Be Warned
in time. Kidney diseases may be prevented
by purifying, renewing, and invigorating
the blood with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. When,
through debility, the action of the kidneys
is perverted, these organs rob the blood of
its needed constituent, albumen, which is
passed off in the urine, while worn out
matter, which they should carry off from
the blood, is allowed to remain. By the
use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, the kidneys
arc restored to proper action, and Albu
minuria, or
Bright’s Disease
is prevented. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla also
prevents inflammation of the kidneys, and
other disorders of these organs. Mrs. Jas.
AV. AVeld, Forest Hill st., Jamaica Plain,
Mass., writes: “I have had a complica
tion of diseases, but my greatest trouble
has been with my kidneys. Four bottles
of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla made me feel like
a new person; as well and strong as
ever.” W. M. McDonald, 46 Summer st.,
Boston, Mass., had been troubled for years
with Kidney Complaint. By the use of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, he not only
Prevented
the disease from assuming a fatal form,
but was restored to perfect health. John
McLellan, cor. Bridge and Third sts.,
Lowell, Mass., writes: “For several years
I suffered from Dyspepsia and Kidney
Complaint, the latter being so severe a‘c
times that I could scarcely attend to my
work. My appetite was poor, and I was
much emaciated; but by using
AYER’S
Sarsaparilla
my appetite and digestion improved, and
my health has been perfectly restored.”

Tlie results from the use of the extract of the
South American Moxie Nerve Food Plant have
excited medical and observing New England the
last ten weeks, as never before. We are a people
with worn out nerves, abused with stimulants,
drugs, morphine, severe mental labor, excitement,
and sexual excesses. This food can recover the
whole field. Though harmless as milk, inside of
eleven weeks, in Lowell alone, it has recovered
305 cases of nervous and mental exhaustion from
one | to twenty years standing. Some were help
less, two mentally inbecile, three had paralysis,
one was blind. Two cases of insanity were cured
in Boston, but tlie friends will not allow use of
names, both in high life. It makes healthy peo
ple clear-headed, vigorous, and able to stand
twice their usual labor witli less fatigue. Con
tinued, it hinders exhaustion of brain and
nerves from excessive labor. It stops nervous
ness, and gives an immense appetite. Lowell,
alone, lias taken 33,000 bottles m ten weeks. As
we have no room for testimonials, we offer $500.00
to any person who can show our statements to he
untrue. Eleven old drunkards say it stops the
rum thirst. For sale by all apothecaries and gro
cers. 36 cents a quart bottle, $3.50 a dozen
Double extracts, 50 cts., and $5.00 a dozen. Peo

Interesting Meetings of the’ State
Convention at Bangor.
Bangou, Oct. 24.—This morning’s session of the
State iconvention of the Young Men’s Christian
Associations opened very auspiciously with well
attended devotional exercises led by H. If. Diston
of St. John.
After the convention was called to order Rev.
G. B. Illsley of Bangor read the scriptures and
offered prayer.
V. E. Foss of Portland read a paper prepared
by G. F. French, of the same city, on “Boys’ work,
how shall it be sustained?” The discussion which
followed was participated in by W. C. Douglass,
W. S. Corey and H. H. Burgess of Portland, P. A
Whiting of New York, F. A. Haskell of Auburn,
and W. M. Besse of Biddeford.
G. W. E. Barrows of Bangor spoke upon “The
week of prayer,” and was followed by r. A. Whit
ing of New York, who made farther remarks upon
the same subject.
Their remarks were followed by an interesting
Bible reading occupying one hour, by Inter
national College Secretary, T. D. Wisliard of New
York.
The session closed with prayer by Rev. N. D.
Harrlman of Bangor.
During the forenoon telegraphic greetings were

