WHAT SHALL YOU BUY?
You VIII Know Just what Will suit You
When You See the Delightful Array
in Manson @. Larrabee's Store.

Men of every ella IS have to take their turn It
being laughed at by their fellows, and the anna
tsur photographer has been having his turn
since Manson G.. Larrabee brought from Ger
many that Iaughable little window piece which
represents a radiant young lady whom bash
full amateur is endeavoring to photograph. AS
he chances through the camera she rough
ishly raises a pig's face mask before her coun-
tenance Then when he finds out the deceit
there is much coquettish nodding and denying
on the part Of both figures. A crowd have
been around Mr.. Larrabee's window since ne
displayed this piece But the crowd outside
has been nothing to that inside. Mr.. LARA
bees store is always attractive to shoppers, pro
baby because there is always in it the hustle Of
much shopping. This year he has added to the
attractiveness for holiday shoppers by moving
all his goods that are sold by he yard to the
basement floor, thus giving the main floor en-
tirely to Christmas articles In making this
change he has secured greater room for Gus
toners. and has also contributed to their COM
fort by putting in new addition to his cash
carrying system, which hastens materially
the work OF making change. Many people will
go to Mr.. Larrabee's this week to purchase of
the new anthony ware which he imports from
Japan. The making OF this ware is secret OF
the Japanese, who alone have mastered the Sc
cret so long searched forfby the alchemists, the
art of making gold and silver. Antimony ware
has the colorS Of gold and silver, and like them
resists yaliantly the furnishing touches OF time.
A great variety of useful and ornamental arti-
cles, especially of bric-a-brac are made in this
metal. In the dry goods line the silk and
cloak departments are very alluring. Mr.. Lar.
rabee has for his cloak trade the lghtest and
pleasantest room in the store. With SO pleas
ant place and SO good a variety, this depart
ment has become very popular. Mr.. Larrabee
has placed over this room an experienced
cloakmaker, whose advice is found invaluable
to purchasers. In the basement are grouped
all those articles SO dear to the heart of the
prudent housewife, linens, oress goods,
blankets, towels, etc Mr.. Larrabee's business
has increased wonderfully within a few years,
and every available inch of space has some arti-
Gle to delight the searcher for aoliday bargains
and gifts for relatives and friends.

LEFT TO HER FATE.
Portland Bark Alice in Distress in MID
Ocean.

British steamer Bermuda, at New York from
Barbados, reported Saturday that on the 9th
inst, in latitude 800 81, longitude 72o 49,,
passed the American bark Alice of Portland
owned by J. S. Winslow s. Co., 1s9 days out
from Punta Gorda and bound for Baltimore.
She had encountered heavy weather, said the
captain Her seams were parted, and she was
leaking badly, but her captain signaled that
his vessel was not in immediate danger.
Alfred A. Rode, a seaman on the Bermuda,
made revelation to a New York reporter Mon
day evening. He said he had been appointed
by the crew as a committee of one to correct
the captains statement as published. 1--WE
met the bark Alice as the captain reported" he
said. "A northwest gale was blowing, and she
was lying under close-reefed topsailS and tax
ing water on her decks every time she rolled
Her captain hoisted two sets Of signals, and we
bore down upon her. AS we got closer we saw
that large number of the crew were working
at the pumps. There was a woman aboard
presume the captains wife. Her captain re-
ported that his vessel was leaking badly and
making four feet of water an hour. He added
that he was short Of provisions and Capt. Halli-
burton told him to send q boet, and he would
supply him. The captain Of the Alice said his
crew was too weak to send boat Both
watches aboard the Bermuda were called ON
deck, and all hands stood by the boats ready to
go off to the Alice. We drifted out of Mailing
distance but hove to and came back. IF you
want any provisions shouted Capt. Halli-
burton, you'll have to send a boat for 'em. If
not I'll leave you and 60 on. I've sailed under
the English flag for the last eight or nine years.
although an American. and that is the first
time I ever saw an English captain play the
coward.
be due to Captain Halliburton. The women and
the crew aboard of her may be starving this
minute"
Captain Halliburton admitted to reporter
that he declined TO send provisions aboard the
Alice, although her captain had asked him to.
He thought that II they wanted food badly they
would have launched boat and sent for it.

