Fashionable Fad for Pre-
serving Beauty.
Is Called Claiming" and is
Generally ReSOrted to.
Some Interesting Labor Statistics
From Empire State.

According TO veracious reports from the
fashionab BILE world the latest fad in the
line of beauty treatment is "glaming."
So many alleged inventions and discover
les for the preservation OF youth and the
coaxiug of beauty are sprung upon the
fair eek nowadays that one would believe
that the fin de steele young woman has
no other thought than that OF enhancing
her charms. IL is difficult to give a
meaning To the word "glaming." but 1t
seems to be, according to an Eatsern
authority, the drinking OF milk fresh from
the COW at temperature of 30 degrees
initiating the lungs at regular intervals; I;
with the eyes closed and the mind dwell
ing on pleasant things; regular repose
during the day in a room filled with pure
air. Glame Is q most mysterious thing
the soil creates ii. snd man creates il.
1t is said to impart buoyant feeling, and
as the system is filed with 1t the skin
will take on a healt bier color, it hsrdens
ana the wrinkles .ars kept away.

The Missionary Yacht.


The old Missionary yacht is in port
with Captain Allen, who sails her. He
brought up little steam barge with an
uncanny name for a gospel boat" The
Imp" The Captains health is impaired,
SO that he cannot row to his appointments
as has been his custom, and so he calls in
the aid of steam. If he succeeds in
getting rest from hard work by means of
the Imp he will do the world service by
illustrating the method of getting good
out of evil.
Besides towing the barge he brought
the pastor of the Bethel with him, who
has been to Muscongus to spend the Sab
bath with the people and receive several
members into the Bethel church there,
bringing the whole number to eighteen.
The occasion was a very interesting one
and boat loads of people came across the
bay from various directions to attend it.
There is no decline in the good work, but
rather a solidifying of it's character. The
people have an admirable free school with
an excellent Christian teacher, devoted to
her work in and out Of school hours, and
free library of over hundred books of
somewhat wide range has gone down to
them. They have sold Glory" at mast
head on school days, but it looks as
though it had had a good deal of patriotic
use. 1t would not be a bad plan for some
of our people to send them new one.

corbett Coming to Portland.

President Woodbury. yesterday received
a letter from James j. Corbett, the ex-
champion pugilist, saying that he would
come to Portland sometime in July and
play first base for the Portland ball team
d few games. He will probably play one
game here and one in each of the other
Maine cities in the circuit. Corbett is a
good ball player, and the opportunity of
seeing him ON the diamond is one which
will be appreciated.
.Lewistons Today.
The Lewistons are on the Deering
grounds today and don't forget that Capt.
Beasie and his men will wipe out the
stain upon their good name as bail play
ers which the Lewiston team inflicted up
on them last Memorial day The Lewis
ton team will be badly licked today.
Come out and see the gore flow. Game
called at three O'Clock. Miller will pitch.
Baseball Notes.
Motz, the Lewiston delinquent has re-
ported. He will be seen in today's game.
May be the New England league boasts
of better fielding first baseman than
Birmingham, but if it does they have
struck some one this year who outshines
anything seen in these parts for some
years.
Flack, Sharrott and Wise will make q
pretty warm outfield for Bangor.
1t was up to date sport out at the Deer
ing grounds yesterday.
Dave Coughlin and Polhemus may be
old timers, but there are few of the
youngsters who can give them any points
on playing on tfleld
Stey ems showed great pluck in pitching
so long rs he did after his foot was spiked
The Bangor steam looked very New
England league with Birmingham, Wise,
Mackenzie, Newell and Flack.
"Come out to the game Saturday and
have some fun with Beasie McGuirk," is
the cheerful invitation the Lewiston Sun
extends. That's right come, but don't
forget to remember that Beasie will have
part of the fun and is likely to get the
big end of it at that.

[ have reason to think that l would
not be here now if it had not been for
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. 1t cured me of a fibroid tumor
in my womb.
Doctors could do nothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
/ will tell you about it:
had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When nv
monthly period came on, I flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. I
said | would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. l still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs. B. A. LOMBARD,

Impo rtant Pension Decision.

Washington, June 17.-Assistant Secre-
tary Davis of the interior department.
has rendered decision that will affect
many claims forl pensions. He reversed
the action of the pension office in the
case of Gathering Geronzin, a widow
of soldier in the Ohio infantry, which
rejected the claim for pension because
there was no proof of death of the soldier.
Geronzin left home in July, 1866, since
which time nothing had been heard from
him. The assistant secretary holds that
further inquiry should be made concern
ing the man and if nothing is thereby
developed throwing additional light on
the case g death at may be so presumed under
years absence from home, without intel
ligence of his existence presump-
ton of death.

Not unmindful of the patriotic associa-
lions which makes Bunker Hill day,
memorable, Uniform Rank, A. o. H. of
A. assembled last night in goodly num-
bers at their hall and proceeded in a body
to the Portland Tavern for the special
social session of the evening. TheIe
joined by friends of the order the party
entered the dining rooms of the hotel and
found awaiting them tables laden with
ferns and flowers, and the walls of the
room decorated most tastefully with
American flags.
About fifty people sat down to ban
quet and the menu presented embraced a
list OF viands which would tempt the
most fastideous tastes and reflected credit
upon the manager who had arranged it.
The inner man being thoroughly satisfied,
Captain Reagan extended warm well
come to all present and expressed the
wish that the gathering might serve to
infuse life into the organization.
Lieutenant ONeill acted as toastmaster
and in his opening remarks particularly
referred to the old colors that hung upon
the walls and urged the members to CO.
operate as a family circle. Mr.. George
Kelley followed in a few remarks, after
which recitation of the Battle of Fontle-
roy was effectively given by Mr.. Edward
Baker. The POSTMASTER then introduced
County President Flaherty, who said that
banquets, songs and stories did not make
an order but makes the character of it's
individual members and hoped that men s
life might be infused with this auxiliary
to the great order of Hibernians. Lieut..
McCallum thought that measures should
be aopted to build up an organization
with the effectiveness that had been
reached in military bodies. Mr.. Boyle re-
ferred to the Queens Jubilee and the an
ticipated visit of an English war ship
and thought with equal propriety if AL
fonso of Spain had birthday a Spanish
gunboat might be looked for or if the
Gear a birthday one bearing Russian
colors. Ex-President BARLEY ]. Curran
regretted that men of Irish blood should
be found to vote the city's money for the
celebration of the Jubilee and that it
was right feeling for men of Irish5blood tc
eat, drink and be merry on any day that
brought misfortune to England The
speaking was interspersed with very en-
joyable musical selections, and the ban
quet closed by the singing of America, in
which the entire party Joined.

purpose held by the Hawaiian people and
proclaimed by successive Hawaiian gov
ernments through some seventy years of
their virtual dependence upon the benevo-
lent protection of the United States.
Under such circumstances, annexation is
not a change, it is a contamination.
The report of the Secretary of State ex-
hibits the character and course of the re-
cent negotiations and the features of the
treaty itself. The organic and administers
tive details of incorporation are necessari-
ly left to the wisdom of the Congress, and
I cannot doubt when the function of the

performed with the largest regard for the
interests for this rich insular domain and