and elsewhere in the State.
WASHINGTON.
Senator Sherman Serenaded.
Washington, Oct. 24—Senator John Sherman
was tonight tendered a serenade by his friends in
this city. The Marine Band furnished music for
the occasion and a large crowd listened to the
speeches. Senator Sherman was introduced by
lion. Benj. Butterworth and spoke for half an
hour. The purity of the ballot was the principal
theme of his discourse. He declared that every
National election since 1868 had been tainted
witli fraud and terrorism, and asserted that last
year, by unlawful combination and fraud Grover
Cleveland had been elected President of the
United States, when if there had been a fair vote
and a fair count James G. Blaine would have been
elected. The speaker dwelt at some length on
tlie recent elections in Ohio and charged the
Democrats with perpetrating gross frauds against
tlie purity of the ballot. He believed that Con
gress should pass a wise election law to govern
the election of members of Congress and Presi
dential electors, and if such a measure failed to
protect the negroes in their right of suffrage then
the Republican party would take care that the
Southern States were not allowed a representa
tion based on their negro population.
Troubles of the Telephone.
Three several petitions have been presented to
the Department of Justice asking that suits in
equity be brought to vacate Belrs patents now
owned by the American Bell Telephone Co. Two
oi these petitions were presented by the Globe
Telephone Co. and the other by the Washington
Telephone Co. The Department of Justice has
referred the petitions, with accompanying papers,
to tlie Department of the Interior for the report,
advice and recommendation of the Secretary of
the Interior. The Secretary of the Interior in
turn has referred each to the Commissioner of Pa
tents for his “report and opinion.” Mr. Mont
gomery lias liot yet reported to the Secretary of
the Interior but lias submitted to him a brief sum
marv of each case. Secretary Lamar will order
that inasmuch as bis advice, opinion and recom
mendation are invited lie will ask all interested
parties to appear before Him and the Commission
er of Patents and answer to the following ques
tions; 1st, Has the government a right to insti
tute and maintain such suit for such purpose?
2d, If it has, do the facts as they shall be pre
sented warrant or demand that such suit be
brought? All the proceedings will be had pub
liclv.
Minor Matters.
Commodore J. G. Walker has been recommis
sioned as chief of the bureau of navigation, and
Commodore Montgomery Sicarde as chief of the
bureau of ordnance of the Navy Department.
Governor-elect Foraker is in the city.
MAXWELL IDENTIFIED.
His Aged Father Confronts Him in
His Cell.
St. Louis, Oct. 24.—The mystery of tlie iden
tity of Maxwell, the murderer of C. A Preller, is
cleared at last. Tonight his father, Samuel N.
Brooks of Hyde, Eng., called at the jail. When
the old man saw Maxwell he cried out; “Hugh!
Hugh! It is indeed you!” The prisoner rose, and,
for the first time, seemed to lose control of him
self. “It is, father, it is I,” said he. Then, im
mediately controlling himself, he stopped and sat
down on a chair. The father again addressed his
son, and said: “Oh, Hugh, you had better be dead
than here. Your mother's health is gone and tlie
family ruined!” and sobbing fell into the arms of
tlie guard. Maxwell sat in His chair looking an
noyed, and, but for tlie first recognition of his
father exhibited no emotion whatever. Mr.
Brooks afterward said that he had no doubt what
ever but that his son was insane. He said Hugh
left home last January, ostensibly to go
to Dublin, since which time the family had heard
nothing of him.”
CANADA’S FISCAL POLICY.
A Deficit of Nearly $3,000,000 for
the Year Ending June Last.
Ottawa. Ont.. Oct. 24.—Those who had looked
for a large deficit in the Dominion treasury, as a
result ot the financial transactions during the
fiscal year ending the 30th of June last, have had
their expectations confirmed by the publication
today of the official statement. The total revenue
<111 < 1 i A|iniuiuui-B uuiiiiii, me jcai auun .1 ucncit
of $2,357,470. The total revenue during the year
was $32,970,000. or $1,101,000 more than last
year, while the expenditures increased from $30,
445,000 to $35,327,000. It is evident that the
national policy theory of Sir John Macdonald lias
exploded, and that, in place of the large annual
surplus lie promised, there will in the future be an
annually increasing deficit as the result of his
fiscal policy._
OHIO ELECTION.
Cincinnati, 0., Oct. 24.—Wm. Dalton, county
clerk, has issued certificates in relation to all

