THOs. E. SHEA AT KEfTH's.

One has chance to get tabloid YER
sion of ''The Bells" at Keith's this week
and at the same time to see the first local
appearance in vaudeville of Thomas E.
Shea, a player especially well known
hereabouts and with an unquestioned
personal following as the result of his
many engagements here in melodrama
and later in standard plays. In all of
these offerings he has displayed COM
mendable earnestness and laudable am
bition, so that his change to vaudeville
proved of interest to many in the large
audience last evening. Of the plays which
he had given here by all odds the most
popular were cdr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"
and ''The Bells' and it was natural, in
deed, that he should choose the latter, on
account of the ease with which it could
be transformed for vaudeville purposes,
since the chief episode in the play is the
one where Matthias, the innkeeper, dreams
and fancies himself under mesmeric in
fluence and compelled to confess the MUIR
der of the Polish Jew. Mr.. Shea's YER
sion is no imitation of the Henry Irving
play in any sense, and he carries out his
impersonation on his own lines, consist
emily and effectively. His mannerisms
are we'll suited to his ideas of Matthias,
and he works to a CHASTITY finale that
holds the attention throughout. He has
an excellent company with him, and the
minor details were especially we'll cared
for. Boston Transcript.

Not a Government Guaranty.

WASHINGTON, November17. According
to sweeping decision by the commits
sioner of patents any label bearing the
inscription guaranteed under the pure
food and drug acts, June 30, 1906, "
where such inscription is intended to i'm
ply that the government is responsible
for the purity of the goods, will be refus-
ed registration.
1t is held by the officials that the gov
erment simply takes the assertion of the
manufacturer that the goods are pure
and then investigates his business.

ly paid, as our capital increased" said
Mr.. Rockefeller.
HOW THEY GOT ON IN NEW YORK.
''Let me ask you about the house
which you established here" said Mr..
Milburn.
Eyes, that was an advantage 1t gave
us an opportunity to learn of the foreign
market and the export trade. We We're
constantly in need of increasing capital
as our business developed, and in New
York we could secure larger sums of
money at lower rates than in the west.
We were always able to obtain large
sums of money, and, am thankful to
say, we always had good credit.
eve always kept our covenants and
paid our bills. Our ability to secure
large loans was of great advantage to
US. Thus we extended our facilities with
New York bankers with whom we kept
our deposits, and we got our money at
the cheapest rates in the cheapest money
market in the world. -
Through the acquaintance formed by
William Rockefeller with wealthy men
in New York connections were estab-
lished that enabled the company to
borrow large sums for the further extern
sion of the business, the witness stated.
Some of those who aided him in obtaining
funds were Amasa Stone and Benjamin
Brewster. New York, he said, was the
largest exporting point at that time, and
is today.
Mr.. Rockefeller said the company
found it saving to lighter its own oil
from the cars to the warehouses in this
city. He added:
1--WE made these improvement as fast
as we could provide capital for them.
Other companies had to pay the ex-
pense of lighterage, which, with the com
missions for selling oil and the ware
house charge, made their charges heavier
than ours.
Hard times came upon the oil trade
early in the 7O's, witness said. The bus
mess was much overdone, because REIN
cries had been erected so rapidly that
the profit was much lessened.
In buying up other companies MIR.
Rockefeller said no coercion was used.

Why Not Employ Method Of Treatment
That Is Not an Experiment!
1nAammatorv rheumatism, acute rheumatism
and rheumatic fever are oHelen' eo Aoi
the same thing. : nj,
It comes on with hardly any warning. The
main is severe and there is tendency 0! the
disease to attack the heart, when 1t may nave
fatal results. :-a...
rheumatism knows that the usual treatment is
hiphlv unsatisfactory. External applications
Of hot cloths and liniments and internal doses
of salcylates to relieve the pain are not enough
for thew do not drive the poison from the
blood and the sufferer is liable TO renewed at
tacks whenever exposed to draugnts' cola OF
dampness.
To cure rheumatism so that it will stay cured
the rheumatic poison in the blood must be
driven out and the blood made rlch and red
When the blood is pure there can pc no rheu-
matism. DR.. Williams Pink Pills pulid up tne
blood and cure rheumatism in the only logical
Mr.. Howard C. Decker, of No. AZ Butler
street. Paterson, N. j., owes his cure OF this
painful disease to DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
He tells of his experience as follows:
81 suffered with infammatory rheumatism
for about two years and think 1t was heredl-
tary in my case, as my father was anlicseo WIN
it for wears. l was confined to my bed with 1T
for nearly three months following the first at
tack. The rheumatism was in my knees and
legs and finally worked down to the feet and
ankles. For eighteen months I was unable to
walk on nv left heel. My knees, ankles and
feet were swollen and l could not put on my
shoes. / suffered with terrible pains, even the
weight of the bed clothes on my hmDs caused
me intense agony For short time the rheu-
matism was in nv arms and shoulders. L was
heIpless and unable to work. I was extremely
nervous and had control over my muscles.
l lost in weight from ISL pounds to l55 pounds.
Different doctors pronounced my case IN
durable and their medicines did not have much
effect l was finally led to try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills through reading newspaper. My
general condition gradually improved under
this treatment and after giving the pills TAR
trial was entirely cured. l can now walk as
we'll as ever and have no pain at all: have
regained nv weight and never felt better IN
my life. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are certainly
a wonderful blood medicine"
If you are suffering from rheumatism IN any
form and find that the treatment you are TAX
ing does not relieve you, or if you are actually
getting worse while taking other treatment,
then do not delay but give DR.. Williams Pink
Pills thorough trial. The remedy that cures
others will cure you.

