The Vessel Ordered to Prepare at Once t go to Smyrna—She is Expected to Stai by Nor. 25—The Fastest Vessel in On Navy Will Make a Quick Voyage. Washington, November 20.—As a resul of the consideration of the Turkish sitt ation at yesterday’s Cabinet meeting the cruiser Minneapolis was today ordei ed to take coal aDd other stores withou delay and sail for Smyrna, Asia Minoi Her duty will he to assist the flagshi San Francisco and the cruiser Marblehea in protecting the interests of th American missionaries and other citizen of the United States. It was statec authoritatively today, that thore wor no new developments in the Armenia] situation involving this government, bu owing to the general aspect of tho preson status of affairs it was deemed best ti despatch another United States wa: V0S301. The action of the administration witl regard to the Minneapolis, brought abou through numerous appeals froiu the mis sionary organizations and prominent per sons in this oountry to inorease the Unit ed States naval force on the coast of Ask At:_ Scores of letters have been received bj the State Department representing the lives and property of American mission aries to be in jeopardy. The last few days witnessed a large inorease in those communications. The commander oi the Minneapolis is Captain G. H. Wad leigh, and the vessel is at Norfolk, where she will take six hundred tons of coal on board tonight and proceed to Hamp ton Roads to seoure nine hundred addit ional tons, necessary to fill her bunkers. With this amount of fuel the Minne apolis would be able to proceed direct to Smyrna, without stopping, but will break the voyage at Gibralta, to replen ish stores. The Minneapolis is the fast est vessel in the navy. It is expected at the Navy Department she will bo ready to sail from Hampton Roads for Gibral ta by November 25. It is likely that the time consumed by the voyage will be nearly three weeks. In addition to the officers, the Minneap olis will carry four hundred blue jackets and four hunderd and twelve marines. It is understood that Smyrna is selected as the destination because it is the best place for the missionaries to gather in the event of danger to their lives. PATHETIC DIGNITY Comments on the Sultan’s Letter by the Loudon Press. London, November 20.—The Post, com menting on the Sultan’s letter to Lord Salisbury, says: “Nobody, who considers eastern politics with calm,unbiased judg ment, will fail to be struck by the pathe tic diguity and frank earnestness of the Sultan’s message.’’ The Telegraph says: “If words could euro the reign of terror, the Sultan’s would bo received with deep relelf and cordial congratulations throughout Eu rope.” The Standard says: “There is a pa thetic significance in the Sultan’s com bined protest and undertaking, that can not fail to win the respectful sympathy of Englishmen, but if Abdul Hamid had an intelligent grasp of the situation, he would know that what is neeeded is a stornuous exercise of individual control. If he bad effectively desired to pave the way for reforms to be executed by his ministers, he would long ago have sur rounded himself with a cabinet of a whol ly different typo from the one now hold ing office.” __4 THcnflmiunL. London, November 30.—The Constan tinople correspondent of„the Times, tele graphs that a remarkable amount of sensational news is current, and that it is impossible to sift the grain from the ohall. The disoorder and bloodshed in the provinces are not ended. Many persons who are accepted as authorities maintain that the measures for the restoration of order, like the reforms, came too late. The Are of frenzied excitement produced by, Christian and Mohammedan agita tors can only bo quenohed in a sea^of blood. Shakier Pasha, the imperial commis sioner to supervise the Armenian re forms, telegraphs from Erzeroum that Hussion Pasha, the Kurdish chieftain who was an officer in the Hamidion cavalry, will be tried by a oourt martial for raiding the Armenian villages near Bitlis.

Two Suspicious Men Seen in Woolwich. tSPECIAL TO THE PKESS.J Woolwich, November 20—Referring to the burglary at Phipsburg, described in today’s PRESS, perhaps the following may give a olue to the direction the men traveled. At about 8 o’clock a. m., two men appeared in this town at Hilton’s stable and at first wished to hire a team for Nequasset, about two miles distant. Finally they concluded to be carried to Richmond ferry, some fifteen miles, as the proprietor preferred having a driver D w*th the te am. They paid their bills t and as one had no overcoat Mr. Farnharo furnished one for the trip. After riding a fow miles, they mentioned that they had not been to breakfast and wished to stop at some farm house. The driver, t who is generally very humane, declined to stop, as they evidently had whiskey enough ts sustain them to the journey’s end. If these were the men, they would have proved easy game on the road. THE CORONER’S INQUEST. Over the Victims of the Railroad Wreck at Rome. 3 Rome, N. Y.. November 20.—At the 3 coroner’s inquest today over tho bodies of Engineer Hager, Albany and Bond, t Syraouse, killed in the railroad wreck here, there was no important testimony except by Miss Celia Perrin, a yonng lady with whom H ildreth, the leader of tho gang of boy wreckers was very friendly.

Hildreth told Miss Porrin that they turned the rails that were loosened so the train would go into a ditch. The coroners’ inquest adjourned until this evening. Four boys charged with committing crime, have all confessed except Bristol, who refuses to say anything. The evi d, no9 ofjothers implicates him and makes him and Hildreth, leaders A the gang.

THERE TYERE BUT FORT A INSUR GENTS IN ALL. They Went on the Danish Steamer “Horsa” “Two Men Who Secured Release as American Citizens Trove to he Promi nent Enemies of Spain, Washington, November 3.— Official in formation received here, represents the strength of the late Cuban filibustering expedition, which sailed from this country on the Danish steamer Horsa, as exaggerated in the published reports. There were but 40 insurgents, 20 oi whom embarked in Now York. The New York men lett a Cuban mass meet ing and went on board a tug which had no lights burning, which had sheets of white canvas pasted over her name. The tug carriod the passengers to a point of Cape Barnegat wliero they were tak en on board Jthe Horsa, which waited them there. The Horsa had carried an equal number of insurgents who had gone aboard at Philadelphia, and the fact developed today that two of the leaders of the Horsa expedition, Fran olsoo Carrillo and Jose Maria Aguirree, are naturalized citizens. They were ar rested in Havana at the outbreak of the rebellion, but were released at the re quest of American Consul General Will lama They claimed then to have no connection with the rebellion, and their release was granted because of their of their American citizenship. It is stated today t hat they were then in active sympathy with the rebellion and that they had allied themselves with, enemies of the Spanish government. A strong denial is given today to the statement that this expedition had its origin in Canada, or that any of its members started from that country. The entire affair was planned in New York. It Is also denied that the insur gents oarried with them auy consider able number of arms.

SETTLERS MADE HOMELESS. Western Land That Goes to the Wisconsin Central Railway. Ashland, Wis., November 20.—One hundred and twenty settllers south of Ashland, are, by a decision received from the general land office, made homeless. Their claims, 20,000 acres of land, with every quarter section containing a house and barn, will be taken away form them by the government and given to the Wisconsin Railway Company. This deoision is carrying out the ruling of the supreme court in the King-Os bourn case. Under, this ruling certain lands throughout this region which are supposed to belong to the government and which have been opened for settlement and taken up by scores of setters are held by the supreme court to rightfully belong to the Wisconsin Central Com pany. Now the government is obliged to cancel all the entries on these lands in order to give the railroad company titles. The King of Ashantee Won’t Tight. London, November 20.—Tlio Daily News says that Lord suffield and Mr. Sutherst, as intermediarie on behalf of the Ashantee envoys, whom the govern ment has declined to receive, yesterday visited Mr. Chamberlain and the colon ial seoretary and undertook that the British demand relative to having a resi dent at Coomassie and tho other demands contained in the ultimatum to King Prompen shall be sntislied.

The West Oxford Association Holds Its Annual Meeting. fSFECIAL TO THE PRESS.] Keazar Fa 11s, November 20.—The West Oxford Educational Society held its anual meeting at this place November 18tl; and 19th. The programme, which was a long one, was carried out in the main, was a credit to the president of the association, A. H. Mason. After a little musio by the M. E. ohurch choir, devotional exercises by Rev. G. T. Red ion consisted of reading a selection from the Bible and a few remarks. The reading of the records of the last meeting by Miss Hattie Abbott of Frye burg was then read. The first paper, “Why do teachers neet teachers’ meetings,” b.y Byron Lord.

King, pastor of the M. E. church said they spent more than an hour in trying to convince tho people listening that the views advocated by them were correct. The paper on “Penmanship,” by Prof. O. A. Morton, principal of the Brownfield High Sohool, was ably dis cussed by its author, who is a grand writer and more than an excellent teach er. Mr. Morton a vocated his views, and other school teachers tried to advocate sorno other inothod, but it was of no avail. H. W. Stetson received wotd that he must come to Augusta the next morning without fail, so the teachers put them selves at work to fill the vacancy he would cause. I will notify him whether they wore successful or not. If he had staid he could not help saying that it was the best meeting hold in the state this fall. Tho next paper was missing, me author being sick, and Mr. F. A. Fox was call ed upon to give the young people and some older ones what they should read and after it "had "been opened for dis cussion Mr. Fox seemed to hold |up his end of the yoke “What should we teach besides text book,” by Mrs. Alice L.

