Last evening at 6 O'Clock Prof. Fred.

great July Saengerfest, which our local

their proficiency In the songs to be sung in
the grand chorus. The Professor expressed
himself as we'll satisfied with the manner
in which the societies acquitted them
selves, but did not pass formal Judgment,
he only reporting to headquarters at Buf-
falo, where selections will afterwards be

Ky. Track Completed.

The work OF connecting the track OF the
Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Kentucky rail
road east Of the freight depot with the ex-
tension running along the water front on
the South Side, which has been under way
since early Monday morning, was completed
yesterday afternoon, and trains can now be
run from the main line at Fourteenth
street south to the end of the extension
without passing through the freight depot,
as they have heretofore been compelled to
do. A considerable change in the grade
was necessary, a cut extending from Four.
teenth street to the south end Of the depot
being made in order to obtain a uniform
grade. This cut is fully three feet deep at
the south end. and unless a railing or pro-
lection of some kind is put up will be apt
to wreck some team n of these dark
nights. The earth taken from the cut was
dumped over the trestle south Of the bridge.

Ancient Landmark Lodge of Masons, locat
ed in Portland, has published its history, edited
and printed by Stephen Berry 1t makes
han dsome octave volume of 204 pages, besides
tile page and table of contents sThe text of
the history takes up 120 pages, to which are
added roll of officers (six pages) roll of men,
bers 90 pages) an alphabetical list of men,
bers giving the number of each on the roll (12
pages, and an excellent index to the body of
the work.
The troll Of members gives the dates when
each took the several degrees and other par
ticulars of interest," making in many cases a
concise biographical sketch.
In one respect the editor labored under se-
rious difficulty. The records of the lodge for
forty-seven years were burned in the great fire
If 1856, and had it not been for the provident
care of his venerable father, in making, while he
was Secretary of the Lodge an abstract of the
records, it would have been impossible to
write the history Of the lodge. With this abb
s.ract as guide the editor has, with great dill
gence and labor, obtained the materials for an
exceedingly interesting and valuable history
As the lodge was organized in 1906, the his
tory covers space of time, during which ex-
| citing and important events happened. The
embargo, the war of 1872, the 'Morgan dark
days" business revulsions, the late war, and
the great fire." all had more or less effect up
| on the lodge.
The editor gives brief sketch of Masonry in
| Portland prior TO 1906, containing many inter-
| esting facts and incidents. The more impor-
tant events in the history of the lodge are mar
| rated in vivacious but concise style.
| One of the most important features of the
| work is the large number of biographical
| sketches of leading members.
| While this history is exceedingly interesting
| to the members of the lodge aud the descen-
| dants of former members, il is very valuable to
the general reader, especially if interested in
| the history of our city JHD

The Funeral of Lincoln Stevens.

Every inch of standing ground was occupit 4
on the sad occas ion of the funeral of the above
named young man at his fathers residence on
Merrill street yesterday. The service was
conducted by Rev. George D. Lindsay, and
music was rendered by quartette consisting
of Mrs. Chase, Mrs. Goudy, Mr.. Watts and
Mr.. Thurstou.
Portland has not lost young citizen for
long time who is more widely and sincerely
regretted The deceased possessed such ex-
cellent traits of character as naturally endeared
him to those with whom he came in contact
Letters of sympathy have been coming to the
sorrowing parents from all directions, and the
neighbors and friends have done, and are
doing all they can to assuage their grief and
administer consolation.
Lincoln attained his majority on the End day
of this month, and preparations were being
made by the family to celebrate the day which
qualified him to take part in the political
affairs OF his co0ntry, i'll an interesting and
pleasant manner, but aasi for human hopes,
on that day be was in delirious condition.
The following selections were rendered in a
style both artistic and soulful by the singers

Capt Dennison of the City of Richmond,
says there is no ruth in the statement furnish
ed yesterdays PRESS, that the passengers of
the steamer cut her way out of the ice. He
says there were three sbipmasters among the
passengers, and they did assist the vessels
crew, together with number of citizens of
Castine. The saloon passengers stayed in the
saloon and did no work. IL was shipmaster
who made the statement published ia the
Press, and Mr.. Day, agent of the line here,
also states he understood that some Of the pas
sengers assisted. 1t is probable there was a
misunderstanding on both sides and that the
passengers who assisted, as Capt Dennison
states. were the three shipmasters.

Land Of he Midnieht sun.

Mr.. Harry W. French has kindly consented
to devote the proceeds of his lecture on "The
Land of the Midnight Sum- to be given at
City Hall tomorrow evening to the Longfelow
Statue Association. Mr. French's course of
lectures, delivered lately in this city, are
guarantee of the enjoyment which will be de-
rived from this one. The tickets are selling
well at Stockbridges, and parties who have
not secured them should purchase at once.
The Brooklyn Eagle says: "Mr. Harry W.
French, last evening, began his course OF Illus
trated lectures in the. Brooklyn Tabernacle 2The
the me of the opening lecture was 'The Land
of the Midnight Sum-" and the high reputa
tion which Mr.. French enjoyed in other cities
was fully justified by the encomiums of the
vast audience, which completely filed the Tab
ernacle. The entertainment was regarded by
everyone present as one Of the most delightful
they had ever witnessed, and the general YER
dict was that the dssolviDg views with which
the lecture was copiously illustrated we're su
perior to any ever exhibited in this city The
polar world was presented in most fasoinat-
iDg manner, with the aid of over eighty dis
solving views, many of them exhibited by a
three lens stereopticoD, producing the most
natural and realistic effects. The pictures
however, were Lot the oDly charm of the en-.
tertainment, for Mr.. French accompanied
them with graphic and brilliant descriptions of
scenery and life in the Northern regions, and
in most eloquent and pleas ng manner The
effect OF the lecture was to leave most vivid
impression on the minds of the hearers Of the
sceLes through which he had led them.''

'CHANGEs OF FASHION,
In no instance of change in fashion of house
hold furnishings has the contrast been so
marked as in crockery ware, although walls,
ceilings, curtains ara furniture coverings have
changed from light % dark shades. White is
cold, snowy and cheerless, and colors, If har
monized, are very effective in interior decora-
stlons. The Gsntennial World S Fair, in Phil
adelphJa, marked this change from white TO
colored, and one of the managers of that ex-
hibition says: The revival of the cid blue will
low croekery ware by Miss Southwick, who
had charge OF the New England kitchen,
awakened an extraordinary interest in that
article, and many women, who saw the quaint
old table ware of her grandmother's day,
could hardly rest without securing some speci-
MEMS The resources of Miss Southwick we're
severely taxed to supply even single plate,
cup or saucer to take home as souvenir. She
received her supply from JONES' cDufie &y
Stratton, of Boston, who fortunately had
stock of this peculiar ware. The handsome
exhibits of leading English manufacturers,
with the Japanese displays, excited admira-
steadily increased and displaced the old white
crockery. The great demand for these goods
encouraged the dealers to carry stocks of the
decorated patterns SO long in use in Europe,
and today they make a speciality of them.
Competition among the great potteries of Staf-
fordshire has reduced prices of tho attractive
printed sets, now so much in use, down almost
to the value of ordinary white ware
