The Funeral Could Not Be Private—A Great Concourse Attend—Broken by Grief, Mrs. Blaine is Absent.—Mr# Blaine’s Will. Washington, January 80.—Mr. Blaine could not have a private funeral. Every effort was made to comply with his own understood wishes and with the ex" pressed desires of his family in this re gard, but the surging wave of public in terest swept over the barriers imposed and made his funeral one of the most impressive of public demonstrations in honor of the dead. The most eminent men in the nation stood around his bier. All business in the capital was suspended during the period when the funeral ser vices were in progress. The presence of the President and cab inet and supreme judges and high offi" cials of Congress and of the diplomatic corps was not more significant than the homage of the waiting crowds, who in respectful silence lined the streets through which the funeral cortege passed. The parlor on the second floor where the body of Mr. Blaine lay in its cedar casket, closely sealed, was fairly embow ered with floral tributes. The casket itself rested on a huge bed of roses, vio lets, palm leaves and ferns about nine feet long, by four feet wide, sent by Mrs. Emmons Blaine, the flowers artistically giving the combination of colors and de sign of an oriental rug. A large ship of state, sent by the Knights of Reciproci ty, was near by, and around the pedestal on which the coffin rested, and upon the coffin itself were a wreath of orchids and roses from President Harrison. Among other floral tributes were a gar land of violets from Mrs. Eugene Hale, which was placed on the casket, an im mense wreath of white flowers with long streamers of ribbon from the diplomatic corps. The parlor, not at any time very commodious, was far too small for the distinguished mourners who, by invita tion, sought access to it. The President entered, accompanied by Mrs. McKee, Private Secretary Halford and Lieutenant Parker. The Vice Presi dent was accompanied by Mrs. and Miss Morton. Among other persons who came were ex-Governor and Mrs. Perham of Maine, Representative and Mrs. Hingley, Representative Milliken, Mrs. Frye, the Maine delegation of fourteen gentlemen, headed by Governor Cleaves, Senator nnd Mrs. Chandler, General and Mrs. Parke, and Mrs. Eugene Hale and many others. Not all of those who had requested or had received invitations to the house could obtain admi sion to the mansion and many remained in the long line of carriages which filled the adjacent streets. The immediate mourners grouped round the casket were the widow, her married daughter, Mrs. Damrosch, Miss Hattie Blaine, James G. Blaine, Jr., Mrs. Emu.ons Blaine, Miss Abigail Dodge (Gail Hamilton), R. G. Blaine, brother of the dead statesman and his wife and daughter, Hampton Denmar of Missouri, a cousin oi Mr. Blaine, Frank, Henry, Horace and Augustus Stanwood, Walker Stinson and W. H. Hatch, all nephews of the deceased. Though a concourse of several thou sand people occupied Lafayette Square facing lie Blaine residence and though the doors and windows of the house ad joining were thronged with spectators and a double line of carriagss, 150 or more in number, extended far along the broad surface of Pennsylvania avenue in front of the treasury and the war, state and navy department buildings there was no disorder or confusion observa ble, on the contrary, there was a marked f church bells and display of flags at lalf-mast marked Rockland’s testimoni il at the Plumed Knight’s funeral. There vas no closing of stores, nor any at ;empt at draping, yet the sorrow here is ;oo universal and genuine to have its ex stence questioned. Maine News Notes.

