A GLOBE TRoTTER.
Now in Augusta With $4,000 Mile
Journey Planned Out,

Jean A. Lampman of Boston, arrived
in the city, Thursday, and will remain
here during the balance Of the month.
perfecting plans for most remarkable
pedestrian tour which will take lin
into every state of the Union. This
will necessitate journey of over 22,-
600 miles, and Mr.. Lampman expects to
be on the road about three and one
half years.
In his travels he will push Wheel
barrow, in which he will carry his
spare clothing, tenting outfit, food, etc,
all of which will be contained in a
small barrel. The wheelbarrow is
novelty, being made of gas pipe, with
bicycle wheel. Extending upward
from the head of the barrel is a piece
of pipe, to which is attached what
looks like small triangular sail, but
which is in reality a dog tent such
as the regulars of the U. S. army USE
A peculiar feature of the wheelbar-
row is that it is capable of being taken
apart, so that when he goes into camp
for the night, the mast becomes the
ridge pole of the tent, and the legs of
the barrow unscrew and become the
tent poles. The whole outfit weighs
about 90 poun DIS. While on his trip
Mr.. Lampman will be clad in sailor
suit and will travel under the name of
| Sailor JEAN"
In his travel4 over the country, 1t is
his purpose to visit the capitol city of
every state, and to procure a letter
from the governor of each state as he
reaches the capitol. To help defray
the expenses of the trip he will have
for sale fine half tones of himself, also
| a lot of souvenir postal cards.
Mr.. Lampman will begin his pilgrim
age Wednesday, April LIST, starting
from the Journal office. In mapping
out the route he will travel, he has ar
ranged it so that he will be in the
South during the winter months, and
will work North during the summer.
At the conclusion of the trip he ex-
poets to write a book entitled "The
Adventures of Sailor JEAN" giving an
account of his adventures, and such
publication ought to be an interesting
one. After leaving Augusta his route
will be as follows:
Montpelier, VT; Concord, N. H;
Albany, N. Y; Harrisburg, Pa; Co

YOUR MONEY RETURNED.
IF Hyomei Does not Cure You OF
catarrh, Say Percy w. Means and
) Bowditch E. Webster.

In advertising that they will refund
the money to any one purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that 1t mas
done them no good in the treatment Of
catarrh, Percy w. Means and Bow
ditch & Webster mean exactly what
this guarantee says.
OF course the percentage of cures by
Hyomei is nearly one hundred or else
they could not afford to make this UNI
usual offer. But if the treatment
should not be adapted to your case
there will be no questions or quibblings
when you go to get your money.
That the beginning Of catarrh Is due
to the presence of germs in the air
passages is now admitted by every
physician. It stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hy-
omei treatment kills the catarrh
germs even in the minutest air cells,
soothes and heals the irritated mucous
membrane and makes complete and
lasting cures in cases that have re-
sisted the usual methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. An outfit costs but
$1OO and consists of an inhaler which
will last lifetime and sufficient Hy-
omei for more than a months treat
mont Additional bottles of HyOmei
can be procured for soc.
Percy W.. Means and Bowditch &
Webster give their personal guarantee
with every Hyomei outfit they sell to
refund the money if it does not cure.
There is no risk whatever to the pur-
chaser of Hyomei.

MERCHANDISE MAIL.
A New System of Handling to be Re
commended.

Certain methods of handling mer-
chandse mail matter are to be recon-
mended by Postoffice Inspector Evans
shortly, as it has been shown that the
present system is lax, through the
theft for which drivers were arrested
recently in Boston.
The transfer system in cities is to
be one of the first branches taken UP.
Speed is the main thing, safety secon-
dairy Until the mail is unloaded into
wagons for transfer the driver, who in
many cases is a minor, is in complete
charge. He locks it up and retains
possession of the key, unlocking the
wagon when he reaches his destination.
The driver is not an employe of the
United States, and the government
does not even have a key to the wagon.
Small towns offer great opportunities
for interference with the mail. In
many places the bags are thrown off
a train and left on the station plat
form until the gateman or station agent
picks them up and carries them 10 the
baggage room. Oftentimes some one
with no authority takes the bags and
carries them to the postoffice. This
arrangement cannot be improved upon
to any great extent without great ex-
penSe.
At many stations there are transfer
clerks in the employ of the government
who receive and despatch the mails.
At these places the loading and I'M
loading is under the supervision of Of
ficials.
The only points in New England
where transfer clerks are employed are
Boston, Bangor, Hartford, Springfield,
Worcester, New Haven New London,
Bridgeport, Saybrooke Junction, Prov
idence, Rutland, White River Junction,
Manchester, Portland, Concord and
Burlington.

