HON. c. E. LITTLEFIELD IN SOMER
VILE.

At a recent meeting of the Somerville,
Mass, Sons of Maine Club Congressman
Littlefeld was the only speaker, and he
prefaced his address upon 'Maine and Her
People" with a series of entertaining stories,
which kept his hearers in laughter for
about twenty minutes. When he began to
talk about Maine he said that the people of
the State have the reputation of being
clannish; he was glad the charge is true
and glad that the people have many good
reasons for being clannish
He told OF the natural beauties of the
State, and with pride referred at length to
the high quality of intelligence, civilization,
and true Christian character Of the men
and women of Maine. Although the State
mas produced notable statesmen and men
and women of letters, he said that the State
owes much of its success to the integrity
and good business character of her business
men, many of whom had emigrated to
Massachusetts, and other States, and
materially assisted in the building up of
prosperous municipalities. Speaking about
the prohibitory law Of Maine, which he
heartily endorsed, the congressman said the
law is due to the intelligence of the people,
who believe in lessening as much as
possible the evils of intemperance. "Maine
stands for moral elevation and moral educa-
ton; her good reputation is of far more
value than houses and land, gold and
silver" said the speaker. The congress
man was loudly applauded when he finished
his address with one of Whittier's poems
eulogistic of the State of Maine.

CATARRHAL TROUBLES PREVALENT
Spring Months Cause Sickness. Breathe
Hyomei, and be Cured Of Catarrh.

Spring Months Cause Sickness. Breathe
Hyomef, and be Cured of Catarrh.
Catarrhal troubles are more common at
this season than at any other time Of
the year. The sudden changes that come
during the spring months are productive of
many cases of catarrh that without proper
treatment will become chronic.
The pleasanteSt, most convenient, ana
only scientific method for the treatment
and cure of catarrh, is Hyomei. Simply put
twenty drops in the little pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, and then
breathe it for three minutes four times a
day.
No dangerous drugs or alcoholic concoc-
tions are taken into the system when HyO-
mel is used. Breathed through the inhaler,
the balsamic fragrance of HyOmei penetrates
to the most remote cells of the nose and
throat, and thus kills the catarrhal germs,
heals the irritated mucous membrane, and
gives complete and permanent cure.
Thousands of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made by
this remedy. j. S. Nugent, treasurer OF
the New York Life Insurance Company,
writes: "Hyomei has completely cured my
daughter Of catarrh, from which she has
been sufferer for years."
The complete HyOmei outfit costs but one
dollar, and as the inhaler will last lie
time and there is sufficient Hyomei for sew
eral weeks treatment, it is the most eco
nomical catarrhal remedy known. Extra
bottles can be procured for fifty cents. ASH
R, H, Moody to show you the strong guar
antee under which he sells HyOmei.

The disagreement of the jury in the
Nan Patterson case will probably end
all attempts to convict her of the muir
der of Young, and she will be allowed
to 60 free to seek further notoriety or
oblivion as she may choose. The Brook
ivn Daily Eagle holds that the evidence
IN the case while circumstantial was
conclusive as to the guilt of the ac-
cused; but ''there was a very strong
sentiment against haying her executed
and that sentiment found expression in

tinue capital punishment for murder.
The Eagle says:
The object of punishment is to deter
men from crime. When hanging was
the punishment for theft in England,
and hangings were as common as
deaths from consumption are now, the
severity did not check stealing. Pun.
ishments have grown steadily lighter
and the proportion of crime has de-
creased, not necessarily because of the
remission of punishment, but with the
progress of civilization. It has become
practically as difficult to enforce CAPT
tai punishment in this city as it is tC

for the same reason, that the people nc
longer believe in either law. Each is
enforced in few aggravated instances
but the fear of either law does not de

It is grave question whether murders
would be less frequent If the penalty
were changed to Imprisonment for life
Under such a law conviction in sucf
cases as that just closed would be ia
more probable than they are now ant

found stronger deterrent from crlm'

1t is somewhat of a surprise to find
that the playful rhymes of Mrs. Sears
port to Mrs. Stockton" and Mrs.
Stockton to Mrs. Searsport" should
have given offence; but one of our
readers writes to say that such things
only cause hard feelings between the
people of the two towns" Had we
supposed these rhymes were written in
other than a sportive spirit and as an
incentive to friendly rivalry they would
not have found place in The Journal.
The two towns, already closelyatfiliated
are soon to be linked together by rails
of steel and are destined to share
equally in the prosperity that the new
railroad must bring. There would GER
tainly seem to be no occasion for jeal-
ousy or hard feelings between them,
and we doubt if any exists.
