The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines are
not necessarily the best. In fact, as a rule,
they are not. What is wanted is some
thing mild and sure, such as Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy. That's really pleasant to take when
reduced with water and sweetened. Then
it is acknowledged everywhere to be the
most successful remedy in the world for
bowel complaints. Ask any number of
druggists for the best remedy they have
for diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain's. In
speaking of this medicine, Mr.. B. B. Buff

THEIR GRIEVANCES.
why Grand Trunk Employees Say They Are
Dissatisfied.

The Montreal Star gives the following
statement Of the grievances Of the Grand
Trunk employees which are being made
the subject of conference between the
representatives of the men and the officials
of the road:
On behalf of the men it is asserted that
old employees, capable Of doing their
officials are asked for an explanation, no
satisfactory answer is given.
Other reasons are:
First-That they have much longer
runs than formerly, thereby preventing
them from getting home to their fami-
lies. .,va
Second4That they are compelled, since
the new regime, to make much faster
runs with locomo olives that are incapable
of doing the work ~,
Third-That only half the amount of
oil is given to the drivers on these fast
runs than formerly, and If a journal gets
hot they are soundly beIated by the me-
chanical superintendent for their negli-
either suspended or discharged, they
claiming that it is entirely the fault of
the company.
Fourth-That when man is i'll and
notifies the proper officials of the COM
pany to that effect upon his return, in
stead Of retaining his old position he is
given much inferior run.
Fifth-That train masters have been
appointed at various places on the road,
like Belleville, Hamilton and Stratford,
who seem to have more control and give
more orders than the train despatchers
themselves.
Sixth-That the baggage men on the
train are enforced to do both the baggage
and express messengers work and that it
is impossible to do both satisfactorily to
themselves Or the company

crease of wages that they are fighting for

lived. With irrigation the farmer does
not have to depend upon rain for his
crops.
Zone of the most important parts of
our plan will be the establishment of a
banking sy stem similar to that now in
use in Germany. This we believe would
revolutionize agricultural affairs. The
trouble with the banker under the pres
emit system is that he sometimes lends to
the farmer when he ought not to, and
refuses when he ought to lend. He is not

and they would lend no money outside of
the association. They begin at once to
form reserve fund, laying aside about
quater of the capital.

take care of, if the association thinks he

him have the COW. 1t the COW dies, the
bank stands the loss, and it will not feel
it. If the man had to stand the loss, it
would prove q severe blow.
We. intend to run our colony on bust
ness principles. If we cannot interest
capital, we do not intend to take it up.
1t is proposed to build the colony on the
plan Of Paris and Washington. From a
square mile of public buildings for
creameries, egg warehouses, &C., we
would have roads running in all direc-
tions to the boders, like the spokes of a
wheel We will send out men to collect
the product, whether it be much or little,
every day, and sell it to the best markets
we could get. When the colony is es-
tablished, we intend to go to the aims
houses and take the pick of the inmates.
Those left behind would be taken later,
if they behaved themselves. The land
would cost each colonist about 81 per
week, which would insure the capitalist
fair rate of interest on his money. 1t

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The Committee Reject All the Bids For
Auditorium Galleries.

A meeting of the committee on public
buildings was held yesterday noon to
consider the galleries for the auditorium.
1t was voted to reject all the bids as be-
ing too high.
1t was ascertained that a temporary gal
lery could be erected that would accom-
modate some five hundred seats, which
would cost the city only some five hun
dred dollars. When the Musical Festival
managers lave decided upon the dates for
the festival then it will be matter of
but few days to establish the temporary
gallery, if needed. Consequently no &C
ton was taken on the temporary gallery
yesterday.
The contract for the iron work for the
Emerson street school house was awarded
to the Thomas, Laughlin Company of Port
land.
The Mayor and Alderman Leighton
were appointed committee to see about
placing fence around the auditorium,
and building chimney therein. The
necessity of a fence was shown from the
fact that only recently a horse took a
fancy to walking through one of the side
doors in the building and taking nap on
the armory floor.
Some other matters of slight moment
were attended to.

