The New Directory.

The new Portland Directory for 1923 pre-
pared by NJ essrs. w. A. Greenough & Co., and
published by Messrs Brown Thurston & Co.,
will be ready for distribution on Monday, May
22d. 1t will be handsome volume Of about
700 pages, and contains 10, S13 names a net in
crease of 2,739 over the volume for 1881. 1t
represents a careful canvass of very house and
place of business in the city and all the ad-
Joining villages. Great care was used by the
compilers to adopt the legal numbering of the
streets, matter which has been largely
neglected by owners and lessees of buildings,
and this will eventually lead to uniformity of
practice by the citizens A new feature of
the volume is a complete street directory, by
which not only the location of the street can
be- readily ascertained, but the precise loca-
ton of every householder ON it. The only OBJ
lection to this feature is that in restless
community it will sooE become inaccurate
The Directory also has a complete list of all
vessels registered and enrolled in this collec-
ton district, classified department OF all the
trades, professions and pursuits, list of State
and city officers, and officers of some of the ad
Joining towns; also much information in regard
to city departments, business legal, benevo-
lent and philanthropic organizations, churches
and clergymen the names ofall the adults who
have died in this city from March 1, 1884, to
May l, 1882; and the population of the State of
Maine BY towns aad counties. The volume
will be considerably larger than any Of its
predecessors.

Edison,s Most Dangerous Rival.

Simon Philbrook, now resident of Glove
land, Ohio, was school boy at Biddeford
thirty years ago. He claims to have invented
some of the most wonderful machines the
world has ever seen. First among his "great,
est things on EARTH says Cleveland paper
is his drawbridge, which one bridge tender
can swing by simply attaching rope from q
weight power to pulley. Another of his in
yentons is a street railroad car switch, to
switch trains going at any rate of speed with
out delay, simply by touching knob in the
platform with the foot. Then there .is his
wonderful car coupler, to couple all kinds of
cars by the use Of percussion caps. You SIM
ply pull 6 tring on the side of the car, and in
an instant the whole train bumps together and
every car is coupled. Besides all these, Mr..
Phibrook has machine for turning out
grindstones that will do the work of ten men,
All they will have to do now is to lay the
stone ON the lathe, start it going, and the
grindstone comes out complete. That is not
all, either, for Philbrook has invented ma
chine that keeps posts from blowing down. 1t
is post frost can never heaye. The plan is a
great thing for gravestones, too. Philbrook
values this invention at 81 100000, but would
probably take 800 and call it square. Then
he has made gate for railroad crossings that
opens itself on the approach of train. IL a
train is coming, an automatic bell rings, the
gaze swings; when Inc TRAIN Is gone, Dell rings
again, gate closes. Furthermore Mr.. Phil
brock has great scheme for bowling alleys.
Do away with boys entirely. With his nven-
ton all you do is to pull string and the pins
| are stopped il an instant
"What are you making out of these pat.
| ents?" was asked Mr.. Philbrook
Nothing yet. But it's coming. They are
| in the patent Office and 1 wouldn't sell for a
| million. It's like this: will have more men
working more money paid them and more
leisure. That's my great beneficial state poll
cy. My great inventive talents shall assure
| the American mechanics of the eight-hour sys-
tenn Three years from to-day my system will
| be adopted; everything will be changed. / in
| tend to manufacture all the articles L invent,
| If have to live fifty years more to do it,"

Lecture at Congress Hall by May Chap

Lecture at congress Hall py May SnaP-
man.
May Chapman lectured at Congr ess Hall
last evening before large and interested au-
dience on "There are marriages and marriages
that are not marriage" She said, in substance,
that confusion and suffering is necessity to
human progress and by stimulating the mind
to inquire into the nature of things, will work
out more complete existence. The senti-
ment is always in advance of the actual life
Marriages are as true to what they represent
as individuals are true to themselves and to
each other. Happiness is the result OF har-
monious conditions, and individuals were no
m ore to blame for their pecularities of charac-
ter than they for the color of their ha ir and
eyes, and that true marriage is based upon the
adaptation of these qualities to one another.
The fine ought not to marry the coarse, nor
should the strong marry the weak. etc. While
the leading traits ought not to be the same in
both parties each should have sufficient of the
leading traits of the other to make them COM
panionable.
Thes marriage ceremony was merely a con-
tract for the protection Of society. The civil
laws have nothing to do with the motives
which influence marriages or with heart ex-
periences. individuals are influenced too
much by the style and display of superficial
accomplishments, By wealth and position and
tiles as expressive of character, but when they
shall be able to recognize real merit, the VOW
made at the altar will take deeper root in the
heart, because it will be inspired by purer
motive and surer confidence of fulfilment.
Unharmonious parentage results in an unhar
monious if not degraded offering. The cast
of character constitution, etc., are determined
by the conditions of birth and the health and
temperaments of the parents. The parentage
is the grand source of all health, of all virtue
and of all greatness.
The speaker advised separation in those
extreme cases which result in quarres, sui
cides and murders, rather than to have chill
dren born to partake of their inharmonies.
There is a higher law in nature demanding
that parents shall love each other. Many are
out of balance and must remain sufferers for
life because the trammes of birth made it i'm
possible for them to receive fully developed
organization. Phrenology and physiology is
the only standpoint for scientific investigation.
Men and women should be educated upon the
laws which govern marriage and the laws that
govern individual character. Marriage should
not be bondage but bond and the system of
marriage should not be destroyed but purified.
Teach the youth that fidelity is as much a
necessity to perfect manhood as it is to perfect
womanhood Inspire in the Heart true
principle and the actions will spring from purer
motives which will make marriage indeed a
temple of honor.

The Island of Guadalupe

A year ago the Western Land and Live
Stock Company was organized under the laws
of Maine, with a capital of 100000, divided
into 1875 shares, at 81 each. The treasurer
claims the company owns the island of Guada-
lupe, and that it acquired the title from the
Guadalupe Company of San Francisco, of
which Benjamin Flint is the President. This
last named company, he says, got its title hom
the Mexican government.
Juan N. Navarro, Consul General of the Re-
public of Mexico, says there being no proof on
file in the proper Office of the government of
Mexico, of any such transfs r of ownership to
the said island tof Guadalupe from the gov
eminent of Mexico, the go lernment of Mexico
will not allow any one to take possession OF
said island of Guadalupe, without first obtain
ng perfect legal title thereto.