HAWAIIAN REVOLUTION. Parting Proclamation by the De throned Queen. ACTION OF OUR NAVAL COM MANDER APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT. General Sentiment In lgFasbington Favors Annexation—President Harrison Said to Hold that Policy—-Growlings of the British Press. Indianapolis, Ind., January 30.—Act. ing Rear Admiral George Brown re turned a week ago from command of the Pacific squadron. He has been much at Honolulu and is thoroughly familiar with the affairs of the islands. Last night, in speaking of the turn of affairs have taken, he said: “Oh, I’m not sur prised that the Queen has been called down from the throne and practically re. tired. She is an obstinate, stubborn woman, ^elf-willed and unpopular, and that this uprising has oome about was not to me unexpected.This act of the peo ple was inevitable. The Constitution of 1887 deprived many of the native Hawaii, ans of the riglitof franchise, and limited tne power oi toe reigning sovereign, me natives have been led to believe that their only security would be a restora tion of the old regime. The Queen has been led into the belief that if she em braced the cause of the Hawaiians she would receive'sufficient support to war rant her in promulgating the new con stitution. Then there is another fact that helped to precipitate matters. The questio.. of annexation has been brewing for some time, but it was understood that the question could not be cons dered so long as a monarchy existed in Hawaii. Hence it was absolutely necessary that the Queen be deposed. “Last, and a very important factor to be considered by the people of Hawaii, was the probable future reign of the Princess Kiluani. She is the niece of the late Kalakaua, and is now being edu cated and fitted for her duties in Eng land as the heir-apparent to the throne. With her English ideas and teachings the people would have had no sympathy, and had not the revolution come now it would have been certain under the rule of the princess.” “Do you believe that annexation will be brought about by the new move?” “No, I do not; nor do I think annexa tion is possible. On the islands are em ployed som 40,000 contract laborers, and this alone would prove an insurmounta ble obstacle, because this state of affairs would be directly contrary to the United States Constitution. I am inclined to the idea that an arrangement will be made by which the islands will come un-1 der our’protection, but not be a part of us. There is not the slightest cause for alarm over the recent overthrow of the government. The uusiness interests are perfectly safe. I know the men who are at the head of the new government, and they are cool-headed and wise.” Sentiment at Washington. Washington. January 30.—Although the course pursued by Minister Stevens in ordering the Boston’s marines on shore was without explicit instructions from his government his action is tfully approved by the President. In an inter view today upon the Hawaiin situation Dr. Mott Smith said he thought a dual protectorate by the United States and (treat Britain would be the natural out come. He remarked: “The Queen and Hawaii are not to be wiped out without a struggle to keep going. The govern ment has been organized over 50 years and has always been able to take care of itself. Dr. Smith does not think England would do anything in a forceful way. In the Senate there is a distinctively American feeling on the Hawaiian ques tion. not confined to anv nartv. A ma jority of the members of the foreign re lations committee look with favor upon the establishment of American domina tion on the islands. Senators Dolpli and Higgins of that committee today declared in favor of annexation. Pending the ar rival of commissioners from Hawaii, the question of annexation or establishment of a protectorate is being discussed by senators in committee and cloak rooms and to a greater extent in executive ses sions. The objection to Mr. Chandler’s resolution on this subject, offered today, is not looked upon as in the way of. anti-annexation feeling. The agreement that the vote on the options bill be tak en at 2 p. m. tomorrow, and shortness of the time intervening chiefly prevented the immediate action. There are some important develop ments in the Hawaiian situation. It is pretty clearly indicated that the admin istration is not in any way lukewarm in 1 the matter, as first supposed. The ac- tion of the commander of the Boston i igainst which Great Britain is about to tile a formal protest, received the official ipproval of the President and Cabinet, rhe sentiment in favor of annexing Hawaii is rapidly extending. Several members of the Cabinet have ixpressed themselves in favor of accept- 1 ng the proposition. The matter will loubtless be considered at the Cabinet 1 neeting tomorrow, though nothi g will je decided upon then except probably to irrange for the reception of the Hawaii m annexation commissioners next Fri lay. 1 It has tbeen reported that President Harrison is in favor of the annexation of i Hawaii. In suppart of this statement is t ;he President’s well known policy of Americanism, whioh has for its object ;he enlargement of the sphere of useful- 1 less and aotivity of this nation. i Senator Chandler’s resolution requests ;he President to lay before Congress any xeaty he may make for ratification by f egislation. The purpose of that lan- i ;uage is to permit the House to shave in 1 lie responsibility for its disposition of l lie subject and not to have action taken 1 n the Senate alone, and behind closed 1 loors. 1 The general sentiment among mem jers of the House seems to be that the United States should annex the Hawaiian Islands. Now it has been invited to do i ,o. There are exceptions to this view. t San Francisco, Cal., January 30.— before the sailing of the Claudine to the 1 United States these proclamations were s nade: “I, Liliuokalani, by grace of God and 1 under the constitution of the Hawaiian kingdom, Queen, do hereby solemnly protest against any and all acts done against myself and the constitutional government of the Hawaiian kingdom by certain persons claiming to have estab lished a provisional government of and for this kingdom. “I yield to the superior force of the United States of America, whose Minis ter Plenipotentiary, His Excellency John L. Stevens, has caused United States troops to be landed at Honolulu, and de clared that he would support the said government. “Now, to avoid any collision of armed forces, and perhaps loss of life, I, under this protest and impelled by said force, yield my avthority until such time as the government of the United States shall, upon the facts being presented to it, undo the act of its representative and reinstate me in the authority which I claim as con stitutional Sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands.” “Done at Honolulu this 17th day of January, A. D. 1893. To S. IS. Bole and others, composing the Provisional Government of the Hawavis: A provisional goverment having been duly constituted in place of the recent government of Qiteen Liliuokalani, and the said provisional government being in full possession of the government build ings, archives and treasures, and in con trol of the capital of the Hawaiian Islands, I hereby recognize said provis ional government as the de facto govern ment of the Hawaiian Islands, John L. Stevens, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary of the United States. On the Pacific Coast. Vallejo, Cal., January 30.—U. S. S, Adams, now at Mare Island navy yard, which received orders to sail for Hono lulu tomorrow, will not be able to on ac count of the time reouired for coaling. She will probably sail Wednesday. The orders are to divide the crew of the coast defence vessel Monterey betwem the Adams and Ranger to give them a full complement. The Ranger will probably get away in a few days. San Fbancisco, January 30.—Rollin M. Daggett, ex-minister to Hawaii, says it is well understood in the British for eign office that there is to be no serious opposition to annexation of the islands to the United States. When Lord Palmer ston was minister of foreign affairs he advised England’s representative at Hono lulu that the contiguity of Hawaii to and its close commercial relations with the United States would ultimately justify closer American relations. The Parisian View. Pabis, January 31.—The Paris dailies taunt England with inconsistency be cause she objects to American aggres sion in Hawaii, while she herself ex. eludes other powers from Egypt. The Moniteur Universel says the great Amer ican people are not of a sort to be intimi dated by British bluster. The British Protest. Washington, January 30.—The Brit ish government has instructed Sir Julian Pauncefote, its minister here to protest against the action of the United States officials and forces in Hawaii. To what extent the protest goes cannot be stated now. The German Press, Beelin, January 30.—The Vossische Zeitung, Radical, says of the revolution in Hawaii: The restoration of the jueen is certainly preferable to tripar tite control of the country. Our experi ence with Samoa by no means recom mends a repetition of such an experi ment. Germany has no reason to med lle further with South Sea affairs. America and Great Britain might better ae left to settle relations as they think proper, Beblin, January 31.—The Berlin press s practically one in the opinion that the Hawa-i revolution concerns England and America alone. Decline to Talk Victobia, B. C., January 30.—Naval luthorities here and at Equimault de fine to state whether they have received my instructions from the home govern ment bearing on the situation at Hono ulu. Views of the English Press. London, January 40.—The question of ;he DroDOsed annexation of Hawaii by ;lie united States continues to be a irominent subject of discussion in polit cal circles and in the newspapers. The Evening Globe, Tory organ, says this af ternoon that the annexation of Hawaii nay result in bringing the United States nto foreign relations that are at vari tnce with the whole of their traditional jolicv, and cause friction and conflict letween them and the colonies. “Amer can aggression in the Pacific,” adds the Ilobe, “would occasion Australian re nonstrance, to which the British govern nent would be compelled to listen. The nternal affairs of Hawaii will settle ;hemselves the sooner, the sooner it is nore clearly understood that they are lot to be made a temptation to the Jnited States to commit a most nncliar icteristic aot of folly. The St. James Gazette, Tory, says that ^resident Harrison’s Cabinet would do veil not to arrive at a hurried decision >n the question of Hawaii. “It must lot be assumed that because the United states have been nursing Hawaii they are >est entitled to effective interference in he affairs of that country. The|American tarty in those islands is by no means so itrong as we are asked to believe.” The Pall Mall Gazette, now also a Tory irgan, is neutral in its remarks on the [uestion of American annexation of lawaii, and suggests that it would be nteresting to see how the Americans vould manage a colony. Will Be a Hot Debate. London, January 30.—The debate on he Queen’s speech will bristle with miendments. Mr. Chamberlain will aise at once the home rule question by ,n amendment denying the advisability if a separate Irish legislature. Mr. jabouchere threatens amendments on he relations of Uganda and the contin ted occupation of Egypt. Unless the louse grows tierce with impatience it pill have some three weeks’ p layer to ;o through with before Mr. Gladstone an get an opportunity of introducing lis home rule bill. Even then the clause eserviner the control of the land ques ion to the Imperial Parliament for a ixed number of years will add further leril to its passage. A Lost Schooner. PitoviDENCE, K.

MEMORIAL ADDRESS BY THE VEN ERABLE EX-SENATOR BRADBURY. Scenes at the Church—The Capital Wrapt in Gloom—Legislature Meets and Im mediately Adjourns-Augusta Asks That the Ashes of Mr. Blaine May Kepose Within Her Borders. Augusta, January 26.—A meeting of citizens during the hours of Mr. Blaine’s funeral, was held at the Congregational church in this oitv. The church was filled, over a thousand being present. On the front altar, whioh was draped with the national colors, was a portrait of Mr. Blaine, with a black, mourning back ground. and hangings relieved by smilax entwined about tne portrait. Mr. Blaine’s family pew was hung with floral emblems, evergreens and white roses. The latter part of the servioe consisted of remarks by Hon. James W. Bradbury, Hon. Orville D. Baker and Hon. H. M. Heath. The remarks of ex-Senator Bradbury were doubly Impressive. He is now 91 years of age, and when he spoke of the nroiro nf IJrATrirlonuo Ulio man nf Mr Blaine’s age, when at the zenith of his possibilities, should be taken and those of advanced age, nearly past their use fulness, should be left, it was very af fecting. Remarks of Ex-Senator Bradbury. Fellow Citizens: Last Friday'morning brought to us the sad intelligence of the death of our distinguished fellow citizen, Mr. Blaine. Such an event could not fail to make a profound impression of sorrow in the hearts of his old friends and neighbors, who had a personal regard for him such as few men can inspire. While others knew him as a public man and liis brilliant political career was familiar to every one throughout the country,we know his extraordinary social powers, his cordial manners and his magnetic qualities that attached to him hosts of friends, who loved him as a man and were proud of him as a citizen. His death left a pall of sorrow over the entire city. Augusta is in mourning. His death deprives us of our most prominent citi zen. Its government and citizens unite in tendering their tribute of deep affection and respect; our church and society feel ingly join in this tribute. It was in this house he was accustomed to worship. By his generous contributions he helped to build it. He united with the church in 1858 and for a third of a century, whether living in this city or out of li, he has given it his generous support. He was always a liberal contributor to sustain public worship, and his benefac tions were not confined to one denomi nation. Almost his last business act be fore leaving the state lor the last time was to send to us his subscription for $1,000 toward the erection of a public li brary. It is a singular and almo it startling co incidence that that the peerless head of the church in intellectual and moral power, and the most brilliant, popular leader have passed away the same week and that the solemn procession of thous ands that returned from the interment of the former were met by the announce ment of the death of the other, both fall ing almost in the prime of life, in the full vigor of manhood, at an age when years of usefulness, distinction and power might have been anticipated. While they so relatively young are taken from us in in the strength of their power, the aged, who, in their feebleness can do so little for the world are sometimes spared. The ways of Providence are mysterious. We cannot comprehend them. A TT_1 TT /-V i infinite in wisdom, as well as goodness. He knows when life’s work here is done and what would befall us should we re main here longer. It is for others to give you the life and distinguished career of Mr. Blaiue, and I retain you with a brief reminiscence of him. I first met him on my return from Washington, soon after he came to Augusta. He was an active, intelligent, self-reliant young man, whose resources were within himself. He found the way to become an editor and soon showed so much ability as a writer, and such tact in making friends, that Augusta started him in his political career by electing him one of her representatives to the state legislature in 1858. He here began to develop his ability as a legislator with so much success that he was three times selected and was made Speaker of the House. In 1862 he was eleoted by this congressional district their representa tive to Congress. He was now in a position to call forth and develop his great abilities and to ac quire permanent national reputation. He soon made himself known and felt as a political power throughout the oountry: and his political friends were so proud of him that they re-elected him until he went into the Senate. For several years he was Speaker of the House, and he filled the chair once filled by Henry Clay. From the Senate, he next filled the first place in the cabinet as Secretary of State.

