Adj. Gen. Edw. c. SWEET of the Maine
Department @. A. h. has recently been
to Philadelphia, and made arrangements
for the entertainment of the Maine Vete-
rams who purpose to attend the National
Encampment at that city in Septem-
Der. Headquarters of the department
will be 1T the Continental Hotel and the
rush for hotel accommodation is such
that those who desire rooms must file
their applications early. Adj. Gen.
SWEET has the option of few rooms at
the above named hotel or had few days
ago, but in order to secure them they
must be applied for early. There are
other hotels, however, and the Quaker
city will probably have accommodations
for all who may desire to attend this
annual event of such great interest to
veterans. The railroad fare from Port
land to Philadelphia and return is placed
at the low figure of $1,000, with the ad-
dition of one fare for the round trip from
all points on the Maine Central to and
from Portland. These are indeed favor
able rates and many Maine veterans will
doubtless avail themselves of them.

The latest use of barbed wire fencing
is as medium of telephone communica-
ton. 1t is said to be utilized In Mason
county, Illinois, in several places. 1t
started with line mile and half
long, instituted by an amateur electri-
clan to connect his fathers farm house
with the post-otiice, and this worked so
we'll that seven other lines were estab-
lshed, twenty-one miles in length, and
operating thirty-eight telephones. There
are wonderful possibilities even in the
commonplace wire fence when electricity
is hitched up with it.

sketches Of travel, and articles OF
general interest, all profusely IL
lustrated; but in addition to this
each number contains an article
of philosophical. economic or sci
entifc nature. The leading arti-
Gle in the May number is "Welt-
merism-The New Era in Heal
ing" This is capable review of
the Weltmer Method of Magnetic
Healing, the new science that is
creating so much interest in the
United States and Europe. The
article takes up the question from
a scientific standpoint, and shows
the fundamental principles upon
which the science is based. The
writer visited the Weltmer Insti-
tute at Nevada, Mo-, for the pur-
pose Of research, and was astound-
ed at the marvellous cures effected.
Since Prof. Weltmer discovered
the new science three years ago
! and commenced its practice in Ne
vada, over 10000 patients have
been treated, and the halt, the
lame, and the blind have been
cured. The article also describes
how the sick may be cured at a
distance by system of treatment
prescribed by Professor Weltmer,
upon the patients sending to him a
statement OF their cases. The
cures effected by this method are
as remarkable as when personally
treated. The new science has
opened up another avenue of busi-
ness for young men and women
and hundreds are taking the
course OF instruction. The Welt
mer Method of Magnetic Healing
is winning the admiration of the
most noted physicians, for nearly
all the cures effected had been
given up by doctors as hopeless.
The remarkable success attending
his discoveries has stamped Prot.
S. A. Weltmer as one of the great
men OF the age.

The imperial organ of the hu-
man system is the eye. All through
the Bible God eulogizes it; 534
times does that book speak OF the
eye. The eye is one of the organs
most liable to render life a miser-
able failure, loathsome burden.
Loss OF sight is the very king Of
terrors, while an impairment of
vision is CHASTITY source of anx-
iety, o! constant dread, of sicken-
ing mental worry, to say never a
word of acute physical anguish.
The defective eye always makes
itself manifest in one way or an
other. Headache, blurring, wink
ing, trembling, dizziness, inflam-
nation, granulation, smarting, all
of which and many other symptoms
should be taken as a warning of
untold approaching misery. If
you have any disease OF theeeye,
ear, nose or throat, or catarrh, or
if you need glasses, do not fail to
take this rare opportunity to call
on DR.. kalmen c. Sapero, the ers-
inent physician and surgeon, who
is one of the most successful men
OF the age in the treatment OF his
specialties, the eye, ear, nose,
throat and catarrh, and nervous
diseases. For years past he has
devoted his entire time to the dis
eases of these organs, and his
fame has spread from coast to
coast as the most able practitioner.
Nor do patients need to be re-
ferred to strangers to learn of the
truth OF his ability, for right here
in this vicinity hundreds have
been benefited by his treatment.
He will be at the Park House
four days, May 24th to 2Sth.
Those who are unfortunate and
unable to pay will receive the same
treatment free of charge. If you
have to have treatment, or if you
require glasses ground, call early.
