Cold Weather
Brings Catarrh.

Though the disagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and
disagreeable weather aggravates the
disease and it is during the winter sea-
son that its severest form is felt. Each
succeeding year seems to intensity the
disease, so that it gradually fastens its
hold upon the sufferer with grasp that
becomes firIner each season.
Catarrh often appears as only a cold at
frs, and is hardly noticed. But gradu-
ally the cold returns, and it is more
difficultto cure and stays longer than for
merly. These symptoms cannot be mis-
taken; they mark the first temperance of a
disease that will develop in severity and
stubbornness, and which it is impossible
to cure with the local treatment of sprays,
washes, and similar applications. Being
disease of the blood, only blood
remedy can have the slightest effect
upon it. S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc) is the
only cure for Catarrh, because it is the
only blood remedy which goes to the
seat of all obstinate and deep-seated
cases, and forces out the disease.

chant of Spartanburg, S. c., writes:

M'KiNLEY TO STAND BY NEGROES.
Tells Southerners Who Protest He Will Con-

S0utn.
Washington, Sept. 17.-President
Mckinley announces to day that the
attempted assassination of Isaac n.
Loftin, the negro postmaster at
HogansvilIe, Ga, will not deter him
from appointing colored men to Office
in the South if they are qualified for
the position and their recommends
tiops are satisfactory.
This de termination WAS indicated
to a party of Southern politicians
who called at the Executive Mansion
and made the suggestion that, 10
view of the hostility manifested to-
ward negro office-holders, it might
be well to refrain from making any
more such selections 1t was init
mated that there has been no abaie
ment in the south Of hostility to
negroes who are g ven Federal posi-
tions, and that all who assume off
clal functions will be prosecuted.
perhaps, to the extent of as sassina
ton, if necessary to secure their
removal
The President plainly stated that
there is no discrimination made by
the Constitution or laws against
negroes in any section of the United
States. All are alike citizens, and
the color of man cannot constitute
bar to his holding office il his
character and accomplishments en-
title him to the respect of the COM
muDity in which he resides.
MIR Mckinley, however, said moth
ing about his appointment of the
notorious Demas as Naval Officer at
New Orleans in fulfilment of Hanna =

the protests of the respectable peo
pie of the city, regardless OF party,
against the appointment.

TRUST HAS AN INNING.

Duty paid on August refined
sugar, $3O9,G76.
Total duties for August, $662. 49S
Loss in duties in August, $l,475,
$40 20.
The sugar trust is beginning to
reap the rich harvest it will gather
from the Dingley law. The impor-
tations for August have just been
collected at the treasury depart
meut, and the reports show that the
profits of the trust for the month
are enormous, reaching nearly ST.,
100000. Most OF this profit is due
to the anticipatory importation of
raw sugar made by the trust Thus
the statements made during the
summer that the sugar trust was
gathering in the crops of the world
have been proved.
Nothing can prevent the trust
from piling up the enormous gains
each month until next spring. 1t
has cornered the raw sugar of the
world and has enough stored away
to supply the demand for 6 moths.
Conditions might have been different
had the republicans in charge of the
tariff bill had the independence to
follow the suggestion of Secretary
Gage in the closing hours of con-
gress. He advised laying internal
revenue of cent pound on all
sugar refined in this country for the
remainder Of the year 1897. But
the trust was too strong and the
suggestion was thrown contemptu
ously aside. Consequently the gov
ernment loses revenue of nearly
$2O,OO0,00O end the trust profits
accordingly.
The great profits which the trust
made in 1894, when thu Wilson bill
became law, are insignificant com
pared with the profits yielded under
the present law. The importations
OF raw sugar during the first month
OF the Wilson law amounted 51,SO0,
900 pounds. This difference in i'm
portations is not more marked than
the difference in the amount of the
trusts profits under the Wilson law
and the new law.
Since January, 1896. the monthly
importations of raw sugar have
varied from 550,00O,OOO pounds to
l72,OO0,o00 pounds, excluding the
mouths of excessive imports.
The importation of refined sugar
Tor the month of August is practi
cally normal. This indicates that
the demand for foreign refined sugar
il steady.
Ihs treasury department was
much surprise d that the importation
Of refined sugar was nearly as large
as that of the raw.

