A Good Horse Gone to his Rest.

Prince is dead. He had attained the good
horse age of thirty years, and his intirmities
We're such that it was merciful thing to
close his existence painlessly. During the
past summer he had been used about two
hours day, which kept him in fair condi-
ton, but the Sunday rest in his stall stiffen-
ed his limbs, and with the coming of cold
weather, when he must have been kept
within doors, he would have become per-
tectly helpless. He made a good appearance
and retained much of his spirit until the
last. The day before ne was taken TO his
hnal resting place i'll the country he was
photographed in harness by Frank Blod gett
and the picture shows as stylish looking an
animal as one could wish to see. Prince
came to Belfast when two or three years old
and was owned by Edgar Paul He sold
him To \, A. Small, and he to Dana B
Southworth, who used him as a driving
horse. 1t is said that Mr.. S. drove in from
Riverside cottage, Quan tabacook, to the
Southworth farm in 10 minutes; and then
and later Prince had few rivals as a roader.
Nineteen Years ago, when Prince was II
years old, he was bought by A. A. Howes
and had since been used in the business and
as driving horse, and it would be difficult
to fill his place in either capacity. Did
space permit much could be said as to his
intelligence. He could be sent to and from
the honse or store without a driver, would
turn and back up for load bv simply
being spoken to, and did not require to be
hitched. All who had to do with him re-
garded him as a marvel of horse, and his
late owners and their families had real af-
fection for old Prince and mourn his depart
ure,

Bangor to RockIand by Trolley.

There seems to be a belief in electric rail-
way circles that 1898 is to see g great devel-
opment of the trolley lines in Bangor and
vicinity. The Bangor, Hampden & Winter
port line is now completed from the city to
Hampden Lower Corner, distance of about
six miles, and cars are running with a trans
fer over the Sowadabscook stream while a
bridge is being built. This bridge has granite
piers and steel superstructure, and will be
completed in a few weeks. The officials of
the company say that the line will be built
to Winterport next year, and that they ex-
pect before long to reach Stockton Springs,
where is located the summer resort of Fort
Point. Then, they think, the Rockland &
Camden road will come along to Belfast and
possibly to Searsport, making, with little
further extension-of the Bangor road, con-
tinuous trolley line from Bangor to Rock land

The Short Lobster Law.

PORTLAND, Oct II. 1t is suspected that
certain people down the bay have for some
time been violating the short lobster law by
surreptitiously boiling the fish and sending
the meat to market ont of the shell. AT the
present time about 5000 pounds of lobster
meat is disposed of in this city every week
and the dealers figure about six Holsters to
the pound of meat.
1t has been decided to make a test case OF
the legality of selling lobster meat without
first showing that the lobster was of legal
length. The outcome of the case will be
watched with the deepest interest both by
the general public and the fishermen.

We live in a country of which the princi
nal scnnroa ia stnmach trouble

We live in a country of which the princi-
pal scourge is stomach trouble.
1t is more widespread than any other dis
ease, and, very nearly, more dangerous.
One thing that makes it so dangerous is
that it is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it would be
more feared, more easily cured, less univer-
sal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it goes to
the root of the trouble as no other medicine
does. The pure, harmless, curative herbs
and plants, of which it is composed. are
what render it 80 certain and, at the same
time, so gentle cure.
1t helps and strengthens the stomach,
purifies and tones up the system.
