Maine Bible Society.

The Bible Society of Maine will, on
Sunday evening next, celebrate it's s5th
anniversary at the First Parish church.
The sermon will be delivered by Rev. G.
W. Parsons, d. D., of the Chestnut street
Methodist church. This society for all
these years has pursued "the even tenor
of its way" distributing Bibles through
out the state, and in many Instances
without money and without price, 1t
is enabled by its agents to reach many
that are not reached in any other way.
They are doing good work quietly and
unostentatiously, but all this work in
order to be successfully carried on re-
quires money. 1t is propos sed at the meet
ing Sunday evening to take up contri-
button to increase its funds and we trust
our citizens will cheerfully and generous
ly contribute of their abundance to the
end that the good work shall go on

Reception at Pleasantdale.

The Methodist parsonage at Pleasant
dale was the centre Of very pleasant
gathering Monday evenings, May goth
and 9th, as a token of the pleasure which
was felt by the church and neighbors of
Rev W S. Jones and wife at their return
to this charge for another year The salts
faction evidenced itself in an address of
welcome by Mr.. E. G. Reynolds and Rev.
T. W. Smith, to which Mr.. Jones responded
in appreciative terms. After being re-
galed with cake and ice cream, singing
and mutual chat, the parties left, and
everybody seemed well pleased None
more SO than the pastor and wife, who,
in addition to the words of cheer and
encouragement, found themselves the
owners of barrel of -four and other ar
ticles for their use, left by their generous
friends.
Among those present were Rev. A. Tur-
ner and wife, Rev. +. W. Smith and wife
who added much to the joyfulness of the
occasion.

SUPERIOR COURT.
Before Judge Bonney.

Tuesday Guild VS.. The Ire
mont Real Estate Co. The plaintiff
proprietors of an advertising agency in
Boston, made a contract with one Edward
Meserve acting superintendent of the de-
fendant company at their Office in Bos-
ton, for advertising space in twenty four
newspapers in Massachusetts for a year
for the sum of $1760 After two or three
months the contract was cancelled at the
request ofTthe- superintendent. This suit
is to recover 1856 for the amount of ad-
vertising actually done.
The defendant company put in no testi-
mony, but relied upon the inability of
the plaintiff to show that Meserve the
acting superintendent, had authority to
make the contract. Decision for the
plaintiff for the amount claimed

FALSE DIALECT.
Our Negro Stories Are Declared to Be All
Wrong.

wrong.
The flood of negro talk that has dis
colored our recent literature is not dia-
lect. 1t consists chiefly of the vulgarism,
the mispronunciation and misuse of
words that come of a lack of education
and polite association. Hardly any of it
is even provincialism, and still less is
the survival of old forms and usages
Nor is it due in any appreciable degree
to locality. In fact, it arises from con-
dition almost wholly and is merely the
lingo of our lowest classes, with small
distinction on account of race and color.
1t is kitchen talk, as distinguished
from that of the parlor, and, although it
may occasionally offer us a word or
phrase having some pathological or his
torical interest, it does not approach the
dignity of a dialect The bad grammar
of illiterate ignorance, without rule or
art, it even lacks the consistency in er
ror with which some of our writers seek
to invest it, for it recognizes no prece-
dent and follows no analogy.
And yet the real lingo is not half SO
bad as it is represented in print, where
it is sought to set it before us phonet-
ically. 1t is obvious that the ordinary
speech of any of our white communities
would look very much like jargon if
subjected to the same phonetic process.
In our common conversation very few
of us are purists, and precision is gen.
orally regarded as affected and preten-
tious. -William G. Elan in Lippin-

VERY COSTLY.

In many things which make life burden
some, it is not merely the discomforts we
feel, but the loss of time and money.
Among minor accidents, none are more
liable to cause this than sprain. Very
many serious cases are known that have
cost lifetime of misery and very much in
time and money. Much of this is owing
to neglect. st. Jacobs Oil, used promptly
on the worst case of sprain, will cure it as
surely as it is used. 1t is the best and
needs only the care and attention of apply
ing it in good time to make the cure effec-
tive and permanent.

The Life of q Shoe.

According to an intelligent and OBJ
servant member of the trade, the aver
age purchaser of footwear counts the
life of a shoe by the number of times it
requires residing and heeling If shoe
is resoled and heeled twice, the wearer
thinks it is better shoe than the one
which, though giving longer wear, will
hardly bear residing and heeling more
than once. The Same retailer claims
that some manufacturers take advantage
of this knowledge and put inferior leath-
er in the soles and heels and thus attain
the apparently impossible feat of in
creasing the reputation of their goods by
using inferior material. 1t is certain,
however, that reputable manufacturers
do not adopt this questionable policy

conclusive and concurrent than that of physi.
clans who testify TO the excellent effect of the
Btters in This disease. Persons incur a wetting
in rainy or snowy weather, and who are ex-

preventive of ill effects. Malaria, dyspepsia,

AN ALPENA MIRACLE
A LADY OF LONG RAPIDS DIS
CARDS HER CRUTCHES.

In an Interview with a Reporter She
Reviews Her Experience and Tells
the Real Cause of the Miracle.
From the Argus, Alpena, Michl
We have long known Mrs. Jas. M.
Todd, of Long Rapids, Alpena Co.,
Mich. She has been a sad cripple.
Many of her friends know the story of
her recovery; for the benefit of those
who do not we publish it today.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostration, and in few
months with muscular and inf1amma-
tory rheumatism. 1t affected her heart,
then her head. Her feet became SO
swollen she could wear nothing on
them. Her hands were drawn all out
of shape. Her eyes were swollen shut
more than half of the time, her knee
joints terribly swollen and for eighteen
months she had to be held up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless, and the skin was so dry and
cracked that it would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated
by score of physicians, and has also
spent much time at Ann Arbor under
best medical advice. All said her
trouble was brought on by hard work
and that medicine would not cure, and
that rest was the only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
with her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover herself at night. The
interesting part of her story follows in
her own words:
81 was urged to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and at last
did SO. In three days after commenced
taking Pink Pills could sit up and
dress myself, and after using them six
weeks l went home and commenced
working. l continued taking the pills,
until now begin to forget my crutches,
and can go up and down steps without
aid. 1 am truly living wonder, walk
ing out of doors without assistance.
"Now, if 1 can say anything to in
duce those who have suffered as l
have, to try Pink Pills, shall gladly
| do SO. If other like sufferers will try
Pink Pills according to directions, they
will have reason to thank God for
creating men who are able to conquer
that terrible disease, rheumatism.
have in my own neighborhood recon-
mended Pink Pills for the after effects
of la grippe, and weak women with
impure blood, and with good results. -
Mrs. Todd is very strong in her faith
in the curative powers of Pink Pills,
and says they have brought poor, help
less cripple back to do her own milk
ing, churning, washing, sewing, knit
ting, and in fact about all of her house
hold duties, thanks to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
