HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign OF
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be.
fore the attack the child becomes hoarse.
This is soon followed by peculiar
rough cough. Give Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy freely as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
rough cough appears, and it will dispel
all symptoms of Group. In this way all
danger and anxiety may be avoided.
This remedy is used by many thousands
of mothers and has never been known to
fail. 1t is, in fact, the only remedy that
can always be depended upon and that
is pleasant and easy to take. For sale by
Shurtleff & Co., South Paris; Stevens,
Oxford; Noyes Drug Store, Norway.

More faultless quartette singing has
rarely been heard in Bethel. 1t was
restful beyond expression to hear the
difficult intervals taken with such &C
curacy, to observe the perfect mOdula-
tions and to find the pitch-that terrible
bugbear-so absolutely correct. Upon
these secure musical foundations the
selections were delightful, the encores
appropriate and the imperturbable good
nature most evident-however exacting

ence land 1t ,oas an enthusiastic audi

The New Paris High School Building.


The illustration given herewith repre-
sents building in which every resident
of Paris has an interest and should take
pride. 1t is the new high school build
ing, erected by the town of Paris during
the present season, and which will be
occupied when the winter term of Paris
High School opens next Monday.
The building stands on Pine Street in
South Paris village, little more than
quarter of a mile from Market Square.
Seven hundred dollars was paid for the
lot, which has frontage of 800 feet on
Pine Street and depth of 400 feet, con-
tanning about three acres. The house
stands in the northwesterly corner of the
lot, about forty feet from the street line.
The main portion of the house is so Z
Is feet, with gabled projection in front.
which shows in the picture, feet 6
inches in depth. Entrances are in the
portieoes at the two front corners of the
building.
Hall and stairway occupy the front of
the building. Opening from the hall in
the right corner of the lower floor are a
small room for the use of the teachers
and commodious book room, while in

room connecting with the laboratory
The rest of the first floor is divided into
three recitation rooms, each p K 81.
The northerly one of these will be used
as laboratory, and has connected with
it the apparatus room above mentioned.
An interesting minor feature of the |
building is the curved front of the hall
floor in the second story. 1t adds TO the |
building enthusiastically, and it enables a |
teacher, standing in the curve of the rail
ing, TO have under his eye the whole of
the hall space on both floors, the cloak
rooms and quite portion of the main
room.
On the second floor. above the en-
frances, connected with the hall by
are cloak rooms. From each

room, and another door opens

Mrs. Walter ii. SWEET and daughter
Eva came home a few days since from
East Orange, Y. j., where they have been
for several weeks. The daughter has
been in hospital under treatment for
appendicitis.
In spite of the frequent snow fiurries,
the boys and girls, and some of larger
growth, have got in some very fair skat-
ing along the edges of the river during
the past week. And it has been good
safe ice, too, thanks to the steady cold
weather.
One of the pleasantest affairs OF the
season was the whist party given by
Miss Ruth Tucker and Miss Carrie Hall
at the court house Saturday evening.
The tables were set in the corridor,
which was handsomely decorated with a
profusion of plants and other things.
Ten tables were filed at whist, and
small overflow engaged in other games.
Refreshments of sandwiches and coffee,
ice cream, cake and fancy crackers, were
served. The party broke up at half
past eleven, and the guests went home
pronouncing it a most delightful evening.

Myron w. Maxim left last Tuesday on
his second trip to the Wild River region
for the season, and on Wednesday found
the game he was seeking. About
O'Clock in the morning he shot good
doe in the Evans Brook valley, and be,
fore noon shot smaller one at no great
distance from the place where the first
one was brought down. When he sho'
the second one, big buck, started BY
the shot, jumped out of the bushes anc

shot at distance of three or four rod
as he ever had. But he withstood tn
temptation, and came home with nj

I largely untried in this section, and its
working will be watched with interest.
1t is guaranteed by the makers to main
tain an even temperature throughout the
room, without draught but with plenty
of fresh air.
In the main assembly room 112 seats
have been set, with space remaining
to set another row of 16 when required.
The seats are Haney's Standard Auto
matte, and the manufacturers, through
Bradford & Conant of Lewiston, guaran-
tee to maintain the seats in good c0ndi-
ton for fifteen years, and to replace
within that time any broken or worn. out
parts-anything not damaged by fire or
calamity. In each recitation room
thirty recitation seats with writing shelf
have been placed.
Electric bells in all parts of the build
ing, and large bell on the outside of
the building, are connected with a bat
terry of push buttons behind the princi-
pals desk.
The building of this house was author
lied by the town at the annual meeting
last March, when an appropriation of
5000 was made. At special meeting
called later before work was begun
$1,000 was added to the original appro-
priation. The building committee,
appointed at the annual meeting, con-
sisted of the members of the super
intending school committee, DR.. F. II.
Packard, DR.. Fl. Woodbury. and George
NJ. Atwood, with the addition of Hon.
Geo. A. Wilson and n. d. Bolster. This
organized by choosing Judge
Wilson chairman, and Alton G. Wheeler,
of schools, secretary.
The plans were made by w. r. Miller,
the Lewiston architect, who made the
plans for Pythian Block in South Paris
and has planned quite number of pub |
lie buildings about the state. The
result of his work speaks for itself, and
shows much to commend and little to |
criticise, either from the standpoint of
utility or beauty.
The contract to erect the building was
let TO Charles II. Adams of Norway for
81, 1890. Mr.. Adams sub let the build
ing of the foundation to A. w. Walker

Miss Livermore displayed great versa
tility by practically providing the whole
performance which included the singing
of songs Topical, sentimental and comic.
Pleasing little childish melodies, negro
songs, dialect selections, imitation of Dan

operas followed in immediate succession.
Besides this, Miss Livermore gave a

Has Not Lost Her Voice.

Editor Democrat:
For some time there has been report
in circulation that Miss Geraldine FaTar,
who is just entering on the third season
of her engagement with the Royal Opera
Company of Berlin, Germany, had lost
her voice.
Many times have been asked If this
report was true. I did not think it was
and SO stated. The following extract
from a letter received few days ago
sets the matter right: "Geraldine's voice
was never better than now, and she Is
singing in new role this month. The
Boston papers some weeks ago gave out
that she had lost her voice, but 1t is alb
solutely untrue. Her teacher says she
is all right. l have the truth from her
father and her teacher"
