Done in Belfast.

Any Belfast reader who has had backache and
found relief by rubbing the back with lhimtntS
and lotions, understands that the relief obtained
was but a makeshift, for the ache returns.
There's Il way to do it so the ache will not come

Benjamin Robinson, blacksmith, 6 Waldo ave

Kidney Pills at Wilson'S drug store, used them
for miserable backache which caught me across
the ons every time l stopped or brought any
strain on the muscles of the back. The treat
ment stopped it and l made that fact public
through our newspapers together with my
perience and opinion of Doans Kidney Pills.
Five years afterwards don't think | can confer
greater kindness my fellow citizens than to
tell them that the cure has been permanent and
that if they suffer at all from backache any of

ISLESBORO.
The people in the southern part of Isles
boro are agitating the question OF dividing
the town, making the divisional line in the
vicinity of Mon hail. The new town. to be
called Dark Harbor, will include the terri
tory south of that point. With the united
voice OF the residents and the financial help
of the summer people it is thought the plan
can be carried through in petitioning the
legislature. There is a good deal of taxable
property in this section and the residents
feel that they should have one of their num-
Der on the board of Seectmen. They also
think it would be greatly to the towns adj
vantage ii the men employed on the public
hnJ l,nr
much falthfunesS as when engaged in other
kinds of labor. They also think it would
be well to care for public property, such as
storing the road machines when not in use
These are among some of the questions
talked Of as atfording reasons why they
would favor a town division.... Sept 10th,
there was special town meeting called to
consider the question of having the sewer
system at Dark lIarbor enter the West bay
instead of Gilkey's Harbor. 1t was voted
to put in a sewer and to raise the sum of
$500 for the same by issuing per cent
bonds. The summer people have very
generously donated a large number of
books as d nucleus for a public library.
Miss Grace r. Gilkey is secretary The
library is kept at present at Inc mouse
of Mrs. Frank Hatch, who will act as libra
rian. In the near future a suitable build
ing, with an attractive reading room, will be
erected. The Free Baptist Quarterly meet
ing began Sept 10, and closed the following
Sunday evening. ...R Rev. J. W. Hatch of
Fairfield, evangelist, has been assisting Rev.
Geo. E. Tufts in series of meetings, closing
on Sunday evening, Sept. Dist. In the
morning the Rev. James S. Dennis, D..
D., Of New York, preached. Rev. Dr.
Leighton Parks, rector of Emmanuel Church
Boston, was present and also good many of
the summer people from Boston, New York
and Philadelphia. There was no service at
the Episcopal church.

JULES CANNON TO
LEAVE HIS POST
THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR WILL
PROBABLY BE TRANSFERRED
TO BERLIN-cAME TO UNITED
STATES IN 1893.

Washington, July 2--The officials Of
the French embassy here are not prepar-
ed to make any statement IN regard to
the intimation conveyed in press des-
patch from Paris today that M. Jules
Cambon. the French ambassador at
Washington, may be transferred to the
Berlin embassy as result of con-
templated shift In the French diplomatic
service. The ambassador himself has left
Washington and indeed was due to ar
rive in Paris today. Nevertheless 1t is
understood that such transfer for NJ.
Cambon is well within the range Of pos
sibility. The present incumbent Of the
Berlin post is the Marquis of Noailles,
who was minister to Washington from
1871 to 1873 and who formerly served
at Constantinople.
The marquis is nearly 80 years of age
and for some time 1t has been expected
that on account of his advanced age he
would relinquish his post at the German
capital, making transfers and promo
lions necessary to I'LL the eight embas-
sizes of the French service.
M. Cambon was accredited to WASH
ington in 1898 and has had an unusually
fine record of service at Washington. His
departure would be source of much
regret among his official and social
friends here.
