ternity continued receiving this money,
1t might likewise be tied up, and We
would have no chance OF meeting our
maturing obligations.
A meeting Of thesupreme officers was
called and held, and they Immediately
put themselves in communication with
the officers OF tine Star Tontine Associa-
ton with the hope OF making some ar
rangemeAt whereby the remaining
members might be transferred to the
Star Tontine Association, II they so de-
sired. The following arrangement has
been consummated, and the members
Of the Fraternity are at liberty to avail
themselves OF it. The agreement Is as
follows: The Star Tontine Association
will accept all members Of the Frater-
nifty, providing said members win pay
to the Star Tontine Association the as.
sessment Of So 90 due June 10Th, and
one weeks dues for said date; also the
assessment OF So 90 called for July 9th,
and dues Of 81 90. II said amounts are
RENTED to the Star Tontine Associa-
ton together with the certificates
Of membership and receipt books OF
members, they will be transferred; and
all certificates expiring on June 20 will
be entitled to six months credit Of
time in the Star and four months credit
OF dues. This is is not to be construed
to mean that ten months credit will
be allowed so far as time is concerned;
the only time that will be allowed will
be six months, and four months
credit OF dues. Those whose certiti-
Gates expire on July II will be allowed
five months credit Of time and three
months for dues. Those whose certii-
Gates expire on July 20 will be allowed
four months credit of time and two
months credit OF dues, and all others
will be allowed two month"; credit OF
time and one months dues.
We exceedingly regret that such pro-
ceedings should have occurred, as 1t was
the intention of tho fraternity to 90
along and pay its last certificate. We
believe, and are so informed by our
our counsel, that we could successfully
defend the proceeding just instituted
were it possible TO have a hearing ut
this time; but inasmuch as the. said
cause'could not be tried until fall, there
is no hope OF pulling through to- d fin
ish. Therefore it was thought best and
advisable to return to each member the
amount contributed for the Goth Of
June, in place Of tying up said funds
and causing greater loss to those who
do not care to be transferred.
We feel that We have done everything
in our power, aided by the best legal
talent that could be obtained, TO protect
in common all members of the fratern.
we desire the members to understand
that we intend to contest the legal pro-
ceedings just instituted, and feel that
we will be successful in saving this
money to the members, who can rest
assured that the same will be distrib-
uted among the members in the pro-
portion paid
Yours fraternally,

TAKE NOTICE.

That owing to foreign attachment
having been obtained against the Fra
ternity Of Financial Cooperation, under
the laws Of West Virginia, the funds arc
so tied up that 1t will be impossible for
the Fraternity to meet its maturing GER
tificates for June Goth and later; and we
feel that to collect and deposit any
more money in the name OF said Frater-
nifty would be an injustice to the MEM
beers, as said funds so deposited may be
tied up as well as present funds. We
take this opportunity to return to you
the amount contributed and paid by
your members for June Goth, 1891, with
the understanding that the said funds
so returned will be distributed among
the members in the proportion in
which they have been paid on the said
Goth OF June.
We have heretofore been successful
in ayerting all legal difficulty such as
this, and 1t is unfortunate that these
proceedings should have occurred at
this time, as it leaves the officers no OPP
portunity TO defend themselves against
what they believe in this particular
case to be an imposition, as the courts
have adjourned and the case could rot
be iudicially decided until late in the
fall and, as before stated, II the fra

