SIXTY YEARS AGO.
Chief Justice Peters Writes the Old Cor.
ham Academy.

the new dormitory of the Gorham Nor
NAL school, has called attention to the
old Gorham academy which was the fore
which many men who afterwards be-
came prominent were graduated. Elk
Governor ROBBIE recently received a letter
from Chief Justice Peters enclosing a
copy of the "Order of exercises for ex-
hibition at Gorham aademy and Teach
ers' seminary, August 20, 1885," Judge
Peters was member of the class and
participated in the exercises. His letter
to Governor ROBBIE is written in a hand
which shows that the operation recently
performed on his eyes has been successful
and has fully restored his sight, a result
which will give pleasure to host of
friends all over the state. The letter from
the Chife Justice follows:
Bangor, December 49,
My Dear Governor: Where are all those
fellows we knew at old Gorham? Shall
we ever see again Amos Brown, that en-
terprising ola preoeptor? He was a
valuable man to the institution. I am
writing this with new eye after an
operation for cataract.
Yours truly,
JOHN A. PETERS.
The order of exercises on the occasion
referred to was as follows:

academy at that time was one of the most
popular institutions in New England.

IN TIE mIpsT or WAR.

II is useless to attempt any longer
10 disguise the gravity OF the crisis
which confronts this nation. We are
not merely on the verge OF war. We
are over the verge. War, strictly
speaking, is already in our midst.
Uncle Sam has privately sick ed on his
most horrid war dog, the naval militia,
and that dead agency Of destruction is
daily furnishing up its fangs and
sharpening Its claws. When the as
sistant secretary of the navy bade the
naval militia to prepare for carnage,
peace howled and ran away. And the
assistant secretary of the navy was but
following precedent. Prior to the
declaration OF independence the naval
militia was called in aud asked whether
it was prepared to mobilize itself at a
moments notice. ~ am" replied the
naval militia, and Thomas Jefferson
said; "The naval militia being ready,
move that we declare our independ-
enee"
VI VIZ VI NhN Ahoh
with Great Britain, Jackson sent the
following communication to the naval
militia: we are at war with Eng.
land. II you need help l will notify
the rest OF the country"
1t Is true that war with Spain has
not been formally declared, but IL war
should be formally declared without
the naval militia having received ad-
vance information it would amount
not merely to grave affront to our
most important instrument OF war,
but to a contravention OF the spirit OF
the constitution, article IL. OF which
provides that the president shall COM
mand the army and navy and advise
with the naval militia.

Women's weaknesses are the cause
Of more suffering than all other dis
eases combined. And yet women may
easily avoid all these distressing all
ments IL they will only be wise There
is way to prevent them. Mrs Isabel
Green, one OF the leading ladies OF
Colchester, Conn, gtves some valuable
advice in these words; For three or
four years | suffered with bRckAche
and bearing down pains and various
other ailments peculiar to womankind,
and tired many kinds OF medicine but
until l commenced the use Of Warmers
safe cure / never received any perms
nent relief AS the result of taking II
now feel like new woman, and
have not had an ache or pain for two
years past. | cheerfully recommend
this great remedy to every woman who
suffers as / did"
Experience has proved that Warmers
safe cure Is positively the best remedy
for putting a stop to female weak
nesses OF every kind 1t is a remedy
that no woman can afford to be with
out and IL is remedy that
EVERY WOMAN NEEDS.

Ponca Girls Are Mad.

The Ponca City Democrat is up in

ner In which the Bachelor Girl club OF
that place is being treated by the
eastern press. This club Is composed
OF the best young ladies in the city
who have banded together for social

that the next issue will contain pic

CHEERS FOR WEYLER.
Tho Ex-Captain General Enthusiastically
Received at barcelona

Received at barcelona
BARCELONA, Nov. - General Wey-
Ter, the former captain general of
Cuba, arrived here this morning on the
steamer Montserrat, from Havana.
The general landed beneath the Co.
lumbus monument at 10 o'clock and
was acclaimed by about O,0OO people.
In order TO escape the manifestation
he was driven TO the house of Deputy
Suladrigas, where, however, he was
forced TO appear upon the balcony and
was applauded by the crowds of peo-
Pile who had gathered about the
house.
General Weyler, addressing a num-
ber of his friends shortly after his
arrival here, expressed great regret at
his recall from Cuba, adding that he
was particularly annoyed by the atti-
tude of certain newspapers which de-
clared he favored the insurgents
In regard to autonomy, the former
captain general of Cuba said:
Autonomy in Cuba would be NOSE
unfortunate for national industry.
The riches of Cuba belong to Spain,
and autonomy means the disappear
ance of Spanish worlmen and com
plete misery throughout the island
There is as much reason for Cata-
lonia, the Balearic islands and the
other provinces TO ask for autonomy
as Cuba. "

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
First National Bank OF Oklahoma City
Decides TO Liquidate.

The 1imes-J ournal OF Oklahoma City
saws that on December the First Ma
tional bank OF that city will transfer
all its interests to the State National
bank having decided TO liquidate and
Quit business. This step is taken be-
cause Mr. Reynolds, the owner of all
the stock, desires TO concentrate his
capital at Albany, Texas, his homo.
The bank has now funds on hand TO
pay all depositors in full II they desire
10 draw out their money, but 1t Is not
probable that any will desire TO do so,
as the State National will continue the
business and is in every way an excel
lent financial institution The First
National is one OF the soundest insti-
tutions in the territory, and Is more
prosperous now than ever before In its
history. Its deposits now are larger
than ever before, and 1t is said that
but little bad paper has accumulated.
Mr. Reynolds has gone extensively into
the cotton seed oil business, and needs
all his capital at home, which is the
only reason for going out of business

Too many men are declining, losing
their energy, life and manly enterprise
by reason of subtle poison in the
blood which brings on that fatal
malady known as Brights disease It's
primary cause is disordered condi-
tion OF the liver and kidneys and there
is only one way in which it can be
cleared out OF the system. Mr.. e. j.
Codd, president Of the E J. Codd Co =,
of Baltimore, Md, spoke from exper
ience when he recently said: "Six
years ago I was baGy affected by an
attack OF BriRht's disease. | had sew
eral doctors in attendance for some
time. but finally discontinued their
services and commenced taking War
ner's safe cure. After using about six
bottles | was entirely cured and re
stored to health"
These words are strong and convlnc-
ing. They prove beyond any doubt
that Warmers safe cure is able to cure
BuRhts disease, and every other form
OF liver and kidney complaint AS q
remedy 1t is unequalled, 1t can always
be relied upon and
