The BALCONY.

Loring, Short & Harmon have received the
latest Rogers group, entitled The Balcony. A
lady in balcony is supporting her little boy,
who is dropping over the railing piece OF
money into the hat of one of the street musi-
clans below, while the girl with the tambour-
inc is making dog sit up and balance some
thing on his nose The dog is the representa-
tive of an animal that has pedigree. When
the late Governor Clifford of Massachusetts
was in London a few years ago, prominent
member of the Queens household learning
that one of the ladies of the party wished to
get real Scotch terrier, presented her with
pure blooded animal from the.royal collection.
The dog was thoroughly trained and among
his accomplishments was that of sitting upon
his hind legs, with piece of meat on his nose,
and not offering to stir, no matter how long he
was kept in that uncomfortable and tantaliz-
ing position. Mr.. Rogers, who is relative,
knowing that fact secured Quiz as model
and the dog furnished sttings as long as was

The Diet Mission.

The Diet Mission which for the past two
wears has been associated with the Woman's
Temperance Society, as committee of that
excellent organization, has recently organized
as an independent society. 1t is believed that
need exists in the community, sufficient to
warrant such step, and the new society trust
fully appeals to benevolent public for sup
port.
Its primary object is to provide food for the
respectable and industrious people, who in
health, are able to provide for themselves, but
who are not able to meet the added demand on
their resources, which sickness brings. To all
such, the Mission extends most cordial invi-
tation, to send her word of their necessities.
The arrangement which has just been made,
by which rooms have been secured at private
house. in a central location, will make 1t posi-
BILE for the work to be carried on with much
delicacy and reserve. Applications should be
endorsed by some physician and will be at
once attended to.
But to the churches must the Diet Mission
look for aid in this special ministry which the
Master has delegated to his followers "Verl-
ly, say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done 1t
unto one of the least of these, my brethren. ye
have done it unto me-"
If every family will give of their abundance
to the Diet Mission three days in one week in
the year, its ability for extending succor to the
afflicted will be great. Herein is shown the
beauty of organized effort. Individually, we
can do almost nothing towards alleviating the
sum of human misery; collectively, we can do
great deal. Ladies have been appointed as
members of the supply committee from every
church in town, which, it is believed, is in
condition to help, and they will call upon the
members of the congregation and explain the
method of work and solicit membership.
Persons can become members who will prom
Use to give food, cooked or uncooked, at stated
times, to the Mission, or who will pay the an
nual due of one dollar. of course, money Is
much needed, and the directors will be very
glad to receive any sums from benevolent peo-
pie. Contributions in meats, vegetables, ap-
pies, cranberries potatoes, rice, tea, sugar, etc.
will be most thankfully received and expend-
ed according TO the best Judgment OF the
Mission. All stores should be sent to the house
of the Misses Kilbourne, % Spring street.
The following are the officers OF the Mission
President-Mrs. C. H. Burr.
Vice President-Mrs. Bion Bradbury.

important Decision.

The Supreme Court of Maine, in the case oil
Elnora Parsons VS.. Inhabitants of Monmouth,
hold that the plaintiff cannot recover on
town note given her by VIM. Brown, Treasur-
er. for the reason that no officer of town has
the authority to issue note in behalf OF the
town, without the express permission OF the
town in it's corporate capacity.
Neither can towns borrow money and issue
notes of commercial character for the execu-
ton of their ordinary business, unless expressly
or implicitly authorized by the statute. Towns
are creatures of the statute, and find their du-
ties and powers there specified. The general
financial officers of towns frequently draw Or
ders upon the treasurers for the payment Oh
some legitimate Indebtedness of the town, but
such instruments are never vouchers 1of the
treasurer's disbursements, and though ire
quently made negotiable in form and therefore
havinS the quality of negotiability SO far as to
authorize the holder other than the payee 10
bring his action in his own name II occasion
requires, still they are in nowise commercial ,a
| paper free from equitable defences Ill 'he
| hands of bona tide indorsers -,
The court say the facts reported utterly ian
! to show that the money received Dy bI De, y
| from the plaintiff ever went for the beneht OF
| the town; but from the testimony OF brown
| himself we feel confident that 1t Went IN part
| to make up what he calls the Slz,o0 myS
| terry" but which the statute denomlnates EN-
| beZzement"- II LeWiSton Journal.

KATE CLAYTON.
Kate Claxton and her selected company will
appear at Portland Treater tonight in ''The

says
Miss Kate Claxton, the well-known actress,
appeared last night at Mr.. Albaugh's Helli-
day street Theatre in the new play, "The
Double Marriage" dramatizaton of Charles
Reade's 'White Lies" supported by her own
company The setting of the play was COM
mendable, and its general performance excel
lent. The evenness of the whole rendering
was charmingly commendable. No one char
acter was too prominently brought forward,
but each dove-tailed with the other as appro-
priately as refreshingly Miss Claxton's Jos
ephine was finely played. She has, above all
other merits, pathos of voice, of gesture and
of facial expression, that appeals most strongly
to the feelings of an audience in play of this
character The Dujardin of Mr.. Charles
Stevenson was quietly, naturally, and hence
admirably played.

departments OF trade easily accessible from
this line Also to afford transportation to
persons employed in manufactures and
trade all over the city, and who need subur-
ban homes. And also to establish commun-
ication between the business portion of the
city and lands which are still vacant, al
though living within the city limits, and
which are pleasant, attractive and desirable
as places of residence for persons of sub
stantial means The financial interests of
the CITY requires this extension because the
CITY owns As acres of unimproved and I'M
profitable land on the South side of Con-
gress street sufficient for some three or four
hundred houselots, all of which are want
ed and can be sold for building purposes, as
soon at the Congress Street line is complet-
ed. The horse railroad company have
voted to accept and run the road when fin
ished. Citizens of the vicinity are ready
to pay one half or more than one half OF the
cost of constructing the extension. The
CITY, as represented by the boards of Alder
men and Councilmen, propose to do what
any intelligent owner of land in the same
situation would be glad to do; viz, contrib
ute some 3 or out ST 300 or more house
lots, or the proceeds thereof, for the further
ance of an enterprise which will vastly
| enhance the value OF the bulk OF their real
| estate in that vincinity.
| Two considerations only we will add to
| an article already too long. We claim that
this extension is nearer approach to a
straight line than any complete line of rail-
| road in the city. The only considerable
curve, that at the head Of Weymouth street
| is not as sharp as the curve on Congress
street at the head of High street, and &C.
| ours where the inclination is not abrupt.
The grade of Congress street for distance
| of 521 feet east of the east line of Washing
ton street is $3.50 feet per hundred feet.
The grade of Congress street for distance
of $50 feet from the east line of Forest
Street is 5, 451 feet per hundred feet.
So that this, which is the geatest inclna-
| ton to be overcome on the Congress street,
extension, is less by more than half foot
in one hundred feet, than the inclination of
| the section east of Washington street over
which cars are constantly passing
