CITY GOVERNMENT.
Special Meeting of the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen.

sneeial meeting of the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen was held at O'Clock yesterday after
noon. with Mayor Deering in the chair; absent,
Alderman Noyes
Upon the petition of Mrs Mary J. Adams, the
board recommended the appointment of David F.
Murdoch by the Judge of Probate as guardian of
the person and property of Jacob Murdoch, the
father OF the petitioner. Jacob Murdoch is of un-
sound mind and incompetent to manage his
affairs.
A petition from residents at the corner of Dan
forth and Pleasant streets for the abatement of a
nuisance caused by gang of roughs was referred
to the City Marshal with instructions to take any
needed action Immediately.
The petition of Sanford S. Hunt to maintain a
fish market on Middle street was granted.
TELEGRAPH POLES.
Objection having been made to the location Of
the pole of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany at the corner of Centre and Congress streets
by the Lancaster Block, the board previous to the
meeting visited the location and examined the
site of the pole. When the matter came up in the
meeting His Honor the Mayor stated that while
he wished every telegraph company to have all
facility in placing their poles in his opinion this
site was bad and the pole should be removed He
added that the work had been done early one
morning before he arrived down town and he
knew nothing of the erection of the pole until
the work was completed. If the location was not
changed the Mayor would favor indcting the
pole as nuisance.
Alderman Sawyer moved that the pole be re
moved to the opposite corner, and Alderman
Russell offered an amendment that the pole be
allowed to remain where twas Alderman Rus
sells amendment was lost by a vote of four to two.
Mr. Plaisted, superintendent of construction for
the Western Union Company, explained that the
pole had been put in its present position in ac-
cordance with the orders of the city electrician
and that it was much easier to run the wires down
on that side OF the street than to cross to the OPP
posite corner and then bring them back to the
lower side again.
Alderman Gallagher thought that the company
should not be made to suffer for obeying the or
ders of the city electrician.
The matter was finally settled by an order that
the pole be removed some twelve feet down
Centre street. The wires will be supported on an
arm extending out over Centre street so that they
will clear the corner.
The board adjourned on motion of Alderman
nanisOn

NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH.
A Pleasant Reception rendered the
New Pastor.

On Monday evening, in the spacious vestry of
the church on New High street, a reception was
given to the recently elected pastor of the society
the Rev Howard c. Durham of Topeka, Kansas
There were nearly 200 present. including large
number of the young people. The earlier portion
of the evening was given to informal introduc
tons. Later, quartet Of male voices rendered
several choice selections, and the Rev. Mr.. Dun
ham made a short address to the society, thank
ing them for their very cordial and hearty wei
Come to Portland, and specially for the happy
opportunity which thateyening gave to inaugurate
and cement their mutual acquaintance.
In the work of the church he bespoke the
earnest and harmonious cooperation of ALL old
and young alike, even to the smallest child that
could come to the Sunday school. He said that he
was particularly DESTROYS of reaching the hearts
of the young people, and of awakening in them an
active interest in all that concerned the church.
He regarded the young people and children of the
church as peculiarly the seed ground for the
spiritual harvest of the future. The church
should always make careful provision for their
interests and in his pulpit work he should en-
deavor to bear in mind the needs alike of old and
young. Abiding to his very pleasant Western
home and work, Mr., Durham said that he had
been led to come to Portland by what seemed
not only to himself but to Others as Providential
indications that more extended field of useful
ness here lay before him.
To the address brief but very happy response
was made by the Hon. Benz. Kingsbury, moder-
ator of the society, after which refreshments were
served by the ladies from handsome and bounti-
fully laden tables. A very pleasant feature of
the evening was the unexpected appearance of
the Weber Club of which the society's efficient
musical director, Mr.. Carl Weber, is president,
and who favored the society with several well
rendered and interesting selections. In all re-
spects the reception was most successful as was
attested by the pleasant feeling and hearty en-
joyment which everywhere prevailed.

The State,s Money.

