LETTER TO REV. A. A. SMITH.
Belfast, Maine.

Belfast Maine.
Rev. Sir: We should like to ask your ad-
vice on certain thing done: was it right
or wrong? We shall have to state it, incud-
ing the names.
D. F. Dreicorn is painter in HolyOke,
Mass. John j. Donohue is an architect,
Springfield, nearby.
DOnohue was building, at HOlyOke, the
Holy Family Institute, letting the work by
bids, as usual. Dreicorn got the paint job !;
the paint was to be lead-and-Oil.
But Dreicorn said to himself "lead-and-
oil isn't half so good as Dev0e and it costs
more money, what shall I do?" He painted
Devoe; and, after the work was done. told
Donohue, saying eff that isn't better than
any lead-and-oil job, I'll make it So"
Was DreicOrn right or wrong in painting
lead and-oil job DevOe?
You ask how it turned-Out. This was six
years ago. Now Donohue has another job
there, big addition to the Catholic Hospi-
tai; and he doesn't ask bids for the painting,
but says to Dreicorn: go ahead Dreicorn
and give me as good job as you did on the
institute. That's the best paint job ever
saw"
The question is "Was Dreicorn right in
painting Devoe when he had agreed to paint
lead-and-OilY'
That isn't quite all. Lead. and-oil is ex-.
pected to last three years. IT Dreicorn had

Joined by many of the high class news
papers OF the country. Golfers Weekly
supports the Evening Post crusade with
a strong cartoon backed by editorial
and news matter. The Golfers car
toon, drawn by Z. w. kemble, is en-
titled q Fool and His Money" For
its text it takes the following excerpt
from an editorial in the Evening Post:
The public can expect nothing from
the human vultures who prey upon the
poor and weak through oil, mining or
other schemes of wildcat finance, but it
has a right to expect protection from
its reputable press. That this is refused
is the gravest indictment lying against
American journalism today
The editorial in Golfers is based upon
two recent get-rich-quick advertise
ments in New York newspapers of
standing. Zone of these mining COM
panies, says Golfers satirically, sis so
gifted in copper and gold that it gives
five dollar shares for 50 cents. This is
certainly not mere speculation or
gamble" The advertisement of the

The report of street commissioner j.
F. Wilson is printed in full in other
columns. 1t was not printed with the
other reports in the pamphlet issued by
the city. The appropriation for streets,
walks ard bridges last year was larger
than usual, was practically all expended,
and the public have a right to know
how and where it was expended. Mr..
Wilson's report shows the amounts
paid to each individual or firm, whether
for labor or material. With the excep-
ton of lumber, and that was bought
through a local firm, all the money ex-
pended was paid to our own people and
went into local circulation. This comes
pretty near eating our cake and having
it. Mr.. wilson's method of handling
the appropriation could hardly be i'm
proved upon He drew the lump sum
for the month and deposited it in the
bank, and then paid all bills by check,
requiring each person so paid to sign a
receipt, for which he had printed
form. A record is thus made of every
cent expended, and The Journal is glad
to be able to present that record to the
public.

.CHILDREN's AID SOCIETY. The annual

ports of the treasurer and secretary were

used lead-and-oil, there would have been
another job for him or somebody ELSE three
years ago.
Was he right in losing that job for HIM
self or somebody-else three years ago?
The institute took 200 gallons Devoe and
cost $1,000; the paint has worn six years,
when Donohue says "it's the best paint JOB
he ever saw" If he had used lead-and-oll,
it would have cost about 5000 for the two
paint jobs (six and three years ago. and be
hungry for paint again.
Dreicorn lost 5000 of business and took
the risk of making DOnohue mad and losing
his business, forever: all to save the Holy
Family Institute $500 besides the fuss OF a
paint job.
Was Dreicorn right or wrong as painter !;
and which would you paint your church,
lead-and-oil or DevOe?

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES.
Readily Yield to Soothing. Healing Trea
rnent Of HvOruei

Readily Yield to Soothing. Healing Treat
ment of Hyomei.
Bronchial troubles are purely local. They
cannot be helped by stomach dosing. They
are caused by irritation in the air passages
and can be relieved and cured by medicated
air alone. In this lies the secret of the
great success of Hy-o-mei in the treatment
of bronchial troubles.
The first breath of Hy-o-mei's medicated
air soothes the Inflammation. stops the
cough, and relief soon becomes permanent
and cure results.
Hy-o-mei has made many remarkable
cures in the worst and most chronic forms
of bronchial troubles and is sold by R. H.
Moody with the same guarantee as he gives
when Hy-o-mei is purchased for catarrh,
that is, to refund the money in case the
remedy does not give satisfaction. The
complete outfit costs but $1.OO.

Tie editor of the Brooklyn, n. Y,
Times in a recent address defending
yellow journalism said that in the days
of Tweed the yellow journals were Har-
per's Week ly and the New York Times
Not so. Those newspapers were per-
forming a public service in exposing
the corruption of the Tweed ring, and
not merely seeking to make sensation.
The yellow journal of today is typo
graphical monstrosity, offensive to the
eve. and devoted mainly to manufacture
ing sensations, regardless of fact or of
the effect they may have upon their
readers. One of these yellow Journals
boasts of having brought about the war
with Spain. Such papers are democrat
ling. the meters Of strife and class
prejudices, panderers to the prurlent,
a disgrace to journalism. To class them
with such clean and able journals as
Harper's Weekly and the New York
Times is unwarranted.

FAkIR
HAS A NOVEL
SCHEME
Especial to The sentincI.J


Denver. oct 15.-In the person
of NJ. T. Bessemer, now in the coun-
ty Jail, SheriI Alexander Blsliel has
a bunco man who, 1t is said, has
evolved scheme for fake mines
without parallel in the history OF the
west.
By painting small leads upon any
old piece of quartz rock with sold
paint bought at 15 cents per square
inch, SO as to give the rock the ap-
pearance of having been roasted.
Bessemer has made as fine high
grade ore as any man could create.
The only mistake that he made
has been that he did not attempt
to sell mining property with the
samples. He was content to clear
up the small sum of ten thousand
dollars by selling his samples to the
mine promoters and investors who
did the rest.
Although not so much damage has
been done directly by Bessemer him
self, 1t is believed that he must be
indirectly responsible for the sale of
hundreds OF thousands of dollars
worth of fake mining property.
He has admitted that he has op-
Grated the scheme for several years.
His arrest also gives an insight into
the methods OF many of the promot
ers of the western cities.

MISS BESSIE PRIMROSE
HURT IN AN ACCIDENT
Well Known Young Lady Thrown
from n Street Car In Salt Lake

Miss Bessie Primrose, one of the

day evening, the announcement of
her misfortune reaching her rcla-
tives here last night i'm n special de-

siblc TO get n wire message through.
1t seems that the young lady was
stepping from a street car at n cor
ner where the street was being re-
paired. The car started off too sud
denly and Miss Primrose was thrown
to the ground. She struck on her
head and side. Her face and head
were badly cut and bruised and she
received terrific shock.
Miss Primrose was given medical
attention at once and taken to the
home of an aunt of Mrs. II. w. Prim-
roses of this city, where the young
lady Is boarding.
The letter received last night states
that Miss Primrose Is not in n SER
nicely. but it will probably be two
weeks before she Will be able to
again take up her work.
The young lady's many friends iT
this city will learn with sincere re
gret of her misfortune and will wish
for her speedy recovery. Her es-
cape from a fatal accident was very
