To our Patrons.

For several years pass, the newspaper read
ing public of this city has complained and just.
ly that the daily papers lost large part of
their value by being delivered too late in the
morning. Recognizing the justice of this COM
plant, though our machinery was new only
three years previous, and was then the fastest
in the state, we last year invested large
amount in double cylinder press of nearly
twice the speed of our old one. Our sole OBJ
ject in this purchase was to meet the wants of
the public and especially of that class who be-
gin their labors at Z o'clock. Our greater speed
enables us to wait for the latest Geographic
news, and yet to deliver our papers earlier than
would be possible for single cylinder press.
During the coming season the PRESS will be
left at the dwelling houses at or before 81
o'clock. Sometimes, though very rarely, there
may be slight delay (as on Saturday, when
the last part of the edition was delayed by the
heating of one of the journals of the machin-
ery.) We shall consider it favor if our sub
scribers will inform us when their papers fail
to reach them at the proper time.
Since papers are sometimes not received,
when, from the character of the carrier, we
feel confident they were delivered, we are in
duced to offer $25 reward for evidence which
will convict any person of the theft

A FRAUD.-Musc FL all was we'll filled last
evenir g by mixed audience to witness spirit
manifestations in the light, but they were sadly
disappointed and showed it in shouts and yells
as the Entertainment" progressed. The me-
dunn was introduced as "Mr. T. Warren, one
of the most powerful mediums in the wor d"
The man who run the show said he did not
claim that the feats performed were done by
spirit power, but all could judge for themselves
at the close This was pretty bold, considering
that the show was advertised to be spiritual
demonstrations.
The medium put himself into q small cabi-
net and tied himself and then played the quit
ar, &c. An officer handcuffed him, but he re-
fused to have the handouts put on behind him.
In this condition he put on and took off his
coat But the manager objected to passing
the coat to the audience. Several believers
went into the cabinet and told what wonders
they experienced, but one intelligent mechanic
who went in denounced the whole thing as a
humbug, and said the medium performed all
the feats with his right hand. 1t was promised
that the cabinet should be taken down before
the audience, but it was not DONE 1t is not
necessary to attempt to explain how the tricks
were performed, as there are several men in
the city who can do much better ones.
The audience treated the show with the
greatest contempt, and it was with difficulty
that they were Ike pit from breaking it up.

STATE STREET CHAPEL-The spelling
match last night at State street chapel was at
tended by a good audience who quite filled the
chapel, which is one of the best audience rooms
in the city. Clarence Hale was spelling mas
ter and S. Fl. McAlpine and Charles j. Chap
man were umpires. The first exercise was by
scholars from the Grammar School, twenty or
less of whom took their places on the seats at
the head of the chapel facing the audience
and, after the first round of easy words, went
down after spelling "dullset'', "stucko",
s'glashul', "giding", and few kindred words,
in each of which the umpires persisted in de-
Gliding on different form as correct, and which
was derived from the big volumes OF Worces.
ter and Webster lying on the table before them.
Miss Laura A. Jones was the victor in this
match, and received the prize of a gold dollar.
The second trial which was open to any of
the audience who chose to spell, was stoutly
contested, the spoilers having to face the
toughest words in the English language,
among which were many of those given out in
the recent match in the City Hall. "Centen-
airy" finally finished Mr.. Waite, who was one
of the two last leftIstanding, and Mr.. Chas ii.
Payson received the prize.
An old fashioned spelling class, the main
feature of which was the celebrity with which
the members alternated between the head and
the foot, closed the match, which was one of
the funniest of the season. The knottiest words
in the language were given to this cla7s, and
the victor was one of our prominent citizens,
who insisted on spelling horse ''hoss," and was
declared not to have missed but twenty-one
words in Succession. Thus ended the "Ortho
gramania' of the season.

fitting commemorative services which custom
has established, and that no resting-place of a
patriot soldier will prove so secluded as to be
unvisited and unlocked by comrade or friend

The highest considerations of morality and
patriotism move us to honor the memory of our
fellow-countrymen, who illustrated some Of
the noblest qualities of humanity, and to pre-
serve their example that iu death as in life

hearts must indeed be as cold as death can
make them when they cease TO warm to the
memory of our brothers, and to prompt to
demonstrations of respect and affection.

and even standing room was at premium.
The little woman must have felt that she had
abundant proof of the kindly regard in which
she is held by the people of Portland.
Miss Chippendale's first appearance was the
signal for very. warm applause, which grew
into storm before the close of the SHADOW

calls she appeared before the curtain at the
close of the first act. Several huge bouquets

effectively portrayed. The support by Miss

cess OF his agency during 1874, thus showing
that the Equitable must be exceedingly popu-

We also notice that nearly one-fourth of all
the life business transaced in the state by
thirty three companies was done by the Equis-
able, that is, that it did nearly eight times the
average amount of all the companies combined.
1t does not seem so strange that men prefer
