Mum Der two of Famous Paintings OF
the Worlde. has been received and can
now be obtained at the PRESS portfolio
department, or by mail as usual. Like
the first mum her of tn is series, number

CANT workmanship. The first engraving
is reproduction of the Landing of
Columbus" by Ivan AivazovsKy, the
Russian artist. The original was on ex-
hibition at the Worlds Fair. Other
reproductions of Worlds Fair paintings

Return from the Festival" ny Forum
ski. 1.-The Forgotten Errand" by Splitter,
and 9At the Death" by Busson.
Like it's predecessors, number three of
America Photographed" is very popu-
lar number. The deamnd for it mas been
very large, but our experience with the
first two numbers was such that sup
ply sufficient to fill all demands was
received the start. We have the first
three numbers in stock, and while we
shall probably be able to furnish COM
plete sets at any time as far as issued,
wesadvise all to secure the numbers as
they are issued to avoid any delays.
We have on hand all four parts of the
Panorama of the Worlds Fair" Part
four, which came last night, is made es-
pecially interesting by the pictures it
contains of many of the odd and pic
turesque persons who were seen on the
Midway. There are the Waterman in
old Vienna with his pike and lantern,
and the good looking German bandmas-
ter. The French cider girls, the Hunga-
Ran dancers and the dancers from Cey-
Ion are among the subjects of the photo
graphs, and there are also the Javanese
fiddler, the Scoth bagpipe player, and the
Spanish musician. The pictures include
those of a number of the members of
the Congress of Beauty, and many 9th
ers of the Midway people. The full
page pictures give a general view of the
Plaisanee and the interior of the electri-
cal building.
Part four of the "Holy Land Photo
graphed" is the last arrival in this series.
This number deals with the route from
Jericho to Sinai and the illustrations are
an improvement over the first mum bers
as the subjects dealt with allow of bet
ter work We can furnish from one to
four in this series.

MIR. Dingley for the Court of st. James.
We find the following letter in the
Pennington Chronicle:
Mr.. Editor:-The only papers of note
that attempted to " sit down. upon the
announcement Of my candidacy for
Congress were the Boston Herald and
Portland PRESS. I did not care for the
Herald as it is asDemocratic paper, though
sailing under the independent flag.
In fact want nothing to do with any
paper, or any man, masqueradlng under
false colors. The PRESS. however,
being an influential Republican journal
and one that we all admire, / thought
it would do no harm to remind that
paper that it had better devote it's ener-
gies to increasing the rather small Re-
publican majority in the First district
and let the Second district take care of
itself Hence my letter in 1.-The Evening
Express, repu blished in your last Issue.
From what 1 know Of Mr.. Dingley 1
am satisfied that he would scorn any
aid or comfort offered by the Herald,
fayorably known in the Second district
to need the championship of the Port
land PRESS.
This is no fight against Mr.. Dingley
personally, but rather against the prac-
tice of keeping the same man in Con-
gress Tor nearly lifetime l have no
desire to pick a quarrel with the Port
land PRESS. want to be on tine best
of terms with that and every other
Repu blican paper. The chief aim of all
true Republicans should be to maintain
the true principles of the party which
destroyed slavery. saved the Union and
made the American. Nation one of the
grandest powers of earth. Then let us
all boom Thomas B. Reed for the Presi-
dency, and with Nelson Dingley, Jr., as
Ambassador to the Court of st. james,
the smaller try" in the First and Sec
ond districts. would have better chance
to climb.

THE BATH IRON WORKS.
If They Go Anywhere 1t Will Be Near New
York.

1t is currently reported that the man
agement of the Bath Iron Works have
stated that if the Works should leave
Bath it will be to locate near New York,
where the work of repairing can be OBJ
tanned in frequent and large jobs. IT the
Wilson bill should pass it would make
marine engines free, and if the Fithian
bill, it would make free ships, and the
passage of both would destroy the Bath
plant for ship building. Then they
would have TO depend in great measure
on the business of repairing.

ADVANCES IN SCIENCE.
The Natural Function of Diges-
ton at last Perfectly Initiated.

