Portland Woman's Christian Asso-
citation.
This association has been in existence
more than twenty years, but is less known
than it perhaps deserves.
The annual meeting was duly held at the
rooms OF the association in their building on
Spring street. The attendance was doubt
less lessened by the unfavorable weather
but there were enough present to transact
the necessary business, and to discuss with
Interest plans for the coming year.
The treasurer. Mrs. F. N. Dow, reported
the financies in good condition. The Home,
26 Spring street, has been self-sustainin g
throughout the year, and most of the time
with its full complement Of boarders. I'm
der the charge of Miss Kimball the Board
ing House," has been entirely successful.
Because. however, this boarding house is not
an Institution Of charity, let it not be sup.
posed that the association has no use for
money.
The report of the secretary, Mrs. Higgins
quoted largely from the quarterly returns OF
the association city missionary, Rev. Mr..
Wilson. de has been employed by the assc-
SA"eAoh AoA ooEOioi yCdAcs stfiuB
of his time to missionary work under their
direction. If means were furnished for SC.
curing his entire services 1t is believed q
good work would be accomplished. Are
there not those ready to become members,
cheerfully paying the annual fee of one dol
lar for this end?
During the last year Mr.. Wilson has visited
1405 families, and distributed 1851 pages of
religious, unsectarian, reading. More direct
cooperation of members Of the association
with Mr. Wilson In this work is earnestly
desired.
There are also other directions of effort
originally entered on by this association,
which it Is hoped may be successfully pur-
sued In the coming autumn, instruction
which would be helpful to young women In
fitting them for higher positions than they
would otherwise occupy In shops and stores,
etc. Should number of young women,
meanwhile, be added to the Associate men,
bership" annual fee 30 cents doubtless sew
eral classes for free instruction would be
formed the coming season.

PORTLAND THEATRE.

The excellent speciality company at this
house appeared in change of bill last night
and the new sketches were fully as amusing
as those which have held the attention Of the

North is pleasing vocalist. Sabloni is i'm
mense in his wire acts, Fenton, the boy bar
itone, has voice of much maturity for one
OF his age, Mr.. Littlefeld ia a capital mimic,
and Brown and Harrison call forth much APP
plause. The two act comedy, "The Sur
prise Party" gave great pleasure last night.
PAVILION THEATRE.
"a Bunch of Shamrocks," the play for the
opening, Monday, the Goth, is one that goes
quick. it never drags and the comedy comes
through it like sunshine through dark clouds
The company Is said to be one of unusual ex-
cellence and no doubt will all be favorites
before the season is far advanced. Miss
Ada Lewis. leading lady at Ed. Harrigan's
New York Theatre, accompanies Miss Pol
lock, the soubrette from the same theatre,
engaged for the Pavilion for this season.
Manager McCallum is deserving of success
for his efforts to please, and there should be
big house Monday night. Seats for sale at
St0ckbridge's.
NOTES.
Campanini, the great tenor, was never in
better shape than at the concert at Brush
wick on Wednesday evening. Leading mu-
scians OF this city, who have heard him in
his palmiest days, both in opera and concert,
and frequently since, said they never heard
him sing better than on this occasion.
Mrs. Edwin Forrest, widow of the noted
tragedian. died on Tuesday of last week at
her home in New York. So quietly have her
later years been passed that not until We'd
nesday did the news of her death become
public. She preferred to be known as Mrs.
Catherine Norton Sinclair. The daughter of
John Sinclair, an English tenor, who subse-
quently appeared in America. Catherine Sin
clair married Mr.. Forrest In England in 1887
and returned with him to America. She af-
forwards appeared on the stage and made a
great success as Lady Teazle.
Mr. Richard I'll. Andrews, probably the
oldest musician and ex-actor In England, re-
Gently died, aged SS. His debut was made
as boy SO years ago at the Theatre Royal,
Birmingham, in 1.-THE Bliud Boy" and In
1893 he was playing at Liverpool the small
part OF Pistols Boy to the Henry V. of John
Philip Kemble. In 1912 he. however, quilted
the theatre for music.

SONS OF B0WD0IN.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST pAGE.l

through ten different states, but wherever
they were they were shouting for Bowdoin.
There were two other B0wdoin men besides
himself in the Massachusetts, senate.
The youngest man to be called on was Levi
Turner, Jr., Esq, of the class of 'S6, who In
the short time he has been out of college has
been member of the legislature, and Is now
superintendent Of schools in Rockland.
President Hyde said it was unusual to call
upon member of a class so recently gIadu-
ated, but Mr. Turner showed that the young
alumni are of as good stuff as the old ones,
and made an excellent speech. He thought
young men in Bowdoin received an admira-
BILE education. The only Improvement in the
course he thought of would be more attention
to preparing students to be able to speak
we'll in public.
Here ended the exercises, with which every
one seemed pleased.