The next paper was by Prof. Trufant of Parsonslield High school, “The value of physical culture in rural sohools. Mr. Trufant drescribed an able paper and showed to the audience that what he had travelled took notice of what he saw. After j answering a few questions, F A. Fox seemed to be ready to deolare they recited to the audience the ages oi families who never practiced physical cuture and those that had. They both camo to tho conclusion that they would both have to do before it oould be de cided. Others then took it in hand and dosed the afternoon on this paper. After the election of officers, the same as last year, and resolutions adopted, they adjourned until 7.30 p. m. At tho evening session Prof. Trufant delivered one of his fine leotures on the 1 “English Grammar".’ THEY MEET AT BANGOR.

Yesterday’s Meeting oi the Governor am Council—Judge Peabody’s lnterestinj Report. [SPECIAL TO THE IRESS.] 3 Augusta, Me., November 20.—The Gov ernor and Council aro holding one o: their sessions, and this meeting is on< which gives a pretty good idea of the variety of matters which the honorablf council is called upon to oonsidor. Tht Governor and his advisors arrived oi the aftornoon trains and the meeting be gan at four o’ciook. What was in some respects expected to he the mo3t important matter to comt before the Council did not come up ai all. This wa3 the hearing on the petit ion of Parker Spnfford.JEsq., and others of Bucksport, asking the appointment ol Alva B. Ames of that town as reoordei of the Western Hancook Municipal oourt. The petitioners claimed that an acl passed by the legislature of 1895, contem plated that the recorder of tho couri should be located in Buoksport. The Western Hancook Municipal court was created by an act of the Iegisiaturepassed in 1893. At the organization of the couri, Edward E. Chase of Bluohill was appointed as judge. Mr. Chase designat ed Mr. Ames as his recorder, and Mr. Ames served until January of this year. The statute creating the court provided that the judge might remove the records for cause, and in January, Judge Chase did remove Mr. Ames on the ground that the recorder had made statements pre liulininl Ur* UVwa rjirvtvifip nf t.ho nmift. rPhftn at the last session of tho legislature, the law was ohanged. l'he new act increased somewhat the compensation of the judge and increased the jurisdiction of the re corder in criminal matters. It further provided that the recorder should there aftei be appointed by the Governor.Now, citizens of Bucksport petition for the appointment of the same gentleman whom Judge Chase removed. On this petition a hearing was assigned for to day at 4 p. m., but the petitioners failed to appear, and Mr. Ames, himself was not present. Judge Chase was here, ready to appear as a remonstrant to the granting of tho petition. Judge Chase stated that he had no personal feeling in the matter, but that, having removed Mr, Ames for what he considered suffi cient reason, he did objeot to his re-ap pointment. It is understood that the petitioner having failed to appear, Gov ernor Cleaves will not undertake to re view or reverse Judge Chase’s decision and that the probabilities a re that Mr. Ames will not be restored to the posit ion of recorder. Judge Chase makes no objection to the appointment of any other suitable citizen of^Buck-porr, and would like to have such an appointment made. Mr. Harvey W. Smith of Buoks port, has been suggested by many lead ing citizens of Hanoock county as a suiatble man for the place. The West ern Hanoock Municipal oourt embraces in its criminal jurisdiction all the towns in the county west of Union river, and has oivil jurisdiction all over the county. It was represented to the governor that it would be convenient to have a record er in Bucksport and if some acceptable candidate is presented from that town, he would, no donbbt, be appointed Judge Peabody of Portland, and Judge Stevens of Augusta, were on hand at to day’s meeting, to make a report of the doings of the commission created by the legislature at its last session, to prepare uniform blanks and rules of procedure, for use in the Probate and Insolvency courts. Heretofore eaoh court has had its own set of blanks and system of pro cedure, a state of things obviously not the best. Judgo Peabody brought with him from Portland two large volumes, and one small book, mbodying the re sults of the commissiones labors. In one of tho large volumes, making 470 pages, are printed the 173 forms of blanks for probate praotice,agreed upon by the com missioners. The second volume is uot an lnro-o matin*?- 204 nairas, in which aro the seventy blanks of insolvency practice. The rules, which are the same for both courts, make a pamphlet of twenty-one pages. All the blanks and rules have been approved by the justioes of the Supreme court. The use of the blanks is obligatory after two years. Jduge Peabody, iu making the report for the commission, told how industri ously they had been at work since last February, and how they had gone about thoir labors with such care, that in many instances, a discussion of several hours over tho use of an expression in a blank bad been followed by the examination of many legal tomes to determine just the words to bo employed. It had seemed to the commissioner's after they had begun the work that tho end ot the century would come bofore its completion, but finally they had unanimously agreed upon a system in which the Supreme court had made only a few slight chan ges. Judgo Stevens also made a brief statement. Next the Council listened to a matter of finance. Mr. Andrews of tho law firm of Heath and Andrews of this city, appeared in behalf of Sarah J. and Kachel O’Brien, who live in Connooti cut, and who are heirs of Patrick Grady O’Brien, a veteran who died at the Togus home a number of years ago.Then it was not known where Iris heirs were and Mr. Heath, as the public adminis trator for Kennebec oounty, administered upon O’Brien’s estate. The veteran left,a little property apd this, amounting to something over SHOO, Mr. Heath paid in to the state treasury in accordance with the statute requirement. Sarah and Rachel are the only heirs of the de ceased Patrick’s brother, who is also dead. Patrick also had a sister, but she has not been heard from for over twen ty years Should she or any of liar chil dren be living they would be eutitled to half the little fortuue, consequently the Council are asked to determine whether Sarah and Kachel should have half of it, or whether, the presumption being, in view of tho long time since she has been hoard from, that the dead veteran’s sister is hereby dated without hoirs, the petitioners should have all the money. The Council will struggle with this prob iwn later, FIRE LAST NIGHT. Grocery Stock of Ebcn H. Verrlll on York Street liadly Damaged. At a little before 11 o’clock last night 1 an alarm of fire rang from box 64 and called the department to the corner of York and Park streets, where a large blaze was In progress in the interior of Eben H. York’s grocery store, a small wooden building. The fire was discovered by two young men named Tom Nolan and James Wrenn, who were just coming out of a club room near by. They saw the smoke coming from the building and pulled the l alarm. The chemical and engines 1, 8 and 4 responded so quickly that the fire did not break through. Water was poured into the interior of the building through the window ovor the front door and the flames were soon extinguished. It wrs a new store and new stock. Mr. Von ill h i l just put in a now baking ovenfaml u is supposed that the fire caugiit from that. Mr. Verrill lives on Green street and knew nothing of the fire till after it was all over.. JHe has been ill lately, and this seoond misfortune comes pretty hard upon him. There were many ex pressions of sympathy among those’ of the onlookers who knew the circum stances. The loss was principally upon the stock and that was mostly due to the water. The whole interior was badly wet down. It was difficult to tell last night the ex tent of the loss, but it was estimated at from $1600 to $2000. Mr. Verril was a brother of Mr. Frank H.

