This is indeed a most remarkable cure
by wonderful medlcine-a medicine
which is beyond all doubt, the greatest
nerve and blood remedy ever discovered.
The Portland doctors are astounded at
it's effects in diseases whichlhave baffied

should make everybody suffering from
paralysis or any nervous disease use DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve reme-
dy without delay.
But do not wait until you are actually
paralyzed before using this great RENE
dy. 1t will always prevent paralysis,
nervous debility and nervous prostration
if taken when the first symptoms appear.
Particularly should it be taken in the
spring when everybody needs a spring

and invigorate the blood Take it if
you have a weak and tired feeling with
WEAKNESS of the limbs, numbness,
trembling, palpitation of the heart,
prickling sensation in fingers or toes,
headaches. dull feeling head, confused
mind, nervousness, sleeplessness, loss of
memory. 1t will overcome indigestion
and dyspepsia. regulate the bowels and
cure liver and kidney complaints. 1t is
the best blood enricher and invigorator
IN the world, anu should therefore be
used by ALL
It is purely vegetable and perfectly
harmless, and should you be sufferer
from disease you will use it if you are
wise. We would add that, although sold
by druggists, it is in no sense a patent
medicine, being the prescription and S
covery of DR.. Greene of "a Temple Place.
Boston, Mass, who is the most eminent
specialist in the country in the treatment
Of nervous and chronic diseases. Suffer-
ers have the privilege also of consult

A Wonderful Story Told by a Police
Officer.
His Remarkable Statements Borne Out
By the Facts.
Certainly Our People Should Thorough
Iy Understand this Matter.

Alexander Bell is a retired captain of
the Portland, (Me.) police force.
He has a strange and wonderful story
to tell.
Now Mr.. Bell is an old Grand Army
man; indeed, was one Of the founders of
the famous Bosworth Post, G. A. R.,
and is widely known and much respected
throughout the State of Maine.
We will let him tell his remarkable
story in his own way.
81 have had two strokes of paralysis, the
first about four years ago, the second in
January, 1891. My left side was COM
pletely paralyzed, face drawn, arm and
leg immovable.
On account Of my advanced age of Is
years, and this being second attack, my
physicians pronounced my case hopeless.
81 was finally induced to try DR..
Greenes Nervura blood and nerve RENE
dy and soon began to improve, the
muscles of my face Strengthened, then
my arms began to gain, and began to
walk after having used three bottles of
this remedy.
my arm can now place to my head
and have fair use of it, and with cane
have walked as far as two miles and a.
half.
''From being a helpless paralytic, hav-
ing to be dressed and cared for by
others, now care for myself, can walk
about the city and enjoy fair health.
II would state that after beginning the
use of DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy used no other medicine.
1.-THE result surprised and astonished
all my friends, and they have urged me
to make this statement as matter of
justice and to encourage others who may
be similarly afflicted.
II will also state that was soldier
in the late war and served 10 years on
the police force of Portland.

CANT.
The opening Of the newly enlarged es-
Establishment of Eastman Bros. 81 Ban
croft yesterday was one of the leading
trade events of the year in this city. The
addition of the two stores to the west
ward to the already large establishment
of this enterprising and popular firm has
greatly increased its facilities for pleas
ing it's patrons. The addition gives
frontage of IS feet on Congress street,
and a depth of so feet. Several floors
are included in the establishment, and
the total area of floor space occupied IS
22,2O0 square feet. All portious OF this
great floor space were thronged yester-
day from morning until evening by the
patrons and friends of the firm. 1t was
much like one of the red letter sale days.
OF course the two new departments,
those of the gentlemens furnishing
goods and the ladies' furnishings, were
especially interesting. Here can De
fonnd a varied and complete stock
which is entirely additional to what the
firm have before carried. One feature
OF the store in which the ladies' furnish
ings are displayed is an evening room"
This is a darkened room lighted by gas,
for the display of that class OF goods
which are to be worn much evenings.
This enables the purchaser to know
Just how her purchase is to look by gas
light. There is no such feature in any
store east of Boston, and it is much APP
preciated. The mems furnishing de-
partment is under charge of Mr.. Charles
f. Jordan, who is so well and favorably
known to the Portland public.
The reporter was very much interested
in many features of the stock displayed,
especially in the lace counter Messrs.
Eastman Bros. & Bancroft have mag
nificent stock of laces, such as you will
see nowhere else i'll Maine. There are
little point lace neck scarfs, made by
hand in Brussels, and selling at 1925
EACH Duchess lace which goes for $75
a yard, and other grades at correspond
ing prices.
Yesterdays opening will be continued
today and tomorrow, and thence through
the spring trade.

tured here three years since on Foo d
Adulteration, will give talk on ''Food
Products" in City hall uext Friday af-
ternoon.

mer system, and as he appears under the
auspices of very strong combination of
well known manufacturers, he will doubt
less say many things worth hearing.

will be distributed. Admission will be
by ticket which can be prhcured. with
out charge, of leadinfi grocers or at hall

Train Crew Strikes.

