DANGER IN SODA.
Seri ous Results Sometimes Follow Its
 Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in it's place and indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but 1t was never intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such win some day regret it.
 We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach q habit which thousands of people prac- tice almost daily, and one which is fraught with danger; moreover, the soda only gives temporary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
 The soda acts as a mechanical irri- tant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are on record where 1t accumulated in the intestines, caus- ing death by inflammation or periton- its.
 Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara- tion sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the na- tural acids, peptones and digestive ele- ments essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system.
 Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach Arrangements and finds them certain cure not only for sour stomach, but by promptly digest ing the food they create healthy ap- petite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness, and will be found reliable in any stom- ach trouble except cancer of the stom- ach. All druggists sell Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets at 50cts per package.
 A little book describing all forms of stomach weakness and their cure mail ed free by addressing the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich.

"yEw ESslAyD.s. REPORT
Second Year Under Consolidated Manage
 meut

ment.
 The report of the New England Rail- road company for the year ended June 90 1S97 shows operations which may be summarized thus:
 Gross receipts, $5,237, ,19O; total net in come, $1,S29, ,163; charges, $1,571,2 ,25S; de- felt, $242,o94. This result is declared mot encouraging" but better results in the year to come are bespoken. The cost of the road was reduced S2S during the year-by assets received from receivers, s960,S09; by additional assets realized and not named, $ll4,445; by par value of Providence and Spring field railroad bonds -$T50,000, and ot New England Equipment company $ mortgage, s337 ,0O0; by sale of terminal lands, $541 ,2S2, and old material on the same, $19,952-in all $2,72S,4S7, less s4S6,- 659 for land and improvements, etc., leaving net as above, $2,236, S2S.
 The reorganization committee, the re- port says, has not rendered final ac- count, but the report does not say why. The company has received $1,923,5C0 for terminal lands on the west side of Fort Point channel, and has eXtinguished liens underlying the title to the same to the amount of $914,000 with the same. Expenditures from the same for perma- nent improvements have been $46S,2lI, leaving a balance of $541, ,2S2. This is available only for the elimination of grade crossings, to new freight houses and to similar improvement of property under the mortgage.
 The completion of the new Union sta- ton at Providence will entail an in creased charge upon freight and pas senger traffic.
 It is recommended that portion of the line into Springfield be abandoned in order to avoid spending $5O0,00O tc abolish grade crossing.
 Details of earnings and expenses show a large falling off during the year as follows:

Return of Yawl Cocheco.

PROVIDENCE, Apr. II. A thrilling trag-
edy of the seas, the report of which star
tied this city last winter, was recalled to-
day. The l8-foot yawl Cocheco, which
went from here to Florida last fall, and
from which young Clarence Gladding of
Hospital St, this city, was drowned at Flo
rida Keys, has returned. She was brought
back by Com. Hermann of the Corinthian
yacht club, and now lies at anchor off the
clubhouse in South Providence. Gladding
was lost in an attempt to swim to the
lighthouse, the Cocheco at the time being
without provisions and unable to make
port in terrific weather. Hermann was in
a critical condition when rescued, and he
was taken to the hospital.
Hermann sailed the voyage homeward-
bound all alone, and he says it was sad
and lonesome trip, with weather at times
that was tempetuous and of the hurricane
order. The Cocheco withstood the seas
and stood up like big ship most of the
time. The return trip was made in about
two months.

Death of Capt. Benjamin SWEET.

