dollars, the white enamel and
gilt newspaper basket at six dollars, and the
high stand splint music basket at eight dol
lars can be bought to-day for half these
prices and all the others the same way.
In the lot are work baskets, scrap baskets,
glove baskets, photograph baskets, handker-
chief baskets, bon-b0n baskets and chamois
lined silver baskets. Every one is tied with
big bow of ribbon, and some are lined with
plush or silk. There are no two alike and
the number isn't large. If you have any use
for a basket of any kind in your house come
and see these.

SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used when
children are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the little
sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep
by relieving the child from pain, and the little
cherub, awakes as "bright as a button" 1t is
very pleasant TO taste. 1t soothes the child, soft
ems the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu-
lates the bowels, and is the best known remedy
for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or
other causes twenty-five cents bottle.
