Citizens Mutual Relief.

An adjourned meeting of the Citizens
Mutual Relief Association was held last eve
ming in Reception Hall. About so of the
members were there, and the president, By
ron D. Verrill, Esq, not being present, Mr..
Lord, the vice president, presided. The re-
ports of Secretary Rollins and Treasurer
Brown were read and accepted.
Charles c. Harmon and George N. Fernald
were admitted to membership, and eleven APP
plications for admission swere received and
laid over to the next monthly meeting The
question Of the time at which these applica-
lions should be considered occasioned some
discussion. Mr.. Belknap maintained that
the rule under which they were laid oyer
was made by the directors, and had the same
force as bylaw. Mr.. d. orc. O'Donoghue
took a different view. M. G. A. Baker
thought that a good precedent had been es-
tabllshed, and the rule was safe one to fol-
low whether it was or was not bylaw
The association voted to lay the matter over
and motion to reconsider was lost.
Mr.. .O'D0nOghue proposed an amendment
to Art. 8 OF the bylaws, by striking out 10
and inserting 25, so that a quorum shall con-
SlSt OF 20 members, and that quorum shall
be competent to alter or amend the bylaws,
provided that two-thirds of the members
voting shall not be less than quorum, and
all rules or parts of rules inconsistent with
this rule are rescinded. The amendment lies
on the table one month.
On motion of Mr.. M. G. Palmer, the mat
ter of the associations claim against Mr.. M.
n. Rich, the former secretary, was taken
from the table and referred to the board of
directors, who are to report at future meet
ing.
One hundred members not being present,
the amendments to the constitution and by
laws now awaiting action could not be
passed upon.

peerlng Water suppIx.

Next Monday the town of Deering will
vote on the proposition of the Portland
Water Company to introduce into said town
a supply of water for extinguishing of fires
and domestic purposes.
The following facts may be of interest to
the voters who will be called upon to act on
this question.
The company propose to lay not less than
$4,000 feet and s inch iron pipe, and in adj
dition will lay smaller pipes intthe cross
streets connecting with the main pipes,
where required for domestic supply, and
will set and maintain at their own expense,
in any part of the town of Deering, (exceDt
on the 20 and "a inch mains,) 80 hydrants
wherever located by the selectmen, and
furnish water for public buildings used for
town purposes, school houses, engine and
hose houses, and four public drinking foun-
ta1nS Tor man and beast.
For this service the company ask the town
to pay $2500 per annum for Is years from
Jan. l, 1887 this sum is based as rental for
30 hydrants at $50 per year. At the expira-
ton of 10 years the company agree that the
80 hydrants shall become the property of the
town and to furnish water free thereafter
for hydrantS. The contract provides for adj
ditional hydrants at $50 each.
The pipes will be laid in the streets at
East East Deeerlng,, Woodford's Corner, Deering
these several localities will be connected
with pipe of ample size to furnish water for
fire protection, under sufficient pressure for
use without the aid of steam fire engines.
The highest elevation on Plains road is
less than the elevation at the corner of Con-
gress and State streets, Portland, the eleya
ton at MorrilPs corner being about the same
as Congress at Oak street.
Elevation OF Sebago Lake is 267 feet above
tide. Maine Central railroad track at Nor
rill's Corner is LOG, difference being 161 feet,
which represents the head under which
water will be supplied at this point
To the question, are the terms reasonable?
No better reply can be made than by show
ing what is paid in other places, in 1880
Deering had a population of 1924 valuation
50, 585,S25 Gardiner had population of
4,439; valuation $2,379,129; is compactly
built, no ledge and in all respects the condi-
tons for supply were more favorable than
Deerlng, last year entered into contract with
the Gardiner Water Company for 20 years !;
for the first 60 hydrants they are to pay $50
each, next Is $40, all over 70 $25; they were
to have the water free for the same build
ings as Deering and two drinking fountains.
Biddeford, Saco and Rockland introduced
water last year and pay for each hydrant
$50 per annum. All things taken into con-
sideration no city or town has received a
more favorable offer than made by the Port
land Water Company to the town of Deeripg

Three Years In asia Minor.

Hon. W. E. Stevens, late consul at Smyrna,
Turkey, lectured last evening in the NJ. c.
NJ A. free course to a crowded house.
The lecture began by description of the
journey from the United States to Asia
Minor. The various places of interest visit
ed on the way were briefly noted, and de-
scription of the city of Smyrna, as it first APP
peared to the traveller, was given. Smyrna
is situated at the foot of mountain: Its
latitude is about the same as Washington,
while its climate is eQuable and salubrious.
The surrounding country is almost entirely
destitute of forests cypress being the only
forest tree. OF the grains, wheat, rye, oats,
beans and corn are cultivated Olives, figs,
oranges and pomegranate are among the
fruits. Game abounds. and hunting the
wild boar is one of the favorite sports of the
gentry.
The streets of Smyrna are usually in poor
condition, many of them being too narrow to
permit the passage of a vehicle. The strang
er is greeted by sights, sounds and smells
entirely different from anything hitherto
known to him. The smells outnumber those
of Cologne. Beggars assail one at every
corner. These are mostly imposters, and in
scantiness OF attire they resemble the typical
HOttentOt
The Turkish ladies have few privileges.
The Koran even excludes them from para
disc. On the street they are obliged to go
yelled, but if they are pretty the wind some-
times lifts the wells. The lady must walt for
the gentleman to recognize her before she
can speak
There is not single daily paper in the
city. The wealth and trade of Smyrna is
mostly in the hands of Americans, but
Turkey is not manufacturing country
even the ''fez' which the Turk wears night
and day is imported from Germany. There
are, however, some few articles manufac-
tured, chief among which are carpets and
rugs, these excelling those of Persia.
To the archaeologist Smyrna is a paradise;
the ruins of the AcropOlis of Smyrna, the
tomb of Pantalus, found fifty years ago by a
Frenchman while digging under the founda-
ton of a pagan temple the baths Of Diana;
Roman viaducts, baths, etc., are to be found
within radius Of five miles of the city.
The lecturer described the government of
Turkey, showing its corruption, and ended
by saying, 1T will be but a short time, if
man Empire will have name only in his
tory. God speed the day.

his residence, and presented him with a sill
yer ice pitcher valued at $125, an elegant
mahogany table, a bisque figure and testi-

of their regard. After the arrival of the
delegation Mr.. ]. d. Printable was called
upon to make the presentation, which he did
in few well chosen remarks.
Mr.. Shaw, although taken completely by
surprise, responded feelingly, his heart
felt thanks displaying the manly qualities
that have won for him hosts Of friends.

highly complimentary to her qualities as
hostess.

lor and were treated to some musical num-
bers on the piano by Mr.. L. Fl. E. Foristal,
and some choice selections by the quartet.