SHAKE IN A BOTTLE.
Advice of Noted Authority Also Gives
a Simple Prescription.

Simple Prescription.
Now is the time when the doctor gets busy,
and the patent medicine manufacturers reap
the harvest, unless great care is taken todress
warmly and keep the feet dry. This is the
advice of an old eminent authority who says
that Rheumatism and Kidney trouble weather
is here, and tells what to do in case Of an
attack.
Get from any good prescription pharmacy
one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in
bottle and take teaspoonful after meals and
at bedtime.
Just try this ample homemade mixture at
the first sign of Rheumatism or if your back
aches or you feel that the kidneys are not
acting just right. This is said to be splendid
kidney regulator, and almost certain remedy
for all forms of Rheumatism, which is caused
by uric acid in the blood, which the kidneys
fail to filter out. Any one can easily prepare
this at home and at small cost.
Druggists in this town and vlclnity' when
shown the prescription, stated that tney can
either supply these ingredients, or, II our
readers perfer, they will compound 'ne mix
ture for them.

Literary News and Notes.

Clifford Pinchott, the government ex
pert upon the subject of forestry and
who in recent years has done much to-
ward arousing public interest in the sub
ject, has written Holman Day very
supplementary letter in regard to his
novel ''king Spruce.
A memorial volume composed of Sc
lected orations by the late Orville Dewey
Baker, together with the eulogies and
notices called fourth by his death, is now
in preparation by the Baker heirs. The
book, which is being prepared by Manley
H. Pike and printed by Burleigh & Flynt,
Augusta, will probably be ready in De-
cember for private circulation only.
The publication of letters of Mrs.
James G. Blaine is expected from the
press the latter part of this month
Written mostly to members of Mrs:
Blaine's family, and with no idea OF
their publication, the correspondence is
said to be spontaneous and entertaining,
and to afford attractive glimpses of the
home life of an American political fami-
lv, as well as views of social and political
happenings in Washington during the ad-
ministrations of Presidents Grant, Hayes,
Garfield, Arthur and Harrison.
Kirk Munroe remains in class by HIM
self as writer for the boys, and those
who remember Campmates, Rick Dale,
Snowshoes and Sledges, and various other
tales bv him will raise cheerful shout
when they know that another is to ap-
pear through the Harpers. The story
has for hero young mechanical en-
gineer who goes off to newfoundland
and Labrador for an iron and copper com
pany. encounters shipwreck, drifts alone
on a raft, and is rescued, only to be ma
rooned by an iceberg, lost in blizzard,
and finally captured by the Indians of the
North, and all this time the plot involv-
ing the mines thickens and deepens. The
title is Under the Great Bear.
The New York Sun has this to say of a
Bangor boy and his latest book. Mr..
Smith is on the editorial staff OF the New
York World "Ruel Perley Smith is a
master at arranging things for boy to
have a series of thrilling adventures.
He also has clever knack of presenting
them in the kind of vivid narrative that
bows enjoy, as he has shown in his story
of Jack Harvey's Adventures q. G.
Page & Company, Boston.) Jacks
parents are shipped off to Europe at the
beginning of the book, where they can't
interfere with the proceedings. Jack is
shanghaied on board Capt. Haley's bug
eye for cruise in Chesapeake bay, oys-
ter dredging. Capt. Haley was beau
tifully cruel pirate officer. The bug-eye
was most uncomfortable ship, and oys-
ter dredging is not pleasant occupation.
But the Opportunities for dangerous ad-
venture and exciting experience are mar
vellous, and life on pirate craft is never
dull. ;"

ON THE MASSACHUSETTS COAST.
NIGHT.
O the gloom of the night with the wind and
the rain
Howling in beating in, from the desolate main,
And anon with cry DER the tempest prevail
ing
Some banshee of ocean wild wreck bewailing!
From the Shoals of Nantucket the lights were
half hid,
The rush and the roar of the breakers amid;
Ships turned from their moorings; the boats
were adrift;
Nor merciful star looking down through a
rift;
But blackness and fear with the wind and the
Howling in, beating in, from the desolate main.
MORNING.
Now the sun tips with fire every waves foam
ing crest;
The gulls are blown seward; the winds in the
west;
And the wide-rolling deep and the kelp-laden
See fog and cloud fleeing to gray Labrador.
The ships, all a-thrill with the JOY of the
Sail portward as light as the foam on the seas;
Not film in the sky-not mote. in the air
The blue seems the bright wall of heaven laid
And the gloom of the rain and the direful wind
scorning,
We are glad in the azure and splendor of
morning.
