In recent conversation with Mr.. Frost,
that gentleman said, with the convincing
earn estness which characterizesh his remarks
lone of the greatest evils with which the
friends OF temperance have to contend is the
cheap whiskey d ecoctions and miserable rum
mixtures by which the market3is Hooded
under the guise of Bitters,' Sarsaparilas,'
'Gingers,' and other patent medicines. The
enormous consumption of such miserable
stuff does incalculable- injury in many cases
by implanting the taste for liquors here. it
never would exist otherwise This most in.
sidious form of intemperance should be put
down by law. 73sssissits El4ss.s..s L

Frost, THAT all proprietary medicines come

taken occasion also to learn something about
this medicine and its origin, and know that it
is not only an old and tried remedy among
the Indians, but that its Vegetable Purity and
Harmless Curative Effects is still maintained,
and that its manufacture is still carried on by
modern methods exactly in accordance with
the ways of the noble Red Man
Simple Roots, Banks, Leaves and Flowers
from the Forest are all that enter into its
composition, and the Strength which is
gained from its use is not the false strength
of the rum bottle but the Noble Exhilaration
of Bounding Health, and the Purified Blood,
ceansed of its poison, coursing through every
Vein and Artery of the Human System"
This and more did Mr. Frost have to say in
regard to kickapoo Indian Sagwa." Words
fail to convey the earnest force of his re-
marks as expressed TO the writer. Mr.. Frost
still pursues with undated vigor the noble
cause in which he has enlisted, and says that
temperance was never making such vast
headway as it is today.

To the Editor OF the Press:
Inotice that in Biddeford recently a
meeting was held for the purpose of
arousing an interest in the men who be-
ing addicted to drink and wishing to ben
eft by the ''gold cure" are still without
means, and unable to take the treat
ment.
1t is proposed to raise fund for their
benefit and give class who greatly need
assistance, the very aid they ought to
have. The help they must have if they
are to benefit by the latest and best of
he scientific discoveries of the day.
Portland ought not to be behind Bid
deford in this respect, and the plan de-
vised by Rev. S. F. Pearson, for reaching
Just this class, is worthy of general sup
port. Would it not be well for our citi-
zens to follow the example of those of
our sister city of Biddeford, and by hold
ing public meeting to do something to
direct attention to Mr.. Pearson and his
plan? A CITIZEN.

After Sad Experience in This Country
She Returns to Ireland.
Mrs. Catherine Tracey at last arrived at
her sisters home near Milford Station, Ire
land, yesterday. 1t must have been ioy-
ful thanksgiving she offered up, having &C.
complished the desire which has filled her
heart and mind since she has been left
alone in the world. 1t will be remembered
that The DISPATCH some time ago pub
lished exclusively the history of Mrs
Tracey, how she lost each one of her family
of four by their going insane. and was
endeavoring to obtain enough money to
take her across to her sisters in Ireland,
where a home had been offered her to spend
the remainder of her life.
AS a result of the article Mrs C. L.
Magee sent word to Mrs Tucker, the Oak
land manager of the Society for the I'm
provement of the Poor, who has had com-
plete charge Of Mrs. Tracey, nursing her in
her sickness and troubles and providing for
her when she was well, that she would
defray the expenses OF Mrs Tracey across
the water. An order for a ticket for New
York was obtained from the Department of
Public Charities, and Mrs. Magee donated

ticket across the water was purchased tor

on board; S. was given her for incidental
expenses, and $40 was put into draft SUBJ
lect to her order from the other side.
Alter providing her with warm clothes and
provisions, the Society for the Improve
ment of the Poor, sent Mrs. Tracey to New
York last Tuesday week, and she arrived in
her home yesterday.

The Novel Feature Gowns.

Some of the most charming and popular
dresses of the season are what might be fit
tingly called "teature gowns That is.such
as include the most striking and artistic
features of those that are pronounced renais-
sance.
For example, here is gown worn by a
woman of perfect taste recently returned
from Paris. The material is of soft, flexible
cloth in gray warmed by an ecru tint The
sleeves are of the pronounced Empire sort,
close along the lower arm and with full
puffs along the shoulder. At the hand it is
slashed about four inches and faced with
satin. The upper part is turned back from
the arm and the lower part down on to the
hand. About the shoulders is broad,
frill-like cape of satin aud at the waist-line
is a narrow satin cincture. The skirt is cut
with demi-train and at the foot is a mar
row satin ruffie headed with thick cord of
the same material nearly an inch across.
With this are worn red shoes and red stock
ings, and altogether it is a very chic and
modish costume.

Patrol Wagon No. 8 Wins the Prize, but the
Others Are Not Satisfied.
Considerable interest was displayed in
the inspection of police patrol wagons yes
terday Except that City Hall was closed
and the officials were taking holiday, the
inspection n was the only municipal recogni-
tion of the day. Two wagons from each po-
lice district were in the line drawn up in
the Central station yard. Mayor Gourley,
Chief Brown and Police Superintendent
O'Mara officiated as judges. Several hun
dred people witnessed the proceedings.
The judges critically examined the appear
ance and condition of wagons, harness,
horses and men, and then unanimously de-
cided in favor of the Twelfth ward station
wagon.
Mayor Gourley presented the winners in
the competition with handsome gold ham
Loughrey. The Mayor, in a brief speech,
complimented all the competitors, selecting
companies /, 8 and 7, in the order named,
for special praise on their appearance. T.
j. Morley, one of the men on the Twelfth
ward wagon. received the whip in we'll
timed speech, in which he claimed Pitts
burg's police patrol service unexcelled in
the United States.
Some bad feeling exists as result of No.
8 company getting the prize. Inspector
Mclaughlin, Of the Second district. and
Captain Stewart, of the Third. were each
confident they would win, and the spirit of
competition was so strong that various Off
GERS in the Second and Third districts
wagered money on the result After the
judges had decided they were inconsolable,
and at last accounts were talking of a COM
petition of their own for purse subscribed
by all who may enter.

She hears the warriors in their death throes
