The Man With a Suspicion

New York Sun.
1t was a general Southern store, run
by white man, but very mean, small
store and stock, and the owner was an
Onery-loOking specimen of humanity. L
had gone in to get out of the rain, and
found him all alone. After some con-
versation he turned to me with:
stranger, do you drink whisky?"
mo, sir"
Thought you didn't. Do you know
whisky when you see it?"
Yes"
"Reckoned so. Can you tell a good
article from bad one?"
Il think So"
could you tell common good stuff
from pizen"
81 believe could"
swell, now. | want you to do me
turn. | bought barrel of old Ken
lucky last fall. Purity fair demand fur
whisky among the nigg ars araun' yer,
and, of co'se, watered it-made about
fo' barrels out of one"
"That's regular in this country"
"Of co'se it is, but the whisky got low,
the roads was bad, and | filled up the
bar'l, dropped in some acid and other
stuff, and kept on selling; got some left
yet. NiggerS kind o. hemmed and
hawed and gulped over it, and the de-
mand kind o. fell off little, but there
is little sunthin' doin' all the time"
"Well?"
"Well. there's bin heap O. sickness
among the niggers since begun to put
out that whisky, and six or seven have
turned up their toes fur good. Pye
been sort O. wonderin' whether it was
the whisky or this climate, and l wish
you'd take nip and give me your
opinion"
He brought some in a mug. Is didn't
look or smell like whisky, and the sip
took burned my mouth like boiling
water. 1t was stuff which might be
warranted to kill a lifelong tramp at
sixty yards through big hill.
81 think it's the whisky. as you call
it, | said as soon as l could speak.
For suah?''
Eyes"
"Well, as l said, Pve had suspicion
that way fur two or three months, but
wanted to be suah. Lreckon you are
right, and after this won't sell to a
sickly or weakly Niger at all, and
charge the others double price to dis
courage 'en. Good, far profit on whiS-
ky. but | shan't do any trade if these
nlggers keep turnln' out to two funerals

FREE TREATMENT OF THE SICK
All who book their names this
month are treated free
until cured.

On the first day of this month Drs. Brown and
Hall, of the New York and Boston Medical Insti-
tutes, announced to the citizens Of Portland that
they had acceded to the very urgent request OF
those under their treatment residing In this city
and opened branch office at BAL Congress
street, Portland. In order to more quickly intro
duce their SYSTEM they made the unprecedented
offer that all those suffering from any chronic dis
ease which had bafied the skill and experience
of their family physician, they would examine,
and If durable treat free until cured. This prop
osition, coming from an institution whose stand
ing in Boston and New York Is unquestlo ned,
very naturally met with quick response from a
ong suffering public, and during the past three
weeks from morning until night and sometimes
far into the night there has been constant in
coming and outgoing of those seeking relief OF
their many ills. The acceptance OF their very
generous offer has not been confined to the poor
alone but all classes are seeming anxious to test
the system, which, from the Boston press, has
seemed to make SO many wonderful cures in Bos-
ton and vicinity. Another matter that should not
be lost sight Of and that is the power these gen.
tlemen have in locating disease-not question
Is asked, but quickly and unerringly they locate
and explain every ache and pain without a ques
ton from the patient. This would seem evidence
strong enough to convince any one that they at
least understand your ailment. During the three
weeks just passed they have consulted with 917
patients, out of this number 342 have been pro-
nounced ncurable and their cases not treated.
All should remember that there are but eight
days more In which they can book their names.
Their office is BAL Congress street, two doors be-
lew Wilmo street. apzSnrmdu

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS s. Libby VS.. Maine Gen.
trail Railroad.
The plaintiff was mail agent on the train that
met with the accident at Cr0well's brook in Oak
land, June 10, 1889, when after storm the train
went into a washout. The plaintiff had five RIBS
broken, his nose broken, one lunglpunctured by
broken rib and his spine injured, from the results
OF which he still claims TO be suffering. He claims
damages to the amount of $40, 900.
The accident was occasioned by washout at
a culvert The plaintiffs counsel, Mr.. Brown, in
his opening, claimed that the culvert was defec-
tive in its construction in that it was built of
wedge-shaped rocks instead of rectangulae ones I;
that the aperture which was only two feet by
three was not sufficient as is evidenced by the
fact that the one which replaces it was built with
an aperture four by five feet.
After the accident it is claimed that one of the
rocks composing the culvert was found washed
into the aperture, half filling it up The plaintiff
claims that 1t it was the duty Of the defendant cor
poration TO exercise the highest care that was
possible in constructing and maintaining the Gull
vert; that they should have seen to 1t that 1t was
large enough to carry off the drainage in any
storm without obstruction.
The PLAINTIFFS testimony. is now in progress.

stances of the accident as he was insensible for
long time. The case viii occupy several days.
