FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORIA
First Maine Mackerel.

The first fare of fresh mackerel to be
landed at this port from the Maine
coast, arrived this morning on board the
schooner River Gauges, which had over
6, 600 small fish and which were readily
sold to the dealers on Commercial wharf.
The local mackerel market has been
practically bare for many weeks, the few
fish offered for sale having come from
the Boston market.
The River Ganges landed her fare at
an opportune time and it was reported
that the crew received 10 cents a pound
for the entire fare. The fish We're slight
ly larger than thinkers and every one of
them weighed less than a pound each,
but as the demand was good, no trouble
was found in disposing of them. The
entire fare was taken off Long Island,
near Mount Desert Island, where sever
al schools have been seen in the past few
days. A number of schools have been
reported showing in the vicinity of Pema-
quid and Round Pond on the Maine
coast. Portland Express Sept. 1st.

CURED MOTHER
AND DAUGHTER
Bloodlessness and a Rundown
Condition Will Inevitably Bring
Suffering and Sorrow Unless
Promptly Corrected.

The symptoms described in the tol-'
lowing statement are so common today
wherever oyerwork and worry have
resulted in a decline in health that the
means by which cure was effected
deserves the careful attention of every
thoughtful man and woman.
Mrs. B. G. Goodwin, of R. F. D. No.
2, Gardner, Mass. was cured of anamia
after she had been sick for year. She
says:
II was in a terrible condition few
years ago suffering from anamia. I
was overworked and run down bringing
up my baby. lost color and strength
and became so weak that my husband
had to help me around. Very often 1
would get dizzy and seem to see floating
specks before my eyes. l would wake
up through the night and be so numb all
over that it seemed my blood would
never start circulating again. This
numbness would last for an hour. NY
digestion was poor and I could not
breathe well.
"My doctor treated me for anamia
but l finally stopped taking his medi-
cine. l heard of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and felt some better after I had
taken them only short time. But I
gave them long trial and gradually
grew better and got 10 that I didn't
need medicine any more. My health is
good now and I have had no serious
sickness since.
Later I had greater reasons for being
grateful for DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
My little girl began to grow weak and
seemed to have no strength. We took
her to two doctors, who examined her
lungs and heart and told us to take her
from school. We were afraid of con-
sumption as the doctor watched her
lungs so closely. During her sickness
we moved here and not wishing to try
another doctor began giving her Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. She gained right
away in strength and color, was able to
resume her school work and is now in
fine health''
DR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 80 cents per box;
six boxes for 49, 80, by the DR.. Williams

DAYS Squire Phin Dramatized

Holman Days first novel, Squire Phin,
which has been dramat;zed by Eugene
Presbrey as The Circus Man, has been
produced in Chicago by Klaw & Erlanger.
The Chicago Tribune's critic comments
on it at some length, venturing the sug-
gestion, after view of it at McVicker's
Saturday evening, that Palermo, is no
place for tranquil citizen in search of the
peace and slumbrous calm of small town
existence. Indeed, from the minute that
Fighting Hime" Look arrived in Paler-
mo in August with the remnants of his
leviathan circus, until he departed in June
with the smart ex-widow Smell for joy
ride in his red band wagon, the community
was kept in such an uproar that life with
in the Union loop would have been like
quiet pastoral in comparison. While
finding fault with that constructive flaw
of the author, Mr.. Presbrey, which per-
mits nearly all of one act to be monopoliz-
ed by dreary divorce trial, the writer
concludes: "He has lively and virtuous
melodrama, which, while it may not make
him more famous ought at least to make
him more comfortable.

THE SCOURGE OF THE ELM-KILLER.

