Thousands havo tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some etlicacious remedy
FOR wrinkles and other imperfections of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
GUS Complexion Specialists, of 7S Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
tic their wonderful Complexion Tonic
The reason so many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, etc, never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
freckles, pimples, backheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness, eruptions, and discolorations of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,

HARBoR NOTES.
Items of Interest Picked Up Along the
Water Front.

Norwegian steamer Coriugo, Capt.
Kirboe, from Androssau, arrived yester.
day, light. She was consigned to Chase,
Leavitt q Co., and will load with spool
wood.
The Italian bark Vega which left
I'rapani, Sicily April Is. last, for this
port, loaded with salt consigned to John
A. Emery & Bro, arriveded Saturday
afternoon about seven o'clock. The bark
was spoken off Gibraltar May Is. 1t will
be remembered that the vessel was over
due and some little anxiety was felt as to
her safety.
The captain of the tug Demarest, who
towed the bark into the harbor, said
that although he could not talk "Dago, "
he managed to learn that all were well on
board and that the vessel had simply
been delayed by adverse winds. She
was 81 days out and struck several Gains
which caused the delay.
The arrivals Saturday were: Schooner
Harvester with granite, steamer porgie
boat George Curtis. Sailed, schooner
Clara Randall, steamer Lyell and four
masted schooner John Z. Souther for

FOR THEATRE PARTIES.

Owing to the fact that numerous
theatre parties are being formed
to attend the production of Sea
Mile" next week at McCullums Theatre,
Manager McCullum has arranged with
t he officials Of the Cape road to furnish
special cars at no extra cost to parties
composed of twenty-five or more persons
These cars can be obtained by leaving
notice at the Office of the company in
Monument square by mail, telephone or
otherwise, and will be placed anywhere
on the line of the Cape road most suited
10 the convenience of the parties desiring
them. When the car is ordered leave
notice where it is to be placed. This is
an arrangement that will be much appre-
ciated by Manager MoCullum's patrons,
as it will enable whole party to go to
the Cape and return together, something
that is practically impossible if they go
on the regular cars. 1t is desirable to
give the companya as long notice as
possible, but two hours from the time of
starting will be sufficient to procure cars.

WHO DIED FIRST.

Several interesting legal questions as to
the presumption of suryiyorship among
persons perishing by a common calamity
have arisen out of the loss of the French
steamer La Bourgogne Thus in the
Prerogative court of New Jersey, the
chancellor has been called upon to de.
terInine, if he can, whether Walter V.
Clark of Hackensaek or his wife persisted
first in the disaster. The couple were
married the day before the steamer left
New York, and the husband then made
a will under which his wife, If she sur
vived him, would take all his property.
Under the law as laid down by the courts
of New York and throughout the Union
generally, in the absence OF evidence justi-
flying an inference one way or the other,
there is no presumption as to the order
of the deaths OF those who lose their
lives in the same catastrophe. The civil
or Roman law, however, INDUCES in pre-
sumptions based on age, sex and other
considerations but, said Chief Judge
Church of New York, in q case when q
family of four were lost on a steamship
in 1875: Nothing can be more uncer-
tain or unsatisfac Org than this conject-
rlral mode of arriving at tact which
from its nature must remain uncer-
tain, and often upon the existence of
which the title to large amounts of
pronerty depends" BY the common
law, where there is no pro on the sub
ject of actual survivorship, the fact is
assumed to be understandable, and prop
erty rights are disposed as though
death had occurred at the same moment.

GRAND TRUNK IMPROVEMENTS.

The Grand Trunk railway has recently
made important additions to its western
division rolling stock. The Pullman
company has furnished the road with
some day coaches for it's fast eastern SER
vice which are said to be equal to the
finest running out of Chicago. The
trains are bauled by some 102-son locomo-
tives, which for size and strength can
hardly be excelled. Before the end of the
year the company intends to e9 Zip all its
Chicago mainline trains with these cars
and locomotives. The day coaches which
have just been put into service are 63 feet
in length, and fitted with wide Pullman
vestibules. The new locomotives are
among the largest on the American
roads They weigh rs tons, and with the
tender l03 tons. They have stea1r ca
paclty ct 200 pounds, and six-foot driv-
ing wheels. During the tnree weeks they
nave been in service they have demon
strated their capacity to haul q train of
IA cars Without the slightest difficulty.

