a DESERVED TESTIMONIAL.
Deputy Marshal CroweII Properly
Honored.

For some days it has been quietly suggest
ed by members of the police force that some
testimonial should be presented to ex-Depu-
ty Marshal Crowell, as a slight token Of the
esteem and respect in which he is held by
those who have served under him. The sug-
gestion became a definite purpose with a
plan to surprise Mr.. Crowell and yesterday
1t was put in operation.
The members of the police force subscribed
literally to the fund to be used in the pur.
chase Of the present and ex-Marshal Green
was employed to make the presentation. 1t
was arranged that the affair should take
place in the Grand Army building, on Free
street, at o'clock Members of the police
force quietly entered the building by ones
and twos, until at o'clock some 80 were
present.
Mr.. Green went to Mr.. CrowelPs house on
MuDjoy Hill shortly before 2 o'clock, and,
after making a short call, invited him to go
to ride. Mr. Crowell accepted the invitation
and they started off, driving around the
streets for a short time, finally bringing up
at the Grand Army building. Mr.. CrOwell
was invited into the main post room, the
policemen being concealed in the parlors. At
signal they filed into the large room and
surrounded Mr. Crowell, shaking hands with
him and then taking seats around the room.
After few moments Mr.. Green stepped
forward and, addressing Mr.. Crowell, re-
ferred feelingly to his long service in the de-
partment, and the veneration, esteem and
love in which he was held; referred to the
recent change in city affairs, in which Mr..
Crowell had been removed and another ap-
pointed in his place; and while as good citi-
zens all were ready to bow to the will of the
| superior powers, still they had right TO
| challenge the reasons and motives that
brought about the discharge of an old and
efficient officer, and an appointment made in
his place for political reasons only. He said
he was delegated by the police department
| to present him token of those feelings. He
| then took up a cane, which had been lying
| in a place of concealment, and in few well
chosen words put it into Mr.. CrowelPs
hands. That gentleman was completely
taken by surprise and visibly affected, and it
was some time before ne could stammer a
few broken words of thanks, and to wish the
policemen we'll. At the conclusion of Mr..
Crowell's words the officers again pressed
forward and shook him by the hand before
they passed out.
The cane, which is a very handsome stick,
carries a heavy gold head, with the inscrp
ton Presented to Jesse FL. Crowell by the
Portland Police Department. April 1, 1891"

WHEN WE WERE BOYS.
1880.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Having been located on Exchange street
as man and boy for over half century some
of nv old friends have said to me that they
would take pleasure in having me recall to
the mind some of the local celebrities, incl
dents and well known characters that
abounded in this city in the "forties." Such
"reminiscences will of course be necessarily
disconnected, as | shall jOt them down here
as may happen to think of them, and If
succeed in carrying any Of my readers back
to the days of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too"
and bring fond recollections to view, or even
a smile to their face as they recall the good
old days now past and gone, then my efforts
will not have been in vain. Suppose we

NEAL Dow-CHIEF ENGINEER.
1t would appear to almost anyone that in
1841, Neal Dow could not have had much
spare time on his hands. Although engaged
in active business at that time, he was chief
engineer of the Fire Department of this city,
aid-de-camp to Gov Kent, of whom it was
said Maine went
"Hell bent,
For Gov. Kent"
He was also director in the Manufactur-
ers and Traders Bank, member of the
school committee, secretary and treasurer of
the Portland Atheneum, and corresponding
secretary of the Maine Charitable Mechanic
Association. The duties as ald-de-camp in
those days must have been more onerous
than at the present time, as we find the

Mayor True on a Board Of Public
Works.

In an interview with Mayor True by an
Advertiser reporter yesterday, the Mayor
said he believed in the plan of board of
public works; that board of three, honest,
intelligent men could carry on the business
much better than it is done at present. He
did not believe In abolishing the common
council as he considered it an excellent
school for young men, and check on the
upper board. He was not prepared to give
an opinion on the advisability of putting the
streets into the charge of the city engine 49,