Saturdays Police Court.

There was a short session of the
municipal court, Saturday morning,
necessitated by the administration of
justice to two victims of strong drink.
They were Robert Fisher of Augusta,
and Patrick Quinn of Togus. Mr..
Fisher explained the condition in which
he was found on the preceding day. by
saying that he got pint of whiskey
at the Gardiner agency, and although
he drank some en- route for home,
he arrived in town with enough in the
bottle to satisfy several attacks of
that husky feeling in the throat. If
he had not taken any more he might
have been saved the humiliation of
coming before the court, but he did not
think of that, and absorbed a large
sized drink soon after reaching the city,
after which he started up the railroad
track. He had net gone far when he
had an attack of locomotor ataxia,
superinduced by over-indulgence in al
coholic stimulants. and was fast laps
ing into q cOmatose state when he was
rescued from his dangerous position by
Deputy Marshal Hanks. The court
could see no excuse for Mr.. Fisher, and
he was fined SO, which he paid.
Mr.. Quinn was veteran from Togus,
and claimed that the cause of his
downfall was some liquor which boy
had given him. This may or may not
have been so, but in consideration of
the fact that he had fought and bled
for his country, he was given the bene-
fit of the doubt, and allowed to go
t,a nf Of
dollars.

Paint is saved; labor is saved; and

more out of it than we shall.

Mills of Stonington, asked permits
sion to introduce a bill relating to the
election of school superintendent, but
Thomas of Topsham, objected. Final
ly the latter withdrew his opposition,
the bill was presented, and then tabled.
The motion which prompted Mr. Mills
to present this bill is because law has
just been signed by the Governor which
takes away from towns the right to
elect their own supervisors and places
that power in the hands of the super
intending school committee. The bill
presented by Mr.. Mills provides that
towns having less than 5000 population
shall be excluded from the provisions
of the law.
He says that towns should not be
prohibited from selecting their school
superintendents, that committees, as
a rule. will not be so careful in MAX
ing their selections as will the whole
people in town meeting. Where one
instance can be cited of town meetings
making improper selections scores of
instances may be presented of commit
tees selecting Incompetent persons, in
order that they may pay some political
debt. Mr.. Mills does not believe in the
idea of placing too much power in the
| hands of any committee, because he
thinks the principle is wrong.
Both houses will meet at 4.30 o'clock,
this afternoon. Before the sessions be-
gin the judiciary committee will grant
a hearing on the bill to amend the
charter of the Pittston Village Corpo-
ration, and it is expected that quite an
animated hearing will take place.
Tomorrow the committee on railroads
will have two or three hearings. The
committee hopes to close up all its
business at that time.
Thus far the committee on appropria-
tons and financial affairs has disposed
of great many matters, but it still
has many important measures under
consideration. A meeting will be had
tomorrow afternoon, at which time it
is expected the docket will be pretty
well cleaned up.

1t Is encouraging news from Cana
da which a member OF the national
reciprocity league brings home with
him. Canadian men OF affairs. he
says. believe that reciprocity with the
United States would not be inconsist-
ent with a British preferential tariff
system such as Mr.. Chamberlain pro.
poses. The Springfield Republican
thinks II would be well for reciprocity
between Canada and the United
States to get established before the
Chamberlain scheme attains much
Roadway. Yet no move has been made
toward calling together the joint high
commission. Senator Fairbanks waits
for the Canadian premier and the Ca
madam premier waits for Fairbanks.
Mr.. Chamberlain. meanwhile, Is q v
Ing that nothing but a new imperial
preferential tariff system will save
the British empire: and It Is certain
that Mr.. Chamberlain's ultimate plans
contemplate the closer union OF Ca
NADIA and Great Britain rather than
Of Canada and the United States.

a Law applies to dueling In that state,