THE VALUE OF CHILDREN.

In the case of Graham VS.. the Jersey
City Consolidated Traction company, a
father recovered verdict of $4,000 against
the defendant for negligently causing the
death of his 5-year-old child. The verdict
has been set aside by Mr.. Justice Gum
mere of the New Jersey Supreme court,
whose decision has excited considerable
newspaper comment. He takes the
ground that children are usually an ex-
psnse rather than a peouniary benefit to
their parents, and argues that if the faith
or of the child who was killed could rea-
sonably regard that child's life as worth
$4,000, q family of ton children would
represent beneficial value of $50, 900 to
the father. On the other hand. it fire.
quently does happen that a child may
grow up to contribute generously to the
pecuniary welfare of his parents; and in
New York state the courts hold that in
estimating the value of child's life to
his next of kin. the jury are not bound to
consider only the services he might rem
der up to the age of twenty-one. Thus in
the case of Rrickett VS.. the Knickerbocker
Ice Company, Cloth vol. New York Re-
ports, page 504) where there was a YER
dict of $500 for the death of a little girl
four and one-half years old, the Court of
Appeals declared that after her majority
she might in many ways have been of
great pecuniary benefit to her father. The
New York courts have also repeatedly
held that it would be error to instruct the
jury that only nominal damages can be
recovered in such o case.

CAPE COTTAGE PARK.

Among the animals recently received
at Cape Cottage Park are spider mon
key and two marmosets. This monkey
is from South America, and is possessed
of tail of a very singular and acute
sense of touch. The Coaita. for such is
the technical name, is q little m ore than
a foot in length from the nose to the root
of the tail, while the tail itself is two
feet long. The hair varies much in
length and density, while the skin of the
face is of dark copper color.
1t is well worth anyone's time to take
q ride out to the Cape to see these little
fellows. The children have all made
friends with them already.
A parrot, very handsome bird, is also
among the recent additions to the many
birds, and with unusual brightness this
parrot has already learned to call "An-
other car" or announce to those waiting
for the next in-going car, Here comes
the car, and the company is very much
pleased with it's new "car starter.'' t

SHELL GAME WORKED AGAIN.
A Cape Electric Motorman Among the
Victims.

The elusive walnut shell and pea were
worked again outside the Rigby gates,
Saturday afternoon, just as the patrons of
the horse races were coming out to take
the Cape electrics and steam cars for the
city.
1t was just after the finish of the second
heat in the -for-all race. Everybody
knew Roam Wilkes would win the next
heat, and it did not promise enough OK
element to warrant staying another half
hour, in the grand stand. There was no
train waiting on the Boston & Maine
turnout, but one was due in about ten
ID inutes.
"Let's have little game, while we
| are waiting for the train shouted a
foxy looking man, who whipped out from
under his vest small, cloth-covered
board, and began to shuttle three wal
nut shells and rubber ball the size of
pea. The crowd gathered Iabout him.
Nearly every body recognized the old
"shell game" but there happened to be
two or three who hadn't heard of it, and
the she'll man, assisted by half dozen
cappers, proceeded to make the most of
the situation.
Several good catches Of suckers were
made. Among them was a Dotorman of
the Cape road, who had ten-minute
wait at the park turnout and improved it
by getting into the midst of the crowd
and watching the she'll operators
manoeuvres. He became interested. saw
the pea placed under tho middle shell,
and couldn't resist the temptation to bet
S. he could find it. He laid down his S.
hill. The shell man wanted him to make
it $40. The cappers advised him to double
his ante and he followed the advice.
While he was getting out the other five
the position of the shells was changed
and the motorman found his luck had
changed. They urged him to play again
and get even with the game, and he was
on the point of doing SO, when tho con-
ductor of his car came along, snatched
him by the coat.tails, and called him
away from the gang who were heeclng
him.
The shell man picked up about $50 from
easy victims within quarter OF an hour.

BOUGHT BEER IN PORTLAND.


