CAPT PARKS LAST VOYAGE.
His Momentous Trip in the Bark Harvard

With a fervent s'Thank Cod" Capt. F..
NJ. Park of Searsport, of the American bark
Harvard, heard the anchor-chalns OF the
old ship rattle through the hawse-pIpe IN
Boston harbor Thursday, marking the END
of the Harvard's last voyage as clipper
sailing vessel.
The reason for the shippers thankful
ness was that on the last trip she was to
take before bereft of her wings and turned
into a barge the Harvard came all the way
from Buenos Ayres with a crew OF ~ men.
Capt. Park isn't superstitiouS, but he con
feSsed to uneaSiness every day OF the oO Lhe
ship spent between Buenos Ayres and Bos-
ton. , -
With this voyage of the Harvard one
more of the old American square-riggers-a
fleet rapidly vanishing-wlll pass mo the
realm of history. Although "a years IN
service, she is still in good condition, III TO
go for several more years. But, being OF
wood, she cannot get the charters OF the
steel barks on account of the high insurance
rates, and must go the way that many
stanch ships have gone before
The Harvard came near ending her career
in a more glorious, if also more disastrous
way, She came into the bay in thick
snow storm under her lower topsalls, and
Cant. Park admitted he did not have his
bearings any too well. He saw four
masted schooner at anchor, and, as IL was
very thick, he decided to let go his anchors
by the other vessel.
When the weather cleared he found that
the stern of the Harvard swung perllousiy
near the Graves. Had the anchors not held,
the last chapter in the life OF the Harvard
would have been short one. The ship was
towed into harbor by the tugs Juno and
Confidence.
With the Harvard's passing as clipper
ship Capt. Parks life on the sea will come
to an end When he gives up the wheel OF
the old sailing ship he will retire to spend
the rest of his life in his old home In Sears
port He has followed the sea since he was
l6 and is now g.

Catarrh is the most prevalent disease
known to humanity, Probably ninety per
cent. of the people in this country suffer at
one time or another with this common dis
ease.
1t is germ disease and hence can be
cured only by some method that will reach
and destroy the germs
This is best found in Hyomei, which may
be called the direct method of treating
catarrh, as its medication, taken in with the
air you breathe, goes directly to every air
cell in the nose, throat and lungs kills alk
catarrhal germs heals the irritated mucous
membrane and vitalizes the tissues SO as to
render catarrh no longer possible.
The unique way in which Hyomei is sold
should dispel all doubt as to its curative
properties, for A. A. HOwes> & Co. give
their absolute guarantee to refund the price
to any catarrh sufferer that HyOmei fails to-
benefit. You do not risk cent in testing,
its healing powers. What offer could be.
more fair to you than this, where leading,
druggists take all the risk of Hyomei giving
satisf action, and leave you to be the Judge