AT APGDSTA. Continued from First Page. He was one of the three most i istin gutshed popular leaders this country ever produced. Like Cl.ty and Douglass, ho knew how to reach and address the masses and to acquire and retain a won derful hold upon his political associates. As a candidate for the presidency in 1884, he received the full vote of his party, and it was only tire great strength of the ucket and principles of the oppos ing body that prevailed against him. His “Twenty Years in Congress” shows his superior ability as a writer as well as a speaker. 1 have noticed some of liis official correspondence as Secretary of State, and it shows the marked ability of a statesman. By his death our city and state lose their most distinguished citizen and our country one of its most eminent and powerful public men who always kept in touch with the people and had the largest per sonal following amongst them of devoted adherents ready to follow him on all oc casions, who loved him and will ever cherish his memory. Mr. Baker's address was polished anti classical. Mr. Heath’s remarks were confined to the home life of Mr. Blaine, as seen by his friends nml neighbors of this city. Just, before the close, .Joseph A. Ho man, on old neighbor and friend of Mr. Blaine, presented the following resolu tions, which were adopted by a rising vote of the audience: Resolved, That dear as are the name and fame of James G. Blaine in the regard of every American citizen, to us who lovingly mourn him here today, his fellow townsmen and neighbors, they are doubly precious, and the fonaesi desire of our hearts is that here. Where the illustrious work of his life was begun, where his children were born and nurtured, where all the most social associations of his life are centred, and all his joys and sorrows, publie or private, were rejoiced in and sympa thized with; that here, in the city of liis adop tion and love, his mortal remalus should most littinglv find their last resting place. Resolved. That while Yielding respectful ac qni-scence to the wishes ana intentions oi nir. Blaine’s family, should they decide otherwise, this expression of our desire he affectionately communicated to them for consideration by tt)e officers oi this meeting and made a part of its records. The Legislature Adjourns. [Special to the Press.] Augusta, January 30.—The legislature this afternoon took notice of the fact that it was the day of the funeral of the dead statesman and both branches adjourned until tomorrow morning without trans acting any business. Tomorrow, after the introduction of new business, Mr. Peaks will present in the Senate resolu tions on the death of Mr. Blaine, whose picture, draped in black, ban s above the door to the chamber. Mr. Peaks will move the adoption of the resolu tions in a brief speech, and the motion will be seconded by Senators Seiders, Wiggin andSpofi'ordand perhaps others. Then the Senate will adjourn. The exercises in the House will be similar in character. There Hon. Llewellyn Powers of Houlton will move the adoption of the resolutions, and Mr. Morrill of Portland will be among the other speakers. There are evidences of n ourning for the distinguished dead on every hand in this city. Flags fly at half mast on the State House and other public buildings, and black streamers drap the fronts of business blocks. Pictures of Mr. Blaine are in many of the store windows. Up on Slate street, next to the State House, the Blaine mansion, in the midst of the unbroken snow which covers the lawns, and with doors and blinds tightly closed seems to share the general gloom. OBITUARY. Rufus Legrow. Rufus Legrow died at his residence in East Wiudham, January 14, after a lin gering illness. He was the son of the late Joseph and Hannah Legrow, born October 19, 1807, and was the last of a family o'' 11 children. His early years were spent in lumbering and farming.

