UNION MUTUAL PICNIC.
An Enjoyable Occasion at Cape Cottage
Casino Yesterday.

Thorough success and enjoyment char
acterized the annual picnic of the direc-
tors, officers and employees of the Union
Mutual Life Insurance company, with
their families, which was held yesterday
at Cape Cottage Casino. Special cars were
provided by the Portland & Cape Eliza
beth railway, whose employees were un-
tiringly attentive in furthering the
pleasure of the entire party, which num-
bered about $50 people. Especial mention
is due of the railway service in going
and coming, which was prompt, efficient
and speedy in all particulars.
The forenoon rapidly feeted, as it al
ways does at this delightful spot, the
principal. recreation being lounging upon
the rocks, watching the uneasy waves
and the passing vessels, while some UNI
dertook to display their skill with fishing
poles, but their efforts in that direction
were only moderately rewarded.
At 1890 q bountiful dinner was served
by Caterer Robinson in the Casino, than
which for such purpose no more attrac-

Mutual representatives. The occasion
adds in all respects, another bright page
to the annals of our weIl-known home

VOLUNTEER AID AssocIA TIoN.

Mrs. Joseph G. White, treasurer OF the
Volunteer Aid association at the business
meeting Friday morning, reported that
$l4s.36 had been contributed beside the
web of sheeting from Mrs. Snow. Sums
given varying from ten dollars to the 25
cent membership fee, $50 have been sent
to DR.. O'Neil for hospital supplies. The
Specially club has the honor of being the
first club to contribute as club, sending
ten dollars. 1t is hoped other clubs
may follow their example.
The reports of the various committees,
read at Fridays meeting in Brown block,
gave proof Of how much can be accom-
plished in SO short time as has elapsed
since the initial steps were taken i'm the
forming the aid association. The follow
ing from Mrs. Boothby's report will show
that there have been many willing work
ers as well as enthusiastic ones, one lady
having taken one dozen pajamas to make
at home. Her report shows now in stock
70 sheets, so hospital shirts, 10 pillow
slips, IS pajama suits and 1893 rolled
bandages, also many comfort bags are be-
ing made and filed
The chairman of the ward committee
we fear were little disappointed to find
that SO few of our citizens have respond
ed to the call for the 25 cent subscrip-
tions. but ascribe it to the fact that the
public at large do not yet understand
that the boxes are for subscriptions from
every man, woman and child who wishes
to add much or little to the frnd for sup
plies. Other boxes are to be placed, of
which due notice will be given by. the
committee in charge.
An inmate of the Home for Old Ladies,
who really lost her eyesight by constant
work during our civil war, sent to the
rooms half a dozen wash clothes made
by her own fingers.
All articles for which call has besn
made, money, cereals, delioacies for the
sick, etc., may be sent any day to room

Do Not Give Up in De- spair-There is Hopel

For ages it has been thought that Cancer Is incurabfe, and those g. unfortunate as to have this dreadful affiction have con- sidered themselves beyond hope of recovery. The doctors are ab- solutely unable to afford any re- lief, and the poor sufferer might w.ll consider himself on the way to an early grave.
 1t Is now easy to see why the doctors have failed to cure Cancer. Their theories have been all wrong, and hence their treatment mis- directed. They have made the mistake of thinking that by cut ting out the sore or ulcer, known as Cancer, the disease would be gotten rid of, and the patient re- stored to health. But the cruel knife accomplishes nothing, for the Cancer promptly returns, ,and is always more virulent than before.
 It has been demonstrated, beyond doubt, that Cancer is blood disease, and can not be cured by the surgeons s knife because the blood can not be cut gfCdy.
 Several years ago my wife had an ulcer on her tongue, which, though an- moving. was not regarded seriously at first. It refused to. heal and began to grow, giving her much pain. The doc- LOTS treated it for quite a while but

vulcan's part In the scheme of rescue. Be- ing almost sure that the Teresa's starboard engine would be kept working until the last, 1t was decided to hold on to the haw- ser. thereby giyins the Teresa sufficient steering way to enable her helmsman to keep the heavy sea on her starboard bow and still be to leeward of the Vulcan, en- abling the latter to use oil to advantage -where the rescueing boats began.
 From the first the heavy laboring of the Teresa gave the impression that she would founder suddenly and that her people would be overheard at any moment, ei- ther swimming or drowning before our eyes.
 Assistant Paymaster Robert H. Wood, United States navy, was detailed to note . the time that each signal was sent ana re- peated. Oil was the first requisite. Me- chanics passed 1t up in buckets from the hold; those on deck filled small bags with it. The effect was immediate in smoothing the neavy seas near the wreck.
 Rubber life belts were brought on deck and filled with air, ready to throw to men in the water. A bow line was made Tn every ropes end by which the men could be hauled out of the sea. If the ship had foundered before her people were takn on, it was the commanding officers intention, after cutting the hawser, to phase his Hes- sel to leeward and then work up to winG- ward of the men in the water and pick them up.
 Half the charges were extracted from G. pounder shells. and they were fitted over the ends of oars, to which small lines were attached. These were to have been fired from the gun across the spot where the men might have been seen in the water.
 After the Teresa began to fill it became impossible for the Vulcan to keep her head to windward, but being practically water logged. she made an excellent breakwater for the boats. even after she fell of into the trough of the sea.
 "Directed by Lieutenant Gilmer, the crew and engineers force equipped two life boats with oars, life preservers and oil bags. They were launched from the top of the deckhouse, and by means of long lines were veered astern, in the hope that they would reach the Teresa, but the heavy sea carried them far to windward; they fouled the hawser and were finally cut adrift.
