SENATOR EDMoNDs has written a
letter to an Indian graduate Of the
Carlisle school, in which he says:
81 shall be glad at the next session
to do anything in my power to
make a general provision that any
Indian who chooses voluntarily and
in some formal way to renounce
his allegiance to his tribe and
assert his desire TO become a citi-
zen Of the United States, with
all its rights and responsibilities
may do So" Such a provision is
all right and proper. No man
should be restrained from doing as
he may choose in matter of this
kind. When once he does 60 how
ever it should be for all time and
all identity and rights should be
left behind.

Fiddle Sticks!

Eleven wagons from the hills, all
loaded with cotton, with the exception
OF one, were patiently waiting, at the

morning, to be ferrisd over. The ex-

Rev. Patrick Jones, a colored minis

Tomorrow evening the Office of the "Ten-

This is most solemn service, and will be per-
formed with the most exact regard to the
time-honored usages and ceremonies of the
church. So long as Christians spent the great.
est part of the nights during Holy Week, es-
pecially the last four days, in general watch
ings in the churches, this office was said at
midnight. 1t is now, however, and has been
for many years, given on Wednesday evening
being the mathis of the Office of Thursday, an.
ticipated the evening foregoing. 1t is called
the office of the "Tenebre," from the Latin
word which signifies darkness; for, toward the
end, all the lights are extinguished, both to
express the deepest mourning, and in memory
of the darkness which covered the earth at
the time of the orucifxion. In triangular
candlestick, placed on the right or epistle side
of the altar. are set Is candles, seven on each
side and one at the top. The candles on each
side are put out, one after every psalm. begin.

At the beginning of the verse after the "Bene-
dietus," the white candle is taken down from
the triangular candlestick and hid under
the altar, while the "Miserere' psalm and the
prayer are recited, after which it is brought
out again. This is very ancient rite. H.
deed, the solemn rites used by the church, es.
pecially on great festivals, are said to be oil

the twin evils of intemperance and licentious-

every community in the land.
V. That, trusting as aforesaid to our munic-

Edward ID. PettingilI.

Mr. Edward D. Pettingill, long known to
the wholesale grocery trade of New England
as the manufacturer of the "Shaker" brand of
pickles and other bottled goods died yesterday
morning at his late residence on Deering street
in this city.
Mr.. Pettingill was born in 1910 in Cumber-
land and at the breaking out of the rebellion
had been to sea several voyages. Upon that
event he came to Portland to study navigation
and year and a half later went into the reg
ular navy as acting ensign on the Mercedita
under Capt. Ransom. For year and half
he was on the Pacific coast engaged in convoy
ing government steamers and in the latter part
OF the war he was engaged in the ransporta-
tion of troops on the Atlantic coast. With
Lees surrender Pettingill secured an honora-
bic discharge and came home with his health
shattered. The following four years found
him Engaged in the retail grocery trade in
Portland in which he was very successful. He
then purchased the vinegar business of Mr..
Lincoln and started the entirely new enter
prise here of manufacturing pickles, which by
his honesty and industry had been built up in
to large and profitable business, the largest
east OF Boston which, latterly he has been
obliged, by i'll health, to put into the hands OF
his assignee for final adjustment his estate
being entirely solvent. Down to last Tuesday
his friends believed that he would in part re-
cover but later in the day decline set in that
left little hope. Mr.. Pettingill was member
of Maine Lodge, I. o. o. f., and also of the
Odd Fellows reliefs of the city and State,
and left paid-up life insurance amounting to
$4,000 or more.
He leaves wife. the daughter of Gilbert T.
Standish of Bath, direct lineal descendant of
Captain, Myles Standisb, and three small
children. His mother, quiet, gray-hared
woman, said, Edward was as good a son as
mother could WISH" Mr.. PettiDgill, Though
never protesting Christian, died with full
faith in Christ. No man had larger respect in
the community and the sympathy for the be
reave1 wife and mother is none the whit less,

bears upon one side the compliments of your
G.. 7. r. R. friends" and upon the other the
appropriate motto ''e1parto crede" beneath the
Doctors name and the square and compass,
the emblems of Masonry to which order he be-
longs.
The Doctor, taken by surprise, and being
visibly affected by this mark Of friendship and
esteem from SO large a class OF our most
worthy citizens and others on the line of the
road, could only express his gratitude in few
broken remarks, though he Isl very ready off
hand speaker, but he promised to convey his
thankfulneSs more substantially at an early
day through the press.
1t was altogether a very enjoyable evening,
and one destined to make firm and lasting the
bond of friendship between the Doctor and
those of his patrons who, in recognition of his
ability especially as surgeon, in which capa-
city he has 40 often been called TO attend the
injured men upon the road, have thus sought
10 honor him.