THE LAST KITES. Continued from Ifirat Page. sentative Boutelle of Maine, Representa tive Hitt of Illinois, Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania, General Tlios. Ewing of Ohio, and John Hay. In the next carriage were Joseph H. Manley of Augusta, Almet F. Jenks and P. Y. T. Ely. Then followed the immediate family of the deceased. In the next carriage were His. John ston and Hyatt, and the distinguished guests followed in regularly assigned or der. Anticipating tremendous pressure for admission to the church, a squad of po lice had been sent there early in the morning to surround the building with a cordon of rope and exclude all not espe cially invited. The decorations at the church were very rich and effective. The space in front of the pulpit, in which the coffin lay, was entirely covered with the floral emblems which accompanied the remains from the house. These were placed in such a way as to heighten the effect of rlie stationary decorations. It was exactly at 12 o’clock when the organ announced the arrival of the funeral party at the door of the church. As the procession moved up the aisle, Mr. Wal ter Bamrosch piayed an improvisation made up of several themes of hymns which Mr. Blaine loved. Ail present rose and remained standing as the funeral pai ty moved down the aisle. Hr. Hamlin, the pastor, walked at the head of the mourners and, holding in his hand an open book containing the ritual of Presbyterian worship, read as he advanced selections from the scrip tures. Behind him came the honorary pall bearers, two abreast, Senators Hale and Frye leading the wav. The body bear ers moved towards the chancel rail where they deposited the casket and the pro fusion of flowers. The family followed the body and took the front seat on the left near the re mains. They knelt with their heads nrmrnf anrl rP.rnainfiH in this at titude for some time. The more distant kinsfolk, relatives, intimate friends, the President and his cabinet and the other members of the funeral party who were at the house, came in after the family and were seated in pews reserved for them. When all were seated Dr. Hamlin, rising in the pulpit, began the church services with the reading of the selec tions from the scriptures. Then reading finished, prayer was offered up by Dr. Hamlin. At the close of the prayer the funeral procession once more formed and the body was conveyed to Oak Hill cemetery and there laid to rest. At the close of Dr. Hamlin’s prayer at Mr. Blaine’s funeral, the Lord’s prayer was repeated by the pastor and part of the cougregation and the benediction in voked. At 12.45 the church services closed and the casket was placed once more in the hearse, all the distingnished con course standing as it was borne from the church. It'was then noted that Mrs. Blaine was not among the mourners, as supposed. Among so many deeply veiled figures her form was not heretofore missed. Prior to the starting of the procession from Lafayette Square, Mrs. Blaine re quested to be left alone for a few min utes with her dead. The parlor was cleared for this purpose. When Mrs. Blaine emerged after five of ten minutes’ silent communion with grief, she made her way, supported on the arms of her son and daughter, Miss Hattie, to the room where her husband died, and there gave way to grief m utter prostration. Mrs. Hale and other friends foliowed her to the death hamber, but their friendly ministrations were of nd avail and Mrs. Blaine was compelled to remain behind. The masses of the people in the vicini ty of the church pressed closer as the stir about the main doorway told them the services were over. The procession was soon moving in the direction of the cemetery, headed by a platoon of police. It moved westward "on N street to 21st street, north to P, crossing Rock Creek into Georgetown. At 28tli and P streets the cortege changed its direction to the north ana went directly to the east gate of the cemetery. A few people gathered along the streets, the windows of the residences were crowded and a great number of those who had been spectators outside the church walked along the pavements on either side of the long line of carriages. On the success ion of terraces in Oak Hill cemetery that border the winding pathway leading to the grave were scores of spectators staudina, some reverential in bearing, others indifferent, all curious. Many pressed forward to pluck a flower from the wreath or column that adorned the dead man’s bier. The police an-i attend ants stunned this. The floral tributes, were so numerous that hve wagons were necessary to convey them to the ceme tery, were arranged artistically back to the grave on a huge strip of canvas. Hud and melting snow were everywhere under foot. Temporary plank walks were placed near the grave. On these the family, friends and official associates of Mr. Blaine stood during the last cere mony. Overhead the sky was hidden by clouds that foreshadowed rain. At one side, near the head of the grave, stands a tall hickory tree, partially decayed. With the exception of Mrs. Blaine, ail of the family and relatives were there. Be hind them stood the President, pall bearers, members of the cabinet, Vice Presidem Morton and many intimate friends and political associates. Dr. Hamlin read the simple burial service of the Presbyteria.. church. This was fol lowed by a brief, extemporaneous 1 Vlien came the benediction,and all that was mortal of James Gillespie Blaine was consigned to earth. The cortege en tered the cemetery at half-past one and the interment was over in ten minutes. Slowly the crowd dispersed. The Presi dent, cabinet, senators, family and others entered carriages and were driven away. James G. Blaine, Junior no longer, stood beside the grave of his father until the masons bricked in the casket and the grave diggers filled in the remaining space. When all this was accomplished he returned home and the last group of spectators dispersed. The desire of friends who attended the services at the church to carry away a memento resulted in complete stripping of the blooms from the pulpit and organ rail, almost before the cortege had fairly begun its march to the cemetery. Mr. Blaine’s Will. The will of Mr. Blaine will be probated at Augusta, Me., his legal residence. Ev erything is left unreservedly to Mrs. Blaine. She is to be sole oxecutrix and not to be required to give bonds. Mr. Blaine’s es tate is estimated at about $800,000, and is composed of improved real estate in Washington and Maine, coal and timber lands in West Virginia and other states and small holdings of per 1 gonal property, Mr. Blaine’s expenses, especially of late years, have been very heavy. Had he devoted his time and energy to the development of his property, the valua tion of his estate would probably have been double what it is. The coal and timber lands are likely to increase in val ue, as the resources are developed. The will was executed several weeks ago, about the time Mr. Blaine was seized with the first serious heart failure. National Memoiial Meeting. Chicago, January 30.—Arrangements arc being made by the Chicago Blaine Club for holding a national Blaine memo rial mass meeting in this city. Invita tions were sent today to all Blaine clubs in the country, asking them to send rep resentatives to a preliminary meeting to be held here next Saturday, for the pur pose of forming a general committeo to arrange for a memorial meeting. LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP. Something About the Goings On At Augusta. [Special to the Press. Augusta, January 30.—Maine Con gregationists will have a bill before the legislature. The measuro will be presented by Representative Wood bury tomorrow. There is no present need for it in this state, but it is in line with legislation elsewhere and the time may come in Maine when there will be opportunity to apply the provisions of such a law. The bill was shown by Judge Walton and has been in charge of a committee of the Cumberland Confer ence. composed of Rev. Win. T. Jordan, Clerence Hale, Esq., W. W. Brown, Esq., and C. A. Woodbury, Esq. The purpose of the bill is to establish a way for the disposition of church property in case where the church organization may become extinct. This is intended to do by authorizing the Con gregational Churoh Building Society of New York to take and dispose of such property, the proceeds arising from such action to be devoted to Congregational church work in Maine. The bill provides that in case of any church organization becoming extinct, a council of churches MAA.vmmanrl fA tllO SllTlTPmP (’'IfUll't, that the Church Building Society be au thorized to take possession of the prop erty and sell it. The coiirt shall then de cide whether or not the church organiza ation has become extinct and may issue its decree authorizing the sale. As pre viously stated, the proceeds must be used for church work in this state. Similar laws are now in force in other states. Some Coming Measures. A petition asking for a charter for the Norway, Waterford and Harrison Elec tric road is here. The petition is said to 20 feet long. From the judiciary committee tomor row there will be favorably reported bills to permit the town of Abbott to raise funds for a soldiers’ monument and changing the Oldtown city charter by abolishing the common council. In order that the Maine exhibit of the denizens of the great forests may be complete, Mr. Sprague of Monson will introduce a bill tomorrow authorizing Mr. R. Gifford o Skowhegan to take one cow, moose and calf. Another bill coming in tomorrow is one to permit town to draw $500 from the state treasury for free high schools instead of $260, the amount now fixed. Senator Shaw will present a medical registration bill, and that much-mooted subject will be again befor j the law makers. Something About Taxation Hearings. It is sometimes hinted outside of news paper offices that occasionally the dra matic critic writes his notices without seeing the shows. Experience tells the critic that one performance is very much like another performance of the same kind and he often grinds out a notice so near the truth that it does not give away the fact that the critic wasn’t there. The taxation committee might adopt a some what similar scheme for get ting at the results of their hearings to various interests. The representatives of these inter, sts make substantially the same speech. It is: “We believe we are now bearing fully our share of taxation. Certainly any increase would be unjust and detrimen tal to our business. Had it not been for the present agitation, we might have come to the legislature to ask a decrease instead of to protest against any in crease.” But tiie reasons wiui wh ch the gentlemen who have so far appeared have backed up the above little speech, are for the most part entitled to careful consideration, and the committee is not likely just yet to adopt the methods of the absentee critics. They will conse quently occupy front row seats at the nerformances. This evening, Benjamin Johnson, Esq., of Boston, and J. A. Moore, Esq., of Thomaston, spoke for the sleeping car companies, or more particularly the Pullman company. They pointed out that the Pullman company is already taxed by the state of Illinois on every car it owns. In order to accommodate the summer travel in Maine the company is compelled to keep in idleness for ten months in the year a large number of cars, and pay for storing them. Besides this, on some lines the cars are now run at a loss, with a view to ultimately building up the business. A high tax rate might cause tie withdrawal of such cars. Then it was argued that the earniugs of these ears, which appeared as part of the re turns of the railroads, were now taxed when the roads were taxed. Mr. John son said that the proposed tax of two per cent on gross earnings was a somewhat startling proposition to him. As he looked at it, it was a heavy burden. To show this he said if a concern received from its business in a year $100,000, a tax of 2 per cent on the gross would he $2,000. But the net earnings might be say $10,000. Consequently in order to pay this tax, one-iifth of the year’s profits would be required. Mr. Johnson also said that he be lieved the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the somewhat celebrated case of Maine vs. the Grand Trunk wonld eventual!, be reversed. He believed that the constitution intended that Congress should regulate inter-state ti affic, but if each state was to have un limited power of taxation it Would virtu ally regulate the traffic itself. Mr. John son believed that this view was becom ing the general o e and with the frequent changes among the members of the Su preme Court might become in time the dictum of that body. No one appeared to talk for the insur ance companies. First Lutheran Church, Those officers have been elected: Moderator—ltev. 1C. O. Storli, ex-offlcio. Clerk—Andrew Magnusen.

