Disbursiug Clerk Evans. Of the Department
of the Interior met with an odd mishap one
day last week, aud the consequences were that
he held lonely vigil until 8 o'clock Wednesday
night. Ii was tiresome watch be bad pre-
pared for himself, and was brought about
through mistake that caused no end of an
noyance throughout the time he was barred
out of the Department safe. He was unable to
pay off the employees of the Department on the
last day of the month. He was at his desk
bright and early on Wednesday morning wait
ing for o'clock to arrive, when the time-lock
on the safe should release the bolts and give
him access to the cash inside the vault. When
the hour of nine arrived quite number of
clerks had congregated and waited for their
salaries. When the hour arrived, however, the
bolts failed to fly back as usual, and the money
remained locked in the vault. An examination
of the locks followed. and to the horror of the
Disbursing Clerk he found that instead of be-
ing set for a. m. the lock was due to open at
9 that night. All during the day the clerks
from the various Bureaus Of the Interior De-
partmcnt focked to the Discussing Clerks
Office for their meney, but had to go away
emptyhanded because of the mistake. Mr..
Evans was on hand when 9 o'clock in the even
ing arrived and the bolts shot back, and he took
care to fix the lock so that 1t would come up
smiling promptly at 8 o'clock the morning fol-
lowing.

In its November bulletin the American Col
onzati0n Society announces Q new and i'm
portant departure from the former work of that
organization. When this society was first
organized slavery existed in this country, and
it's objects were to improve the condition of
the few free negroes. To do this the colony in
Africa known as Liberia was established. Since
the emancipation of the slaves, education at
home rather than transportation to foreign
lands, is the most important aim of the society,
which has very much modified and limited its
labors. What 1t now proposes to do, with the
aid and encouragement Of the United States
is to help the colony Of Liberia as much as
possible. Only few picked men and women
will be sent to the colony from this country,
and the funds of the society will be used to es
tsblish public school system in Liberia. Full
and Trustworthy information will DO gathered
and published from time to time, and efforts
will be made to bring about more direct and
frequent communication between this country
and Liberia. Il will also be the aim of the
society to make the coloDists of Liberia do
pend moro on themselves and not look to out
side help. The main Office of the society IL

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
What is Rheumatism :?

Rheumatism is the name for great variety OF
infammatory affections of the joints. Acute or
infammatory Rheumatism is likely to recur at
intervals-the main symptoms being pain, tend
erness, redness and swelling of the affected
joints, fever, headache, chillness thirst ana pro-
fuse perspiration of very acid nature and disa-
greeable odor. Chronic Rheumatism may begin
as slow, chronic disease, or may be acute at
the start and become chronic, after acute at
tacks. The joints are stiff, painful, somewhat
swollen, and have a creaking feeling when
moving them.
Another form is Chronic Rheumatism with
Deformity, which affects chiefly the smaller
JOINTS, from which the joint cartridges become
worn away, so that the bones rub against each
other with peculiar and painful grating; finally
the joints become dislocated the fingers, hands.
feet, and often the larger joints, stiff and i'm
movable, and the unhappy victim becomes help
less. This is the condition of those who are
exhibited in museums as petrfed men.
Rheumatism, the most common of all diseases
which attack mankind between the ages OF 80
and so years, is not dungeons to life under ordi-
nary circumstances, but no disease is more de-
structive of comfort and happiness, more wear
ing and facilitating; none more thoroughly in
capacitates for labor 1t is a .'SECTION OF

The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1892-03-09
What Causes it?

1t especially affects those who have "pre-
disposition to it. That is, their joints are so
constituted that cause, triyialin ITSELF induces
an attack of Acute Rheumatism. The blood of
the sufferer contains an excess of Tactic acid
and the authorities agree that it is this which
produces irritation in the affected joints. Both
the chronic and Acute forms occur frequently
in those who are exposed to wet cold or marked
variations of temperature, especially if severe
muscular exercise be added to this. Those who
live in dark, damp rooms, are nnderfcd and
have much mental worry are liable to it. Other
direct causes are severe exercise followed by
prolonged rest in damp Or cold atmosphere
sleeping in damp rooms Sheets becoming
drenched by storms. insufficient clothing, eX-
posure to draughts, working in damp Or sun
less places and living in malarial regions, weak
ened bodily health and impoverished blood,
from too severe work and insufficient food, i'm
proper kind of food and free use of stimGlantS.
Another general cause is found in some previ-
GUS or contemporaneous disease OF an inherited
tendency. Improper kinds of food or any food
improperly eaten will produce q disease of the
stomach which is characterized by too much
acid. This acid is absorbed into the blood and
is finally deposited in the muscles of the joints.
These causes produce that condition of the
blood which is the immediate cause of rheuma-
tiSm.

