They simply ferment in the stomach and fill the stomach with poisonous principles. What these people need is something that will digest their food after it has been eaten, and it i3 in just such cases that tne Digestive Cordial as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers is proving remarkably successful.

Author of "Ten Thousand Miles on a JiO Yeara Hiding On Only Tluee Old Fashioned High Visited Portland Hie Way tto White Kiver Junction to "Take Up the Lust I.ast Summer. Now-a-days one of the old fashioned, high-wheel "ordinary" bicycles is as extraordinary a spectacle and attracts as much attention upon streets as it did in the first years of bioyoling, when the unsophisticated regarded the riding of a bicycle as something in the nature of navigating a flying machine.

One of these old fashioned bicycles was ridden on Portland's streets yesterday and was of peculiar interest because ridden by one of the most interesting and famous bicyclers of this country. The bicycle was one of tlio old Columbia Light Roadstars. It was fully ndckled, and; flashed in the sun in that glittering beautiful manner that was wont to so fascinate the wheelmen of a decade ago. It was a smaB one being only 46 inches in diameter, while the average of the old high wheels was 54 inches. The rider was a man about fifty years of age, short in stature, square shouldered and solidly built, with a'smooth face and strong features that once seen would seldom be forgotten.

He wore a straw hat and a bicycling suit of spotless white flannel, with short trousers, of course. This man was none other than KARL KRON who is in all respects the most unique figure in the bicycling world of this country. He was one of the earliest riders in the country, having begun in the latter part of the seventies. He has ridden for nearly, if not quite, 20 years and the peouliar thing about it is that in all that long period, despite the changes and improvements in bicycles, he has always ridden the same kind of a wheel, viz, a Columbia Light Roadster, full nickelled and of 46 inch in size. Also in all that time though be has ridden AT LEAST 25,000 MILES this is only the third bicycle that he ever rode.

It is exactly similar to its predecessors. His home is in New York. He is a bachelor and a man of independent means. He is a journalist and author, but more than all he is a bicycler. In 1887 he published a book entitled "Ten Thousand Miles on a Bicycle.

There were 800 pages giving a complete record of his experiences in riding the 10,000 miles. He rode the entire distance on the same bicycle, the second one of the three that ho has owned. While nearing the end of these 10,000 miles he was riding in.the Bermuda islands, in the year 1881, as a member of one of the Bermuda wintertours, organized and conducted by Mr. F. A.

Elwell, of this city. One chapter in his book is entitled "Coral Reefs of another is entitled "In the Down East Fogs." This relates his experiences as a member of another of Mr. Elwell's tours in the year 1883. This tour was through the eastern part of Maine, including Eastport, and that reeion. It was Mr.

El well's first tour and. together with another tour, that was run that saine year in the Middle States by another man, named Ayres, was the first bicycle tour in this country. With the exception of these two tours Karl Kron whose real name is Lyman Boggs, has done all of his riding alone. At the end of the 10,000 miles, while in Bermuda, the tires of his bicycle were worn as flat and thin as a stool carriage tire and were only held to the rim by being embedded in a mass of cement. However they lasted until the 10,000 miles were finished.

The names of some of tho chapters of his book will show whore he has ridOur Pianos favor, because they contain all the essential requisites of strictly high-grade instruments. Be Sure To Visit Tremont St. before buying or renting. Largest warerooms and most styles in the world. Easy Payments.

This list of course, includes only of tho places visited during that 10,000 miles, which is, of course, less than half of all that he lias ridden.

Karl Kron came to this city by boat from New York Sunday night, and Monday forenoon called upon Mr. F. A. Elwell, who had not seen him before for Ave years. He also called upon Mr.

Charles H. Lamson, who was also a member of that early bicycle tour to Eastport and Calais 12 years ago. Karl Kron rode the same kind of a bicycle and wore the same kind of a suit that he did when Mr. Lamson rode with him on that tour so long ago. Ho left his shining nickeled bicycle outside Mr.

