whose entire stock, fixtures and good will we
have purchased, we have remodeled the cee

purtenances, until it now stands without a
rival as one of the most complete plants in
the United States for the manufacture of a
perfectly pure all-rye Whiskey for medicinal
or other purposes, free from fusel or other
poisonous oils so frequently found in less
reliable goods.
We have testimonials from leading phys
iclans IN all parts of the country commenting
the Braddock for its medicinal properties.
Among the latest is one from Professor
J. II. Malet. the distinguished chemist of
the University Of Virginia. who, at our re-
quest, made very careful analysis of it, and
writes as follows
THE sample of Braddock sent me upon
analysis contains no sulphates nor heavy
metals such as "copper" lead or zinc, and APP
pears to be a sound genuine whiskey, free

would have to go on. We were too we'll

the boy.

the old man promptly.

THE GRAND TRUNK WHARvEs.
The Winter Season of Activity There Will
Begin on Wednesday.


Up to six O'Clock last evening nothing
had been heard by the indoor superin.
tendent of the Allan line, Mr.. W. II.
Robinson, from the steamship Monaghan,
which was due in Portland today. She
had not been reported as arriving at
halifax, her first port, yesterday, and II
is thought that she is having hard trip
across the Atlantic. The Monaghan will
not arrive here now until Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Everything at the Grand Trunk is now
in readiness for the arrival of the first
English steamer of the season. The
A llan line office was opened yesterday by
Superintendent W. H. Robinson and the
clerks of the company. The Allan line
force this winter is as follows: Superin-
tendent W. H. Robinson, W. A. VAIN
wright. J. R. Clowley, H. W. Kinnell,
W. W. O'Hara.
Yesterday the offices were being put in
condition for an active, busy season. for
it seems to be the general opinion that
this winters season will eclipse all form
er ones in point Of business, and there
are bright prospects ahead for the in
creased employment of labor along the
Grand Trunk VIII arves.
Captain Barclay the wharf superin-
tendent Of the Allan line, has not ar
rived here yet. but is expected in few
days.
MIR. Robinson in talking with a
PRESS reporter last evening, said that
he thought there would be q great
amount of grain shipped from Portland
India has caused great uneasiness in
England and there Is firm demand for
American grain. Mr.. Robinson said
that he was glad to see that Portland
had at last recognized the fact that it is
necessary to do something to hold its
control of the English steamer service,
and in aiding in the building of the big
elevator it had taken a step in the right
direction. Mr.. Robinson who is we'll
known in this city, where he has passed
many winters, has firm faith in the
future growth and prosperity Of Port
land, and thinks that the virtues of our
harbor will hereafter be recognized and
aid materially in building up the city.
The Fourth of July has arrived several
months ahead of time. The Fourth is a
schooner and brought cargo of spruce
lumber, which will be used in the con-
struction Of the new elevator.
Captain MoMasters of the firm of Mills
and McMasters of Montreal, is in the
city. His firm will do the stevedoring
for several of the English steamer lines
this winter. AS the contracts have not
been signed yet Captain McMasters is
unwilling to say just what lines he will
handle.
The reason why the new, Dominion liner
Canada is not to be put on the Portland
this winter, has just been made public.
It has been the custom of the Canadian
government to pay subsidy to the own
ers of the steamers which carry the mails
to Halifax. The subsidy offered by the
government for the steamer Canada was
500 pounds. The sum demanded by the
Dominion line was just twice this sum.
The governments would not pay 1T and
consequently the Canada was put on the
Boston run and will not be seen here.
