Shippers of coasting vessels say that
plans are on foot for the building of
a trolley line from South Newcastle
to Boothbay. A charter has already
been secured and a board of directors
chosen. While there is not much
coastwise trade 10 Boothbay from
Portland, there is enough, the coast
ing captains say, for the trolley line
to interfere with it. 1t is planned to
have the new read carry both passen-
gers and freight, and by connecting
with the steam road at South New
castle Portland goods going by rail
could easily be conveyed to their des-
tination. 1t is this, the captains say,
that will hurt their business and may
ultimately cut off the trade by boats

PILES BRING DESPAIR.
Take Courage!. Internal Treatment
Will Cure.

Piles make life unhappy and ruin the
best disposition. Most sufferers have
been bitterly disappointed by many fall
ures to find a cure. A medicine in tab
let form, taken internally, that avoids
the unpleasant features of ointments,
suppositories and operations, and cures
thoroughly by removing the inside cause,
is surely worth trying, especially as
Bowditch, Webster & Co. guarantee it.