POLITICS IN THE PULPIT. A New York Divine Causes a Sensation Among His Hearers Sunday. New Yobk, January 30.—Rev. Robert S. MacArthur in the course of a sermon in the Calvary Baptist church last night, said he believed James G. Blaine was elected President of the United States in 1884. “The Democrats,” Dr. MacArthur said, “had told him they knew the polls at which a sufficient number of ballots had been change to give Cleveland an ap parent majority and also that they knew the men who had done this deed.” Dr. MacArthur’s statements caused a sensation among his congregation. WOMAN’S AUXILIARY. The Increase of the Fund for a New Y. M. C. A. Building—Annual Reports and Election of Officers. The annual meeting of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the Young Men’s Christian Association, was held at the Association rooms yesterday afternoon, the presi dent, Mrs. J. B. Coyle, presiding. The presentation of the annual reports was first in order. The treasurer, Mrs. J. H. Barnes, made the following statement of the resources and expenses of the Auxil ary: RECEIPTS.

Following Mrs. Barntfe, the secretary of the Auxiliary, Mrs. Randall Johnson, gave her annual report. In the course of it she said: Believing as we do that the Y. M. C. A. of Portland can, and should have a nice and convenient building, and that it would not only advance the cause for which we labor, but also be a benefit to the city, we have for a few years devoted a large proportion of our money to that object, thus having been enabled to con tribute $6000 to the building fund. There weie eight regular and six spec ial sessions of the executive committee during the past year, at which the at tendance was good. During the winter a sewing circle was held on the first and third Fridays of each month. These prompted acquaintance and sociability among our members, and the articles made were sold at the fair in October. On March 3d, a “Past and Present Tea” was given at the rooms, and April 7th a reception and tea to the members of the Auxiliary. In May, we were obliged reluctantly and regretfully to accept the resignation of our Secretary, Mrs. F. C. Johnston, who served us so acceptably and faith fully for more than three years. The present secretary was then elected to that office. During the week, beginning October 10th, we held a fair at City Hall, the net receipts of which Were $1,154.17, and on January 10th, 1893, we gave a supper at the rooms of the association, which was a pleasant and remunerative ocoasion. Following these reports, the president of the Auxiliary, Mrs. J. B. Coyle, spoke briefly of the work done during the year past, of the progress towards realization of the new building, and of the attention which should be given to the boys who are to be the young men of the future. The following officers were then elected: President—Mrs. J. B. Coyle. Vice Presidents—Mrs. ,T. H. Webster, Mrs W. 8. Beckett. Mrs. T. F. Homested. Secretary1—Mrs. Randall Johnson. Treasurer—Mrs. J. H. Barnes. A Pleasant Occasion. A large gathering of Mr. John Good ing Jr.’s friends called on him last even ing in order to reciprocate tne pieasant entertainment that he furnished them on his 50th anniversary. During the course of the evening they presented him with a very neat G. A. K. pin in token of the great esteem in which he is held. After which a lunch was served, and with music .and speech making. The compa ny dispersed at a late hour with the hearty wish that Mr. Gooding may see many happy returns of the_day.

THE AGE OF PERICLES. The Rev. Mr. Bellows in Periods of Liter ature Course. Mr. Bellows began his lecture yester day afternoon at the Second Advent churoh by calling attention to the essen" tial modernness of the productions of the great Greek characters, poets and phil osophers as interpreted through the translation of Jowett, Fitzgerald and Frere, reading a passage from the “Birds” of Aristophanes that seemed like an extract from one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s librettos. A selection from Landors “Pericles and Aspasia” that wonderful transcript of Greek life that has all the sanity, the clearness of in telligence and the beauty of old Greek life,grouped together the great names of the age. That Greek temper 'and spirit may possibly find its nearest likeness in the freedom, the quick intelligence and _in our best representatives—the har mony of development of American life. Neither Taine’s “enrivonment” theory nor Carlyle’s “great man” theory fully explains such a period as that of Pericles. It is rather the fortunate union of cir cumstances with the personality of great leaders and thinkers. The character of Pericles was outlined, and taking the general presentation of Plutarch, the speaker drew a comparison between the Athenian leader and our own Lowell and Choate. In discussing the character and influence of Aspasia, the general nature of woman’s mind and her achievements in art, literature and science were spoken of, a passage from Tennyson’s “Prin" cess being read to mane tne true reiLinen Doylies, fringed, pure linen, 40 cents dozen.

At a special meeting of the evangelical ministers of Portland, held yesterday morning at the Y. M. C. A. hall, the fol lowing resolutions relating to the death of Bishop Brooks were unanimously passed: Resolved, That the life and services of Phil lips Brooks are among the most impressive and encouraging of our day, and furnish all Christians and especially Christian ministers with the highest Incentives to untiring activity and more hearty consecration.

No financial panic can disturb the confidence of the public in savings banks whose assets are composed of carefully selected mortgages of real estate within tile limitation of out* statutes: of credits of municipalities and corporations of this state; ol first mortgage bonds of railroads wnlch earn and pay regular cash dividends upon tneir stock; and bonds of such cities as Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis, which not only have high credit throughout this country, but whose securities are bought and sold on the exchanges of London and Amsterdam. This is from the report of the Maine bank examiner in 1886, and is quoted by the Evening Express as tending to justi fy the savings bank law now pending in the legislature. Yet the very securities which aie most highly recommended here as convertible not only in this country but also in London and Amster dam are discriminated against by this bill to the amount of one-half of one per cent. That is to say if a Maine savings bank buys a Boston or Cincinnati bond it is to be taxed one per cent upon it. If ho we ver a Maine savings bank buys a bond of the town of Wiscasset it is to be taxed but a half of one per cent. And yet the promoters of the bill say that it will tend to encourage savings banks to buy gilt edged securities. ONE TENDENCY OK THE SAVINGS BANK BILL. In the course of a discussion of the savings bank bill now before the legisla ture the Pbess has shown that neither of the two principal benefits claimed by its friends is likely to follow. We have shown that safety and convertibili bility, the two first essentiala of a saving bank investment, would not be promoted by it, inasmuch as experience has shown 4-Unf laerl enonvitioa in MdinO Cl C well as good ones, and that without the temptation which this bill affords Maine savings banks have frequently suffered loss from investments in this state. We have pointed out that the only savings bank which has failed in this state for many years had $4 invested in and loaned upon Maine securities to one loaned upon or invested in the se. curities of other states. We have shown also that such a policy as is proposed in the pendinglbill would not help Maine, because all the home enterprises which the savings banks could assist without violating their moral obligations to do positors are such as need no assistance. We want now to call attention to a dan gerous tendency of this bill. Under the construction put upon the National banking law by the comptroller of the currency any National bank is per mitted to establish a savings bank de partment. The functions of the savings bank departments are precisely like those of our State savings bank—that is they receive deposits and in vest them for the depositors. But while they may exercise all the powers of state savings banks, they are under none of the restrictions which appertain to these institutions. The investments and loans of our savings banks are restricted both in their character and their locality. The trustees are compelled by law to keep and maintain a reserve fund. If the managers transgress the law they are liable to be enjoined by the courts, and their charter may be taken away from them. Twice a year these banks are examined by an officer of the State, and all their investments and loans exposed to public view in the newspapers. The savings departments of National banks are under none of these restrictions. They may invest in almost any kind of security and in any amount that they see fit. They are not confined to Maine, or New England, or any part of the country. Tney may buy the bonds or stock of any railroad, no matter whether it is divi dend paying or not. They may invest in the bonds or stock of any corporation under the sun without restriction of law. The State has no supervision over them in the least degree. The character of their investments and loans is never made known to the public. And the tax laws of the State are not applicable to them. They are dangerous rivals to our savings banks, and any legislation which tends to encourage them is against sound pu lie policy. In Massachusetts the danger from these savings bank depart ments of national banks has become so serious and threatening that the savings banks commissioners have dwelt upon it at length. In ilieir report for 1801 the commissioners say: The system [of State savings banks] so thoroughly established, which has proved not only of great financial aid in Its accumulations, but very beneficial as aa educator, and a syste m as near safe as can be established, seems now, by a ‘movement recently made, to be seri ously endangered from two directions: First, by National banks opening a sav ings department; pecond, by some of the trust companies, incorporated by our own legislature, entering upon a similar business. The attempt on the part of any national bank in this commonwealth to establish as a part of its business a saving bank department must be looked upon as usurping a right and privilege belonging to the commonwealth, a right strengthened by moral obligation and power, if not by law. The success of our sayings banks' should not be reck lessly interfered with nor interrupted by a system which thoug.i good in itself as a commercial and banking system, is not adapted to a savings bank system and has none of the safeguards that are thrown around our savings banks in regard to its invest ments. A system founded and estab lished by our commonwealth, or by any state government, ought not to be lightly treated by the the powers and privileges granted by a federal charter.