In the Municipal court Saturday some
expert testimony was given as to the fact
that liquor is sometimes sold in Portland.
The expert was William G mpfield, who
was IN court accused of the larceny OF
money from the person of Lewis Sawyer.
When Campbell took the stand in his
own behalf he enumerated some seven or
eight places at which he and Sawyer had
purchased and drank beer. He was asked
as to each place wha t kind of beer it
was and said THAI it was lager. At the
conclusion of Campbel's testimony, the
county attorney, who had conducted the
examination, said to Marshal Sylvester:
In view of this testimony. Mr.. Marshal.
thlnk that these men should be held as
witnesses and these places Investigated to
see whether they have been violating the
laws OF this state or not.' This was only
an incident to the tale of the pitfalls of
great city revealed in the case of the
robbery of Sawyer. Sawyer met Camp
Jleid and then began a round of the drink
ing saloons in the vicinity of the Custom
house on Commercial and Fore streets.
AT each place several bottles of beer were
drank, generally at Sawyer's expense
FINALLY Sawyer began to feel sleepy and
went to Commercial wharf where he
reposed in the warm sunshine while
Campbell sat by him and told the passers
that he was taking care of a suffering
friend. Some Of the passers noticed that
Campbell seemed to be making an exam
nation OF the pockets of his friend but
Campdeld said on the stand that he did
nothing of the SORT All that happened
was that Sawyer leaned against him.
Then Campteld went off and finally
when Sawyer awoke he says that he
found that over twenty dollars which he
had in his pockets had been extracted.
lie went to tie station and made com.
plant and as result Campfield was ar
rested. Campfield told the court that he
was fruit peddler. He admitted that he
had been in jail on sentences for larceny.
Probable cause was found and he was
bound over to await the action of the
grand jury. He went to Jail in default of
bail where he will be ready to serve as a
witness should he be wanted in the prose-
cution of the people of whom no bought
the beer.
The court also disposed of couple of
cases of intoxication and extended
clelnency to number of small bows
accused of larceny. These cases were as
follows:

feet harmony with all the surroundings,
and that remark is as true now as when
it was first made. The Fadettes have
made great success at Riyerton. They

Is Mr.. ROUNDS INIT.
Other Candidates for Membership In the
House.

The alderman from the Third ward,
unless rumor Is absolutely false, has de-
termined to enter the arena of State
politics. Mr.. Rounds thinks that his
next position political should be among
the Solons who make the laws at Au-
gusta, and it is common report that
among the delegates who will be elected
for the nominating convention at the
Republican caucuses tomorrow night,
there will be some prepared to cast their
votes for the Alderman. Mr.. Round
has made 10 public announcement of his
candidacy , but that he is in it if he can
get the nomination there seems to be no
doubt in the minds of men who keep
posted as to such matters. 1t was said
Saturday that the gentleman from Three
from wards One, Three and Four with
enough in the other wards to give him a
nomination. Portland has representa- =
tion of six in the lower branch of the
Legislature, and there are already mo re
than that number of candidates for the
places among the Republicans of the city.
In ward One Mr.. E. a. Sargent has
been talked of, and his name will be pre-
scented. Two of the residents of ward
Two are in the list of candidates. They
are Sheriff Samuel D. PlEInmer, whose
term of office expires just before the Leg
islature is convened next January, and
Mr.. Isaiah Daniels. From ward Three,
as said, there is the alderman. OF the
residents of ward Four, Mr.. e. G. SWEET
has been mentioned. Harry R. Virgin,
Esq, who is ward Five man, will be
nominated. From ward Six, two have
been mentioned They are Richard
Webb. Esq, and ex-Alderman Charles
j. Mcdonald. In ward Seven there are
also two candidates, Hon. Holman S.
Melcher and Fred V. Chase, Esq. The
fact that there are two candidates from
a ward does not necessarily mean that
only one of them can be nominated.
There Is a natural desire to have the ca n
didates taken from the different sections
of the city, but if ward contains two
men who are candidates, they may
both be nominated. Two years ago tho
representation from Portland included
Messrs. Larrabee and Knowlton: both of
whom live in ward Seven. Neither does
it follow that because there are eight or
nine candidates for the six places there
will be contests in the caucuses. Chair.
man Allan of the city committee, said
Saturday that SO far as he was then ad-
vised, there would be only one ticket for
delegates in each of the wards, except
ward Two, where there would be con-
test.
Alderman Rounds when asked Saturday
night about the reports of his candidacy
did not deny that he would take nomin-
alton. Neither did he admit that he was
q candidate.
