1T WAS DR.. FITZGERALD.
Who Was the Doctor Charged With At
tempting Suicide on Railroad Train.

Last Mondays Bangor papers reported
that a prominent specialist physician tried
to commit suicide ION train coming into
that city on Saturday. The trainnen state
that they found him in the toilet room with
towel about his head and strong odor of
hloral about Ld that he said Portland
doctor had told him he had a cancer, and
that he should put bullet through his
head.
A dispatch from Bangor TO Boston yesrer-
day stated that DR.. Orrin Fitzgerald, pro-
prietor of the Medical Home ,Allston. Mass,
and of Colonial Hall, Tyngsboro, Mass. was
very i'll at the home ofshis father in Dexter.
He has been in poor health for some time,
owing to oyerwork. The doctor had intend
ed to close up his business in Massachusetts,
and take up his abode in Dexter, where
his fine residence has been SO long vacant.
Two doctors have been working over him
since his return to Dexter, Saturday eve
ming, and they say that there is little chance
for his recovery.
Profound secrecy is observed as to the
cause of his illness, but little doubt is en-
tertained that ii is due to his sensational
attempt to end Lis life on the train Satur-
day, although the family assert that the
rumors regarding his attempted suicide are
not correct.

What Mr.. Mills Thinks of Portland

Rev. B Fay Mills was briefly inter-
viewed in behalf of the PRESS yester-
day. Mr.. Mills is very pleasant gentle
man to meet. He is ready talker off as
well as on the platform, and it may be
said in passing that he is an old news
paper man.
From here Mr.. Mills will go to Licking
ton, KY, where series of meetings will
be held. He is highly plesaed with
Portland and its people, and spoke of
the solidity of character he found here.
He said that there had been a manifesto
ton of Christian unity and Christian
spirit here that has been very pleasant
for him to see. He referred to the brief
address delivered by Rev. DR.. Fem, in
the morning. and said that DR.. Fem is
right, the people of Portland are anthra-
cite, and not free burning coal, hard to
kindle, but then the spiritual fire will
burn long time. He said that he found
here people easy to preach to, quick
and intelligent and deeply in earnest.
He said he never allowed himself to
estimate results, hut in this case be-
Heved that they will be permanent. Let
tiers received from other sections of the
state indicate that the religious interest
kiudled here has spread outside. He
thought that the churches in all the
cities and towns around Portland will
find that they have been blessed as well
as those IN this city.
Il believe" said Mr.. Mills. that God
owns the world, and that he has right
to the people. l think we have perfect
right to expect great things of Cod"
Mr.. Mills said that he has been much
pleased with his audiences, and that it
has seemed to him that the interest
taken in the meetings has extended to
all classes. He referred in a pleasant
way to the. reports of his sermons pub

ions, Hon. IL. P. Frank, appearing for the
petitioners. The officers stated that the
men were noisy and were requested to be
quiet. They refused and Were then COM
PEELED dc as they were told. The committee
took no action but held the case under ad-

Weak Ner1 1@eS5

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, inn
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king Of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.