Jefferson,s Louisiana Home.

The winter home of Joseph jefferson
is on Orange island, New Iberia, La.
The house is one of the old manors, re-
modelled and refurnished by the actor.
Its Conservatives abound in tropical
fruits and flowers. Artificial ponds
TEEN with trout and black bass. Lake
Simonette, near by, affords the finest
fishing, while one has to step but few
yards from Jefferson's Preside to find
wild fowl in abundance. Luxuriant
groves, containing thousands of trees of
the mandarin and Brazilian varieties,
surround the house. Fully one hundred
pecan and the same number of orange
trees yield succulent corps yearly. In
the pastures are the finest specimens of
Holsteins, while in the stables are d

room. It is of marvellous beauty, and

Mrs. Bellows,s SHAKESPEARE Readings.

Mrs. John A. Bellows gave the first of
her Tuesday readings from Shakespeare
yesterday to a deeply appreciative au-
dience. Mrs. Bellows has voice remark
able for richness, variety and range, and
the thread of comedy-high comedy
was sustained throughout by her keen
sense of humor.
The womanly dignity of Olivia was not
once lost, while the sincerity of Viola
was steadily developed. In the scene of
Malvolio's finding the letter, observed by
Sir Toby Belch, Andrew Aguecheek and
Fabian, Sir Toby was always 'Sir Toby, :"
Aguecheek "Aguecheek." There was no
confusion of character, the voice always
portraying the speaker; while Malvolio's
hauteur was augmented by the harmony
of attitude with voice.
In the duel between Viola and Ague-
cheek, Mrs. Bellows clearly depicted the
timidity of the two, while keeping that
of the woman distinct from that of the
coward.
Most artistic in effect was the change
in rendition of the hackneyed phrase,
"Some are born great, some achieve great
ness and others have greatness thrust
upon Them" from the time when Malvo-
lilo laboriously deciphered it in the letter
to the time when he quoted it to Olivia
with implicit confidence in its application
to himself.
f. The climax of the reading was reached
when Sir Topas and the Jester, united in
one character, alternated the prayer
tone" of the parson with the falsetto of
the clown, while Malvolio's fearful voice
was heard from the darkness of his
straw-matted CELL"
The entire play was read with spirit
and feeling, and Mrs. Bellows's hearers
await with interest her Interpretation Of

Like Itn and tsThe Winters Tale"

MUSIC AND DRAMA.


Evans & Hoey and fine company will
present two performances of Hoyts
famous play, IA Parlor Match at City
hall this evening and Thursday. The
fun in "a Parlor Match is of such a
sort that the spectator does not have to
tickle himself to laugh, as the mirth will
come without. For genuine amusement
this piece is. unexcelled. While not
aspiring to the plane of legitimate COM
edy, it is one of those plays that makes
the audience think they have received
more than they paid for in fun, and feel
that they have enjoyed pleasant even

besides Evans and Hoey, many promi-
nent comedians, singers and dancers.
There will be but two performances
given in this city.

Tonight ''Mr. Wilkinson's Widows
will be given at Portland theatre by Mr..
Charles Frohman's admirable New York
company. The play is said to be one OF

The County Fair.
There has been great sale of seats for
the County Fair which will be seen at
Portland theatre tomorrow, Friday and
Saturday.
An exchange says: ssWhile we regret
the absence of Neil Burgess in the great
character of Abigail, Marie Bates renders
her so distinctly typical and enjoyable
that we are more than satisfied with her
impersonation. The character is that of
New England old maid, not of the Bos-
ton variety, who makes mistakes in
grammar and has ultra auburn hair, but
who is never found waiting to turn the
scales for justice and is wonderfully
tender to the orphans whom she adopts
from time to time.
Notes.
The last performance of "Cynthia's
Lovers was given at Portland theatre
last evening. The scenery was good, the
mechanical effects excellent, and the play
itself tiresome. There was small
house.

Is II Durable?

Yes, beyond question. Every condition lead
ing to it can be changed. The disturbing cause
can be expelled from the system, and III every
instance suffering may be promptly allayed.
In case of long standing, permanent distortion
ofthe body cannot be removed but pain and
inconvenience can be. The disease need never
get into chronic or equity shape if promptly or
properly treated. Experience has amply de-
monstrated that mere outward applications are
worthless. The disease has its seat in the
blood and any remedy to be successful must
deal with the obstructive acid which pOisons
