the World.
The British admiralty has decided
to build two battleships, which are in
tended to be the largest in the world.
The distinction of having the largest
warships has hitherto been held BY
Italy, with the Sepanto nd her sister
ship, the Italia. Great Britain's two
projected large warships, to be re-
spectively named the Queen and the
Prince of Wales, will be 1000 tons
heavier than the Italian ships men
toned, reaching tie enormous dis
placement Of 1900 tons. which 10
$500 heavier than Americas biggest
armor-clad vessel. These tremendous
British vessels will carry nothing larg-
er than 12-inch guns. Their batteries
will be composed chiefly OF these guns
and of 75-inch and 6-inch guns. The
determination to increase the bulk OF
the hattleships only was arrived Al
after much discussion, for since the
days OF the Royal Sovereign (of 14.15e
tons) the admiralty has been inclined
| to favor battleships Of smaller dis
placement, of which the Campus (o1
| 1880 tons) is the best type.

REV. w, A. DAWSON

The many friends OF Rev. w. A Dawson
will be pleased to learn that at the annual
meeting OF the Baptist State convention
just closed at Burlington, he was unani-
nously reappointed State missionary and
given an increase in sals OF $500 a year,
and expenses. This act shows the high az
probation with which the work done by
by Mr.. ID Ivison is held by the denomna-
ton in the State. His title of State mis-
sionary was changed at this time to super
intendent of missions aud he has teen given
en- tire charge of the ninety.six Baptist
churches in the State.
BY his report TO the convention some idea
OF the work done by him during the past
year can be obtained. He has travelled
10000 miles by train and 1873 by team, Wis.,
tied 80 different churches, preached in AZ
churches, preaching in II 206 sermons dur
ing the year and has written 942 letters.
Mr.. Davison's headquarters have formerly
been in this city but in the future will be
at Burlington, so that he can be more cen.
trslly located. He was in the city over
Thursday night leaving Friday for WorCes-
ter, Mass, to visit relatives for week.

FOR THE CHILDREN'S SAKE.

Frauds in medicine often takes the form
of murder 10 other words, tlme-honored
remedies OF specific curative powers are
basely initiated, made to look and t ste like
the genuine prescription, but entirely Lack
ing in those ingredients necessary to save
precious lives, for which the real article
was discovered and prescribed by physi
ciau OF world vide emiueuce in the field OF
therapeutics. One OF the most gigantic
frauds OF this character perpetrated in this
country is the imitation OF "Castoria,"
which imitation is absolutely vslueless for
medicinal purposes and exceedingly dan
gerous in her respects since it fails to sc-
complish what II WAS purchased for, and at
the same time 1t prevents the use OF otheI
remedies owing the absolute confidence
OF the users in the real "Cestoria," which
they believe they are using. The principal
victims are poor litl3 children, and the
crime of making money frsuduIently 10 in
creased thousand fold since Innocent lives
are the price Of the gain.
A yone capable of taking great house,
hold remedy like "Csstoria" and fraudu-
emily substituting under its name spurious
compound is deserving Of drastic punish
mem. Such an act inftct au injury on the
public at large and imperils lives that would
Otherwise have the safeguard of the legiti-
mat prescrip ion, il is almost impossible
for proprietors OF standard medicines to
prevent spurious limitations from ting
into the market. The law on this su bject,
however, has become so strict that hence
forth the fac-simile signature of Chas. II
Fletcher on "CastoriA" wrappers and la
bells will, fortunately for the public, be
sufficient guarantee that the contents are
genuine.

GRAVE CHARGES

DR.. j. A. Dow Of West Topsham is under
arrest, charged with setting rire to and des-
troying the greater part OF the business sec
ton of that community He has been re-
l3aseu under 81 OOO bonds To appear at u
hearing set for october 2.
This recent development rather unex-
pectedly grows out OF events that occurred
about the first OF July when fire destroyed
Doctor Dow's house and barn, two stores, a
church and several houses. 1t ives then
given out that the doctor, coming home late
one night had upset his lantern in the barn
while embarrassing his horse and that this
accident wa, the cause OF the fire.
Doctor Dow had an insurance of SLIGO
in the Union Mutual Of Montpelier, $6SS on
medicines and books, and $500 on house,
hold goods, which was paid him in due
time. 1t appears, however, that certain
neighbors have been suspicious Of the affair
and the doctors connection with IL from
the very beginning and that they have now
found ABOUT two miles from West Topsh IN
what they claim are the original books and
medicines covered by this insurance. They
contend that 1t is a case of setting the fire
10 Ret.the insurance and propose TO see the
affair pfobed to the bottom.
Meanwhile, the Union Mutual has
brought suit in Washington county court to
recover the money paid De-. Dow. and the
case has been brought to the attention of
the grand jury, probably for It's action
based upon some OF the allegations therein
made, apart from the civil nature of the
suit. II Is said that Dow had assigned this
insurance to his mother, but the Union
Mutual paid the money TO him before IL
knew OF the assignment. The whole affair
has aroused great sensation in that sec
ton.
