STATE reform School.

Gov. Robbie and Executive Council visited
the State Reform School yesterday, and made
a careful examination of the affairs and con-
dition of the school. Mrs. George S. Hunt,
member of the visiting committee, was also
present. We understand that there are no
members of the school, and since the intro
duction of the Sebago water and steam, there
has not been single case of severe sickness
and at the present time every boy IN the
school is enjoying perfect health. A few
years ago there were many complaints abou'
the food and the treatment the boys received
from the officers, but today, instead of COM
plants, there is universal satisfaction ex-
pressed by every boy. This information is
obtained from interviews with the boys
themselves Mrs. Hunt has given the inter
estS of the school much of her time, and has
secured the confidence of the boys. In
many instances, through her efforts, the
boys have been provided with suitable EN-
ployment after they have been discharged
for merit, or on account of expiration of
their term of service. There is an unusual
religious interest amongst the boys, and sew
eral recent conversions are reported. Meet
ings for prayer and exhortation are frequent
ly held, conducted by the boys themselves.
There has been some misrepresentation in re-
gard to the attitude of the trustees about al
lowing Catholic priests to visit the institu-
ton. We understand that there has never
been any refusal on the part of the managers
of the institution to admit the representa-
tive of that denomination, or any other, to
administer to the spiritual wants of the
boys. The largest liberty has been, and will
continue to be practiced, but the laws of the
State and the interests of the boys forbid
that it should ever be made sectarian in
ctitutinn

p. L. I. Veterans.

About thirty of the veteran members of
the Portland Light Infantry met at the
headquarters of the First Regiment in this
city last evening for the purpose of forming
veteran association. Those present were
enthusiastic and set to work in earnest to
awaken interest among their old comrades.
Edward Pearson was chosen chairman of
the meeting, and E. c. Jose secretary. A
committee, consisting of j. B. Pike, Capt.
Geo. E. Brown and Geo. w. Furlong, was
appointed to wait upon former members who
had joined the Infantry prior to and includ-
ing 1861, when the company was known as
the White Coats from the color of the coats
which, with blue pants and bearskin he'll
NETS, composed the dress uniform of the
organization. Eugene Kennard, G. E. SOM
erby and H. A. Mcdonald were appointed
another committee to wait upon the men,
bers who subsequently served under Colonel
Mattocks Remarks were made by Messrs.
Brown, Pike, Pearson, Furlong, Day and
Jose, all speaking heartily in favor of the
association. 1t is hoped that the organiza-
ton will be perfected before the proposed
visit of the Veteran Organization of the
Worcester Light Infantry to Portland and in
time to fttingly celebrate the anniversary of
the company on the 9Th of June. When the
meeting adjourned it was with every pros
pect of success. Another meeting will be
held in the same place two weeks from last
evening, and the committees will then report
and further action will be taken

Rehn,s Water coIors.

The exhibition of water c0l0rs at Mr..
Cyrus K. DaviS'S art rooms on Congress
street should attract the attention of all
artists and art amateurs in Portland. Mr..
f. K NJ. REIN, the artist, is a Philadelphia,
who practiced his art as a marine painter in
that city until he began to win reputation by
the excellence of his works, and then moved
to New York, where he has resided for the
past four or five years. This artists works,
which have been on exhibition at the Ameri-
can Art Gallery in New York, represent sea,
shore and sky and different aspects of
illumination.
The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph says:
"Mr. REIN has improved in many respects
since he left Philadelphia. He has gained
the ability to look Nature square in the face
and make positive demand upon her fur
Their artistic secrets. But apart from this
Mr.. REIN has notably gained in the way of
a mastery of color The color of some of
these water colors is very peculiar, and it
leaves the impression of being a true record
of effects in nature which would not appeal
to every eye, and which many painters
would find so elusive that report would be
practically impossible"
The Yonkers Gazette says Of one of the
paintings, on exhibition at Mr.. Daviss, the
"Off Shore Breeze" which took the $3.50
prize for the best water color at the Ameri-
can Art Association exhibition in New
York, that it is a masterpiece. 1t says
farther:
1T is only a waste of water with a
breaking billow; but the water is all life,
billow which has just broken, as it topples
over in its mad plunge for the shore, is
whirled and thrown backward by the strong
wind. 1t is marvelously strong as picture
when we consider how successfully the
strength of these two great elements are
thus depicted

on Board the Vancouver.

Between 4 and O'Clock yesterday after
noon, Capt. Lindall and the managers of the
Dominion Steamship Company held recep-
ton on board the Vancouver at the Grand
Trunk wharves. Many invitations were is
sued and during the hours of the reception
the decks and cabins of the steamer were
covered with people, the ladies being in a
majority. Capt. Lindall received at the left
entrance of the saloon. In the music room,
Just above the saloon, Grimmers orchestra
was stationed, and music was rendered from
time to time, while an elegant lunch was be-
ing served below, from tables tastefully dec

Sweden and the swedes.