Booth fuckers visit attracted the biggest
crowd to Bennett Park since the Begin
ming of the Salvation Army camp meet
ing. During his address on 1.-The Social
Problem" he said that there are 5000, 900
of people in this country who are in
chronic state OF want. This estimate is
based on the number who daily apply for
charity.
81 My blood fairly tingles sometimes, :"
he said, "as I look at the great buildi ngs
and luxuries of the big cities When the
city of Chicago offered employment to
men in shovelling snow from the streets
for chance to work out in the cold,
without suitable clothing, for the munif1-
cent sum of 81 per day. A poor girl dying
in an attic said, "Never mind, mother,
there will be one mouth less to feed"
Another poor woman know said on her
death bed, Well, thank God, there will
lie no shirts to wash this week. This
condition ought not to exist. It ought
to be wiped out from our nation. think
the system of gathering our poor into big
institutions is wrong. l think the in
quisitorial system is wrong. We should
not ask, Is he worthy or unworthyP' but

ask is he worthy or unworthy; we help
him to his feet. I know city not far
from here where so much money was
spent looking up the character of the
people who applied to the society for aid
that there was little or no money left to
help them with. ="
The General then went into discussion
of the proposed colonization plan, which
be said was the Salvation Army's remedy
for existing evils. In an interview after
the address he told Of his recent trip to
find suitable place for the proposed
colony. During this trip he said he saw
what appeared to be an ideal place. This
was in Arizona. He called it the poor
mans paradise. He has not decided def
nitely on spot, however He expects
to carry the investigations further He
has interested the railroads, and they have
offered him transportation to search for
location along their routes. He says he
will not begin the colony until he has
$3.50, 900. On his recent trip he went to
the upper Arizona Valley first. This is

Fryeburg, August 1O.-We are going on
with our programme uninterruptedly.
Nothing could be more perfect than the
weather we are having from day to day
Ever since the assembly opened we have
been highly favored with delightfully."-
cool; sunshiny days and moonlit nights.
The grove being situated on the east
banks of the Saco river with the noun
tains few miles to the west makes the
scenery ideal AS we sat on the river
bank last evening at sunset watching the
sun as he descended to the portals Of the
day, attended as usual by those white
clouds which gradually assume such
beautiful colors, first appearing as a
golden fire, then as the sun drops below
the horizon slowly fading through red
to pink, to yellow and then to a silver
gray with mother-o of pearl tints, we could
not fail to admire the whole panorama
which nature was spreading before us,
and especially the reflections of all these
exquisite color effects in the silver river.
These reflections were intensified as to
size and the effect was very remarkable
especially in the reds.
You remember that Thoreaus says, cit
is only a rejecting mind that sees reflec-
tions." But with such river in the line
of ones vision, shallow and common
place thoughts must give way no matter
who the observer may be.
Besides this wonderful book of nature
which is spread open before us here, the
programme offers great treats in the way
of concerts, lectures, etc. Did you ever
have the good fortune to listen to Mr.
Wolf Fries? If not don't miss the first
opportunity that offers. He is a wonder.
The dear old gentleman is over 70 years
of age and has been playing the cello all
his life. He will hold you spell bound.
His instrument becomes alive, as it were,
in his hands and his whole being is put
into his performance. At one time you
can hardly keep your seat, at another you
are listening almost breathless, motion
less, under the spell.

1t was difficult at first to decide whether
we were in some far distant cline or in
fairy land; but soon decided that it must
be fairy land for we know the fairies,
that quiet gentle folk, inhabit the moon
light, and no place could be better fitted
for their abode than this lovely grove by

Talking with Waterville Mail reporter
about electric railways Mr.. I. G. Libby,
one of the chief promoters of them, said !:
81 ain very busy as my company is about
to open the Portsmouth, Kittery, and
York street railway, fifteen miles of
which are now completed. This is the
biggest problem yet handled in the form
of street railway in New England, some
of the draw backs to the carrying through
of the building of the road having been
the construction of one and half miles
of trestle bridges and the blasting of
lodges at cost of $4,000.
can idea that has been generated as
one of the plans of the company is the
construction of free steel bridge from
Badger S Island, Kittery, to the heart OF
Portsmouth, connecting Maine and New
Hampshire by a much needed artery OF
communication along which the electric
cars will pass, thus making an tunbroken
connection between the two famous
beaches, Rye and York"
In regard to the Lewiston and Auburn
street railway Mr.. Libby said it would be
turned over to the new management on
Monday. He is very much pleased with
the deal and declares it will do more fol-
the State of Maine than any other electric
road system in existence, and that. al
though involving at least a million dol
lars, he believes it can be easily financed.
AS a result of it the public can enjoy a
fine ride from Lewiston and Auburn to
Bath and the sea in less than year from
now.
In regard to the Penobscot Central road
Mr.. Libby said a beginning had been
made through the streets of Bangor and
during the winter steel rails, ties and
other construction material will be located
along the line of the road so that in the
early spring big crew can push the road
to completion.

discourse yesterday afternoon was on
Browning. In these times when Brown
ing is so much read and studied it was
delightful to listen to one who so
thoroughly understands and appreciates
this great, but to many, obscure, poet,
who in his later days scared to the lofties
heights of noble faith, belief and love of
God.
