drinks for any persons, whether in health
or not. 1t Is suitable for all stomach

jaundice, gravel, liver complaint, intlam-
nation of the bowels, and fevers. 1t is a
specific against worms and skin com
plants, The pippn crushed may be used
with sugar and water aud taken as a
drink. Lemon juice is the best antiscor-
butte remedy known. IL not only cures
the disease but prevents it Sailors make
daily use of it for this purpose. We adj
wise every one to rub their gums with
lemon juice to keep them in a healthy
condition. The hand and nails are also
kept clean, white, soft and supple by tie

Tragedy at RockIand.

A horrible tragedy occurred at Rock
land the evening November 26th George
S Clough about % years old shot Miss
Ludwig and her niece Miss Eva Wooster.
Mrs. Ludwig and Miss Wooster had
passed along the sidewalk in trout of
Mr.. Adams store, when young Clough
stepped up with five shot calbre reyol-
yer and fired one shot which took effect
just over Miss Eva'S right temple, and a
second which entered Mrs. Ludwig's neck
and coming out of her mouth, after which
he disappeared. Search was made every
where for him but no clue to his where
abouts could be found
Early the next morning he was found
desd on The PREMISES OF Mr.. VIM. II.
Smith on Trinity street, and almost
within reach of his fathers home. He
was lying on his left side, with bullet
hole ia his right temple, and the revolver
about two feet from his side with two
chambers empty.
1t would seem that for long time he
had had strange infaiuation for the
elder of the two victims, and notwith-
Standing her marriage relations has per
sj-tcntly pursued her with personal at

been exceedingly annoying to her and

Both Shot in the Air.
New York independent

F.tz Greene Washington a great great
grand nephew OF George Washington,
has recently described the Hamilton
Barr duel az it was seen by his grand
father, Capt. Fitz Hughes, in the follow
ing words:
When Captain Hughes discovered that
his friends had gone to fight he took q
bost apd couple of slaves-both of
them good oarsmen-and rowed as fast
as possible to the battle ground. He got
there in time to see the fight occur as
follows, but not stop it, as was his hope
Hamilton and Burr were each to fire
twice or thrice at one another. At the
word of command for the first fire Ham
ilton fired at Burr and Burr fired in the
air-Hamilton, of course, missing Burr
hut at the second firing Hamilton shot In
the air and Burr shot Hamilton. Hamil-
ton thought Burr mean to kill him as he
meant to kill Burr; therefore. Hamilton
at the first firing aimed to shoot Burr
Burr deeming that Hamilton would of
course, at the next shot endeavor again
to shoot him, of course changed bis
tactics and shot Hamilton. Hamilton
wishing not to be outdone by Burr, and
presuming that Burr would again make
no effort to shoot him, fred his pistol of
in the air. This is the true history OF
the duel fought by these two great men.

THE NATION sHAMED.

Consul-Generai Sewall, of the Samoan
Islands, has for two days past been before
the United States Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations explaining the Samoan
ENHANCEMENT. According to this bright
and patriotic young Maine lawyer, whom
Mr.. Bayard sent out to displace Consul
Greenebaum for raising the American flag
in temporary protection over the Samoan
G 9vernment from German assault, Mr.
Greenebaum did precisely the right thing,
and ne, General Sewall, would have done
the same. The dispatches, meager as they
are, make il perfectly clear that while
General Sewall is an appointee of the
Administration he is too patriotic man
and true American to make any excuse for
the shameful red-tape bungling of the
State Department. He testified, say the
adyices yesterday, that while the German
Government was negotiating with the
United States and the British Government
through an accredited commission, in Wash
ington, on the plea of wishing to reach a
harmonious agreement on the islands, the
German feet was then actually en- route
to Samoa to depose the King and take
possession of the country, all which was
done, practically. The State Department
was aware Of this outrageous breach of in
ternational courtesy, but declined to inter
fere or take steps to resent the affront put
upon the United States, says Mr.. Sewall
He also testified to repeated acts of aggres
sion and outrage committed by Germans
upon American citizens on the islands, aud
said that notwithstanding the attention OF
the State Department had been repeatedly
called to these matters, no active steps TO
obtain relief had been taken. In the face
OF such testimony what American is there
who loves his country, whose cheeks do
mot Jingle with the blush of shame, aua
who does not hunger for the hour when

wishes to give warning through the col.

hidden to hunt or otherwise trespass on

digestion and dyspepsia. Struck with the
testimonials ptaising joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla, she sent for a bottle. The druggist,
not having 1t, talked them into taking another
sarsaparilla. As the leading sarsaparillas use
mineral blood purifiers, the effect of the
emptying of iodide OF potash into stomach
already distressingiy delicate was disastrous,
almost prostrating her before the mistake was
rectified. She then called upon Mrs. Fowler,
of s27 Ellis street, whose name was among
those cured by joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
Mrs. Fowler said it was true that it had cured
her. Again treasured, the vegetable COM
pound was sent for and gotten. The gentle
action of its vegetable stimulants upon the
liver, kidneys and digestive organs, and its
warm stomach tonics, were the very things
needed, and she began improving and was
