There was a disturbance at the barracks of
the Augusta Salvation Army Friday evening
andla tumult prevailed for short time. A
negro convert was talking, when a small boy
in the audience sneezed This aroused the ire
OF the colored gentleman and he reproved the
youngster, who, upon this, started tor the
door. Capt Thatcher shouted TO him to go
back and ordered the doorkeeper to hold the
door fast. But the boy persisted in going out
and putting his shoulder against the door
burst it open with bang, and fled down the
stairs. Shortly after this, just as the gentle.
man of color had finished his talk, man
arose to leave the hall. Thatcher commenced
talking in an excited manner and told him to
halt, saying that there would be an oppor-
tunity to leave when the singing commenced
But the man said, 81 guess can go out if
want to-" and continued on. Upon this
Thatcher rushed from the platform to the
door, spreading his arms across the entrance.
and at that the fellow attempted to go through,
squabble taking place between the two. The
whole crowd then arose to their feet and made
break for the door, Thatcher holding the fort
and yelling, "you are all under arrest, you are
all arrested, while his soldiers on the plat
form made all the uproar possible, singing and
beating their drums About this time the DO
Ice arrived and the disturbance was quieted.

Irwin had flied out to Lynch, Hartnett made a
splendid hit for two bags, but Slattery and Fox

catch him mapping, but could not get homes as oxsy
and Long both hit to Halpin and were retired at

For Biddeford, Halpin, Mullen and Butler struck
out. Clark hit safely after two men were out, but
was thrown out in trying to steal second.
Biddeford scored once in the third on Jandrons

second, and hits by Hartnett and Sattery sent him

stole second and came home on two wild pitches.
In the fourth Long added to Portland's score.

A Chinese Newspaper Office.
ON the San Francisco Reporter ]

ltrom the San Francisco Reporter.l
The life of Chinese journalist is hap
py one. He is free from care and thought,
and allows all the work of the establishment
to be done by the pressman. The Chinese
eompostor has not yet arrived. The Chinese
editor, like the rest of his countrymen, is
initiative. He does not depend upon his
brain for editorials, but translates them
from all the contemporaneous American
newspapers he can get. There is no humor-
ous department in the Chinese newspaper.
The newspaper Office has DO exchanges
scattered over the floor. and in nearly all
other things it differs from the American
establishment. The editorial room is con-
nected by a ladder with hunks on a loft
above, where the managing editor sleeps,
and next to it is, invariably, a room where
an opium bunk and layout reside.
Evidences of domestic life are about the
place-pots, kettles, and dishes taking up
about as much room as the press. In one
instance on Washington street barber shop
is run in the same apartment with the edi-
torial room, and, in all cases, no disposition
is shown to elevate the position Of the
printer above his surroundings. If an
editor finds that journalism does not pay, he
gets jop washing dishes or chopping wood.
and he does not think he has descended far.
either. The manner of getting a Chinese
newspaper on the press and printing it is
very primitive, apparently, but serious
thought upon the matter presents the ques-
tion whether it would not be more adapta-
Bile in the case of small weekly newspapers
than that by which they are now published.
Movable types are not in use in SanFran-
cisco Chinese newspaper offices. The editor
takes American newspapers to friends, from
whom he gets translation of the matter be
needs, and after getting it written in Chinese
in manner satisfactory to him he carefully
writes it upon paper chemically prepared.
Upon the bed of the press, which is Of the
style that went out of use with the last CEN
tury, is lithogrsph stone. Upon this pa
per it is laid until the impression of the
characters is left there. A large roller is
linked and passed over the stone after it has
been dampened with a wet sponge, and
nothing remains but to take the impression
upon the newspaper to he. The Chinese
pressman prints three papers every five min
utes, five papers in the same time less than

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Special Meeting Held in Augusta sasur
day.
,Snecial to the Pres

AUGUSTA, May pa special meeting of the
State Board of Health was held at the Capitol
this morning. Six of the seven members were
present.
number OF very important movements
to be sent to the health committee of every
town and city in the State an abstract OF all
the sanitary laws of Maine. with circular of
instruction as to the duties of health officers.
According to the statutes the selectmen of a
town are the health committee, unless the peo-
pc elect a special committee on hygiene at the
- nual town meeting. The sanitary laws. ex-
cepting that relating to vaccination. have been
SO studiousy ignored for many years that it is
probable that the selectmen are commonly un-
aware Of their duties in this regard. This Cir
cular will impart the needed information, and
it is hoped will awaken these officers to sense
of their grave responsibilities.
Another circular will be issued on the sub
ject of cholera, instructing the psople as to
the best means of avoiding this disease; and a
third will be distributed to school boards, ad-
vislng them concerning the principles to be OBJ
served in the construction of schoolhouses.
These circulars will be particularly timely, the
one because everybody is anxiously watching
the progress of the disease which has previous
ly been SO destructive of life in this county,
and wants to know what to do to prevent its
entrance to his own town; the other because
the season of school vacations is at hand, and
the plans for building, repairing and rearrang-
ing schoolhouses are being thought of.
As the last legislature passed a law reQuir-
ing physiology to be taught in the schools Of
the State, the Board will examine into the
merits of the various text books on the subject
and make recommendations to the school COM
mittees.
Each Of the several matters mentioned was
assigned to special committee of the Board,
and the reports will soon be made public. AS
all these topics are of peculiar interest to the
people at large, it is hoped that the newspapers
throughout the Stare will take pains to inform
the public of the action and recommendations
of tue Board, especially IS the appropriation
at its disposal is altogether too small to permit
the placing OF its publications in the hands of
every householder, as it would like to do.
Many other subjects were discussed, such as
the collection of vital statistics, the holding of
sanitary conventions, the inspection of sum-
meE resorts, etc; but these were left for action
at future meetings, as the members will have
enough to occupy them for soma time with the
work already planned.

Sheol.
m. Y. Sun.1

The Hebrew word ''sheol'' has lately been
brought into prominence by being substitute
ed in the revised version of the Old Testa-
ment for the familiar "hell." 1t would ap-
pear that the Ievisers could not find an En-
glish expression for ''sheop' which satisfied
them, and therefore they have Transcribed
it just as it stands in the Hebrew text. Orig
inally, however, "help' like the Greek ''ha-
des" was the exact equivalent of "sheol,'
both being the designation of vast hollow
place or cavern under the earth where the
spirits of the dead were supposed TO dwell.
not in torments, but still in darkness and
discomfort. The place of punishment was
called by the Hebrews in later days "gshen-
ma" rom the name of the valley near Jeru-
salem where rubbish and ordure were cast.
and where tires were kept burning to purify
the air. The idea of "help' as a place OF
torment is modification of the original con-
ception, but 1t has become so firmly estab-
lished that the word no longer answers to
the Hebrew "sheol," and has therefore
properly been discarded by the revisers.