h feel it m bones:' Eheumatic Persons Perfect Barometers NOT A FOOLISH NOTION BUT EX PLAINABLE ON SCIENTIFIC PBINCIPLES. Some Account of Painful and Defonuinff i Disease. Many persons claim that they can for tell ohanges in the weather, tho »r|y exp lanation for their knowledge being that “they feel it iu their bones. This is not a foolish notion. The nerves of persons suffering from rheumatism are more highly sensitive than those of other people, and for that reason they are moro easily affected by any eliange in the atmosphere. How few of us are exempt from tills common disease. After some exposure to wet or cold, there are slight chills, lassitude, no ap petite, bitter taste in the mouth, coated t8n"ue, and excessive soreness, lame ness and swelling in some joint,, muscle or portion of the body. The pains shift from one place to another; sometimes the disease may settle in tho back, or chest, and one can scarcely breath with out a sbai’p pain: the shoulder or arm may be affected, or the rheumatism may settle in the feet and legs. At any time there is danger that the rheuma tism may attack some vital organ like the heart and carry off its victim. The seat of the disease is in the blood and nervos. Get the blood and nerves light and you romove the cause of the trouble. Mr. Daniel A. Foster, of Went worth, N. H., who hail been suffering for years, at last found prompt relief from pain and describes it in the follow ‘•I have been in an extremely nervous condition,” says Mr. Foster, “I bad the grip so that X was unconscious for sev eral days for most of the time. I have had the rheumatism for seven years enough to kill a man. When 1 had the grip everybody thought I would die, but I pulled through. I have used medi cine, every kind that we could hear of, hut that did not do me any good. 1 have had many doctors prescribe for me, but they didn’t hit ray case. “1 saw Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy advertised and watched tire papers to see how people talked in the papers, and saw it so well recom mended that X went down and got a bottle. That did me so much good that I went down and got another bottle, and that helped me still more. I have now used five bottles, and can truly say that it has helped me more than all the other medicines and doctors put together that I over used. I had the rheumatism so badly that I could not sit up, nor dress myself, and I thought I knew what pain was, but not before. But now that is all gone, I do not have an ache or a pain and I work every day and do as much work as any man in town. “Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy was what cured me, and I cheerfully recommend it to others as the best medicine I ever used.” Mr. John A. Davis, Postmaster of the town of Wentworth, says: “I am personally acquainted with Mr. Daniel A. Foster, and have known him for forty vears and can vouch for the truth of his story, for I have.long known of his case Mrs. Daniel Foster also used the Ner vura and adds her recommendation “I never take medicine if I can pos sibly help it, but sometimes I can’t My food 'distressed me and soured in my stomach, causing considerable gas. This gave me great pain. I was also very sleepless, and at times could not get the refreshing sleep so much needed. Whe u these spells came on I used Dr. Greene’s Nervura, and the result was that I slept soundly and was refreshed. It also re lieved me of the distress of dyspepsia. I cordially reoommend it to all as the best rcedicinu I ever used.” The immense benefit whioh Mr. Foster derived from the use of Dr. Greene’s Ner vura, the great blood and nerve remedy, is shown by the quickness with which the pain disappeared. The entire system is nourished by the nutritive and strengthening properties of this sure, safe and valuable cure. Why not try it today? Do not wait for the pain to pur sue you into every part of your body, leaving you with terrible deformities. lioinomber that this wonderful remedy is the discovery of the great specialist Dr. Greene, of 34 Temple Place, Boston, Mass., who can always bo consulted per sonally or by letter, froe of charge.

i BARRETT’S HOPE. He Is Confident of Ming a Mew Trial. jCHAFFEPS ARREST IS A TERRI. BLE BARRIER. The Burglar King Has Bitter Thoughts— All His Scheming, in His Cell Aban doned. Boston, November-20. —Confined within the dark gray wai Is of the State Prison at Charlestown, 'illam Barret has now nearly served the first year of the life sentence given hin 1 by the court in No vember, 1S94, for tine murder of Consta ble James Farrar of Weston on the morn ing of the 17th of Miy. preceding. At the time the sentence was passed Uarrctt was given twelve months in which to ask for: a new trial, which pc ivilege expires wi tli the next week. When Barrett w is first sentenced he antiouncod his in tention to ask for a new trial but there was this serious ob jection to acting hastily. If he was gran ted a new tr tal, would he faro as well in the end? B; irrett knew that near ly every one fam iliar with the facts of his -crime would have willingly seen him hanged. The thought of having to pass the remaind er of his life behind prison walls was not a pleasant one to Barrel it, and then the thought of a ropo arounll his neck was. still more distaste ful to him. Barrett, howev ter, thought that he .i wind sht iw of being sentenced lor a term of year b, and possibly might have, before the r (resent month expired, asked for a now tri; »1. Buu just at this time a most unfortu nate thing happei Jed for Barrett in the arrest of .James S. Uhaffey and his subsequent disclosures. Previous to that nothing whatever was positively known concerning Barrett's pust life. No par ticular burglary had been laid at his door, .although, when arrested, it was thouglic he was a i pel man geuerally. At the time off his arrest, and when he was taken to tb .e Waltham police Sta ton, a complete rutfit of burglars' tools was found upon 1 aim, and still no other burglary than t! Jat of the Weston house could be brought (gainst him. It is also an interesting fact that just previous to Barit art’s arrest several resi dences in Lincoln had been broken into, 3 nd that after h Is arrest these robteries ceased. The arrt st of Chafltey has caused Barrett to abani Ion the idea of petition ing for a new tr ial. He knows tbh mips Elected President—A Very successful Occasion. The Portland Wheel club seems to have a lien on the fountain of perpetual youth. The annual banquet, hold last evening at tho Preble House, was one of the most interesting occasions in the club history. Thirty-two members and invited guests were present. After discussing the ex cellent menu provided, Vico President Elwell introduced tho newly eleoted pres ident, Mr. Sylvan 13. Phillips who acted as toastmaster for tho evening. President Phillips read a letter of re gret from Chief Consul elect Ilichborn of Augusta, of the Maine Division, L. O. W., and introduced us his represen tative, Mr. Ewing Hamlin of Augusta. Mr. Hamlin apostrophized the good roads movement, described the ease with which any bill supposedly against the farming interest is “killed0 the Maine Legislature, and urged a policy of ouuoa tion and conciliation. Ex-Chief Consul Marrett was intro duced and pointed out that the increased growth of cycling had givon riso to grave questions of road etiquette. Mr. Marrett reviewed tho recent Hangor Mooro case and seemed to see victory in apparent defeat. Mr. John Calvin Stevens also confined his remarks to road laws and made many valuable suggestions. Mr. Prank A. Elwell, who sorrowful ly oalled himself “the last leaf on the troe,’’ recalled;; the halcyon days of the past when wheelmen wore absurdly tight clothes on very attenuated forms. Mr. Elwell paid a glowing tribute to Ame rican cj cling club life, and related many stories of European cycling tours in nroof of domestic suneriority. Good roads are just as possible in Maine as anywhere else. The talk about the detoriotating influence of frost, etc., was veriest bosh. The speaker had soon roads in the Alps and Switzerland which woro cer tainly subjected to as severe weather as any. Mr. George E. Dow also related some European experiences. The newly elect ed officers all thanked the club “for the honor conferred upon them,” and the party adjourned to the club rooms. The following is the board of officers! President—S. B, Phillips.

Mr. Ferguson had been in failing health for two years, and last Friday was removed from the Falmouth Hotel to the in firmary He will be remembered by ail Portland citizens as the stout gentloman of large build and intellectual countenance who was accustomed to walk about the streets a good deal with military car riage and gait, swinging his cane and frequently ooming to a standstill and gazing around and upward and then proceeding, only to stop again. Some ten or morojyears ago Mr. Fer guson came to this city with his wife who had been taken so seriously ill while on a journey that it was necessary to stop here and'secure medical attendance. They took rooms at the Falmouth and she was ill there for several years. In this way Mr. Ferguson became a frequent visitor and latterly almost a permanent resident of this city. He had a fine summer residence at Intervale, N. H. Mr. Ferguson was a Kew York man and a gentleman of woalth and culture, of wide learning and much experience in travelling. He was a charming conver sationalist and always liked to talk about Samuel J. Tilden, of whom ho had been on intimate acquaintance. He had done a great deal of literary work in the way of contributions to magazines and periodicals. He was much esteemed by Portland peope who enjoyed his acquain tance. He leaves a widow and a stop da uglier, Miss Van Bockolen. Henry Marshall Coflin, Many people will bo pained to learn of the death of Henry M. Coffin, which occurred in this city yesterday. Mr. Coffin was the son of Francis H. Coflin, Esq.,"of Portland, and was 27 years of age. He had been in excellent health up to a year ago, when lung trouble developed and rapidly consumed his strength, causing his death. He was a young man of excellent qualities, and was last wintor tickot agent of the Mitchell course and Stockbridge enter tainments. He was later employed as ticket agent at Rigby. Park. He was a prominent member of the Portland Cadets. A widow and child survive him. The Maine Ordered to Portland.

