New Locomotives for B. & A.

The Bangor & ArooStook railroad has
placed an order with the American Loco
motive Works for Is new locomotives, six of
which are to be delivered at an early date
and the remaining nine probably late in the
summer. Three OF the six locomotives in
the first installment are of the type known
as ten-wheelers, type now commonly in
use on the B. & A, and other Maine rail-
roads. The remaining three locomotives
are of the consolidation type, which is some
what new to this part of the country,
though used by the Canadian Pacific rail
road on it's trains running across the State.
The ten-wheelerS, are familiar to most
everybody who travels on the Maine Cen
trail Or the B. & A., with the six big drive
wheels and four wheels under the pony
trucks. The consolidation locomotives have
eight drivers and only one pair of pony
wheels. They are very powerful locomO-
tiveS, just such as are needed in moving the
big freight trains on the B. & A, and no
doubt railroad men in the State will be in
terested in seeing them work.

A NATION OF CRlPPlES.
RHEUMATISM BEYOND
CONTROL.
The Only Hope to Rheumatic Sufferers is
Uric-O Treatment.

If rheumatism continues to spread as it has in
the past few years, it would seem as though we
would before long become nation of crippes.
4 he terrible destructlveness of this disease is
apparent on every side OF us. Almost nine out of
ten of the crppleS one meets had their affection
brought on by Rheumatism. How many thou
sands more there are that are hOpelessly bed
ridden and whom we never see. Rheumatism
from the very nature OF the disease, can never
cure itself if neglected, is bound to grow worse
rather than better. If you ever have any twinges
of rheumatism go to X. II. Moody's drug store,
light here in Belfast and get a bottle of Uric-O,
the wonderful new Rheumatic Specific. 1t will
cure you and 1t is the only treatment in the world
that will cure you permanently and thoroughly
Uric . cures by its direct action on the muscles,
blood and kidneys. 1t seeks out the poisonous
Uric and Rheumatic Acid and drives it from the
system and it is only treatment Of such nature
that will ever cure Rheumatism. iniments and
plasters only serve to drive it from one spot to
another. They never cure rheumatism, because
it is primarily blood disease. and until the blood
is cleared from the poison, cure cannot take
place.
There never was case of rheumatism that
Uric-o could not cure and you should not put off
taking it because it is in the end by far the cheap
est method. You can test Uric o free of charge
If you wish. Just cut out this advertisement and
send it to the Smith Drug Co., Syracuse, N. Y.
and state that you have never used Uric-O and
would like to try it. They will send you free
sample which you can test and try free of charge

THE SUNSHINE SOCIETY.
1t Originated in a New York Newspape
Office.

1t Originated in New York Newspaper
Office.
The announcement that Nine. Melba has
decided to give all proceeds from sales of
her autograph while in this country to
1.-The Blind Babies Home," a branch of
the International Sunshine Society, caused
my heart TO throb with gladness. In the
Office of the New York Recorder about
1894, Miss Cynthia Westover, since married
to John Alden, was the head of the woman's
department.. One afternoon, she got ten or
twelve of us together and announced that
she wanted to start a Sunshine Society,""
When we got any money it was to be spent
on flowers, picture books, candy and cake
for poor little children i'll in the hospitals
and public ''homes." Thus was "The Lit
tie Sunshine Society" started, and of the
original board OF directors, Mrs. Alden re-
John P. Foley, newspaper veteran, who
died in Brooklyn about two years ago.
From such beginning this society has
spread over the civilized world Its MEM
berShip now numbers more than 10000.
Its success belongs absolutely and unquall-
fedly to the sweet, noble woman whose
idea it was and who has given twelve years
of her life to the work.
The lesson to be learned from Mrs. Gym
tha Westover Alden's achievement is that
one doesn't need the backing of a Rockefel-
Ter or a Carnegie to render acceptable sell
vice in the cause of humanity. Every heart
throb of joy, Every merry peal of childish
laughter, that this phllanthropist has caused
by her plain, practical methods OF cheering
the untortunates will be set down in heaven.
1t is d score that ought to make any mortal
supremacy happy.-JuliuS Chambers i'll the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

INCREASED COST OF LIVING.

The mechanic who wishes to build him
house today finds that it costs him 33
per cent more than it cost his neighbor
a few years ago. The landlord, who
builds to rent finds it costs him 80 to
so per cent more than he paid for an
other building erected six or seven
year ago, and he must, therefore, charge
higher rent. If there can be found a
way of increasing the wages of the car
penters, masons, bricklayers, painters,
plasterers and plumbers, and of the
men VINO work in the lumber camps,
the saw and planning mills, ETC., ETC.,
without increasing the cost of building
constructions; if a method can be de-
vised by which the wages of men en-
ployed in slaughter houses and butcher
shops, in coal mines, i'll mills manufac-
turing flour and other food products,
may be made larger without increasing
the cost of the articles they produce,
let us by all means unite in boosting
up wages to the highest possible point.
But the discovery of such improve
ments is probably still far in the fu-
ture.
1t follows from all this that even
those workingmen who have thus sue
ceeded in forcing up theirwages have not
themselves reaped the benefit they per-
haps thought would result. If they
forced up the cost of living to the rich
as also to their poorer fellows and to
those who do not belong to their guilds
or unions, they have also forced it up
to themselves. They, too, are com
PEELED to pay more for their coal. and
their beef, and their flour, and the
other necessaries of life, for their rent,
their clothing, their luxuries and their
pleasures, and the end of it is, newt
ably and as demonstrated by actual ex-
peience, that they find that while they
have more dollars to buy with they can
buy no more with their dollars than be-
fore. The men of 80 or 50 years ago re-
ceived wages which seem insignificant
compared with those paid today, and
yet they lived as comfortably, educated
their children as we'll and were just as
as good citizens and Christians as the
more highly paid workingmen of today.
The reason was that the cost of produc-
ton governed the cost of living then
as it does now, and the smaller wage
bought at the lower price as much as
the higher wage buys today at the in
creased price, The fact is thus stated
in two ways that its full significance
may be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Deal.

