Cures Others

Will cure You, is true statement of the
action of AYERS SarsapariIla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood; but, while this assertion is true of
AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend. and try to i'm
pose upon you, as ''iust as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if You need blood-purifer
and~would be benefited permanently.
This medicine, for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed reputation, and made a
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Sa.saparilla eradicates the taint of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deser-
vedly, the confidence OF the people.

An Early Experience OF Bishop Brooks.
DR.. Edward Swasey of this city sends
the following story. which relates to the
boyhood of the late Bishop Brooks:
When mere lad, he with one of his
brothers was sent on a short visit to Lis
aunt, his fathers only sister, on well
stocked farm in Maine.
They both were making the most of
their halliday and enjoying to the full
measure every moment Of their time,
But at length Sunday morning came and
with 1t the sound of church bells and the
usual family preparations to attend
church. But tho boy Phil had suddenly
disappeared, and no one knew where he
had betaken himself to. Diligent search
was made both through the house and
through the barn for him, but he did not
appear. At last my mother looked un-
der the bed in the guests chamber (the
least frequented chamber in country
house,, and there she found the future
bishop of Massachusetts.
Poor boy, he had probably had some
inkliug of what the church service meant
In those days in Congregational coun-
try church, both as to duration and the
length of the sermon! His little scheme
to secure forenoon out of doors rather
than spend it shut up in church had
been frustrated. He was brought into
the light, however, and taken to church.

Although he has always been an ear
nest Democrat and his paper has ranked
high among the leading Democratic jour-
mails of the country, Mr.. Quinby has
hitherto refused Office. He would prob
ably have found Office easy enough to
get, too. for he is one Of the most popu-
lar men in the Wolverine State and has
long been personal friend of President
Cleveland, from whom he might have
had an attractive appointment in 1885 if
his inclinations had led him to accept it.
Mr.. Quinby is native of Maine and
was born at Brewer Dec. IA, 1885. He
is a graduate Of the University Of Mich,
gan and member Of the bar of that
state, though Of course not in the active
practice of his profession.

Quinby of the Detroit Free Press Made
Minister to Holland.
The salary of the United States minis
ter to The Netherlands is only 81, 500 a

William Emory Quinby, who succeeds
Samuel P. Thayer of Minnesota in that
position. Mr.. Quinby is the editor and
chief proprietor of the Detroit Free Press
and possesses ample means to properly
maintain the social dignity Of his post
abroad independently Of his salary.
Mr.. Quinby's connection with The
Free Press began in 1861, when he &C.
cepted temporary position upon what
was then paper Of small circulation
and merely local influence, though it
was upward of 80 years old. Mr.. Quin-
bys connection must have been pleasant,
for it soon became permanent and ulti-
mately very profitable. In 1858 he was
made managing editor and in 1872 be-
came its editor in chief and principal
owner, and under his administration the
circulation and influence Of the paper
were widely extended. His literary
taste is of a superior quality, and he is
said to hold rigid views of the mission of
journalism as a public educator.

Old Friends at a Funeral.

ftIt's quite mournful sight, and yet
one that brings with it a crumb Of COM
fort" said A. P. Haskell, ''to see old
friends gather about the corpse Of one Of
their number. A few days since I at
tended the funeral Of a prominent and
aged citizen OF Denver, a man who knew
the thriving city as mere village, and
was with a number of others the founder
of it's present greatness. Il was beau
tiful morning Of sunshine and pleasant
breezes, and I'm sure The lille old chapel
never looked more blessed and peaceful
than on the morning Of my old friends
funeral. Some time before the long line
Of carriages wound over the hillside to
the church, a crowd Of his friends gath
cred about the church door. They were
every one long past the middle of life,
and hair that was medium between
silver and lambs fleece predominated.
"The number of times that the men,
bers Of the throng congratulated each
other upon each Others youthful looks,
and the often reiterated statement that
You look younger than you did 10 years
ago became really humorous, though at
funeral. They speculated ON the num-
Der of years each had to live and Joined
hands over the statement that I'VE Will
soon go together, old boy and 4 think
I'm next In all that sunlight and joy
full atmosphere it really seemed good to
know that the worn and emaciated
frames, the great load Of long standing
and accumulated sorrow. might be placed
in a beautiful receptacle and given to
earth again while the soul betook itself
to another condition, free perhaps in a
measure from much of life's worry and
no less Of sunshine and friendship than
was here on earth or ever will be."-St.

