There is long continued complaint
against inspector Ferguson regard
ing what is believed to be arbitrary
official action on bis part The latest
under observation is his refusal to al
low the application of Jno. Peterson
as master of the Dolpliin. He has
been mate of the Miles for two years,
was captain of the AlpJia for nearly a
year, and has been at sea in various
capacities for sixteen years. His ap
plication was endorsed by pilots Reed
and Latham and Capt Wes. Whit
comb. It is claimed that this arbi
trary action, all the more annoying
and unsatisfactory because of his re
fusal to give reason therefor, on vari
ous occasions has resulted in loss and
injury to this city's commercial inter
ests. Of course he has a right to
grant or withhold licenses as he sees
proper, but it is only reasonable that
grounds for such action should be
obtainable.

Emotion's Minstrel Portland.
The magic of Billy Emerson's name
at the head of a minstrel troupe the
first we have had in a long time was
sufficient to fill New Market theatre
lust evening. The opening .vas started
in rattling style and sustained
throughout. The singing cf Billy
Emerson sounded like old times. En
core followed encore until the noted
minstrel was tired. The reception ac
corded him was enthusiastic and cer
tainly cordial, showing the large
number of admirers he has in this
cily. Mr. Carter, Mr. Moore and Mr.
Kellog sang admirably, each in a
style peculiarly his own, and which
was highly appreciated. Pete Mack
was very funny indeed and fairly con
vulsed the house.
The show was in many notable re
spects ,the best we have had of its
kind in a long time, and should be
witnessed by everyone who enjoys a
first class and genuine minstrel per
formance. . The house will doubtless
be crowded every night during the
week, just as it deserves to be. News.

Beaching avride o'er shore and tide.

Of years that should be dead,

Give Them a Chance!
That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading
from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumo
nia, catarrh, consumption or any of
the family of throat and -nose and
head and lung obstructions, all are
bad. All ought to be got rid of. There
is just one sure way to get rid of
them. That is to take Boschee's
German SS'rup, which any druggist
will sell yon at 75 cents a bottle.
Even if everything else has failed
yon, you may depend npou this for
certain.
