INDIAN ASSOCIATION.
Annual Meeting and Election Of
Officers.

Yesterday afternoon about fifty ladies,
with faces indicative of intelligence and cul-
ture, assembled in Friends church to mani
fest their interest in the work of the Maine
Indian Association, it being the third an
nual meeting of that society. After Scrip
ture reading and prayer, the President, Mrs.
M. e. Frye, presented her address in which,
after sketching the early history of the Ma
tional Indian Association and its growth,
she related in clear and comprehensive
manner the circumstances which led to some
of the late difficulties With Indian tribes,
particularly with the Apaches. That side of
the story with which our public are not
familiar was turned to the light, and some of
the outrageous acts of injustice on the part
of white people, which have kindled such
fires of retaliation in savage breasts were
effectively related.
The reports of the secretary and treasurer
were then read and accepted, after which
Mrs. Anna Ogden gave very interesting ac-
count of the national convention at Phila
delphia, in November, to which she was
delegate, as were also Mrs. NJ. E. Frye and
Mrs. j. E. Mcdowell
Mrs. Ogden sketched some of the most in
teresting features of the convention, and
also spoke at some length of the noble work
done for the Omaha Indians by Miss Alice
Fletcher of Massachusetts, who it is ex-
pected will address public meeting in this
city the present season.

The publishers of the old reliable Path
finder Railway Guide have issued very
neat and compact pocket guide, called the
Baby Pathfinder, which is sent free of charge
to their regular subscribers, and sold at re-
tail by all newsdealers for five cents per
copy. The Baby is the only pocket guide
published with complete time tables of all
New England roads, and the fact that no adj
vertisements are inserted in the body of the
guide renders it the smallest, while the very
low price at which it is sold makes it the
cheapest. The Baby bears evidence of the
same painstaking care which has made its
father the official and only guide in New
England recognized by the railroads, and is
in every respect model pocket guide. Ask
your newsdealer for the Baby, or send direct
to the publishers. Address Pathfinder,

What is the Trouhlea

On Jan. 18th, J. Fl. Hunt, city marshal Of
Nashua, N. H., sent letter to Portland ask
ing if Hattie E. Paine was married in this
city by Rev. Geo. Turner, July 9Th, 1888, to
Edward A. Lear, and giving the names of
two witnesses. No such marriage could be
found on the records. Jan. 10Th the same
gentleman writes that Hattie Lear insists
that she came from Saco to this city with
Lear at the time mentioned, and was mar
ried by the MI. Turner named, who resided
in white cottage house, which Lear told
her was located on Commercial street

The case of John F. Haines of Biddeford,
against Isaac Abrams of this city, was
brought up for trial in the York county court
at Saco, yesterday The plaintiffs writ al
leges that on the 18th day of March, 1885, at
Biddeford, the plaintiff bargained with the
defendant to buy certain black gelding, and
the defendant, well knowing the horse to be
balky and contrary. warranted him to be
kind and tractable, and free from all vicious

THE FISH FIGHT.
Messrs. o. B. Written and K. D.
Pierce at Cleveland.

Messrs. 0. b. Written and Kirck d. Pierce,
the gentlemen composing the fish committee,
arrived in Cleveland at an early hour Thurs
day, and during the forenoon they attended
the Board of Trade meeting They also
called upon a number of prominent business
men. A Cleveland Leader reporter met the
gentlemen during the afternoon at the
Forest City House, where he learned fully
the object of their mission. They came
directly from Buffalo, where they secured a
numerously signed memorial to Congress
asking that body to refrain from an extern
sion of the reciprocal treaty. The import
ance of the interest these gentlemen repre-
sent may be found in the fact that the Amer
lean fisheries represent capital of $37, 1885,
$40, with products annually aggregating
S43,046,053. The number of persons employ
ed are 1,426, who have dependent upon
their labors 525,7O4 women and children.
That the greater portion of the fish are
caught in American waters is shown by the
fact that of the 100000 barrels of mackerel
sailed during 1885 less than 1000 barrels were
taken in Canadian waters. Messrs Written
and Pierce are very much in earnest in this
matter, and during the past thirty days over
1000 memorials have been drafted, signed,
and sent to Congress similar to the one pre-
pared-for signatures in Cleveland.
Messrs. Written and Pierce visited San
duSky Friday morning From there they
will go to Toledo, Detroit and Chicago, and
then return to Washington. They distribu-
ted copies of the following petition in Cleye-
land for signatures:
To the Senate and House of Representatives Of the
United States, in Congress assembled:
The undersigned citizens of Cleveland, in the
State of Ohio respectfully, but most earnestly,
petition your honorable body against any action
involving a renewal or extension of what is known
as the treaty of Washington, or the reciprocated
treaty between the United States and the Domin-
ion of Canada SO far as the same relates to the
question of American fisheries. We urgently pro-
test against the appointment of any joint inter
national commission to consider the renewal or
adoption of such q treaty, believing the same to
be adverse to American interests, and the policy
OF such treaty is to subserye the interests of the
Dominion fisheries at the expense of American

statement of the officers yesterday that the
Bible Society of Maine have arranged for a
work of Scripture distribution to be com
menced at once in this city, under the super
vision of Mr.. L. B. Stilson, aided by one or
more assistants.
1t is designed to supply the destitute with
the Scriptures, sell at cost to those who wish
to purchase, and gather religious statistics.
No collections for the Bible cause will be
taken in any of the churches for the current
year, but in place Of them subscriptions will
be taken from home to home, and each pas
tor will be given receipt for the amount re-
ceived from his congregation.
The undersigned cordially commend the
work to the sympathy, cooperation and lib
