or Waiting and Longing, Mrs. New
land, of Bath, Maine, In a Very
Mysterious Manner Loses an Old
Stand Bv.

There are many ways Of suffering in this world
as well as causes for it: and this proves true in
the most remarkable case of Mrs. Newland of
Bath, Me. few years ago she suddenly lost
both father and mother from an acute form of i'll
ness; then an only brother passed away; leaving
her quite alone in the world. Naturally enough
these great troubles weighed heavily upon her
mind. She soon lost all appetite, ana her strength
failed her. She was fearfully nervous; the least
jar or sudden shutting of door would so startle
her that it would take an hour or more for her to
get over the effect. Her stomach failed to digest
the food taken into it. and in that respect she suf
fered hard neuralgia pains; also from the great
amount of gas formed, and could not be expelled !;
and then she could sleep but for few minutes at
time. After q time, Mrs. Newland commenced
to imagine things. Her friends she was stopping
with thought for sure she had lost her mind. and
that she would become hopelessly insane. She
insisted that there was a nan standing by her
right side, and he would not leave there. She
begged her friends to drive him away. and at
times she would be almost wild with nervous ter
ror. Her friends, in this dilemma, did not know
what TO do with her. All of the physicians called
shook their heads and went away A friend had
been reading of some of the wonderful cures be-
ing performed by Drs. Smith and McMullen, the
magnetic physicians, at the United States Hotel,
Portland, aud strongly urged them as last resort
TO try them. They took Mrs. Newland to Drs.
Smith and McMullen three weeks ago. They pro-
nounced her case one of complete nervous pros
tration, and treated her accordingly. 1t did not
AXE long. under the strong magnetic touch of
those gifted physicians, to make Mrs. Newlanl
ose her old stand by, the man at her right side
Her appetite soon came back. All distress of the
stomach went as If by magic, and she is today
well woman, and goes for an extended visit to rel
atives by advice of her physicians This is only
one among the many remarkable cures being con-
stantly made by these truly celebrated physicians.
They treat successfully all forms OF chronic dis
eases, and none suffering should fail to call on
them.
Drs. Smith and McMullen are permanently
ocated at the United States Hotel, and can be
consulted free from a. m. to p. m.

WHEN you see man wearing a twenty
five dollar Macintosh on a rainy day, it is
pretty safe to assume that prosperity is at
high tide with him. 1t is also a reasonable
surmlse that he has arrived at the conclusion
that the matter of Rubber Coats the best Is
backing his own tips" 1t does not follow
however, that he who does not sport
Macintosh is hard up or that he isn't
careful thinker, because 1t is not so very long
that we got the agency forPortland for these
In comparable garments ana it may he hasn't
heard of it yet.
1t rains in Portland almost as often as in
London; Macintoshes are the antidote there,
why shouldn't they be here? We prophesy
that the man who hasn't one will be the ex-
ceptlon instead Of the rule, before very long,
and the way these coats have been received
In the short time We have handled them
bears us out in the guess.
Besides the line of sample coats which you
can look at and try on, we have hundreds OF
different patterns of the rubber-coated cloth
to select from. We take your order, send it
10 England, and the coat comes back by the
next steamer Twenty-Five dollars is the
highest. They range from that price down,
The brown Underwear in the window this

been offered this season.
If you had seen the letters and kilograms
which have gone from our Office to the
manufacturers in New York to hurry them
on the Neckwear that was bought six weeks
ago, you'd have agreed that we had made
every effort to get the goods here sooner
The impossible couldn't be overcome, so we

On the Centennial Fourth of July
the people of Kansas town had ar
ranged for big celebration of the day.
Among other features of the program
was to be a speech from very eloquent
but retiring gentleman, who spoke so
infrequently in public that to hear him
was great treat. This gentleman was
a model of propriety, dignifed and
modest, and when the day came, ana
the hour for his address, he approached
the speakers stand, and it was observed
by only avery few that he acted very
strangely. He had never been known
to be intoxicated in his life, but in this
instance, Of all occasions when he
should have remained particularly So

ELECTRIC SUNsTROKE.

It has been recently stated in a paper

Ordinary electric lights are incapable Of

minutes after ceasing work and begin
