mcnt 1t Will Be Found Invaluable.

Seven miles out on the Canaan road,
between Skowhegan and Pittsfield,
over so years ago, a young couple set
tied on a farm little distance beyond
the present residence of Governor
Powers. At that time our Governor
was not in existence, communication
by rail was thought impossible, over
half of Maine was wilderness, and
if anyone had predicted that the Pine
Tree State would be represented ir
Congress by some of the greatest in
tellects which our Republic has pro-
duced, that prediction would have been
looked upon as madness. To talk about
the early history of Maine with Mrs.
E. Tilton, the survivor of the couple
referred to, is a pleasure, and anyone
interested in the "reminiscences of the
pioneers cannot spend a more pleasant
hour. Among the interesting things
discussed by our representative short
time ago was her experience with and
opinion of medicinal preparation
which has become a household neces-
sity in the cities and towns of our Re-
public. 1t has become so here in Au-
gusta. The spreading of such informa,
ton by Mrs. Tilton brought this re-
suit about Read what she says:
For a number of years I had som:-
kind of kidney trouble, causing severe
attacks of headache, not constantly lit
recurring from time to time. When I
did have an attack it was severe and I
suffered greatly. When 1 sat or lay
down 1 could not get up again. often
used simple home remedies, but they
never effected permanent cure. 1 was
in pretty bad shape for some time,
suffering day and night, when 1 was
induced to try Doans kidney Pills.
They gave me relief after taking few
doses. When l finished the treatment
my trouble disappeared. 1 found them
an effective remedy, and I, believe any
person annoyed with backache, if they
use them according to directions will
find them So" Just such emphatic in
dorsement can be had right here at

The Austrian Emperor is scarcely to
be congratulated on the fulfilment of
his half century of sovereignty. His
has been long reign but not a brill
liant one, and it has been filled with
hard work, national disaster and bitter
personal distress: while the prospect is
that when the aged Emperor dies, as
he must in a very few years, the en1-
pire itself will go to pieces. Many i
humble subject of Francis Joseph has
had far more happiness in the past 80
syears than the monarch has. The one
great consolation for him is that he has
the love and respect of his subjects tn
a greater extent than any other mon
arch in Europe, with the exception of
Queen Victoria, and this is the strong
est among the few rays of brightness
on his gloomy path.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York Dec. 5.-There was great in
terest and curiosity manifested in Wall
street, today, regarding the President 5
message. When it was published it was
seen to be free from matter calculated
to affect the value of securities that the
course Of prices was left to the influence
of technical causes. The recent view of
professional traders has been that the
message was to prove 'bull document
and they have bought stocks recently UNI
der that conviction. Upon the publication
of the message 1t was natural. therefore,
that this element should sell to take their
profits. But the chief effect of the antici-
patton of the message was to curtail OPP
erations in the stock market. The pre-
vailing tone of the market became in
crea singlN heavy as the day Wore on.

tires are now in general use on all
livery and private vehicles in the

of using the tires on the wheels of fire

themselves in the strain taken off Of

Portland Press: 1T is generally I'M
derstood," says the Belfast Journal,
that Governors Powers in his mes
sage will take decided ground against
any increase of appropriation and n
favor of retrenchment when possible"
No doubt he will. All governors have
done. and will continue to do that
Furthermore, it may be said that the
Legislature will strive with an honest
intention to keep down appropriations
to the lowest possible limit, and viii
wind up with making as literal appro-
prlatlons as usual. That's the way all
Legislatures do. 1t is not the fault of
the Legislature that appropriations are
sometimes too lavish SO much as of the
people. Whole communities go to Au-
gusta and demand appropriations for
this thing and that Who ever heard
of a single individual going there to
urge economy of expenditure? Every
community that wants a thing repre-
sents that the thing wanted is an alb
solute necessity which it cannot get
along without. Immense pressure is
put upon the members. the public
sentiment dodge is worked assiduously,
nobody has anything to say on the
other side and of course eventually the
Legislature gives way. The longer we
live the more firmly convinced we ara
that the people are more responsible
for extravaganza themselves than
their representatives.

The President has some interesting
things to say in his message about the
obstruction of the Maine. THE find
ing of the naval board of inquiry
established that the origin of the ex-
plosion was external, by a submarine
mine, and only halted, through lack o.
positive testimony, to fix the RESPONSE
blity for its authorship

E. Benjamin Andrews thinks he is
too big d man for Chicago, as he was
for Providence. He has resigned his
position at the head of the public
schools of Chicago. Perhaps he and
Coin" Harvey will now join drives.
