A reception was given Mai. w. S. r.
Burnette, the new superintendent of
the Kennebec Valley Children's Home.
at the Congregational vestry, yesterday
afternoon. The vestry was filled with
n large and interested audience, among
which were 16 children from the home
The meeting was called to order by
Rev Norman McKinnon, who extended
the welcome of the pastors to Maj.
Burnette and introduced c. G.. Hunt,
president of the occasion. Major Bur
nette was introduced and gave an ad-
dress upon the plans and work of the
organization. He endeavored to show
| that the care of INDECENT and homeless
children in a home like the one over
which he is to preside was the most
economical and Christian like He
said it was the intention to make the
work Statewide. The State is to be
/ divided into districts which are to be
in charge of district superintendents.
Each district superintendent will can
vass his or her district for homeless
children and chldless homes. The
| object will not be so much that Of
home giving as of home finding and
while many will be boarded in the
home here many will be placed in
families where they will be cared for.
| Major Burnette is not new in this
work. having been state superintend-
ent for similar organization in Iowa
| for 10 years, and will undoubtedly sue
! ceed in making the Kennebec Valley
| Home an instrument of great influ-

Letter to Treby johnson.
Augusta, Maine.

Dear Sir: Mr.. H.. H.. Stephenson,
Cashier of Oil City tPa.) Savings
Bank writes. Mine years ago 1 paint
ed my house with your paint. 1t wore
so well. want to use it again.
That's nothing wonderful except. for
the fact that the soft coal region OF
PENNSYLVANIA is pretty hard on paint
with it's oil, smoke and CRIME. All we
see in it is that Devoe is good for nine
years sometimes. There are thou
sands of people that know it, and
millions that don't.
There's the rub! We print for the
millions: we want to make paint fol
the millions
Mr.. Cashier, do you know that sDevoe
lead ard zinc is worth twice as much
as old-fashion painters paint, lead and
oil. and costs no more? Is 100 per
cent. a fair profit in your business?
Three-1uarters of the people paint
lead and Oil mixed by hand: while
the U. S. Government use lead, zinc
and oil ground together by fnachin-
ery-same proportions as Devoe lead
and zinc. The majority never is
right about anything.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvOE.

William Harvey & Sons, proprietors
Of the Readfield wooden mills, have
made an assignment to Joseph Will
hanson. Jr., of this city, for the bene-
fit of their creditors. For many years
William Harvey has been a prominent
factor in the business world of Ken
nebec county, and his many friends
hope his present embarrassment is only
temporary. The firm has been en-
gagged in the manufacture of salt, edge
tools. woolens and clothing and has
given employment to a large number

TOLL GATE iNN," TONIGHT.
1t Proved One Of the Greatest Hits Of
the Season at BANGOR.

The Bangor Daily News of last
Saturday has the following compli-
mentary criticism of Toll Gate Inn
which appears at the Opera House to-
night:
"'Toll Gate Inn,' romance of the
Revolution. by Langdon Mccormick.
was produced for the first time in Ban
gor. in the Opera house Friday night.
by company headed by that excellent
actor. William Beach, under the direc-
ton of VIM. l.. Malley. Both the play
and the acting of it gave great satis-
faction to fair-siZed audience. the ap-
plause at times amounting to an ova-
ton for Mr.. Beach and his chief asso-
ciates.
William Beach, who is known and
admired by many Bangor theatre go
ers, appeared to splendid advantage in
the role of Poatchie, the half-breed.
the character affording excellent op-
portunity for the display of his ster-
ling dramatic abilities, while his noble
voice added greatly to the effect of his
ilnpersonation. Among the others,
Harry Scott, as Captain Smell, made a
first-rate impression, and Blanche
Sherley was a favorite as Hester PEN
nington.
THE second and third acts are par
ticularly strong, with Poatchie and
Captain Smell as the central figures,
and at the close of the third there
We're repeated curtain calls. Alto
gether, Toll Gate Inn must rank
among the very best things of the
season here"

