A LONELY WINTERS VIGIL.
Widow of Light Honse Keeper Remains
at Post All Winter Absolutely Alone. :

Boston, June "a special to the
Transcript from North Sydney, G. B.,
says: A tragic story from the lonely light
house on Great Bird Rock far out in the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, fifty miles north
east of the Magdalen Islands, has been
brought here by the schooner Rob Roy,
just in from the islands. The supply
steamer of the Dominion government
which visits the light house qtiarter ly,
called at the rock on May s. The only
person there was the wife of the light
house keeper, Angus G. Campbell. Camp
bell and two seal hunters had been carried
out to sea on the ice three months ago
and probably persisted. Mrs. Campbell
ever since has kept her lonely vigil on
the rocks tending the lights nightly and
watching for her husband by day.
The skipper of the supply steamer asked
Mrs. Campbell how she managed to get
through the winter. She said; ~ can
hardly tell. 1 know that have kept the
light burning. 1t was d dreadful expert
ence all alone on rock. I might just as
well have been in the middle Of the At
lantic so far as the prospect of getting re-
lief was concerned Although I have
plenty of provisions do not think 1 have
eaten more than one meal day. My hair
has turned gray. I have seen no living
thing except seal birds and seals. 1 fancy
was just beginning to go crazy when
you came

A POISONED LIVER.
DON'T KEEP POISON IN YOUR BODY
LONGER THAN YOU HAVE TO.

II your stomach poisons your liver the conse-
quences may be serious.
What poisons arise in your stomach come
from undigested food which has decomposed
there. They are absorbed by your blood and
go to your liver, where they paralyze its func-
lions and make you bilious.
Finally they go into the blood again and are
carried all over the body, dlsordering your diff
ferent organs, and perhaps making you Danger
ously sick.
This Is the origin of many diseases which are
not always known for what they are.
The poisons of undigested lood can only be
got rid OF by the use of a purifying, strengthen
ing digestive tonic, like the Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
A few doses of this wonderful cordial will
soon clear away all undigested, fermentng
poisonous substances, restore your appetite
aid you to digest your food. purify your liver
and blood of all dangerous poisons, ana re-
stores you to perfect health.
1t will cure biliousness. indigestion. nausea
headache, dizziness. mental depression, weak
ness fever. hatulence, constipation, loss ofap-
petite, bad taste in mouth, stomach-ache,
anaemia, rheumatism, etc., where otner medi-
cines will barely give relief

features of this most pleasant session of

special cars where the evening session of
the society took place.

part of the. Portland physicians were Drs.

committee arranged for it and the visiting
needles were loud in their praise of the
Portland doctors hospitality.

Durrant's Last Chance.

San Francisco, CAL, June ST heodore
Durrant seems to be breaking down. T he
warden was at once notified of the change
in Durrant's demeanor. Orders were
issued to increase the death watch and
maintain the vigil with greater care than
before.
Durrants father carried to the con-
denned man yesterday the news that the
United States District court had denied
the writ of habeassscorpus sand that the
next fight for life must be made at Wash
ington before the supreme court.
A special messenger will hurry across
the continent but he cannot reach Wash
ington befon next Wednesday. He will
have the greatest good fortune if he re-
ceives an audience from the supreme court
that day. 1t is probable that hearing
will not be granted before Thursday Of
next week. and on the following day Dur
rant must die, if the national tribunal
does not exert its authority.

MAINE INTERscHoLAsTIc MEET.
At Bowdoin College Track Next satur
day.

The P. FL. S. athletes did their last
hard training yesterday afternoon on the
Promenade, where they have been work
ing for the past month under Coach Gar
celon.
Captain Chase will take his twenty-five
best men to Brunswick Saturday and will
endeavor to uphold the @honofs IF the
school as the athletic teams of '95 and s6
have done by winning the championship.
There is great rivalry between Bangor
and Portland both schools having won
first honors twice. This years meet de-
cides the ownership of the silver cup in
case one of these schools win.
1t is not safe to say who the point win
ners will be, for so many dark horses
show up. Last year Coburn Classical In
stitute competed for the first time, and
made remarkable showing in the dashes
and hurdles.
For Portland, the men who are looked
upon for places in the dashes are Cookson,
Noyes and Sullivan. They have no easy
men to run with in Furbush of Brun-
swick, who beat Merrill of Bowdoin at
the College Field day and Hunt of last
years Bangor team. Watson and Merrill
are doing the hurdles in quick time.
Captain Chase has made good time in
the quarter and half, and will surely take
place in both of these events.
The meet is to be held on the new cinder
track of Bowdoin college. A large crowd
will go down with Portland s colors and
cheer the boys on. Half fare has been
given by the Maine Central and in case a
hundred go down q special train will
leave Brunswick at 80 after the meet.

Boston, June 3.-Boston won from
Cleveland today in a short decisive game
that was uninteresting after the first few

Westbrook Seminary won from Our
Boys of Portland yesterday afternoon.
The features of the game were the batting
by Ney, the fielding done by the Semi
narys and the catch of high fly by
French. Knight played in new position
but put up good game. The first time
at the bat he was hit in the head by a
pitched ball which accounts for two OF
the errors he made. In the ninth inning
the Seminarys got little wild and al :
lowed the visitors to score five runs. But
for these the score would have stood 10 to
2. In spite of that the game was a worthy
one, and reflects great credit on the Semi
narys.

were agreed to as reported, except 1854
(cross cut saws which went over at the
request Of Mr.. Allison.
b A contest was made on paragraph 165
screws. Mr.. Foraker of Ohio answered
some of the objections made by Mr.. Vest
and Mr.. Gray to the proposed rates. He
sail the manufacture of screws was ex-
tensiye in Ohio and he knew the rates to
be absolutely necessary to carry ON the
business
Mr.. Vest moved a reduction of the rates
throughout the grades OF screws, MS rates
being substantially those of the present

The bill was laid aside at O'Clock and
Mr. White asked Mr.. Allison as to his
plans for going on with the sugar sched-
ule, which was but four pages beyond the
point reached.
Mr.. Allison said no plan had been
made to have the schedule go over. But
much would depend upon the health of
Mr.. Aldrich who was now confined to
his room.
81 think all will agree said Mr.. Vest,
that we ought to dispose of that sched-
ule without any delay. 1t is an irritat-
ing and nasty subject, although sweet
one, full of scandal and suspicion and |
want it settled and out of the Senate.
Mr.. Pettigrew wanted the considera-
ton of the sugar schedule fixed for next
Wednesday. No agreement was reached,
however.
At Mr.. Allison's request it was agreed
to meet at IL a. m. tomorrow.

over it's defeat by Portland Wednesday.
From a city that had been a tailender in
the New England league for two years
that doesn't come with good grace. If the
Augusta's percentage doesn't fall below
what it is with yesterdays defeat in

There is a colored gentleman lurking in
the wood pile somewhere. The citizens
have supported the club better than
any team in the league has been sup

good profit from the money invested. 1t
is hard to believe that John Irwin, with
his experience as a ball manager would
allow such a state of affairs if he could
help it. Tauntonians are paying in the
money and want it used in strengthening
the club and not to give private snap to
the owners. Irwin is all right and we'll
