Another Case.

AUGUSTA, Oct. 19.-Another case Of diph-
iberia made its appearance among the male
patients on Tuesday. The last case is very
mild one, however, as all recent cases have
been, the disease apparently having spent its
force and seemingly to have lost its virul-
ency. 1t has been nearly month since the
last case appeared in the female wards, and
DIR. Sanborn is sanguine that the disease has
been thoroughly stamped out in that part of
the institution.

Goes to the Fires.
Lewiston Gazette.l

Rags, the intelligent dog at the Dewitt, al
ways attends the fires in the city. He recog-
nizes the first stroke of the tire-alarm bell,
and at once goes to the scene of the fire. He
pays no attention to the customary ringing
of the city bells, and how he has come to
recognize the fire alarm is mystery, but 1t
is fact that he does. Is not this another
proof of the theory that dogs reason?

been frightened away by policeman.

About half-past two this morning, Policeman

sounds issuing from Ditman's store, and peer

to see three men moving about inside by the dim
light of a shaded candle, Their being two doors,
and fearing that he could not overpower all
three men, he fastened Off to summon aid, and
soon returned with Policemen Smith and Nc

has this equality of the law been @D-
stantly illustrated.
How has it been with the Republic
ans? Not blackman holds an ONCE
of honor or profit in this State by the
favor of the Republican party. The
black man has been a faithful Republic
an and an Intelligent and capable citi-
zen, and the only reason he has not re-
ceived political recognition is the color
of his skin. There can be no good rea~
son for the fact, and yet the fact re-
mains that though the Republicans are
continually declaring their love for the
black man, yet they have not proven it
by facts.
A Democratic Governor in Massa-
chusetts appointed a black man as
Judge. and when his place was vacated
by death the Republicans refused to sp-
point u competent black man TO I'LL his
place. This fact stands beyond dis
pute, and is typical of the Republican
party's treatment of the black citizen
all along the line. The Democratic
mayor of Boston has just nominated for
the vacancy on the Board of Assessors,
place of honor and profit, an intelli-
gent and competent black man. In doing
this the mayor can not be charged with
paying the price for political services
rendered. 1t is simply just, nom
partisan and truly Democratic nomi-
nation, in keeping. as the record
shows. with all the nominations of
Mayor O'Brien, though about election
time the Republicans falsely deny the
record.
In is well for all honest citizens. and
especially for our black citizen, to re-
member these facts, and when election
time comes around let truth and justice
govern their actions at the polls, and
let them refuse to be driven or led like.

mans trousers In less than a month
after they are made become "baggy".
This necessitates any amount of run
ming to the tailor's and having the gar
ment pressed, if the wearer desires to
be well dressed. Although constant
bending of the knee is in part the
cause OF this eye-sore to men, the
constructive of the member is the
principal reason of such a state of
things. Now, look here" and the lit
tie man stretched one of his fat legs
straight out before him Feel my
knee: you see the knee-cap sits like a
hillock over the points. Below it the
limb swerves in. Now, how are you
smoothly here without catching?
Can't say? Then I'll tell you; use
forms below and above the cap, and
the trousers will fit like a glove and
won't bag.
''You see the form being stitched to
the lining of the garment makes it stiff
and prevents the cloth Straining.s You
may have noticed that the cloth never
stretches at the knee cap, but above
and below it. A little dressing about
the too large calf and a little DOCTOR
ing at this member itself is a valuable
aid to the fit of the leg easement.
Fats are made of a variety of
materials and worn in variety OF
ways. Chest and spinal articles are
made like a sleeveless jacket of one
continuous piece of material. There
is a hole for the head and the garment
is slipped on by extending the arms
upwards and perpendicularly and let
ting the article fall over. Over the
muscles of the chest the garment is
padded to any extent. desired. The
small of the back is also touched up as
necessity dictates. The body of the
article is of silk or chamois. The chest
pads in cold weather are always worn
next to the skin. By this arrangement
the effect is natural and consistent, and
it is almost impossible, even by feel
ing, to discover the artifciality of the
padder's figure. Why, there is no
limit to our possibilities. A good
