everywhere as a wonder OF the 18th century.
Scores Of people have been cured OF long
standing diseases by his simply taking them
by the hand. Nobody can account Tor this
wonderful power of healing that this man Is
endowed with. 1t battles our wisest men, The
Doctor himself can't explain it. About six or
eight months ago he had severe fit of sick
ness, and after his recovery found he could
stop toothache OF headache instantly. He
then tried other ailments, and to his
great surprise and the JOY of all who came to
him if was found that he helped every one. and
entirely cured great many; and strange to
say the most hopeless cases were benefited
the most. The Doctor then decided to leave
nome so as to further test this Mysterious
Eift of Healing He went TO Biddeford and
Mayed eight DAYS, where he treated hundreds
sf people for all manner of diseases with
wonderful success Here is what one Bidde-
lord lady saysi after having been treated
by three prominent physicians and being

Twentieth Annual Picnic at Peaks Island
Yesterday.

The Lewiston and AuburnMarketmen's
association, with their families, to the
number Of about eight hundred, went on
their twentieth annual excursion to
Peaks Island yesterday. 1t was expected
that about 1900 would ooms on the exour-
sion, but owing TO heavy shower which
prevailed 10 Lewiston in the morning at
about starting time, many were afraid of
the rain and staysdsat home Those who
did come, however, more than made up
in enthusiasm what they lacked in num-
ers.
The party arrived in this city in the
morning over the Maine Central on two
trains. the first train being composed of
sixteen cars and two engines and the seq
ond train of ten cars and engine. The
exoursionists were conveyed along Com
mercial street TO the head of Custom
House wharf, where they then took the
Pilgrim of the Casoo Bay line for Peaks.
The party was accompanied by the Au-
burn Cadet band, that furnished excellent
music. both on the boat and at the
islands,
Upon arrival at the island, the party
scattered in all directions and ell went in
for day of enjoyment. Many OF the
younger people went TO Greenwood Gar
den, where dancing was in order and
were soon tripping the light fantastic,
and some went to the Rigby races.
The rival ball teams. the Wholesalers
and the Retailers, at once SENT out Skin
mishers for suitable field for grounds in
which to GROSS bats, and finally located
in the field back Of Littlejohn's house on
Elephant avenue, whsre spirited game
of ball was at once commenced. Both
sides fought hard, but the game was final
ly won by the Retailers by score OF II
to z.
At Don the exoursionists split up into
parties and went to the different hotels
and restaurants for dinner, about 800 of
them sitting down at the tables at the
Peaks Island house.
After dinner the people occupied every
available place along the water front to
witness Prof. Oldrieve In his great ma
rine exhibition of walking on the water,
bombarding forts and the great explo-
sion of battle ships.
Every place of amusement was thrown
open to the visitors and of course were
crowded to tbs DOORS At the Pavilion it
was almost impossible to obtain stand
room, while Forest City rink was crowd
ed with merry parties of skaters and to-
bogganers. and also to witness the Val
dares, in one of the most novel and pleas
ing trick bicycle exhibitions ever given
on the island.
During the afternoon the Auburn
Cadet band gave a pleasing concert on
the lawn in front Of the Peaks Island
house, which was listened to by hundreds
Of people.
The excursionists left the island on the
five O'Clock boats for the city, where the
train was in waiting at the head of Gus
tom House wharf to convey them home.
1t is safe to say that it was a day of
thorough enjoyment for all and the
weather could not have been more Der
feet if it had been ordered for this occa-
sion.
