Neuralgia and nervousness are fearfully
prevalent. There is no more painful
disease than neuralgia. 1t indicates a
diseased state of nerves and blood and
the most terrible suffering is often
present.
Most every body is nervous, and this is
more dangerous than most people think,
for, as in the case of the well-known S.
w. Anderson, ESQ.,, of Warren. Mass,
it is very liable to lead to nervous pros
tration and paralysis, if not cured. He
writes as follows about his wonderful
recovery:
"Some time ago I was afflicted with
nervousness and neuralgia. The pains
/ suffered were frightful. They com
menced in my leg and arm and then
went to my head and face. Finally |
had paralytic shock on my right side
which laid rae up completely.

agony from neuralgia and was nearly
dead with pain. l took everything [
ever heard of but got no better. | con-
sultedsfour doctors but they did me no
good. They said there was nothing but
morphine pills that would help me.
I took them tor nearly year and was
no better but began to get even worse.

Mass, and went there to see him. He
said he could cure me in one week.

1t is indeed treat to learn that Man

These chairs are of maple and with
curved seats of maroon leather and

those used at the Grand Opera in Bos-

MUSIC AND DRAMA,
The Two Sisters.

Denman Thompson's and George Ry-
der's drama of "The Two Sisters" drew
an excellent audience to Portland theatre
last night.
Several new faces are noticed in the
cast and some new business" has been
introduced. Miss Henrietta Lee and
Miss Eshel NARROW made a pleasing i'm
preston as the Howard sisters. and the
former sweetly rendered a song with
mandolin accompaniment Mr.. Barker's
"Sile Griffin" was as funny as ever and
his fine bone playing again took the au
dience. Mr.. Rayman, Mr.. Lee, Mr.. Gray
and Miss Sowe all gave excellent por-
trayals of their roles and the songs of
Mr.. Martin and Miss Wells and the
rendered "The Two Sisters" is evident
ly bound for another run of public fav-
or. The curtain was called at the end
of the second and third acts.
My Partner.
Next Monday and Tuesday Mr.. Louis
Aldrich will appear at Portland Theatre
in his great characterization OF Joe
Saunders in My Partner" The Boston
Journal says that Mr.. Aldrich has played
the character of Joe Saunders so often
that one might say he could "read the
part backwards" but nevertheless his
performance of last evening lost none Of
it's interest because it was hut repeui-
ton of former successes, for it was the
same pains.aklng endeavor which has
marked his previous efforts, and evoked
from both audiences well merited and
unsuinted applause. For the interpreta-
ton of the piece Mr.. Aidrich has gath
cred around him an excellent company,
including Messrs. Wright Hunting ton,
Theodore Hamilton, Frank kendrick,
Frank Riddell, Miss May Hosmer, Miss
Florida Kingsley and Miss Ada Kreueer.
The Danger Signal
De Miles "The Danger Signal" will be
presented at Portland Theatre next We'd
nesday and Thursday. While it has a
beautiful love story the realistic scenes
are in the shape of pictures of the rail,
and include monster locomotive made
of steel and iron, from models furnished
by the Baldwin locomotive works, a
freight train, cyclone rotary snow pillow
and the great effect of an express train
$50 feet long, 10 feet high crossing the
stage at the rate of so miles an hour
Realism pleases the masses. 1t not only
excites their love for dramatic suspense
and kindles more interest in the play,
but also shows to what perfection the
incidents and scenes of an exciting story
can be placed upon the stage.

The finals in doubles of the State Tennis
Tournament at the Athletic clubs court,
yesterdayssafternoon, were played between
Woodman and DANA both champions of the
state, and Fox and Fuller, the two younger
players, who have shown such good work
during the week, especially Fuller who won
from Champion Dana in singles the day be-
fore.
AT the first of the long contest there were
good indications that the champions might
be beaten if they didn't play their prettiest
and liveliest, and best, and till the end
there was no Certainty Jas to the final re-
suit.
Fox and Fuller won the first set easily,
6-1 The next set went the other way 81
Dana's work being very effective. He won
the same with simply four serves. The
third set went to Fox and Fuller and had
it not been the final match they would
thereby have won but the three sets out Of
five rule saved the champions who won the
next two sets and the mattel. The.l was
douces set twelve games being played. The
match required two hours. All four men
played brilliantly and not one failed to
arouse frequent applause. The superior
steadiness of the older players told as the
aDd arnroao hed The score.