Lanison's store where it attracted a good deal of attention from the passers-by. He camo to Portland by boat on his way to White River Junction in'the White'Moun tains, where he is going for a peculiar purpose, which was none other than to "pick up his bicycle trail, whioh he lost there last summer," as he told his old friends, Messers. Elwell and Lamson. He then explained that in all his riding he has endeavored never to break the trail of hie bicycle, so that his route over the country would be indicated by an unbroken line on the map. If he got thro'igh riding at a certain place in the fall, he would go to that place and begin agaiu in the spring.

Last summer he was riding in the. White Mountains and at White River Junction, during an encounter with a dog, he broke a pedal. Of oourse there was no way to repair suoli an old-fash bicycle, and ho had to break the travel at that point and go home by rail. Consequently lie is now going up there to resume the trail again. Karl Kron says and believes that the nickel-plaited high bioyele and a white flannel, suit are the only proper equipment of a wheelman.

He has never used anything else and never will. He looks upon the safety as a plaything for children, and never has been on one in his life. He scoffs at the pneumatic tire and the idea of a feminine bicyclers as worse than ridiculous. Back in the early half of the eighties Kail Kron was a conspicous feature in the old parades of the L. A.

W. in New York, Newport, Boston and Chicago. But he never joined the L. A. W.

and was prominent simply in the ranks of the "unattaohed division." Whenever on the three occasions that he has bought a new bicycle, he has gone to the factory at Hartford, and riddon the machine away from tlio factory, door. He is an excellent rider, and even on his clumsy old-fashioned wheel has made several "century runs," that is, runs of 100 miles under 24 hours. His most notable accident was when riding along the tow-path of the Erie Canal some years ago. Just as he run over the tow-boat's rope, the mules started suddenly, the rope came up quickly and with great force. Ho was hurled head first into the canal and his bicycle was caught in the rope and somewhat broken.

Mr. Elwell rode with him yesterday afternoon as far as Sebago Lake. He rode a modern bicycle and the contrast of that wheel and the old light roadster that Karl Kron was riding, and such as be himself had ridden with him 15 years ago, was something very unusual in bicycling happenings. Racing on Inland Waters. Norway, September sail boat race on the lake for the silver cup, Saturday witnessed by hundreds people ai Norway viJJago ana on the islands and shores.

The course was six miles, extending from Norway lake village to Bass Island and back to point of starting. It was a superb day with a smacking breeze blowing. Three boats started. Liouvie P. Swett's boat, Trouble, was manned by himself, James C.

True, Will Gerry, Phil Bradbury and Isaac Rogers. Dennie Cole's boat had for a sailing crew himsolf and Harry R. Virgin, of Portland. Captain Harlie's boat, The Sprite, had aboard, boside the captain, John French and Mr. Sprague.

A. H. Bodkin's boat from some accident did not appear in the race, but will be on hand in the other races, which must be sailed before the cup is won. Frank Williams, an old sailor, who has been round the world, and Frank Taylor with Mr. Bod kins will constitute the crew.

Almost at the start the Sprite capsized and its crew had to swim for it. They got rather a cold bath, but otherwise escaped serious results. Swett's boat, the Trouble, took the lead and was some dist ance ahead at the turning point at Bass island, where D. C. Clark, having risen on one of the spectator's boats to give the crew a cheer, lost his balance and fell into the water, amid the laughter and shouts of those who witnessed the acncident.

It took the Trouble 67 minutes to reach Bass Island, beating against the wind but it was only twenty minutes in going back to point of starting. It was about ten minutes after that Cole's boat reached the goal. The winner of the oup must get two races out of three. The crew of the Trjuble expect to wiu the second race and the cup. It has not yet been determined when the second trial will be made, but great interest has already been aroused and it will draw out one of the largest orowds ever seen about the lake.

On either side swung the Stars and Stripes, and directly in the rear a dozen or more muskets were stacked.

The meeting was called to order nVinnf Ollil momhora acant: The busiiess was of routine character, the only important feature being the report of the Sherman statute committee. Col. Fred I).