Prizes and a Prank

WATERvILLE, June 3.-The award of
prizes of the Sophomore prize declama-
tion at Colby University, Friday night
were as follows: Gentlemen, Mr.. j.
Colby Bassett, first; MI Fred Bryant,
second ladies, Miss Lila P. Harden, first:
Miss Linda Graves, second.
The sophmore reading was slightly in
terrupted. Near the close of the ex-
ercises an alarm of fire was sounded.
Numbers rushed out to find that it was a
bogus alarm and they went back,
but had hardly returned when all the
lights in the church were extin-
guished and darkness reigned. With
great presence of mind the speakers con-
tinued and the exercises were closed to
the light of matches here and there
over the church.
Of course the Freshmen are charged
with the disturbance and they are proba-
bly, guilty of extinguishing the lights
but not;of the fire alarm.

VALkYRiE's CHANCES SMALL.
The Americas Cup Likely to Stay on This
Side of the Pond.

LONDON, June 3.-The Valkyrie won
her honors today in race over an ocean
course of over so miles, from Southend
to Harwich. The ease with which she
left the Britannia and the other yachts
shows that the challenger for the Ameri-
cas- cup is likely, after all, to prove the
fastest of the crack racers on this side of
the water.
There was fresh breeze blowing at
the start from the east, and at 9.25 a. m,
gun was fired and the Valkyrie crossed
the line first, followed by the Britannia,
Satanita, Calluna and Iverna in that or
der. The three smaller cutters entered
did not start. The yachts arrived at
Harwich in the following order: Valky-
RE, Al. Am. 53s; Satanita, 4h. 52m. SIS. !;
Britannia, 4h. 55m. 24s.; Calluna, 4h.
Som. 43s., and Iverna 5h. 16m. ASS. The
Valkyrie takes first prize, $50: Satauita
second, e25, and Calluna third, $40.
Looking over all the races thus far
sailed, it seems impossible that any one
of these new English Yachts can carry off
the American cup. The Valkyrie is very
little faster than the old Volunteer.
The only way of comparing the per-
formances of the new. boats is by the
Iverna standard. The Iverna is conceded
to be five minutes better over a so mile
course than the old Thistle, which was
defeated by the American yacht Volun-
teer.
Thus far the Valkyrie has shown her
self not more than ten minutes at the
outside better than the old Iverna over a
50-mile course, and so the Valkyrie is
certainly not more than quarter of an
hour better than the Thistle was in 1887
over a 50-mile course.
The general belief here is that the. Val
kyrie has little chance to capture the
cup.

LEWISTON, June 4.--Hiram Kicker,
ST., died at the Mansion House, Poland
Springs, at 6.45 tonight of troubles Incl
dent to his advanced age. The Mansion
house where Mr.. Kicker died is only a
few feet from the spot where he was
born 81 years ago. The grandfather of
the deceased was one of the pioneer set
tiers of the locality, making his home in
what is now the town of Poland before
the forest had been broken and when
roads and stage coaches were still things
of the future. Mr.. Kicker has
been prominently identified with the in
terests of the region where he spent his
life. In 1S47, he owned all the land
around Rumford Falls. and he was one of
the promoters of the Buckield railroad,
and after the line had been pushed as far
as Buckfield, he built steamer to run
in connection with it to the Falls. But
his chief interest was in connection with
the famous mineral spring and hotel. He
leaves six children, three sons in part
nership with him in the ownership of the
Poland springs and hotel property and
three daughters.
