1t is the cause of more intense
suffering than all other skin diseases
combined.
Tender babies are among its most
numerous victims.
They are often born with it.
Most remedies and the best physi-
clans generally fail even to relieve.
If CUTICURA did no more than
cure Eczema, it would be entitled to
the gratitude of mankind.
1t not only cures but
A single application is often suffi-
cient to afford instant relief, permit

e Bangor, December u.-At the result of the
mental inoapacity of another Bangor
florist, very curious incident occurred on
the street here today. J. Fields Murray of
Waterville, the well known Maine caterer,
was hurrying along Broadway to meet some
business engagement when suddenly rope
was thrown over his head from behind him
and stout jerk followed. Whirling quick
ly, Mr.. Murray struck the throweraof the
lasso tremendous blow In the face, knock
ing him against tree. The air was imme-
diately filed with criss of murder, police,
robbery and other wild appeals for succor
from Mr.. Murry's assailant who proved to
be George B. Robinson. He had been known
for some time to be weak minded, but was
supposed to be entirely harmless. 1t seems
that Robinson imagined that he was being
pursued by a detective in the employ OF
florist, whom he considered his rival and
that the scheme was to assasslnate MIN.
Seeing Murray he Immediately decided that
the Waterville man was the delec tive and
nroceeded to lasso him in true western style.
Mr.. Murray expressed great regret at his
violent response to the florists good inten-
tion. and had the lassoer taken to the
rolice station. The board of municlpal
officers held consultation on Mr.. Robin
sons case this afternoon and decided to
commit him to the insane hospital tomor-
row. The unfortunate man comes of good
family. His great hobby for some time past
has been the organization Of a syndicate to
run an immense green house. to be known
as the Flowerville Floral Park, and he has
haunted City hall to get the mayor and
other officials to subscribe for stock and
become officers of his corporation.
