A RUN ON A BANK

Portland. Me-, December PA ru-
Imor Of unknown origin concerning the
lsolvency of the Portland savings bank
started a run on the bank today. De-
POSTS were turned over as fast as the
books were presented, most of the pay
Iments being in gold. The crowd reach
led such proportions early in the after
moon, however, that the officials Of the
bank concluded to guard against run
ming short of ready cash by taking
refuge behind the means provided by
law. About $685. 900 were paid out to-
tday, and the bank will reopen in the
morning prepared to meet any and ev-
lery demand.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
= five Years Constant Use
without a Failure. f.

The first indication Of Group Is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign Of the approach of an attack. Fol-
lowing this hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thou
sands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We: have yet TO learn Of a single
instance in which il has not proved
effectual. No other preparation can
show such a record-twenty-five years
constant use without a failure. For
sale by r. r. Bellamy.

Token of AnnreciatiOn.

Mr.. M. w. Jacob received yesterday
morning through the matron Of the Odd
Fellows Orphan Home at Goldsboro, q
very sweet note of hanks for his
kindnesses to the inmates of the Home,
and with the letter was a token from
them, as a further evidence of their
appreciation of his thoughtfulness in
providing them with comforts and
pleasure in their annual outings on our
coast.
The gift is a beautiful gold heart,
bearing the inscription Il. o. o. f.
on the diverse side, and on the reverse.
IN. w. j." This gift is highly appre-
ciated by Mr.. Jacob and is worn by
him as a watch charm. When it is re-
membered that the inmates of an lnsSi-
tuition k the Home have little or no
opportunity of earning money, the
purchase and presentation of such a
token, made by the offerings of the
pennies or nickles of these unfortu-
nate ones, saved by the denial of lux
uries, has an inestimable value.

BY Acid.

Capt. Rob- Green is suffering from
the effects of strong carbolic acid
being rubbed on his face. AND though
relieved to a degree, his face is stin
giving him trouble. Yesterday when
Capt. Green finished shaving, he took
a small bottle, which he supposed con-
tanned glycerine and rum, from a shelf
and without looking at it, poured his
hand fun and applied it very freely TO
his face.
The acid burned him furiously n
after applying sweet oil On his face,
hurried to DR.. Mcmillan, who applied
a preparation of vaseline and oil which
soon gave him relief.
Capt. Green's lace is perfectly raw,
the acid having destroyed all The outer
tissues and was rapidly eating it's way.
His hands are also burned.
Iy, none of the acid got into his eyes.
When seen yesterday afternoon he was
much relieved of pain and doing as
we'll as could be expected.
