Congressman William Pitt kellogg
appears 20 be greatly concerned about
the revelations that Mr.. John A Walsh
has been making before the Springer
Investigating Committee. In an in.
terview published he says that Walsh
is partial lunatic, and that strain OF
insanity runs through his family which
the committee can discOverif they will
only he further diverted from the sub
ject they daily meet to consider. Mr..
Kellogg says that already a member OF
Congress who listened to Mr.. Walsh
has told him that the witness was OF
unsound mind, and would be in the
lunatic asylum within year.
Mr.. Wash. when asked what reply
he had to make, said: g / cannot af-
ford to notice the rawlings of this I'm
fortunate man, for he is already moral
ly convicted, and abuse from him is
the highest decoration that an honest
man can DESIRE" ts.-.. nd.

John A. Walsh testified before the

him '$34 900 or $50, 900 for a loan. The
money was offered him in whole or in
part not less than five times by Brady
or his representatives when he went
10 Washington. In the interest of his
civil suit against Brady, he had retain

The weather Thanksgiving Day was de-
lightful. The skies were blue, the sun shone
brightly and the air was clear and crisp. The
churches drew goodly congregations and many
people went to drive in the afternoon, while
the places of amusement and home parties en-
crossed the attention OF others. As a general
thing ell places of business were closed.
The liberal churches united in service at the
First Parish. Rev. Mr.. Hayden read the
Scriptures Rev. Mr.. Blanchard offered prayer.
The music by the new choir was very fiue.
DR.. Hill took for his text Ephesians ii1:15-
"The whole family in heaven and earth" The
moral effect of family associations was the
prevailing thought.
The Orthodox churches held union service
at High Street Church, Rev. j. NJ. Williams,
officiating. His subject was the church in
America and the prevailing idea that church
and state should not be separated.
There was union service of praise and
prayer at the St. Lawrence Street Church,
conducted by Rev. Messrs. Wright and
Adams, and also prayer meeting at the Coz
pei Mission.
The places OF amusement were all crowded,
both afternoon and evening, and the Portland
Theatre, City Hall and Peoples Theatre, as
well as the skating Kinks, did large business

have as much of 1t as you or your property is

the largest agencies engaged in the business of

of VIM. Allen, Jr., of % Exchange street. Mr..

The Society of Ara.

The regular monthly meeting of the Society
of Art was held Wednesday evening with a
large attendance. The secretary, Mr. Rand,
made brief report of the late exhibition OF
local art showing that it had been the most
successful artistically and financially that the
society had ever held, and that it had been at
tended by over 1900 people, there having been
an attendance Of over 800 people the last day
and evening.
The president mentioned the award of the
medal and pfizss previously announced in the
PRESS. There were nine new members elected
making the total number OF members, at the
present date, 327
The regular meeting was followed by that OF
the Board of Management at which the Board
sanctioned the drawing classes-those Of Mrs.
Kimball and Mr.. Hewes, that of Mrs. Kimball
for Wednesday evening and those of Mr..
Hewes for Monday and Friday evenings, as
we'll as the private class of Miss Shaw taught
by Mrs. Kimball. These classes, togeth OF
with the life classes occupy every evening ex-
cept Saturday which is reserved for the society
uses.
Communica tons were received from several
persons DESTROYS of giving illustrated art
lectures but it was voted inexpedisnt for the
society to assume any financial responsibility
in these matters and the requests were laid
over.
The committee was authorized to purchase
blackboard and such articles as were neces-
sary for the use of the drawing classes, and
authorized new arrangement of lights IN the
work-rooms.
Mrs. Kimball's class was organized with SO
members.
The sccisty will probably be presented by a
member with an elegant stained glass window.

The detachment OF this new, unique ana
energetic organization which has come to our
city to labor for human salvation is getting
into position very rapidly. Thompson Hall on
tbs corner of Middle and Church streets is
now neatly filled up with comfortable chairs
and Is well warmed, lighted and ventilated
A good citizen has made the army present
OF q nice coal stove, funnel and had it set up,
and now all is ready for action. Capt. Gray
aud Lieut.. Adams are in command, with
Cadet Happy Bob and the saved sailor, Charlie
Maddox Of Saco and Mrs. Gray as soldiers
The special work of this organization is among
the poor, the lowly and the outcast, and
most encouraging and even wonderful result
has already been reached in Salem, Lawrence,
Boston, Saco and Biddeford. While some
members of the Christian church may not
greatly favor the peculiar methods adopted
those OF our army militant-yet all most gladly
accept the happy results of conversion, reform
and Christian life which we may observe by
visiting their meetings. 1t is to be devoutly
hoped that many a young mSn and young
woman may yet bless the day when the Saliva
tion Army came to Portland. Let our Chris
ton people lend a helping hand at least not
throw cold water over new, untried, but
promising effort for the salvation of men and
women In our city; and certainly let the city
government protect by our police force their
right Of meeting together unmolested, such as
any other branch OF the church of Christ
enjoys; and probably some citizens who are
entirely without the pale of our religious
organization may also see good reason before
three months have passed for sustai ming, at
least for not opposing, the earnest well meant
efforts of the Salvation Army. We are glad
to hear that three of our clergymen have
visited their hall and expressed their approval
Of the work there demonstrated.
Wednesday Mayor King offered any police
assistance necessary. That evening one man
was converted, and five on Thursday evening.

WHAT INSURANCE DOES.

Without insurance commercial anarchy
would reign, for that confidence which is
essential to prosperous mercantile relations
would be destroyed. As mans discernment
cannot penetrate the future, SO he fears its
revelations, and his only recourse against pos
sible disaster is the firm guaranty of insurance.
Insurance gathers the experience of ths past
and applies it to making the future reasonably
secure. So timidity, which is nstaral when
man carries all his own chances, gives place to
courage when insurance shares with him the
burden. He is no longer compelled to act on
the Observation-Disclosures Defends but, bold
and aggressive, his enterprise is directed in
distant fields to which he would never have
ventured, and reaches ends to which, other
wise, he could never have attained.
Insurance iS the safeguard of traffic. It en-
ables rich man to keep rich and poor man
to count with certainty on his gains and saw
ings. Every year it becomes more OF a neces-
sity and takes higher step in relation to the
commercial world. It endorses for you; it ad-
vances you money to commence anew when all
has been swept away by FIRE; it gives man
feeling of security and encourages a greater
exertion, knowing that his accumulation can
be preserved to him, aad is of sufficient i'm
portance to receive the careful consideration
and sacred thought of every man who wishes
to be regarded as q thorough business man,
exercising care and prudence in all depart