AM) SPEAKS OF HARRISON’S UN POPULARITY. Ho Thinks He Should Declare His Inten tion—As Usual He Talks of the Curieu ,.y_It Will he a Struggle of Fast Against West. Now York, November 20.—Senator John Sherman was interviewed at the Fifth Avenue Hotel today. A reporter asked the Senator if he had read the story in which it is said Mr. Harirson’s friends would ask him say whether he was a candidate for ro-election, and the Senator replied: “No, but 1 certainly think lie should answer whether he is a e-ndidate. It would be much belter for him I imagine. I do not think he is very popular with the peoplt. In Ohio, Mr. Harrison cannot bo said to be very popular. Kven when he ran the first time, his own state wont against him.” The senator turned his attention to Secretary Carlisle’s spooch at the Cham ber of Commerce banquet last night. The basic error of the speech, ho main tains, was the Secretary’s idear that legal’ tenderism could bo done away with entirely. It could not bo done. The Senator said a great mistake was in the way the Democratic administration tampered with the gold reserve It should have issued short bonds of live rears’ duration which people litre wouid have taken up quickly at 3 J>er cent, and with this pay the expenses of the govnormont without touching the gold reserve. These short bonds would have been paid for in legal tender notes. In stead of poing this the administration, permitted the bankers to clear L?U,000,000 hv selling bonds for good at 1 per cent. .Mr. Carlisle's plan proposed last night, the Senator considered impracticable. There arc ijC-30 national banks, and it would not be said, in order to have currency to take gold out of the United States Treasury and scatter it around these hanks to redeem in money issuod by these banka The Senator said when it came to the issue in regard to money, he thought the East would he against the West irrespective of party. As long as Mr. Cleveland was President he said there would bo no silver legis lation because ho favored sound money. The Senator thougt that the silver craze was on the wane. CROWN AND SCEPTER.

COURTING CUT SHORT. Uncle Sam's Officers Made It Very Un pleasant for a Farmington Man. Farmington, November 20.—The crimi nal sensation of the week has been the arrest of William W. Smith of this town at Livermore Falls by Deputy United States Marshal Edward H. Emery of Portland for violation of the internal revenue laws in the sale of intoxicating liquors without the paymont of the United States tax. Something of a romanoe surrounded the apprehension of Smith by Deputy Marshal Emery. Smith lies of late been paying marked attentions to a Farming ton widow, who had hut just returned from visiting him at Livermore Falls, accompanied by her son on the very day that the deputy marshal arrived in Farm ington for the purpose of effecting hi arrest. The deputy marshal obtained the assistance of ex-Deputy Sheriff Nelson Gould of Farmington, who visited the widow’s family taud there secured the information as to Smith’s exact where atouts without spooling for what purpose it was to be used. Smith but lately concluded serving a sentence in Farmington jail for violation of the state laws in the sale of liquor, and is now beignning his second sentence at Alfred jail to which he was committed uy order of U. S. District Judge Webb, Smith’s release from Farmington jail was effeoted in a most unusal manner, and by the ruling of Chief Justice Peters on a point never before brought to the attention of the supreme court. He had been tried at the same time on two oharges that of selling liquor and assault and battory, under two warrants,and had been sentenced by Judge Chandler to pay a line on each, and in default of payment of the tines to serve 8 days in Farming ton jail on each charge After he had served 30 days for the offense the mitti mus whioh had been held baok for the expiration of the first sentence was served for the second, and he began serv ing his next 30 days, but he was taken from custody of Jailor Dyer by a writ of habeas corpus drawu by bis counsel, Henry L. Whitcomb, Esq., of "Farming ton, and was released by order of Chief Justice Peters after a careful hearing in whioh County Attorney Elmer E. Kioh ards appeared for the state. Chief Justioe Peters ruled that his two jail sentences had run concurrently, and that in living 30 days with Jailor Dyer he had served his (30 days’ sentence.

Mr. Cum mings says that the whole missionar; world is greatly interested in the situa tion in Turkey. The missionaries an espooialiy interested in the position whicl England will take. England probably rules more Mohammedans than any othe: power on earth, even more than the Sul tan. Her power in India is maiutainec by carefully playing off the Mohamme dans and the Hindoos. She has only 35,COO British troops in India. Burmal is today garrisoned for England largely by Sikhs, Pathans, and Ghoorkhas, fierce Mohammedan troops. There may be some question how the Mohammedan world under English rule would regard an assault on Turkey by British power. OBITUARY. Frederick C. Plaisted. Frederick C. Plaisted, father of Fred A.

In his last work, speaking of the treatment of scrofula, he says: It is hardly necessary to state that cod-liver oil is the best remedy of all. The oil should be given in emulsion, so prepared as to be palatable.” He also says that the hypophosphites should be combined with the oil. Scott’s Emulsion of cod liver oil, with hypophos phites, is precisely such a preparation. THE BDTLER SCHOOL. 1 Tlie Hoard of Health and Public Build ings Committee Confer. 7 Vote of Confidence fn the Hoard of Health Passed—Prof. Woodbridge the Expert Telegraphed Eor—He is in Washington. At 10 a. ;n. yesterday, tiie Mayor and Messrs. Randall, Snow, Holland and Illsley, of the committee on public build ings, Dr. Morrill, Dr. Cummings and City Clerk Dyer, constituting the Board of Health, met in tho Mayor’s room to further consider what ought to be done in the basement of tho Butler school house. Mayor Baxter called the meeting to order and then asked the health board to state what they had iinally deoided, after further deliberation, to recommend in the matter. Dr. Morrill said that this is an import ant matter and needs a great deal of calm thought. Tho Board of Health want to do the right thing, hut the ques tion has beon, what is the right thing? There is at present great excitement among the parents of the Butler sohool district. The Board of hoalth believe that the first plan outlined by them, which is now being carried out, was enough to make the school house safe and sanitary, yet from the hearing yes terday tho Board has come to the con clusion, that the plan already recommend ed by them is not sufficient to satisfy the ideas of safety held by the residents in that part of the city. The Board have therefore decided to recommend that the trough system bo taken out and that a sufficient number of water closets like those in the High School building be substituted. They will also recom mend slate urinals, exaotly tho same as those in the High school building. They recommend that the heating aparatus remain the same, exoept two or three radiators whioh should be moved away irom tho water closets. Dr. Merrill then went on to state that the Board of ilealtli, in their visit to Chestnut street sohool house Tuesday had found an unsauitary eonidtion in the basement. Tbe urinal should be taken out and a system of urinals and water closets, exactly the same as those in the High sohool building should be put in. Mr. Illsley suggested that in the Butler school, the sanitary arrangements ought to be moved to the attio. There would be no danger of ban air. Dr. Merrill said that the Board of Health had not considered the proposition of removing sanitary arrangements from the basement. Mr. Randall was of the deoided opin ion that an expert ought to be employed and the arrangements put in first class shape, under this expert’s directions. He thought the plan proposed by the Board of Health would be in the nature of patching, up and not a permanent im provement. Mayor Baxter said ho could see no ob jection to putting the sanitary arrange ments into the attic. Dr. Cummings said that even if these arrangements were moved to the attic there would still bo danger of dust and collar air getting into tho rooms through the heating apparatus. Mr. Illsley said that the cold air boxes could bo made tight, statements to the contrary notwithtanding. Dr. Cummings thought that ultimate ly tho Butler school people would de mand the fan system of heating and ven tilation,like that in the High school. Mr. Snow said that to make the im provements recommended by the Board of Health would oost 13500. Dr. Cummings thought that the now water closet system should be put in at once, but the question of better heating apparatus could be deferred until vaca tion time. He said that in his opinion the condition of the Park, Casco, West End and Monument schools were as bad as that of Butler school. He said that eventually it would be well to make .,11 t.1,~ _i i-_I but the parents of the Butler school children have made so muoh fuss that it would he well to make the changes asked for there at once, although ho believed the unsanitary condition of the Butler school building to be much exaggerated. Councilman Illsley was afraid that a kick from the pooplo who have children in tho Butler school, amounts to much more than would a kick from any other part of the city. Why should children in the West End have more attention paid to their comfort and health than the children of tho eastern part of the city? Why should Butler school be put in a sanitary condition and the schools situated in less favored parts of the town be left as they are? If the ohildren in Buticr school are in danger from the un sanitary condition of the building, so are thoso in other schools. The people in the eastern part of the city think as much of their children as do those of the West End. I am with the Board of Health every time in reoommending uny changes for the better, and I will do all I can to help Improve tho Butler or any other school, but when it oomes to making the appropriation I shall kick against Butler school getting all and the other schools noth.ng. Butler school, as far as I am concerned, can have all that is needful to make the building safe, but if my vote counts for anything, tho other schools get just as muoh. Ur. Cummings said that the Board of Health was not working for tho Butler school alone, but believed iu carrying out tho reforms whorever reform was found necessary. Mayor Baxter said he favored Mr. Ran dall’s suggestion of an expert ami spoke of Prof. Woodbridge of Boston. Urs. Merrill and Cummings both fav 01 ed getting Prot. Woodbridge. Mr. Randall then moved that Prof. Woodbridge be sent for at once and that he examine, not only the Butler school house, but all the other school houses. Mr. Illsley seconded this motion and it was carried unanimously. Prof. Woodbridge is connected with the Institute of Technology in Boston and is the leading expert on the subject of heat ing and ventilation in the country. Hi had entire charge of the heating »n( ventilation in the Portland High sohoo building and his work there is consider01 to be as near perfection as it is possible to obtain. Mayor Baxter said he would telegraph to Prof. Woodbridge at once and see when he can come to Portland. Superintendent Lord asked the mom bers of the public buildings committee how long the Bntler sohool is likely tc remain closed and they thought it Woult be several weeks. Provisions will be mode for the first class in two rooms in MeLellan sohool, and one room in the Jackson sohool. It has been suggested that a vacant room in Brackett street school and an other in Casoo street sohool would accom modate the second class. On motion of Mr. Illsley th e following was passed: Voted, That by the above vote we do not intend to show lack of confidence in the judgment of the Board of Health or repudiate our vote of November 7, but owing to the wishes of parents of the Butler school. 3 Dr. Cummings and Dr. Merrill oalled attention to the way children’s cloth ing is hung in the Chestnut street school. The hooks are near together and by the olotbing of one child rubbing against that of another, disease may he commu nicated. The same oondltion exists in every school In the city to a more or less degree except in the High sohool, where each child has a separate compartment to bang bis olothing. During the time that the Butler schoo is closed for repairs, beginning next Monday, the school committee has provid ed rooms for the first and second olasses Misses Williams and Grover and their olasses will go to the MeLellan sohool. Miss Moxcey and Mrs. Knowles and their classes to the Jackson sohool; Miss Burrowos and her olass to the Casoo street sohool, and Miss Jacobs and her class to the Braokett street sohool. Mr. Woodbridge was telegraphed by Mayor Baxter and the anwer returned that he was m/Washington. Gardiner claims a couple a little out of the ordinary. The woman says she is a member of the English nobility, and that she left her home to elope with a coachman, with whom sho is now living there, the husband having seonred a situ* ation as hostler on a stock form. The woman is refined and cultivated, speaks English, French, Spanish and German fluently. Sherman Mills is the only town on record where the boys play ball out of doors all winter regardless ,of rain or snow, sunshine or mud.

