Edward Q. Goodnow, aged 80.
The deceased was we'll known In Maine In
connection with public positions filled by
him, and at the time Of his death was u. s.
consul at st. Stephen. N. b.
he was In the full vigor OF young manhood

The Lover of righteousness.

To the Editor Of The Press:
III the correspondent 10 the Portland
Herald who signs his name "a Lover OF
Righteousness" had given his real name,
perhaps the readers Of the Herald would
known better how much credit to give to his
statement. He may possibly be the indI-
dual who was publicly expelled from the
church to which he refers for dIshonorable
and dishonest practice. while hypOcritically
retaining membership. From the falsIty of
his statement In regard to Mr. Mariners re-
tanning his membership when under a charge
OF search and seizure and for liquor nuisance,
one would naturally infer that he had no
better principle than the hyp0erite, referred
to who, when found out. was expelled from
graced.
In regard to Mr.. Mariner, it should be
said to his honor, that before engaging in a
business which might c0mplicate MIN In
charges OF violating the law, be withdrew
from the church, and received a letter Of
honorable dismissal. No charge whatever,
either dlsnonorable practice or otherwise,
was ever made against Mr.. Mariner while
he continued member Of the church nor
can any be tIuthfully made against him
since he withdrew, unless II be the fact that
he engaged In and still continues the Dottllng
business though not the sale Of intoxicating
liquors. 1t Is true that Mr.. Mariner some
time ago bought out the interest of Mr.. Muir
dock In the bOttling business carried on IN
der the name of Murdock &c freeman at No.
7 franklin street. In this business he EN-
ploys some twenty or Twenty-Five men. and
capital Of about SIS, 900.
The business consists Of bottling mineral
waters, preparing soda water and the various
other tonics and light beverages that are In
common use by our very best people, and In
this business Mr.. Mariner never handled,
even for others, anything stronger than lager
beer. Not a very dishonorable business
ever for a member In good standing In the
church. "Lover Of Righteousness" had bet
ter give a little more of his attention to
LOVE OF TRUTH.

The kermlss.

CITY Hall was packed last night, every
lncn OF space outside of that required for the
people engaged In the procession. and
dances, being occupied. The.various fea-
tures dwelt upon by the PRESS yesterday
were, II anything, more striking than at
hrst, because the participants were more ia
miliar with places and duties, and could
work more systematically. The ladies and
gentlemen who have devoted so much time
and patience In getting up this spectacle
for ills most attractive spectacle In every
-sense-are to be highly praised, and the chill
dren and young gentlemen and ladies In the
dances are TO be thanked for the pleasure af-
forded by them.
A great deal of ingenuity has been expend-
ed on the fanclful "getups" Of the exhibit
ors, and some Of them are quite elaborate,
while the blending OF eolors has been in
good taste and effective. The Foss exhibit
is one Of the handsomest things Of the kind
ever seen Ia Portland. and the young lady
who assumes the character Of "Purity."
Miss Carrie Brunell. has a face and graceful
figure that fully bears out the character.
This feature should have ended rather than
led the procession, on the ground that the
best things are always kept until the last.
1t would be impossible In the space afforded
by our columns to designate the character
and features Of each exhibit. 1t Is sufficient
to say that they afforded a most diverse and
bewildering series Of figures and attractive
set pieces. The dances were literally ap-
plauded, and the little Corson girl managed
her bicycle with the skill Of veteran.
The refreshment room, one Of the prlncI-
pal features Of the affair, has did rushing
business. Yesterday the patrons cleaned
Mr.. Pooler's stock out completely, and he
had to buy out the stock Of several restal-
rants and two bakeries, In the shape Of all
the bread, cake and other food they could
spare. to supply his tables.
Tonight the Kermlss will close with a
grand ball, and Gllbert's orchestra will fur

OF the season-a full dress affair, and many
elegant toilets will be seen. The floor d.

surrender of Barrundia exceeded the bounds
of his authority. and acted in violation Of
the precedents established In similar cases.
