RECENT DISCOVERIES,

Although many new and important discOv-
cries have recently been made in various
sciences, there is probably none Of greater
Importance to the people than the one recent
ly made by DR.. SHOOP, which is attracting
the attention of physicians and all classes of
people throughout the world.
We refer to the discovery as to the cause of
chronic diseases of the stomach, liver, kid
neys and internal organs.
The doctor has traced the cause to certain
nerves that have control of these organs, and
by prescribing DR.. SHOOP's RESTORATIVE,
preparation he prepares to act upon these
special nerves, the cause is removed and with
it the disease.
His New Book, explaining this discovery,
sent free to any address together with sam
pies for ct. stamp to pay postage.

Common Council.

Regular meeting of Common Council
Monday evening:
The Committee on Fire department
reported the result of their investiga-
ton regarding the crib which was sunk
in the river at foot of Green street to

that the crib be removed and cistern
sunk instead in the middle of the fire
platform at the foot of Green street,
said cistern to be fed by pipe running
out into the river far enough to furnish
clear water. Adopted.
The following resolution was passed:
Resozved, That hereafter the regular
meeting Of the Common Council shall
be held on the first and third Mondays
of each calendar month at o'clock

(meaning from the sum set apart by
the State board for the use of the State
Horticultural society ito complete and

vented only by vigorous protest from

from the associate officers" If the Of

means that |, while executive commits
sioner, insisted upon taking $500, or
any other sum, from the amount set
apart for the use of the Horticultural
society, for the purpose of installing
heTbariam, or for any other purpose
then he states which is absolutely un-
true. What any other executive COM

no concern. It is proper for me to state
that l never, while executive commits

Maine Central.

The Boston Transcript makes the follow
ing comment on the comparison of re-
ceipts of the road for 1893, with
those of 1892, published by the PRESS
yesterday:
The increase in operating expenses of
$29, 776 was caused largely by improve
ments, maintenance and equipment, new
equipment purchased, and maintenance
of way and buildings having cost S167. 1858
more than in the preceding year. The
physical condition of the Maine Central
is very fine and compares favorably with
any road in the East. 1t will be seen
that dividends are paid on increased
stock, but the surplus earned over
charges was equivalent to six per cent on
the stock as increased and $5S, 5S7 more.
That is, the Maine Central earned seven
per cent with which to pay six per cent
in the year ending September 30, 1873.
In round numb ers, there is S., 1000, 600
stock, six per cent on which is $500, 900. As
it is natural to expect reduced operating
expenses now there would seem to be no
reason why the six per cent dividend
rate cannot be maintained and it is
stated with a good deal of emphasis by
the Maine Central people that it will be
A New England railway stock paying
six per cent and selling at par seems
strange, however, and it is not surprising
that the rumor of a decreased dividend
should get started in the desire to ex-
plain the decline III price of the stock.
The record Of the stock is as follows: In
1879 it sold at 20; in 1887 at 159 3-4: in
June, 1890, at 1876; in March, 1892, at 112;

The Dark Continent.

The second entertainment in Gilbert S
Lyceum course was given at Kotzschmar
hall last evening to very good audience
by the celebrated African traveller, Paul
Du Chaillu, on the subject of the Dark
Continent.
Rev. DR.. Dalton introduced Mr..
DuChaillu in few complimentary words,
and as the lecturer came forward he was
warmly received.
Mr.. Du Chaillu said that he started on
his first trip to Africa when lad of
about eighteen years, and when he could
boast luxuriant head Of hair in place
of the bald spot that now adorns his
head. He landed on the west coast,
about two degrees north of the Equator
and was warmly welcomed by the chief
of the tribe.of natives who supposed he
came to trade. He described his reception
by the king in a costume of a swallow
tail coat that had been inherited from
his ancestors, which had lost one of it's
tails in the descent, by the second great
man in a costume of a silk hat, and by
the queen whose single article of apparel

was friendly, promised to give him pro-
lection and escort to the various tribes
inland. He was welcomed and treated
kindly everywhere. He learned to speak
number. of the native dialects, each one
of them simple, and embraced in from
fifty to a hundreds words EACH He told
of the various tribes he encountered;
how they wanted to keep him among
them and offered him wives without
number. He told of the great milan d
forest that stretched $500 miles sin one
direction and 1900 in the other, with it's
dense jungles, it's great trees like the
California giants, and it's animals and
snakes. He narrated his first encounter
with the cannibals and his description
showed them a race of men with mag
nifcent physique and of stalwart
courage The kings first encounter with
q looking glass was very amusing. The
lecturer also toldsof the pigmies that most
interesting race, and claimed that he was
the first white man to ever meet them.
His most dramatic recital, however,
was his description of his meeting and
shooting the gorilla. which brought
forth deserved applause.