Capt. Benjamin SWEET, formerly of Ban
gor, died in Portland April 18th at the
Home for Aged Men, at the advanced age
of 80 years, months and n days. Capt.
SWEET kept his health up to within short
time, being able to walk down town few
months ago, but lately he failed rapidly
and died of old age, which caused gem
eral breaking up of his system.
Capt. SWEET was born in Hampden, and
was one of a family of thirteen children,
eight of whom are now living, their ages
running from 10 to "a years. The oldest
of the family is Mrs. Rowe of Bangor,
who is at present 81 years old. Capt
SWEET went to Orrington when he was II
years old and remained there until he was
p, when he went to Bangor and learned
the carpenter trade.
Capt. SWEET was for many wears promi-
nent in politics. He first voted the Wing
ticket, but after that was Democrat to
the end of his life. For many years he
had charge of the Bangor Arsenal. He
held the office of deputy sheriff. He was
also for some years in the Bangor Custom
House. In 1S49 he went to California in
search of gold and was therefore one of
the original '49ers. For the past twenty
five years he had made his home in Port
land and for several years had been an in
mate of the Home for Aged Men.
Capt. Swett's wife died some seven
years ago, at the age of IS years. He
leaves one son, Mr. B. H. SWEET, with H

daughters, Mrs. James d. Sawyer of Port.

joined them at the annual reunion and ban
quet OF the Maine Veteran Association of
Massachusetts, in the American House,
Boston, last Thursday night. and the result
was happy family reunion of comrades,
with no outside guests with formal speeches
to chill the gathering Of friends. The presi-
dent, Gen. G. HI. Nye, presided, and an
Introduction to the evenings intellectual
feas., announced that he should call upon
each comrade, and each was expected to re-
spond with speech, song or whistle. There
was to he no limit to the length of the whis-
tie, but speeches We're limited to five min
utes and the result was a lots of fun, and
not a little wisdom condensed into short
periods. The singing of "America'' by all
present started the bali rolling and then

Madame Pote In New York.

The Professional Woman League
gathered in full force last week at its club
rooms, No. 1909 Broadway, New York, to
, hear Nine. Aurilla Colcord Pote, the ply
sical culture director Of the league. talk
upon exercise, muscles, grace and health
Madame Pote was formerly of Bangor
ana IS known to many of our readers
The New Y DIRK Evening Mail and Express
says:
The lecturer herself is visible lecture
OF the most convincing type. More than
a fully matured woman, she is as light
and graceful upon her feet as young
athlete, and can perform thousand exer-
ciseS involving the use of nearly every
muscle with a swftness and artistic beauty
that suggests the play of leopards and
panthers. She illustrated the inter rela-
tionship of mind and body by the quick
ness with which trained muscles respond
to the call of the will, and the slowness of
the opposite kind. In this way the
woman with the we'll drilled body and
disciplined muscles saved in the course of
the year an immense amount Of time and
performed much more and better work
than her sister who had not applied edu-
catlonal treatment to her own frame
The lecture was of high educational
value and was very warmly applauded.
Mrs A. NJ. Palmer, the president, at
the close of the lecture made a very
happy speech; thanking Nine. Pote on be-
half of the club and also giving a brief
account to the league of the success won
by the many classes which were in session
this year. Among those present were
Mrs. Rachel McAuley, Miss Sarah Palmer,

The millions of dollars worth of for
elen goods rushed in from abroad by i'm
porters who had ne regard for the pros
perty OF the Government or of the work
ingmen, will prove a serious handicap to
the workings of the Dingley law. The
fact that enormous quantities of goods in
excess of present demands have been
brought in, will, of course, check the i'm
portations OF the first few months after
the enactment Of the Dingley law, and at
the same time reduce the demands upon
She home manufacturers for their goods.
People cannot, therefore, expect that the
new law will be at once effective. either
as a revenue producer OF reviver of in
dustlies, because of the enormous impor-
tatious already made in anticipation of
its enactment. But for the retrospective
clause OF the Diugley bill, they would
have been much greater before the final
enactment Of the law.

one hundred thousand dollars d day is
neat sum to add to the earnings Of the
working people of one State in six months
time. The Labor Bureau of Pennsyl-
vania reports one hundred thousand more
men employed in that State to- day than
were SO employed prior to the election of
Mckinley. This means one hundred thou
sand dollars day increased earnings by
them, to say nothing Of the increased
wages paid to those who were employed,

by the number Of States, or by their pro-
