i With all the mass Of musical farce
comedies and suggestive French farces
that crowd the stage, now-a-d days, it is
a relief to find occasionally an entertain-
ing comedy that does not depend for its
success upon indenceny or rag time mel
odies. Playgoers will have an opportun-
3ity at the Bijou next week to see bright
breezy American comedy In .'All On Ac-
count Of Eliza" that is neither farcial nor
musical. It does not rely on the intro

Artificial PROPAGATION.

that scores and scores of leading Nc

of the politicians, is there not suffi

OLD ACE .
Here Is Way To Help Make Fathers and
Mothers Happy In Their Declining Years.

We would like to remind everybody in
this town who has an aging father or
mother, of one duty they owe to them.
Make their last years happy and pleas
ant ones. There is no way of doing this
better than keeping our dear old friends
and relatives strong, healthy and robust.
We wish everyone who feels that they
have passed the turning point in life
would call ON us and let us explain every
thing that VINOL will do.
We know surely that this is great re-
builder, flesh maker and strength creator.
We have posted ourselves thoroughly on
the reasons at to why it is the greatest
tonic in the world. Here is letter that
will interest all who are growing old or
who need tonic. 1t reads as follows:
"My mother is over eighty years of
age. Her strength was very much de-
pleted and her appetite left her. The
doctors said we must get her a good tonic,
so we decided to try VlNOL. 1t proved
to be Just the medicine my motherneeded
for it built her up wonderfully. &C. A.
TALBOT, Bangor, Maine"
We indorse VINOL and stand prepared
to prove all the claims that we make for
this tonic, and will gladly refund to any
one who buys VINOL of us the money
that they have paid for it, if they are not
satisfied with what it does.

Eloquent Plea for the Irish Cause.

The address at the opera house Sun
day afternoon by Hon. Joseph Devlin,
M. p, on the subject "The Mission
to America" was attended by large
crowd who listened to every word that
fell from the lips of the orator with
great interest. Mr.. Devlin. after
giving short history of the movement
being inauguarated by the United
Irish League, made an eloquent plea
for the assistance of both the Irish
and Americans in this country in the
struggle now going on for the freedom,
or at least the better government, of
Ireland. DR.. j. p. O'Keefe of Boston,
one of the leaders Of this movement
in America, also made short address.
A pleasing musical program of Irish
airs was rendered by a chorus under
the leadership of DR.. F. H. O'Connor.

Irish people in every rightful struggle
for freedom, on account of it's large
Irish population, but it is sorry to have
so many meetings of this kind held

Miss Whittier has a sweet rich voice

much to the pleasure of the afternoon.

Loo Drive Comma Early.

The International Paper company is
being extremely successful this far in
running the annual drives of logs
down the Connecticut river and the
present prospect is that all will be
safely doomed here a number of
months earlier than in the average
season, and possibly earlier than ever
before. Both drives. that from the
Wild Ammonoosuc. in New Hampshire,
and that from the White River in Yer
mont. were let into the Connecticut
at Woodsville and White River juno
ton Monday of last week, and began
accommodating in the booms here two or
three days later. Both are coming to-
gether instead of separately as in
former years, and they will probably
all be here within a few weeks. In
former years it has been a practice
to bring them in separately, letting
the big drive" of the Connecticut
River Manufacturing company pass
here. between the two, thus delaying
the completion of the work some
months. The large drive is just now
being let in at the head waters of the
Connecticut and boom stretched just
north of Wells river will hold them
until the logs of the International
company are doomed here. The In
ternational company's two drives ag-
gregate nearly twelve million feet,
which is somewhat larger than in
former years, while the Connecticut
River drive will pass here with about
the same amount as usual. sixty-five
million feet.
