Elipnalet CLARK.

Dr. Eliphalet Clark, leading homo eopathic
physician of this city and vicinity for many
years, died at his residence at Woodford's, at
S.45 o'clock yesterday morning, after long
sickness.
Eliphalet Clark was born In Strong, May u,
1901, and was 50 years Of age at the time Of
his decesse His father was farmer, one of
the first settlers of that village. Eliphalet was
educated at Pennington Academy, and gradu-
ated at the Medical School, Bowdoin College,
in 1924. He then studied with DIR. Thomas
Little, very eminent surgeon at New Glouc-
ester, and also with DIR. J. L. Blake at Phil
lips. He practiced in Wilton successfully for
five years, and removed to Portland in 1880.
About 1845 he became interested in homeop-
athy and became practitioner of that school,
the pioneer in Maine. To his profession he
was devoted and although often urged to ac-
cept political office, especially 10 become a
candidate for Mayor of this city, he positively
declined. He accumulated large property 10
his profession and, a few years ago, took up big
residence at Pleasant street, Woodford's
Dr. Clark early became identified with
Methodism and the denomination in this
Obdlo owe great u6dl W ulS OhSDNt t@r5ShiO''
and support. He became member at eight
cen years of age, and was leader later IN life
He was the oldest trustees OF the Maine Wes
cyan Seminary and Female College, and not
only gave itliberal donations during his life
but has remembered it in his will. All three
OF the Portland Methodist churches have been
assisted freely by him, and he was, while in
Portland, a member Of the Chestnut Street
society. He bought the land corner Of State
and Pine streets, and sold large part Of il to
the Pine street society, at what he paid for
it, notwithstanding he knew that after they
should take what they needed for the new
church, they could, and did, dispose Of the
rest for enough to pay largely for the new ed
i6ce. He also to great extent contributed
q the erection of the new Methodist church at
Woodford's.
DR.. Clark married Nancy Caldwell of He
bron, in 1927, but leaves no children. He was
good Christian, an excellent physician, and
he will leave large number to mourn the
loss Of benevolent friend and benefactor.

10 The Editor Of Press:
should like TO know, Mr. Editor. If the
city has a right to clean out drains and cul-
verts. leaving huge piles of the foalest smell
ing matter for hours on the streets, in baking
sun. and vitiating the air in the whole neigh
borhood, making residents sick and seriously
affecting those already i'll? Such was the case
yesterday on Congress street, near Dow street.
So carelessly was the work done that horse
car horse slipped In the mess aud fell. 1t does
seem TO me that the stuff, when taken from the
drain should be removed at once, and that q
deodorizsr should be applied es soon as 1t is
brought 10 the surface, as is done in Boston. !
speak feelingly on this subject, and l know |
