LETTER TO CHASE & DOAK,
BELFAST, MAINE.


Dear Srs: You know, diamonds don't-go
by size. So with paint.
We make paint, one gallon OF which goes
as far as two of another and lasts twice as
long that's four to one.
You know it is true in diamonds; they
don't go by the gallon, do they?
If you're going to paint your house, you
go first to your painter and say:"l am going
to paint; do you want the job? and
what'll it cost?"
If he happens to know, he'll say: "De-
pends on the paint. l can do it for some
where about 500 or $500, whichever you
like; 800 will make good job; $500 poor
One."
And you, if you happen to have your
wits, II say: "I'll take the good one, When'll
you do it,"
Painters ought, all; to know about paint !;
and jewelers. ought to be able to get good
lob. We do what we can to help BOTH
One gallon Devoe is better than two of
average paint, goes as far-that is, your
house will take about 20 gallons DevOe and
30 of paint-and DevOe will wear a
long time; the life of average paint is very
uncertain, it may be year, it may be tive.
WHY is it that painters don't know about
paint? Do jewelers. know about diamonds
They know more than they, tell sometimes.
There are painters and painters; SO there
are jewellers; so there is paint, and the
least-gallons paint is Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. W. pEvOE y Co., New YORK
P,S, Mason & Hall sell our paint.

At the time of the failure of the pub
fishing house in which he was largely
interested The Journal remarked
that ''there was a marked vain in the
fortunes of Mark Twain" We regret
to say that, judging from a review OF
his autobiography, of which the first
instalment has appeared in the North
American Review, there is a marked
vain in the character of his literary
output. In an Introductory to the
Autobiography" he makes an on
slaught on Howelis chat isn't funny
little Bit" and he attacks John L. Kay
mond, who will be readily recalled by
theatre goers as the impersonator OF
"Col. Sellers" and who in private life
was big-hearted, happygo-lucky chap,
in a manner characterized by bitter
animosity and utterly devoid of wit.
Raymond's recklessness in money mat
tiers may be inferred from the remark
he made when informed that a friend
had fallen heir to $4,000. "Why," said
he, chat is 100000 year for six
months"

Some of the readers of The journal

Some of the readers of The Journal
may recollect that few years ago in
combating free ship arguments we
came in collision with one Capt. John
Goldman, who posed as patriot while
advocating the cause of foreign ship
builders. Capt. Goldman has gone aloft,
but the recent mention of his name by
mother advocate of free ships reminds
the editor of The American Shipbuilder
of an incident that occurred at meet
ing of the Senate Committee on Com
merce, some years ago, before which
appeared John Taylor Cause, John
Roach and many others then active i'll
shipbuilding. Captain Goldman set
forth his views in extenso, and wound
up by saying: Gentlemen. | have
been charged with being in the pay of
the British vessel owners: | want TO
say to your honorable body that have
never in my life received one penny in
British gold, and | swear by Heaven
this is true" and sat down. Osbon,
then the editor of the Nautical Gazette,
and Secretary of the National Board of
Steam Navigation, arose, and address
ing the chairman said: "Mr Chair
man. | have listened to the remarks of
Captain Goldman with profound inter
est, and what the captain has said is
true. for never in the history of Great
Britain has her minis ever coined a
penny of gold metal, but he cannot
deny having been paid for the services
he has and is rendering to British ship
building interests, for if he does | shall
be obliged to give amounts and dates of
drafts payable to his order, by ship
building firms on the Clyde, for l have
the memorandum here to show" Cod
man left the room and did not appear
again before that committee.