Do not think for moment that the incon.
venience and distress Is all there Is to
dyspepsia.
The disagreeable symptoms OF dyspepsia
are Of the least account. Because the health
reports do not list dyspepsia as causing death
people seem tothink 1t is more disagreeable
than dangerous. but the reverse is true.
Some other disease. as consumption or
typhoid fever,is credited with the fatal III
ness, but dyspepsia made these diseases
possible.
Imperfect digestion was responsible for a
state OF chronic starvation, the h;f-f fed It's
sues possessed little power of resistance and
were an easy prey to the germs Of consump-
tion.
Imperfect digestion permitted germs In
swallowed food and water to get through the
stomach, where they should have been killed
and digested by the powerful gastric Juice,
and enter the bowel In the secretions of which
or bowel fever is the result.
Imperfect digestion allowed food to rot
and decompose, the putrid mass was alb
sorbed into the blood and by it carried to
every part of the body. In some eases this
deleterious material in the blood developed
fevers that proved fatal. In other cases it
settled in some tissue and. If near the sur
face. resulted In boils or the so frequently
fatal carbuncle; or II in deeper tissues form
ed an abscesS with its attendant distresses,
dangers, often fatalities. In still other cases
this poison from putrid, fermenting but
partially digested food, overtaxed those
organs called upon to eliminateit and injured
the lungs, the liver. or developed Bright's
disease in the kidneys.
Yet, mind you, none Of all these deaths
were credited to dyspepsia; no one was
warned against indigestion; all were left to
suppose 1t to be only a disagreeable condi-
tion devoid Of danger.

At 4.3O, Saturday morning. a special
immigrant train, filled with 400 inn
migrants fresh from Europe. passed
through this city on it's way to Bos-
ton. The people aboard had been land
ed at St John the first of the week,
having come across the Atlantic in
English steamers. These special trains
carrying immigrants pass through Au-
gusta every month regularly, nova
days. There are from seven to 10 cars
on each train and they are generally
loaded with home-seekers going to the
centers of the country. These people
as rule do not speak English. They
are Greeks. Syrians. Russians, Swedes,
Norwegians, and the like. Men, wo-
men and children are huddled together
on the trains in perfect abandon and
it is utterly impossible to preserve the
rules of cleanliness, although the rail-
road employees try to keep the cars as
clean as possible.

"Human Hearts," Wednesday Night.

The mission of the drama is fulfilled
when it depicts country and city life as
it is. a combination of pathos, hero
ism. villiany and comedy commends it
self to students of human nature and
those who seek entertainment. The
pure life of the country, when skill
fully blended with the upper ten"
and 'lower five" of a city, like New
York, forms, an interesting study for
men and women of all classes. And
the moral lesson that such play
teaches is wholesome. Human
Hearts," an established melodramatic
success for several seasons deals with
these elements in a natural manner
and it leaves no chance for artificial
methods. The story OF the play that
is of absorbing interest appeals to all
kinds of play-goers. It's presentation
at the Opera House on next Wednes-
day will be one of the events of the
theatrical season and will no doubt
draw a crowded house. The seat sale
will open this morning.

ABOUT HEADQUARTERS.

Colonel Watres said yesterday after
noon that he would endeavor to use
every influence to have General Goblin
make his brigade headquarters in this
city which is central point. He SEEM
ed inclined to believe that another reGi-
ment would be assigned to assist his
command in covering the territory be-
tween this city and Carbondale.
Three members of Company G., Of
Montrose. were fooling in the bath
house yesterday morning, when one
pulled his j ack-knife and playfully
threatened to cut his companions if
they didn't let him take bath first.
In the struggle which followed the
men were slightly cut. The playful SOL
dier was taken to the guard house. 1t
was not a "stabbing affray," as re-
ported, by any manner of means.
A member of Company G went to Oily
phant yesterday and looked upon the
wine when it was red. A number of
children followed him. whereupon he
fired his revolver into the ground. The
men are not supposed to carry any
weapons except their rifles, and the
soldier in question was accordingly ar
rested and placed in the guard house.
Two other members of the regiment,
who went on protracted spree early
in the week, have been sentenced to
thirty days confinement in the guard
house at hard labor

