CATHEDRAL READING RooM.-At meeting
of the Cathedral Association of st. Luke's
Parish last week, it was resolved to open
reading room for the parish and attendants at
the Cathedral, in the room generally known as
the chapel" on the north side of the chancel.
The room itself is a very pleasant and conven-
lent one, opening into the church, and entered
from the principal porch, which is always open
through the day. As a beginning, it is sup
piled with some twenty-five or thirty newspa-
pers and periodicals, religious, secular and
other books and pamphlets of current interest
A small, but well-selected and quite valuable
reading library is in the same room. Facilities
for writing as well as reading are provided.
The room is to be open daily from 81 a. M, to
81 p M, one or more of the clergy or members
of the congregation being in attendance every
evening. Although opened at season of the
year when the open air is to many more attrac
tive than any indoor amusement, the reading
room will be appreciated, no doubt, more and
more as it becomes better known, as means
of spending an evening both usefully and
pleasantly. The committee of the Association
in charge of the reading room are Messrs w.
H. Clifford James E. Prindle andIH w. Bry-
ant, Mrs. Geo. +. Shepley, Mrs. j. A. Merrill,
Misses Neal and jackson.
Observation-Disclosures broke into the store of
Harmon & Lewis on the corner of Congress
and Brown streets Wednesday night, and stole
eight dollars worth of railroad tickets, about
twelve dollars in money and some other arti-
cles, amounting in the whole to $50. An en-
trance was effected through real window.
The rascals appear to have been very deliber-
ate in their movements, stopping to eat a pine
apple and smoke several cigars. There were
no shutters to the front windows, and it is a
wonder they were not de tected. The robbery
is thought to have occurred about eleven
o'clock. Tie window of Demons tin store, a
little farther up Congress street, was broken in
the same night, and about twenty dollars worth
of wares taken.

DESKS, SHOW CASES, AND SAFES.
f. o. Bailey & Co. make splendid show O.
desks of all patterns in the space just front Of
the platform. These styles range from the
truly imperial roll top desk to the plain table
desk, and embrace the Sawyer pattern and
other favorite styles The roll top desk on ex-
hibition is the finest specimen OF desk ever
seen in Portland. 1t is fashioned from black
walnut, with beautiful French walnut pam
els and is model of beauty and convenience.
1t was sold yesterday to the Warren Thread
Company, to be placed in the Merchants Elk
change at Worcester. These desks al Q great
favorites in the markt t, and six have been sold
during the progress of the Exhibition. The
ether designs are very fine, and we'll adapted
to either the parlor or the counting room. The
Sawyer pattern is an admirable affair." This
firm started the manufacture of desks about
eighteen months ago, and the business has rap
idly increased. Last month the sales exceeded
$4,000. They also manufacture show cases in all
the approved styles. About twenty of these
are in use in the hall, and attract very general
attention by their convenience and beauty of
make and finish They also exhibit in the cor
ridors three of the celebrated Hall Safe and
Lock Company Safes, which are coming into
such general use in all our large cities. These
safes are the finest ever put into the market,
and are marvels of workmanship. The bur-
glar and fireproof safe near the entrance to
City Building weighs four tons, and attracts
the attention of all visitors. 1t has three of
Halls patent locks, locks which no burglar
has ever yet been able to force. The dove-tail
work and concealed bolts in the burglar box
are specialties of these safes, being patents OF
the inventor and utterly defy all efforts to
break them. Yesterday morning safe was
placed on exhibition, sold to the Portland
Packing Co., and specially decorated for them.
There is no safe in the State which approaches
it in beauty of decoration. Upon the outer
door are pictures of two of the Companys fac
tories, and fine representation of an Indian
in canoe gathering corn. Upon the inside of
the outer door are four more of their factories.
Upon the inside doors are cuts representing
fruits, Holsters, and fish, and other articles
canned by the Company, and the four medals,
received at several worlds fairs. Bailey s.
Company were recently appointed agents for
these safes, and have sold forty within a short
time. We advise merchants and onr citizens
generally to carefully examine these safes, with
the great merits of which they cannot fail to
be impressed.
