1t is claimed by DIR. Flowers
friends that he can diagnose any
disease of any person without ask
ing the patient a question, and
that he is the only living physician
who can scientifically do so with
out making a mistake.
The Boston Globe says: "In the
treatment of cancer, consumption,
tumor, heart and nerve troubles,
DR.. r. C.. Flower has no equal in
the world" The Boston Traveller
says: "There is no experiment in
DR.. r. G. Flowers practice. Able
as he is to tell any one his disease,
without asking question, he is
not likely to doctor his patients
for the wrong disease" The New
York Tribune says: "Dr. r. C.
Flower, Of Boston, is the highest
authority on chronic disease and
enjoys the largest practice of any
living physician"
Our readers will see that this
visit of DIR. r. c. Flower to Texas
will enable the sick to consult him
close to their homes.

:. NOTES OF THE GAME.

The latest in the Coyle dispute is q
pronunciamento from MIR. Coyle, himself
IN which he says that Augusta hasn't
any claim on him, that he won't play
there anyway, and that he has told his
spa" that il the New England League
people won't let him play on nice Mr..
Burnham's team he'll BIZ right home on
the next train. and live on the old man
through the summer. That isn't just the
way Coyle put it. but it was in words to
that effect. This talk on the part of ball
players telling where they will play and
when they won't play is very tiresome
MIR. Coyle's own opinion or own molina
tions, or his fondness for Mr.. Burnham
don't amount to a last years season
ticket When he signed contract he
bound himself 20 certain rules which are
found useful and necessary in baseball
and If he DOESN'T choose to abide by them
he can't be installed as one of his PARENTS
summer boarders any too soon.
There is great rejoicing in Bangor and
naturally enough for Yale" Murphy and
Billy Long have traded and the little
short stop will wear driving cocks in his
boots this summer and captain the down
east stars. He can play the field as we'll
as any one. and while weak hitter in
the National league may be able to find
the ball in the minor organization. AT
any rate he will be great drawing card.
and will need to be too, for 1t Is under
stood that the price he has placed on his
services would keep whole team 60

Death a Glorious Morning.

AS long as the race continues, as long
as the moon pursues her silvery course
through the heavens, as long as the stars
glisten in the diadem of night, SO long
will Easter morning be unlike any 9th
or morning of the year. 1t is bridal
day which greets us with the assurance
of eternal love. The worlds great heart
no longer resembles mufled drum, but
beats with divinely inspired hopes.
With moist eyes we look at the mound
where rests the loved one, but with
grateful hands we scatter flowers there
on. lie is risenl" And we, too, shall
rise. The years may come and go as
they will henceforth. They may bring
whatever fortune he thinks best-our
sojourn is but short, and then the heav-
ems will open.
The grave is no ones home-it is on ly
the resting spot from which the soul
takes it's flight to other chimes.
Tears for the departed will keep the
grass of the cemetery green. but behind
the tears at separation is the hope of re-.
union.
Even earthly love may be eternal, for
God will not part for long the souls
that really belong to each other.
First toilsome ard a burdensome
day. Then cometh the night, in which
no man can work. After that the new

WAS NO WATER SUPPLY.
Lack of Pressure Responsible for a Seri-
GUS Fire in Bangor.

Bangor, April 15.-Fire this evening
destroyed the big stable owned by ]. B.
p. Wheelden, the well known horseman,
on Union street; also the house in front
owned by Hussey Dore. The cause is I'm.
known. Mr.. Wheelden rushed into the
stable to save his horse. but was pros.
trated by heat, and narrowly escaped be-
ing burned to death. The stable was
burned fat, also the house. Owing to
lack of pressure on the water, the loca-
tion being Thomas hill, about the
highest spot in the city. In the stable
were burned horse, cow, pigs, several
tons of hay and straw, several carriages.
farming implements, etc. Several houses
in the vicinity took fire but were not
much damage. The loss to Wheelde is
estimated at $500; to Dore, $500. 1t was
a narrow escape for many buildings
owing to the lack of water.

BRIGGS CASE WILL BE SETTLED.
Somewhat Famous Action Against a. Win
throp Trader.

Winthrop, April 10 The somewhat
celebrated case of the creditors of the
firm of Webb & Briggs. against Joseph
E. Briggs, is now said to be virtually
settled. Briggs, some months ago, off
cred to take the entire business on his
hands. and pay II per cent out of the
assets, the liabilities being about $15,-
900. Symonds, Snow & Cook, attorneys
for the creditors have now concluded to
accept II per cont and the affair may
probably now be considered as settled.
At the time of the failure the affair
was largely exploited in the papers, and
sensatio nal rumors as to fraud, etc.,
were circulated, but this talk has long
since subsidized, and when the Portland
creditors came to understand the charac-
ter and motives of Mr.. Briggs, whose
only object now appears to have been tc
help young Webb and Briggs out of a
difficult place, they were not anxious to
push the matter to trial Gov. Cleavss
has acted as counsel for Mr.. Briggs.

New England league magnates didn't

Great baseball days these. Next week

Lewiston Journal-A Bangor paper
says that it never heard of Pitcher Page
of the Portlands. Averages don't count
but il they did, the lad would count
strong. The last guide puts him high in
the Texas Southern league. Portland
also presents Pitcher Mccoy as q phe-
nomonon Mccoy is a teeuoraler they tell
us from the ground up. This il next to
being a teetotaler from the throat up. He
a Kentuckian. Last year he won 81 out
of 81 gaines in the Texas Southern league
with the Galveston team.
The Bangor Commercial says that
President Sedan of Boston is authority
for the statement that the New England
league will be in Glass B. under the
national agreement. Last season we were
in Glass A, and could get $500 for q
player that another league wished to buy.
The New England league at their meet
ing voted to remain in Glass A but SEQ
rotary Morse forgot to transmit the vote
to Washington and under the new GLASS
iflcation the New England league would
be in Glass G, at $2Ol. The national board
will probably compromise putting US in
Glass B, at $500 for player.
The Philadelphia Athletics claim to
have bought outfielder Henry of Bangor,
but Bangor hasn't seen any Of the
money.
The NEW South" given for the bsne-
fit of the Augusta ball team tuesday eve
ming, was an unqualified success. The
performance was one of the best ever
seen there. The large audience present
showed great enthusiasm.
Jimmy Rogers, the old Portland
player, appears to have caught the town
at Washington The papers are full OF
compliments for him.
Fears are expressed that the Fall
Rivers are not strong enough this year to
win the pennant. AS a rule Fall River
teams do not appear strong on paper, but
somehow the get there. Manager Marston
40 pOo Oid manager w NO ou any
line of the national game and has paid
special attention to getting strong bat
ting nine. Every applicant has been re-
QIired to furnish special references as to
his batting ability, and thus the Fall
Rivers will be among the strongest teams
in the league-Boston Herald.
The above is in line with a remark
made in the PRESS sometime ago, that
ii wouldn't do to bank too much on Fall
Rivers weakness on paper.

came to hear the address of Secretary
Carlisle on the currency and financial
