A Portland Lady's Book.

The Congregational Sunday School and
Publishing Society have recently published
a little book entitled "Adelaha, the Story of
a Woman's Life and Work." by Mrs. Eliza
beth M. Rowland, who as Mies Elizabeth
Gould, was well known in 7 tland 1t is
the history of short life through which was
revealed singularly bright and beautifu
Christian character. The story is true
story of Maine woman, and includes brief
records Of experiences in mission work
among the negroes in the South during the
last year or two Of the war, and of unusual
phases of life and Christian work in manu.
featuring town in Pennsylvania after the
war. The sketch was written, however,
with religious purpose. Its object is to
preserve the memory and extend the influ-
ence Of strong and winning character, the
whole impulse and inspiration of which
came through faith in Christ. The author
has told the story in charming way, with
great vivacity of style and evident sympathy
with the character she is depicting. For

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 sem
sation in the throat, and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs, producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrb.
Now all this is dangerous, and if allowed to pro-
coed will, in time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness allowing a cold to 60
without attention is dangerous and may lose you
your life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain bottle Of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief. nov8-dly-cT

NEW ENGLAND DELEGATES.
What Was Done at the Meeting on
Monday Night.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 19.-Among those who
visited the Maine headquarters this forenoon
were Mayor Little of Lewiston, Gov. Marble
John F. Cook, formerly of Lewiston, Josiah
and f. b. Little, Col. 2. A. Smith of Leaven-
worth, Kansas, formerly of Maine. Walker
and Emmons Blaine.
The Massachusetts and Maine delegations
are in perfect harmony. The several New
England delegations have been trying to
agree to vote as unit, but have arrived at
no conclusion as yet At the conference
Monday night, Con Sheppard, Col. Allen
and Fred Powers represented Maine. The
meeting organized with Gov. Cheney of New
Hampshire as chairman, and j. III. Gould of
Massachusetts as secretary. The conference
was addressed by various delegates, who all
expressed their sympathy with the object of
the meeting.
The matter of candidates was not discussed
and there was no expression of opinion for
or against any one now in the field, 1t was
developed at the meeting that no concerted
action had been agreed upon by any of the
New England delegations. 1t was generally
thought, however, that delegates from the
various States would be able to agree on q
candidate, and general desire was expressed
to have New England vote as unit in the
convention.
A subcommittee was appointed consisting
of one member from each State for the pur-
pose of formulating some plan of united &C
tion by the New England delegation. This
subcommittee organized with Major j. II.
Could of Massachusetts, chairman, and r.
B. Bosworth. of Rhode Island, secretary.
The subcommittee is made up as follows;
Maine, Gen. r. B. Sheppard: New Hamp-
shire, ex-Gov. p. G. Cheney; Vermont, Gen.
j. G. Mccullough; Massachusetts, Major j.
III. Gould; Rhode Island, II. b. Bosworth..
There is a strong belief that when. the
proper time arrives the New York delega-
ton will break and at least 60 votes will go
to Blaine. One peculiar feature of the
Blaine boom is that there is no money be-
hind it. Not cent is being obtained from
any source except the individual contribu-
tons Of the men who are enthusiastic for the
plumed knight. This has no effect in keep
ing away Blaine shouters, however. They
have swarmed into the city from far and
near for twenty-four hours and been very
lavish in the use Of their money in whooping
it up for the Maine man.

Fraternity Reunion.

Yesterday was delightful day for an ex-
cursion to the islands, and the second annual
reunion Of the Portland Fraternity at Long
Island was blessed with all that makes re-
union success. There was good attend
ance of members, and the day passed in
most pleasant manner. After arriving at
the island, music, dancing, foot ball and
other games were INDUCED in, and at the
proper time delicious shore dinner was
served. The sports of the day were not dis
continued until late hour, when it became
necessary to take the boat for the city. To
the committee that had charge of the re-
union much credit is due for the pleasing
manner in which the exercises of the day
were conducted.

GRESHAM LOSING GROUND.
The Illinois Candidates Uncertain
Hold on the Convention.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 19.-Practical polite
ians are assuming that Judge. Gresham is
defeated before the convention opens. The
indications are that these practical polite
ians are correct in their judgment. The
Gresham movement, although very earnest
ly supported in Illinois and Minnesota, APP
pears to have little strength elsewhere.
Judge Gresham's strength is based to a very
large extent on sentiment. and resembles in
many respects the movement for Bristow in
1876. Judge Gresham was gallant soldier.
a good judge an uneXceptional executive Of
ficer. and is again a good judge, and has
long line of excellent qualities for a candi-
date He has secured very strong local
support in the newspaper press, and has an
enthusiastic following among the people Of
Chicago, besides being the instructed choice
of the delegation from the State of Illinois;
but two things are noticeable in Judge
Gresham's canvass. One is that there are
very few working politicians in his interest,
and that there Is no well organized machine.
The other is that while the delegation
from the State of Illinois is nominally unit
for Gresham, some of the strongest politi-
clans in the State are not favorable to him.
There Is split between the two United
States Senators on this question, Mr.. Far
well is credited with being one of the lead
ing advocates of the nomination of Gresham,
and is on the ground. He has great reputa-
ton as an astute political worker and as one
of the shrewdest men in politics in our
times; but if Mr.. Farwell is in earnest in the
Gresham movement he does not seem to
have manifested his usual shrewdness. at
all events there are no traces in the Gresham
movement of that master hand in politics
which Mr.. Farwell is generally supposed to
possess. On the other hand, Senator Cullom,
convention and openly appearing in inter-
views in the interest of Gresham, is still
very much aggrieyed that his own State and
the newspapers of this great city passed
him over and did not at least do him the
honor of agreeing to give him the compli-
mentary vote of the State.

illness of Col. w. c. Stevens.

Col, w. G. Stevens, editor of the Express,
was taken with serious nausea at the office
yesterday afternoon, and the ambulance was
sent for. Col. Stevens was taken to his
residence at Hotel Fitch. Park street. and
DIR. John Merrill attended him. DR.. Merrill
was not prepared to state last night how
serious Col. Stevens Illness was. It might
be simply severe case of indigestion caused
by walking in hot sun, and then eating a
hearty dinner, followed by another walk in
the sun and work in confined office. There
was apparently some brain disturbance
Capt. Stevens was helpless last night but
perfectly conscious.
