SATURDAY. MAY 18th. 1905.
A CASE OF TWO THRoArs.

The caustic criticism Of the Board
OF Health OF which DR.. W r. Op-
penheimer is President has evoked
ringing reply by that individual In
answer 20 the structures OF the Inves-
tigating Committee. He was mer-
CHESS in his condemnation OF the
methods employed against him and
il is evident that he believes that
Coroner VIM. r. Taylor and Dr.. f.
c. Levy, the City Bacteriologist are
largely responsible for his attempted
undoing.
But the most amusing part OF the
discussion is that in which a colored
woman figures. II seems that she
had the diphtheria and was under
the care OF city physician. DR.. T. L.
Stratton. This was all right as far
as il goes and as Or. Levy was en-
ployed by the city for the purpose,
DR.. Stratton mopped the woman's
throat and took the mop with the
matter thereon. and sent it 10 Dr.
Levy for analysis. DIT. Levy ana
lyzed IL and reported that he found
diphtheria baciln
The throat was mopped again at
ter the woman was apparently well
and sent TO DR.. Levy and he made
the same report. Or. Stratton sent
another mop with matter on it for
examination and Dr. Levy analysed
II and reported that he found diph-
iberia bacini and that the woman
was worse. This part of the affair
may be fully appreciated when it is
understood that the last moppings
came out of DR.. STATIONS own
throat The joke was on DR.. Levy.
President Oppenheimer took ad-
vantage of this ludicrous blunder on
the part of DR.. Levy and in mis- an
swer 10 his critics used the follow
ing ironical language:
For example, q cOlored woman
had diphtheria, and was treated by
DR.. Stratton, one of the city pnysi-
clans. After ali visible traces OF
the disease had vanished, two exam
nations by the city bacteriologist
revealed the presence of germs. The
woman was restless under confine.
n1ent; In fact, only remaining in
doors when she expected the doctor
and the people who had employed
her protested that she was kept in
quarantine after her health was re
stored. I decided. therefore, to tesf
the efficacy OF the department.
accordingly instructed DR.. Strattor
to mop out his own throat and sent
the mop to the city bacteriologist
The next day there came a caro-
saying the patient was worse! Thii
is only 10 bring out the point thai
doctors convey disease as well a,
other people, and consistency would
demand a meteorological examina
ton of each doctors throat every
time he came in contact with a case
Of diphtheria.

STILL COMPLAINING

We do not know MT. J. o. Nixon

know that he likes 20 write. He is
well posted on current events anu

though it is often erroneous. He

beg TO say that 7 mailed you an
article a few days ago, and as I
knew il was out of tune with your
paper and also Of toe most OF your
readers. ! am not at all surprised
that you did not publish IT,
An idea has suggested itself to
me, that YOU were reminded Of that
article on Tuesday when YOU saw
that twelve Republican Senators vo-
ted in favor Of Jim Crow car laws
for the Negro, thus defeating Sena-
tor Foraker's amendment 90 the rate
bill. Even Senator Tilman. about
whom so much has been said inti-
mated in one stage Of the debate
that he would support the Foraker
amendment
So, as / have said. one party is no
better than the other / suppose
Senator Foraker had his eve on the
Negro vote of Ohio, and Senators Ba-
con and Bailey would have voted
with him had there been any chance
for them TO obtain the Negro vote.
II is indeed one of the most alb
surd conceptions that has ever been
created in the mind OF man, that the
mere clubbing of a man "Republi-
can" changes his character. To nv
mind nothing is more illogical and
foolish. l confess though, that some
years ago / had no better sense. In
addition TO that for one TO conceive
that a man IS better because ne
lives North OF the Mason and Dixon
line is perfectly monstrous. DC
you know that many bad men and
women live North OF that line? II
better how could that be.

Hence you went. and the race IL

A scientific writer upon tomach

pictured ferocious little imp dancing

organ to neglect all of its duties, with

This writer certainly bad suffered with
indigestion, for there is no more dis
agreeable, nerve-raeking and sick all

A great many people who have been
treated for years for diseases OF the
heart, liver or kidneys, when they
used Mona stomach tablets found
that not only did Mona cure the
stomach disorder, but it made them
well all over and the other troubles
were also cured.
If you suffer with nervousness,
sleeplessness. indigestion, sick or ner-
vous headache, pains in the back or

G.. A. Parcher and take one of the lit
tie tablets before each meal. 1t will

BANGOR FAIR.
Eastern Main State Show Will be
bigger Than Ever This Year.

Eastern Main State Show Will be
Bigger Than Ever This Year.
The people OF the eastern part of the
State are again looking forward to the
Eastern Maine State fair. Bangor has
seen twenty-five fairs, and the fact that
the coming one is the twenty-third annual
exhibition will have no effect on the fact
that the fair this year is to be the greatest
fair yet held. Mr.. Beal ia still at the head
OF the management as president, but the
business part has passed into new and
competent hands. Albert s. Field is the
new manager, and having been connected
with the fair for many years, he knows
every detail connected with the running
of Bangor's greatest crowd bringer.
The mere mention of the Eastern Maine
State fair, the popularity and superiority
OF which now extends all over New Eng
land and New Brunswick, is sufficient to
impress and enthuse the tens Of thou
sands Of people who have been its patrons
annually, and thousands more who will
this year be counted among its patrons Of
the future. The progress and growth of
the fair has been great, and the benefit it
brings to Bangor and vicinity has been
demonstrated by past fairs and the fact
that two years ago, when the fair was not
held, Bangor business houses were af-
fected and put up cries which clearly
demonstrated that the fair is a benefit to
the business enterprises OF the city.
he. Ma,, tai
has brought new and added attractions,
the best that money could buy. No
expense has been withheld and the pro-
gramme OF this years fair promises a
greater variety, and better and newer
attractions than ever before offered.
From an educational standpoint the fair
is always a benefit, and people of all
trades and OF all classes will find diver
sion in the many novelties and attractions
new and old.
Several weeks before fair it is possible
to tell what kind of a success it Is to be.
Word comes from the management that
indications point to the biggest success in
the fair line Bangor has seen for years.
The entries in all departments are larger
than ever before and the application for
ground space has been more active than
for several years, and that means that the
midway, always an interesting part Of the
fair, is to be large.
The entries OF horses for the races do not
close until the middle of next month, but
it can be assured that the racing will
be up to the usual standard and that the
entries will be somewhat more numerous
| than common. The art and needlework
| exhibit is to be SO much larger than usual
that additional facilities will have to be
| made for handling it.
The stage attractions this year will
embrace some of the greatest vaudeville
| features to be seen in the country. There
| will be aerialists and equilibrists,
| contortionists, acrobats, iugglers, trapeze
and horizontal bar performers OF national
note and many amusing and startling
1 features.

Bar Harbor Horse show

That the seventh annual horse show OF
the Bar Harbor fair association will far
eclipse all successes OF the past is GER
tain.
The horse show has now become recog-
nized affair by society, and the city people
who come to Bar Harbor for the season
now bring their most expensive horses
and rigs. There will be over 300
horses in the show, and these are the
finest known, many of them valued at
thousands OF dollars. The equipment Of
some of these fancy turnouts will be a
revelation to those who have not hitherto
attended this exhibition.
A speciality has been made OF the racing
this year. Forty entries for the running
and hurdle races have been obtained,
which ensures exciting and interesting
races. A glance at the people at the show
will be well worth the journey, for many
OF the most famous people of the country
will be in attendance.
The dates are August 2l, % and %.
Special rates on all transportation lines.
