Mr.. Alvah NJ. Dam, of Massachusetts,,
has brought suit for $4,000 against the
Philadelphia Press, for charging him with
''defrauding the mails by sending his clrcu-
lars all over the country under the frank
of Congressman Allen" 1t will be re-
membered that short while ago the Fress
attempted TO make sensation out of tho
fact that Philadelphia gentleman had re-
ceivel one of DAMS patent medicine circu-
lars, inclosed in an envelope which bore the
words, Public document, free" followed
by Congressman Aliens signature. The
"sensaton" flzzled outfit was one of those
things which will happen occasionally and
now the Press has lawsuit on its hand,
for It's smartnesa.

many old-time public men, ard in conse.

Trusts? Trusts What are they anyhow?
Well, trust is a monopoly established for the
purpose of making larger profitS, and this is nc
complshed by decreasing the cost OF production
ana increasing the price TO the consumer. Ihe
sugar trust is an example IL has le6sened for
the trust the cost of manufactured sugar half
cent per pound and has increased the price to
the publ another half cent per pound. See

1t does so by requiring the workingmen to

Mr.. Blaine Is on the defensive. He is de-
Tending his miscellaneous, and he is defend
ing the partisan republican senate for its
action with regard to the fisheries treaty.
When a man puts himself in that position,
he is at disadvantage. 1t will be observed
that Mr. Cleveland's message is aggressive.

The sentiment of the people with regard
to tho Presidents fisheries message may be
summed up as follows: The message is
liked and approved by the men VINO fish, by
nearly all Irishmen in the country, and by
fair minded people generally. 1t is dis
liked and disapproved by the partisans in
the republican party.

Mr.. Blaine evidently mistrusts himself.
In his Bangor speech he confined himself
strictly to manuscript. This is strange
thing for magnetic orator" like Mr..
Blaine to do. He has made so many slips
since he returned from Europe, however,
that probably he begins to appreciate the
necessity for exercising caro-.

1t is quite common thing to see in tho
republican newspapers the statements, at
tributed to Mr.. Mills, that 1.-THE democratic
party is free trade party, or it is nothing"
ard that "the democrat who is not free
trader should join the republicans" A
lawyer in New York, Mr.. j. Hervey Cook,
has just received letter from Mr. Mills,
saying that he has never made such state
ments, and that the party which originated
the falsehoods is in very desperate straits
Mr. Mills hits the nail on the head The
republican party is in very desperate straits
Reports from Congressman Tom Reeds
district in Maine, according to the republi-
can organs, show that Reed will be re-
elected. Probably he will. He is not very
popular with his party, rather repslling
than attracting men, but he has sharp
tongue and a vigorous brain, and his
political associates like to hear him speak,
or to read his speeches. 1t is said that
Senators Hale and Frye, of Maine, have
delivered campaign speeches for Reed very
frequently, and will probably do so this
year, and yet Reed does not speak to Frye,
and makes no attempt to conceal his con.
tempt for Hale This is a curious state of
affairs.

TIE price OF kisses appears to be on the
decline, though the kisses themselves are
not. Formerly it was not a very uncom-
mon thing to hear of a young lady suing a
young man for 81 900, or even $4,000, for
kissing her against her will. The other day,
in New Jersey, II man was fined only 81 for
kissing a pretty girl, and s3 of tho amount
was for his "temerity" in doing so. He
therefore paid 81 for the kiss. Osculatory
exercise will be a luxury to be INDUCED in
by the poor as well as the rich after while.
Charles Taylor, Of New Jersey, found an
GAL; chest filed with valuable china set,
deliberately painted, while digging on his
farm the other day. OF course he has gone
and hired several men to do some moie
digging, in the hope of finding something
else. 1t is wonderful how energetic man
becomes when he digs up strange coin or
two, or piece Of crockery, on his land
He will work hard enough, and spend
enough money, to have kept his family well

RUNAWAY,

pair of Clark g. Champlin's horses ran
away on Middle street yesterday At the
time when they started, at the corner of
Middle and Exchange streets, near the First
National Bank building were two carriages.
One was driven by Mr.. Frank Scammon, of
Cape Elizabeth, and the other, owned by
Daniel Larrabee, was standing by the curb
stone, loaded with milk cans. One of the
big wheels of the wagon struck Scammon's
carriage and nearly demolished It. The
shafts were broken and the wheels
wrenched nearly off.
Mr.. Scammon was hurled from his seat to
the ground short distance away and con-
siderably bruised. The wagon collided with
Mr.. Larrabee's carriage, slightly injuring it,
Mr.. Larrabee's hands were slightly cut. The
frightened animals turned the corner, where
large number of people were crossing. At
this point Mr.. Charles Owen, the painter,
jumped for the horses heads and succeeded
in getting hold on the bride. This divert
their course somewhat and saved several
people from being knocked down. Owen
pluckily maintained his grip on the bride
and was dragged down Exchange street to
Johnson's eating house, where he stopped
them just as they started to run on the side
walk. Owens clothing was torn and he
sustained several bruises

The Special Yacht Club Regatta.

