POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Senator Wellington has finally done Wnab
he threatened some weeks ago AT the
meeting OF the State committee yester-
day he laid down the reins of goyernn,ent
and severed his connection with the State
organization. The Senator appears to have
been as ungracious as possible and accom-
panied his resignation with n statement
that he believed the Republican party was
doomed to defeat in its coHing struggle,
The remainder of his explanation was
In the nature of n eulogy on what he had
done and what had been accomplished since
he undertook 10 run the machine. Not
having been able longer To stersi The tide
OF opposition that has risen above and
engulfed him, there WAS little else for
the Senator To do but resign. In an in
teryiew the Senator is quoted as saying
that the party was wrecked through the
greed for patronage, but MIR. Wellington
is little ambiguous in that he does not
make 1t clear whose greed it was that

COOP FOR EASTERN MAINE.
Possibility of Additional Mall Service Be
tween Portland and Bangor.

1t has become apparent to the officials
of the post office department that addi-
tionaI mail service is needed between this
city and Bangor, and the feasibility of
placing an extra postal car no the Port
land and Bangor route is now being con-
sidered. Owing to the change Of time on
the Maine Central which went into effect
October 4th the mail connection between
Portland and the Provinces has been de-
stroyed. 1T is now necessary to send
through pouches from Boston. Portland
and other large places on the train leay-
ing Boston at q. m. and leaving Port
land at 1929, and arriving in Bangor in
time to make connections with the trains
running east This is the,only connection
that can be made from Portland to the
Provinces by the day trains The smaller
places on the line from Portland to Ban
gor cannot make this connection on the
day mail trains now and a letter posted
at any intermediate station for the regu-
lar mail train running east, which leaves
Portland at 100 O'Clock will now have to
lay over in Bangor IA or Is hours.
It Is now proposed to place the go foot
mail car on the train leaving Portland at
1929, on which the through pouches are
now carried and placing an additional
combination car on the route between
Portland and Bangor to be run on the
train leaving Portland at 100. This car
will do all of the local work and will
practically give all of the intermediate
stations between Portland and Bangor
three western mails day, where they
now are getting two mails from the west
every day.
In return from Bangor the sixty foot
mail car will leave that city at 7.15 a. M,
for Portland, while the combination mail
car will leave Bangor for Portland at LIS
p. M, getting here at 5.45 O'Clock. This
arrangements will necessitate the appoint.
ment of three additional men and will
give Eastern Maine the best mail service
it has ever had.

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
CAT the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on isright
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise In
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were we'll and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. 8. WRoTEN, Farming
ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.

to the Food Division.
He stated that no had secured twenty samples

it was less harmful than genuine new whiskey.
