Better Than Personal Bonds.

Corporate guarantee is more effective
than personal surety in any case. The
American Surety Company of New York
is at the head of this system in this coun-
try. Its financial position may be seen
on reference to it's annual statement
in our columns today. Many of the ma
tional and savings banks, trust compa-
MES, railroads, post offices, guardian
ship and business houses and others,
now hold the bonds of this strong COM
pany for their employees and in prefer
ence to any personal bonds, OF the bonds
of any foreign or other mixed company
of this country.
Bondsmen amply good at the time
they assume such obligations, may die
or become become insolvent, and they
will often avoid responsibility on techni-
cal points.
W. D. Little is the agent of this COM
pany for Maine.

George Fl. Lefayor.

Mr.. George III. Lefavor, day foreman OF
the PRESS office, died at his home, NO.
III Franklin street, about o'clock yes
terday afternoon, after an illness OF
about 10 days, of pneumonia. Mr.. LIE
favor contracted the fatal sickness on
the night of the Lincoln Club banquet,
by going from the over-heated club din
ing hall out into the severe storm.
Mr.. Lefavor was one of the oldest and
most widely known of the printers of
Portland. He was born in 1886. AS a
young man he came to Portland from
Belfast. and here learned his trade.
About 1856 he was working on the estate
of Maine," John A. Poor's paper, and it
is noteworthy fact that one of his COM
panions in that office was Mr.. A. G.
French, then a young man just out of
his time, now the veteran marine editor
of the PRESS. When the Press was es-
tablished in 1862, both Mr.. Lefayor and
Mr.. French were journeyman printers In
the city, and together they joined their
fortunes with those of the new paper.
Mr.. French set up the first reading type
on the paper, while Mr.. Lefavor worked
on the advertisements. Together they
have for many years been the only sur
vivors of the company of men who
founded the PRESS and made it a success
over thirty years ago. MI. Lefavor did
not remain continuously in this Office.
A year or two after the paper was found
ed he went to Boston, and worked there
for some time. But in 1865, he returned
to the PRESS, and has been in its COM
posing room continuously since. At
first he was at the case, then was pro-
noted, in 1872, to the position of night
foreman, which he held for many, years
Within few years he found the duties
of that position too arduous, and the day
foremanship was given to him.
Mr.. Lefavor was most conscientious
and Industrious workman, always faith
full to his duty and painstaking in exc
cutting it. Throughout the long years of
his service In the Office of the PRESS he
had the highest confidence of his em-
ployers, and the respect of those who
worked under him.
He was member of the Church of
the Messiah, of Maine Lodge of Odd
Fellows, Eastern Star Encampment,
Grand Canton Ridgely, and of Portland
Typographical Union.
Mr.. Lefavor became interested in the
Reform Club movement when it started,
and has been an untiring worker in it's
interest for many years. Almost up to
the day of his death he was engaged in
the work of this movement, which is
still active in this county.
He leaves widow and four sons,
George E., foreman of the Telegram,
Walter L., of the firm of Lefayor Bros,
and two younger boys.
The funeral will be from his late resi-
dence, No. III Franklin street, Wednes-
day afternoon, at 2.30 o'clock.

With torturing, disfiguring eczemas,
and every species of itching, burning
bleeding, scaly, crusted, pimply and
blotchy skin and scalp diseases are
relieved in the majority of cases by
single application, and speedily, per-
manently, and economically cured by
the Cuticura Remedies when the best
physicians, hospitals and all other rem
edies fail. To those who have suffered.
long and hopelessly, and who have lost
faith in doctors, medicines, and all things
human, the Cuticura Remedies appear,
with force never before realized in the
history of medicine. Every hope, every
expectation awakened by them, has
been more than fulfilled. Their success
has excited the wonder and admiration
of physicians and druggists, familiar
with the marvellous cures daily effected
by them. They have friends in every
quarter of the civilized world. People in
every walk of life believe in them, use
them, and recommend them. They are in
truth the greatest skin cures, blood puri-
fiers and humor remedies of modern
times. Sale greater than the combined
sales of all other skin and blood rene
dies. Sold throughout the world.

Made
Possible

One of the largest successes
in the way of Flavoring Ex-
tracts in the world is the
Price Flavoring Extract Com
pany. Their success is
attributed to the perfection
of DR.. Prices Delicious Flaw
oring Extracts. This perfec-
ton was made possible
through the new processes
discovered by DR.. Price for
extracting from the true fruits
their natural flavoring proper
ties. Any housekeeper that
will use DR.. Prices Orange,
Lemon, Vanilla, or any other
flavor, will pronounce them
faultless.
The purity of DR.. Prices
Flavors offers the best secur-
ity against the dangers which
are common in the use of the
ordinary favoring extracts in
the market.

Prof. Gleason,s Horse Management.


Prof. Gleason gave another of his won
derful exhibitions of mastering horses
with bad dispositions at Congress rink
last evening.
The rink was actually packed full of
spectators, the attraction having become
quite popular. The first horse he ex-
hibited was general runaway, but by
the Professors logical method he finally
had him entirely subdued.
He then took the Nelson colt and soon
had him in such condition as to be har-
messed double with the first horse and
drove both around the rink while attend
ants made all the noises and rackets inn
aginable, winding up with fire crackers
and waving flags.
He then took a regular back yard
kicker, and the animal as a kicker was a
bowling success. He kicked everything
to pieces for half an hour, but final
ly under the Professors persuasive ideas
consented to stand on his feet and be-
have.
Tonight two bad kickers will be intro
duced, also the three horses hitched up.
The Dyer horse and the brick yard kick
er will will be among the bad subjects.
Prof. Gleason offers 800 to anyone
who will bring him a wild and vicious
stallion to break.

little whether the stock is owned by

no indication of the existence of
