ASpring-time Epidemic isupon US
But the Cure is Simple, Effective and
Agreeable.

There is an epidemic in the all accom-
panied by distressing symptoms which,
strange to say, no school OF medicine
can alleviate or cure. Generally it is
early in the spring that it makes its ap-
pearance in the larger cities, attacking
without distinction the rich and the poor,
the strong and the weak. There Is II
feeling of enervation, a disasle for ones
daily duties, and one intense longing to
get away from the sights and sounds Of
the city; to go far away to country OF
still waters, and rushing rivers, of
mountains and of forests, whose atmos-
phere is redoent with the sweet odors of
the pine tree and the balsams.
The proper course of treatment, if it
be possible. is to permit the patient to
follow his inclinations. The very know
ledge that he is to do so and the making
of the necessary preparations will, to IA
great extent, mitigate his suffering, and
The change of scene and occupation will
infallibly complete the cure.
Of course every pond. lake and
stream in Northern New England offers
exceptional advantages for the fisher
man. but Maine is II region particularly
adapted to early fishing. Among the
more prominent resorts it is expected
that by the middle Of May the ice will
have entirely disappeared from the lakes
and the outlook is that the season will be
the best for years Every devolee to
angling has some particular spot IT,
which he takes himself tor his season u

Railroad Strike

Toronto, Ontario, May %. - The
trackmen on the Grand Trunk railroad
went out this morning on strike. The
strike affects the system from Sarnia,
Ont, to Portland, Me.
The trouble arises from a refusal to
increase the pay of the trackmen and
foremen. The officials of the company
and the trackmen conferred at Montreal
Saturday and failed to reach an agree
ment. The men were at once ordered
out.
The Grand Trunk pays foremen 81 80
and men 81 day. These wages are
reduced and cents respectively by
insurance premiums. There is no pay
for overtime and the men are laid off
holidays without pay.
The men claim that these reductions
aud the enforced days idleness bring the
average wages down to about 70 cents a
day.
The e. p. pays men $1.15 to $l.25
for ten hours work and the b. & M.
$1.50.

Manila, May 22.-There was a meet
ing this morning between the Filipino
commissioners sent by Aguinaldo to ne
gotiate for terms of peace, and the
members of the United States Philippine
Commission.
The latter presented to the Filipinos
the scheme of government which Presi-
dent Mckinley would establish pending
action Of Congress. This scheme provid-
es that the natives be represented by an
advisory council to be elected by the
people, and probably on the bench and
in the chief departments of the admin
istration. Gracio Gonzaga, a member
of the Filipino commission, one of
Aguinaldo's cabinet officers, considers
the proposition Il liberal one.

General Brooke's Plains Accepted by
the Home government.
Washington. MD. 22.-Itsis believed
to the disposition of the weapons held
by the Cuban soldiers has been removed
by the action taken by Secretary Alger
He has instructed General Brooke to
begin at once the payment of the $1,000
900 set aside for the payment of the Gu
ban soldiers, being entirely satisfied
with the provision made by General
Brooke for the safekeeping of the arms
that must be surrendered by the Gu
bans in consideration of receiving a
share of the money.
There has been less correspondence on
this subject between Secretary Alger
and General Brooke than has been gen
orally supposed. Last Wednesday the
latter cabled the war department that
he proposed to begin the payment of the
money to the Cubans, the arms to GO
into the custody of the mayors. Secre-
tary Ager did not reply to this, as it
concerned a matter in which the presi-
dent himself had given instructions.
Saturday General Brooke was again
heard from, this time saying he saw in
the press reports that the secretary of
war did not approve of the plan he had
formed He explained that all of the
arms surrendered were to be deposited
in the arsenal at Havana and the ar
senal at Santiago.
This statement changed the case COM
pletely, for, the arsenals being in the
possession of the United States, the re-
quirements of the presidents condition
were fully met by the proposed ar
rangement Therefore Secretary Alger
after submitting the matter to the pres
ident. cabled General Brooke to proceed
Immediately with the payment of the
money to the Cubans.

New York, May 22.-The steamer Gu

Cuba, carried a large consignment OF
agricultural implements, seeds, provi-
sions and other supplies for the Cuban
Industrial Relief fund. These imple-
ments and supplies will be used in es-
tablishing relief farms, where destitute
Cuban farm laborers who are now de-
pendent on the distribution of American
army rationS for a mere existence may
find self supporting employment. The
industrial relief work will now be ex-
tended throughout the island of Cuba
as rapidly as funds are available. An
other shipment of agricultural imple-
ments and seeds will be sent to Ma

INTERNATIONAL SPORT.
Mr.. Sheriff. Talks of the Oxford
Cambridge Challenge.


New York, May PC. II. Sheriff.
when seen on the matter of the Oxford
Cambridge challenge to the Harvard
and Yale universities for a series Of
athletic events to take place in London
next July explained that among other
things he had insisted upon the use of
movable hurdles in the 120 yard hurdle
race, The Englshmen are in the habit
of using fixed hurdles in this event.
When the American athletes in Eng
land ran over this kind of hurdle, it
was found that the possibility Of Sc
rious fall not present when movable
hurdles are used had the effect Of MAX
ing the Americans clear the obstruc-
tions with more than enough room to
spare, thus running a shower race. The
Americans failure in this event was
attributed to this fact. Consequently
those interested are pleased that NOV
able Instructions are now to be substi-
tuted.
Putting the shot" said Mr.. Sheriff.,
"is to be eliminated from the coming
games. The English and American reg
ulations governing this event differ ma
terially, and 1t Is therefore we'll that 1t
has been left out. There are to be nine
events in all. I consider this number
sufficient"
The 120 yard hurdle promises to be
the closest of the international con-
tests. Fox of Harvard and Fincke of
Yale have records of 15A seconds for
this event, and4 Paget- -Tomlinson of
Cambridge has done the distance in 1s
seconds on wet grass track. Mr.. Sher-
rill considers that the Americans have
very good chances Of winning the ham,
mer, the high jump the quarter and
the half mile. The English promise
well for the broad jump, the three mile
and the one mile competition This
leaves the 100 yard dash and the 12O
yard hurdle race problematcal.
Mr.. Sheriff. received. on May 16 a ca
BILE request from Mr.. Jackson, repre-
senting the English universities, to
challenge Yale and Harvard. Mr.. Sher-
rill communicatedlthe challenge by let
ter He says that Yale will accept.
Official answers to the challenge will
probably be delayed until the actual
communications are received by the
respective colleges, which will be in
about one week.
Mr.. Sheriff. is chairman of the grad
uate advisory committee on track ath-
letics for Yale college, and he perfect
ed and arranged the details of the Eng
lish- American collegiate contests in 1894
and 1896
