Portland Benevolent Society.

The Portland Benevolent Society has been pur-
suing its secret work of charity for over four
score years. SO quietly that the men of this gener
alton have never fully learned its scope and ac-
| ton. The society consists wholly of life members
| and any gentleman may become a life member
| upon the payment of $40. There are no assess
ments; but the members are of course at liberty
to contribute further to the funds, from time to
| time, as they see fit.
The invested funds, and the income and its dis
tribution are under control of a board of mana
gers chosen by the members among themselves,
and constituting at present, are sorry TO say,
large proportion of the members.
The society has an annual address upon some
Sunday evening in December. 1t is to be given
this year next Sunday, by the eloquent pastor Of
the Chestnut street church, and after the address
q collection is taken up. This address is
given in the First Parish meeting house, chiefly
because that has been the custom for so many
years. But the society itself is open to all who en-
roll themselves as life members by the payment of
$40, and is therefore entirely Independent of par
ish lines.
The first object of the society is to give aid
quietly to those who need it, but who are not and
cannot be recipients of public charities that is to
| those who are what are sometimes called "silent-
ly" pinched; those who have known better days
and are reduced; those who are overtaken by
sudden reverses, but do not despair of recovering
themselves; those who are strangers and friend
less, but do not mean ever to become beggars or
paupers.
In city as large as Portland there may always
be found from seventy-ive to hundred such per-
sons, and it is constant source of regret to the
managers of the Portland Benevolent Society that
their funds enable them to give very little help
TO such cases. They feel that if the men of this
city knew what they know, then the number of
those becoming life members would be increased,
the collections at the annual address would be
larger; and the invested funds would be sweled
by direct gifts and by legacies until they were
doubled and doubled again. The following is the
present board of managers:
President-Wm. w. Thomas.
Vice President-Francis X. Swan.
Secretary-Rufus III. Hnkley.
Treasurer-Edward Gould.

Farmer and Money Loaner.

Some Of the farmers are complaining
Of the inequalities existing between
themselves and parties who loan money
on chattels. Many Of our farmers were
compelled to mortgage their crops to
get seed wheat, and when they COM
mence hauling their crop their checks
are marked "cl,attel." Hence they can.
not raise money Oh their checks until
these chattel mortgages are satisfied.
In some cases the chattles are not due
until the first of January, and unless the
money loaner is willing to take his
money now the farmer must have "chat-
tep written across all his checks, al
though he may have wheat enough to
pay the chsttle forty times over. Farm
ers want cash TO pay their threshers and
other incidental expenses, and the mon-
ey loaners should he accommodating
enough to release their mortgages when
the money Is rendered. giving proper
tionate reduction in the matter of IN
terest.

Well and Truly Said.

The constitutional convention at Sioux
Falls shows disposition to appropriate
the name Dakota" for the new state
south Of the forty sixth parallel. This is
certainly not magnanimous, and or no
account is it worth while. The people
of the half-terrltory north of the forty.
sixth parallel are quite as attached to
the name Dakota and have quite as good
a right to it rs those south of the line.
There must, of course be two names il
the division plan succeeds, as it ultimate
ly will. But there is no necessity for in
venting II name for either half. They
have, in fact, tl,ei, names already. The
term "North Dakota" and "South Da-
kota" are IN familiar use and should be
adopted by law. There is nothing awk.
ward about the arrangement, but on tho
contrary it is a natural and obvious one.

Couldn't Find HIM.

One of our wholesale merchants, who
does heavy business shipping goods Ia
Bottineau, ordered some drugs from q
local druggist, for one of his customers,
and sent the package by the stage dri-
ver to Bottineau. The box was not
plainly addressed, and the driver
thought BY opening it he might discov-
er who it was for, and on the liable of
one of the bottles was "Ol. Tiglii, ;" which
means in United States croton oil. He
at once commenced searching for Ole
rigli, but could not find him, and re.
turned the package to the drug store
disguised, telling the druggist to address
his packages in future to some person
that lived there, as there was no Nor
wegian by that name in the Tur.
tie mountain, and that he had also
looked for Auti. Pot. Tart. (which, in
druggist parlance, means tartar emetic)
and failed to find him.

Chica&o Tribune, SEPT. "a, 1895.
AlAnson w. Edwards, who now live.
in Fargo, but who at one time was a by.
no-means respected citizen of Chicago
is defendant in three suits before Judge
Gary. One Of the cases was finished
yesterday. The action was brought by
George F. Westover, a Chicago lawyer,
Of the firm of Shufeldt 4 Westoyer, Ia
recover $4,000 for libel. Edwards
after he went to Fargo, brought II SUI,
against the Fargo Republican company
which employed Westover to conduct
its defense. During the process of the
trial the Daily Argus of Fargo contained
some very abusive articles, characteriz.
ing Westover as "disreputable and
blackmailing shyster,' and making
many calumnious charges. tits claimed
that Edwards owned the paper and
wrote or inspired the assault upon the
attorney. The jury, however, returned
last night, after a short absence, and
gave nominal verdict for only 1925.
While this jury was out another was
impaneled to try case against the same
Edwards brought by the heirs and rep
resehtatives of Joshua j. Rollins, who
had policy in the Protection Life In
surance company for 5000. Of this
company Alanson W. Edwards was a
leading light, and the plaintiff alleges
that he so effectually exercised his oc-
cupation that when the company paid
him the 5000 for Rollins family he
convinced the family that the company
was insolvent and could only pay 1890.
Under this belief they settled with Ed
wards for that sum, and now allege that
he pocketed the balance of $2lOO. The
case will be tried today. As soon as it
is ended Edwards will have to stand an.
other suit of the same character brought
by Darius Vigus, who claims 5000 be-
cause Of Edwards having failed to pay
over the money due upon policy in
the Protection Life Insurance company.
It is needless to say the defendant does
not appear in court to defend.
