Graybeard is specially recommended In
these cases. 1t tones up the system

Miss Mary X. Cain.

The many friends and acquaintance
of Miss Mary r. Cain were deeply
shocked and grieved to learn of her sud
den death, brief mention of which was
made in the REPORTER of last week.
Miss Cain was born In Skowhegan,
where the greater part of her life was
spent. Although not enjoying good
health for several years, she was not
considered seriously i'll until few
weeks previous to her death. KIND rela-
tives did all In their power TO bring their
loved one back to health but medical
skill proved In vain and she breathed
her last early Friday evening, the - h
inst.
The deceased, during the latter part of
her best energies to the care and comfort
of her aged mother. She was known
for her tenderness OF heart, unselfish
deposition, and those who knew her best
loved her most, She WAS not connected
with any religious organization but
served her Master according to the die
tates of her own conscience and passed
away fully trusting in Him.
She leaves besides her aged mother to
mourn her death, one brother Ia YER
mont, three sisters, in Cambridge, Mass,
Bath, Me. and Benton, Me-, and other
relatives. The sympathy of the CON-
munity is extended TO them in this sad
hour OF their bereavement.

"Prohibition In the Constitution. "

On Sunday evening last, May 221d,
Hon. T. B. Barrett delivered his lee
ture Education and Prohibition In the
Constitution" 10 a small but appreciative
audience, Hon. f. y. Merrill introduce
Ing the speaker IN few appropriate
sentences.
Mr.. Barrett opened his address by
calling attention to the fact that the
constitution contained two noteworth
provisions, not generally found IN the
Fundamental law OF other states, and
that these two sections bore direct re-
lation to each other. The first Of them
was with regard to education, being
portion Of the law when the constitution
WAS adopted, and the second was with
regard to the manufacture and sale II IN
toxlcating liquors and was framed and
adopted in 1884.
To the provision providing, with IN
usual care for the maintenance of common
schools, Mr. Barrett traced much Of the
prosperity that has attended the develop
ment of the state and he also argued
that large measure of benefit had come
and was TO come through the ammend-
ment restricting the manufacture and
sale of alcoholic beverages.
The lecturer called the attention of
the audience to the fact that education
on temperance and other similar ques-
tions of morals, to be lasting and eff-c-
tive, should be given at an early age.
He cited, in support Of this. assertion,
the fact that, among the followers of
Budda, Mohsmmed and Confucius, mum.
boring over 6 100000 people. intemper-
ance was far more uncommon than with
US, AID that this was so because In all
these religions great importance was
attached TO early moral training.
Mr. Barrett has been well known as
an advocate OF temperance principles for
many years and by speech and example
has done much for the cause. He is to
speak In Hartlsnd early In June and In
other places during the summer.

Saved 8 Cents and Lost 80

A big mill-owner, Spartansburg, 5, G,
wanted 5000 gallons of paint, and
bought by price; paid cents less than
Devoe; got "lead and-znc" paint; but
the lead was sulphate of lead, not car
Donate. Sulphate costs about half; and
covers about half
That paint was adulterated about six
times as much as the cents paid for.
BE saved" 8 cents; and 1t cost him 80
oh no; it cost him more than that; we
forgot the labor. Can't work it out ex
actly; don't know how long it'll wear
Short measure besides; that alone was
twice as much as his saving cents.
1t was thin, too; some loss there; don't
know how much.
There was too much dryer in it. The
maker made something on that; he didn't.
Taking it altogether, he didn't make
much by that 8 cents.
Go by the name: and the name is De-
voc lead and zinc.

The strike on the great lakes ordered
by the masters aud pilots associations
and the decision of the lake carriers as
sociatIon to suspend all lake traffic until
settlement ls reached, is having a
serious effect upon the shipping on the
great water highway between the West
and the East and will be far reaching In
its results, more so than the great coal
miners strike of two years ago, it is
feared, unless the embargo is broken
before long. The strike of freight hand
lers of the Long Island Sound lines Of
steamers 10 New York and other ports
of these lines, with docks piled high
with freight and sheds filled to their
utmost, seriously disturbs business on
the sound and adds gravity to the bust
ness situation.

On Saturday, May IS, the lakewood

duced at the Vaudeville theatre In Lon
don, England, where 1t ran continuously
for So performances. After the run Of
the company there it was brought TO

running for $50 performances and max
ing the biggest success Of any comedy
that was ever produced az the Madison
square theatre. Il Offering this play TO
the theatre-2oers Of Lakewood the man
agement has done 80 with only one OBJ
iect in view, laughter. Thst Is the only

predict that laughter will reign supreme

There appears to be good reason for
the nervousness Russians feel In regard
to the attitude Of certain Of the inhabi-
tants of China. The Chinese bandits are
said to be well organized under their
chief Touisan who is in practical control
of the district known as the granery of
Mauchuria. He is great organic 3r,
and has built seven immense granares,
which Is strongly garrisoned. Touisan
ordered the inhabitants to bring In their
surplus grain, forbidding them to sell it
to the Russians aud ordering them to
reserve the grain for the Chinese army
which are coming from the northwest.
The Chinese off Gals are obsequious to
TouIsan, who collects the taxes of the
district. Swarms of disguised soldiers
are In his vicinity. The Russians are
having the greatest difficulty in pacify
ing the inhabitants, who apparently are
anxious to rise against them. The jap
anese thoroughly understand the situa-
ton and expect to profit by it later.

Certain papers have much to say rel
alive to political rings of late. This is a
perennial topic. Politics without rings
in the sense of combinations cannot ex-
ist. Combinations inside of parties are
formed to bring about certain results or
advance the interests of certain men.
When they get too powerful or too OBJ
jectionable in methods, other combina-
tions or rings are apt to be formed to
smash them. A ring is the thing to
break another ring with. So long as
each mans vote counts one, and but one,
without combination with others, any
one man is liable to vote into the air
Therefore, to accomplish anything in
voting, men must get together and vote
one way. This is where party comes in
and where combinations inside of party
come in. So long as combinations are
made upon correct principles or based
upon equitable propositions, they are
not only indispensable but desirable.

Monday next is the day set apart for
the observance, by veterans of the war
that ended thirty-nine years ago, of the
patriotic service of placing fl overs upon
the graves of deceased comrades. The
day has been long observed but the
passing years detract nothing from the
interest manifested in the beautiful
ceremony. 1t is the heartfelt tribute of
the living soldier to the memory of the
dead one, in honor of the cause In which
they both served, and attests their love
of country and veneration for the flag,
the emblem of Union and Liberty. 1t
is not meaningless. 1t has signifi-
canoe born of patriotism and tested
by long years of active service in war
that easily ranks among the most san
culinary of those of modern times. The
living veterans are aware of the sacri-
fees and services of the dead, they ap-
preciate them and they pay this tribute
to their heroic deeds. 1t is well. Pa
triotic men, women and children honor
veterans for this Observance and join

State Convention at Springfield, Illi-

struggle and on Friday adjournment
until the S1st instant was carried The
leaders may be fortunate enough or wise
enough, to evolve some sort of compro-

at this time.