The American Square-Riggers.

More than 10 percent of all the square-rig-
ged sailing vessels flying the American flag
were either lost at sea, stranded or convert
ed into coal barges during the last six
months. Statistics show that American
sQuare-riggers, once famous the world over,
are rapidly being swept out of existence.
AS compared with 2295 such vessels of
American register in 1870 there were only
276 on July ! last. Since that time % Of
them have been put out Of commission, of
which II were full-rigged ships, II barks
ships one was converted into a floating
hotel for children's charity in New York,
one was abandoned at sea, two were strand
ed and six were converted into coal barges.
Two of the barks were never heard from
after leaving port, five were converted into
coal barges, one had its rig changed to a
schooner, seven stranded, two were burned
and one foundered at sea- The brig was
abandoned at sea-

DO YOU HAVE RHEUMATISM EVERY
YEAR?

Ii You Do. You Are Doctoring the symp-
toms and the Disease Remains in Your
Blood-How to Cure 1t.
There are almost as many ways of treat
ing rheumatism as there are doctors
Most OF these treatments are directed at
the symptoms and are considered success
full if they relieve the pain and stiffness.
But the blood has not been purified and the
rheumatism Is sure to return, especially af-
ter season Of exposure to cold and damp
ness. The patient goes through this expert
ence year after year and begins to think
that everything is being done that can be
done. This is mistake of multitude of
sufferers.
The only way to treat rheumatism is
through the blood. This is the method Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills-they Lot only
cleanse the blood Of the impurities which
cause the disease but build up and restore
the broken down system.
Mr.. John Riley OF Cazenovia. N. Y, suffer-
ed from rheumatism and was unable to get
relief. He then gave DR.. Williams Pinks
Pills trial and was permanently cured.
'1n my work az a blacksmith" he says, 81
am exposed great deal to changes of tenn
perature. One minute my work is near the
forge and the next it is in a cold part of the
building. Some time ago l noticed that my
health was breaking down. The symptoms
were general physical weakness, loss of ap-
petite and nervousness. l couldn't begin to
do hard days work.
sit was evident that my blood was weak
and impure. l became no better as time
went on and finally this condition of my
blood with the constant exposure, brought
on rheumatism. 1t was of the inflamma-
tory kind and was very painful in the joints,
especially of the feet and wrists. Many
days | could hardly walk and suffered in
tense pain. l took to my bed several times
for d uay or SO and once for six weeks.
81 continued in this condition until a fell
low black smith advised me to try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. AS l had gained no help
from other treatments, decided to give
them d trial. Within a reasonable time L
noticed that | was getting better and in
few weeks | was cured. That the cure is
permanent is shown by my not having lost
a day at my trade since then. | can truth
fully say that DR.. Williams Pink Pills put
me on my feet again"
Dir. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable
in diseases of the blood and nerves. They
have cured an2ma, after-etfects of the grip
and levers, general debility and sick head
aches, dizziness, nervous proStration and
have accomplished wonderful results even
i'll partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
A valuable booklet, Diseases OF the
Blood, containing fuller information about
rheumatism and other diseases of the blood
will be sent free upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on re-
ceipt of price, so cents per box, six boxes
for $3.50. by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

A Story of Seth Bullock.

Seth Bullock, former Rough Rider, cow
puncher and all-round wasterner, who is
now forest ranger in the Department of
Agriculture owing to the friendship of the
President, was in town this week and was
down at the Agricultural Department on
official business. He knows most of the
correspondents in Washington, and all of
them know him. He was swapping some
choice western yarns for some more finish
ed ones of the etfete east, when one of the
fellows happened to turn the conversation
on the weather, and asked whether it was
cold out in Seths part of the country.
"Betcherlfe; worst l ever saw Why don't
you know it was so cold before left that
all the whiskey in the hotel froze and they
were using chunks of it for paper weights. -
The Seth Bullock cigars made by Frank
M. Bailey of this city, and which have had
large sales, were named for this ''all-around
Westerner."

The March Atlantic fttingly OBJ
serves the centenary of Longfellow by
giving athe leading position to an elo-
quent poem upon the well-beloved poet
by Thomas Bailey Aldrich. The quail.
ty of the piece is worthy of the author,
than which there can be no higher
praise. Coming as it does from one of
the finest American poets, who was an
Intimate friend of Longfellow's, it is
likely to be as significant a centennial
expression as we shall see. The num-
Der also contains study of Longfel-
