creasing popularity of The Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York, and
the extension of the benefits conferred
upon those fortunate enough to hold its
policies The assets now amount in the
aggregate to Sis6, 7o7, 6so.14, and the
liabilities to $16S, 755, 071.23. The surplus

possible future emergency amounts to
SIT, 952, 6os9 81 and isa sum which if
added to the enormous amount paid out

DEERING.

Saturday morning an electric car and
way to the paint shop, were ready to
start from the end of the electric line at
Morrill's Corner. Two boys were stand
ing near but the conductors attention
was not attracted to them in particular.
When the cars started one of the boys
made dive to get on the second car.
The conductor was on the opposite side
of the head car and so did not see him.
The boy missed his footing and fell I'M
der the wheels of the third car. They
passed over his arm and leg, breaking
and mangllng them both. The conductor
did not notice the occurrence and the
cars ran alongsfor some distance before
it was known that, anything was the
matter Meanwhile men standing near
had picked up the wounded boy and
carried him home He proved to be a
twelve years old son of Michael O'Con-
nor. living on Oak street in Deering.
Drs. Parker and Foster were called and
the broken limbs were set. In the after
noon the boy had come out from under
well, The particulars given above are
substantially the story told by both the
bows. No blame can possibly be attached
to any employe of the road.
The bids for the contract to build
sewers in Deering were opened Saturday,
but the contract will not be awarded
until the city government of Deering
meets tonight.

programme was the order. Rev. Matt S.
Hughes believes in Missionary as all
present will attest. The Haydn Quartette
here gave some of their best selections,
and if there are any who think the
Masons do not have the best there is,
they should attend one of their ANNALS.
Quite sensation was caused during
the SSEPlCOS Ill UuO SuuIGu
at Woodfords, yesterday, by the fainting
of Miss Hillman, lady aged 80 years.
She is very regular attendant at
church, often talking. Painting spells
like that of yesterday are not uncommon
to her, and are due probably to her adj
vaced age.

Boys and the Cigarette vice.


The use of cigarettes is not merely the
use of tobacco, it is vice by itself. In
reformatories where the cure of the
opium, alcohol and cigarette habits is a
business cigarette patients are not re
stricted from smoking cigars or pipes,
which are regarded as comparatively
harmless. The cigarette works special
evil of it's own which tobacco in other
forms does not effect. This evil result
may be due to drugs, or to the paper
wrappers, or to the fact that the smoke
of cigarettes is almost always inhaledinto
the lungs. while cigar smoke is rot.
AS to that, let the experts decide; about
the fact of the effect there is no doubt,
and no dearth of evidence. No other
form of tobacco eats into the will as
cigarettes do.
The adult man can carry off good
deal of poison of one kind or another
without disaster, aud his duty being
fixed and his will formed, he is usually
able to make his minor vices subservi-
emit to his more important obligations.
And so it happens that it is a matter
OF constant observation in clubs, and
wherever there are intelligent men who
allow thesmelves all the creature indul-
cences that they dare, that these eX-
perienced persons are constantly swear
ing Off cigarettes for longer or shorter
periods and smoking cigars instead. The
cigarette. fetter begins to gall, and they
fling it off. But young boys do not do
that. They have not discretion enough,
for one thing. and, for another, cigars
cost too much for them, and cannot be
smoked surreptitiously in a spare mo-
ment. 1t is the internal cheapness of the
cigarette and it's adaptlbility for con-
ceaIment that tempJs this school boys
caIlow intelligence. -Harper's Weekly.

DIR. Gordon's Speech at the Young
Democrats Banquet.

Democrats Banquet
To the Editor of the Press:
I notice an editorial paragraph in to-
days issue of the PRESS, wherein you
comment on some remarks said to have
been made by me at the banquet of the
Young Mems Democratic club
The quotations you make are without
one shadow of truth either in letter or
spirit. The first is the most arrant
nonsense. which I think the writer
would be unable to interpret. The last
would have been near the truth had it
read with free raw materials | believe
American man ufacturers can successful
ly compete in the markets of the world. "
I did say that one of the mem beers OF
one of the largest manufacturing estab-
lishments (of its,klnd) IN the world, told
me that the cost of manufacturing their
products was as great as in America,
that two Americans produced as much
as three of his. men, for which he paid
them more wages, and the only reason
the American manufacturer was unable
10 compete with them was the high
tariff on articles entering into the pro-
,ess of manufacture, adding $50 long as
rou people keep the tariff we shall con-
troll the markets. / can also cite other
similar cases.

Life or Death?

1t is Of vital Importance that it should be
understood by persons whose kidneys are III
active, that this condition of things is finally
inductive of a state of the organs where life
hangs in the balance. Bright's disease, dia-
betes, albuminuria are all diseases OF a very
obstinate character in their mature stage, and
all have fatal tendency. They often battle
the most practised medical skill, and the most
approved remedies of materia medlca. But
opposed at the outset-that is to say, when the
kidneys begin to discharge their functions IN
sctively-with Hostetter's Stomach BitterS, the
dangerous tendency is checked. Very useful,

city, several seasons ago. An exchange
says:
Mr.. Arthur Beresford-we may call
him the basso ''par excellence"
wildered the audience by the extraordi-
uary power and mellowness of his voice.
The rendition of his songs possesses an
exquisitely pure and artistic quality, and
a magnetic power conveys his inspira-
lions and feelings to his audience. The
compass of his voice is remarkable.

gress Street.

The statement in Sunday paper yes
terday that Mayor Baxter had acquired
an additional portion of real estate ON
that part of Congress street known as
the Row, and would erect handsome
brick block in the spring, was incorrect
While Mr.. Baxter owns much of the
property needed for the site of such
block, he has not acquired all, although
negotiations have been going on for some
time with the owners of the portion re-
ouired. Whenever they consent to sell it
is probable that he will erect block
which will be a great improvement to
that portion of Congress street.
