When preparation has an advertised rep.
utatlon that is worldwide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. III You go into
a store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, YOU feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The Judgment
of the people is lnfallible because it is i'm
personal The retailer who wants to sell you
something else in place of the article you
ask for, has an AK to grind. Don't it stand to
reason? He's trying to sell something that
is not what he represents it to be- Why?
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
our of your. ceredulity ~, Don't you see
through his little game? The man who will
try to sell you substitute for Cascarets
is fraud Beware of him! He is trying to
steal the honestly earned benefits of a repu-
tation which another business man has paid
for, and if his conscience will allow him to
go so far, he will go farther. If he cheats
his customer in one way. he will in another
and it is not safe to do business with him.
Beware of the Cascaret substitutor!
Remember Cascarets are never sold in
bulk but in metal boxes with the long tailed

EVERYBODY SPENT MONEY.
Augusta Merchants Raped a Harycs. F..
Christmas Holiday Trade.

It's al over Our stores present 4
scene OF confusion with goods piled
topsy turvy while TIE footsore and
heavy eyed clerks are trying TO bring
order out of chaos. But the merchants
rub their hands with satisfaction and
smile with Joy as they look about their
stores. and well they may for the holt
day season has been a veritable gold
mine to them. Goods of all descr,p-
tion have flown ike hot cakes to the
eager Christmas purchasers. Every
body had some money to spend ana
the result is that all previous records
for Christmas trade in Augusta were
broken, last week.
Two great factors in the success
which attended hustlng business in
Augusta were the favorable weather
and the excellent sleighinS. All the
roads leading from the country into
, the capital We're traversed by an i'm
mcnse number of slcighs in which
were father. mother and little Willie,
al coming in to buy Christmas pres
cnts. Augusta people also showed
libcrality and loosencd their purse
strings to make somebody happy. The
result was an immense amount of
trade for our merchants.
Every store seemed to receive a
generous patronage. OF course the
toy stores came in for a huge amount
of business. There were many new
ideas in toys. this year, and n large
number of those things which cause
young hearts to rejoiCe-tin sailors
that climb ropes, fuzzy rabbits that
jump. animals that run about the floor
propelled by clock work and thou
sends of things just as interesting.
The toy stores reaped harvest.
There was great demand for Japa-
ncse and China ware, fancy wood
work, cut glass and the other innum-
cradle novelties. found in art stores
and drug stores and there was =
large sale of books. The dry goods
stores were by no means behind in the
race as any of the weary clerks will
testify.
That the grocery stores had about
all they could attend to goes without
saying. Heavily loaded wagons piled
high with turkeys and other good
things with which Augusta tables
We're laden on Christmas day. Almost
without an exception our merchant
assert that the holiday trade of 1900
exceeded that OF previous years and
the fact is good proof of the period of
prosperity which the State is enjoy
ing at the present time.

THE DELLA COLLINS
Will Survive The Scuthpor: Wreck Something
OF Her History.

