jeremiah Henley died at the residence of
his son-in-law, Capt. j. F. Hamilton, No. 141
Congress street, on Monday night Mr.. Hen
ley had been in feeble health for some months
yet was remarkably well preserved for his
years. He was born in Middletown, CT, Aug.

Maine state Pythian Relief Association.
The January quarterly meeting of the above

the meeting, as all applications are acted upon
by an executive board of officers.
The secretary submitted his report for the
quarter ending Dec. 81, showing an increase in
membership for the quarter of 67 members,
making in all since the annual meeting in
May of 176, against 115 for the same time in
1888. The total membership now is over 800.
No death has been reported during the guar
ter, andsbut one assessment made on account
of death previously reported, making in all
for the year 1884, three deaths and assessments
This association seems to have been wonder
fully favored, Or excellent judgment used in
the selection of risks, as but twelve deaths
have occurred since the original organization
of the association, March %, 1874.

ON THE ROLLERS.

FUN AT THE BIJOU.
There was rare sport at the Bijou last night. The
boot and shoe had a game of polo there
and such an exhibition of tumbling was never seen
there before The first of the year brought many of
the drummers home and thinking they had gained
many points in their travels challenges were issued
and last nights game the result. 1t was played
on lockwood rollers and rules were thrown to the
dogs. player N ould strike at a ball. miss it, set
wn-suddenly,-and try again, then crawl up to
it and paw away until he had given it a hit often
towards his own goal and seldom in straight line
for his opponents. I The two clubs were named the
Woonsocket Rubber Co.'S and the Newport Ties.
The Ties played Moors Spofford, Kimball, Bar
rows. leighton, Isley and Colcord Ilsey tended
goal for them at first and made some stops that
would have caused Norway. Dow and Masterton to
look to their laurels. After the second goal he
gave way to Spotford, who proved worthy success
sor. Barrows of the Ties won the first rush but
he started the ball towards his own goal. The Ties
were tricky and won the game although thew lost
the first two goals. For the Woonsocket Rubber
Co.'S, who all played a brilliant game, mention is
dne the giant goal TENDER Cox, who so completely
filled the space between the goal posts that it was
by the merest chance that the ball driven past
him. Judge Smith introduced many new points in
the play picked up during recent trip east. Hig-
gins. king of the bicycle, was sure to be in the
thickest of the fight, while last but by no means
least was Leighton whose brilliant batting and
fielding in the Portland benefit game will be remem-
bered by many. His game was revelation to polo
players, and whether playing on his feet, on his
head or from a position at right angles with the
floor, his play equally effective and was an ex-
hibition long to be remembered.
After the first goal, Smith of the W. r. Co.'S was
presented with mammoth cabbage bouquet evil
IDENTIFY from his lady friends. He accepted it grace
fully, the band playing "only a Pansy Blossom"
The band very appropriately played the "Cripples'

Two ounces of aqua ammonia, n quart
of soft water, one t~easpoonful of saltpeter,
and one ounce of shaving soap cut fine
mix altogether, and let it stand a few days,
and it is ready to remove grease spots.
Apply with a sponge, rub well, and wash
out with not water.
One of the best and most convenient re-
ceptacles for table cutlery is a canton
flannel knife case tackled to the inside of a
cupboard door-to be so constructed that
there will be a separate compartment for
each knife or fork. The flannel is sure to
absorb any moisture left on a knife by
carelessness or by accident, and the whole
affair is ornamental. White canton fan
mel bound with scarlet dress braid is pref
tiest.
Hot wood ashes applied to a stove when
cold will remove grease. Cover the spot
entirely; do not be sparing of the ashes.
To remove the iron taste from new ket-
ties boil a handful of hay in them, and re-
peat the process if necessary. Hay-water
is a great sweetener of tin, wooden and
iron ware.

THE WIVES OF ENGLISH STATES.
MEN.

Nearly all the recent premiers of Eng
land have enjoyed the advantage of having
had wives of great devotion and consider
able ability, to whose tender care and SYM
pathy in their ambition they nave been
largely indebted. The devotion of the
Countess of Russell. who is still living
and the Countess of B~eaconsfield had
something of romance. Mrs. Gladstone,
who is nearly the same age as the premier,
accompanies her husband. as did Lady
~Beaconsfield, everywhere, and frequently
remains in the lady's gallery to the close
of the nights sitting. Lord Palmerston
more than, perhaps, any other first min
lister, however. was indebted for his posi-
ton and its maintenance to his wife. who
was physically and mentally a remarkable
woman. Up to her death in 1869, at So,
four years after her husband. she could
read without glasses, and talked with all
the fire and energy of a young woman of
90. Her voice was most CHEEKY. musical
and soft. Her eyes were of bright blue.
and, i'll spite of a very evident wig. she was
a very handsome old lady. She had some
peeularities, always shook hands with her
left hand and pronounced gold gould
and china ''cheeny."-London AMeaaum.

ANOTHER WORLDS EXPOSITION.

Expeditions are great civilizers. They
bring people together and make them ac-
quainted. They discover mines Of prec-
ious metals, mountains and beds of useful
necessary minerals, forests of the most
valuable woods, fields of undeveloped fer
tility, and markets for all products and
manufactures.
The late Worlds Exposition, notwith-
standing unfortunate delays and the exc
cradle weather which deferred so many
from attending, was a wonderful surprise
To the people in these respects. 1t was so
much a success that its friends have deter
mined that the good work it commenced
shall go on.
The new company called the North,
Central and South American Exposition
are scattering far and wide their announce
ments and advertising matter. 1t has pur-
chased the plant of buildings and property
of the old Exposition. 1t has secured the
retention of the best part of the old ex-
hibits and it will reopen for a period of
twenty weeks on the 10th of November
next.
The various impediments and adverse in
huences that operated so strongly against
the success of the late Exposition i'll be re-
moved. The day of opening is in the most
pleasant and attractive season of the year
in that section, Steam passenger railway
communication has been established be-
tween the centre of the city and the Expo
sition grounds. This will abolish one serious
objection by visitors of deficient local
transportation.
Railroad rates will be very low, not ex-
ceeding one cent a mile from any point.
Accommodation in the city will be album
dant and at most reasonable rates.
The prospects of success of the EXPOSE
ton are very brilliant. Capt. S. II. Buck,
who succeeded Major Burke as the Director
General of the Worlds Exposition and
gave such universal satisfaction, is the
new Director-G General and is determined
that it shall equal if it does not excel
that.