A Proclamation by Governor Henry B. Cleaves. The annual harvest has been gathered. Tbe year that is rapidly drawing to a close, has brought to the people of our beloved State, a large measure of posperity. Peace, good order, contentment and happiness prevail within our vast domain. God has crowned the year with His blessings and favors, and with the over-flowing riches of His giace and mercy. Therefore, Thursday the 38tli Day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, is hereby desig nated. with the advice of tbe Executive j Council, as a day of public THANKSGIVING ANO PRAISE. Refraining from oioinary vocations, may all tlie people of our Christian Common wealth. in their homes and in places dedi cated to public worship, render tributes of priise and gratilde for the many manifesta tions of God’s goodness. And amid our songs of praise, let our thankfulness be evinced by some substantial expression or sympathy lor tbe poor, the unfortunate and afflioterl. Given at tbe Executive Chamber at Augusta, this eleventh day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-live and u tbe Independence of the United States of America tbe one hundred and twentieth. HENRY B. CLEAVES. By tbe Governor. NICHOLAS FESSENDEN, Secretary of State. Another step down for the party is Senator Gray’s comment on the nomina tion of Josiah Quincy for Mayor of Bos ton. How these Democrats love one an other. “Objector'' Holman’s diagnosis of the recent elections is that they resulted as they did because of popular dislike of 'the administration. Mr. Holman thinks the biggest of Cleveland's blunders was his Hawaiian policy, which is probably cor rect. Certainly it was the most deliber ate and inexcusable. It was, too, a purely administrative affair, for not oven the prominent men of the party were consult ed in regard to it. The President very properly styled it “my policy.’’ the Republicans ot Boston without a dis senting vote. His administration has been generally satisfactory to his political foes as well as his political friends, and if to deserve success is to command it he will be the next Mayor of Boston. Of course the city is Democratic on a straight party vote, but it is in the habit of ignoring to a large extent party lines in municipal elections and the weight of opinion is that it will do so this year and retain its present efficient and popular executive head. Senator McMillan says he shall give no assistance or encouragement to the move ment to abrogate the treaty with Eng land relative to the building of war ships on the Lakes. Ho thinks the treaty is worth more to us than to England, and that is likoly to be the opinion of every body who views the matter calmly. If we put war vessels on the lakes England will put same there too ai d in case of war there will be an English fleet all ready to threaten every one of our big lake cities. Every one of these cities is now protected by this treaty, for if war broke out the United States could take possession of the lakes long before Eng land could do anything to prevent. The abrogation of this treaty would simply deprive us of this protection and advant age. _ Senator Vest is still shouting for free ilver. “We will never have prosperity” he says “until there is free eoiuage of silver and our volume of money is in creased. Vest holds the President chiefly responsible for the Democratic defeat. He says: “The President, surrounded by a lot of incensu burners who told him he could do no wrong, demanded an unconditional i surrender by the silver men ill Congress, and that the volume of money should be reduced $40,000,000 annually by repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act without putting anything in the vacuum fo created. Iu other words, he demanded j that we should endorse the gold standard. I I :o same incense burners are now telling me President that the recent elections demonstrate his foresight, and one of his cabinet has coma out in an interview gloating ovur the result. No one differed more than myself .with Brice and Gor man on the present tariff, and I support ed tho measure as it passed only because it was better than the McKinley act It is but just to say, however, that hut for the asssurance of the President aud Mr. Carlisle to Senators Harris and .Jones that some bill must be passed. Mr. Cleveland never would have had the op portunity of branding the act as treachery to the party. What a delightful time the Democrats will have when they get together in national convention and cell what they think about ono another. THE SCHOOL HOUSES. It is quite evident that there is only one way of calming the fears of parents concerning the condition of the school houses, aud that is by having the build ing s examined by an expert and then making what changes he suggests. We have no doubt that a great part of the alarm is entirely uufounded, and that the children, or many of them, who are_taken out of school, will be exposed to more danger than if allowed to remain thero. But it is of no use to reason or argue. The fear exists and the only way to remove it is to get the expert and follow his sugges tions. Tho examination ought to take in every school house in the city, and every one of them should be put in as good con dition as the residents at the West End demand for the Butler school house. Be cause there has not been so much disturb ance in the Eastern eni of the city is no reason why their school homes should be slighted. Let every oue of them be at tended to without regard to location, in fluence or cost. It is to be hoped that the concentration of publio attention upon the school hous s will not lead people to overlook other sources of disease germs aud foul air. If sewer gas is dangerous in school imncpc it is inrit.' iljimperons in dwelling houses, for there the children are confined many more hours and consequently in hale more of it. If disease germs lurk in the school house so do they in the private dwelling and they have more opportuni ties to get in their deadly work in the lat ter than in the former. All sources of contagion will not be abolished when the school houses are made perfect. Let the parent who is agitated about the school house get agitated also about his own dwelling sufficiently to make an excur sion to the cellar and examine the plumbing arrangements there. Let him set the same high standard for his own house that he demands shall be applied to the school bouse. If he isn’t an ex pert himself, ]t him call one, and fol low his suggestions just as he demands they shall be followed in the case of the school building. If the agitatiou proceeds to this point it will do a great deal of good, but if it stops with the school house, if the parent concludes that his children are safe simply because the sohool building in which they spend five or six hours a day are perfectly plumbed, it will have accomplished very little, for it is undoubtedly truo that the sanitary condition of our school houses, even the worst of them, is better than that of one half of the dwelling houses in this town. THE SULTAN AND THE POWERS. The plea of the Sultan contained in the letter to Lord Salisbury sounds very mush like the appeal of a conviot about to be sentenced to prison. “Give me an other chance” pleads the unhappy oonvict “aud I will lead an exemplary life.” For the time being the convict means what he says, and so doubtless does the Sultan In bis letter to Lord Salisbury. But wheu bis fear departs the old pro pensities of the malefaotor oome back again and ho finds himself drifting Into o ime once more. The Sultan just now is thoroughly frightened. The Powers are threatening him from without and his own subjects are conspiring against him within. He sees hie throne slipping from him aud he is ready to promise .anything that will help him to maintain himself. While the eyes of Europe are upon him and their fleets are in range of his capi tal the Sultan is likely to continue sick enough to be a monk and promise and nndov^nlrA fA fulfil al1. tiro rpfftpmB that the Powers suggest. He has done that before under similar circumstances, but sooner or later he has always lapsed into his old ways. His inclination to behave is very feeble, and his ability is feebler still Were he never so anxious to put in force the reforms demanded by the powers he would fail simply btcause ho has not the control of his provinces which is an essential condition of the enforce ment of the demanded reforms. Asiatic Turkey is in a state of hopeless anarchy, the Sultan’s authority is openly defined there,his troops are untrustworthy and he has no means of bringing order out of the ohaos^that exists there. The ex igency is entirely; beyond his strength, even if he were in a position to employ the full power of the empire. And there is abundant reason to believe that he is surrounded by a coterie of men who are secretly conniving at the massacres in Asiatic Turkey and |who can so hedge him about that he eannot effectively use such force as exists for the putting down of tiro insurrection. Lord Salisbury, who of course is thoroughly Informed of the situation in Constantinople, evidently places no reliance upon the Snltan’s promises whatever, and feels that reforni can only come through the direct inter position of the powers.. But how shall they interpose? They could depose the Sultan of oourse, but thht would not improve the situation in Asiatio Turkey, rather make it worse,ffor oven the feel c restraint which he now exercises wouiu then be gone. When the Sultan is lorn down another government must be set up and it must be backed by suilic tent, force to restore order or else tlm empire must be parcelled out among tlie powers. Kussia could soon restore order in Asiatic Turkey if the Powers would authorize her to undertake the job. Her troops are upon the border and in a few days they could take possession of the country. But after her troops had once marched in it would te very diffi cult to prevail pi n them to march out. In sliortjthe restoration of order in Asiatic Turkey by Russian torops would end in the annexation of that country to the Russian empire. The Powers know this and are not yet quite prepared for it. It is difficult to discern any other method, however, of restoring order in the region that is now overrun by the savage Kurds. Certainly it is sufficiently proved that nothing can bo hoped for from the Sultan. MAINE POLITICS 50 YEARS AGO. A Notable Congressional Contest Between Two Notable Politicians—Both Oxford and Cumberland in the Fight—Nathan iel S. Littlefield and Virgil I). Parris and How Littlefield Won. (Ily Hon. John J. Perry.) To the Editor of the Press: Jb'ifty years ago but little attention was paid to county linos in fixing the boun daries of Congressional Districts. Tn 1840 some four or five towns in the northern part of Cumberland County were, and had been for soveral years, connected with Oxford County Congres sional District. Tbeso towns included Bridgton, Harrison, Otisfleld und Naples. The Democrats in these towns always contended that in a decade of ten years they ought to have one term in Congress if they presented a suitable candidate, and to this end—for three or four prior Congressional conventions—had presented Jihe name of Nathaniel S. I^ttlefield, and gave it their unanimous support. In 1840 the old Japportionment was about up, and at the same time it was very certain that in the nert Congres sional classification Cumberland County would be kept together, and these stray towns go with the county. Mr. Littlo field, who had up to this time simply permitted his friends to use bis name in prior conventions—with no expectation of nomination —now thought, by mak ing a vigorous effort, he had a fighting chance to win. So starting with the Cumberland towns, he commenced a canvass in the other counties and put himself in com munication with leading Democrats in other towns in the district. Mr. Little field was an adroit politician, who very largely kept his own secrets and person ally managed his own canvass. But to start with, he well knew that he had a powerful antagonist to contend with in the person of Virgil D. Parris of Buck field. Mr. Parris was then In Congress, and had long been a prominent factor in the Democratic party in Oxford coun ty. He had his political fences well put up and well guarded by his friends. While Parris was accredited with being a good political manager in organizing forces ho was not equal to Littlefield. Tha latter was inclined to fight in a bush, while the former chose the open field. There were no railroads then, and political oanvassers had to depend mainly on private teams. But in this regard both candidates were very fortunate. Parris was the owner of a powerful horse, familiarly known as “Old Zeke,” and it is a historical fact, that before that canvass was closed— Old Zeke was about as well known in political oiroles as his owner. Littlefield had an equally faithful steed, but not as well known, for the reason that his owner in the “hot season of the year” found it more comfortable to travel nights—and frequently turned up in some distant town or village—before the inhabitants and breakfasted. The caucuses for the election of dele gates were occasions of intense political excitement. The line between the friends of the two candidates was squarely drawn, and every man elected a delegate was a pledged man to either one or the other candidates. As the campaign pro ceeded—greatly'to the disgust of Paris and his friends—another candidate ap eared in the field in the person of Hon. Job Prince of Turner. This, to Parris and his friends looked like a flank move ment m the interest of his rival for as against Littlefield he felt sure of carrying them, but as against Prince he would be beaten at the start. But the fight went, on, and Prinoe secured eight delegates in the Convention, which convened at Paris Hill In June of that year. Both candi dates and their friends were early on the ground, the convention duly organized, and on a formal ballot Littlefield and Parris had an equal number of vote3, and Prinoe lmd his. This result was no surprise to either of the leading candi dates, for they knew their mon, and strange as it may seem, every delegate proved true to his pledges when elected. rue result- hiiuwbu Limb wje ejsrjic Jrrliice delegates held the prize in their hands, and the exciting question was, Would they “stiok” or go over to one or the other parties. The next ballot settled the question'for some of these men voted for Littlefield, and he was declared nomi nated. The fact that these delegates went over to Littlefield as early as the second ballot is pretty conclusive evidence that their constituency had a choice between the two leading candidates, and expeoted their delegates to truly represent them, after giving their own candidate a formal ballot. Probably this convention and the cau cuses that elected its delegates were as honest and fair as the Democratic con ventions of that day would average. Yet Parris and his friends were terribly in dignant at the result. Tho tocsin of war was sounded and a bolting mass convention was called in Buekfield, Mr. Parris’s own town, which was quite largely attended. The meeting was a bold protest against tho nomina tion of Littlefield with flaming “Resolu tion” to tight it to the bitter end. At the first trial—at the regular annual election —there was no choice of Representative to Congress in that District. The bolt was a large one, and foreboded a doubtful result. But Littlofield proved himself >qual to the emergency and was skillful in laving his plans. As the law then required a majority of rotes to eleot, and as there was then no jhoice in that District, it was the duty if Governor Fairfield, who then filled the Executive ohair, to fix a time by procla nation for another trial.