The case of Julius Dexter, treasurer of the com
mittee of one hundred, charged with perjury iu
making an affidavit for the arrest of a man for
illegal voting, was called before Justice Gilligan
today. As there was no testimony produced,
after waiting an hour for the witnesses, the case
was dismissed. _
PRAIRIE FIRES.
Great Destruction of Property In
Texas.
Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 24.—Reports
reached here last night from Clarendon, Danley
county, and other points, of the most devastat
ing prairie fires ever known there. It is be
lieved that the number of acres burned over will
approach 500,000. The country over which fires
are raging extends from the Canadian river, one
hundred miles south. It is impossible as yet to
give any idea of individual losses. In some places
the cowboys were obliged to ride into the lake to
save themselves. Judge Brown of Clarendon was
severely burned while endeavoring to save his
summer crop of millet, which was destroyed. Ful
ly one-fourtn of his grain was also destroyed.
AMBUSHED BY MOONSHINERS.
An United States Officer and His At
tendant Killed in Georgia.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 24.—A report reached here
last night of the killing of William Wall. United
States deputy marshal, and William Clements,

assailants were ambushed. Particulars have not
yet been received.

HANLAN HUMBLED.
Teemer Easily Defeats the Toronto
Sculler.
And Is Now the Champion Oarsman
of America.
Hanlan Weakens and Capsizes His
Boat.
Titov, N. Y„ Oct 24.—The double scull race be
tween John Teenier of McKeesport. Penn., aud
Edward Hanlan of Toronto, was rowed this after
noon over the Pleasure Island course, a mile and
a half aud return. Hanlan’s defeat was glorious
in the minds of a majority of the spectators, but in
the opinion of his friends he was beaten by an ac
cident. Tlie race was for the stakes of $2000 and
the championship of America. The general im
firession yesterday was than Hanlan would win,
or it was thought that in the strong current and
high water his science would out-do Teemer's
strength. Ali of Courtney’s friends have pinned
their faith to Teemer and backed him heavily.
They are happy and wealthy to-night.
At 3.30 o’clock 3000 people were on Pleasant
Island; as many more were on excursion boats iu
the river, and several thousands were strung
aiong tlie Hudson Kivcr railroad track on the
Cflst side.
The officers of the race were as follows; Re
feree, Janies Ormond of Boston; official time
keeper, Timothy Donogliue of Newburg; judge at
the start and finish for Hanlan, Fred Plaisted;
judge at the start and finish for Teemer, Wallace
Ross; judge at the turn for Hanlan, Daniel Breen
of Boston ; Judge at the turn for Teemer, J. R.
^ PoSs'^old on the island showed Hanlan the
favorite at $100 to $70. The betting was unusual
ly brisk, more money changing hands than hi both
of the recent double-scull races. Teemer, when
weighed in his club-house, tipped the beam at 159
and Hanlan at ICO. Both rowed hi cedar shells
made by Huddick of Boston. Teemer’s boat was
thirty one feet six inches long, six inches deep
and weighed twenty-nine pounds; Hanlan’s boat
was thirty-one feet nine Inches in length, ten and
one-half 'inches wide and weighed twenty-seven
pounds. Haitian's boat was perfectly new. never
having been used before. Teemer's boat had
seen some service, but had never before been
used by him. .
At 4.20 o’clock Hanlan launched his boat, and
amid the cheers of the thousands of spectators
rowed down to the starting point. Teemer quick
ly followed. Hanlan wore a red and white striped
shirt aud blue trunks. He wore no cap, while
Teenier had on a dark cap, blue and white shirt
and navy blue trunks.
At 4.67 the referee cautioned the oarsmen.
Teenier had taken the inside position. Almost
immediately afterwards the word was given.
Teenier caught the water first, and started away
with a rush, pulling a long, steady stroke of 34 to
the minute. .Hanlan in the middle of the river
