"A ffOclamattOn by the G0veihod.
In recognition of a custom established by oui
forefathers, and the regular and helpful ooser-
vance Of the same through many generatlonf,
and in conformity with our statutes, with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council,
| do hereby appoint and set aside THURSDAY

giving and praise to Almighty God in recognl-
tion Of His power, goodness and mercy.
Maine has been favored by Nature during
the seasons Of 1914, resulting in more than
average crops, and with an unusally favorable
season for harvesting them. While We have
suffered some set back in manufactures and
trade, the prospects for the future. aided by
the most terrible war in history. now raging IN
Europe, seem encouraging.
wish to urge upon our people the contrast
OF our peace and prosperity with the distress
and suffering in Europe. and ask that they con-
tribute literally for the relief of the unforuu-
nate. but unblamable victims of the war
The Red Cross Society stands ready to re-
ceive and transmit promptly all contributions
for their assistance. Remember that Charity
is the greatest of all virtues.
Let US all join in home and church IN praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty God for these
blessings of peace. prosperity and happiness.

found badly beaten on the morning of
Feb. q near the corner of Garland and

and whose accusations resulted in the
dismissal from the department of Patrol

on charges of neglect of duty at police
headquarters before a departmental trial
board.
The charges against Fitzgerald were
entered by Capt. John Driscoll of the
East Dedham street station after sew
eral mysterious tips had been received
in the department and which said that
a certain police officer was making
point of loafing while on duty and nam

in an easy chair very frequently.
An investigation was made by SER

period. 1t is said in police circles that
over half a dozen different instances

PUT SULPHUR ON
AN ITCHING SKIN
AND END ECZEMA

Any irritation or breaking out on the
face, arms. legs or body when accom-
panied by itching. or when the skin
Is dry and feverish, can be readily
overcome by applying a little bold
sulphur cream, says a noted derma-
tologist.
He states that bold sulphur instant
ly allays the angry itching and irrita-
ton and soothes and heals the Ecze-
ma right up leaving the skin clear and
smooth. Bold-sulphur has occupied a
secure position for many years in the
treatment of cutaneous disorders be-
cause of it's parasite-destroying prop
erty. Nothing has ever been found to
take it's place in treating the irritable
and inf1ammatory skin affections.
While not always establishing a per-
mancnt cure it never fails to subdue
the itching irritation and drive the
Eczema away and 1t is often years
later before any eruption again ap-
pears on the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at any
pharmacy an ounce of bold sulphur
cream which is applied to the affected
parts in the same manner as an ordi-
nary cold cream-Adv.

Another Maine
Square=Rigger
Now a Coal Barge

With coal dust about her decks and
rigging the once proud square rig
ger" B. D. Metcalf, built in Damaris-
Gotta nearly 60 years ago is now at
anchor in Portland Harbor, but her
masts have been cut down to an ugly
length and her top sides have been
lowered and she is merely shadow OF
the craft which made voyages to ev-
cry part of the world.
There is a decidedly romantic story
connected with this old bark now
rugged as a schooner barge and laden
with 1900 tons of coal and Capt. G. f.
Lager, her commander says that he
has been told that in her youthful
days the Metcalf was in the slave
trade. The Metcalf is now named the
Wabash and while her present skip
per does not claim that he can vouch
for the reports that the old craft was
once engaged in the slave trade he
was told by an old sea-faring man
at one time that the present coal
barge was in Australia over 40 years
ago and at that time she was carry
ing slaves. Captain Lager is not in
the possession of papers of any sort
to bear out this story and merely re-
lated the incident to the Express-Ad-
vertiser reporter in speaking of the
old craft today.
However, it is certain that the Wa
bash is one of the most famous Of the
old square ringers which mas been
forced to bow to the movement of
business and become dingy coal
barge and be towed from port to port
minus her white sails and spars by
an ocean going towboat.
while she is IS years of age" said
Capt. Lager, Il would rather take my
chances in her than any of the new
barges of today p she is as sound as
a nut and as Tight as jug. When
this ship was built they put the stuff
right into EN- and I'll bet she'll be
afioat when some of the newcomers
are dropping apart. This old packet
is copper fastened throughout and 1t
is impossible to find soft piece in
any part of her hull
The Wabash was launched as the
B. D. Metcalf and for many years she
made voyages to every part of the
world. Later the Metcalf was owned
by Norwegian interests and sailed un-
der the flag of Norway, but she is
again under the American flag, as the
Wabash and is now owned by the
American Coal and Lightering Com
pany of Baltimore, Maryland. She is
1S5 feet in length and while her spars
have been cut down to carry small
sails her cabin aft has not been al
tered and excellent quarters are pro-
vided for Captain Lager and his crew
of two.

TREATY OF 1877
PROVES ITSvALUE
IN COURT MONDAY

Buffalo, N. Y, June "A treaty dat
ed 1897, sanctioned by the Senate and
signed by the President, was success
fully used by three Seneca Indians
yesterday in the supreme court as a
defence against the charge of Illegal
fishing.
The case came before Justice Pool
ey on habeas corpus proceedings. Chief
Kennedy produced the book containing
the treaty which gave the Indians per-
petual rights to fish and hunt in the
section of the county where they were
arrested.
Justice Pooley held that the treaty
superseded the state laws and the In
dams were released.