Traffic on the Boston 6 Maine railroad
was delayed about an hour at Haverhill,
Tuesday afternoon by novel strike.
The crew of the freight arriving from
Portland about $50 believed that they
had to work too hard for the money they
received and deserted the train. 1t was
heavy one, and blocked the tracks I'M
til the local yard men side-tracked it.
Three brakemen later arrived from Bos-
ton to take the place of the three strikers
and worked the train through.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Senator.


The tickets are selling rapidly at Port
land theatre for Mr.. Louis Aldrich's per-
formances OF 1.-THE Senator to be given
Friday and Saturday evenings. While
MI Aldrich is, of course, the great fea-
ture of the piece, ''The Senator" is by
no means a one part play. The support
ing company is composed of excellent
actors and every man and woman has
character of strong individuality and
worth doing well. The result is a fin
ished performance which impresses one
with sense of completeness that is too
often wanting in the plays presented by
stars. Mr.. Aldrich and his company are
as responsible for the great success of
''The Senator" into which they have put
the action of life, as the authors them
selves who wrote the lines and suggested
the groupings and pictures.
Patience and Mikado.
Mr.. Will Stockbridge announces that
April, Patience and Mikado,' are pro-
crossing finely, under the able direction
of Mr.. James Gilbert of Boston, who
staged ''1492' and many other operas.
Mr.. Gilbert is very much pleased with
the company, which is composed of the
very best singers in the city. Mr.. Stock
bridge may be sure of crowded houses
and he will spare no pains in making
this one of the finest Representations of
these operas ever given in this city.
GorInan's Minstrels
Germans Minstrels will soon be at
Portland theatre. tAll the large cities
endorse the entertainment presented by
Germans Minstrels. John, James and
George German are recognized the
world over as the great minstrel pro-
ducers
Concert at Gospel Mission.
The concert given last night at the
Gospel Mission for the benefit of the
musical fund proved to bel one of the
finest of the season. The orchestra rem
dered some fine selections. Miss Lizzie
NIL. DlOWA cttIf, AL llOI uCudl 1iAC oty ACs
Miss Evangeline Pearson, reader, was re-
ceived with great applause and captivated
the audience by her charming manner
and dramatic style. The pathetic poem,
''Last String Broke was rendered very
touchingly, while the wit and humor
displayed by her in the impersonations
of Ragerty man and Kate Benoia took
the house by storm. She was repeatedly
recalled. The young Lady was the recipi-
ent of beautiful basket of flowers.
The club swinging by Mr.. Daniel Farr,
one of Portland's favorites proved one
of the most attractive features of the
evening.
The trio by Messrs. John Shaw, Nor
man True and Miss Matte Halves was
most heartily encored, their voices finely
blending
Miss Annie Wiley and Miss Carrie
Winship played the accompaniment.
+, A fine collation. was served after the
entertainment.

The Beavers POWERFUL TEETH.

One such tooth taken from the lower
law of q medium-siZed skull (they can be
removed without difficulty. unlike the

curve. Only inch of this length projects

its outer face inches, OF which less than
an inch prOtrudes from its bone casing. In

that the trough, still elevated at one ex-

soon as the water reached the level OF the

discover anything wrong. Soon the water
began TO run off at the end which had iost

when he saw this. but as the end nearest

to pump.

GRACE IN GLASS OF VENICE.
The Crystalline and Sparkling Beauty Of

Since modern civilization began the

most skilled workmen OF Nenetia have
been brought to Chicago. and the result
IS the production at jackson Park. under
the eyes Of thousands, of those marvels
of delicant and delicious grace for which
the name Of Venice glass las been so long
synonymous.
Glassmaking is sculpture. II is art as

Of success. He is laborious writer
and begins work every day at o
o'clock, often working all day long.
though bis theory is that no one
should write more than three hours day.
He writes and rcwrites bis chapters, and
sometimes of whole days work not

illustration of the adage that genius is
the infinite capacity of taking pains;
but there are many exceptions-so many.
IN fact, as almost to disprove the correct

is quite possible that he owes to it much
Of his ability 10 speak his mind OF 1t so
independently.
As many as SC. 900 copies of Mr.. Bryce's

sold in this country. This fact leads the
New York Sun to remark that 1t Is not
any more true in England than it is in this
country that the reading of newspapers
is spelling the taste for books. Never IN
apy other generation were there "a large
editions OF books of knowledge and
thought printed and sold as there are m this
one. The figures given in the reports or
the British and American book trade are
amazing, especially as regards books
of the highest erudition, the deepest
cogitation and the wisest counsel. Tho
works of the great authors of tho past,

The proposed site is already named after

than CANDLES Hill. with Its smoky atiaos-
phere and limited space.