Employees Of Contractor Cannon Ar
rested by Railway Company.

through its agents, Stephen Dyer and
Morgan Sweeney, yesterday caused the
arrest Of Walter Walsh and James
Malta employees Of Contractor Thomas
Cannon. VINO were engaged at work on
the sewer now being constructed across
lower I.ackawanna avenue.
The contention was that the work.
men were obstructing the passage Of
cars near Franklin and Lackawanna
avenues, and the warrants were issued
by Alderman Howe. The hearing was
begun at 8 o'clock, and lasted nearly
two hours.
city Solicitor Watson appeared for
the city. and Charles T. O'Malley for
the Railway company. Dyer and Swee-
ney testified that the cars were repeat
edly stopped by the workmen, but their
testimony was contradicted by Evan
Thomas, an inspector in the employ Of
the bureau of engineering.
City Engineer Phillips testified that
the work was being done according to
his plans. and that an agreement had
been reached between him and Man
ager Silliman that the cars should only
be stopped at certain points near where
the work is being done
The defendants were each fined 81,
but the charge was afterwards with
drawn. and the two men discharged.
Cannon was arrested for interfering
with Special Officer Dyer in arresting
Walsh and Malia, and he was held in
$500 bail for appearance at court.

NEITHER SIDE SCORED,
Exciting Foot Ball Battle of st.
Thomas College and High School
Teams at Athletic Park.

A good exhibition of foot ball was
given yesterday afternoon at Athletic
park, before very enthusiastic crowd,
between elevens representing the Scran-
ton High School and St. Thomas col
lege.
High School won the toss and chose
the southern goal. Purcell kicked off
for st. Thomas and Dawson. catching
| the ball. made ten-yard gain before
| being downed.
Short plunges through the line by
| Quinn and Allen brought the ball to the
| center of the field, when High School
| lost the ball on tumble. st. Thomas,
| quickly lining up, made ten yards by
the guardsback formation, and the
| outlook seemed pretty dark for High
School. when st. Thomas fumbled the
| ball. Levi getting the ball made five
yards before being tackled
Pretty lne-bucking by Stone and ten
yards for off-side play, it looked as if
High School would score. but Murphy
| made fine flying tackle at Allen,
spelling pretty run. and in the next
play High School fumbled. O'Toole got
the ball. but was tackled before he
| could gain a yard.
81 IHoIlaS 10 sooner got the ball
before they lost it again, and then
Qunn's signal being given. they went
through st. Thomas line for twenty
yards. BY Aliens great line plunges
and Lewis tacklng, High School ad-
vanced the ball into ST. Thomas terri
tory
st. Thomas took brace and held the
High School for downs. Dougher then
took the ball for St. Thomas and by
good line -bucliing made ten yards
through High Schools left tackle, and
the first half ended with the ball in st.
Thomas possession.
Allen kicked off for High School in
the second half, but st. Thomas man
fumbled the ball and Levi fell on it.
st. Thomas held High. School, forcing
Allen to kick. Purcell got the ball and
advanced it fifteen yards. Then by hard
line bucking they got within five yards
OF High Schools goal, when the ball
went over.
High School is now held for downs.
and st. Thomas, more determined than
ever, rushed the ball down the field
toward the goal, but High School, sum
moning all their strength, held their op-
ponents and forced them to kick.
Bower caught the ball, but dropped it.
Quicker than a wink Murphy dropped
on it within three yards of High
Schools goal, and when it seemed GER
tain that the next plunge would carry
1t over the goal line, the timekeepers
called time. and the game ended with
neither side scoring. The lineup:
