THE SILVER QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, April Cot appears that
the anti-silver men will make an effort
10 recover the ground which the silver
men assert that they lost yesterday
through the vote IN the senate upon the
Kyle amendment to the Arizona funding
bill. When the bill was laid before the
house today Mr.. Smith moved to non-con-
cur in the senate amendments, the prin-
cipal one being the lawful money amend
ment, and asked a conference. His mo-
tion was carried.

THE NEW FIRE ORDINANCES.
Some Decided Changes Proposed in the
Department.

At the city meeting next Monday eve
ming, some marked changes will be pro-
posed in the revision of the rules of the
fire department. Three in particular
will be noted.
The first proposed change of conse-
quence will be the reduction in the num-
Der of assistant engineers from five to
two. That change, if accepted, will
give this city chief and two assistants.
The committee on fire department, we
understand, think the present system too
top heavy. 1t seems to them ridiculous
that at a fire where only three engines
are called there should be chief and
five engineers to tell the three steamer
captains what to do. They say there is
no other city that possesses this proper
ton of assistant engineers to the num-
Der Of engines, hose carriages and ladder
trucks; that two or three of the assistant
engineers in such case have nothing
really to do but stand and look on.
In the second place it is proposed to
have the enginemen like the drivers, ap-
pointed by the board of engineers, sub
ject to the approval of the committee on
fire department. They claim that this
arrangement will be much more advan-
tageous for the city.
In the third place it is proposed to
take the fire alarm telegraph into the
charge of the committee On fire depart
ment. 1t seems to them absurd that the
fire alarm should be managed by any
other committee than the fire depart
ment committee. 1t is said in no other
city does the same conditions exist in
this matter as does today in Portland.
There may be other changes, but these
are the most important.

THE TRADE OF PORTLAND.
Has the City Made Progress During the
Last Year?

Mr.. M. N. Rich, secretary of the Board
of Trade, asks the question "How
stands Portland in the New Year, and
what progress have we made during the
past year?" He says:
The business of Portland has not
come up to the anticipations of her bust
ness men, but has been disappointing.
Few have made any money, and many
have had hard work to make both ends
meet. This is not because the volume
of business has not been as large or even
larger than any previous year, but a
sharper competition has had to be met
from Boston, New York and other west
ern markets that have taken advantage
of several outside lines of steamers that
have run down along the coast, taking
freight at such ruinous rates as to afford
western statesmen the chance to offer
such prices to secure the business as to
force legitimate trade having to pay fair
rates of freight down to margins too
small to afford paying profits.
Of course the cities and towns of
Maine that have been too ready to en-
bark in such business, will sooner or
later realize the evil and disas-
trous consequences of such disloyalty
to their home markets, for if the "home
markets. the sources of natural supply
for the state, are not to be sustained with
sufficient stocks handy and ready to draw
from at all seasons, what are traders to
do for supplies when one after another of
these temporary lines or tramp steam
ers'' break down and fail, as they all
must, sooner or later? These are posi-
bilities, yea, probabilities, that should be
axy1lx i L
interests of the state at heart. There
seems to be a sad lack of loyalty yet
among the people of Maine we are sorry
to see, nevertheless there is a marked i'm
provement over former years. The state
at large is growing now more rapidly
than ever before, and more industries are
coming into the state every year, and new
houses and factories are going up in all
directions, and more are turning attention
to the farming interest and to stock rails
ing, which is very encouraging.
The Portland daily press., 1892-01-02
She Is Always Ready.

There are, as we all know-and too
often assert-both men and women who
are .'all hands and feet" The man is
simply pitied, but the woman-heaven
help the woman She is scolded, pecked
at, sat down on by everybody to the
fourth cousin and the third generation.
She is next to martyr. The bowels of
our compassion fairly yearn when we
picture the reveries of the tactless wom
an. In sheer eagerness to avoid contem-
plating her we seek her antipodes-the
careful woman or the careful man.
Whethe1vit is merrymaling or the
last sad rites; picnic, a charity, a
birth or wedding, the precision exer-
cised by certain careful men and women
we have met is worthy of monument.
The provision is equal to all occasions,
vanquishes all seasons. from the warm
ing of a bed in the coolest night of the
season to the laying on of a poultice, the
exactness, the precision and provision of
the man or woman who thinks of every
thing is SO marked that it excites the
admiration Of the average, while the
bdCtLcoS O1lo udAGo LC1tlS0 III ollSnCS ctilQ
can only look on dumbly. Should fire
startle the family in the early morning
| hours the caretaker, we are prepared
to maintain, will be found with the
right garments on ready to direct the
hoseman just where to squirt, while the
tactless one is tossing hat box and a
music box out of window or carrying
an armful of shoes down stairs.
Nothing short Of an earthquake or tor
nado could disturb the equipoise of the
caretaker of the family. He or she
knows precisely where to put their
hands on pins and matches in the dark.
The woman never forgets to salt any
thing. The man never was known to
fail to post the letter intrusted to him
promptly. These are the people we de-
fer to. If we had our way we would
erect monuments to them and see to it
| that their virtues were engraved in a fit
ting manner.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

ANOTHER NUT FOR THE sHERlFFs.
A Decoction Sold as Medicine Drunk as
Beverage.

