THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP.

The sta temsnt is being generally aud
persistently made through the Associated
Press and newspapers of the state that
Judge Symonds would not under any
circumstances, accept the appointment as
chief justice. even if it were offered to
him. ButItriends of Judge Synionds cay
that the above report Is wholly without
foundation; that Judge Symonds never
made or authorized any such statement,
hut that, in case Of vacancy an ap-
pointment to the chief justiceship would
be accepted by Judge Symonds and that
he would be gratified to return to the
bench under such circumst stances.
There is also clear evidence that the le-
gal profession throughout the state
would be nearly unanimous in recon-
mending the appointment of one who
would bring to the bench such ripe schol-
arship and eminent qualities as are
known to be possessed by Judge Sy-
mon de.

LOSS NOT LARGE.
Saturday Evenings Fire Was Quickly
Extinguished.

Offic,r Ball pulled box 4i2 at 10. Is
o'clock Saturday night for fire in the
building between Union and Cross streets,
near Commercial, formerly occupied by
the ElIingwoo1 Manufacturing company.
but now occupied by the Portland Plain

around the boiler on the first floor and
had reached the second floor before the
department arrived. The building was
sheathed with iron and this prevented
the fire from breaking out excepting
around the window castings and under the
roof, but 1t also made the work Of extin-
gushing the blaze a very hard one. The
fire was we'll handled and though 1t ap-
peared rather threatening at first was
quickly extinguished.

it is caused by water. The building was
not badly damaged though it will re.

building was insured or not.
Among those who labored with the fire

AN INTERESTING RUMOR.

An interesting rumor has been In cir.
culation this week to the effect that Mr..
Frank Munsey, the we'll known pub
Usher, was to establish supplementary
plant in Westhrook and do a part OF thu
mechanical portion of his business in thai
city. Mr.. Munsey buys the paper for hi
publications of the Warren establishment

that will induce him:to move a part OIL

report has not, however. been confirmed

Mr.. Pearson. married 81 couples. Ten
lectures and entertainments have been
given. Fifteen persons were sent home
through the kindness Of Mr.. J. +. Lis
comb and Col. r. X. Boothby. Two
hundred and fifty -one names were added
10 the temperance pledge.
The report also spoke Of the Christian
Endeavor society, the cemetery lot where
many are buried who would other wise
have found pauper's grave and the
work in the hospitals.
In closing, Mr.. Pearson said it was not
good Christian who contented himself
with going to church and wearing long
face on Sunday, but the men who aided
those less fortunate than himself that
lived up to the Christian ideal. He plead
ed Tor assistance for the mission which
Is supported alone by the contributions OF
the citizens and which finds work to do
among the destitute and unfortunate OF
Portland. lie referred to his failing
health and said that he did not know as
he would live to celebrate another ami
versary of the mission, but that he would
continue to labor in the field God had
placed him In until tho end.
Mr.. j. r. Libby was then called upon
to speak which he did briefly. He re-
ferred to the great good the mission had
done in the past 81 years and the many
thousands who had given 1t that silent
help which Is the noblest way of giving.
He said that those who stand up In
church and testify TO Christ are not thu
only ones who lived up to the preachings
of the Savior There is still room for the
mission In Portland, and in closing he
said: "4od only knows and the record
of eternity only will unfold what the
Gospel Mission has done for Portland. A
multitude will rise up and call Mr.. Pear
son blessed for the good she has done
among the unfortunate OF this city"
Prentiss Loring, Esq, was called upon
and said among other things that 1t
seemed to him 1T was not SO much words
es actions that are needed. He said that
he stood ready to be one of 20 gentlemen
in Portland who would make up thou
sand dollars for the mission work at once.
Mrs. Halves sang several appropriate Sc
lections during the evening in "a most
pleasing manner.
The most affecting part of the service
was the closing prayer Of Mr.. Pearson
that strength be given him and en-
couragement offe. sd for the continuance
of the mission work during the coming
year.

What we Claim For 1t is Not So.
II You Are Not Thoroughly Satisfied
With the Action Of Vinol, we Will
Return Your Money.

When anyone has reached IN age where
they are On the downward path Of life,
something should be given to help Nature
husband the declining strength. Old
people frequently resort to stimulants for
this purpose. Stimulants are useful
sometimes in cases of tho most extreme
weakness, but there is always that awful
after-effect.
What is needed more particularly is a
tonic that brings renewed vigor, and one
that directly aids in the creation Of new
and healthy tissue. The one tonic above
all others that will do this, and do II
surely, Is Vinol, Wine Of; Cod Liver Oil.
Vinol, by its favorable action upon the
stomach, enables this organ to obtain
the proper nonrishmsnt from ths food tc
make new and healthy flesh, rich, pure
blood, and sound muscles.
The effect of Vinol you will find to be
sure and very quickly perceptible. The
fact that Vinol is most delicious to the
taste, and unlike all cod liver oil prepar'
atoms, contains no fat or grease, makes
1t an appetizing luxury.
MIR. +. Ii. story, 24uA ScnooI street,
Somerville. Mass, says II had been
confined to the house most of the winter.
Ny doot IT recommended that 1 should
Try Vinol. Lot me say right here that
Vinol is all right as. far as taste and smell

good luck"
This is only one case of many that We
have heard Of. We have every reason tG

We will refund, to any one who is not
satisfied that Vinol does all we claim fol
1t, the money they pay for the remedy.