At least 400 people were present and
stayed throughout the match despite the
decidedly cold.weather.
The finals in singles will be played off to-
morrow between Phil Dana of Westbrook
who beat O'Brien and Fuller who beat
Champion F. W. Dana. 1t cannot fail to be
a very exciting contest and splendid ex-
hibition of tennis. Both contestants for
the championship are young men probably
less than twenty-one yet both have shown
remarkable ability as well7as strength and
endurance. Dana is a Bowdoin man and
well known as astennis player here in the
college tournament last spring. He has
acquired his physical development at Bowd-
DIN and really represents the college while
Fuller has acquired his at the Athletic club
gymnasium, is High school student and
really represents the Portland Athletic
club.ss Atsleast thissis the way the two men
are regarded by the spectators.
The game begins at p. m. The court
will be closed tomorrow forenoon so that it
will be the best of condition for the after
noon.

AN EXTREME VIEW OF THE CASE
But let US take an extreme view
Of the case and 60 over the whole
farce Of so-called proof before the
com mittee, and assume that every
case where witness undertakes
to give guess or suspicion, says
for instance where a witness un-I
dertakes to say that at certain
place, like the 22nd district of
Knox county or the Fifth ward
of Knoxville, where w. f. Yardley,
swears that he knows nothing, but
believes that Gibson workers
bought 20 votes, take all such from
all the proof and in this view of
the case the whole vote for Gibson
bught in question by the affidavits
before the committee would only
aggregate. 430.
Now take from this HOuk's
admitted repeaters in the
Seventh ward of Knoxville. 200
And it would only cut Glib

Leaving him in any event by the

Gibson beat Mr.. Houk 2,246 in the
district and of the 1888 majorit
Houk claimed in Khexville on TIL
face of the re urns 831 Of these
were in the Seventh word of Knox
vile.
MIR. Houk's vote alone in Knox
vile exceeds the whole republican
vote for Harrison in 1888 before the
DOrtch and poll tax law by l0i. ard
exceeds the republican vote OF 1892
by l,.26. Houks alleged majority
in Knoxville was $50 more than
Harrison's entire vote in the city
in 1892. These figure show clearly
that Gibson's vote of S46 in the city
of Knoxville in the primary was a
good honest vote and but for dis
honesty perpetrated against him
he would have carried the city
and county by ut least 500 majority
and but tor swapping OF the ballot
boxes at noon and the large num-
Der OF democratic votes cast for
Mr.. Houk, Gibson's majority in the
county would have been not less
than 1000, and his majority in the
congressional district not lis than
5000.

case will convince fair minded
republicans who the republican
nominee for congress is in this dis

FOR GOVERNOR.

1t is not too early to begin to con-
slider the nomination OF a suitable
man for governor on the republic
cin ticket. There are several good
Len mentioned who have received
the Endorsement of some cOuntie s
or prominent friends. Maj. ID. M,
Coffman, a newspaper man of prom
inence and commanding appear
ance, is Endorsed by two counties
MIR. CLEARWATER is being advocated
by friends in the Isl congressional
dirtrict. ii. Clay Evans is being
urged to make the race, and A. M.
Hughes. Jr., presents the name of
Hon. j. W. Barker, chairman of
the state executive committee
with the assurance that he is GER
tain to be nominated. .
There are several points to con-
slider in the selection of candi-
date for governor, aud they should
be considered very carefully. We
want to make winning fight and
should consider the availability of
every man and then choose the
one who will poll the largest num-
Der of votes. The private ambition
of no one candidate should for
one moment be taken into consid-
Grafton.
Mr.. Hughes seems to be very
much in earnest in his desire to
have Mr.. Baker nominated, so
much 50 that one naturally enquir-
es why this thusness. Mr.. Baker
is a good republican and has done
some fine work for the party, but
why does Mr.. Hughes insist so
streneously on the fact that he will
surely be nominated? Has Arc h
a desire to try his hand as chair
man of the State Executive
Committee, or is there another ak
to grind not yet apparent?
There are several reasons why
Mr.. Baker will not be the nominee
of the republican party for gov.
ernor this year, and those who
urge him will find themselves very
much sat upon in the convention.
The next one will not be a Houk
convention. The friends of the
second district congressman will
be cordially received, but the mass
es,as well as the leaders, will not sit
idly by and see Mr.. HOuk dictate
the nominee for governor even il
that man is so good republican as
J. w. Baker. Mr.. Hughes but
represents the views of Mr.. Houk
in this matter, and Jack Baker
ought to be too good politician
to pull chestnuts out of the fire for
any one.

SOME LESSONS FROM THE POLLARD
BRECklNRlDE TRIAL.