PIN’KIIAJI’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND. Unequalled in the History of Medicine. Honesty, Excellence, Faithfulness Fitly Rewarded. [SPECIAL TO OUR LADT READERS.] Never in the history of medicine has the demand for one particular remedy for female diseases equalled that attained by Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound and never in the his tory of Mrs. Pinkhams wonderful Compound has the demand for it been so great as it is today. From Maine to California, from the Gulf to the St. Lawrence, come the glad tidings of woman’s suffering relieved by it; and thousands upon thou sands of letters are pouring in from grateful women, saying that it will and does positively cure those painful Ailments of Women. It will cure the worst form3 of female complaints, all ovarian troubles, inflam mation and ulceration, falling and dis placements of the womb, and consequent spinal weakness, and is peculiarly adapted to the change of life. L Every time it will cure Backache. It has cured more cases of leucorrhcea by removing the cause, than any remedy the world has ever known; it is almost infallible in such cases. It dissolves and expels tumors from the uterus in an early stage of development, and checks any tendency to cancerous humors. Lytlia E. Pinkham’s Liver Pills work in unison with the Compound, and are a sure cure for constipation and siek headaehe. Mrs. Pinkham’s Sanative Wash is frequently found of great value for local application.

HOME MISSION. The Women's Society Held a Meeting at South Portland Wednesday—Interest ing Echoes From the Field of Hood Work. __ Tho Woman's Home Missonary Society met Wednesday at 10 a.m.in the People’s church. Ou acoount of tho storm, not a large delegation was present at the open ing service, but. the Indies wore awako to their opportunity. Tho serivoe began by singing the hymn More Love to Thee. Mrs. Luce and several others led in prayer. Mrs. Kimball of Woodfords, tho presi dent, then look the chair. Miss Belle Cullen of Portland was selected secretary. Mrs.. Wood of South ’Portland then ex tended a most cordial address of weloome. This was responded to by the president, Mrs. Kimball,in well chosen words. Reports from delegates were then called for. The reports indicate a flourishing condition. One must get acquainted with this body of silent workers in order to know how much good work is done among the poor and needy. The society of Chestnut streot is Jmade up of young ladies, ail busy women. They meet evenings and are doing much good work. The South Portland Society reported a good work, several papers taken and one “life member.” Woudfords, Old Orchard, Biddeford and Saco were rep resented. A letter was read by Miss Allen from Aliss Mitchell of Atlanta, Ga, giving a vivid description ^of tilt* work done in that city.. Another letter was: read from Miss Matthews of tho Knimi- i grants’ Home, New York. This showed j the work being done among tho‘“Strang ers in our borders,” hut chiefly among tho young women who are the prey of tho vilest ot men. J-iunureus arc intis .-avuu by Christian counsel and protected in a Christian Home. Miss Allen then gave an interesting description of what is known to the society a tho “supply work. It is frontier ‘work—tho supply of the necessities of life to those who are spend ing their lives in the religious and other instruction of the poor frontier settlers. Mrs. Donnell of Portland spioke of tho work in the South as she saw it. At 12 o’olock dinner was served to all the visiting friends by the ladies of the People’s churoh. At 2 o’olock, the Rev. Win. Wood, I pas tor of tho church opened the meeting with prayer. Mrs. Reynolds of Pleasant dale gave a report of the church sho rep resented at brown’s Hill Many a barrol of clothiDg and provisions has been sent to cheer the hearts of frontier people. Each barrel was worth J ICO. Mrs. Allen solicited subscriptions for the Heathen Woman’s Friend. Mrs. Luce reported the great national convention of the Woman’s Home Mis sionary Society at Columbus, Ohio, October luth. For genuine Christian work, the doiDgs of this society would form very interest ing chapters in a now “Aots of the Apostles.” Surely these] goodly women are God’s apostles. The Lydias and Dor cases and Priscillas are more numerous than any one not posted in missionary enterprises can possibly know. The poor at our own doors are cared for. The poor of other lands and races are not forgot ten. Miss Grace Ellis sang very prettily an appropriate solo. Mrs. Strout of Woodfords then read a very interesting “Missionary Story. "Several resolutions were passod at this juncture of t e meeting. At 3.30 Mrs. Helen Eeedy of Farming ton was then in trod .iced and gave a thoughtful and thrilling address on the missionary work of tho society under rohnuR ansnicps thev met. Mrs Heedv said that the Woman’s Home Missionary Society of the Methodist church is one of the most efficient organizations of the world. It is an outg.owth of the great war of the rebellion Great degrudation and ignorance were seen and the women of our beloved Methodism in the Mas ter’s name made the opportunity their open door. It was God’s voice to them. They agitated, organized ;and advanced under His command and with His authority. Mrs. Beedy is a very interesting speak er. She emphasized the fact that Mrs. Lucy Webb Hayes was the first president of this society. Although very busy with the many calls and duties of the White House, always found time and strength to engage in the missionary work. Other ladies might learn a wholesome lesson from this good womau’s example. The werk of Mr. Tuck of Alaska was vividly portrayed. Besides being interested in many benevolent enterprises of the chuerli. Mrs. Beedy is quite an author. She is writing at present a book on ‘The Mothers of Maine,” which is now in press and will be out Jby December. At 4.15 the meeting adjourned, every body feeliug that it had been a very profitable session. Dr. A. H Flower, the Boston Specialist, will bo at the Falmouth Houso, Friday, Kovember 29. Lecture on the World’s Fair. Mr. E. C. Swett will deliver iiis olo quent and interesting illustarted lecture on the World’s Fair at the West End church this evening.

CHESTNUT STREET [SCHOOL. It Must Be Closed V. hile Repairs Are Made. Yesterday discovery was made in the Chestnut street school house which will have to be attended to immediately. It was found that the drain pipe in the rear of the building, leading from the gutters on tlie roof, was stopped up so that it had little, if any connection with the sewer. For sometime, therefore, the water from tho roof,; instead of going into the sewer, has been soaking into tho ground under the brick floor of the basement. In order to make the neces sary repairs it will be necessary to dig up the cellar floor to some oxtout and it is not thought safe to keep tho school in session while this is being done. Chestnut street school will accordingly bo closed until iurther notice, but. it is hoped tlie building will be in condiliou to reopen by next Monday. Falmouth Loan and Building Association.

The Waite Company opens atjtho Portland Theatre on Monday evening and a succession of orowded houses is sure to follow. Cissy Fitzgerald Next Week. Cissy Eitzgcrald will bo seen at City hall next Tuesday, the 26th inst. The Boston Beacon says: Tho search light on Mechanics Hall hns shone with enfeebled lustre all the week for the luminous and electrifyiug Cissy Wink has been scintillating nightly at the Park Theatre. The background, con structed to exhibit the wink to the best advantage is a farce by William Lestueq, the author of “Janet,” called “The Foundling,” In three aots. It is broader, however than it is long. The plot of tho piece can be readily deduced from tho title, for it Is merely the good old maxim that it is a wise child, oto., etc., treated from the farce comody standpoint, and tho chief amusement in the pieco arises from the reckless way in which the Foundling accuses every one on the stage regardless of their age, sex, race, color or previous condition of servitude of the doubtful liouor of his parentage. His efforts have apparently been successful to the extent of the acquisition of two putative mothers when the deus ex maohlna finally arrives aud sets matters right, quite clearing the character of those two unfortunate women.” The sale of seats will begin at Stock bridge’s tomorrow morning aud numbers will be givon out at 7 o’clock. It will be well to make an early ‘application foi this will be one of tho metropolitan treats of the season and there will be a big rush. Popular prices will prevail.

In Boston Music Hall was crowded to repletion Tuesday night by a most enthusiastic crowd Philip Hale says: “AmF’waht is again to ho said about Paderowski’s playing? You were at the concert last night how did you coh vey your impressions to a friend who was not there? If you are a musioiau you probably spoke of beauty of tone, eveness in scale passages and arpeggios, delicacy and spontaneity in arabesques, skill in the use of pedals, genorai splen dor of technique? But did your frionds gain any just idea of the power, the pa thos, the brilliancy of tho performance? Or if you are an amateur, a simple lover of music, what was there for you to do except to “babble in superlatives.’ Tho doors will ho [closed during each number of the programme and late com ers will have to await the conclusion of each sclction before they can take their seats.

HOW TO GET STRENGTH BLOOD GIVES STRENGTH. Kidneys Filter tho Blood and Takeout Poisonous Matter Which Weakens the S/stem—Blood and Kidney 't roubles Belated—How They May Be Got Rid of. Blood is tho strength of the body. It makes flesh and muscle. It gets nourishment from the stomach and bowels, and distributes it whore needed. It drains away all tho worn out mat ter. Every movement we make, wears out some of our tissue or flesh. This worn out matter is carried away by tho blood. The blood whioli contains it is poison ous, because the dead tissue is poisonous So it goes to the kidneys to bo purified Tho kidneys are simply blood filters. They filter out the bad matter from tho blood and expol it from the body. They leave the good matter in. The purified blood goes on and builds up the body. But there comes a time when the kid neys don’t do their duty. Water filters need cleaning now and then. So do blood filters. When your kiduoys are overworked, they fall sick. When they arc sick, they can’t filter your blood. When your blood is not pure, there is no knowing what disease you may suffer from. Unliltered blood makes Sores, r-impies, Blotehos, causes Headache, Dizziness Neuralgia, Loss of Ambition, Tiredness in the Bones and Muscles, Pains in the Joints and Muscles, Pale Sickly Com plexion, Depression of Spirits, and such well Jknown ^diseases as Rheumatism, Gout, Aneamia, Chlorosis or Green Sick ness, Hysteria, etc. To euro them, all'yon have to do is to filter your blood. The kidneys will do it if you will oure them. You can cure them with Dr. Hebb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills. Dr. Hobb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills will also cure such kidney troubles as B.ight’s disea.-e, D a etes, Nephritis, cto. These kidney troubles are also caused by impure blood. First the kidneys refuse to work, then the impure blood poisons the system,Jand with it the kidneys themselves. Many people make the mistake of sup posing the stomach can purify the blood. It can’t. Only the kidneys can do it. That is what they are there for. .So that ordinary “blood purifiers” are a mistake. A kidney modicino is wLat should be taken. And then, only a kidney medicine that lias tile proper action on the kid neys, such as Dr. Hebb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills. Asparagus is the only plant which has just the right medicinal ac tion on the kidneys, to cure them when overworked and tone them up, so that they commence again to purity the blood. Asparagus cures the sick kidneys aud acts naturally as a gentle tonic and regu lator. i It is the principal ingredient, made by a special process, in Dr. Hobb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills. Dr. Hobb’sJ Sparagus Kidney Pills is the only remedy Jwhich contains this especially prepared Aspara gus. Dr. liobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills will cure when other prescriptions and medi cines will nut even relieve.

