Bible Work at Deerine.

Two tried faithful women and one man,
have been commissioned by the State
Bible Society for work in Deering in con-
nection with the systematic effort the
society is carrying forward through
Maine. These Christian women Miss
s. B. Morse and Miss A. S. Merron, who
have labored in other sections of the
state for the society are now working at
Woodfords. In very quiet way these
workers are doing much needed work
for God and humanity. As the move
ment is a strictly INSTRUMENTATION
one these visitors will call at every home
and it cannot be doubted that they will
be received by every patriot and Chris
tan in manner becoming the great
object for which they are laboring.
Those residing in Deering who are con-
nected with the churches in Portland as
well as those connected with the Deering
churches will be given an opportunity at
their homes to contribute through these
visitors to the good work this society is
doing. There is great need of an increase
in the offerings to carry on this impera-
lively needed work.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Pavilion.

The Pavilion.
Another has been added to the list of
successes produced by Manager Mccall
lum's company this year. Fair Play was
given its initial performance at the Pa
vilion yesterday, and passed off with
great smoothness. giving much pleasure
to the two large audiences. The play is
romantic and exciting. AS a scenic
production it is simply astonishing for a
summer theatre. The ship. the sinking
scene, the life raft and theiother stormy
scenes of the piece were depicted with a
realism not often seen in any theatre.
The play calls for strong acting on the
part of Mr.. McCallum's company. and
they are equal to the emergency. Miss
Hamilton adds considerably to her sea-
sons triumphs in her Interpretation of
her role, and all the members of the cast
are worthy of special mention. Another
week of big houses is assured.
The Dazzler.
Cosgrove & Grants comedians in ssThe
Dazzler," have become established ia
vorites in this city, and their return to
Portland Theatre tomorrow and Thurs
day evenings will be welcomed by all
lovers of farce-comedy in this city. The
organization is stronger this season than
ever before. All the old fayorites of last
years company have been retained, and
the performance this year will be
strengthened by the appearance of that
charming soubrette, Annie Lewis, as
Kitty Starlight She is well known for
her great success in Yon Yonson, and
last season as the star OF The Nutmeg
Match, and will prove a great addition
to the already strong company.

Erysipelas to Cure Cancer.
Hartford Courant.1


DR.. B. Coley, OF the New York Cam
Ger Hospital, is satisfied that cure for
cancer has been found in the incubation
of erysipelas The hint was given by
the marked improvement of cancer
patient who had been inoculated with
erysipelas. Then several patients were
treated on this plan. The number is not
given but the report shows that 25 per
cent of the cases of carcinoma were
cured, and 40 per cent? of the sarcom-
atous cases. For incubation pure Gull
ture of the streptococcus was used, and
the NEGOTIATIONS were usually made In
the tumor itself. Some made at dis
lance. however, resultedsin the disappear
ance of he tumor. The reaction was al
most identical with that produced by
true erysipelas of limied form, and COM
monty passed away in one or TWO Gays.
Perhapst he most important part OF III.
Coley's report is the brief passage IN which
he advises that this treatment pc noI en-
ployed Unfortunately until IurtneT
chemical experiments shall have proved
its limitations. Meantime, the interest
in these further experiments will be
lively and widespread. Cancer is a toler-
ably common disease, classed as incur
able. except by the knife, and liable to
reappear after an operation has been
performed. If it can be fought by. an
other disease where medicine has failed,
this is a great discovery.
Of what is considered proved up to the
present time DR.. Coley says in his report
First, that the curative effect of erysi-
pelas upon malignant tumors is an es-
tablished fact; second, the action upon
the sarcoma is invariably more powerful
than upon carcinoma in about the ratio
of three ITO one; third, the treatment
of inoperable malignant humors by re-
peated inoculations of erysipelas is both
practicable and not attended with great
risk, and fourth, the curative action is
systematic and probably due chiefly to
which products may be solated and used
without producing erysipelas.n

fulfill this expectation.

DER GEN. CANIPOS.
Two Bombs Thrown Mt the General
During Il Review Of TrOOps-The
General and Several Others In-
jured md One Man Is Killed.

Barcelona, Sept. pa tremendous
sensation was caused here yesterday by
an attempt to murder Gen. Martinez
Campos, the famous Spanish commander,
ex-president of the council, and the man
who made the military pronunciamento
which gave the throne of Spain to Alfonso
II. Gen. Martinez Campos was present
at a review of the troops of this district,
and surrounded by a brilliant staff he
watched the maneuyers, and seemed high.
ly pleased with the appearance of the
troops. At any rate, he was laughing
and chatting with Gen. Castelloi. chief-of-
the-staff, and so doing he rode to the
reviewing point and the march past com
menced. The troops had already COM
menced the march past when Il wild. ex-
cited looking man was noticed to be push
ing his way through the crowds nearest
to the staff of, the general. At first it
was imagined that the man was only all
individual who, carried away by the ex-
element of the moment. was rudely push
ing himself forward. Several people re-
monstrated with this man, but he paid no
attention to anybody around him. while
intently watching Gen. Martinez Campos.
When the actions of the wild looking man
staff, he was within a few yards of the
general. Suddenly the man pulled what
appeared to be a ball from the right hand
pocket of his trousers and threw it at
Gen. Campos. A terrific explosion fol-
lowed. Before the report had died away,
| and while the people were too petri6ed to
move, the man quickly took second Of
the strange balls from the inside pocket
of his coat and hurled it at the general,
who was then Frustrated upon the ground.
Happily Il man in the crowd struck the
bomb throwers arm just as the second
deadly missile was thrown, and while it
exploded among the staff officers. it did
! not fall close to Gen. Martinez Campos.
Then the man who had thrown the bombs
was seized and thrown to the ground,
| half a dozen people holding him down.
until the staff officers crowded around
the PROSTATE form of the great general.
Gen. Campos was injured severely but
| ordered tho review to proceed. There
were several persons in the crowd who
were injured severely by fragments of
| the bomb. In addition. Generals Bustos
and Molius We're also wounded. and a
civic guard standing near Gen. Martinez
! Campos was instantly killed. The name
| of the bomb throwcr has been ascertained
| to be Pallas.' He is known as Il notorious
| anarchist, and when questioned concern
ing his crime, de6antly admitted that he
intended to kill Gen. MARTINEZ; Campos
and his staff. The anarchist will prob
ably be tried by court martial. and may
be shot within twenty-four hours.