To the>Editor Of the Press:
Will YOU kindly allow us the privilege of a
statement relative to the open regatta lately
contemplated by the Portland Yacht Club.
EARLY in the spring a committee was aD-
pointed with fall power, and in accordance
with the instructions of the club has labored
to bring about the desired result. More
than enough money to meet necessary ex-
penses has been quickly and generously sub
scribed by citizens of Portland and vicinity.
From an extensive correspondence carried
on with prominent yachtsmen and clubs
throughout the country, the committee has
been forced to the conclusion that for this
year. at least, the plan is not feasible. 1t
has been apparent that, lacking the stimulus
of an international cup race, interest in
yacht racing this year is not active. Indeed,
it is within the knowledge of the committee
that in the annual regattas of some of our
larger clubs it has been difficult to induce
members to compete.
For us the greatest obstacle has been the
impossibility of securing such dates as
would not interfere either with regattas or
cruises of the larger clubs, whose assistance
and cooperation were deemed necessary for
successful series of races. The committee
was unwilling to offer 70 the public and those
whose financial support has been so freely
given, regatta that should fall short of the
best character, and having failed to receive
sufficient encouragement from those who
must enter their yachts to make any regatta
possible, has thought best to await more
favorable season, and win so report to the
club.
To those whose assistance, both in the
way of service and subscriptions the COM
mittee on behalf of the club desires to
return its thanks, and to avail itself of this
privilege to acknowledge the clubs indebt-
edness to subscribers and others for their
expressed interest in its welfare and their
encouragement of its efforts to promote
popular and reputable sport.
Very respectfully,
SPECIAL REGATTA COMMITTEE,
Portland Yacht Club.

A Delightful Excursion.

The employees at Zenas Thompson's car
riage factory held their fourth annual picnic
last Saturday at Long Island. On their way
down they stopped at Little Diamond Island
and paid a visit to their employer, Mr..
Thompson, who is spending the summer
the hoping to regain his health from the Sc
we're injuries received last January in the
great railroad accident at Haverhill. After
an exchange of greetings, a beautiful boquet
was presented to Mr.. Thompson on behalf of
the employees as token of their friendship
and esteem, to which Mr.. Thompson very
feelingly responded, expressing the hope
that next year he would be able to be with
them and wishing them happy day. A
very fine collation. was then served by Mrs.
Thompson and daughters which ali very
much enjoyed. After thanking Mr.and Mrs.
Thompson for their kind reception, the boat
was taken for Long Island where the day
was spent in base ball, target shooting, foot
ball and other games. AT 1.30 a delicious
shore dinner was served by Messrs. Ponce
and Littlefeld, and at $50 the boat was TAX
en- for home, all agreeing that the day had
been pleasantly spent.
The employees desire to express their
thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and fam
lily, also to Mr.. Fred Thompson, for their
kind reception and efforts in their behalf to
make the occasion pleasant one to all.

A WARNING.

The modes OF deaths approach are various, and
statistics show conclusyely that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any
other. 1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ceptlon, receives vast numbers Of Tuberele 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 ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and If allowed to pro-
coed will, in time, cause death. At the onset Won
must act with promptness; allowing cold to 90
without attention is dangerous, and may lose you
your life. As soon as you feel that something's
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils. OBJ

Another TopobIobampo Scheme.

E. S. Babcock, Jr., who is director of
the California Southern Railroad, is report
ed as having given circulation to railroad
scheme which, if materialized, will work
wonderful things for San Diego. He says
that syndicate is being formed to build a
road from Topolobampo, town about 80
miles below Guaymas, Mexico, to San Diego.
The country around Topolobampo abounds
in great deposits of pure anthracite coal.
These coal fields have been known to exist
for several years, but have never been ex-
tensively worked by the Mexicans. The
principal object of the road will be to haul
the coal to San Diego, where it will be used
to develop the large manufacturing indus
tiles which will spring up when coal and
iron are brought together