OUR BOARD OF HEALTH.
President Jordan Tells Why the Worlds
Fair Commissioners Should Recognize
It-But They Do Not Seem Inclined To
Do So, All on Account of Mr.. Bass.

There seems to be little prospect that the
work of the Maine Board of Health will re-
ceiye any attention or place in the Maine exhib-
it at the Chicago fair. Some time ago the
Board of Health applied to the Maine Commits
sfoner for $500 with which to make an exhibit.
The Maine board wished to display, as the
boards Of other states are about to do, exhibits
OF Its methods of work. plans, circulars, charts.
profles and other articles OF printed matter.
Our board of health is doing some of the best
work that is now being done in this country. Its
secretary. DR.. Young, stands in the front rank
andshis work has attracted wide attention. One
of the finest pieces Of work done by the board
of any state was the article recently issued by
the Maine board on the heating and yentlating
of school houses. Besides the desirablity of
having its work exhibited, there is another mat
ter of Importance connected with the fair. A
committee from the National Conference of
the State Boards of Health has formulated a
plan for general congress during the fair, spe-
cial parts being takon by the boards of the va
rious states. 1t is obvious that the work and
results of such a congress will be of great use.
The Maine aboard has been invited to partici
pate, but finds itself unable to on account of
the lack of appropriation. President Jordan
was appointed on the advisory board, but has
been forced to decline.
The Worlds Fair Commissioners have not
refused in so many words to give the appropria-
ton OF $780, but Mr.. Bass of Bangor, who is
chairman of the committee on summer resorts,
has not viewed the request with favor, and thus
the matter has been held up
President E. c. Jordan, of the State Board,
said yesterday that it seemed to be great mis-
take to treat the board of health thus. OF all
the Maine exhibits the greatest stress will be
laid upon those relating to Names charms as a
summer and health resort. The Maine Central
railroad is advertising Maine broadcast through
out the West as the sanitarium of the nation;
and yet it is proposed to have in the Chicago
Exposition not word or line to show that the
state does anything to protect the health of it's
own people or its visitors. The summer bust
ness of Maine has attained great proportions
and is the source of great revenue. 1t is diff
icult to understand on what theory it is pro-
posed to allow matter SO closely related to
this great industry as is the scope of work of
the State Board of Health, be unrepresented
The Board of Health make no extrayagant de-
mands. Sums as large as it asks have been Civ
en- to collect exhibits relating to matters of far
less importance to the state and its people.

DEATH OF j. j. CRONlN.
He Was Overcome by the Terrible Sight
Attending the Fall and Death of Will
liam McCalmon From the Baker Build
ing Last Wednesday.

+ The horrible death OF William McCalmon,
who fell from the roof the Baker boarding
house, Wednesday morning of last week. has
been followed by another death, not SO terrible
but peculiar in its circumstances. Just at the
moment when McCalmon fell with shrek
that struck terror into the hearts OF many, John
j. Cronin, the young man whose peculiar sick
ness was mentioned yesterday morning. was
driving by in his fathers delivery team. The
spectacle made him suddenly weak, pains at
the same time shooting through his head and
body. Saturday morning the disorder of his
nervous system, so far from abating, became
much worse, and he fell to the floor of his
fathers store in a fit, going into commissions.
Medical skill could do nothing for him, and
yesterday morning he died at7.3o o'clock. Hys-
terio epilepsy is the medical term, for this case.
which in its circumstances is quite unusual. He
will be buried tomorrow from the house of Mr..
John Cronin, his father at No. 221 Fore
street.