with the powerful current to contend with, bent to
his work as lie never had done in a race in this
country before. He pulled thirty-eight strokes a
minutes, and for a mile managed to keep oil even
terms with Teemer. The latter seemed nervous
anti excited ueiorc me start, out mi™ ”
the boat he appeared to have forgotten his fright,
and rowed like a man confident of winning.
The pace that Hanlan had set was telling on
him more than it ditl on Teemer, for he began to
row unsteady, and at the three-quarter mile post
Teemer began to draw away from him by the foot,
so that when the men passed the mile point
Teenier had the lead and elear water. Teemer
turned the tables on Hanlan, and he now began
to spurt. “Come on,” he called out, hut Hanlan
could not, and from tliis point Teemer drew away
from Hanlan, and was leaving him at every stroke.
Hanlan fought desperately, and tried again and
again to make up the lost ground, rowing 38
strokes to the (minute, but Teenier was too much
for him; he hail more speed and better staying
(lowers, aud as the men reached the upper stake
Teenier was leading by four lengths, and had tile
race well in hand. Teemer was around and
straightened out for home, when Haitian, 15
seconds behind, made for his buoy. He rushed at
it like a man bewildered and ran into the boat in
which sat his judge at the turn, Daniel Breen.
One side of the washboard of his shell cracked
like a peanut shell, the boat swerved, and, point
ing down stream, began to fill. Hanlan took a
stroke or two and then keeled over into the water.
He was helped into a skiff. His boat was hailed
out and he started for home. He was a beaten
man, however, and the judge who was in Teemer’s
boat at the upper stake, says he was rowed out
when he got there, and that he was “dead” and
could not go on. Teemer reached his stakeboat
at llm. 35%s. which is remarkable time against
such a current. Hanlan reached his 11 seconds
later, so that it is easily seen that Teenier had
him beaten. Teemer, seeing what bail happened,
let up and rowed leisurely home. On lus way he
reoeived quite an ovation. He paid Hanlan in his
kind, stopped, threw kisses, gagged, coughed,
took off lus hat, and did to Hanlan what the latter
has been doing to others in all his races. Teemer
said he would not make fun of any oarsman except
Hanlan. ,, , .
Teemer. after finishing the race, rowed back to
Ills quarters, aud the people were greatly excited
over him. (treat crowds collected around Ills
quarters, anil lie was called ou for a speech. He
did not want to make one, but the crowd insisted
that lie must say something, so he climbed up on
the top of liisquarters and said: “Gentlemen: I
think f rmved tu win this race, and shall always
do so.” He then jumped down, and cheer after
cheer was given him. . , , , , ,.
Hanlan feels badly over his defeat, and his
friends say that he cried when he got out of his
boat and was greatly broken up. Hanlan backed
himself, and says Teemer beat him fairly. It is
usually the custom to shake hands with each
other after a race. Mr. Volk, Teemer's backer,
tried to have John shake hands with Hanlan, hut
the McKeesport lad would not do it.
Teenier is happy. He lias beaten Hanlan in a
square, level up race, and Is entitled to great
credit. He leaves for home iu a few days, and
will visit Boston In about six weeks. He, with
Boss, will row any two men ill the world a doublc
seull race for $2600 a side.
Hanlan returned to Albany tills evening. He
make's uo complaint, but says “I will acknowledge
that Teemer beat me.” He goes to Worcester
Monday and will be at the Hosmer-Laing race pn
Tuesday next. After that ho will go home for the
WTcenior is now the champion, and llaulan will
liave to accept Ills terms should they race again.
Teemer rowed the course in 21m. 12s. Had be
been pushed on the way home he could have
hofltpii t lit* rfi’ord.
Because Wallace Boss, Teemer’s trainer is Han
lau’s brother-in-law, people are saying tonight