We cannot 60 beyond certain point III lmlta-
ton of natures handiwork We have never
been able to give life to artificial eyes, limbs
etc.
We can initiate processes-when we under
stand them. Till a short time ago scientists
thought that the stomach digested all our food.
Under this erroneous impression pepsm was
always prescribed for indigestion
Now we know positively that the stomach
digests only albumenous foods meat. eggs,
cheese, etc., and that pepsin only attacks al
bumens.
Scientists discovered the ferments and the
process by which starch (our most important
food) is digested, and Paskola was the result OF
their discoveries.
To aid aweak digestion starch food must be
cooked and dgested before it enters the mouth.
The best way of doing this is embodied in Pas
kola.
The free vegetable ferments in Paskola aid
in the digestion of other foods and relieve all
symptoms Of indigestion almost Immediately.
Paskola is not a medicine but simply pure
natural starch food naturally pre-digested. II

temporary relief

and crew from talking. Of course there
must be some definite purpose in conceal
ing the advices brought by the Corwin.
What is it? We get some linking of it
perhaps from the rumor that the Mohican
is being hurriedly fitted for sea at the
Mare Island navy yard and that her des-
tination is the Sandwich Islands The
inference is strong that the President is
withholding the advices brought by the
Corwin so that he may send new instruc-
ton to Willis without interference on
the part of Congress, and that the Cor
win is not to be released until the Mohi-
can has sailed with these instructions,
and interference by Congress is rendered
impossible. This is an assumption,
to be sure, that reflects great dis
credit on the administration, but it
is in keeping with it's previous
performances IN this matter. Secretary
Gresham's letter in favor of the
restoration of the queen was not
given to the public or to Congress until
the vessel that carried Willis and the
letter was far at sea, and the restoration
programme beyond all possibility of re-
call. There were the same mystery and
concealment in regard to the supple
mental instructions which the Corwin
carried out. They were not revealed
until they were beyond the posi- bility of
recall. If, therefore the inference of Con-
gress and the people from the Corwin's
movements. and the hurried fitting out of
the Mohican is that the President is anx-
ions to send instructions to Willis before
Congress can express its opinion the
administration Is largely responsible for
1T. Throughout this business it's policy has
been to keep the people in the dark as
much as possible and to treat the ques-
ton as q purely personal matter with
which they had no concern, and the con-
cealmenG of the advices brought by the
Corwin indicates that that olicy has not
been abandoned.

WHY ALL THIS MysrERya

just before the arrival of the revenue
cutter Corwin despatch by the way of
New Zealand announced that Minister
Willis had demanded in the name of the
United States the abdication of the
Provisional government in favor of
Queen Lilioukalani. This occurrence if
it actually happened, must have taken
place while the Corwin was at Honolulu
and her officers must know whether the
Auckland dispatch is true or false.
They must know also if any outbreak
followed Willis's demand information
on these points is of great Importance
and interest to Congress and the American
people. Furthermore it is information
which the American Congress and the
American people have a right to. Why
is it kept back? Why is the Corwin kept
SO far from shore that nobody can board
her and communicate with the captain
or crew? And why does Mr. Gresham re-
fuse to confirm or deny the Auckland
despatch? Surely it cannot he expected
that the occurrences at Honolulu can be
kept permanently concealed A mail
steamer is due at San Francisco in a few
days, and neither the President nor the
Secretary of State has power to keep her
of the harbor or to prevent her officers

Gov. Brown Of Maryland asked the
legislature OF his State in his annual
message, to enact law authorizing
county authorities to set tramps and
vagabonds at work on the roads He
would have all such arrested upon ap-
pearance, tried, and if found guilty SEN
fenced, not to the jails or warehouses, but
to the custody of the sheriffs to work on
the highways under the direction of the
county commissioners. He argues that in
this way these tramps would not be a
source of expense to the community but
would more than earn their food and
lodging, anG the few clothes which they
would require. and more than enough
to pay for the cost of guar DIS and over
seers to keep them at work. He would
have the Migrants sentenced from Balti-
more turned over to the commissioners
of other counties for the time of their
sentence to be employed in the same way.

The sergeant-at-arms was able to drag
enough reluctant Democrats into the
House yesterday to constitute quorum,
and so Prof. Wilson got the long delayed
opportunity to fire off the tariff speech
with which he has been loaded for some
time past. Whether the quorum which
was obtained yesterday can be depended
on to put in an appearance from day to
day or whether it can only be relied up
on when the sergeant alarms is around
clothed with authority to capture and
imprison the lukewarm members is a
question which the future only can de-
eide. Certainly the performance of the
past week is not indicative of vast
amount of zeal for tariff reform.
