The readers of this paper will be
pleased TO learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi-

Now that there has been time for
sober second thought the farmers Of
south Lancaster who have been threat-
ening to take their trade and that Of
their friends from Lancaster because
six who were fined for fast driving,
we believe, see the folly Of attempting
any such course. The interests Of
the city and surrounding country are
identical. Each needs the other. The
city wants the produce Of the country
and in return should sell the goods,
the foods, the furnishings, not pro-
duced on the farm The country
needs good market place, town
full of wide-awake business men who
can supply their needs at honest
prices The more prosperous the
town the better for the farmer. He
gets better prices, he buys more econ
omicaly, it enhances the value OF his
farm. To work against the Interests
OF your nearest town is to tcut of
your nose to spite your face. But
further, what real grievance have
these gentlemen That the fast driv-
ing ordinance is proper oneand that
it should be enforced in the interests
OF proper protection Of life aud
property IN the city no one can sue
cessfully deny That they violated
the law they know and have freely adj
mitted Their only reasonable con-
tention is that the fine and and costs

The Army and Navy Journal says the
extent to which the fertilization system
of the country has advanced in the last
few years is accurately set forth In a
statement rscentIy prepared by the War
Department for mem Der of Congress
and shows that by June 30 next there will
DO installed at the principal seaports OF
the nation strong defences, mounting the
highest types of rifles, mortars and rapid
fire guns. The progress made warrants
the the conviction that within compaIa-
lively short time all the main ports OF the
country will be invulnerable to successful
attack from the most powerful feet of
warships. When 1t is recalled that only
four years ago there was scarcely mod.
ern gun mounted for the protection of a
single harbor, the remarkable expedition
with which the coast defence project has
been carried out must appeal TO all and
lend additional evidence to the claims
made by the Notifications board that with
liberal appropriations the country could
be we'll protected at its main seaports in
a reasonably brief period of time. The
War Department. statement gives in
detail the number of guns and
mortars that will be in place by the end
of the fiscal year, with an estimate of
the strength of the artillery required to
man them. This is approximately about
$4,000 men. The coast armament of the
country begins with the kennebeo river
and extends around to and including Gal
weston on the Gulf while ON the Pacific
side it embraces the waters of Puget
Sound, San Francisco, San Diego and
other towns exposed TO feet fire.
Touching upon the defences in the
State of Maine, the Journal continues.
The defenees OF the Kennebec have made
little progress, but when complete win
give ample protection to these waters. AT
present the only guns mounted are two
lS-inch guns ON old mounts, but the plans
of the war department call for three large
rspid-hre guns, three small and some
mortars. AT Fort Preble, Me-, the real
defences begin and at that point OF the
country, sixteen l2-inoh mortars will be
placed. The project for its defence calls
for six rapid fire guns In addition. AT
Portland Head the Government has live
ten-inch guns and one 6-inch rapid fire.
When completed the defences viii consist
Of four lg-inch guns and two 10-inch In
addition. Greas Diamond island IL

and now the whole system is under the

did was to issue the following order to tine

For some time to come Mr. Newman
will spend a great portion of his time on
the Portland and Cape Elizabeth division
getting thoroughly familiar with all Its
details and possibilities The running
time will be changed before long and
additional cars will be put on. 1t is Mr..
Newman's present intention to run
fifteen minute trips to Cape Cottage and
Pleasantd,le. This will be great con-
venienoe to the travelling public and will
be highly appreciated by people who live
at South Portland either the whole or q
part of the year. With relation to fares
nothing has yet been decided. though it
is sure that fares will be no higher and
possibly will be SO arranged that a cash
tive cent fare will be charged instead of
compelling the public to purchase tickets,
as heretofore. Changes will be made
gradually, as needed, after time has bee n
taken to enable MIR. Newman to be entire
IL sure that the change Is wise.
