Maine Mutual Accident Association.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Certain articles have appeared in the pa
pers relating to the Maine Mutual Accident
Association; that the Insurance Commits
sioner has notified the county attorneys
throughout the State to prosecute agents do
ing business for this Association without au-
thority from him.
An Association named as above was organ
lied in this city April 10th, 1884, under the
laws of this State ON the same basis as the
Citizens Relief, the Masonic Relief and other
benevolent relief associations. The officers
are Hon. S. C. Strout, president: Hon. Geo.
G. Wing, vice president; j. j. Gerrish, treas
urer The association is doing large bust
ness. 1t has paid every just claim promptly,
and is on sound financial basis. The gen.
tlemen composing this association are honor
able men. They organized their association
for the purpose of doing a legitimate bust
ness in lawful manner. Some question has
been made touching the legal status of all
Relief Associations under our insurance
laws, and this will be settled in a friendly
and proper spirit. Hon. j. 0. Smith, Insur-
ance Commissioner, writes me that 1.-The
statement in the papers to which my atten-
ton has been called is utterly without foun-
dation as far as | am concerned"
The Association desires to conform in all
respects with the laws of the State

a Profitable Business.

The fne-paying for rumselling in the Supe-
rior Court is almost as good business for
the county as the Stockbridge course is to
Mr.. Stockbridge. Yesterday morning, Clerk
of Courts bennett sat at a small table ar
ranged for the purpose and did thriving
business. He had two deep cigar boxes, one
for small bills and the other for larger ones
Five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred dol
lar bills floated in rapidly all the forenoon.
At o'clock he counted up and found that he
had taken about $4,000 in three hours.

The Stafford Block Case.

Mrs. Mary Jane Frazier, the owner of the
Stafford Block, so-called, corner of Fore and
Franklin streets, has been thorn in the side
of the decent residents of that locality, and
of the police, for many years. 1t is generally
known that by means of her money this
woman had succeeded in so terrorizing those
persons of bad repute who lived in her tene-
ments and who were the originators of the
greater portion of the criminal cases brought
before the courts, that it was impossible to
secure her conviction. There was one ex-
ception to this rule when conviction was
obtained, but the Law Court found a flaw in
the Indictment. Yesterday, as published in
our court columns, County Attorney Seiders,
by his skillful management of the case, aid
ed by the energetic work of Marshal An
drews, succeeded in procuring Mrs. Frazier's
conviction for maintaining houses of ILL
fame. Ii the verdict is sustained by the
Law Court, her sentence will be at least two
and one-half years in the county jail
An interesting and important question of
law was raised by the counsel for the re-
spondent, who claimed that inasmuch as the
testimony for the government as well as the
defendant showed that the tenements were
actually let to the several persons who were
in possession as tenants at will they could
not be said to be under the control of Mrs
Frazier as alleged in the indictment.
The decision of the Law Court as to the
meaning of the expression under her con-
troll, and whether the relations of landlord
and tenant would give the tenant control
rather than the landlord, will determine
whether Mrs. Frazier will ever be called
upon to suffer the penalty under the counts
upon which she was convicted.
Judge Bonney ruled in substance that if
Mrs. Frazier was the owner, and had actual
knowledge and consented to the Illegal use of
the tenements by the tenants, the jury could
properly convict her under the Indictment as
drawn; any other ruling would, of course,
render Mrs. Frazier's acquittal probable and
it remains for the full court to decide wheth-
er our statute and the Indictment as drawn
can reach Mrs. Fraziers case.

Alleged Larceny.

Last evening Deputy Crowell received

The cosnel Mission.

Last evening, all that were at the Mission
had rare intellectual treat in hearing Rev.
Henry Blanchard lecture. After Scripture
reading and prayer by Rev. S. F. Pearson, he
introduced the reverend speaker, who said
that about two years ago, while walking
along Congress street, he sawa transparency
marked "God is love" This warmed his
heart towards the Mission, and after deep
search and enquiry he was led to love it and
its superintendent for the good it was doing
among the poor and needy of our city. He
then went on to say that God helps man as
man helps himself; that God had made man
a free agent to choose for himself and to be
a co-worker with God. He said God could
make the grain without the aid of man, but
that was not his way. Man must till the
soil and SOW the seed, and after man had
done his part God did His. Then he ex-
planned the same thought in different ways,
taking the steamship, railroad, telegraph,
telephone and other works to show that with
out the work of man God did nothing He
said that God helps man who helps him
SELF that a million times one is million,
but to be a part of that million we must be
an individual, so we must each one do our
own part in our own place. After each man
and woman had done what they could and
come to God, He would do His part; that
God had promised to help man if he asked
Him. God says to every man, work with
Me-" and so he invited every man and every
woman of the Mission to do their allotted
part well, and by so doing God would bless
them in themselves and in their efforts to
raise up the fallen.
These special services will continue every
evening during the present work, different
speakers each evening, and the singing will
be led by an orchestra of brass instruments.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
ELY.


Last evening Miss Annie Pixley made her
appearance at Portland Theatre inlMarsdens
Irish comedy "Eily," in which as a buxom
Irish lass Miss Pixley appeared to especial
advantage. The play is well constructed
and deals with the efforts of wicked and
impecunious sprig Of gentility to secure a
fortune belonging to Ely, whose father sup
poses she is dead, while her putative father
endeayors to foster that belief and secures
some of the money for himself. OF course
the play ends happily, and 1t affords Miss
Pixley an opportunity to, give an excellent
representation of an Irish colleen, with her
songs and Dances Mr.. Meredith ably SUD
ported her and Mr.. Hunter made capital
villain. Tonight ''M'liss" will be presented
CALLED BACK.
A performance of interest is announced at
Portland Theatre for tomorrow evening,
when Miss Kate Claxton and Mr. Charles A.
Stevenson will appear in the London drama
tization of SCALED Back" by Hugh Conway
and Comyns Carr The thousands who have
read this remarkable narrative will feel a
deep interest in the drama, which deviates
from the story in many important particu-
lars The presence of Miss Claxton and Mr..
Stevenson aided by a fine company of ar
lists, including Mr.. A. Salvini as Macari, and
Mr.. FL. A. Thomas as DR.. Cheneri, insures
an interesting embodiment of the authors
characters.
The New York Times says: Called
Back, may be set down as as popular play,
and is destined to put money in the pockets
of the managers in this country. as well as
those of Europe. The story of this work as
it has come from the hands of the playwright,
concerns the fortunes of Mr.. Gilbert Vaughan
a blind young gentlemen, who unwittingly
stumbles into strange house while a MUIR
der is being committed there; of his attach
ment for a young lady who is bereft of her
the hero's eyesight, and his efforts to bring
back the mindlof the young lady, and to bring
to justice the person whose villainy has caus-
ed the affection. 1t is needless to say that,
is successful; the Villains come to their
death under shocking circumstances, and the
heroine is called back to reason
