A Lady of South Portland Cured by
prs. Smith and McMulIen.

Mrs. L., VINO resides In South Portland, has
been great sufferer for the past eleven years
from piles and for the past ten months has been
constant sufferer. Eleven years ago pile tumors
made their appearance. These tumors at first
were about as.large as an ordinary grape, and at
times would come down, especially when the
bowels were evacuated She became very much
constipated and as the years went by the pile
tumors gradually increased in size until they be-
came as large as small coffee cup. At each
movement Of the bowels and when she was on
her feet any length of time they would come
down and 1t was with much difficulty that they
could be replaced. Whenever they came down
they would bleed so profusely and the pain was
so severe that she often experienced great faint
ness which was followed by extreme prostration !,
Her face was pale and sallow in consequence of
so much loss of blood. She complained of a main
in the small of her back and an all gone feeling
In her stomach and bowels. 1t is very difficult
for any one to describe the sufferings caused NV
this wretched complaint. The strongest man.
when attacked by piles, will in time become a con-
firmed invalid. 1t is one of those complaints
that gradually undermine the strongest constitu-
tions and thousands of men and women are diving
by inches FRONT it.

He Writes to Whitelaay Reid Reiterating
His Florence Nantes to,
The New York Tribune of the 30th
publishes the following letter from Mr..
Blaine:
'PARIs, May II, IS Whuelaac Reid.
Esq, Editor ". Y. Tri6uaae-MY DEAR
SIR: "iSince my return to Paris from
Southern Italy on the Sth inst, have
learned, what [ did not before believe,
that my name may yet be presented to
the National convention as a candidate
for the presidential nomination of the
Republican party. A single phrase
of my letter of January % from Florence
which was decisive of everything [
had the personal power to decide-has
been treated by many of my most valued
friends as not absolutely conclusive in
ultimate and possible contingencies.
On the other hand friends equally de-
voted and disinterested have construed
my letter, as it should be construed, to
be an unconditional withholding of my
name from the national convention.
"They have in consequence given their
support to eminent gentlemen who are
candidates for the Chicago nomination
some of whom would not, [ am sure,
have consented to assume that position,
if had desired to represent the party
in the presidential contest of 1888. If /
should now, by speech or by silence, by
commission or omission, permit my
name, in any event, to come before the
convention I should incur the reproach
Of being uncandid with those who have
always been candid with me. | speak,
therefore. because [ am not willing
to remain in doubtful attitude.
[ am not willing to be the cause of
misleading a single man among the mill
ions who have given me their suffrages
and their confidence. [ am not willing
that even one of ny faithful support
ers in the past should think me capable
of paltering in double sense with my
words. Assuming that the presidential
nomination could by any possible chance
be offered to me, could not accept it
without leaving in the minds of thous-
ands of these men the impression that
/ had not been free from indirection,
and therefore [ could not accept it at
all. The misrepresentation of malice
have no weight, but the just displeas-
ure of friends | could not patiently en-
dure.
Republican victory, the prospects of
which grow brighter every day, can be
imperiled only by lack of unity in coun-
Gil or by acrimonious contest over men.
The issue of protection is intellectually
stronger and greater than any man, for
it concerns the prosperity of the present
and of generations yet to come. We're
it possible for every voter of the
republic to see for himself the
condition and recompense Of labor
in Europe, the party of free trade in
the United States would not receive the
support of one wageworker between
the two oceans. It may not be directly
in our power as philanthropists to ele-
vate the European laborer, but it will
be lasting stigma upon our statesman
ship if we permit the American laborer
to be forced down to the European
level. And in the end the rewards of
labor everywhere will be advanced if
we steadily refuse to lower the
standard at home. Yours very sincere

She had left two notes, one addressed
to her father and the other to her lover.
In the note to Mr.. Menard she said
that She intended to commit suicide
by drowning, and that she had
been driven to the desperate deed
by her fathers cruelty, and re-
ferred especially to the whipping she re-
ceived. The note addressed to her lover
announced the same determination, and
concluded by bidding the young man
an affectionate good-by. The police
were informed of the affair. and this
afternoon found the body floating in
the river at the foot of Lake Street.
Miss Menard's lover has not been seen
since her note was delivered to him,
and it is believed he has also killed
himself

seventy-one starters were handicapped
according to their records. When the

of the wheelsmen were there before
them. Fortunately several well known
bicyclists had gone down on an earlier
train and timed the arrivals. Arthur
Lumsden, who rode light 5l-inch wheel,

A TRAGEDY IN COURT.
Sanguinary Outcome of n Sensational Di-
vorce Suit.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June IA tremendous
sensation occurred in Judge Jamieson's
court shortly after 10 o'clock this morn
ing. While the docket was being called,
Mrs. Meckie L. Rawson was impatiently
waiting for the divorce case of her hus-
band, Banker Rawson, to be called.
Col. H. z. Whitney, her hus-
bands attorney, was sitting at
side table writing, when the court was
suddenly startled to hear a pistol and
Col. Whitney at once disappeared I'M
der the table. The shot was followed
by four more in rapid succession and
Mrs. RawSon was seen puT-
suing Whitney with Smith &
Wesson 3S-calibre revolver. Mrs. Raw
son succeeded in emptying her revolver
at Whitney before she could be cap
tured. Two of the balls hit the lawyer.
one taking effect below the groin, and
the other in the left leg. The wound
near the right groin will probably be
fatal. Judge Jameson at once ordered
Mrs Rawson's arrest and she was i'm
mediately taken to Jail.
When the officers arrived at the jail
with their prisoner, Mrs. Rawson had
every appearance of being an insane
woman; her eyes were red and blood
shot and she complained of being cold
and faint. AS soon as the search had
been completed, she became more
composed. The jail officers refused to
allow the reporters to see her.
1t is understood that Mrs. Rawson has
been in desperate state of mind since
the appellate court yesterday re-
fused to grant her solicitors fees
and said, In passing upon the
merits of her pending divorce suit
that the testimony was overwhelmingly
against her. 1t is also understood that
Mrs. Rawson claims that Lawyer Whit
ney trumped up all the testimony which
went to show that she had been guilty
of infidelitv to her husband.

this railway as a means for the con-

with great advantages to Russian trade.

witness the opening of the RAILWAY and

ginning of a new era of peace promising