The establishment of savings bank de partments by national banks is fraught with danger, and it is directly in opposi tion to the principles of savings banks. A savings bank of our commonwealth is limited in investments in kind, in amount proportion and character, and very prop erly so; a savings bank carried on by a national bank working under a federal charter is virtually unlimited. This year the commissioners reiterate ♦•ltolv ttiotvc nirnri mAm etv/anrrlv Now the tendency of the bill pending before the legislature is to invite the dan ger which has become so serious iu the neighboring state of Massachusetts. Na tional banks with savings departments already exist in this state. Pass this bill and in all probability the savings depart ment will be added to a great many more of them. We are not disposed to ascribe to the originators of this bill any pur. poses except what they avow, namely, the booming of the state and the strengthening of the banks, investments, but we are constrained to say that they have hit—accidentally—upon a scheme which will I e ten times as efficacious to build up rivals to our savings institu tions as to accomplish either of the purposes which they confess. It needs no argument to show that a bank whose field of investment is un limited can pay bigger dividends than one that is under restrictions. The latter is compelled to consider safety first and as paramount to every other con sideration, in the investment of its money. The fdrmer may pay more at tention to profit. Without incurring any greater risks than private persons fre quently take in the investment of their own property the savings banks could pay a higher rate of interest. The law will not permit them to take those risks. But the savings bank de partments of National banks are under no restraint of law, and therefore they will frequently be able by assuming greater risks,— and yet coming short of Imperilling the funds of the depositors— get greater interest. Under the existing law the savings banks are at a consider able disadvantage as compared with *he national banks, but under the proposed law they will be at a still greater disad vantage. The national banks also have a great advantage in the way of taxation, for certainly the State cannot tax the franchise of a national bank under which the savings bank denartment of the national banks will operate. It would seem to be obvious that with all these advantages the national banks will be able to offer the depositors in their savings bank depart ments a higher rate of interest than the the State savings banks can. How ev erybody knows that a high or a higher rate of interest is a powerful inducement especially to people o,f small accumula tions. Panicky as small depositors are when anything happens to a bank in which their funds are placed, they are always the first people to be attracted by the promise of high interest. This attraction, if the pending bill becomes a law, any national bank which sees fit to establish a savings department will be able to offer, and if the same danger which is now threatening the savings in stitutions of Massachusetts does not soon make itself manifest, then human nature is very different in Maine from human nature in the Bay State. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put togel her, aud until the last few years was supposed to be incmable.

MUSIC AND DRAMA. The Soudan. The great melo-dramatic spectacle of '‘The Soudan” which ran for an entire season at the Boston theatre, received its first production in Portland at the theatre last evening. This is the story of the play in brief. Captain Temple, an Eng lish officer on service in the Soudan, is separated from his loving wife ny the machination of the usual foreign villain, a designing solicitor, and a jealous woman. The wife is left in England with her young son; the husband goes to the Soudan and leads a forlorn hope against the Arabs. That his fight is suc cessful it is needless to say. In the mean time the child is stolen from the wife by the designing solicitor, she follows, re covers and escapes with it. Soon after wards Capt. Temple encounters in the desert of Sahara, the foreign villain who had allied himself to the Arabs. In the hand to hand fight that follows, the sche mer acknowledges the wife’s innocence and vile plots that have involved her. Capt. Temple, now a major, rushes home in triumph to forgiveness and his wife’s arms. In the progress of the drama there are many beautiful scenes presented, but the two that start out with vivid realism are the taking of of Tel-el-Kibir by the Eng lish, and the return of the troops from the Soudan marching through Trafalgar Square. In the latter scene the red coated British regiments, headed by their bands, their officers mounted, pass through the Square, which is gaylv dec orated with bunting, amidst the cheers of the London populace, while in the former the audience cheered as the troops came swarming over the walls, shooting down the Arabs in their onslaught. The scenes are almost all of them brought by the company and fitted to the stage, while the calcium light effects are ex cellent. The acting was excellent. Mr. Herne (who made so many friends on Peaks Island in the Summer theatre at that watering place) was welcomed with hearty applause aud presented a large bouquet. He took the role of Capt. Temple to the great acceptance of the audience. His scene with Paul de Vigne —Mr. Alx Kenney—in the desert was a strong piece of acting on the part of both gentlemen. Mr. Horace Lewis was good in the solicitor Hauker. Master Walter Lewis,as Dick, the foundling, was remarkably good. It was the best bit of juvenile character acting that has been seen on these boards since Little Lord Fauntleroy. He was e thusiastically called before the curtain. Charles Jack son was very amusing as Spofkins the clerk and was well seconded by Miss Portia Albee as Maggie. Miss Annie Mayo was effective as Nellie Temple and Miss Lockhart pleased as Cora Gray. Little Miss Allie Hurst was quite winning as Frank, Temple’s child. The other characters were well taken. Go tonight or Wednesday and see the play. Tlie Operator. “The Operator” to be seen at Portland theatre Thursday evening, is a cleverly drawn piece, abounding in startling dra matic situations and replete with humor, and it has a peculiar mission, as it will introduce for the first time on the Amer ican stage twin stars Willard and Wil liam Newell. The twin brothers are so much alike that they continually keep their most intimate friends guessing which is which. And as the plot of the play is based upon the perfect resem blance of the two leading parts, it will certanly offer a striking novelty, They have been surrounded by a company of actors of recognized ability, and promise to stage the play magnificently. The effects to be introduced will consist of a full-rigged steamship in practical work ing order in a storm, striking a rock, she foes to pieces. Another great effect will e a depot and telegraph office in full view of the audience, during which time the limited exprrss crosses the stage at the speed of sixty miles an hour.

Peters, supported by Mi s Grace Cummings and a company of clever people, will be seen at Portland theatre Friday and Saturday in “The Old Soldier.” Mr. Peters was the original “old soldier” in Muggs’ Landing, who amused our theatre goers so much. The successful career of Muggs’ Landing was due very much’ if not wholly to the cleverness of Mr. Peters. The Hayden Quartette Concert. The concert given in the Church of the Messiah course last evening by the Hayden quartette drew a good audience and was a delightful entertainment. Not only were the quartette in flue voice but the solos of the various members were admirably given and there were many encores. Not 08, Philip Heale says Mr. Paderewski was not in his happiest vein at the Boston Symphony concert. His performance of the nocturne was mannered and artificial; it was without poetic feeling; it was al most wholly devoid of the marvelous pedal coloring which seems peculiar to nim. Nor was his playing of the waltz as frank as on former occasions. A pure cream of tartar powder. Used in the U. S. Army and by teachers of Cookery. Cleveland’s is the standard, it never varies, it does the most work, the best work and is perfectly wholesome,— CITY GOVERNMENT. Mr. Washington Libby Proposes to Treat the Town to a Grand Moving—Other Public Matters. The main business of the special meet ing of the mayor and aldermen yester day afternoon was listening to Mr. Wash ington Libby, who proposes in about a week to have an old fashioned hauling of a building. A large two story building, (22x 35 feet) is to be moved from West Commercial street, opposite Park street to Libby Corner, by way of Centre, Dan forth and Congress streets. Mr. Libby will put great shoes under the building, and then will call in the oxen from all the country around. There will be from sixty to a hundred yoke of oxen; and when the drivers swing their goads, and the building begins to move, the specta cle will be worth viewing. The city gov ernment has granted Mr. Libby’s peti tion with the proviso that he get the building moved in one day. The committee on new wooden build ings gi ve P. J. Patterson leave to with, draw his petition to erect a new wood en building in the rear of 711 .Congress street. Permission was granted to E. C. Rich ards to erect three two and one-lialf story dwellings, one No. 9 Moody street, a second at No. 77 Morning street and a third at No. 13 Moody street.

