Martin Washiugton Society.

The annual meeting OF the Martha Wa sh-
ington Society was held yesterday afternoon.
The Secretary presented the following as the
34th annual report:
This society for the year last past has beld
forty weekly meetings with an average attend
ance of fourteen-the largest number in at
tendance at any one meeting being thirty. We
have now about one hundred and fifty names
ON our subscription list, although our active
members amount to only about one-fourth of
that number. During the year several new
members have been added to our number, and
one has passed on to the spirit life, Mrs. q. Ell.
Lunt. She was for many years member of
the society and ever active in the abodes of pow
erty and distress, and by her rem oval we have
lost one of our mostsvalued members.
Since our last annual report we have also to
record the departure to the other world of sew
eral of our sabscribers-Mrs. Shurtleff, Mrs.
Tucker Mrs. Loring and Mrs. Sabine.
In answer to applications made during the
year we have distributed to the worthy and
needy poor Sc pairs of shoes and rubbers, 16
pairs hose, 5S4a yards factory cloth, AZ yards
wooden dress goods, 20 yards SILICA, 70 yards
wool flannel, 17a yards cotton flannel, 432 yards
print, 6a yards thick goods for boys wear, 20
ready made new garments, 20 hats, 3 quilts,
| pairs mittens,1 skein yarn and $3.50 10 money.
Probably there never wasaa time in Portland
when the poor had stronger claims for charity
| than at the present. The unusual depression
of business has thrown hundreds out of en-

Gent aud we could only partially supply the

US in the past for continuance of their favOrs
the coming winter
| To one and all who have in any way contri-
buted to the benefit of the society, we would
present our grateful acknowledgements, and
especially would we thank the proprietoIs of

JUBILEE SINGERS. Sheppard Jubilee
Singers made their second appearance in this
city at City Hall last evening. Like their first
appearance they had an excellent house. The
programme was much the same as the one
used by them at the Museum. This did moi
detract from the interest of the concert, how
ever, for people never tire of hearing these old
slave songs sung by an original slave troupe
Their voices have peculiar sweetness which
we do not notice in the professional singers
Their number has been increased since herr
last and they now number three male and foul
female voices. They are always sure of good
house when they visit Portland.

Considerable distress would ofsen be pre-
vented to parties who meet with misfortune
through the loss of their all by fire if they en-
acted the necessary prudence of insuring their
real estate or personal property. When the
modest percentage necessary for the amount
so insured is taken into consideration, (the
saving of few dimes now and then will pay
it, the person who is neglectful or haz lrdous
certainly has little claims to sympathy in case
of loss. That we have reliable hre insurance
companies in our midst none can deny, and
we have no hesitation in saying to those who
have not as yet insured to call at the Arling-
ton Fire Insurance Company for the District of
Columbia, No. 1905 Pennsylvania avenue,

cies can be obtained at equitable rates, and
prompt payment of losses guaranteed.

lieyes you instantly, and cures You quicker
than any known plaster, iniment or CON-

vegetable, contain DO mineral or metallic
poisons. Their composition and properties are
founded upon true medical skill, and are in
no sense patent medicine. They are In
