AN UNRULY ITALIAN
Makes Life Burden to MIR. Clark of Free
port.

Last September Charles Antonio Cav
anagro, an Italian, aged about 30 years,
went to Freeport to run fruit stand
for Valente. 1t was claimed by the
Freeport people that Cavanagro was in
the habit of drinking and insulting peo-
pie that passed his store and finally that
he assaulted a citizen with knife. He
was arrested and put before the court
and bound over to the January term of
thesSuperior Court. Some of his italian
friends went on his bonds, and when the
case came to trial Judge Bonney was in
the case on the special docket.
1t seems that olemenoy in the case was
misplaced, II the story of MIR. j. d.
Clark of Freeport, is true. Mr.. Clark is
an old man, a farmer, and he says he
took pity on Cayanagro and gave him
a home and board. In return Cavanagro
did chores about the place. Mr.. Clark
asked the italian what he should pay
him to assist, and the man answered
that as he was green at business, pair
of trousers would do. The other day
Clark says. CayanaRro demanded SIS
and proceeded to boss the hor &c and
make life burden. So Mr.. lark came
to Portland and asked the sheriff to send
to Freeport and gather the italian in.
An officer was dispatched after Cav
angro.
Clark said her"wouldn't dare to o b ok
home without an officer.

The work Of putting in the new steam
heating apparatus at the Custom House
is proving very long and difficult job.
To establish a modern system of heat
ing in the great building, it is necessary
to cut many passages for pipes in solid
granite or cement, and to rearrange
water ducts and sc wer connections. The
whole building is in more or less con-
fusion on account of the work. 1t will
probably be thirty days before the new
system will be ready to get up steam.
Some of the new radiators are to be
placed on brackets on the walls instead
of on the floor.
Meanwhile the building is without
heat, and the employees are getting such
warmth as is possible out of gas stoves.

velous. They have won the confidence of
the people; have given Hoods Sarsapa-

have made necessary for its manufacture
the greatest laboratory on earth. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is known by the cures it has
made-cures of scrofula, salt rheum and
eczema, cures OF rheumatism, neuralgia
and weak nerves, cures of dyspepsia, liver
and kidney troubles, catarrh and malaria.
Such Cures as This Prove Merit.
"My little nephew was plump and
healthy baby until year and half old,
then sores broke out behind his ears and
spread rapidly over his head, hands and
body. A physician said the trouble was
scrofula humor in the blood. The child
became one complete sore. We had to
restrain his hands to keep him from
scratching the sores. We were induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in short
time he had more life. He improved rap
idly, his skin became entirely clear of
sores and he is now a healthy child" MRS.