Teemer is the lion of ibe hour, and already plans

A CHINESE PUZZLE.
The Canadian and United States Gov
ernments Both Outwitted.
Ottawa, Oct. 24. It is hut a few days since
the attention of the Secretary of State at Wash
ington was called to the large number ofCbinamen
wlio were smuggling themselves into the United
States from British Columbia, while the Canadian
authorities refused to allow them to laud when
they returned to Canada until a fee of $50 was
paid on each one. The tables have now been
turned against the Dominion, as it has been rep
resented to the government here that a number
of the Chinamen who were lately driven out of
Seattle. W. T., where five of their countrymen
were killed, have smuggled themselves across the
border into the northwest territories and located
themselves at Brandon, where they propose going
into business. The residents of Brandon are anx
ious to get rid of them. The same rule that was
applied in ease of British Columbia Chinamen
who went to the United States applies in this case
to their being returned from where they came.
They have entered the Dominion without paying
the license, and cannot pay It. What the govern
ments will do in the matter remains to be seen.
The necessity of some understanding with the
United States government in regard to such cases,
where Chinamen who have entered either country
from the other in violation of existing laws, is
made apparent. _

S®3Q3A Horrible Confession.
I’iiiudelthia, Oct. 24.—A special from Sta
ruccara., says that John Howell, who yesterday
murdered his four children, then shot and probab
ly fatally injured himself, recovered consciousness
this morning and confessed to the killing of iris
children. Howell was an industrious man, but
sickness during the past year has affected his
mind considerably. He says yesterday his wife
and daughter drove to the village store, and as
soon as they were out of sight fie set about his
murderous work. He Induced his four children,
whose ages ranged from 3 to 12, to take arsenic
and when they fiad fallen in a stupor, he succes
sively placed a pistol close to the forehead of each
and drove a bullet into their brain. Howell then
seated himself with a cocked revolver in his hand,
to await the coming of his wife and daughter, in
tending to add them to his victims.
After waiting, and they not returning, he shot
himself twice and fell unconscious beside his mur
dered children, where he was found by his wife
and daughter upon their return shortly after. No
one holds the wreched man responsible, as his in
sanity is generally conceded. It Is thought he
cannot recover. _

forty-one, ten less than on the previous day.

was only discovered by the city medical vaccina
tor visiting the place and forcing his way In with
the aid of the sanitary police. No attempts at vio
lence, so far, has been made on the health offi
cials, but upon removing the sick, the large
crowds that collect use threatening language to
the medical superintendents and their assistants
alike. If it were not for the imposing force em
ployed, all efforts of the authorities would be fu
tile. As far as returns are in this evening, they
show a decrease in mortality of eight this week as
compared with the previous week. More liospita
accommodation Is called for by the city medical
superintendent. The total cases in the city at
present are estimated at from 2500 to 3000.

