To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
| received paper containing an article
written by Thomas DinsmOre, who was
one of the passengers on the bark

the 3oth day of January, 1S49 | was
also passenger on that vessel, and

Mr.. Dinsmore. The captains son and

of the passengers were middle-aged
men | thought perhaps [ was the only
one living who made that voyage. The
captains son was lost overheard in a
gale of wind off Cape Horn. He
was a bright young man and a pet
of the company. Mr.. Dinsmore did
not state that we stopped at Ealpa-
raise for few days. There was at the
time all American and an English man
of-war there and several vessels with
passengers bound for California We
had on board a Quartette Club, consist
ing of Robert Cram. VIM. Tory, DR..
Shaw and myself, and as we had sung
together for some time we concluded
we would try to get an engagement to
sing one night at the theater-betWeen
the acts. So we went to the manager
and told him that there were a great
many Americans and EngIishmen on
the vessels in the harbor and we thought
he would have full house He said
we could go up'to the theater and he
would hear us sing. We did so, ana
after singing two pieces he asked us
how much we wanted to sing four
songs. | told him fifty dollars, and |
thought that was big price. He said,
you are engaged. They got out pro
grams and sent them out to ali of the
vessels in the harbor. On the night of
our appearance the house was crowded,
and when we stepped on the stage they
gave us a grand reception. We sang
four or five pieces and were then in
vited into the managers private box to
see the play. When it was over we
serenaded the American Consul, who
invited us i'll and treated us royalty.

that victory would be followed by the
unrestricted sale of liquor. TO such the
address of Mayor Dunton brought cold
comfort, for he reminded those who
had freely sworn to enforce the law
meaning all laws-that they had mo
honorable Alternative but to resign or
do their duty" The result of the Sep
TENDER election can hardly fail to be
equally disappointing to those who
hope, and those who fear, that vote
for resubmiSsion will Immediately bring
about free rum. 1t will take more than
that to change the constitution of the
State. The legislature must act first.
Section Is, Article 4, reads: 'The Leg
islature shall by thirds concur
rent vote of both branches have the
power to call constitutional conven-
tons for the purpose of amending this
constitution" Thus two-thirds vote
of the legislature is necessary to call
convention, and when that convention
has acted the amendment it proposes
must be submitted to the people, and
majority vote ensures its adoption. But
unless a special election is called it will
be two years from next September be-
fore the people of Maine can decide at
the polls whether prohibition is to be
endorsed or condemned. Meanwhile
the prohibitory amendment stands and

COULD NOT REST
NIGHT OR DAY
With Irritating Skin Humor-whoIe
Body Affected Scalp ltched All
the Time and Hair Began to Fall
Out-WonderfuI Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTICURA REMEDIES

ssI am never without Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment since l tried
them last summer. About the latter
part of July my whole body began to
itch. I did not take much notice of it
at first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then l began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but l became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all the time. Espe--
cially at night, just as soon as | would
get in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and did, and the first appli-
cation helped me wonderfully. For
about four weeks I would take hot
bath every night and then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and l kept getting better, and by the
time used four boxes of Cuticura was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but l continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. 1t keeps all dan
druff out and scalp is always clean. l
always use Cuticura Ointment on my
face after shaving, and have found
nothing to equal it. I will never be
without it." e. Blankenship,

The Bangor Sunday Republican has
some interesting railroad news. 1t an
nounces that the Bangor Terminal rail-
road project will have to be abandoned.
The plan was to build road rom Ban
gor to make short connection with the
N. NJ. S. r. R. and run through trains
from Bangor to Searsport. 1t would
also provide convenient means for the
transfer of freight, and it was hoped
might lead to the establishment of Ban
COR as billing point. A survey was
made and it was expected to build the
road at once, but it has been learned
Shat the b. & A. officials are opposed to
She building or leasing of the new road,
and that is supposed to end the matter.
Another announcement by the Sunday
Republican of local interest is that
Kidder's Point is to have pavilion,
in charge of an experienced caterer
where clambakes, etc, will be SER
to whom low fares will be offered. Edi-
torially the Sunday Republican notes
the remarkable development of Stock
ton Springs" and says lit seems certain
that some day the commercial pre-emi~
hence of Bangor will be affected" The
remedy it suggests is that Bangor peo-
pile should 60 down there and get to
work and make of Stockton Springs a
second Bangor, for the benefit of their
own business, if nothing more"

Tie attacks upon Congressman
Littlefieid by newspaper masquerade

the Democrats with their campaign
material two years ago, can have but
one effect, that of strengthening Mr..

ably represents at Washington. The
people like man who has the courage
Of his convictions and who is honest as
we'll as earnest. Such a man may oc-
oasionalIy err in judgment, but that is
readily condoned The late Congress-
man Charles A. Boutelle illustrated
this in his Congressional career. He
was impetuous and brave even to rash
mess but he stood four-square for the
right as he saw it, and the people ad-
mired him for it. OF course he made
enemies, and when the time came
around for the Congressional conven-

defeated for denomination, or that
there was so much opposition in the
district that he could not be reelected.
