How Grave and Reverend seIgnoirs Do
 Pass Their Lighter Hours.
 The Council after covering itself with glory in feminine minds by passing the woman's rights bill, was recreant in the end and reversed its action in somewhat precipitate haste. And this in spite of the fact that the body had been feelingly thanked by telegram from Mrs. l.. c. Hughes, president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Arizona.
 Considering the circums tances, it is not wonderful that a somewhat dazed appearance stole over the Council yes terday afternoon when the clerk read the following telegram:

progress, Toheng- -Kt-rong was suddenly re-

Concerning sparrows.

To the Editor of the Press:
1 saw In a late number Of your paper an
article from an exchange upon the sparrow
question. 1t ended as a clincher, with a
quotation from the New Testament to tha
effect that five sparrows were sold for two
farthings; and so proof was had that even
in those remote times they were considered
worthless nulsances. Other commentators
have considered that text rather as proof Of
the worth OF the bird. The whole trend OF
lhe passage Is to show the care with which
thelr creator watches them, and their value,
though so much less than that OF man.
,Wnen the Good Samaritan left the wound
eu man 10 the care OF the Inn keeper he paid
TWO pence Tor expenses to date; but this has
not yet been quoted to show how worthless
ne considered the invalid to be.

they see In print and dare say thas some
have concluded that the war ON sparrows 10

THE TOWN SEEMED DOOMED.
Fire Sweeps Away a Considerable
Portion of Lisbon, N. n.

LISBON, N. H., June Fire broke out in
the Parker g. Young Manufacturing Compa-
ny's saw mill, about o'clock this afternoon,
and in thirty minutes the whole establish
ment, machinery and box shops, piano
sounding board and chair stock mills, and
the immense lumber yard with millions of
feet of manufactured lumber, north of the
mills. the company's Office, blacksmith shop,
barns and outbuildings were in flames. The
dwelling houses adjacent followed. and the
whole village seemed doomed. Assistance
came by special trains from Woodsville and
Litteton, and reached the scene about 8 o
minutes after the first alarm. To their
prompt response to the summons, the clti-
zens are indebted for the salvation of the
greater part of the village. The fire was un-
der control about o'clock. A conservative
estimate places the loss at 100000, Uf which
the Parker & Young Manufacturing Compa-
ny lose S65,000, insured for $4,000; +. e.
Thorpe, double tenement house, $500, in
sured for $21O0; III. r. and Mary Dunning,
dwelling and barn, $500. no insurance. The
fire destroyed the leading industries of the
town, giving employment to 100 men. The
loss is severe blow to the town.

9 O'Clock this morning and drove to the Grand
Central depot, where they took train for

BosToN. June 1.-Secretary and Mrs.
Blaine arrived in this city late this afternoon
from New York. Mr.. Blalne's appearance
as he alighted from the train showed the re-
ports concerning his physical condition were
not exaggerated. As he was escorted to
the carriage in waiting his feeble steps
were in marked contrast to the buoyant
manner which usually characterizes him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine were at once driven to
oung's hotel where they remain until to-
morrow afternoon when the journey to Bar
Harbor will be resumed Mr. Blaine did
not register at the hotel. No newspaper
men were able to reach him.

the TEMPORARY HOME.
Adjourned Annual Meeting and
Reports.

The adjourned meeting Of the trustees of
the Temporary Home for Women took place
yesterday afternoon at the Home In Deering.
There was a large attendance and much In
terest was shown In this most necessary
charity. The secretary, Miss Cornelia NJ.
Dow, made this report:
On this ninth annual meeting of the Tenn
porary Home for Women an Children. we,
the board Of managers welcome the friends
and patrons Of the Institution TO an enlarged
and greatly improved house. During the
year Just closed, steam heating apparatus
has been put In at cost OF 5000, aud here
we wish to publicly acknowledge the gift Of
SlOO from Mrs. G. 5. Q. Dow, Of Bangor,
generously and promptly sent In response to
the appeal In our last report, In which this
new need was presented.
Six new rooms have just been finished of
in the third story. and the outside of the
house has received much needed coat Of
paint. A piazza now runs the entire length
Of the house on the south side, where the
children can enjoy the fresh air and an Op-
p0rtuntty to run, and the babies can be easi-
ly kept out OF doors during some part of each
suitable day. All these additions have be-
come necessity with the growth of the
work, and 1t Is an inevitable and increasing
growth, as the home and its aims become
more widely and better known throughout
the state and the various sections recognize
The problem that constantly confronts us
Is, how can we meet the demands that are
daily made upon us To provide q temporary
home for any needy woman or child to whom
no other door Is opened Is the very cause
OF our being, aud mole permanent retreat
for those who need the constant care, watch
fulness and gentle restraint that can nowhere
else lie secured, to lead and hold them in
paths OF soberness and rectitude Is grow
ing demand.
During the last year the family has been
larger than ever before, and at the same
time more variable. At the last annual
meeting there were ten girls In the family
of this number but one remains, and only
three children out of the twelve reported
then. The family now numbers seven wom-
en- and seventeen children. During the last
session Of the legislature an effort was m ade
to secure a larger appropriation from the
state, and we gratefully acknowledge the
recognition of the need Of the work we are
doing, as shown by the increased amount
appropriated. This sum has enabled us to
make the repairs. and enlargement already
mentioned, but leaves small margin for the
increased work. To the many people
throughout our state who strive to love their
neighbOr as themselves, we must continue TO
appeal for our support, and our faith Is
strong that our demands will be cheerfully
and generously met.
Encouraging reports come to us from time
to time Of the girls who have gone out and
| them, and in some Instances In homes oi
| their own. The history of the Home is sc
| full OF encouragement as to sink out of sight
| the temporary and petty ann0yances that al
ways attend the details Of such work.