Hon. w. w. Thomas, Jr., delivered his
new lecture ON the land of the midnight sun
in Granite Hall, Augusta, on Tuesday eve
ning March 9th.
The Kennebec Journal speaks of the lee
ture as follows:
Seldom, if ever, has larger or more brilliant
than that which filled its floors and galleries last
evening when Hon. W. W. Thomas, Jr, of Port
land, delivered his celebrated lecture entitled
Sweden and the Swedes." In the audiences were
many of the most prominent gentlemen in the city
and all were well repaid for their attendance. Mr..
Thomas lectured under the auspices of the Y. M.
G. ASSOCIATION OF Augusta, and very generously
devoted the entire proceeds to the organization.
From 7.3o to 8 O'Clock Pullen's orchestra render
ed delicious concert and at the latter hour Hon.
James w. Bradbury introduced the speaker in a
very happy manner.
Mr.. Thomas occupied one hour and half in the
delivery of his lecture, and as the title indicates,
it was about the Swedes; and he gave a highly en-
PERTAINING and instructive account of their GUS
toms, country, government and great men, and
was frequently and heartily applauded. Probably
no native American has been so intimately con-
nected with Sweden as Mr.. Thomas. He was
consul to that country in 1926, under Lincoln
also minister in 18S3-85. He speaks the Swedish
language as his own, and has translated Swedish
literature into the English language. Mr.. Thorn
as was the founder of New Sweden in the forests
of Maine, which now numbers 1000 contented and
thriving inhabitants. The lecturers manner and
bearing were impressive as well as pleasing; his
words eloquent.
At the conclusion of the lecture many lead
ing citizens of Augusta pressed upon the
platform and warmly congratulated Mr..
Thomas Among them were noticed Hon.
James G. Blaine, ex-U. S. Senator, Hon.
James w. Bradbury, and Mr.. Thomas pre-
decessor at the court of Sweden and Norway,
Hon. John L. Stevens.

a Successful SwindIer.

The versatile gentleman who has swindled
a number of people in this vicinity, and who
attempted to get Mr.. Fay of the Boston
Globe to cash a bogus check for him, Tues
day went to Ligonia and told the people
there that he was about to open big grocery
store. He accepted the invitation of one of
his prospective customers to take dinner, and
later borrowed Sc to pay freight bill; then
he disappeared. He gave the name of Nc
Gregor at this place.
Yesterday forenoon young man appear
ed at the Grand Trunk depot and asked for
Mr.. McGregor of that road. The young man
came prepared to go right to work, with his
dinner pail and overalls, and said that he
had been employed by Mr.. McGregor to
climb telegraph poles for two dollars day.
He met the man in barber shop the evening
previous, but did not say that he had lent
any money to his supposed employer
During the day gentleman from Cumber-
land appeared at the Grand Trunk station,
and he, too, asked for Mr.. McGregor. He
said that this man calling himself McGregor
went to Cumberland and represented that he
was to bring a large number of Grand Trunk
workmen there, and would like to find a
boarding place for them. He said he was an
officer Of the road and easily found board
ing-house keeper willing to lend him $5,with
which he diSappeared.

Bishop HeaIy's Special Audience with
the Pope.

The special correspondent of the Boston
Pilot writes from Rome, February 11th that
''on the evening of Monday, Feb Sth, the
Holy Father gave special audience to Mgr.
James Augustine Healy, Bishop of Portland,
Maine. On this occasion Bishop Healy was
accompanied by three Boston students
studying in the American College--Messrs.
Lyons, Supple and CONTAMINATION he
resented to the Holy Father He was also
accompanied by the family of the late Sen
ator Casserly of California, and by Mr..
Furey, paymaster of the United States Navy.
The bishop presented to His Holiness some
elegant baskets made by the Indians OF the
Penobseot and Passamaquoddy tribes In
Maine. The Holy Father received these
gifts with great pleasure and sent, by the
bishop, a particular blessing to these Indian
tribes. The Pontifcal audience was most
satisfactory in every way to the Bishop, as
well as to those who accompanied him and
were presented to the Pope, who addressed
each of them in affectionate terms. Bishop
Healy left Rome Feb. 18th for Naples. His
health had not been good in Rome. If pos
sible, he will visit Jerusalem before his re-
Turn, but this journey will depend entirely
on the state OF the Bishops health"

REPEArERs FROM PORTLAND.
Alleged Election Frauds in BIdde-
ford.

On election day, in Biddeford, four men
were arrested, charged with illegally voting
there. Yesterday these men were arraigned
in the Municipal Court in that city. Hon.
Wilbur F. Lunt of this city appeared for the
prosecution, and Benjamin F. Chadbourne,
ESQ.,. of Biddeford, for the prisoners Dep
uty Sheriff Benjamin Gribben went out to
the trial to identify the men, and as they
were brought into the court room he recog-
nized the one charged with voting twice as
Lawrence Charlton, and the others as Fred
erick ellis and William and Frederick
Smith, brothers, William being well known
as Finger" Smith.
They have all figured in the Portland po-
lice court, and had all given fictitious names
in Biddeford, but finding Gribben there, and
knowing that in his twelve years experience
as a policeman here he had encountered
them and knew all about their records, they
promptly acknowledged their identity
Lawyer Chadbourne waived examination
for his clients, who were placed under $500
bonds each for their appearance at the May
term of the Supreme Court. After good
deal of delay Elias Clark and c. Z. Good
win appeared as their bondsmen.
The following witnesses then gave thelr
personal recognizances in the sum Oh Soo
each, for their appearance at the same Time
and place: Fred Emmons, William bryans'
Frank Hooper, Edgar A. Hubbard, =. H.
Sawtelle, John Hanson, Benjamin i. oan-
born. Charles Hill, David Webster, +. A.
Foote, Eva Mason, Henry A. Hewes, Joseph
Cote. Charles H. Andrews and Benjamin
Gribben.
Some of the above gang it is said, 'went out
to Biddeford last spring and played the same
game. While in Jail the prisoners inquired
for Joseph Cote, an employe of the Portland
Custom House, who, it is alleged, had been
actively engaged working for the Democratic
party in Biddeford at this election, and de-
sorting his post in violation of the civil ser
vice reform laws.
