KNfGHTvILLE.-The neat little village of
KnIghtville has long felt the need of hall for
religious and other meetings, AMI for Sabbath
School. The ladies of that place have
taken the matter in hand and have organized a
society for the purpose of obtaining a suitable
building. We hope they will meet with sue

Sixteenth Annual Report 81 the t1anagars
of thr Homo for AGED Women.

~ anr S1Omc IOr ASeS " OMeus
Since our last meeting our Association has
been authorized, by Legislative enactment to
take the name OF "Home for Aged Women
instead of the longer and less expressive title
by which it has heretofore been known.
By the rules of the Association the Home is
open, on payment of fee of 500, to women
of sixty years OF age and upwards, residents
of Portland for the ten years preceding their
application for admission, who shall bring sat
isactory evidence of good character, are una
BILE to support themselves and are deprived of
friends who can or will contribute to their sup
port. The number of these helpless persons
(reduced gentlemen, seamstresses, nurses, &c, }
increases with the growth of our city. The
frequent applications for admission that we re-
ceive show that there are many Of these aged
women suffering from actual want, or an I'M
certain prese Mt support with an OverpOwering
fear for the future. The dread that the aims
house will become their last resource is to them
almost as the pangs of death. To relieve them
from these sufferings, mental as well as phvsi-
cal, is the object of our Association
The health OF the inmates of the Home is
A. present, unusually good. They are gener-
ally cheerful and Contented, very grateful for
all kindness shown them and particularly so
tor the comfortably provided for their de-
Ginning years; yet here, as elsewhere, there is
sometimes found one who is not at peace, with
herself or others. The vacancy caused by the
death of Mrs. Rhoda Thompson has been filled,
and our family now numbers the same as at
our last annual meeting. With our present
accommodations we .can admit no more, but
we hope to be in a better situation another
year.
We have purchased a lot of land ION Emery
street, part of the Paris estate.) but have
been advised to postpone building till our sub
scription list has been enlarged. We have not
vet secured sum sufficient to complete such a
house as is needed. We shall continue through
the winter to solicit donations from those
blessed with ample means and comfortable
homes, and trust they will not fail 10 meet us
with hearty response that will enable us to
com mence the work early in the spring, and
complete it before another winter.
We would again present our thanks to all
who have in any way aided in the support Of
the Home. While we regret that we cannet
call them all by name We cannot refrain from
expressing our especial gratitude 20 one benev-
client gentleman "a resident of Boston but
native of Portland, for his generous donation
Of $500 with the assurance Of the same sum as
a permanent addition to our annual income.
Per order of the Board.

The previous statement, it will be remem-
bered, gave only the saving relatively to the
cost Of applying the Improvement, showing
that in one year it would amount to 120 per
cent of the cost. The absolute saving of coal.
it appears, is $50 pounds on 1850, two tens
aud half on twelve and quarter, or little
over one fifth. For concerns using two or three
thousand tons year, as many dc, this would
amount to from four to six hundred tons aunu-
ally, costing at current prices from three to
five thousand dollars-an item worth saving.
But this is not ALL Saturday new test was
applied. The waste heat was measured at the
point where it leaves the boiler, passing into
the chimney, Fahrenheit thermometer regis
tering 400 degrees without using the Blanchard
invention and $50 with it. The saving Of one
fifth of the fuel then is accomplished by saving
152 degrees of heat, which would otherwise be
thrown away. 1t is claimed that the waste can
be reduced by the Blanchard invention to 200
degrees, but let that pass; it is reduced on the
Portland Companys boilers to $50 degrees
But these are very favorable specimens of the
old-fashioned boilers, the waste on most Of
them amounting to more than 600 degrees. At
600 degrees, the saving would be $50, and as
saving of $50 degrees is equivalent to saving
of over 20 per cent of fuel, it follows that
saving of $50 degrees of heat would save over
46 per cent. of fuel 1t does not seem too much
to expect, that on ordinary boilers the saving
by the Blanchard Invention would amount to
fully one half of the ordinary consumption
Besides this direct saving, there is the addi-
tional wear of the boiler obtained by heating
fiually, there is perfect safety from expl osion.
With all these advantages, there can be no
doubt that the improvement is destined to
come into general use.

OLD PLAY BILLs.-We have had few play
bills of the date of July 18th, 18th, 18th and
10Th of July. 1914, handed to us, that if printed
in full in the columns of this Journal, would
no doubt recall to old theatre goers of that date
pleasant recollections. The performances were
given in Union Hall and the company was
from the old fremont Theatre, Boston, with
such names 10 the cast as John Gilbert, Mr..
Cha oman, Mr. Ayling, Mr.. G. Howard, Mes
danes Gilbert johnson, Ayliog and Cramer,
with old honest Tom Conner as leader OF the
orchestra. What difference in the acting of
those old stock companies and those OF the
present day. There were not az many SO call
ed stars then in the theatrical armament but
more actors. Among the plays presented were
Heir at Law" Married Rake" "Rent Day.
"Bombastes Furioso," etc. Miss Fanny Jones,
the celebrated dansense,' appeared. Front
seats were fifty cents. back seats twenty five

name is Peter Sardi, of Fagarolo, and he

prosecuted him that he was unable to con-
troll himself when this opportunity of
roysnge presented itself.
