Mrs. Sarah McBrine, who lives on Union
street was not feeling well last night and she
went to bed early, having invited Miss
Bridget Lally in to sit with her. Bridget in
turn invited in her friend Ellen Greeley, and
she passed the invitation to two gentlemen
friends, who are fishermen. These four with
shocking disregard for the sick woman held
ghost dance. making so much noise that
Officers Sylvester and Flynn were attracted
to the scene and they made a raid on the es-
adjustment taking the entire party to the
station in the patrol wagon. The shouts and
music made by the party attracted nearly all
of the 11.30 class of policemen to the scene
and for few moments the street was blue
with them.
On arriving at the station the first four
were charged with being drunk and disor-
derby, and Mrs. McBrine was held for keep
ing disorderly house. He little girl was
also held in the lodging room as there was no
one left at the house to take care of her.

Professor churcnIII's Reading.

Last evening, Professor Churchill of An.
dober gayea reading at the Second Parish
church. aud the auditorium was three-quar-
tiers filled By a greatly interested audience.
1t Is always matter of enjoyment to listen
to Professor Churchilps reading. He has a
rich. full voice, admirably trained, and what
ever subject he treats he does so with per-
feet conception of the authors meaning.
Last evening 1t was especially noteworthy
how he handled the story of the treatment
of Smike by Squeers, of the infamous Doth
eboys Hall, and the consequent beating of
Squeers by Nickleby. The description was
most realistic picture. The story by Mrs.
Stowe. Of how the parson stopped racing on
Sunday, as told by Sam Lawson, convulsed
the audience with laughter. and the scene
from Victor Hugo's romance of '93 was very
effective. These are but few of the selec-
lions. There was no printed programme.
During and prior to the reading, Mr..
Kotzschmar gave several selections on the
organ in his inimitable manner.

To the Republican Voters of Portland:
The Republican city committee respectful
ly present to you for information the follow
ing method for conducting the caucuses for
the nomination Of municipal and ward off,
GERS for the ensuing year which has been de-
cided upon by the committee.
The changes that have been made are with
view to obtain fuller, freer and fairer ex.
preston Of the sentiment OF the Republican
voters Of the various wards Ito guard against
disorderly invasion of their rights and to
raise the caucus to position Of first impor.
lance in recording the will of the people in
the selection of their officers. For the &C
complishment Of these purposes the Repub-
lican city committee have voted:
1st.--. To extend the time during which the
caucuses shall be held.
2nd. To make use of the check list In all
the wards compulsory.
3rd. To vote for all the municipal and

ExceIIentIy Equipped.

As many are aware, the vestry of the Free
Baptist church, formerly Plymouth. was put
In first class repair last season, so that it is
by far more pleasant, CHEEKY and attractive
now than ever before There have recently
been placed therein two beautiful instru-
ments Of music, that the praise services may
be more advantageously developed and
maintained. The large increasing Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor feel
ing the need Of a musical Instrument adapt
ed to their services, purchased on extremely
favorably terms for cash beautiful upright
plano, and they are happy. There has
furthermore been feeling for some time
that the 'old Seraphim" that has served val
iantly in leading the vestry praise services
for long term of years, should be replaced
with new instrument. And by way Of
bringing about this desirable arrangement,
Mr.. c. F. Jones. OF the firm of Cressey &
Jones. made an advantageous offer, which
was promptly accepted with the result that a
fine toned chapel organ, the best manufac-
tured by Messrs. Wilcox and White of
Meridian. Conn.,, will do efficient service dur
ing the coming years. Thus doubly and ex-
cellently equipped, the vestry praise services
are developing increasing interest, and no
one doubts that these instruments will prove
to be profitable investments. .r.o,tr.