Sheriff Cram is bordering over a
liquid that has come to his attention. He
cannot make UP his mind yet as to
whether it is only medicine or whether
it is liable to seizure as a beverage. The
decoctlon is put up by large wholesale
grocery firm in Portland as preparation
OF beef, iron and wine. There is regu-
lar preparation of that description famil-
lar to the pharmacopeia prepared by
druggists and prescribed by physicians.
Sheriff Cram says this preparation put
up by the Portland firm appears to be
very weak in beef and iron and very
strong in wine. There is no question, he
says, but that the percentage of alcohol
in it is far greater than in strong lager.
This preparation is being extensively
sold over the state, and the sheriff hears,
is largely used as a beverage. What
steps he shall take in the matter he has
not yet decided on.

sEvENTY-NINTH BIRTHDAY.
Enjoyable Gathering in Honor of Mr..
Edward III. Thomas.

The seventy-ninth birthday of our ven
cradle citizen, Mr.. Edward FL. Thomas
was happily observed yesterday at the
hospitable Thomas mansion on Danforth
street During the afternoon many old
time friends called on Mr.. Thomas. and
in the evening there was a general gath
ering of well known musical and literary
people.
A great number of congratulatory let
tiers and kilograms were received from
friends away, among them being letters
from Professor Nichols Crouch, the
composer, Mr.. John Hutchinson, men,
Der of the famous family of singers of
that name, and Mr.. Parker Pillsbury of
Concord, N. III.
Autograph poems by Mrs. Caroline
Dana Howe and Mr.. Robert Rexdale
were also received, and were read at last
evenings concert in the music room.
Mrs. Abby Hutchinson Patton sent a
copy of Tennyson's poem "Ring Out
Wild Bells" set to music of her own
composition
The musical entertainment in the eve
ming consisted of singing by Shaw's Quar-
tette, selections by the Imperial Mandolin
and Guitar Club, songs by Miss Henrietta
Rice, Mrs. 0. II. Fellows, Mr.. w. P. Goss
and Mr.. Geo. A. Thomas; selections on
the cello and violin by the Misses Beebe,
either solo by Madame Zimmerman, cello
solo by Mr.. L. p. Varnum, and other en-
joyable features. Mr.. Edward H. Thomas
also favored the company with selec-
ton on the flute, his favorite instrument
during the evening.
In the music room large crayon por-
trait of Mr.. Thomas was prettily draped
with evergreens, and the dates 1S13-1S92
appeared on either side. Miss Charlotte
Thomas was charming hostess, as is
her wont to be, and loving hearts and
hands We'd with each other in making the
anniversary memorable to him for whose
pleasure it was observed

"Fruit Manners"

"Fruit manners" as girl aptly desig-
mates them, are distinct department of
table etiquette. Strawberries, hulled,
are eaten with spoon or fork; unhulled,
are taken in the fingers separately and
daintily and dipped in sugar before be-
ing conveyed to the mouth. Apples,
pears and peaches should be divided be-
fore being attempted in mouthfuls-
though a ripe pear may be halved and
eaten with spoon. The same utensil
should be employed with melon, though
a fork which has one tine slightly broad
ened is often seen for this fruit. At
English tables spoons are served for
bananas as well, although when these
are served as a single fruit course sherry
or claret is usually sent around with the
whole fruit. A few drops are poured on
the plate, and the banana, stripped of
its skin, is dipped in the wine and thus
eaten.
Oranges seem to offer as many meth
DDS of eating as there are varieties of the
fruit. The Florida fashion of halving it
across the grain and taking out the
juice and fine pulp with a dessert spoon
is neat way and gives one all the de-
sirable part of the fruit; some eat an or
ange quite as daintily by tearing it in
small sections and taking the fruit in
mouthfuls; this method needs a little
practice before being attempted at form
al tables, as the inexperienced, with a
juicy Havana or India river, speedily
gets himself into trouble.-Her Point of
View in New York Times.

Christmas Day in Portlander,s Hotel,

10y ~ ~ Il "a tS11uCI nOUeIs
The Colorado Springs Gazette gives a
long description of Christmas Day at the
Alta Vista, the hotel in that CITY of
which MI. Edward w. Kent, formerly of
Portland, is proprietor. From it we
quote: "The Alta Vista was the scene
of an unusually pleasant time Christ
mas eve and Christmas day for all with
in its hospitable walls. The festivities
began with a thrilling spelling match
Christmas eve, and ended Christmas
night with an impromptu fancy dress
party. Christmas day the guests were
treated to one of the choicest dinners
that ever graced a table at any one of
the Colorado Springs hotels. Every del
icacy of the season found its place upon
the beautiful souvenir menu. But the
pleasure of the guests did not end there.
The genial and much esteemed proprie-
tor, Mr.. Kent, gave the carte blanche of
the house for the day.
