PORTLAND PRESS CLUB.
Action Taken on the Death Of Z. n.
EIWeiI.


There was a special meeting oil the Press
Club at their rooms last evening. In the
necessary absence of the PRESIDENT MT. W.
II. Mcdonald occupied the chair. A COM
nittee was appointed to give form to the sem
timent of the club regarding the death Of
Mr.. E. Fl. ElwelI, editor of the Transcript,
and they reported the following declaration.
which was adopted by rising vote:
The Press Club of Portland desire to put
on record their mingled feelings of pride,
regret and sympathy caused by the death Of
one, who though not member of their asso-
citation was the city's oldest editor, and had,
through long life. done honor to teeir pro
fessi0n.
They feel pride that native and life long
resident OF this city should have lived so re-
spected as a man, so honored as q citizen,
and left behind him such record of faith
full service as an editor. For more than forty
years he had held the position which he filled
to the hour of his death. and, dying, there
were no pages of his paper which he would
be ashamed to leave behind him.
They feel with regret that the days of his
usefulness are numbered, that the kindly
assistance and encouragement which 1t has
been his privilege and pleasure to extend to
hundreds OF young and ambitious men and
women throughout New England, and from
which so much good has resulted, can no
longer be looked for. Many an author and
many a newspaper man can say tonight that
for their first honest criticism and judicioua
announcement they were indebted to Ed
ward I'll. Elwell.
They feel sympathy for their associate,
Edward 81. Elwell, Jr., and the other men,
bers Of the family, who have suffered this ir-
reparable loss; for the personal friends who
have lost genial and cultured companion
for the community in which he lived; and
Tor that, In which and for which, he had so
long, faithfully and successfully labored.
May his rest be sweet.
1t was voted that a committee should at
tend the funeral. and the president of the
club and Mr.. Albert Harmon. with such as
they may join with themselves, were APP
pointed such committee.
