bled in the vestry Of the Chestnut Street
Church at $50 o'clock yesterday, when a
temporary organization was effected with
Rev. w. S. Jones. chairman and Rev. S.

A paper on the "Perils of Young Peo-
pies Societies" written by Rev. 5. F. Weth-
erbee, was read by the Rev. James Nixon.
lively discussion took place upon the name
which should be given to the league to be
formed. the decision being against the use of
the word "Epworth" and in favor of 1.-THE
District League Of the Maine Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church"
At the afternoon session the following off,
GERS were elected:
President-Dr. M. B. Cobb Of Biddeford.

gave an excellent address on the "Advan-

thing. Young peoples societies are means

MRS. Laura Omission Chant.

1t is announced in private circles that this
charming lady who electrified Boston with
ner eloquence two years ago, and whose
houses were crowded with distinguished au-
oiences every time she appeared in public,

Mrs. Chant has been pronounced by compe-
tent authority the foremost woman speaker
IN Great Britain; a born philanthropist. She
brings 70 her work q beautiful presence, and
tne eitt Oh eioquence, combined with exqui-
site womanly refinement and tenderness.

OLD ENGLISH RECORDS.
AIralk to the Genealogical ;soole.y.

Last evening an appreciative audience in
the society room of the Baxter Hall. listened
with close attention for upwards of an hour
to Mr.. Henry F. Waters of Salem. Mass.
Mr. Waters was introduced by Hon. Mar
quis F. King, and in an entertaining way
gave some account of his researches among
the old English records.
In 1879 an old college friend invited him
to accompany him to Europe. Being tinct-
ured with antiquarianism, and having faint
ed his friend, they found great pleasure in
working together. In May. 1883. ne returned
to Europe, sent there for special work, and
has remained there ever since. with only
brief vacations to his home, and six out of
the last seven years have been spent in the
prosecution of that work. He had always
been more or less interested In the study of
genealogy. To trace our ancesters-who
can tell how to begin without any cluep The
first step is in looking up wills. In his re-
searches Mr.. Waters has examined one hun
dred thousand wills, made abstracts from
SoOO Wills, 1000 of which ought to be pub
ilshed as relating to American families.
Step by step, through wills of different per-
sons, he traced the ancestry of John Har-
ward. the founder of Harvard College. The
finest old house In Stratford- finest In ar
chltecture-next to Garrick Inn, bears the
date 1886, and was the home of John Har-
wards maternal grandmother.
The name of Washington he found in IA or
10 counties in England. and in Antwerp and
Ireland But through wills he traced the
family to Virginia
To do this work requires, says Mr.. Waters,
patience and enthusiasm. He certainly has
both in great degree. Sometimes the work
was tedious; sometimes amusing. as for in
stance where he would come across a will
where the testator left five shillings to buy
his mother-in-law shroud; another left
four pence for his brother to buy halter
and third left few pence for neighbor
to buy string of onions in order that he
might shed tears at his (the testator's) flu
neral.
At the close Of Mr. Waters's lecture, OF
talk. on motion of General j. M. Brown, a
vote of thanks was extended to him.
1t being the regular meeting of the Asso-
citation. the following names were proposed
for membership:
Z. B. Mallet, Jr, Freeport
John :. Russell, Arthur X. Hunt and Edward
William r. G. Estes, skowhegan, for active
members.

A New Moving Machine.

The Portland Company has just completed
a moving machine which will revolutionize
moving. The machine is the invention of
j. o. Brown, who has worked for years In
completing it. Its essential principle is that
the knives are set on an endless chain, re-
volying In one direction. By an ingenious
device piece Of case-hardened steel is
brought In contact with the edge Of the
knives, by touching lever with the foot, SO
that the knives can be ground In the field.
When it is desired to raise the cutter-bar
from the ground to clear stone, 1t can be
done by the foot. 1t is possible for the oper-
ator to control the machine entirely by foot
power. so reserving the use of his hands to
