a,,mpses Of portland and casco Bay.

This is the title of the new book for
the season of 1894, by G. W. Norris, the
prospectus of which is now ready, and
which promises to be one Of the finest
books ever published by him. He wishes
to impress on the people of Portland and
vicinity that this will be superior to any
thing of the kind before attempted of
Portland and Casco Bay. The fact that
the illustrations to be very full, en-
bracing the principal points of interest
here and in the harbor, and that the
work is to be published by the Moss
Engraving Company of New York City
insures its success, and every citizen of
Portland should be interested in helping
to make it so. The people who visit
our city and the islands distribute a
great deal of money which is divided
among the hotels and, transportation
companies and thus every line of bust
ness is more or less benefited thereby.
The more people who come, and the
more money they spend the more bust
ness thrives, and if the people of Port
land will contribute more money and
energy, more visitors will be induced to
come each year. Those wishing to be
represented in "Glimpses of Portland
and Casco Bay" in the way of advertis-
ing or illustration Of their business, can
address G. W. Morris. 100 Lincoln ST.,
this city.

The Atkinson Failure.

The Boston journal says that from a
despatch published on Saturday morn
ing it might be inferred that the Traders
National Bank of Boston was involved
as a creditor in the Isaac Atkinson en-
barrassment at Portland. Some Traders
National Bank may be involved, but it is
not the Traders of Boston.
1t also states that it has been errone-
ously stated that the Blackstone Nation
al Bank was creditor in the Isaac G..
Atkinson failure. AS fact, the bank
lost nothing, but on the other hand,
everything owing it at any time has been
paid.

PROF. BROWN, O. s.,

Is about to make his Goth annual visit
here. His Prescription Spectacles
preserve the Sight Dispel Head
ache, Nausea and Vertigo.
Tired, aching and infamed eyes are condi-
lions that cannot exist under the influence of
spectacles that are correct. Consult him and
see il your case cannot be helped or cured.
No charge for Consultation. Any appoint
ments made with his Agent or orders sent to

TESTIMONIAL.
Knowing of the great number of people, both
old and young, who are suffering from uncOr-
rected or partially corrected errors rof re-
fraction accommodation and muscular incO-
ordination, and realizing that none but spec
ialist can with safety prescribe spectacles
under such conditions, we take pleasure in
recommending Geo. H. Brown, Q. S., TO any
who are complaining from any of the diseases
or defects he treats.

CHAPMAN NATIONAL BANK
Has Elected Officers and Opened its Books
for Business.

By reference to our advertising columns
it will be seen that the Chapman
National bank has complied with all the
requirements of the national banking
laws relating to the organization of
national banks, and the comptroller Of
the currency has issued his certificate
authorizing it to commence business.
The bank, which numbers among it's
stockholders some of the most prominent
business and professional men of Cum
berland and Oxford counties, according
ly opened it's books for bushes yesterday
at it's banking rooms, 1876 Middle street.
It's board of directors is composed of
Cullen G. Chapman, formerly manager of
the Chapman Banking Company; ex-
Mayor Charles J. Chapman of the Chap
man Banking Company and of the firm
of Norton, Chapman & Co.; Nathaniel
W. Morse, capitalist and treasurer of the
falmouth Loan and Building Association;
Ephraim NJ Steadman of the firm of E.
M. Steadman & Co., wholesale grocers;
Seth L. Larrabee, ESQ.,, councillor at law
and city solicitor; Calvin Bisbee, mer-
chant and director IN the Bethel Savings
bank; Bryce M. Edwards of the firm of
Edw ards & Walker, dealers in hardware;
Perley P. Burnham, merchant, director
in the Bridgton Savings bank and treas
urer of the Bridgton railroad; Oren
Hooper of the firm of Hooper, Son &
Leighton, furniture dealers. Cullen &c.
Chapman, is president, Chester Fl.
Pease is cashier and Charles J. Chapman
is vice president
The banks list of directors and officers
afford ample guarantee that It's affairs
will be conservatively managed and
there is no doubt under their guidance
the new institution will enter upon a
prosperous career. Besides receiving
regular mercantile deposits subject to
check, we understand the bank will have
department of special deposits or a
savings depart ment, in which sums of
any amount can be deposited and interest
upon said deposits will be credited and
paid every four months. This will be a
new and favorable feature for deposltors,
as the prevailing custom now with
savings institutions is to pay or credit
interest only semi-annually.

rEMpEpAscE AND BUSINESS.

We have more than once pointed out how
business Is coming TO support temperance
more and more strongly every year. There
was another illustration OF the fact in Phila.
delphia. Edwin s. Cramp, OF the great
shipbuildlng company, which employs an
army OF workmen appeared before the
License Court to remonstrate against the
granting oflicenses TO four saloon-keepers in
the vicinity OF their works. Ms. Cramp
stated very concisely the grounds for his up
pearunce as follows:
I'VE object solely for business reasons e
tho proximity OF these four drinking places
and have practically nothing to add to the
remonstrances already illed. The saloons
are actually at our gates and have resulted in
many accidents and the Generalization OF our
men,"
There is good deal OF discussion among
students OF the liquor problem as to whether
an increase OF saloons results In an increase
OF drunkenness. Mr.. Cramps testimony is
very positive on the Affirmative side. "when
the number Of saloons was increased In the
neighborhood," he said, "demoralization at
once began. Our experience has proven
that an Increase in the number Of saloons u
a failure.

lem Is +. w. Campbell, NJ. D., Dean OF the
Faculty OF Lenox College, attending physi.
elan OF Western Hospital, and Medical Ref.
cree for the Canadian Life and New York

"A great proportion OF the cases he had to
deal with In his hospital practice was caused
by drink. He would cay n. least seventy per
cent directly, and from ten to fifteen per
cent. Indirectly. Closely questioned by the
Chairman, he repeated his statement TINT
FULLY eighty-llvc per cent. OF the hospital
cases were the result OF drink. He further
volunteered the statement that after nine
years experience OF dealing with 100 sol.
diers in 81. Johns Infantry School. he was
prepared to state that ninety-nine per cent.
OF all the trouble with the men in that insti.
tuition was caused by liquor Some trouble
came from the canteen in the school, but
more from liquor facilities outside"