The demand for resubmission origin
ated mainly with the Democratic party.
whose more or less openly declared pur
pose is to substitute license law for
prohibition. This naturally aroused the
antagonism of the prohibitionists who
are prohibitionists in fact, and of men
in other parties who believe in prohlbl-
ton and are opposed to license. There
are Others who take the unasSallable
ground that if the people desire to vote
again on this question they should have
an opportunity of doing so. 1t will IN
any event be two years before the peo-
pie can pass on this matter and mean
while we assume that even should the
Sturgis law be repealed by the next
legislature the prohibitory laws will be
enforced. Some of the Democratic
sheriffs-elect have already declared
their intention Of enforcing prohibi
ton, their object. of course, being to
make the law as obnoxious as possible
and thus strengthen the demand for its
repeal. The returns of the recent cleo
ton show very plainly that the cities
are for license and the country towns
for prohibition; and if vote was taken
today there can be little doubt but that
the State would stand by the pfohibi-
tory laws. That was practically the
issue upon which votes were cast at
our State election for Cobb or Davis,
although other issues were involved
but to what extent cannot be definitely
determined. In view of ali the circum-
stances straight vote of yes or no
should be desired by all parties. and
TINS definitely settle, for a time at
least, a much vexed question.

KILLS CATARRHAL GERMS.
Hyomei's Healing Air Reaches Every Part
O. Nose, Throat and Lungs.

Hyome is the only scientific and thorough
way to cure catarrh. stomach dosing does
not reach the catarrhal germs in the air
passages and cannot possibly drive them
IRON the system. BY breathing air medi-
Gated with Hyomei the germs in the nose,
throat and lungs are killed and all traces of
catarrhal poison are etfectually driven out.
Some people may think that Hyomei is
simply for catarrh of the head and throat,
but it is equally effective in catarrh of the
stomach, liver or kidneys. The catarrhal
germs are in the mucous membrane and
Hyomei not only kills the germs in the air
passages, but enters the blood with the
oxygen, thus killing the germs in the blood
and freeing the whole system from catarrh.
Hyomei is sold by R. H. Moody under all
absolute guarantee to refund the money
unless it cures. A complete outfit costs but
$1.OO, extra bottles SOC.
A guarantee like this is stronger proof OF
merit than any claim that can be made in
an advertisement. r. H. Moody. would not
gave his personal guarantee in this manner
unless he had perfect confidence i'll the
value of Hyomei.

MAPLE GROVE.

The annual campmeeting at Maple Grove.
for the first time conducted by Maple Grove
Campmeeting Association, closed Septem-
Der 9th. The attendance was much larger
than previous years and the meetings very
interesting.
The new water system by which the
ground is supplied with an abundance OF
pure spring water proved to be a success.
The last Sabbath in spite of the fact that
the large number of people in attendance.
as well as cottage owners. were using water
not only for themselves but FOR horses. the
standpipe continued to overflow throughout
the day.
The annual meeting of the Association
was held on 'he ground September Sth: and
the following gentlemen were elected drec-
tors: Rev. Abernethy Cox of Edgecomb.
Maine; Rev Rufus Bartlett of Hermon.

gore of Belfast. Maine.
Five different denominations are repre-
sented on the Board of Directors
c. G. Moody was elected President; Mark
Ward. Treasurer, and NJ. W. Lord. CLERK. of
the Association.
The Association among its rules and regu-
lations governing the ground. passed a reSo-
luton that all cottages on Maple Grove
Campgro,nd must be finished and kept we'll
he permitted. and all cottages whose owners
fail to paint or put in perfect repair within
90 days after notification by the Association
will he put in first class condition by the AS
ISOLATION and the cost thereof assessed upon
the cottage.
This rule is working a wonderful transfor-
nation already. Five cottages have been
painted nnsight1v wooden verandaS are be.
ing removed, and concrete ones taking their
place.
On the first Monday in October there is to
be general gathering of cottage owners,
and week or more will see scene of activ-
itv on the ground where general repairing,
painting etc. will be in progress.
Six new cottages are to be erected and
probably MANY more.
Messrs. f. W. and F. X. Thompson of
Searsport have contracted to build stable
I75 feet long, to be ready for next season.
Plans are already being laid to procure
some able speakers from New York and
Boston for next years meetings. Noted
singers and eloquent revivalists will be en-
gagged, and it is probable that the meetings
will be continued over three Sabbaths.
Parties desiring to avail themselves of the
offer of free lots on which to erect cottages
will find the treasurer on the ground during
the week commencing with the first Monday
in October.
Those desiring further information should
address any one of the officials before men,

small majority, and Congressman Lit

that the legislature will reflect Senator
Frye and repeal the oturgis law, and
