DIR. R. G. FLOWER.
The Famous Boston Physician to Visit
Maine,

DR.. R. C. Flower of Boston, the great
specialist in chronic diseases, will, at the
request of numerous patients, soon visit
this section professionally, and may be
consulted at the following named places
on the dates given: Bangor. Me-, Pen
obscot Exchange Hotel, Monday, August
18th; Augusta, Me-, Augusta House,

DR.. Flowers cures of abandoned cases
have excited the professional world for
years as bordering on miraculous.
The remarkable cures we published
some time ago would suggest to the most
serious and desperate cases the greatest
amount of hope. Some of the long ae-
counts of DIR. Flowers astonishing cures,
and which were vouched for by people of
undoubted reliability, sound like Bible
miracles. The great DR.. Andrew Stone,
of Troy, N. Y, once said of DR.. Flower:
ssHe is the greatest, most scientific and
skillful physician of this age, if not of
any age.'
1t is claimed for DR.. Flower that he can
tell any person his trouble without ask
ing any questions, and that he possesses
every facility that money and skill can
give for curing the sick. At any rate,
this will give our readers an opportunity
to consult this distinguished Boston
physician.

THE MCCARTHY CASE.
he Is Held BY Judge Gould and Gives Bail
in $500.

The case of Frank D. Mccarthy,
charged with the larceny of goods from
the Atkinson Furnishing Company,
came up in the Municipal court be-
fore Judge Gould yesterday morning.
Hon. Charles F. Libby took charge OF
the prosecution and Dennis J. Meaher,
Esq, appeared for the defendant.
The witnesses for the state were
Officers Sterling and Pickett, who testi-
fed to finding the goods in Mccarthy IS
house, and Fred R. harrington and Geo.
II. Marden, of the Atkinson company.
Mr.. harrington, manager of the mems
furnishing department, described how
the cash and credit transactions are kept.
Every clerk selling goods sends a slip to
the office with the articles, lot number,
amount paid and the clerks initial.
Credit sales have to be approved by the
manager. The boxes in which the goods
were found in McCarthy's possession
were identified as being similar to others
brought from the company's stock into
the court room; the shirts, socks and
shoes correspondent to samples from the
store. He further stated that in looking
over McCarthy's account with the firm
only one tie was charged to him and no
record of any cash or credit sale to him
was found for the articles displayed in
court as stolen goods.
Frank D. Mccarthy, the defendant,
testified that he was % years old and had
worked as a clerk in various Portland
stores for ten years. He began working
for the Atkinson Company in March
1892 and left the concern last month.
The defendant then took the various
articles taken from his house, which
were alleged to, have been stolen from
the Atkinson company, and identified
them all. Some he said he bought from
the company, others he took from his
own store where he was in business on
Middle street. There was one pair of
gloves which he had never seen. His
testimony was very positive, and a de-
NAL of the charges against him.
Mrs. Mccarthy, wife of the defendant,
testified that some of the goods had
been in the house for two or three years
since her husband was in business for
himself.
F. j. Young, former clerk, said that
Mccarthy had bought the boots from
him and paid him cash.
Other witnesses for the defence were
McCarthy's brothers and BARLEY Curran.
The brothers testified that the defendant
had made them presents of the shirts
seen in the court room.
In rebuttal James A. Cnoney, the head
bookkeeper of the Atkinson company,
testified that he had looked over the
cash slips, and found only one, No. 6,
shirt sold to the defendant, and that all
slips are kept in his care. Both sides
informed the court that their case was
in.
Judge Gould found probable cause
and ordered Mccarthy held in the sum
of $500. Bail was furnished.

grounds, 100000 for possible repairs
and new constructions during the con-
tinuance of the fair, 100000 for the
expenses of administration for six
months, and $2,50o,0O0 to be refunded
to the United States government foa
1000, 900 souvenir silver half-do1lars, a
total of $11, 100000. On the basis OF
these estimates, there would, it will be
seen, remain sum of S3, 500, 900 after
paying the liabilities outside of the
amount due to stockholders and the
city of Chicago. The aforementioned
liabilities amount in round numbers to
s., 900, 900 on capital stock and 81, 600, 00e
on city bonds, total of $10,e0o, 200, so
that if the figures should come out as
indicated the stockholders and the city
of Chicago would receive back about
one-third of their contributions.
From the estimates given Mr.. Head
!. concludes that it would seem to be
more than probable that the stock
holders of the exposition and the city
of Chicago, from the simple standpoint
of dollars and cents, will be losers to
the amount of six or seven millions OF
dollars as result of the exposition di-
rect, to which should doubtless be
added at least as much more for losses
and depreciation of property in the en-
terprises indirectly connected with the
exposition. He adds that it is likewise
probable that, should the attendance
at the fair be what is reasonably an
ticipated, an equal amount Of money
may be gained by the citizens, al
though not by the same people, as a
rule, who are the subscribers to the
stock. The gains will be largely by
the proprietors of hotels. boarding
houses, restaurants, saloons, newspa-
pers and places of amusement, and by
the various people and corporations
engaged in the business of transporta-
tion.-Bradstreet's

POINT OF PINES.
Gen. Neal Dow at the Great Temperance
Meeting.

Fhe bright, smiling skies and hot air
of Tuesday morning helped to swell, the
audience at the Point of Pines in the
afternoon. The broad front piazza held
good audience when the song service
began at 2.30. Chairman James HI.
Roberts, treasurer of the national divis-
ion of the Sons of Temperance of North
America, presided.
Gen. Neal Dow, the young old man,
bright and energetic in his almost go
years, a gray haired, war stained veteran
with lots of old fire yet left, was cheered
and given the Chautauquan salute as he
arose to make his address. He spoke of
Massachusetts, in the temperance cause
and said her people were giving their
sons and brothers as a sacrifice to strong
drink. Then he turned quickly to the
chairman and asked: "Are there any
reporters here?" When answered in the
affirmative he said !: swell, want you
reporters to put this down. A million
dollars would pay for all the liquor that
is Struggled into Maine. Her pro rata
share Of what the United States spends
would DE wv, UUU, UUU."
Gen. Dow drew on his vast fund of tenn
perance information to convince and en-
tertain his hearers and seemed to take
great delight in giving the old Bay State
hit straight from the shoulder" on
the cold water question. AS he spoke
the old man eloquently stood slightly
STOPPING under his weight of years, but
| with a little fan held in his hand he
| stepped from side to side of the table
and his gestures and voice were vigorous.
He said the people who voted were to the
| liquor dealers but like farmers oxen.
When they got through their blowing,
when they had carried their election
their oxen could go to grass for aught
they cared
The rumsellers are united. They
are not SO many as we are, but they pull
together, while we go like team of
Kamschatka dogs. These public policies
are to be determined by the ballot box
Ii we want sound money, that comes
through the ballot box If we want in
| f1ated currency and silver coin not
worth its face, that comes through the
ballot box too. If we want free trade. if
we want to send all our money abroad
| and hire foreigners to do our work. we
can get it through the ballot box,n CON
tinued the speaker.
"The liquor traffic exists by the per-
mission of the membership of The
churches. When they say go and vote
go, it will go, and not BEFORE" were
among his closing words. Boston
