Story is One of Today

niany, at Warnemande, a little seacoast town. Herr von Steiner, Athe burgomaster of the little village, appears in the opening scene. His son, Leander, is sgith him. Be- hind them is the village inn, and the broad sea. The peasants come and go, and as they pass they eXpend no little ridicule on Leander, the dejected one
 All this is, however, anticipated Silas Wright, as his name indicates, is an Amer ican. He together with his wife and child and Leander and Leander's parents, leave America for a years outing in the old world A storm arises as the steamer ap- breaches Hamburg, and Herr von Steiner and hSs good wife rescue Leander and his mother. The latter dies soon afterwards, leaving Leander to the care of his rescuers, who rear him in ignorance of his true par entage. But his true percentage is at last revealed by his German protectors. It is then seen that he is an Alabamian, and that he has great mines in the famous Birmingham district of that state Slas Wright, his wife and little girl, came also from the central city in the mineral district of Alabama. The lullaby that Leander at tempts to recall was sung by his mothers friend to his little playmate when the steamer was shaken by the storm. Leander determine sto find again his playmate, and the act closes as Leander and his foster parents sail to America.
 Haven of Tserelict Ships
 In the second act "Terra Sortis," the Land of Chance, is shown. It is an island in the broad Atlantic. There is wealth and magnifcence there. It is the haven of lost and drifting ships. The natives are, how ever, still heathens, knowing nothing of the -iouter world They have among them many that have been rescued from lost ships Festus Augustus is king of the island. An other ship is wrecked, and among the res scued are Leander, the mayor of the little German town, his wife. and Edythe, who proves to be the daughter of Silas Wright. Leander and Blythe discover, of course, each other, and the happiness of both be- comes complete, but just at this point an attempt is made to kill the king. In the end the island is Americanized, becoming a republic. The opera closes on the wedding day of Leander and Edythe, and the ap- pearance of a vessel bearing Silas Wright, father of the bride. The beautiful lullaby runs all through the delightful story of song and sentiment

How many weak, tired, over-worked
worn out and run down men and women
bitterly appreciate the poet Dryden's famous
lines:
"'Till like a clock worn out with keeping
time,
The wheels of weary life at last stand still"
The wheels of weary life indeed seem to
stand still with you because you are sick,
out of health, exhausted in nerve force and
physical strength. Why do you not consult
an eminent specialist about your case,
famous physician who makes speciality of
nervous, chronic and lingering complaints,
and because he has made the treatment of
cases like yours his life work, is sure to cure
you? The most successful specialist in the
world in curing such diseases, DR.. Greene
of 81 Temple Place, Boston, Mass can be
consulted absolutely free Of charge in regard
to any case, whether you call or write to
him about your complaint If you cannot
CALL write to him at once, ana cut of his
vast experience he will give you advice and
counsel as TO exactly what ais you, and
what you should do to be cured. He uses in
his enormous practice among the sick only
harmless vegetable remedies, which always
act in harmony with the laws of life and
therefore always cure. One of his grand
blood and nerve remedy, is known and
used in every part of the civilized earth
and he has discovered and prepared
equally marvellous curative remedies for
all diseases. 1t will cost you moth
ing to get his advice and learn .fiust
what your disease is, and if you will follow

Fogg's First Story True?

ELLSWORTH, Me, March o. Joseph
fogg, Dr., who is now in the county Jail
at Ellsworth, under S., 900 bail, await
ing the action of the grand jury on the
charge OF perjury for testifying that he
assisted VIM. t. Treworgy move the body
OF Sarah Ware, the victim of the Bucks
port murder, and then retracting his
story, now says that his first was true.
This statement was the result Of the aft :
davits made by Fogg's parents, yesterday,
that he told them of the moving of the
body before the murder was known to the
authorities
Sheriff Hooper read the affidavits to
Fogg IN the presence of The Associated
Press representative, to day. At first
Fogg said his father and mother had
sworn to lie. Then he said he did not
remember whether he had told them or
not.
Having thus committed himself, he
asked to talk with Sheriff Hooper alone
and then told him in confidence that
he did help Treworgy move the body
and did tell his father and mother and
Joseph Mink, before the body was dis
| covered. He said he retracted his story
and made himself a perjurer under threats
from interested parties.
Fogg's retracton of his first story
removed the only discriminating evidence
against Treworgy and he was admitted
to bail. Fogg's latest story takes the
case back where it was before. County
Attorney Bunker has been notified. and
it is not known whether or not steps will
be taken to have Treworgy recommitteo
to Jail.

A Medal for Gen. Mattocks.

General Charles P. Mattocks of Port
land has just been awarded, by direction
of the President, a Congressional melal of
honor for gallantIy at the battle of Sailors
Greek in the closing days of the Rebellion.
1t was in this action that during the ad-
vance of the Union forces, Gen. Mattock' S
regiment, the famous 18th Maine, reached
the top of hill and stopped at fence.
1t was then Major Mattocks, and the reg
iment halted, the lieutenant colonel in
command fell, wounded by a bullet from
Confederate rifle some distance away.
From the pit came well directed volley
and a number Of Others, members of the
command, fell, wounded or dead. 1t was a
case Of advance or retreat. The Confed-
crates, relying on the strength of their
position, evidently thought that it would
be a retreat, but Major Mattocks ordere q
al advance instead. The regiment res
pended as one man and rushed across the
open space before the Confederates had
had chance To fire again OF to get out Of
The way. They were caught, for although
they outnnmbered the men who made
that charge, their rifles were empty, while
the invaders carried loaded arms 1t
was for leading this charge that the med
al was conferred upon General Mattocks.
