Death of Dinan Roberts.

The death of Hon. Diman Roberts sof Ly-
man, occurred very suddenly at about sunset
Monday evening. He attended to business as
usual through the day and while employed in
the closing work of the day, without a mo-
ment's warning, fell and died instantly The
cause is supposed to have been heart disease
Mr.. Roberts was about 10 years of age and has
led busy and very useful life. He has been
largely identified with public affairs in this
section of the state and all his duties have been
met with wisdom and sterling integrity Mr..
Il. leaves wife, son and daughter at the
homestead, and two married daughters away.
His loss is not to them alone, but to the many
accustomed to his advice and sympathy, to the
town and county and to the Congregational
church, of which for many years he was
worthy member, and for whose interest he was
ever on the alert

Cooperative Dress Association

The Cooperative Dress Association recently
formed in New York city, is meeting with the
most brilliant success. and reports from head
quarters assure the stockholders that the great
benefits they are sure to receive will soon be
within their reach. The stock has been in
such demand that though only 1850 shares
were offered for subscription, 5,467 persons ap-
piled for IA ,675 shares. Solid business men
have been elected directors, and they have
recognized the great services of Miss Kate
Field in this undertaking, by making her the
President of the association. Certificates of
stock will soon be issued and it is expected
that the establishment will be in operation by
September. Those of our citizens who were so
fortunate as to secure a subscription will be
glad to hear Of the complete success of this

May Party and Ancient Customs

The May festival to be given by the ladies of
ST. Lukes Cathedral at City Hall to-day is at
tracing attention, even in Boston, as witness
the following from the Post;
Portland often surprises us. Among the
latest novelties is a May party to be given un-
der the patronage of the ladies connected with
the Cathedral church of st. Luke. Among
other attractions there is to be procession of
persons representing ancient May customs in
different parts of England. The old Moorish
or Morris dances, though undoubtedly origi-
mating in Spain, formed part of the May fes-
tivities in several countries in England during
the sixteenth and seventeenth centurses, es-
pecially maid Marion The Piper and the
wonderful Hobbyhorse have become of historic
interest. The Lord and Ladies of May are of
no less certain antiquity. Jacks in the Green,
though dating from last century, are to be
seen in this day in different parts of London
during the first week in May. 1t would hard
ly be fair to betray secrets, but in the little
paper to be brought out even journalism may
learn that there is something new under the
sun. At any rate, if there is, these Portlnnd
ladies will be likely to find it out.
The afternoon entertainment will be given
for the children. The evening for both adults
and children

The Citizens Relief.

AT the last monthly meeting of the Citizens
Mutual Relief Society it was suggested that in
cases where profigate and unprincipled men,
bers might neglect to pay their dues to the So
ciety. or where they should abandon and leave
their families without support, and the wife or
the children see fit to contribute money to pay
their dues to keep their membership alive, that
the society should not allow the benefits to be
perverted from the relief of the wife and the
children who have thus contributed.
The following amendment to the Bylaws
was accordingly offered and will come up at
the May meeting:
"The directors shall have power to prohibit
member from assigning his benefits to any
other person. object or corporation than the
wife or children in such cases as they or either
of them have contributed money to pay the
assessments necessary to maintain his beneficial
membership in the society,"

overs

splendidly and no mistakes worthy of mention
occurred. The drill was without exception the
best the company has yet given and was evil
