Forest Fires in New York.

Port Jervis., N. Y, May 11.-Big for
est fires have been burning in this locall-
ty since Friday. The high wind Sunday
and today combined with the extreme
dryness. caused the James to spread with
almost incredible velocity and. defy all
att empts to control them. The burned
erritory extend as FROM Gilmans on the
Monticello railroad through Hartwood
and Hugue not to Cahoonzie about 10
miles. The Inhabitants of those places
fought the fire all day Saturday, Satur-
day night, Sunday and Sunday night
with little effect. Much available TIM
many railroad ties are destroyed. The
flames overleaped by a single bound
Cedar Swamp which is half mile
across and swept on at the speed Of

though large club house WAS saved.

GOT NO SATISFACTION.
Mule spinners Interview Agent Macarthur
at Biddeford-A Strike Probable.

Biddefnrd May ia committee from
the Mule Spinner's Union met Agent
Macarthur of the Pepperell and Laconia
mills this afternoon and presented the re-
quest for shut down instead of more
reduction. The details of the CON ference
are secret but it is understood that the
committee got no satisfaction. The gen.
eral sentiment is that if the cut down is
enforced Monday as proposed, a general
strike will follow. At the city council
meeting tonight an order was passed au-
thorizing the city solicitor to examine an
order, passed several years ago exempting
from taxation the improvements the
Pepperell and Laconia mills might make
within 10 years and report as to its leg
aIity as there is evidently desire onsthe
part OF some of the members of the city
council to rescind the order.

THE QUEENS SPEECH.
The New COrtes Met In Madrid
Yesterday.

Annual Address by the Queen Regent
Said to be Correct.
Madrid, May 11.-The new Ccrtes met
by the Queen Regent. She said that the
breaking out of the insurreotion in Cuba
la st year prevented the liberal reforms
in Cuba and Porto Rico which had been
decided upon. The Queen quotes COM
mercial agent Of the United States as
saying that the reyolutionists seeing in
the reforms great advantage to
their country quiokened the movement
to pr event their aspiration of creating
an independent state from becoming i'm
paired. Fortunately she said tho insur-
rection was decreasing in the opinion 2.
the superior authorities of the island. If
it is not yet decreased completely it is
due principally to the great and frequent
helps received from abroad. She said
when peace was restored it would be nee
essary to give to Cuba and Porto Rico
the economical and administrative per-
local. She said the projects of law would
be presented to the Cortes the objects Of
which would be to put an end quickly to
the present situation.
Speaking of Spain's relations with
other nations, she said: The correct
and friendly conduct of the American re-
public in the presence of the Cuban in-
surrection, is good proof that every day,
ties of interest are developed and friend
ship unites its closer with Spain. In
the United States Notwithstanding the
great efforts part of the public opinion
has succeeded in making in contrary
sense. the President and his government
have not departed from the line of con-
duct that corresponds to a loyal friendship
between the two co untries.
The Portland daily press., 1896-05-12

Mr.. Anthoine closed the matter for
the remonstrant urging that the board
only grant the specific location to Delano
Park, to which point they said they
could construct this year, and no further.
Then" said he, when you want to
so to Bowery Beach say so and we'll help
you get up a petition
Yes" interrupted Mr.. Smith, "and
give you push along"
In summing up for the petitioners Mr..
Hale. thanked the citizens for their atten-
dance and expression of opinion and the
board for their courteous attention. He
reiterated. the statement that the road
wanted to serve the peoples needs and
that alone. He did not see as Ethere@wa
the slightest objection to the road coming
to Delano Park as everybody seemed to
be in favor of it. He said the company
desired to come in the least Objectionable
way possible. He did not assent to the
limitation of the location to the road
to Delano Park but was perfectly willing
to leave the matter to the discretion and
good Judgment of the municipal officers.
Mr.. Hale dwelt for a short time on
some of the points made by the articles
favorable to the extension, enforcing the
points and answering some of the objec-
tions raised by the remonstrants.
The board Of selectmen listened very
attentiyely to the remarks of all and
then adjourned the hearing, taking tho
matter under advisement.
Their decision will be announced later.

THE HONEST SHAKERS and
THEIR CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.

The shopkeeper who cheats us by living
with regard to the quality of his goods. and
the grocer or the butcher who gives us
short weights is thief. However, their
knavery touches nothing but our pocket
book There is another widespread form of
nisre presentation of far more dangerous
and villainous character
I've refer to the false statements and worth
less guarantees that frequently accompany
medicines. To guarantee medicine to cure
is to brand it as quacl1 product. If we
can guarantee to cure disease, then we can
guarantee everlasting life. for in large ma
jority of cases people die of disease, the
proportion of violent or accidental deaths
being very small.
The Shakers have always been known as
most upright and honorable people, and
their success in the manufacture of medl-
cines has also been well known. 1t is there
fore not surprising to find them pursuing
very original and novel plan for the intro
duction of their remedy for dyspepsia.
These God-fearing people, whose motto
has always been "Try all things and hold
fast that which is good,'' have put upon
the market ten cent sample bottles of their
product, or sufficient to give it a trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so prompt
in its action that for the trivial sum of ten
cents person can usually determine as to
whether or not it meets the requirements of
his case. There are forms of dyspepsia
which it won't help, but these are very
rare. In most cases the first dose relieves
all distress, and an increase of appetite at
once follows.
ALI druggists have it, and the next time
You are troubled with indigestion send out
and try this popular and successful product.
1t represents nearly hundred years of pa
uent investig cation and Duty

CAPITAL GLEANIEGS,

The report of the joint committee au-
thorized to adjust the damages due those
injured in the Ford's theatre disaster was
made to Congress today. A year ago
$105,000 was appropriated for 81 clerks,
either killed outright or who died from
the effects of the injuries received This
was at the rate OF S5, coo each. The re-
port allows $4,000 each in cases of three
who died since, and appropriates s144, :
800, in amounts ranging from $50 to Sl5
600, for those injured numbering 105.
This makes grand total of 1864, 800 that
has been, or will be appropriated as a
result of that accident. The provision
in the bill reported, requires the beniflci
aries to sign release to all further de-
mands upon the government.