The Elderly Couple Who Have Lived in a Boat—Various Other Items of Interest, There was a good deal of excitement on Portland Pier yesterday as the result of the violent insanity of an elderly woman whose history is peculiar. The little schooner Addie oame into the harbor Monday, and made fast tO;N. F. Trefethen’s lobster oars in the Port land Pier dock. She bad on board Cap tain A.C. Greeuleaf and his wife. They are both over sixty years of ago, and live on the schooner. They have been familiar charaters of the bay for several years. The old man is of large frame, spare and tall and broad shouldered with bushy gray beard and hair. His wife is a very small and slight woman, sixty-five years old. She would weigh scarcely ovor one hundred pounds. Tuesday, a man named Coffin, who is in the employ of N. F. Trefothon, said that Captain Greenleaf told him that his wife had become insane and he had been having a hard time with her. He hadn't been able to leave her and they were without food. He asked Coffin to go up town and get some food for him. Coffin did so. Yesterday morning, Coffin went aboard the schooner to see how they were getting along. He found them in the cabin. The woman’s hands were tied and her husband was holding her. He said that she had been so violent all night that he had to hold her. He had passed a terrible night. He hadn’t slept, of course, neither had he slept the night before, and he was nearly worn out. Dr. Baker had been^there the day before and declared his wife hopelessly insane, aad so lie concluded to send for the police and have her takeu care of. Before the offi cers came she was particularly violont, tearing her olothing nearly off from her vxolrinrr a niltnrV. Officers Skillings and Sylvester came with Turnkey Massure. She fought desperately against being taken away in the wagon. She was taken to the Greeley Hospital. Last evening sho was reported as but litte better. Her husband is much affeoted by this terrible calamity. This couple have been leading rather an unusual life. For the last live or six yoars they have lived and worked togeth er in their little schooner. They have earned a living in various ways, such as lobstering, fishing, buying clams up the bay and bringing them to sell to the packers and carrying small quantities of freight up and down the bay. The woman, despite her ago, was a good hand at pulling lobster traps or hoisting an anchor or sail and standing her trick at the wheel, or in helping her husband as any sailor would. Many a time they have come into the dock in stormy weather with the old woman on the deok, dressed in oil clothes and rub ber boots, like a man. It was rather difficult yesterday to find out much about their antecedents. It was learned that for the last two or three winters they have lived in the schooner in one of tho docks. It was declared bv several of those along tho wharves that the man’s name is not Greenleaf, but that it is David Coffin, and that he changed it to Greenleat; also that this woman is his second wife, that ho mar ried her out west in Montana, and that there is Indian blood in her veins; that he has a son by his first wife, who went west with him, that he owns a snug farm and buildings in Freeport, and that he brought this second wife homo with him to the farm about five or six yoars ago. His business was on tho water in the sohooner, and she found it so lonesome on the farm that she would not stay there, and insisted on going with him in the boat. They both preierred this kind of life to living on the farm. As far as any one knew that could be Been yesterday, they have lived very oomfortably together in the boat, and seemed to be very fond of each other. The woman’s insanity was thought to be the result either of a natural tendency or of so much rough work and exposure, due to her peculiar manner of life. It was also stated that the man had an aged motner in rreeport who is very 111 at the present time. As if this wasn’t enough misfortune for the poor fellow, a man, who apparently knew, told the PRESS reporter recently that this Cap tain Greenleaf or Coffin, as they all call him on the wharves, has a brother Wil liam, who was a caulker in Knightville, but who changed his name to Morse and went away to New Hampshire with his wife, and that neither his brother or his aged mother in Freeport, who is 91 years old, have heard a word from him for ten mouths, though they have writ ten to him. It is stated this brother Wil liam has been thus alienated from his family by a spiritualist. The couple wiio live in tire boat and Do whom so much misfortune has recent ly come, are very religious people, and always when in port attond very regular ly at the meetings of the Sail Left, and Salvation Army and other places. SOME STEALING. Jimmy MoCraw, an old man, who used to be a oaulker in this city, came down here from Gloucester on the sloop Mary A., Captain Ha agett, last Saturday night. Tuesday night he broke into the cabin of the sloop and stole CaptaiD Haggett’s watch. He pawnod it for sixty cents, and spent it for drink. Ho was arrested and the watch recovered. He was before the court yesterday morning and sentenced to sixty days in jail. William Dugan says that there is alto gether too much stealing going on along Commercial wharf now-a-days. A short time ago somebody tried to break into Alpheus Sterling’s fish house, but failed, and Tuesday night somebody stole some of his (Dugan’s) sardines and herring that he had stored in the fish house that was formerly occupied by E. G. Sterling. About 0 p. m. Tuesday. Joe Silva, Every season brings a new crop of congh remedies, Dut they cannot com pete with that grand, old Dr. Hull’s Cough Svrup. A man may dress as well as his own good taste, judg ment and the assist ance of an artistic tailor may eject. He may take his “tubs” as regularly as the most conscientious water cure doctor may dictate; but if his digestive organa are out of order, he will have an un wholesome appear ance. His complex ion and the white of his eyes will have a yellowish cast. His tongue will be coated, appetite poor, his teeth rusty, his breath abomin able. He is one big, unmistakable sign of constipation. Worst of all, his temper is as ugly and unwholesome to live with as is his person. A man who ha9 the least appreciation of what he owes his family and friends, to say nothing of him self, will make an effort for health. The quickest, surest, easiest way is to take Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They are made of refined, concentrated vegetable extracts. Nothing in the least harmful enters into their composition. They hunt down all impurities, and “make them move on.” They are the product of many years’ study and practice. Dr. Pierce can not afford to put forth a worthless or a spurious article. Send for a free sample. If you would know yourself and the Doctor better, send 21 cents in one-cent .stamps, to pay for w’rapping and postage only, and get his Common Sense Medical Adviser—1008 yages profusely illustrated. Address, World’s Dispensary Med ical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. 44 For sometime I had used Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets for constipation with most satisfactory re sults. The winters have always been very' hard on mv husband. He too tried the ‘Pellets.* They have made a new man of him. We have used in all, six bottles.” Yours truly, North Parma, Monroe Co., N. Y« who works in Lombard’6 fish house, saw a man nainod Curtis come down the wharf. When he saw Silva looking at him he stepjied into an alley way be tween the buildings. Before he went in he had a parcel in his hands, and when he came out he had nothing. Silva was out of sight when he came out, but was watching him from a win dow. He v out down the wharf and peered around the building as if to seo that the coast was clear. Silva went across the street and found a meal bag, rolled up and left on a door sill. Then he went home. Later in the evening he heard that a quantity of Dugan’s sar dines and herring hud been stolen. Ho immediately put two and two togother and oouoluded that the man ho had watched a short time before might have something to do with it. He felt surer the next morning when the young man who drives a team for Cushing McKen ney on the same wharf and that early that morning he had seen that same man named Curtis going alongJNlonuniont street with a bag over his shoulder, evi dently,from the looks, containing quanti ties of small boxes. A BIG SMELT. A young man named McDonald of Peaks Island, caught in a drag net, down the bay, Tuesday,a remarkably big smelt that weighed 7 1-2 ounces. There was another one that weighed nearly four ounces. A smelt that weighs nearly a half pound is a curiosity indeod. Fish ermen of much experience along the wharves, say that never before did they hear of such a big smelt. The average smelt weighs less than two ounces. A BULLY PUNISHED. The bark Ella, one of the old Lewis “White Line,” arrived Tuesday night with nine hundred tons of salt from Trapani for Lord Bros. She was sixt.y me days on till passage, whioh is pretty long. Captain Sinnett said that ho had good weather up to the last three weeks, iml during that time from Bermuda up, lie had had very bad weather. Yesterday morning there was quite a deroo fight among the sailors on board the bark. It seems that one of them is i big Englishman, who has been acting the part of a bully during the voyage, and who, yesterday, did so pick upon and abuse one of the smallest and mildest men ot the crow that finally the little fel low blazed forth in righteous wrath and went for the bully and gave him a ter rific beating. The bully’s head and face were covered with bruises and blood, and cue resr oi uie crow wore giuu oi id. UNLOADING STEEL RAILS. Some fourteen hundred steel rails, weighing five hundred and twenty tons, were being discharged from the Allan liner Numidian yesterday. They were did one at a time down an iron trough ittached to a gang plank placed at a steep incline against the vessel. Every rail weighs about eight hundred pounds, md thoy canio with a wickod rush and ingry rattle, bringing clouds of sparks 'rom the iron trough down which they ravelled. If the man who was stationed o check their speed by throwing a block >t wood under each rail, as soon as it 1 ■cached the foot of the gang plank, failed ;o do so, the rail kept on its course 1 icross the floor of the shod and dashed 1 hrough the wall on the further side, mrsting through the boards as though hey were so much paper. The men i leed to be extremely cautious to escape 1 jeing hurt.
