MAINE AT CHICAGO.
What Was Urged by Some of our
Citizens.

Among the members of the executive
committee of the worlds fair managers at
tending Inc session at Poland Springs, Tues
oay' were uen. Y. L. Mattocks, VIM. G. DAY.
Is ana MIS- l.. M. N. Stevens of Portland.
r. y. JORDAN, president of the state board
VI heaith, urged upon the commission the
IMPORTANCE Of emphasizing the healthfulness
VI 'he state and of advertising the work that
10 peing done by its state and local boards
VI health. This work would tend to materi-
ally increase the number of those who
sought our state to build up health by rest
and recreation. 1t had been urged against
Maine in the past that she was entirely
without health regulation and that her peo-
pie were peculiarly prey to epidemic dis
eases. This objection can no longer be
urged. Today no state In the Union is I'M
der better health laws than our own or has
Its sanitary affairs more closely looked af-
ter. Again there are some erroneous ideas
existing In the public mind regarding our
state. which 1t Is of the utmost Importance
should be ratified. For instance, 1t is quite
generally believed that Maine is a state par
ticularly liable to pulmonary diseases, and
that its death rate from this source is very
great. Such, however, is not the fact. Salts
tics carefully compiled by our state board of
health, show that the death rate in Maine
from pulmonary diseases is rather below the
average. This is but one of the things that
should be made known to the world at Chi
cago. He cited the fact that as a result of
health regulations and the dissemination of
Information by the board of health the death
rate In Portland had dropped from 81 to 16
per cent.
Hon. K. Il. Mallet of Freeport, said he
was ready to join with the other granite men
OF the state to furnish as much granite as
might be required for state of Maine build
ing at the exposition, and to furnish 1t in any
form-polished or unpublished that the COM
mission might desire.
Among the letters in the possession of the
commission, Is one from the Monson Slate
Company. Offering to furnish free on board
cars. all the slate that might be required for
the roof of state building at Chicago, also
whatever flashed slate might be wanted for
interior finish. They should be pleased to
furnish this slate in any design that the ar
chitect might require.
Another letter was from K. Il. BurrOwes &
Co., OF Portland. expressing willingness to
equip the Maine building throughout with
their window screens free from expense to
the commission. Some beautiful samples of
finished wood accompanied this offer, afford
ing wide scope for choice
Mr.. Bixby read a letter from E. f. Getch
ell. president of the Chicago Sons of Maine
saying that he had seen Director Davis and
received his assurance that the splendid site
selected for Maine should be reserved for

GUS fire occurred at Lyman, Son & Co.'S,
ship-chandlers, at the corner of Commercial
and Moulton streets, yesterday afternoon
The cellar In their three-story brick store is
filled with turpentine. tar, patent drying
varnish, and lumber. About 315 o'clock a
young clerk who has been in the firms en-
plOy about three weeks was sent to the cellar
odraw can of quick drying varnish. He
could not see very well, and lighted match
to see what he was about immediately
there was an explosion, and clouds of dense
black smoke rolled up the elevator, and
through every crack in the building. Mr..
Guptill, one Of the partners, was in the count
ing room, and he sent the clerk across the
street to pull in the alarm. The glass front
alarm boxes came we'll in play, for in
twinkliDg the alarm was struck and the de-
partment was promptly on hand. AS result
the flames were checked in very short order.
A good deal of water had to be put in the
cellar, while considerable damage was done
by smoke.
The building is owned by s. r. Lyman.
Mr.. Guptill said he could not estimate the
damage until a thorough examination had
been made of the beams Of the cellar, and

building, $1,000 each In the Hartford and the

A Much Nee d ed Improvement

The work of enlarging the basement OF
Manson G. Larrabee's store on Middle street
is completed and the result is about as neat
a salesroom as one would wish to see. The
increased space was greatly needed. as the
basement was often uncomtortably crowded
with customers. Perhaps the greatest i'm
provement is the admittance of daylight by
means of two windows on the Cross street
side. The basement contains linen depart
ment. cotton department. blanket depart
ment and cotton dress goods department
The stock is large and we'll selected, and we
predict that this store, which has always
been favorite resort of the ladies, will be
more popular than ever.

Boston d Maine Cars.

The Boston & Maine railroad has put q
train of five cars on its line to run between
Biddeford and Saco and Old Orchard. The
cars, which are new ones, are Of novel con
struction in this part Of the country. Each
seats 48 people and is much lighter than the
ordinary car. They have the seats running
parallel with the sides of the car at each
end, while in the middle are four seats built
across the car. They are furnished In hard
wood, upholstered in red plush. Instead Of
the regulation. hard working blinds. they
have curtains which work with ease. They
are heated by steam and also have a steam
brake. The gates at the ends Of the car are
a little different from the ordinary gate in
closing at the end of the platform instead of
down on the steps. thus guarding against
anybody slipping from the steps.