1t Is with sigh of infinite relief
that we write finis over against the
record of crime, hypocrisy and pol
luton which has been dragging its
fulsome slime through our courts
and through our press for the past
six weeks.
Nor is that feeling of relief due
to the fact that Colonel Breckin-
ridge has been found guilty. He
did not need the verdict of twelve
men to declare him guilty. His
Ieentence had boen pronounced by
oer a more unmistakable
voice. Out Of his own mouth the
mind and conscience Of the Ameri-
can people had judged him, and
though the jury had unanimously
acquitted, that judgment could not
have been reversed.
1t is without doubt a cause for
profound thankfulness that the
jurors spoke so clear and swift a
sentence; that the guilty man re-
ceives condemnation at the court
of Justice as well as at the tribunal
of public opinion, but our chief
cause for rejoicing to-day lies. in
the fact that any verdict has been
pronounced; that the trial is ended;
that this mass of moral corruption
can no longer flaunt its insistent
existence in the sight of high
heaven; that being of earth, earthly;
of death, deathly; of putrefaction,
putrid, it may at last be cousighed
to its only true environment, the
charnal house of oblivion.
We shall not undertake to review
the disgusting details of the case
We speak to constituency which
does not come under Judge Brad
ley's sweeping indictment against
human "buzzards." The Union
Signal would have its readers "of
too pure eyes to behold iniquity,"
save as the Son of Man baheld it,
that through beholding, he
might redeem from it. If there
were in this case no lessons of
value to US in our work "for God
and Home and Humanity" we
surely should not touch upon it.
Because we believe there are such
lessons we dare the "descent into
Hades," and strange to say, the
lessons we find are chiefly of en-
couragement and cheer. First, we
learn that there is sure growth
in the public mind regarding the
one moral standard for men and
women. Whatever may be ones
individual opinion as to the con-
duct of the associated press in
sending the details of this case
broadcast over the land, there can
be but one opinion as to the man
ner in which those details have
neen received.
The American people almost to
unit have condemned Colonel
Breckinridge's defence as un-
worthy of manhood. 1t is not the
woman of our nation alone who
have denounced Colonel Thomp-
sons detestable assumption that
the defendant was on trial for a
universal sin. The men, not

SOME people think IA newspaper
can be run on wind. They want its
support but never for a moment do
they stop and think that il costs
money to run a paper. We have
about quit the charity business.
Newspapers cost money and it costs
money to run them. If a man

code which has condoned In the
one what 1t has condemned In the
other. Men more than women,
have been wronged by the damna-
BILE theory Of wild oats sowing.
BY just so much as sin has been
made easy for them have they lost
their chance Of attaining righteous
ness. by just SO much as sin has
been made hard tor woman her
birthright Of Lurity has been made
more secure. Therefore when the
sinful man is cast without the
camp even more pronouncedly
than is the sinful woman, il mt ans
the bringing in Of better hope
for the world. 1t means that when
it is once understood that men and
women sink to the same level of
degradation it will be demanded
that they rise to the same height
of purity.
That whlte-haired man going out
of the court room friendless and
alone-as so many women have
gone out of like places marked
the beginning of new era in the
worlds redemption. Now Is the
salvation of humanity nearer than
We had believed.
Our last lesson has been not only
the Exceeding sinfulness' but the
exceeding misery of sin to the sin
ner. Is any woman likely to fol-
low Madeline P.llard's example
through envy of her happiness?
Is any man likely to find in Col.
BreckiDridge's life his ideal of
what makes life worth liveing?
If there be nothing else written all
over this lurid record of two sinful
lives it is the old and yet in the
depth of its devine philosophy
the ever new nessageA"The ways
of sin is death" Death to sin and
death to happiness, death to hope
death to love, death to the highest
possibilities of life here and here
after. Was there ever an exam
of higher power more wantonly
squandered And what have
been the results? Not happiness,
but such misery, such shame, such
reproach, such confusion, such beg
carly equiv0cations and dastardly
hyp0cracies as the very devil who
inspired could almost pity.
Verify "The way OF the trans
gressor is hard" and 1t grows hard
er As men know more clearly the
SWAY of the Lord" for body, mind
and soul; in the individual and in
society as who e. The Christian
ity Of the day to come will make
it4an easy thing for truly repent
ant sinner to come back to God
and truth; but for those who faunt
their brazen immortality and put
resent hypocrisy in the face Of
the world there shall be found "no
place for repentance"
There are other minor lessons to
be gathered from this trial. 70 us
these three are the pivotal ones,
and we rejoice that they are
brought out in such unmis,akable
colors. Surely, however deep the
depth of depravity revealed by this
trial, there is hope for the race.
We have long known that "a curse
from the heart of wOmanhod is
very bitter and salt and good" but
when that curse shall be increased
in volume and intensity by one
equally "bitter and salt and goods
yelling up from the heart of man
hood and directed against all false
and debasing moral standards
against all impurity and unright-
eousness every-where-then the
end of the curse shall be forever
attained; and in the light of the
new city descending out of Heav-
en- from God" "every curse shall be
no more."-Union Signal.
