Portland Teachers Asseclation.

On the question why the alarm does not
sound in the morning of very inclement days,
the superintendent replied that it had never
been done in Portland so far as he was aware,
and no one now has a right to ring at that
hour; and that the person in charge OF the fire
alarm bell would not ring it until properly au
thorized to do SO. and the fire department be
properly notified that such an alarm may be
expected.
Various notices and directions were given to
teachers, and especially were they advised not
to press the work of pupils beyond the ordin-
AIRY amount near the close of the term.
The closing exercise of the evening was a
talk from the superintendent on his summer
journey abroad. In this talk, after describing
his journey with a small party over and back
as being extremely pleasant on the ocean in
the steamer Austral, he spoke of:
1-Art under the heads of architecture,
painting, sculpture and music, and illustrated
by particular cathedrals, palaces and galleries
which he visited, and music by Strauss and
others which he heard.
2-Educatioaal Under this head he mem
toned the appearance OF scholars and schools,
mostly taught by men; examinations; universe.
ty students, with their scars from duelS fought
with each other; the elegance of school build
1ngs Tar SURPRISING ours. he 6pok also OF the
educational questions agitatiDg European
countries, as being the same as are now dis
cussed here; such as industrial education,
courses of study, whether too extensive, ex-
aminations, describing some that were seen
in progress in Heidelberg, these being much
more extensive and searching than ours.
3-IedustrieS. Mention was made of the
high state of cultivation of the land much OF
it, however, given up to grazing, forestry
and parks; OF the carpet and lace works of
Brussels of the colored glass works and bronze
castings of Munich, that these works are now
finding large patronage in America; the porce-
lain works of Dresden and Paris; and he de-
scribed the manner of making the golden
tapestries OF Paris, and the workmen were
described as trained artists and under very
high pay, several thousand dollars year being
not infrequent.
4-Modes Of living. There appears to be
much beer drinking throughout Europe,
especially in Germany; their hotel living is
much the same as with us and about as ex-
pensivs; women work at all kinds of work, in
the fields, on the streets, and in the market
They are often seen harnessed with pony or
dog to a market cart, and in beautiful Vienna
they were seen dragging the roller to level the
streets; the men are soldiers and guards; all
take fees, as rome say, from the porter to the
prince"

CHRISTIAN ENDRAvOR.
The Annual Meeting of the Society Last
Evening.

The Society of Christian Endeavor was first
organized Feb. 2, 1881, by Rev. f. f. Clark,
the pastor of Williston church, now of South
Boston. 1t was organized to meet the want OF
that church during a revival in the Sabbath
School, that the young Christians might be-
trained for church membership, and made
more useful in the service of God. This work
has now become of national importance, hay
ing spread all over our country, in the Cana
das and the Sandwich Islands. The headquar-
tiers OF the National Society is in this city, Mr..
j. W. Stevenson being the secretary There
were upwards of 5000 members reported at
the last annual conference in Lowell, Mass
last October.
This is the society that held its fourth ami
versary last eveLing. in Williston church. The
church was filled by representatives of the
several societies in this city. most cordial
welcome was extended to members and friends
by Rev Mr.. Hallock. He reviewed briefly the
organization from its inception, and with many
earnest words he pictured what the society
might bscome as training school-a West
Point-to fit the young soldiers for valiant SER
vice in the church.
Mr.. G. E. Hight, president of Williston
society, spoke of the beginning of the work,
and drawing from the evident growth in grace
q most hopeful indication for the future.
Mr.. Fred Eastman spoke for the society in
Pine street church. This was the latest formed
in this city, but it 10 evident from the report
that the work is progressing in that church.
Mr.. Dunn, president of the society in the
First Baptist church spoke for his society with
earnest words of encouragement, urging the
closest observance of all the means of growth
Mr.. l.. M. Webb spoke for the Free Baptist
society, telling how much the society had
helped the church, especially in the prayer
meetings of the church.
Mr.. Fred Fogg spoke for the society at the
Second Parish. This was the second society
organized, and has always been actively at
work for the Master.
Mr.. Palmer spoke for the society at the
West church. In this church good degree OF
interest and many conversions are traced to
the work of this society.
Rev. DR.. Small said it cost him great en-
dsavor to be present, whether all Chr istian or
not, he would not say, but If it had not been
for two years training in the society he should
not be here. Christian endeavor-trying to do
something's what every church needs today.
Rsy. Mr.. Williams spoke Of pastoral diff
Guilty in getting young people to work in Chris
tisn service, and from personal experience he
knew that this especial work was doing a
grand part in training Christians for more ef-
fective service.

words

STILL IN THE HOLE

And Liable to stay Therc.-Meantims Ar.
Judgements for the Inauguration of a
President go on Just the Same.
To get out of the hole some lines lind
themselves in on Inauguration travel. and
at the same time preserve q bare semblance
of good faith with the public, is a conun-
drum not the easiest in the world 20 solve.
That the Baltimore and Ohio was the first
to announce in the press of the land the low
rates TO Washington, is not to be gainsaid
any more than is the fact that the b. & O.
is the only only one of the trunk lines throw
ing open its entire system to the advan-
tages of the reduction in fare. Roads that
make q big talk and claim the earth too
small for their possessions are whipping the
devil a lively race around the stump, and
making a blow about everything except
that which people want most to know. This
peculiarly Of the situation has led to many
inquiries, but as vet no explanation has
been youchsated as to why the public is
made fish or fowl OF as suits
the fancy Of the would be autocrats
of the railroad world. Hence the
hole and the wriggling to get ont Of it.
Meantime the +. o. goes on telling the
truth, presenting the real status Of the situa-
ton and proving that on its entire system
one mans money is good as another, and
all its matches series Of fast trains, includ.
ing the famous Limited" open to slt pas
sergers holding Inauguration tickets, Amid
all the bluster OF other lines, there is not
a word of denial Of the fact that the B & o.
limited trains are the only limited trains
on any line upon which the low rate tickets
will be aecepted-or, ia other words, the
only liue upon which inauguration tickets
will be good except upon slow trains.
Neither has there been the shadow Of IN
attempt 10 contradictipg the fact that the
r. so. is the only line having its own ex-
clusive depot ia Washington. aud the only
