JAMAICA GINGER DRINKING.
Results From Its Use in Maine as a
Substitute for Liquor.

hSobttS TTOH ltS Use III MdlHG dS q
Substitute for Liquor.
No Maine woodsman has been killed
by liquor recently, but four have killed
themselves by drinking the contents
of bottle labeled "Jamaica Ginger"
A few weeks ago the bodies of Hor-
ace L. Gardner and Clinton Gardner,
BROTHERS, were found in a camp near
Machias. The stomachs of the men
were sent to Bowdoin College for ex-
animation, and on the report of the
analyst a coroner's jury decided that
the men came to their death from
drinking a mixture, put up, as the
labels on the bottles state, by the
Hoyt Medicine Company, of Boston,
and purporting to be Jamaica ginger.
Upon analysis, this "ginger" was
found to be composed of alcohol and
capsicum, or red pepper, with only
slight trace of ginger.
A few days ago two woodsmen in a
camp near Patten, Penobscot county,
were taken sick with chills, and, no
liquor being at hand, they bought
from the "wangan." or camp store,
a supply of so-called Jamaica ginger.
The more they drank of the stuff the
more they wanted, and soon their con-
dition became so alarming that a man
was sent to the nearest town for a
physician. One of the men died In
agony long before the physician ar
rived, and the other is still in a criti-
cal condition. The wOodsmen say the
sufferings of the two men were fright
full. They clawed at the floor and
sides Of the camp, and frothed at The
mouth in their frenzy, while one of
them begged his companions to take
an axe and knock him on the head.
or to cut him open to see what it was
that was burning him up.
Vast quantities of this so-called Ja-
malca ginger are taken into the wood
camps every winter hy the " wangaI
keepers and sold TO the men at a dol
lar a bottle, the retail price at Bangor
and elsewhere being generally twenty.
five cents. When the men are sick
they take it, and often when hey de-
sire liquor they drink the ginger as
a substitute. 1t is sold all over Maine
in large quantities, especially in those
sections where the prohibitory liquor
law is enforced. In Lewiston, fav-
orite drink, called Lincoln Street
Split" is made by pouring two small
bottles of this ginger into a six-qua-t
pail Of old cider. No whiskey or imi
tation Of whiskey ever made could
equal the effect Of this mixture. Il
is worse than Russian vodka, and
plain alcohol is mild compared with
it. In many country towns the sale
of this ginger cOncoctiOn is causing.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
Puritan Granite Sheds Suffer Consld-
cradle Loss.

At five minutes before III clock
last night fire broke out in the Puri-
tan Granite Co.'s sheds at Jockey
Hollow and the engine room, with all
it's machinery and fixtures, was burn
ed to the ground or destroyed. The
adjoining sheds and polishing mill
were charred somewhat but no great
damage was done there The exact
extent Of the whole damage would be
difficult to estimate, but it will ag-
gregate several hundred dollars.
The fire started in a peculiar man
ner. James X. Fowlfe, the proprie-
tor, and his brother were in the boile::
room, and had just filed up the boiler,
when Mr.. Fowlie took a kerosene
lamp and went around to the rear Of
the boiler to see that everything was
all right While here the lamp ex-
ploded, burning his hand quite badly,
and almost instantaneously the build
ing was in flames. The alarm was
sounded at once from box 49,. The fire
laddies arrived on the scene with re-
markable slacrity and the fire was
kept from the other buildings by their
skill.

Verv often our attention is called to the
various changes and the progress that
has been made in the last century ana
naturally the question arises as to the
causes of these changes.
Fifty years ago the sons OF the family
were given the necessary education to mt
them for public life, while the daughters
were sent to. school when they could be
spared from household cares. They re.
mained at home until some favorable
suitor appeared when they settled down.
congratulating themselves they had e.
capped the disgrace Of being an "old

to be obliged to work they had the choice
of school teaching or dressmaking, these
being about the only occupations consid-
cred suitable for their sex. Then wom-
en- were not expected to be in the public
spheres of life, both on account OF pub
lie sentiment and because in some cases
it required higher education, which was
neither considered necessary nor within
the reach of the majority.
As time progressed these advantages
became more easily obtained and public
sentiment was obligea to give way to
ambition. This is why the American
woman, to-day, ranks rs high in many
respects as the men. I would like to
quote few lines from one, who has trav-
elled all over the world and ought to
have been a good Judge, Hon P. T.
Barnum: "Men who have in all ages

statement.

has furnished in the suburbs Of New

No one Is allowed to Cross the threshold
only on these conditions, and here they

Mrs Booths success Is in the fact that
she is non-committal. She never dis
closes any condolences entrusted to her.
Newspaper correspondents she has no
use for whatever. At the opening of our
war with Cuba the name Helen Miller
Gould was brought before the public by
the bountiful check presented to the
government. After the war was over
and soldiers were brought to Montauk
Point, she went there and finding the