MORE SHORT LoRsTERs.
Wardens Bailey and Barbour Find a
Few on Schooner Planter,

State Constables Barbour and Bailey are
actively on their campaign against Holsters
that appear to be too young to vote, as
evidenced by their size. Yesterday the
schooner Planter came in at Portland Pier
with several hundred live Holsters which
were discharged under the eyes of the OF
GERS, first being ladled out of the hold to
the Geek and pushed and pulled around by
the crew Of the vessel who seemed to be as
anxious to pick out the short ones as the
constables themselves were. The appara-
tus used to get the size of suspected
crustaceans is simple, being a piece of wood
as long as the shortest legal lobster, d.
vided into two parts by an upright for the
body and the claws.
The men pick the Holsters out of the
struggling mass on deck one by one and If
there is no doubt as to their ability to pass
muster they are dropped into the car. II
they are small and seem to be within the
prescribed limit, they are placed on the
board. Should they fall short. overheard
they go. II they come up to the standard,
they are in the car with the big ones.
Out of the cargo of the Planter, Messrs.
Barbour and Bailey found about dozen
that were undoubtedly 10 their infancy.
They were dropped into the water to seek
their native wilds on the rocky shores OF
the coast and islands.
Messrs. Bailey and Barbour have not
found any more short Holsters that have
been taken wilfully and with intent to
eyade theofficers' vigilence.

a Rat Batting ExhIbitIon.

There was an exhibition of rat killing on

reverse for others. An able bodied, gray
whiskered rat was taken out on the side.
walk in trap and turned loose. At the
same time the terrier dog belonging at the
Falmouth market was turned loose In pur-
suit OF the rat. The rat started for the
other side of the street. then doubled. then
started across again to be jumped on and
slaughtered by the dog while dozen men,
more or less looked on and applauded.
Several ladies however. who happened to
be passing at the time received severe
nervous shocks from the sight, partly of
the rat and partly Of the brief combat. In
view OF the fact that ladies are almost con-
stantly on the streets, and that they are
proverbially timid when rats are abroad 1t
is the opinion of many people that these
rat batting contests should take place only
In secluded back yards.

MRS. ARMSTRONG.
The Eccentric Californian Not
Identified as a PortIander.

A reporter of the PRESS called on Mrs.
Eben Armstrong on Spruce street, who
had read the despatch in yesterdays paper
concerning the eccentricities of Mrs.
Nellie" Armstrong. At first it was
thought that the woman in question was
the wife or widow of Mrs. Armstrong;
brother-in-law Mr.. Arthur Armstrong who
has lived in California for some time. Mrs.
Armstrong said however that on reading
the despatch carefully several things APP
peared that led her to think it must be
some one else. Mr.. Arthur Armstrong is
alive and well, as his wife is, neither of
them are old. nor are they possessed of
any such sum as that named, 100000.
They have three children and all live hap
PLY together and are on good terms with
all the other members of the family.
Mrs. Arthur Armstrong was native Of
Willard, being Miss Simonton. She was
married to Mr.. Arthur Armstrong before
the war. and has lived in California for
nearly 20 years.

THE MINERS CONGRESS.
Hon. Charles r. Libby Makes q
Speech to the silver Kings.

copy of the Colorado Sun of the date
OF Nov. 10Th. gives an extended account of
the Mining Congress at Denver, at which a
party of Portland men are In attendance.
The descriptive reading matter is abundant
ly illustrated with wood cuts of prominent
men in attendance. Among them is a half
length portrait labelled "Hon. Charles r.
Libby--a silver man from Maine." The
cut bears little resemblance to our dis
tinguished t0wnsman. but is about as
faithful as the description: "a silver
man from Maine."
Mr.. Libby entertained the assembled
miners with the following judicious
speech:
Ladies and Gentlemen II must say
that 1t Is an unexpected pleasure as a re-
preventative of the State of Maine to par
tlcipate with you In this event. Since
coming here and seeing your vast improve
ments can appreciate your interest In the
silver question. l Believe that the senti-
ment OF the East Is changing upon this
matter. believe that the sentiment of
the world is changing en- this question.
Applause. as. rac f-
sit is only recently that 1 read the de-
bates among the bi-metalists of Great
Britain. and find that some of the great
est bankers and fnanciers are favOring the
proposition to put silver upon equal basis
with gold. believe that silver is going to
receive fair treatment at the hands of the
American people.
II want to thank you, gentlemen. for
your courtesy, and to join with you in
tribute to your president, without whose
efforts we would not be here today"