London, Oct. 24.—It is now evident that the
parliamentary campaign will not pass off without
serious rioting in many quarters, as party feeling,
which already runs high, daily grows more bitter.
The Marquis of Lome, the Liberal candidate for
Hampstead, went down to Brentford, a town
seven miles west of London, to deliver a campaign
speech. While addressing the electors a mob as
saulted him with rotten eggs, and some of them,
gaining the platform, smashed his hat over his
head. The supporters of the Marquis rushed to
his rescue and a light ensued. The noble lord now
became so thoroughly frightened that he hastily
departed from the scene, ran through the streets
in a drenching rain to the railway station and im
mediately departed for London. Meanwhile the
row continued, the supporters of the Marquis be
ing severely handled, and becoming discouraged
at their desertion by their champion they finally
retreated, leaving their contestants masters of
the field. The latter then seized the platform and
passed a resolution condemning the policy or the
y J
When the Queen’s son-in-law made his appear
ance as the Liberal candidate for Hampstead it
occasioned considerable surprise,and when he put
forward in his address advanced radical opinions
the surprise was greatly increased. He adopted
Mr. Chamberlain’s programme of free education
and advocated immediate disestablishment in
Scotland. He championed the principles of the
Free Land League, and with a view to the en
couragement of the subdivision of land, suggested
that sales of large estates en bloc should be sub
ject to heavy taxation, while sales of land to be
divided into smaller lots should be left duty free.
As to the House of Lords, he hardly went so far
as the Hampstead Radicals desired, being of the
opinion that the venerable institution might be
amended by the infusion of elected members. He
favored the extension of local self-government to
Ireland.
London, Oct. 25.—The Economist commenting
upon the unstable equilibrinim of the Liberal
party, savs the Liberals will doubtless win in the
coming elections, but that their victory will be
temporary and provisional, and will not outlast
Gladstone's political life. The Radicals, says the
Economist, are mistaken in assuming too confi
dently that the future belongs to Chamberlain.
Claptraps, like curses, come home to roost.
Chamberlain has raised hopes among the ignorant
classes that are doomed to disappointment when
the awakening day comes, and Chamberlain will
find it more difficult to induce the people to trust
him the second time.
The Balkan Difficulty.
LONDON.Oct. 24.—It is tonight stated unequivo
cally that the representative of England to the
Balkan conference In Constantinople has been in
structed by bis government to make a motion in
the conference in favor of maintaining the union
of Bulgaria and Roumelia effected under Frince
Alexander, and it is further declared that the rep
resentatives of France and Italy have also been
instructed by their governments to support En
gland’s motion. If this motion be made the con
ference will be divided, Germany, Austria and
Russia arrayed against England, France and
Italy. It is not worth while to conjecture how
Turkey, the power chiefly concerned, will stand.
Her attitude will probably be decided by force,
such relations with the Porte as to compel it
eventually to side against Russia, and that if un
accomplished the difficulty would seem to be
settled.
Sofia, Oct. 24.—The Servians are invading Bul

Irish home life, coerced individual liberty, extort
ed hard earned money from the people and per
mitted the perpetration of outrages. The Union
appeals to the people to assert their independence
of the league and maintain the integrity of the
empire.
The manifest calls on electors to vote against
the tyranny of Parnell and the cliques of petty
traders, bankrupt farmers and idle loungers who
form the league and intimidate the country.
Financial Matters in England.
£ondon, Oct. 26.—The low rate of discount
fails to attract borrowers, who in consequence of
the uncertainty of the future of politics, trade and
finance, which still weakens public, confidence,
see no prospect of employing money at an lmme
dlate or prospective profit. Large quantities of
American bills are being offered on account of
English purchases of American securities. The
recent drawing of gold from the bank of England
is expected to result in a rise of the bank rale of
discount next week, but no equivalent advance In
outside rates is expected.

England’s Trouble with Burmah.
Madrid, Oct. 24,-Tlie contingents of the
Indian army from Madras and Calcutta are being
rapidly transported to Rangoon, where the expe
ditionary force is being assembled lor the invasion
of Burmah. The Burmese government is actively
preparing to resist the advance of the British
troops. Engineers are busily engaged in erecting
earthworks, planting torpedoes, building fire
rafts, loading milks with stone and sinking them
at convenient points in the Irrawaddy river to ob
struct its navigation. Kyuyyung Atwin Wood has
been appointed to the command of the forces on
the frontier, and lie has been ordered to prevent
the passage of tile British at all cost. King The
baw is disappointed because a majority of the
cabinet officials at the council held to consider tile
situation favored a peace policy. Notwithstand
ing active preparations of the Burmese forces,
Britisli officers expect that the campaign in Bur
mah will be a short oue. One English regiment
and two native regiments are about to embark for
Burmah.
