ing liquor without a license.
The most interesting case before the

Skowhegan, who was charged with aiding
in the sale of lottery tickets by using the
United States mail for the lottery BUSINESS.
Burrill heard the reading of the complaint
and loaded nolO contcndere.
His attorney, Judge W. G. PhilbroOk
of Waterville, briefly stated the case to the
court 1t seems that Mr.. Burrill is we'll
known and highly respected citizen OF
Skowhcgan, where he is in the real estate
business. One day man named Rich,
who is cripple and unable to read ol
write, came into the office and asked
Burrill to write letter for him. Rich
told Burrill that he had sold lottery tick,
cts for some time, but that some of his
customers questioned the validity of his
tickets He wanted Burrill to write to
the banks, whose names were printed on
the back of every ticket, and see if they
would redeem the tickets, rs it was claimed
they would. 49,
BurrIl was arrested for.. writing this lei
ter, to which he signed his own name, and
the judge sentenced him to pay fine OF

4 Gross Act Of Cruelty.

why should we be cruel to ourselves? II is
a piece of senseless inhumanity, for instance
for any one Of us TO inflict upon his bowels
and stomach the convulsiye, gripping, violent
action. OF a drastic cathartic. Many people
enamored of pills, powders and potions are
continually doing this. They are only "keep-
ing up the agony" pcrpetuating the distur-
bance by this foolish course. Why don't they
take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and get
thoroughly and promptly set right? This sn-
preme laxative never gripes, never produces
violent effects of any sort. Yet IT is very eff
fective and brings about permanent results.
For liver complaint, dyspepsia. nervousness,
lack of vitality, rheumatic and kidney COM
plants. it is ominently serviceable. In old
age and to accelerate convalescence IL is
strongly to be commended. Use IL for malaria.

Nothing Yet Accomplished.

Washington, Dec. 1l.-In the Senate,
Lodge introduced bill To authorize Rear
Admiral Luce to accept decoration from
the King of Spain. PETER introduced
(by request) several bills among them one
TO prevent unlawful restraint on employees

of portion of Indian territory. Platt
gave notice that he would speak on
Berry's bill, tomorrow.
Morrill, addressed the Senate on "some
marvellous senatorial bills and quack
panaceas for real and imaginary griev-
ances" At the conclusion of Morrill,
speech various financial bills Were ad-
versely reported and Were indefinitely post
poned. The bill granting a pension to
the widow of the late Gen. \. =. Banks
was favorably reported.
At , PM. the Nicaragua canal bill was
taken up and Dolph made a speech in ad-
vocacy of it.
Sherman remarked that all the argu-
ments which could be made ON the sub
ject of the Nicaraguan canal had already
been made. There was but one question,
he said, that he had any trouble about
and that was how to dispose of the just
claims of the Maritime Canal Co. for work
already done. He was not entirely satisfied
with the provisions of the bill on that
subject His own opinion was that the
company was entitled only to the money
actually expended by It.
The bill was laid aside without action,
and a message from the President touch
ing the alleged Armenian atrocities WAS
read and referred to the committee on
foreign relations. The Senate, after an
executive session. adjourned.

San Diego Union: Two little BROTH
ers, aged and IL years, named Ulrich,
living on University Heights, are trying
to become acquainted with each other,
but they find it hard work, as the elder
speaks only German and the younger
only English. This state of affairs was
explained by the elder. Wilhelm, to a
reporter who happened to notice the
boys gestioulating. Wilhelm said he
was left at home in Schleswig- Holstein
when he was two years old. his parents
coming to the United States. He lived
with his aunt and never learned any
thing bat Plattdeutch. His little
brother, Franz, was born in the
United States, and learned to speak
English. his parents speaking English
in his presence in ordsr to make q good
American citizen of him.
A few weeks ago the parents, though
very poor, sent most OF their savings to
the old home, and wrote to the aunt to
send their boy to San Francisco, where
the mother was working. The aunt Sc
cured the services of some good friend
speaking English, and lie made a sign
ON a square placsrd reading as follows:
Please see this boy safely through to
San Francisco" This was tied around
the boys neck, and the little fellow
started alone on his journey of over
5000 miles. He reached San Francisco
without mishap. not even being hungry
or thirsty. Everybody, he said, read
the card and offered him things
to eat, and on the way out he learned
such words as ticket" "dinner" and
you bet"
At San Francisco he stepped off the
train into mis- mothers arms. AS
quickly as she could she came to San
Diego, arriving last Sunday night, when
there was joyful reunion. Then it was
that Wilhelm first saw his young Amer
lean brother, and WAS surprised that he
could not understand him. Wilhelm is
making great strides in English, how
ever, and in a month or two will be able
to say whatever he Ikea. He has al
ready entered the public school, and has
the making OF sturdy American citi-
zen.

Five hundred beautiful illustrations
will appear in Glimpses of America be-
fore the series is completed. So artistic
are these views that two weli-knoWn
artists of this city are securing sets from
the HERALD with the design of keeping
them in their studios for reference. The
work is at once graphic history OF this
country and great art gallery of its
famous scenery. The cameragraphs. OF
which eight will appear in the series,
are new to every body. No artificial
paint or coloring was used in the pro-
duction of the beautiful tints, which
show go clearly. They are wholly the
product of the SUMS rays. The discovery
of the cameragraph will rank among the
great achievements of the nineteenth
century. No one who is interested in
scientific progress should fail to secure a
copy of the handiwork OF this latest
marvellous discovery. Portfolios l to IL
are ready for distribution at the HERALD