Grant, in his oration, gave the 1 istory of the last year of the war as lie knew it appeared to Gen. Grant, gave a sketch of the past commander's own plan of campaign and described the order in which ho would have narrated the story in the second volume of his memories, had he been ablo to use his voice iu dictating during the last month of his life, or had his life been spared a few weeks longer. Gen. Grant's first work was to inaugurate a plan of campaign for all the armies. Upon examination of his writings during tho war, it will be seen at an early period he had been impressed with the idea that active and continuous operations of all the troops that could be brought into the field, regardless of season or weather, were neces a for a speedy termination of Ihe war, that the superior strength and resources of the North were more than neutralized by the great advantage the confederates had in tneir interior lines through a friendly country, which required little or no force to guard, while tho Union troops were operating in a hostile country, and their lines of supplies had to be guarded by a force larger than that operating in the field.

During the first threo years of tho war, the various armies hail acted condition which had enabled the onemy to re-enforce each point of attack by drawing troops from points of inactivity. Having this in view, Gen. Grant to move all the armies at once. looked upon the Army of tho Jamos as the left wing, the Army of the Potomac as the centre, and the troops operating under Gen. Sherman, of which the Aimy of the Tennessee was a most important part, as the right wing all other troops being considered as co-operative columns.

He beliovod that, by moving the whole lino at the same time, the greatest number of troops practicable would De brought against the armed forces of the enemy, and would prevent them from using the same force to resist the efforts of the Union army, first at one point and then at another, and that by continuously hammering against their armies, he could destroy both them and tneir sources of supplies. From a study of the great campaigns of the world, said Col. Grant, I have become convinced that there have been five great epochs in modern warfare: First, the thorough organization of armies, forced upon civilization by the invention of firearms. Second, the division of the organization int.n cmnll on iinif.c mmnanioc nnrl regiments, for the purpose of rapidity of movements. Third, the massing of these smaller units into greater onos, brigades and divisions, which were stronger, either for resistance or attack, than the same number of men organized only into companies or regiments.

Fourth, the massing of artillery to break up the brigade or division organisation, In order to weaken a line of batt 0 before an attack in force. Filth, the mode of attacking suoh artillery by clouds of skirmishers, and silencing their gnns, until the mass behind could advance and seize thom. This mode of warfare was inaugurated by the Army of the Tennessee, beginning at battle of Belmont, and improving in each suooesslvo battle lought by them 1 the fall of Vicksburg, when it had reached the climax of perfecticn ai.d formed an opoch of war.

THE FACTS ARE CERTAINLY OF AX INTERESTING NATURE. The Tale as Told by the Lady Herself In Her Own Words. The poet Alexander Pope says: "A wise physician, skilled in, wounds to heal' Is more than armies to the publijc weal. Bat, who shall decide when doctors disagree?" This question was brought forcibly to mind iby a recent occurrence which happened in Orange, Mass.

It we will let Mrs Wm. Lamson, who resides In that town, tell story in her own wny. Four years ago I was very sick. I had been sick for three years before. My trouble was turn of life.

I was confined to the bed for three years. I suffered great pain and came very near losing my life. "I did but just live, just escape the grave. I employed two doctors, and derived no benefit from Mrs. David Goddard, of Orange, who had been cured by Dr.

Greene's Nervurajblood and nerve remedy, advised me to use Nervura. MBS. WM. LA SON. "I was confined to my bed when I began to use the medicine.

I gradually began to improve, and have now usede five bottles and am entirely cured. I do hard work every day, and firmly believ that if I had not used Dr. Greene's Nervura I should now have been in my grave. That put mo on my feet when all else failed. 1 do not now suffer any pain, and enjoy good health from the benefits I derived from tho use of Dr.

Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. have often recommended its use to other suffering people, and I send this lettej for the benefit of others." It would appear that this letter plainly answered our opening question. If doctors disagree about your case, if you have tried physician after physician, and are still not cured, follow tho example of Mrs. Lamson and use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and norvo remedy.

Hemenibi that it will help you even if all else has failed, even if through those repeated failures to be cured, you are discouraged and in dospair of getting well. This grand remedy has saved thousands of persons worse off than you are, and it will make you well and strong if you will use it. It is purely vegetable and harmless, and is the disc overy of Dr. Greene, of 34 Temple Place, Boston, the most successful speoialst in curing nervous and chronic diseases.