The end of the first session of the Y. M. C, A. mock congress came in due course of time last evening and was duly celebrated at the association rooms by a bountiful banquet, partaken of by about 30 members and several invited guests. After the inner man was abundantly satisfied General Secretary McDonald rapped to order and introduced Mr. Pitt F. Parker as toastmaster. After brief remarks, Mr. Parker intro" duced Rev. Matt S. Hughes, who spoke briefly and pointedly on the value of par liamentary education. He was followed by Mr. Wm. H. Looney, the speaker of the congress, who follewed in the same vein as Mr. Hughes. He was followed by Mr. Howard E. Soule and General Secretary McDonald. Later in the evening a number of young ladies came in from the Chestnut street church and an enjoyable sociable oc” curred. One feature of the entertainment was a mock trial. Mr. McDonald acted as judge, while Tom Somers was the culprit. Mr. Choate was prosecuting attorney and C. E. Gurney attorney for the defence. Pitt F. Parker was foreman of the jury and A. E. Norton sheriff. The Remnant Sale. Today is the last day of the great Bale of remnants and odd lots of J. R.

A SPARK KINDLES THE GREATEST OF CONFLAGRATIONS. So from Small Beginnings Come Insanity and Paralysis. How little people realize that neglect is fatal! They do not understand that head ache, loss of memory, confused mind, mental depression, dull, dizzy and bad feeling head, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, with tired and unrefreshed waking mornings, poor appetite, weak ness with tired, numb, trembling or cold limbs and feeling of nervous and physical exhaustion are the sure forerunners of insanity or paralysis. I was weak and nervous,” said Miss Pauline Roe. who resides at 806 Seventh Ave., New York City, “and finally bad a stroke of paralysis. The suffering I en dured was unbearable. My speech was impaired, my mouth drawn to one side and the pains in my head were madden ing. MISS PAULINE ROE. rtI used Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Before I had used one bot tle I felt a marked improvement, and now I feel myself well again. I recomend all troubled with nervous complaints or any similar affliction to use this really won derful medicine.” The well known John S. Doremus, Esq., of 284 Ellison St.,Patterson, N. J., says: I shall be ready at any and all times to testify to the remarkable restoration to health of Miss Pauline Roe, and the won derful effects of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy.” Mrs. James J. Guernsey of 41 Myrtle St., Albany, N. Y., states: “I got so very weak and numb I could hardly stand on my feet, at times could not raise my foot from the floor. My whole right Mde was almost uselese. Then MRS. JAMES J. GUERNSEY. I saw an advertisement in the papers of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I sent for a bottle and before I had taken halt of it I was certain it was helping me. Have taken five bottles and can truly say that the good, wonderful medicine, Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood aml'nerve remedy has cured me and I owe my life to it.” Use this remarkable medicine when you feel the first symptoms coming on and you can be absolutely certain of a cure. It is always best to prevent the actual stroke of paralysis or insanity,' and this great remedy will certainly ward it off. The remedy is purely vegetable and harmless and druggists keep it for $1. It is the prescription aud discovery of Dr, Greene, 34 Temple Place, Boston, Mass., the successful specialist in cur ing nervous and chronic diseases, and he can be consulted free, personally or by letter.

TO-DAY will be given over to clearing out the tag ends of everything left from last week’s great clearance sale, and to morrow the store will be closed for stock taking. In many instances these few remnant lots, which were not entirely sold out last week, have been still further reduced in price, as we prefer to lose mon ey on them now rather than put them on .the in ventory books. For instance the Up holstery fringes; they’re already cut to a small pro portion of the real value but the remnants are dragging a bit so we’ll halve the price again for today. One tablefull of odds and ends in the bric-a-brac section is to be closed out at half the marked prices. What’s left of the boys’ Collars go at 25 cents a half dozen and that’s much less than the worth of the material from which they’re made. A few dozen of striped Hosiery “women’s” are left, today should see the last of them. There’ll never be a chance for getting good Underclothing for so lit. tie money again. The mark down lot is most, ly trimmed with Nun’s work embnrdery,—hand done—and this at regular prices is so expensive that we have found it'unprofit ab e to carry in stock, so we’re going out of keep ing it. The prices are cut way down. A lot of fancy colored bordered and white Hand kerchiefs are to go today at 3 for 25 cents. The Lace nets for overdresses will be con tinued at 12 i-2c till they are sold. A few Children’s Cloaks are .yet unsold; they are marked down way below value, but we’ll take even less to be rid of them quickly. Same way with the re maiiider of the Baby’s White Dresses. The lot of Misses’ silk Stockings, fancy colors, which have been marked down to 50c. a pair, will be finished today at 25c. One of the greatest bar gains of the whole offer ing is the lot of Men’s heavy U nderwear. The fact that the season is late should not deter you from taking advantage of such a sacrifice, it is a good in vestment for next season’s needs. It’s only because they are in extreme ‘’large and small” sizes only that we have marked a lot of $1.35 Gloves down to 89c. If your number is in the lot the saving is an apprecia ble one. Men’s fur top Gloves, first rate for driving, at $1.25, have been 82 and #2.25. A few Royal Worces OWEN, MOORE CO. ter satin Corsets marked down from $4 to 2, are still left,—broken sizes is the reason for halving the cost. There are many other bargains scattered around the store, and they are every one worthy of your careful attention. OWEN, MOORE CO. LEGISLATIVE NOTICES. STATE OF MAINE.

oUrTmSgeel look Out for (lie Spring of 1S93! FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED. The Hatcheries of Cholera, and AVhat Is To Be Seen There—If the Disease Breaks Out in New York Where Will It End? There are few things which have never come to pass which seem surer of com ing than Cholera this spring. Three well known physicians, one in Boston, two in New York, have said this. A re cent despatch from Hamburg in the daily papers says: “It is feared that the seeds of death sowed last summer will yield a fruitful harvest in the spring.” There is no dodging this dr ad disease in the spring and summer of 1893. The country is ripe for it. Our lax immigration laws will he wholly responsible for the death rate through Cholera during 1893. For years the United States has been Europe’s sewer. All the scum of her human tides have been skimmed off and ladled to our shores. Austria, Bavaria, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Italy, China, these and many other foreign countries send the rag-tag and bob-tail, the vicious, the depraved, the vile, the diseased, and the utterly lost, to our shores. This they have been doing for years with the utmost impuni ty. As a famous New York physician re nentiv remarked to the writer. “How can we escape cnoiera next year? Of course, it won’t break out up on 5th Avenue, but it will eventually reach there, and all over the land. It will break out over on Forsyth, and Di vision, and Hester streets, and the Bowery, and Cherry Hill, and the Five Points, and Rosevelt street. Those ponts are points of dirt and vermin. That is where Cholera in this country will break out. God knows where it will end.” This is an awful but a timely warning. Cholera is deadly, that we know. The way to escape the frightful visita tion is to be prepared for it. Get your house—that is your body—in perfect order. Purifv your system. Cleanse and enrich your blood. Remember that the Boston Globe said editoriallv: “Contageous diseases seldom attack perfectly healthy people. Persons whose vitality is low and whose general health is impaired, are the first to fall preys to epidemics. Dr. John B. Bray of Bridgton, in re sponse to inquiry, said: “Certainly, people should now look sharply after their health. If Cholera reaches our shores everyone should be prepared physically, so far as possible,to withstand it. We should put our bod ies in good condition, as well as our premises. If the blood is foul, the liver clogged, and the stomach out of order, such a person is far more likely to be among the first victims than others in good health.” He also indorses, as the ideal remedy for purifying the blood and arousing vi tality, KING’S SARSAPARILLA. It is the ounce of prevention that most concerns the people now, and it is cer tainly sensible advice that recommends us to put our bodies in good order as well as our dwelling places. KING’S SARSA PARILLA is skill fully combined by a chemist of long ex perience in the se lection and prepara tion of drugs, and can be implicitly re lied upon as the most valuable prep aration of the kind on the market. Price per bottle 75 cents, and every bot- trade mark. tie is sold with the positive guarantee to refund the price if it fails to benefit.

