NO Medicines to Take Internally. a
Startling New Method Of
Treat1nent

The well-known Italian physicist,
Alessandro Volta, for whom the electric
volt has been named, has made a scienti-
fc discovery that promises to make rheu-
matte pain a thing of the past for the
thousands who have suffered its terrible
tortures.
that Is claimed to be a powerful and ac-
tive Uric, Acid solvent. 1t is not taken
internally, but Is shaken into the shoes or
stockings and Is absorbed through the
pores in the soles OF the feet. 1t is in
tended to be absorbed almost Immediately
into the blood and this is due. no doubt,
to the fact that the soles of the feet
contain over ten times the number of
pores to the square inch as does any
other part of the body.
So remarkable and rapid have been the
results from the use of Volta powder,
both in this country and in Italy, that
the American distributors have author
lied local druggists to dispense Volta
with an unqualified guarantee of relief
from the use of the very first package or
your money will be refunded.
II you suffer from Rheumatic pains,
Sciatica, Lumbago. Govt or Neuralgia,
you owe 1t to yourself to try this re-
markahle new scientific treatment 1t is
absolutely harmless and will not cost one
cent if YOU do not receive wonderful re-
lief.

good druggists as John Coughlin's Drug

Rev. Samuel J. Upjohn, former
rector of st. Marks Episcopal church
in this city, passed away Saturday
night March 20 at Germantown,
Penna., according to word received
in the city, Sunday. Rev. Mr.. Upjohn
came to Augusta in 1867 and left IN
| 1885,. being here for 16 years. This
parish and the one at Germantown,
were the only two parishes held Ny
the late rector. He did not resign
from the latter charge until he had
served 40 years. Mrs. Upjohn came
to Augusta with her husband in 1867
! as bride. They had four daughters.
Rev. Mr.. Upjohn was much be-
loved by his parishioners and when
he left 1t was to the profound regret

self and by his friends.
For the past Is years. Rev. Mr..
! Upjohn has made yearly trips to
Small Point, during the summer
months, a daughter owning a cot
tage there. Rev. Mr.. Upjohn was 81
years old when he died.
1t is interesting to note that Rev.
Mr.. Upjohn's father was architect Of
the old Episcopal church, which stood
where the Paine residence now
stands. When the new st. Mar: 8
church was built, a brother Of the
late Rev. Mr.. Upjohn was the archi-
tect of that edif1ce, so that the early
history Of the Episcopal parish is
closely allied with the Upjohn family.
DR.. Stuart B. Purves, rector of st.
Marks church, left Monday for Ger
manton to attend on Tuesday the
late Rev. Mr.. Upjohn's funeral, going
as representative Of the parish.

GOVERNOR BAXTER
HIGHLY IMPRESSED
BY BOYS CONFERENCE

Governor Baxter on Monday ex-
messed his appreciation as chair
of the general committee having the
preliminary arrangements Tor the
nth Maine boys conference In charge
for the splendid response on the part
of the citizens of the entertaihlns
center. The governor also TOOK "
casion to mention sometning Sl Tue
tremendous impression which the m
spirational meetings of the CONFER
ence made upon him.
Governor Baxter said:
"The seventeenth annual Y. M e.
A. boys conference just closed IN
Augusta, was one Of the most inter-
esting experiences of my two terms
as governor. In fact I do not, at the
moment, recall any event which has
made a9stronger appeal to me. 10
have 875 boys together In an audi
ence and to realize that they were
there for serious purpose was an
inspiration.
1.-THE boys themselves were typical
Of the rising generation in Maine.
They came from every county, rep
resented every walk in life and were
the most wholesome, good natured,
responsive group that I ever have
addressed.
"One OF the I1OSI luteTeStlHS ASi-
lures were the responses made from
the sixteen boys from the sixteen
counties. Each county was repre-
sented, and the boy who responded
spoke for two or three minutes. They
told what the conference had done
for them and it convinced everybody
in the audience that the conference
had justified itself.
1.-THE citizens of Augusta, Halo
well. Gardiner. Winthrop and Ran
dolph took hold of the entertainment
in the most generous manner and are
to be congratulated for what they
did. Every boy was made to feel at
home and every boy thought his host
or hostess was the best"
"Mr. Jefferson c. Smith, of the
state Y. NJ. c. A., Mr.. Arthur Head,
and all those associated with them
were tireiess in their efforts to make
the occasion one always to be re-
membered. l am sure everyone con-
nected with the work Is delighted at
what the conference did to help these
young men.
Several of the boys came around
early to the Blaine House this morn
ing to say another goodbye" and
wherever 1 go about the state
shall look up the boys of the con-
ference and renew my friendships
with them. They are the greatest
asset the state of Maine has today"

AGAINST A. g. K, SET ASIDE BY LAW COURT

rail next to the road, and IL or 20
feet from his car, waving both
hands" The motorman says the
plaintiff stated as a reason for not
going back further to flag the electric
car, that he thought he could see
him in time to stop. This Is sub
stantially as testified by the plaintiff.
The record shows that the motor
man was standing at his post alone.
The car had an open vestibule; the
motorman was in plain view of the
seeing the automobile on the track
ahead the motorman exclaimed,
Just look at that" and put on the
emergency brakes; that when he
saw the plaintiff the car was about
100 to 125 feet distant from the
point where the plaintiff was stand
ing. The conductor and passengers
corroborated the motQrman in all
important particulars.
The case shows a street light be-
tween the stalled automobile and the
defendants car, fixed light facing
an approaching car light, both lights
subject to the effects OF a very re-
cent rainfall and a then present
heaky fog or mist. We have exam
ined the Eecord with care. and we are
convinced that the plaintiff has fail
ed to establish either his own due
care. or the negligence of the de-
PENDANT. The jury erred in finding
otherwise. The evidence for the
plaintiff, and particularly the testi-
mony of the plaintiff himself, fails
signally to establish these essential
propositions. AS to the rule of the
last clear chance, invoked by the
plaintiff, the testimony of defendant
is ample, and the fact that the plain
tiff went back but GO or 65 feet to
give warning to the approaching
car on night like the one in ques-
ton, tends to corroborate the same,
that the motorman on defendants
car acted promptly as soon as he
knew, or in exercise of due care
should have known. that plaintiffs
: car was on defendants car line.
There is nothing in the evidence to
support any other theory, and no
facts proved from which any other
Inference could legally be drawn.
A review of the case impels the
conclusion that the verdict of the
jury is manifestly wrong. The mo-
ton for new trial must be sus-
. tanned. 1t is unnecessary to con.
slider the exceptions.
Motion sustained. Verdict set
aside. New trial granted.
