TO the Officers and Brothers of Patten
Lodge, No. &C. X. of F. of Maine:
Dear Sirs and Brothers. have a letter
from your keeper of records and seals of
Sept. s, ANSWERING my recent inquiry as
to the reported action of Patten Lodge
in regard to the trial of a cause at Bath
in which Percy w. Roberts, Mrs. Roberts
and John O. Patten were concerned. In
this official letter he states that rcsolu-
tions expressing sympathy for Brother
Roberts and condemnation for Mr. Patten
and Mrs. Roberts and of the decision of
the judge of the supreme judicial court
of our State, who presided at that trial,
were adopted by Patten Lodge and given
to the press for publication.
Without regard to the dement's of the
case. or the justice or injustice of the
decision of the presiding judge, l regret
sincerely that any such action should
have been taken by a lodge of knights of

count of the results obtained from per-
sonal use of the remedy and knowledge
of the remarkable cures it has per-
formed. l believe it has no equal in
curing diseases of the nervous system
and building UP those who are weak
and out of health. 1t has cured several
friends of mine of rheumatism in it's
worst form, and / have no hesitancy
in recommending it to all afflicted with
that disease Very truly yours,

Desperate diseases, such as rheuma-
tism, blood impurity. neuralgia or ner-
vous debility, that bring down the
strength of the whole body can not be
got rid of as one does srcatch or sprain,
by letting them cure themselves. Heart
weakness. kidney disease, chronic
headaches and enlarged liver and
spleen are not self-terminating disor-
ders. Like all the desperate diseases
they demand a thoughtful, scientific
remedy.
There never has been a remedy SO
thoroughly grounded in knowledge of
what the sick body needs in these dis
eases as Paine's celery compound.
Paine's celery compound is the re-
markable result of profound investiga-
ton and close medical study by that
eminent professor of the Dartmouth

THE CUBAN ARMY
Is Keeping on Fighting Depending on No One
for Assistance.

New York, Sept. IA special to the
| Herald from Havana via Tampa, Fla.
says:
The Cuban army is not counting
upon any action that the United States
government may take toward ending
| this war. The rebels are preparing to
fight it out on their own account They
would welcome Intervention if it tended
toward. self-rule but they are not TAX
ing chances
From correspondence received from
all parts of the field it may be stated
just what the rebels have been doing
during the last week, and to estimate
their present strength. Ill and wounded
IN hospitals are not taken into account.
In Pinar Del Rio the insurgents have
fighting force of three thousand men.
OF these there are 300 cavalry on the
south end Of the coast. The remainder.
infantry, are in the north and are well
armed, but in bad way for clothing
and supplies. During the last week the
Cubans have attacked and captured
the town Of Candelaria, on the western
railroad.
In Havana province there are at least
five thousand fighting men under Cas-
tillo. They are now well supplied with
winter clothing and prepared for an
aggressive campaign. During General
Weyler's last tour through the province
they followed him closely and made
several vain attempts to force him into
a fight.
In Santa Clara province the rebels
are very strong. On the sixth instant

lector J. c. Saunders at Port Townsend,

chants" tended to show the existence of
big conspiracy for the unlawful entry
of Chinese into this country. The ring
was apparently backed by unlimited
money. The price paid to Gee for the
landing of the men ranged from $i50 to
5000 each. The authorities seem to
have evidence showing that nearly a

AUGUSTA & FAR xINGI0N RAILROAD.
Survey Party Working in Mt. Vernon to Con-
meet Pennington End. ~

Readficld, Sept 17.-(SpeciaD.-
Spofford and surveying party have passed
through this place, laying out at one
place two routes for the proposed Au-
gusta & Pennington narrow gauge rail-
way. AT last accounts, they were work
ing in Mt. Vernon, to join the survey be-
gun at the Farmington end of the route.
From Winthrop village the line now
run is as follows: From the vicinity of
the condensed milk factory. where the
station will be located. the road will
curve around the lower end of Mariana
cook lake and pass up its west shore for
the most of the way, on the westward
side of the Maine Central tracks. AT
Maranacook Grove it will part company
with the Maine Central. as it will con
tinue on the western shore of the lake.
AT the Sandford place, near the head of
the lake, the road will strike across in a
northwesterly direction to the vicinity of
the Atkinson or old Governor Morrill,
place.
From here two surveys have been made.
One is along the route previously con-
jectured in Journal report This would
bring the Readfeld station in the neigh
borhood of what was formerly Brown $
grocery store near Records grist mill
and the wooden mill. From here the line
passes up the bed of the mill stream to
the saw mill at the foot of kents Hill
BY the other survey the station would
not be nearly so near OF convenient " tIlt
Readfield people, but Il better road bed
could be found. it is said. This second
survey crosses the road to South Wayne
near AtkinSOn's duck pond, curves around
through the Otis Bickford place and
thence strikes across to the saw mill. The
Readfield station in this case would
either be in the vicinity of the Bickford
place or else near the saw mill.
From the saw mill the road continues
on the lakeward side of the Mt. Vernon
highway. crossing that near the junction
of the Kents Hill and MT. Vernon roads
and proceeding to West Mt. Vernon and
from West Mt. Vernon to Mt. Vernon vii
lage This whole course from winthrop
to Mt Vernon, though very circuitous Is
for the most part level and easy to build
as it keeps along the lakes and water
courses hat part of the road from WIN
throp village to Maranacook Grove is
probably the most difficult that has yet
been found. but the difficult section is not
Il long one.
People in Readfield and Mt. Vernon, as
well as in Winthrop. are waking up to
the advantages which the road will offer
them. and it is probable that they Will
be willing to do their part to help the
thing along to successful completion.