The town of Mayfield has not paid State tax
for twenty years. 1t has not drawn any school
money for long time. There are five or six
plantations in about as bad a fix as Maydeld and
when the Legislature meets again an endeavor
will be made to put them back among the wild
lands. The State taxes are paid up better now
than at any time before. State Treasurer Bur-
leigh and his assistants have been making special
efforts to clean the slate. The State tax for any
year is required by law to be paid in by the col
lectors Of the cities, towns and plantations on or
before the first of January of the next year. If
not paid then, the State Treasurer can at any
time have an execution served on the collector by
the county sheriff. During the present fiscal year
executions have been served on the town of Casco
for its tax Of 1885, and the town of Aurora for its
tax of 1881. Executions will be served at once
on several other towns. The State tax of 1884
was $945o00, and $905,000 of it has been paid
an unusually large proportion. 100000 of the
1885 tax of $S86,000 has already been paid in.
Lewiston has paid the whole of its State tax
Portland yet owes little. The tax of Belfast has
been paid first for four or five years in succession
Collector Fred earle of that city takes pride in
reDOrtinG ahead of everybody else.

An Innnortant Discovery.

Our fellow townsman, James p Baxter, Esq,
who is now in London engaged in historical re-
searches at the British Museum, Public Records
ONCE ETC., has discovered three MSS. of George
Weymouth, who visited this coast in 1905. In a
letter to 81. W. Bryant Secretary of the Maine
Historical Society," he says, referring to this dis
coyery:
zone of these MSS. contains 800 pages in Way
mouths own hand, and elegantly executed. About
of ordnance, Notifications, &c. 1t was written
before his voyage to America, and presented to
emblazoned upon it. 1t will revolutionize popu-
lar opinion, and show Weymouth to have been a
scholar like Raleigh, whose talents attracted the
attention of continental rulers. 1t was while in
the employ of one of these that he penned one of
the MSS. viz. in 1910"
Mr. Baxter promises wore complete report lat
er which cannot fail to add interest to the winter
meeting of the Maine Historical Society.

The Over Fraud,

The story Of the resurrection of Joseph Dyer,
as told by Blanche Edwards, has at last been
proved to be a falsehood wantonly told by the
girl 1t appears that she produced three photo
praphs, which she claimed were pictures of Mr..
and Mrs Dyer and Joseph Dyer. A reporter has
discovered that the photographs were taken from
the house OF MI. Fred Harris, in Deering, where
Blanche formerly was employed. When the girl
was confronted with this discovery, she broke
down and confessed that the whole story she had
told was fiction, invented by herself. She also
confessed that she had written several letters to
herself, signing them "Mrs. Dyer" Her parents,
who have credited her story, were much mortified
.rhen abe confessed her fraud.

How beautiful are the above lines
uttered by the worlds greatest
mind! How infinite the scope OF
mans power if his faculties are
well preserved. Nothing, short of
creation, is to him impossible. Our
soul is lost in admiration when we
contemplate the possibilities of this
greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow
er. Yet what is this "quint-essence
of dust" when blasted by disease---
his noble functions perverted or de-
StrOyed?
AS ''aII men are born free and
equal" as far as moral rights are
concerned, so likewise we hold they
should be born physically, but as
long as children must suffer for the
sins of their parent this cannot be.
That the human race has deteriOr-
ated physically is conceded ques
ton. To restore it is an impOssi-
bility, as long as people persist in
immortality and indulgences which
are in disregard Of natures laws.
The most we can do then is to
ameliOrate this condition, and cure
disease in individuals.
To this end we offer to the pub
lie, remedies which have done
more gOOd--accOmplished better
results in OverthrOwing disease
than any others which have been
discovered up to the present time,
viz:
DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SANATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible REM
edy for all affections of the Liver
and Stomach, and is besides an in
valuable general tonic. The lat
ter is a reliable cure for all ner-
sgOus diseases and conditions, such
as Hysteria, SIeeplessness, Nervous
Prostitution, Depression caused by
OverWOrk, etc.
These remedies are extensively
prescribed by physicians, recon-
mendatiOn which does not obtain
with any other proprietary article,
and command at the hands of the
druggists in New England larger
sale than any other medicine.
IN HUNDREDS OF THOU
SANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD,
THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SIN
GLE COMPLAINT THAT THEY
FAILED TO DO WHAT is
CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we
hold is an unparalleled record of
success, and the strongest proof
of their excellence. As positive
evidence we have thousands of tes-
timOniaIs which we will be pleased
to show, but which space prevents
publishing. The trial of one bot
tie will be sufficient to satisfy you
that we make no false claims. A
