Visit to the Reform school.

Yesterday morning Gov. Robe, with Gov
ernor-elect Bodwell, Messrs. Locke and
Hatch of the Governors Council, Messrs.
Albion Little and NJ. P. Emery of the Board
Of Trustees, and Mrs. George S. Hunt of the
Board of Visitors, visited the Reform School
1t was the last visit of Governor Robbie and
the members of his council prior to the in
auguration of Governor Bodwell. 1t was the
first visit of Mr.. Bodwell to the institution.
After a thorough inspection of the
premises, which were found in excellent con-
dition and an examination of the boys, an
excellent dinner was enjoyed. After dinner
Gov. Robbie congratulated Mr.. Harrington,
the superintendent, and the boys on their
fine appearance in the neat blue uniforms
with brass buttons, and on their good record
in the accounts given of them by their Off
GERS. Mr.. BOdwell told the boys it was the
first visit he had paid the institution and he
was much impressed, and fayorably so with
what he had seen. Mr.. Little, called for to
address the boys, said he would speak for
the boys. He recalled the fact that two
years ago he had asked Gov. ROBBIE, when he
called to see the school, if he did not think
an appropriation to dress the boys in a suit
in which they would take pride would be
beneficial and the result was the appropri-
alton was secured by which the present at
tractiye uniform was procured He would
suggest to Mr.. Bedwell, for the boys, that
good appropriation from the coming legisla-
ture would serve to continue the good work
and that now, when he saw for himself what
the school was and the progress it made he
would be apt to bear the suggestion all the
better in remembrance. Mrs. George S.
Hunt asked the boys if they could remember
the topic ON which she spoke when she adj
dressed them two years ago, and many hands
were raised and the answer quickly came
LEND Hand" Mrs. Hunt, then, from this
subject, told in very pointed way what
little help in good cause can always ac-
complish and the boys listened with great
interest and attention.
After the visit to the school Gov Robbie,
Gov. Bodwell and the rest of the party re-
turned to the city, arriving about four o'clock.

citizens of Portland, who had assembled to
witness the marriage of Mr. Charles Fred
erick Mathewson of New York, and Miss
jeanne Campbell, eldest daughter of Hon.

For half hour previous Mr.. Kotzschmar

on the organ. At the appointed hour Mr.
Mathewson and Miss Anderson entered the
church, both in walking costume, and pre-
coded by the ushers, Mr.. Davis of New York,
Messrs. Wadsworth Longfellow and Sum-
ner Richardson of Portland, and James S.
McCobb of Boston. The couple were joined
in marriage by Rev. DR.. Hill. At the concur

Mrs. Emma case MARSH.

The funeral services Of Mrs. Emma Case
Marsh were held at Woodford's yesterday
afternoon. The services of prayer at the
house were conducted by the Rev. G. H.
Daniels, after which the funeral cortege
went to the church for the last services of
love. A large congregation was gathered to
take a last farewell of one so well known and
loved. A large number of clergymen of all
denominations were present A sense of
subdued and hallowed feeling came to the
very atmosphere of this sacred house, in
which the deceased, as the pastors wife, had
been the most prayerful listener and earnest
helper. Above the pulpit were the words
Gates Ajar." Beautiful flowers were sent
in love, the pillows, the star and the cross,
with the words, Beyond the Gates,'
Sister," and 'At Rest" After singing by
the quartette of the hymn Nearer my God
to Thee" Scripture selections were read,
beginning: "The Lord is good, a strong
hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth
them that trust in Him." followed by words
OF promise, resurrection, Immortality and
future glory in heaven for saints.
The sermon followed. preached by Rev. F.
faith. As basis for his thought he took a
text from Gen. v, "a: And Enoch walked
with God and was not, for God took him. {"
This was used to illustrate two aspects of
death; first to sight, absence-"he was not, :"
the dread loneliness in the thought that the
friend is gone; then to faith. "God took
him." This is a translation, not death.
Faith says, sit is the Lord" not fate, or
law or misfortune. Faith says, ITO die is
GAIN" because it is to be forever with the
Lord, "-diyine presence and companionship
with Me-" The speaker urged with great
comfort the Divine Word as the source of
confidence; the divine love as the ground of
peace. and trusting Jesus as the substance
of Christian solace.
The prayer of supplication was offered by
Rev. l.. III. Hallock, returning thanks for
the ministryo love and faith, the example
of conservation, and the life well lived and
now ended in the faith; also praying for
Gods sanctifying grace upon the church, the
kindred, and most of all, the bereayed hus-
band and children.
After singing There's land that is
fairer than day." the benediction was pro-
nounced by Rev. Mr.. Daniels. As the long
line of people passed by the bier, men and
women, the young and the old, unable to
control their feelings, wept, and on every
side was seen the sincerest grief and SYM
pathy The remains were then taken to the
train to be conveyed to the home of her
parents in Cambridge, Mass.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
TaE ARMANINI rAMILY.

The patrons of the Stockbridge course were
| treated to a genuine surprise last night.
| They thought they had heard mandolin play
| ing when they listened to the Spanish Stu
dents, but it must be admitted that until last
evening they never had heard such effects as
were produced by the Armanini Family
The family is composed of the father, mother
little daughter of about nine years of age
and two sons. With the exception of the
mother, who plays the guitar the others de-
vote themselves to the mandolin. For deli
cacy of touch, where this is required,
breadth, richness and volume of tone, and
wonderful display of technique, these five
players must be unrivaled. One would as
soon expect such combination to attempt
Beethoven symphony as to try and give the
overture to William Tell" and yet this
FAMILY played the latter composition and
WIN such effects as to give the impression
tnat u was presented bya full stringed
orchestra and an admirable one at that. The
SOLO part, IN the selection from I'll Ballo,"
by Little Marie, was given with perfection
OF execution, and an intelligence that was
surprising for one of her years. The pro-
gramme was varied and gave an opportunity
70 note tne entlre command the family
possess over their instruments.
Mr.. William II. Fessenden's beautiful
tenor was heard in two selections, but his
most delightful number was that sung as an
encore, an exquisite song by Nicolai, ex-
quisitely sung. Mr.. Harvey Murray played
Mr.. FesSenden's accompaniment with great
taste.