When the good steamer Della Collins
was announced to have gone ashore
On the inhoSpitab bic rocks of Southport
where. after pounding divers holes in
her bOttom. she sunk beneath the wa
ters of ThompSon's cove there were
serious Irisgivings on the part of
many that she would ever again be
seen among her accustomed haunts
along the kcnnebec. 1t was at first
reported that she had received dam
ages amounting to nearly $4,000 and
that the work of repairing would he Il
serious one. Subsequent investigation.
however. showed that the first reports
were more or less exaggerated and
that she can he repaired for a much
smaller amount. so that in all proba-
bility. when the sprinEtime comes
again. she will still be seen making
her trips upon the river, as in days
of yore.
The Della is n remarkable boat in
many ways, and it would cause a feel
ing Of deep regret were she to tie brok
en- up for old junk. Ever since she
made her advent upon the Kennebec,
some 20 odd years ago, hers has been
other craft that is propelled by steam
can hope to equal. Her popularity of
model renders her very difficult boat
to handle especially in a wind. and
how to steer her successfully has al
ways proved difficult problem for the
different officers who have had COM
mand. In fact, within a few years
her movements We're so erratic that it
was currently reported that she was
afraid of the cars.
Probably the most excitement that
she ever occasioned at one time was
when. n long time ago. she carried an
excursion to Squirrel Island. The late
Capt. McClintock was then in com
mand, and though he was a capable
officer on q propeller or side wheel
steamer. the eccentricities of the Della
were more than a match for him.
There were several minor incidents on
the way down the river. but the boat
behaved fairly we'll until Squirrel Is
land was reached.
1t was never known just what hap
pened at this juncture. but when 4
landing was attempted. instead of ap
preaching the wharf side to. she made
a wild charge for it. bow on. as if de-
termined to ram the island from its
foundations. This created some con-
sternation on board as well as on the
wharf but was increased ten fold when
a moment later, in backing away. the
Della gathered in a small yacht with
her stern wheel and sent the yacht
to the bottom.
This was but one of her exploits,
and whole columns might be written
regarding them. But she is more easily
ged now than in former years,
owing to alterations that We're made
upon her a few years ago, and the
present commander. Capt. Lewis, han
dies her very successfully.

WINTER CATARRH
in All Its Phases and Stages Cured by

They do 80 because they have learned

Nearly everybody has catarrh. This
is more especially true among the mid
die and lower classes. Exposure to the
climate, hard work, and unventilated
sleeping rooms are the principal causes.
Charitable institutions have found, by
| bitter experience, that catarrhal dis
eases are not only the most numerous
Of all other diseases put together, but
| they are the hardest to cure.
Peruna is a specific for this class Of
diseases. No other remedy can take its
place. Thousands Of cases of chronic
catarrh are cured by the use of simply
l bottle. People who have spent largo
sums to be cured of catarrh, have turned
| to Peruna as q last resort, and been
cured by the use Of single bottle.
1t is sure cure for coughs, colds, 10
grippe and catarrh in its many phases.
Whether the catarrh is located in the
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or
pelvic organs, Peruna is prompt and
never.failing cure. '-A

Hon. Charles +. Libby of Portland. Hon.
Frank NJ. Higgins Of Limerick. and Hon.
Hannibal l.. Hamlin Of Ellsworth. who
are commissioners for the State of Maine
for the promotion of uniformity of leGis-
lation in the United States, havc made
their third biennial report.
Conferences have been mainly engaged
in perfccting a bill relating to procedure
in divorce eases. An examination of this
bill shows that ii attempts to furnish
remedy for some of the alleged evils that
have attended divorce procedure in the
different states and especially the evil of
what is known as migratory" or carpet
bag" divorces. This bin will tend to pre-
vent a change of residence which is made
in order to procure a divorce for a cause
that arose in another state, and was not
cause of divorce in that state. and will
thus cut off large number of divorces
which have been rc.'roach to our laws.
1t also attempts to introduce uniform
ity as to length of residence required in
the various states on the part of persons
applying for divorce and attempts to deal
with the difficult element of good faith in
connection with such residence. Personal
service is also required wherever feasible,
and in case the residence OF the absent
party is alleged to be unknown, proof is
required of reasonable inquiry and search
to ascertain the residence, continued for
one year, before divorce can be procured.
The bill attempts to prohibit star
chamber divorces by requiring all hear
ings in such cases to be before a court in
open session. In cases where no defend
ant has appeared and notice is given by
publication only, decree nisi is to be
entered which is not to become final until
after an interval of six months. This
will give an opportunity to the absent
party to show cause, if any exists, why
the bonds of matrimony should not he
dissolved, and will serve an available
safeguard where Enthusiastically testi-
mony has been introduced.
The bill which accompanied the report
will be referred to the committee on jul
dietary at the coming session of the Leg
islature.
