The Portland FRATERNITY.

At the regular monthly meeting of the d.
rectors OF the Portland Fraternity, held last
Friday, some interesting illustrations were
given Of the good work which has already
been done by this association. 1t was stated
that one of the directors, calling at the Friend
ly Inn to ascertain how many boys were avail
ing themselves of the reading room which has
recently been opened there, found that the
superintendent of the Inn hoped that it would
be possible to have the boys taught in the
same ways as at the Portland Fraternity.
For" said the superintendent, 81 owe great
deal to that Fraternity. It taught me to read
and write. 1t gave me good start in what
education have.''
1t was also stated by the secretary of the
Fraternity that numerous cases might be cited
of young men now earning good wages who
were indebted to the Fraternity evening
classes for the education which enables them
to I'll their present places.
In the discussion of certain plans for future
usefulness, one of the directors urged the need
of industrial education, and suggested that
the school board should be conferred with in
relation to the feasibility of having our public
schools introduce manual instruction into their
system of education. 1t is understood that
this subject will be more fully considered at
the monthly meeting in March. Meanwhile,
proposition is being considered of having a

The Polyuesiar,.

The Polynesian of the Allan Line ia now at
the Grand Trunk wharves and yesterday was
visited by a large number of people anxious to
see the vessel reported as having experienced
30 rough passage.
The Pclynesian left Liverpool on the 22d of
January and arrived at Londonderry after a
pleasant trip. For the first few days out from
there the weather was pleasant although ex-
tremely cold. On the 9th the steamer en-
countered terrific gale. This was the same
storm, probably, that the Servia experienced
on her last trip. The news of the gale was CO.
bed from Halifax the day on which the
Polynesan sailed. The storm was accompan-
led by wind of fearful velocity and very
heavy Seas which were continually breaking
over the steamers decks. Four of the boats
were greatly damaged but none were lost.
Daring the continuance of the gale an i'm
mense sea struck the vessel about amidships
on her starboard side and sweeping with great
force across the deck knocked out the walls of
the smoking room and completely Quilted the
apartment. This and the smashing of the
stsering gear were the only injuries done to
the ship with the exception OF broker boom
and few accidents Of little Importance None
OF the ships people were injured in auy way.
By the courtesy of the officers of the vessel
PRESS reporter was allowed to make thorough
examination. No traces of any damages we're
to be seen except among the boats and in the
smoking room. Here heavy planks took the
place of the original wood work and the deck
above had been trussed up with -timbers The
lines stretched along the decks to render CON-
munication with ths different parts of the YES
sci cafe during the storm had not bsen re-
moved. The rigging was intact and evidently
had escaped damage. The Polynesian landed
the larger part of her passengers at Halifax
but brought one cabin, four intermediate, and
seventeen Storage passengers to this port
The steamships which have arrived at this
port recently have received little injury in
comparison with those bound for other ports.

LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE.
The Meeting Last Might at Plymouth
Church.


Plymouth church was we'll filled last even.
ing when the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Lowden, ex-
tended welcome to the friends of the Law
and Order League. Mr.. Lowden said that the
members of the League stood squarely as they
believed. The members of his church have
made covenant to drink no liquor, and SC
no wine is used at the communion table.
Mr. E. G. Harrington was introduced and
spoke as follows:
I believe that every man, woman and child
should be active in the work OF prohibition. A
gentleman recently asked ms 'sWhen will you
people stop talking about this question of pro-
hibition?' How can We stop when more than
i've hundred thousand men in this country are
engaged in rumselling; when So par cent Of all
crime and so per cent OF all pauperism are
caused by liquor? This warfare must go on
until this wicked traffic ceases to exist. I
have noticed recently certain comments by the
Boston Post upon statements made by a New
York paper that Maine, with its prohibitory
law, is in the foremost ranks as regards its pre-
portion of crimes to the population. This is
not SO, as is proven by reliable statistics. II o
man falls from wharf and is drowned while
in State of drunkenness, the rumseller is not
held responsible as is the engineer on a locomc-
tive by whose careleSsness some one is killed.
This is wrong. We want a healthier public
spirit on this question, and having it the liquor
traffic will disappear.
Rev. E. 7. Pitts, of the West Congregational
church, was the next speaker. Mr. Pitts spoke
of the magnitude Of the evil of drink. The
liquor bill is nine hundred million dollars an
nually, while The bread bill is but five hundred
and twenty-five millions Other statistics
were quoted, and the speaker referred at some
length to the manifold evils Of strong drink
and it's effect upon the man, his family and the
ration.
Mrs. @. 7. Davis, representing the Woman 3
Christian Temperance Union, spoke of the ad-
vance of women in this century and of wo-
mans part in the work of prohibition. Mrs.
Davis urged upon girls the necessity of
their taking part in the WORK, and demand
ing Of you ng men higher standard of NOR
ality.
Dr.. Bashford and Mr.. Gao. L. Kimball
spoke in regard to the effect of liquor ON bust
nees; and the meeting was dismissed after the
benediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Low
