Maine should Have a State Flower.

To the Editor of the Press:
That Maine has no state flower is a
fact not new to you, of course. About a
year ago / wrote to Superintendent Luce
on the subject, and he favored the choos-
ing of flower. So much so that the
subject was taken up at our york
County Teachers Convention" a paper
read and vote taken, resulting in a ma
iority choice for the May flower. Since
then the matter has rested. Other
states, however, are making their decis-
ions. Iowa not long ago made her
choice-the rose-all the school children
voting. Surely Maine ought not to be
behind in any matter that will add to her
position among the other states. The
press has always been most influential in
pushing work of this kind, and after
some deliberation 1 decided to bring the
subject to the notice of the editor of the
PRESS. The children should have a
voice in this; they should have an intense
interest in everything pertaining to our
good old Commonwealth. Can not this
matter be brought before the people
of Maine through the columns of your
paper? Several plans present themselves,
but an editor is wiser than /. Will you
pardon this intrusion for the sake of the
cause.
Yours truly,
Cora B. BIcKFoRD,
21 Birch Street.

OUR DANGER.
Look Out for the Spring Of 1898
FOREwARNED is FoREARMED.

The Hatcheries of Cholera, and What Is
To Be Seen There-If the Disease
Breaks Out in New York Where VIII 1t
End?
There are few things which have never
come to pass which seem surer OF com
ing than Cholera this spring. Three
well known physicians, one in Boston,
two in New York, have said this. A re-
cent despatch from Hamburg in the
daily papers says:
cit is feared that the seeds of death
sowed last summer will yield fruitful
harvest in the spring"
There is no lodging this DIR ad disease
in the spring and summer OF 1888.
The country is ripe for It. :,
Orr lax immigration laws will be
wholly responsible for the death rate
through Cholera during 1893.
For wears the United States has been
Europe's sewer. All the scum of her
human tides have been SKINNED off and
ladled to our shores.
Austria, Bavaria, Poland, Russia,
Turkey, Italy, China, these and many
other foreign countries send the rag tag
the vile. the diseased, and the utterly
lost. to our shores. This they have been
doing for wears with the utmost impuni-
ty.
As a famous New York physician re-
Gently remarked to the writer.
ssHow can we escape Cholera next
wear? OF course, it won't break out up
on 9Th Avenue, but it will eventually
reach there, and all over the land. 1t
will break out over on Forsyth, and Di-
vision. and Hester streets, and the
Bowery. and Cherry Hill, and the Five
Points. and Roosevelt street. Those
points are points of dirt and vermin.
That is where Cholera in this country
will break out. God knows where it
will end'
This is an awful but timely warning.
Cholera is deadly, that we know.
The way to escape the frightful vista
ton is to be prepared for It,
Get your house-that is your body-in
perfect order.
Purify your system.
Cleanse and enrich your blood.
Remember that the Boston Globe said
editorially:
contagious diseases seldom attack
perfectly healthy people. Persons whose
vitality is low and whose general health
is impaired. are the first to fall preys to
Dr.. John B. Bray of Bridgton, in re-
Spouse to inquiry, said:
nCertainly, people should now look
sharply after their health. If Cholera
reaches our shores everyone should be
prepared physically, SO far as possible, to
withstand it. We should put our bod
les in good condition, as well as our
premises. If the blood is foul, the livel
such a person is far more likely to be
among the first victims than others in

He also indorses, as the ideal remedy
for purifying the blood and arousing vi

concerns the people now, and it is GER

DEATH OF MRS wAKELEY.


 Mrs Selina Wakelev of Wells Hollow, died, last Monday, of pneumonia. Mrs Wakeley was S4 years old, and a lady highly respected by all who knew her, having been a member of the Congrega- tional church for the last B years. She was kind neighbor and a truly consist ant Chris tian woman.

cate sound temperance principles, muc would be accomplished.

The numerous poisoning cases suggest the importance of rigid laws regulating the sale of poisons. If it were necessary to se- cure physicians prescription, in order to get the deadly stuff, it might have a tendency to prevent these. The Mannering case and the recent cases in New York state bring this question to mind. Recorder Smyth had been out of the Harris case but few hours when another case ot precisely the same nature was begun before him in the New York gen eral sessions court. Dr Robert w. Buchanan for whose trial the selection of a jury is now going on, is, like Harris, young man of much intelligence. He, too, is charged with murdering his wife, and with morphine, and the defence is gaing to be the same that liar ris would employ could he secure another trial-that the dead woman was addicted to the morphine habit. The Buchanan trial, however, has one additional feature ot inter est in the fine art of poisoning, and that is the imputaton that by the application of belladonna to the eye the pupils ot the al legged victim of the prisoner were kept from contraction, so that the doctors called in were deceived and the symptoms did not suggest that she was dying of poisoning

Some of the older western states are now enjoying New England's experiences of a quarter century ago, touching immigration. The immigration into South Dakota this spring IS reported to be very large. Every railroad in the state is running special trains which carry immigrants goods exclusively. Lyman county, which the governor recently organized, already has several hundred fam. lies, and the register of the Chamberlain land office estimates that during the last three weeks of March the filings of new settlers were nearly 1000. It appears that consider able part ofthis immigration comes from oth- CT Western states, such as Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota.