Stolen Bicycle Recovered.

Mr.. Harry Rolfe left his bicycle on
Preble street, near Oxford, last Monday
evening, while he went into store near
by on business. When he came out he
discovered that some one had stolen his
wheel while he was gone The matter
was reported to the police and descrip-
ton of the wheel given. Officer Pillsbury
was put on the case but failed to discover
any trace of the stolen wheel until last
Thursday night, when he was notified by
Mr.. Vim. Pierce, who lives on Green
street, that wheel had been left in his
yard last Monday night by a young man
and had not been called for. Mr.. Pierce
gave a description of the wheel and said a
young man had ridden up to his house
that night and asked If he might leave
his wheel for short time. Mr.. Pierce
told him to put it in the yard and it
would be all right As the man failed to
call for it the next morning Mr.. Pierce
put it in the house and waited for the
owner to call. The man failed to show
up however, and it is thought he is the
same party that took the wheel, but
probably got scared and did not dare to
call for it. Mr.. Re life was asked to call
and identify the wheel, which he did to
the entire satisfaction Of all.

OBITUARY.
Henry S. Edwards.

Henry S. Edwards was born in
oorham on the 10th day of January, $780,
ana died at Ithaca, New York, in the
early morning of Decoration day.
henry Edwards kindly, genial nature
never made an enemy and no one ever
spoke unkindly of him He was very
popular with young people, in whose
company much of his time as teacher of
mt .ssl was spent. His pupils had the
MarllissG aHectlon for him, as was evil
denced by their many testimonials of
words ana gifts. Indeed, by his many
genial traits, he made himself endeared
TO all, Doth Old and young, and will ever
be held IN most affectionate remembrance.
Al an early age he chose music for his
lie work, being impelled thereto as are
all the yotaries of this divine art. by the
love of melody and sweet concord that
was born within his SOUL While not, per-
haps, entitled to rank among the great
ones, he was a thorough conscientious
musician, enthusiastically devoted to his
art, and ever striving to raise its STANDARD
in the community in which he lived. In
his prime, he was good player of both
the piano and organ As an organist,
especially he was considered master
bringing to the Interpretation of sacred
music a rare quality of tenderness and
devotion.
His first church organ, was taken at
the age of fifteen, and from that time on
until he was sixty seven years old with
the exception of three years spent in
Europe, he was never without a position
as organist. He played the organ in High
street church for twenty 1.-TWO continuous
years, and old DR.. Chickering who was
pastor of the church during the entire
period, used to say the choir and organ
the last year or two of his life his hand
retained much of it's old cunning, and he
many hours he spent at the piano were a
source of great solace and comfort to
him.
The last sad rites were performed at
| Unity church, Ithaca, on Wednesday
afternoon and the interment was in Oak
| Forest Cemetery.

The Episcopal Missionary "Band."

To the Editor Of the Press:
1t appears from your report of the
meeting of the Maine Episcopal Mission
airy Society that there is "a falling off,
of contributions, specially from the large
parishes, in some cases one-half. Hard
times" are assigned as one reason, but l
apprehend that want of confidence is an
other, and stronger. About half of the
missionaries constitute "the Catholic
party" who have no real constituency,
or clientele, in their several towns, and
the number of their nominal adherents
steadily diminishes. The fact is, in not a
single instance could they live a year or
six months on their own account. OF
the ten sustained by the Domestic Mis-
sionary Society of New York, one-half
at least are a source of weakness to the
Diocese and the Protestant Episcopal
church. Yet these are the men who as
pire to rule and run the Diocese, and
discounting the years the Bishop has to
live, are already in the field, and have
been for year or two, canvassing for
votes to secure a successor who will be
one of themselves. A. DALTON.
