Probably not another woman in the city
was more identified with charitable or
ganizarions. The Diet Mission, Associ-
ated Charities, and Others bore her name
on their books as either officer or MEM
Der. In quiet, unobtrusive way she
visited the poorer quarters of the city,
carrying to the sick and feeble encour-
aeement and aid. Gifts of flowers were
constantly furnished by her to brighten
the hospital wards, and many dark and
cheerless homes. Her connection with
the First Parish was lifelong, and dur
ing Rev. DIR. Hills passionate she was one
of his most devoted friends and parish
| toner's.
| a Mrs. Storer came from celebrated
stock. Her father was old Squire Lit

connected with one of the best known
families in the country. She leaves no

RITZ Lamb, Chinaman, who has Keen
prominent among his race in Portland,
died at the city hospital yesterday, from
cancer of the liver. Mr.. Lambs Chinese
name was All Tee. He came FROM Card
enas to Portland With the late Commo-
dore Churchill in the ffties, a young
man and house servant, at the same time
that fellow Chinaman, LIE Mat, came
here as cook from the same town in
Cuba, with the family of the late w. f.
Stafford. II we are not mistaken these
were the first two Cinnamon who ever
took up their residence in Portland. Mr..
Lamb was quick, bright young fellow,
and be rapidly took, to American civil
cation and American customs. After
he had saved quite a little sum, he start
ed in business, aud at one time kept u
large cigar store on Exchange street.
Later he moved to custom house wharf,
where he had a restaurant. He adopted
an American name, Lamb. taking for
initials of his Christian and middle
names RI, representing his Chinese
name. He spoke English much
better than most of his race, and for a
long time served as interpreter in the
courts and on other occasions where en-
interpreter was needed.
Last summer he had an i'll attack, and
went to the hospita, where he soon re-
covered. A few days ago the authoriti-
es took him to the hospital at his re-
quest. AT one time Mr.. Lamb did quite
fourishing business, but his later
years were not prosperous. He must
have been about 30 years of age.

GERM THEORY OF DISEASE.

Men.
The germ theory Of the origin OF
disease Is a subject which Is at pres

tifc men In all parts OF the world.
The chief importance Of the germ the
DRY, however, Is not that 1t shows the
origin Of disease but that II points out
the best means to be employed to eff
feet a cure. The germs OF disease,
from whatever source they come, are
lodged and developed In the blood. The
blood. Of course, by circulating to every
part Of the body, is sure to scatter dis
ease throughout the system whenevos

ceptible parts being the first to suffer.
Ii is because of scrofnlous taints In the
blood, for instance, that the skin De-
comes covered with erupti0ns. 1t Is
tactic acid In the blood which causes
rheumatism, and 1t Is because the
blood does o supply proper nourish-
ment to the nerves that people suner
with nervousness. The cure for all
these diseases, and Of many others,
can only be effected by purifying the
blood, and absolutely destroying all
germs of disease. No intelligent per-
son can doubt that Hoods sarsaparilla
has actually and permanently cured
many thousands Of cases OF scrofuia.

and other troubles, and. as Its proprie-
tors claim, II Is all because this medi-
cine purifes the blood. As q matter
of fact, Hoods Sarsaparilla Is the only
reliable blood purifier that Is before
the public to-day, and persons afflicted
with impure blood or any Of the great
variety OF ailments which 1t causes,
will be most certain to ind relief and