THE FALMOUTH FIRE.
The Danger to BuiIdinss:Now said to
be Over.

All day;Saturday men were engaged In
fighting the forest fire in Falmouth. 1t
burned all night Friday, and Saturday
morning with the wind blowing freshly
from the southeast sent the fire back over
part of the track IL had followed on Fri
day. The rain of Saturday night tended
to subdue this blaze somewhat and the
danger is now said to be at an end. .
A son of Mr.. CT. Dunlap, who resides
at Falmouth, wrote his father the fol-
lowing letter which was received by him
Saturday;
Falmouth, May 10, 1899.
Dear Father and Mother:
1--WE are all right this morning, but 1t
was most interesting time about mid
night. The fire had evidently exhausted
itself In the middle of its territory and
run both ways, towards Barker's and
towards U.S. 1t finally got into the woods
back of Mrs. Cummings and Mr..
Adams's houses, and at one time tho
sparks fell in showers around Mr.
Adams's house, but 1t did not catch. Men
were on hand by the score; surely not
less than 25. / started over to Mr..
Adams's house with water pals, but
noticed that some Of the sparks were
oming Interestingly near us, SO sp-
pointed myself committee Of one to
watch Dunlap's house, seeing there was
no one else to attend to 1t; watched 1t q
while from skylight and then later from
the gutter of main house, but there was
no need Of water. l find this morning that
the fire, although there was enough of it,
only took the underbrush, for. some reason
sparinR the large trees, SO the woods ap-
pear about as usual this morning; there
are one or two little curls of smoke
around, but you see the underbrush is
gone, so there Is no likelihood Of any
more trouble. even II the fire is not Who'll
ly extinguished. AS near as l can gather
it has practically run over the territory
bounded by the Woodville road on one
end and the road from here towards West
Falmouth for one side of a triangle. and
the road (parallel with middle road to
Portland) which runs from Woodville
road to West Falmouth road. as the other
side of triangle"

THE GOSPEL MISSION
Celebrated Its Twenty.arst. An
niversary. f@
Report of Rev. MIR. PesrsonrAdaressei
by J. X. Libby and Prentiss Lorins.

The GOSPEL Mission rounded out its 21st
year last evening and the occasion was
fittingly observed In City hall, which was
crowded with many friends Of the mis-.
sion in Portland. On ths platform were
seated Col. II. S. Osgood, ]. r. Libby,
James Parker, NJ. c. Hutchinson, G. l..
Marston, o. w. Fullum, Prentiss Loring,
C. N. Redlon and many others. Letters
were read from ex-Gov. Cleaves, Col +.
E. Boothby and several others.
The services were opened with prayer
by the Rev. Mr.. Dexter, who especially
prayed for the recovery of Mrs. Pearson,
who has been one of the laborers in the
Gospel Mission since its foundation, and
who now lies dangerously i'll ut her
home. The regation then Gang a
hymn, being led by Mr.. Pearson, apd this
was one Of the most pleasing incidents OF
the meeting. III
MIR. Pearson In presenting his report,
said among other things that for q years
he had labored early and late In this work
and had been assisesd by many friends IN
his endeavor to help the poor and unfor-
tunate in this city.iFo the past four
years he had received no salary though
his wife and daughter had devoted their
time to this work, He said that ne
had mortgsged his house in order to live
while carrying on the work OF Inc mis-
sion. He had found the past year one OF
unusual suffering and destltntion In Port
land. Had it not been for the generosity
of one man he doubted If this work could
have been carried on. In January o
prominent man came to him and offered
him large sum Of money to be used
among the poor of this CITY. This money
did an immense AMOUNT Of good and re-
lieved the suffering of great many peo-
pie. Mr.. Pearson said that this man had
told him if he ever mentioned his name
in connection with this work he would
not give him another cent, but he thought
that credit should be given this philan-
thropist upon earth as well as in heaven,
and SO he was going to make his name
public. He then said that 1t was Hon. j.
s. Kicker who had opened his purse to
help the suffering hundreds of this city
during the hard winter.

of the work of the mission during tn

A Christian in life is one who ap-
proximates to the life Of Christ to the
degree Of his ability and opportunity.
A Christian is one who in his life and
service suggests Him whose name he
bears. II he falls In that, he is in
no proper sense a Christian.-Rev. A.
