General News.
Newsboy TO General Manager,

An event of considerable interest to
the New England railroad world is the
promotion of Franklin W. Cram to be
president as well as general manager OF
the Bangor and Aroostook railroad.
At the aunnal meeting of the company
in Bar gor Tuesday, Oct. 16, Albert A.
Burleigh, who had been president of the
road since its completion, and who was
virtually its founder, retired from the
presidency and was succeeded by Mr..
Cram. This change was entirely in accor-
dance with Mr.. Burleigh's desires. He

linquish the responsibilities of the Office

delight the progress of the cure, marked
by frightening eyes, reddening cheeks,
and rounding form.
Woman's general health depends largely
upon the local health of the organs dis
tinctively feminine. Irregular periods in
maidenhood, followed after marriage by
facilitating drains, and the common con-
sequences of motherhood, inflammation,
liberation, and displaced organs, ruin the
general health. These conditions are en-
tirely removed by "Favorite Prescription"
the body blossoms in new beauty, and the
mind is entirely freed from gloom and de-
spondency. "Favorite Prescription" is not
stimulant, containing no alcohol or whisky.
"In October 1889 gave birth to baby and the
treatment received at the hands of the midwife
left me with female weakness" writes Mrs.
Cordelia Henson, of Coalton, Boyd Co., KY. II

and give to Mr.. Cram larger latitude
his esteem for that official being very
high. In order that the company may
officially retain the benefit Of his counse
Mr.. Berleigh consented to act as vice
president. Franklin W. Cram. the new
president and general manager was
bred railroad man and has filled every
position ION the line" from newsboy to
his present station. The meeting also
voted to lease the Patten & Sherman
railroad, which was built by Mr.. Bur.

Germanys New Chancellor.
Prince Hohenlohe has resigned as i'm
perial chancellor, and Emperor William
has designated as the retiring chan
celor's successor Count Won Buelow,
minister of foreign affairs. Count Won
Buelow is also appointed Prussian min
lister and will continue as foreign minis
ter. 1t is understood that Emperor
William will send special message re-
garding the Chinese situation to the
reichstag when that body convenes on
Nov. IA the date agreed upon between
Emperor William and Count Won
Buelow.
Mary wilkins TO Marry.
Miss Mary Wilkins the author, is soon
to be married. The date is not yet fixed
definitely, but it will be within the next
six weeks. DR.. Charles Freeman of
Metuchen, N. J.. is the happy man. The
wedding is to be quiet home affair. at
which only relatives and a few friends
are to be present. The marriage will
come as the elimination of a romance
quite as delightful as some of those
charming tales which have made her
name famous. Years ago she met DR..
Freeman at Metuchen, town an hours
ride from New York, while visiting her
friends, the Aldens. Love developed, and
he asked her to be his wife. The betroth-
al became fact, but was kept secret. DIFF
ficulties arose, however, and at one time
it seemed as if complete separation was
inevitable. But year ago last summer
the clouds were dispelled. DR.. Freeman
visited Miss Wilkins at her cottage in
Plymouth, where she was summering
with the Wales family, and since that
time all has gone as merry as wedding
bell Miss Wilkins is now about 40, but
she looks 10 years younger. DR.. Free
man is year or two younger.
Ernest Seton-Thompson who lectures
in this town in February writes to Bird
Lore from abroad of growing supersti-
tion in Paris against the wearing of
"aigrettes," which with characteristic
originality, he voices in rhyme, as fol-
lows:
The Danes OF France no longer wear
The plumes they used to prize;
They find that aigrettes in the hair
Bring crows feet in the eyes.

A Hard Rain.

at rains a great deal in the Puget
sound country" said the man from
that section, land l heard of a funny
incident not long ago about it. Some
chap had come from the Missippi val
,ey TO take up his residence at What
com, On Bellingham bay, where there
are very high tides. When the boat
landed him at the end of the long pier
extending over the tide flats the water
was low and the new man didn't notice
ANYTHING but a wide stretch of sand
between the boat and the town. 1t
was in the evening about dark and was
raining, and he went to the hotel on
the front street and stayed there, going
to bed without having gone out for
walk. The next morning when he got
I'D he looked out and the tide was IN,
the water coming up close to the hotel.
He gazed at the widespread waters for
an instant, and, throwing up his hands
in astonishment, he exclaimed, Gee
Whiz, but it must have rained hard
last night Then he hurried down
stairs to the Office to find out if there
was any danger from the flood, and the
clerk smiled four or five times and
gave him some much-needed informa-
ton. Washington Star.
