LongfeIIow Statue Association.

Much interest is already manifested in the
concert which the Bowdoin Glee Club is to
give in City Hall, Portland, on Thursday
evening, Feb. 2S. The concert is for the ben
fit of the Longfellow Statue Association,
which still needs about $500 to complete the
payment of the statue of Longfellow in
Longfellow Square. 1t is very fitting that
Bowdoin should have part in this beauti-
full memorial Longfellow was not only a
son of Bowdoin, but he entered upon his
public life as a professor of the college; and
back to its familiar scenes he came on the
fftieth anniversary of his graduation to
bring his tribute of affection and honor in
recognition of what the college had done for
him. The concert of the Bowdoin Glee
Club is evidence of Bowdoin's lingering af.
lection for Longfellow, and it shonld have,
with the support of allsour citizens, the en-
thusiastic support of the Portland graduates
and friends of the college. Give the boys a
good house. We are confident that the con-
cert will be in every way delightful one.
Tickets can be obtained at Stockbridge's
and at Loring, Short & Harmon's. BY per
mission of the School Committee tickets will
also be sold by children of the public schools.
Give them hearty welcome and liberal pat
ronage.

The U. S. Marine Hospital.

During the past year many improvements
have been made at this hospital since the
present surgeon-in-chsrge assumed control
OF the station. The entire sanitary system
has been replaced by modern plumbing con-
structed upon the most advanced hygienic
principles. The bath rooms are fitted and
wainscoated in hard wood, and all the fix
lures set open SO that perfect cleanliness can
be secured, as every portion of the floor
space is open to inspection at glance. All
the rooms on the entrance floor and several
on the second floor have been painted and
decorated In two colors, adding greatly to
the artistic effect of the interior. An cleo
trio return call bell system has been set up
connecting the executive offices with the sew
eral departments, including the stable and
lazaretto, an Improvement long needed for
securing efficient service. Furniture and fix
lures for the several departments have been
added In large. but necessary quantities to
bring the post up to proper equipment until
it is believed that in all the essentials of a
modern hospital it will rank with the BEST

We learn that it is contemplated rebuild
ing the driveway through the grounds and
improving the approaches in front and rear
so that continuous drive through the reser-
walton may be enjoyed by the public in sum-
mer, at designated times. The view from
the summit of the grounds on which the
hospital stands is unrivalled, commanding in
its sweep the city, islands, ocean, mountain,
river and country. and it is often visited and
enjoyed by those who are familiar with the
beautiful lookout. Congress has been asked
to furnish funds for this purpose and the
subject is awaiting action at their hands.
Persons having surplus reading matter
may be assured that donations of books and
periodicals will find a welcome at the hands
of the crippled and invalid sailors, whom

A TIMELY TOPIC.
a Hint to Those who Need Medical
Advice.

We believe that 1t is as appropriate to speak of
the ability and success of persons engaged in the
practice of medicine and surgery as of like attri-
butes I'm reference to those engaged in other pro-
fessions or business; and in contemplation of the
vast number of suffering humanity, it not only
seems appropriate, but it is otherwise a duty and
pleasure to point the victims of disease to those
from whom they can be sure of honest treatments
and whose success is attested by hundreds of re.
liable people in our own midst.
To the afflicted who desire the professional SER
vices of a reliable physician whose ability is be-
You'd question, we can recommend without hesita-
ton DR., Nichols, the eminent specialist in chron-
ic diseases, 537 Congress street. where he is
permanently located. His great skill in treating
complicated cases is well known to a large num-
