OPINION OF AN EXPERT.
Mrs. Mary II. WEIGH, Teacher of Domestic
Economy mt State University of Iowa.

"My deliberate Judgment is that the oven
of tho Range, as compared with others
is not only more equally heated IN every
part-front as well as rear-but as n result
of its superior ventilation tho food placed
therein is better cooked, while retaining
sweeter flavor, and larger proportion of
its best juices. have found, also. that the
consumption of fuel In this Range for given
amount of work, Is much lessithan any other

THE FISHERIES.
Hon. w. L. Putnam Retained by the
Government.
Hon. r. 3. Reed Presents ResoIu-
lions to Congress.
Meeting of the Board of Trade To-
day.

Yesterday, Hon. w. L. Putnam received
ington to yesterdays PRESS as counsel for
government, to represent its interests in the
trials arising from the seizure of the fishing
vessels, David j. Adams and Ella M. Dough-
ty, by the Canadian authorities. Mr.. Put
nam had the matter under consideration for
several days, but it was not until Monday
that he was able to arrange his business so
as to accept the appointment. He will be
associated with Hon. Geo. w. Biddle of
Philadelphia. The trials will probably take
place at Halifax before Chief Justice Mac
donald of the Dominion of Canada. Mr..
Putnam went to Augusta yesterday noon, as
counsel in the Coburn will case, which will
come up before the law court in that city.
There will be a meeting of the Board of
Trade at II o'clock this forenoon, to consider
the fishing question, to which all members
are requested to be present.
A despatch from Halifax, N. S.. yesterday
says:
Although the schooner Sisters was seized
at Portland, Me-. for violation of the GUS
toms laws, it is not probable that Nova SEQ
tia will attach any importance thereto, or
show the slightest degree of excitement. In
ordinary times such an event would have no
interest except to those Immediately con-
cerned. The affair occasions no excitement
here.
Representative Reed presented to the
House of Representatives yesterday the res
olutions recently adopted by the Fishing Ex-
change of Portland, concerning the seizure
of the Ella NJ. Doughty, and they were re-
ferred to the committee ON foreign affairs.
Messrs. Sargent, Lord & Skillin received a
despatch yesterday from Capt. Doughty, of
the Ella NJ. Doughty, stating he was at Hall
fax, and would be home tomorrow.

LOOK OUT FOR THEM.
A Dangerous Counterfeit Silver Dollar
In Circulation.

Last evening we received pleasant call
from Mr.. W. Dickerman of New York, agent
of the U. S. Treasury Counterfeit Detector,
and during his visit he exhibited large
number of counterfeit silver and gold coins,
also counterfeit greenbacks and national
bank notes. Among the silver COINS was
dollar which Mr.. Dickerman said has had
quite large circulation in Portland, Boston
and other eastern cities 1t is composed OF
anthony and so heavily silver plated that it
resists the acid test.
Mr.. Dickerman says this counterfeit coin
weighs $50 grains, being 50 grains lighter
than the genuine. 1t is considerable thicker
than the genuine, as can be readily seen by
comparing it with other coins of the same
denomination known to be genuine. The
coin has the appearance of having been
struck from die, as the diverse and the re-
verse are sharp, clear and remarkably dis
tinct So well executed is this counterfeit as
to defy detection by 500 out of every 1000
people.
Mr.. James II. Vassar, coin expert of the
U. S. sub-treasury of Boston, informed Mr..
Dickerman that it was the most dangerous
counterfeit dollar ever presented at that de-
partment; and he advises all who are
handling much silver to turn them up edge
ways and examine carefully the outer edges
Of all silver dollars. By so doing one can
see at glance a counterfeit of this denom-
nation. The metal of these counterfeits is
a trife darker than silver, and this shows
clearly to any one accustomed to handling
much silver. 1.-THE peculiar color of the
metal and the unusual thickness of these
counterfeits," Mr.. Vassar said to Mr.. Dicker-
man, "would enable any one to detect them
at once" We advise all our readers to
examine all silver dollars with care.

Evergreen Cemetery.

At this time of year hundreds of people are
attracted within the inclosed city of the
dead, which lis adorned in natures most
beautiful attire. The pillars at the entrance
of the grounds and the vases have been
freshly whitened by coat of paint. The
dead shrubbery in the hedges, and debris
has been removed, giving bright and cheer
full look to the main driveway. Superinten-
dent Floyd has had thirty-four men en-
ployed since the snow left the grounds, and
one hundred and eight days work has been
accomplished in clearing up the grounds,
which, owing to the damage done the trees
by the ice storm last winter, was largely in
excess of previous winters.
A number of fine monuments have been
erected this season. Among the more prom
1nent appears those bearing the names of
Bion Bradbury, Volney Barker, Longley,
Warren and Haskell. In the western part
of the cemetery an imposing granite monu-
ment is in process of erection, bearing the
name ''Dole." 1t is nine feet square at the
base and eighteen feet high, set in three
blocks. Near this lot is laid the foundation
for statue of Hope, erected by Mr.. Samuel
Wilds of New York. The base is Hallowell
granite, ten feet, by seven and a half feet.
The cap stone is two feet ten inches, the die
is dark Quincy granite, cut at John Bells
yard.
The steps of red granite at the entrance of
the Relief Association Portland Fire De-
partment lot are laid, and progress is being
made in laying out the grounds. The lot is
located in the northern part of the cemetery.
A blind drain is being constructed under
the hill near the summer house, to conduct
the surface water to the pond.
The ornamental lots have been carefully
looked after and those who visited them a
short time ago enjoyed the beauty of the va
ried colored tulips and flowers which soon
faded and now are gone.
The geese, ducks and swan have withstood
the frost and cold winds of winter in their
comfortable houses and are sailing upon the
surface of the clear water with majestic
grace.
As the National Decoration Day draws
nigh Mr.. Floyd and his assistant Mr.. Toll
man, are busily engaged looking after the
interests of the hundreds who daily visit the
cemetery seeking information concerning
the resting places of departed loved ones.
1t is pleasant for acquaintance and strang-
es also to transact business with these men
who are admirably qualified for the import
ant and sacred duties devolving upon them.

Amusement Notes.

While the Saturday matinee was in pro-
gress at the Star Theatre in New York, dur
ing the interior cottage scene of the Lady
of Lyons" long sheet of paper was blown
from shelf at the back of the stage. 1T
lodged near a blazing fire on the hearth, and
another draught might have sent it into the
flames, with the risk of panic in the crowd
ed house. Miss Mary Anderson was in the
height of her simulated chagrin and distress
which follows the discovery of Melnotte's
imposition, but without the least variation
from the feeling she was portraying she
reached the paper and threw it out of dan
ger.
Tomaso Salvini, during the theatrical tour
in this country, was furnished four candles
every night by his manager. These candles
were not used, and the economical tragedan
has carried home with him sufficient num-
Der of candles to illuminate his castle on the
Lake of Como, Italy, for months to come.
Mr.. F. A. Bent's full orchestra, with Mrs.
M. A. Bent and Miss Lena Reynolds,

18th anniversary since he signed the temper
ance pledge. All seats are free.

If this return is correct, it is bad show
ing for the city, as the number of deaths for
the same period was 663, showing an excess
of deaths over births of 1876 for the year.
Especially is the discrepancy shown in
Ward 3, where the assessor found only 81
births during the year, to offset 100 deaths
during the same time. Evidently the days
of Ward are numbered, unless immigration
can be greatly encouraged Perhaps a
re-canvass of the ward would show better
results.
In 1SS4-5 the births were 46S against 74S
deaths, and for 1884 the births were 496
against 712 deaths.