Maine Should Have a State Flower. To the Editor of the Press: That Maine has no state flower is a fact not new to you, of course. About a year ago I wrote to Superintendent Luce on the subject, and he favored the choos ing of a flower. So much so that the subject was taken up at our “York County Teachers’ Convention,” a paper read and a vote taken, resulting in a ma jority choice for the May flower. Since then the matter has rested. Other states, however, are making their decis ions. Iowa not long ago made her choice—the rose—all the school children voting. Surely Maine ought not to be behind in any matter that will add to her position among the other states. The press has always been most influential in pushing work of this kind, and after some deliberation I decided to bring the subject to the notice of the editor of the Press. The children should have a voice in this; they should have an intense interest in everything pertaining to our good old Commonwealth. Can not this matter be brought before the people of Maine through the columns of your paper? Several plans present themselves, but an editor is wiser than I. Will you pardon this intrusion for the sake of the cause. Yours trulv, Coba B. Bickford, 21 Birch Street, Biddeford, Me. Portland Manufacturers in the South.

The mixture of snow, sleet, rain anti “friz” of Sunday put Portland street in line condition for fast sleigh riding, and there was a big turn out of fast horses and lookers on in the beautiful winter weather of yesterday afternoon. Among the new horses there was Glen arm colt Glendale, bred and driven by Mr. Richards of Falmouth, a youngster that made a record of 2.41 at Cumberland last fall, nearly distancing the field, and by some mishap was distanced himself in the next heat. John F. Barrett’s stylish bay gelding, Sir Julian of Deer ing; Charles E. Haskell’s bay pacer, C. E. H., and numerous colts. In the ranks 'of the well known Avers were Farmer Boy, Mary Ann, Thorn bury, Hot M., Oakdale Dot, Dick Lam bert, Lon Moor, pacer, John Randall’s trotter, City Marshal, and many other good ones. The principal fun was in several heats between Dr. Chase’s farmer Boy, driven by Ira Woodburv.' and Ernest E. Cross’ Mary Ann, handled by her owner. Mary was in rare trim, trotting very steady and fast and the same was true of the Farm, er Boy. They made close and exciting sport and both sides claimed the victory. It would be hard to decide, for first one horse and then the other would be in the lead at the finish. There was quite a large crowd skat ing on the pond in Deering’s Oaks and the ice is in very good condition. on the Back Bay ice track, the prefer ence being for Portland street, with its single track, heavy teams and hazard of collission. The city has prepared a good double course ice track on Back Bay and all this week the tide so serves that the ice rests solidly upon the flats during the afternoon. No accident has ever occurred there and they have not been uncommon on Portland street. PRIVATE TO MEN ONLY. Something: Which Will Deeply Interest Young: and Middle-Ag:ed Men. The free private lecture to men only announced to be gieen by the well-known Dr. Greene of 84 Temple Place, Boston, in City Hall, Tuesday evening, January 31st, at S o’clock, will attract an immense audience of men, for the lecture will be completely and accurately illustrated by dissolving views, and the subjects dis cussed and explained are upon those vital points of a private nature which all men should, but too often do not understand. Admission is free to all parts of the house, and no man should miss it. BRIEF JOTTINGS. The Indurated Fibre Company has de clared a dividend of 11 per cent. Yesterday was a beautiful day. The sun, shining on the ice-laden trees, made a magnificent spectacle. Warden Cushman seized a barrel con taining 180 short lobsters at the steamer Phantom’s landing yesterday. The Chautauqua Circle will meet with Mrs. Baker, Sumner court, on Wednes day evening, instead of this evening. Those who are interested will please note the change. The comrades of Bosworth Post are requested to attend the funeral of their late comrade, George H. Abbott, at liis late residence, No. 33 State street, at 2.30 p. m. today. During the excitement at the fire on St John street, Sunday, a daughter of Charles A. Kankin, of 249 St. John street was pushed down a flight of steps, a dozen or more in number, striking on her head. She was quite badly hurt. By a typographical error in yesterday’s Press we were made to say that if the law proposed by Judge Gould for recti fying seized liquors had been in force the iast ten years, when the ten should have read two years. Yesterday the Atkinson Company were deluged with requests for their new fire department calenders, described in yesterday’s Press. They were adver tised to be given in exchange for a cou pon printed in a Sunday paper, and all flnv Inner a stream of people presented the coupons at the store. At the morning service at the First Parish church Sunday, Rev. Mr. Perkins announced that the hymn books at pres ent used in the church were to be retired in a short time, being replaced by the “Universal Church Hymn Book.” The old hymn books have been used for six ty-one years. Unlawful Fish-hooks. The late Judge Virgin was very fond of fishing, and no disciple of Izaak Wal ton could show greater patience in wait ing for a bite than he. At the same time he appreciated all the modern appliances in the way of hooks and tackle. There is a law in Maine against using trolling spoons in certain lakes at certain times of the year, aud unfortunately that closed season used to come at just the time the Judge used to like to take a trip up to the pond's about Fryeburg to “try his luck.” One of the storekeep ers there tells with glee how the Judge, on such occasions, used to come into his place and ask with solemnity, “Have you any of those unlawful fish hooks?” The merchant would confess that he did have some. “Well, then,” the Judge would add, “give me three.” John Kinsman Arrested. Yesterday afternoon John Kinsman, a man about fifty years of age, was ar rested and taken to the police station on (complaint that he had been caught steal ■V articles from the Ainsworth curiosity stoij <)n the corner of Middle and Union street He had been taking tools, which he is supposed to have disposed of.

The crime for which the Lynn po lice arrested Kerb was the robbery of a Catholic church in Lynn. Dennison is suspected of being implicated in the af fair. The thieves stole over $1000 worth of sacred vessels and altar paraphernalia including one vessel valued at $800, a present from Miss Carney of Boston, of Carney Hospital fame.

Clifford Blackman A Boston Boy’s Eyesight Saved—Perhaps His Life By Hood’s Sarsaparilla—Blood Poi soned by Canker. Head the following from a grateful mother: My little boy had Scarlet Fever when 4 years old, and it left him very weak and with blood poisoned with canker. His eyes became so inflamed that his sufferings were Intense, and for seven weeks he Could Not Open His Eyes. I took him twice during that time to the Eya and Ear Infirmary on Charles street, hut their remedies failed to do him the faintest shadow of good. I commenced giving him Hood’s Sarsaparilla and it soon cured him. I have never doubted that it saved bis sight, even if not his very life. You may use this tes timonial in any way you choose. I am always ready to sound the praise of Hood’s Sarsaparilla because of the wonderful good it did my son.” Abbie F. Blackman, 2888 Washington St, Boston, Mass. Get HOOD’S.
