WOMEN NEED NOT BE DISCOUR
AGED.


The nervous tension under which most
of our women constantly live affects the
female organism seriously. Heavy house
hold burdens, social gayeties, work in
some commercial establishment, any OF
these duties seem impossible to women
who are i'll and yet they keep up for q
time under pressure of the demands upon
them. When they do break down, the
advice and treatment they receive from
their family physician don't go to the
root of the trouble and they get no bet
ter. They are discouraged, worn out,
tired of life The great specialist IL
vomen's diseases, DR.. Greene, of Nervura
fame, "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass.
has shown thousands of women who
thought themselves hopeless invalids the
way to health. His office is open to all
women for free consultation and advice,
or If you will write him about your case,
he will advise you by mail absolutely free
OF all cost and confdeDtially. The
glorious remedies discovered by this pro-
found physician are an invaluable boon
to women. 1t costs nothing to be put on
the road to health, land all ailing women
should write DR.. Greene at once.

NOT LIKELY TO sTARvE.
Deering Man in Command of One Of thu
Ice Bound Whaling Steamers.

One of the friends Of Captain George B.
Leavitt Of Deering in command of the
whaling steamer Newport, now ice bound
In the Arctic ocean writes the PRESS as
follows:
The notices in the Portland papers
concerning the ice bound whalers are not
exactly true. Captain Tilton of the
steamer Alexander, one of the fleet of the
Pacific Steam Whaling company of San
Francisco has broken his way through
the ice and brings correct report. There
are five steamers frozen up in the ice off
Point Barrows, but although short Of
provisions are in no danger whatever of
starving, as they are only few miles
from shore and game is abundant. The
names of the steamers frozen up are,
Belvedere, Fearless, Rosario, Area, and
the steam tender Jeanne, the last two
pamed belonging to the Pacific Steam
Whaling company.
The steamer Newport mentioned in
the reports of the papers as being one of
those for whom starvation was feared is
commanded by Captain George B.
Leavitt, son of Mrs. S. S. Knight of
Deering, and native of this city He
was to come home about the Goth of this
month leaving the Arctic about the 18th
of October and arriving in San Francisco
about the 9Th, or 10th of this month. The
other vessels were frozen in about the LIST
of October and it is possible that he may
be detained in the Arctic until the spring
but there is no danger of starvation or
other i'll as there are five vessels winter
ing at Herschels Island with provisions
for three years and the steamer Newport
is either at that point or on her way
home. Whichever way it is there Ia no
danger to be apprehended for her, only the
many friends of Captain Leavitt who
have looked forward to meeting him
again this fall may be denied the pleasure
until later, although Captain Williams Of
San Francisco, who is familiar with
Arctic whaling says that he has known
the ice to break up as late as November,
SO there is still possibility that those
steamers frozen up m ay get home.''

THE TRAMP QUESTION.
Thirty Days Imprisonment Course n
Longer Effective In Waterville.

The city officials are again confronted
With the question of what shall be done
10 rid the people of the city of the tramp
nuisance. AS 1t will be remembered, last
spring, the authorities decided to arrest
every tramp found in the limits of the
city and send each to jail for term OF 80
Gays. This action was effective in clear
ing the city of tramps for the whole sum-
mer, as the tramp, like every other indi
v1dual, enjoys the open sunlight of the
warm summer months, and to be shut
up Within prison walls during that sea-
son OF the year was what every one Of the
fraternity dreaded most of all.
During the summer there have been
very few in the city, but now as the cold
weather is approaching. the notices which
are posted about the railroad yards and
in other conspicuous places that all
tralnps will be sent to Jail far 80 days
serve an opposite purpose to what they
have during the summer. Now that the
cold weather has come the vagabonds
would rather like to be assured of good
warm bed and regular food rations for a
month, and as result they are becoming
AAoIo ouu mOEo numerous, ana IL Is not
uncommon for eight or ten Of them to
show up at the police station for nights
lodging.
Several new plans are being considered,
but the one most likely to be adopted is
that of sending the tramp to jail for 90
instead of 30 days. There are very few
who care to go down for SO long a term,
and it is probable that If this plan is
adopted the tramp fraternity will be as
careful about being caught in the city
limits during the winter as they have
been during the summer months.
To those who make the argument that
the county ought not to be called upon
to support the tramps at the county iail,
the answer is made, and seems to be
reasonable one. that it is far prefera BILE
to have the vagabonds supported there
where they are safe than to allow them to
be at large, whers they are likely to be
setting buildings on fire, frightening
women and children and committing
thefts and burglaries, and all the while
getting their living out of the public here
and there over the county. It is likely
that the police department. will receive
instructions of some sort in regard to deal
ing with the tramp question at the regu.
lar city meeting on Wednesday evening
of this week.-Waterville Mail.

Court. This was an action to recover the
sum of $50 for services as detective Mt

ant employed Mr.. Perry to go to the polls
there and act for the Democrats, seeing
that no one voted the Republican ticket
except those who were entitled to. De-
PENDANT refused to pay on the ground that
he was not liable and that the Demoo rat