In spite of the zeal of the muck rakers
at least one malefactor is being let off
rather easy in the public prints, consider
ing the extent of his disastrous evil
doings, and that is the elm-tree beetle.
He is quietly accomplishing vast deal
of mischief, and we don't see any limit
set to his activities, or hear of any as
surance that he will pass on so long as
there are elm leaves left to eat and elm
trees to kill. All through New England
the elm is the most important roadside
shade tree and the tree that more than
any other was planted, generations ago,
to adorn the commons and streets of vii
lagos. No doubt that is one thing that
is the matter. A large proportion of the
elms that were formerly set out in the
older-settled parts of the country have
pretty nearly served their time. Elms
are not very long-lived as trees go. and
when they have lived century or so
they are apt to split up and die. That
may be the trouble with the elms in the
Harvard yard" about the approaching
dissolution of which there was wall the
other day in the Sun. But the elm-tree
beetle has no mind that elms should die a
natural death. He has been at them now
for three or four years, and has done
great damage. Of the young trees he
makes short work. The old ones he COM
pels to put on suits of new leaves out of
season, which is a greater strain on their
vitality than they can long maintain.
Spraying with some unhealthy mixture
saves the trees, but it is serious labor
and expense to spray full-grown elm.
What with the elm-beetle, the gypsy
moth, the brown-tail moth, and the chest
nut tree epidemic, it goes pretty hard with
our shade trees. The arboricultural coro-
ner has said that there is no chance for
the chestnut trees. With them gone, and
elms dying everywhere, the voters will
want to know why we keep a Depart
ment Of Agriculture. -Harper's Weekly.

A CATNIP PARTY.
1t Took Place in Harlem and the Guests

from the New York Herald.T
All the unemployed cats in Harlem
met at Fifth avenue and 116th street
last night 1t was there that G. Her
man Gottlief of No. 1870 East Ninety
ninth street, who had left the subway at
Lenox avenue and 10th street few
minutes before decided that a man car
rying two baskets of freshly picked cat
nip has small chance of escaping from
an army Of determined cats 1t was at
that corner that he turned on those cats
that had followed him from the subway
station and tried to brighten them into
returning to their homes
Nothing doing.
Not on " did the cats that had follow
ed him decline to leave but other cats
arrived in large numbers. Shame faced
felines whose permanent addresses are
alleys and back yards came stealthily
forth. All Of them, rich and poor, arts
tocrats from the sofa cushions near the
front windows and thin plebeians from
into the two baskets of catnip.
G. Herman Gottlieb was agitated He
had gone to Washington Heights to pick
the catnip that he might sell it. He
viewed with alarm the prospect of being
held up by band of cats and frightened
into giving the stuff away When he
saw Police Sergeant Higgins coming he
almost cried with JOY
Somebody should have told him to put
not his faith in sergeants. The first thing
Higgins did after wading through several
strata of cats was to arrest Gottlieb.
''Y on re causing a crowd to collect. )"
said Higgins, sternly, "and that's against
the law"
"Why don't you arrest the catnip?"
asked the best Gottlieb. THAT is col
lecting the crowd; not l.
Come on" said Higgins, ''before the
cats from the Bronx and Jersey get
here
He took Gottlieb to the East 1O4th
street station, and the cats went along.
They followed the men into the station
house and made themselves at home
while Sergeant Higgins reported the ar
rest to Lieutenant Lasky.
eve can't hold this man" said the
Lieutenant. ''The law says man must
not cause a crowd of people to collect.
The law doesn't say anything about
cats "
''The law doesn't say anything about
people," retorted the Sergeant hotly,
sit says "a crowd A crowd Of cats is
certainly a crowd.
Diversity was given to the debate by
the attempt on the part of Pete, the
station house cat, to thrash the intruders
one at time. He was succeeding pretty
we'll when the police drove the survivors
out on the steps.
Gottlieb, liberated and still cinging to
the baskets of catnip, was placed in
patrol wagon and driven rapidly toward
his home. The cats tried to keep up
with the patrol wagon, but, although
they proved to be fair sprinters, they
could not qualify as distance runners.
Gottlieb left the patrol wagon and, hug
ging the precious catnip to his bosom,
ran for his catless home. At his heels
was frayed old black cat, the only sur
vivor of the catnip Marathon. Gottieb
threw the black cat handful of catnip.
Don't tell your relatives or your
friends" he warned, as he slammed the
door.
