OBITUARY..

supper.

George F. Holmes, Esq, for many
years one of the most prominent mem
bers of Cumberland Bar, died Sunday
evening, March 6. He was born at
Oxford, Maine, Nov. 5, 1914, and was,
therefore, in his forty-eighth year. His
early life was passed at the family home
stead at Oxford. He was graduated
from Bowdoin College in the class of
1866. Soon after graduating he came to
Portland, and entered the office of Shep-
ley & Strout as a law student. He was
admitted to the Bar in 1869, and entered
at once into practice. He was for many
years in partnership with A. A. Strout,
Esq, and later with F. c. Payson, Esq.
He was married in 1875, and his widow
and one child, daughter, survive him.
Services will be held Wednesday after
noon at two o'clock at the First Parish
church. "

How to Manage the Indian.

The Indian is a naturally secretlve be-
ing. hiding his inner character jealousy
from the eye of any alien race. He is
called cunning, crafty, morose, revenge
full and cruel. So he has been-toward
those who have made no bids for his
confidence and friendship other than
those offered by constant efforts to crowd
him from his country, despoil and even
exterminate him. He is really by ma
ture-not always, but often-the very
reverse of these things.
Place him now under other conditions.
Put him in one of the new troops; teach
him pride In being soldier of the gov
eminent, and that the government re-
lies on him for its safety and protection;
make him feel that the white soldiers
around him are. his comrades, and he as
good as they; explain to him the reason
of things; give him healthy and con-
genial employment; treat him as an in
dependent rational being and man;
cease trying to promote his confidence
in you and his progress by talking to
him about his soul-and you will soon
have result astonishingly different to
the accepted idea of his race.
He who commands these people best
must be sorupulously just, and keep ev-
cry promise as far as he can. He must
feel q genuine interest and friendship
for them, for they are quick to detect
sha1ns. He must at first be patient and
lenient, Furnishing usually only after re-
peated cautions and explanations, and
after he is sure the nature of the offense
is understood. He must have tact and
perception of character, for Indian char
acter is just as varied as the white, and
treatment that would do for one man
would break up the troop if applied to
others.-Lieutenan S. G. Robertson in
Harper's Weekly.

Last Night,

ONE FULL YEAR.

Things Considerations Republican
Alderman Will Hold the Fort.
Yesterday was one of the finest days of
the season, day admirably calculated to
call out the voters at the municipal cleo
tions, and they came out, especially in
Portland in goodly numbers, but when the
vote was counted, were not on the side the
Republicans could have wished for. For
the first time in about 80 years the con-
troll of city affairs will go into the hands
of the Democrats. They have elected
all the aldermen except Mr.. Josselyn in
Ward 7, and nine of the common coun-
cilmen, which gives them a majority in
Joint convention. There are three coun-
cilmen veto be elected-one in Ward l,
and two in Ward 8.
There was any quantity of split tick
cts. In Ward 6 a perfect fac-simile OF
the Republican ticket was circulated
with Mr.. Rogers, the Democratic candi-
dates name substituted for Mr.. Stephen
sons for alderman. In Ward there
were some Ward tickets got into the
ward by mistake and were distributed
and voted there. Wards 2 and rolled
up big Democratic majorities. In Ward
3 at the outset, the Republican warden
being absent, Mr.. Calvin D. Chase, the
Democratic candidate was elected by
vote of 81 to SO for Mr.. Carney, the Re-
publican candidate. In this ward Mr..
Verrill was the only councilman elected,
and Mr.. Brownson, the candidate for
school committee, was the only Republi-
can elected in the ward. In Ward 1 the
Democratic councilmen, Messrs. Dunn
and Simpson were elected.
There were 904 registered voters who
failed to vote yesterday.
Today the polls will open at 10 a. m.
and close at p. M, for the purpose of
electing two councilmen in Ward 3.
Tomorrow at 10 a. m. the polls will

location, at point 2S7.5 feet distant from
Congress street; thence up Valley street
12S feet of 10x10 inch plank, to point
nine feet below the grade of the street
when completed; thence continuing up
Valley street, with Y feet of 10 inch pipe,

which, from to u feet, is just begun.
The whole length of the drain is 6S3 feet

the outfall carried back to the connection
OF the new conduit with the mill pond
sewer, particularly as a recent purchase
OF flats in the cove will probably demand
the extension of the outta1l loo feet Or
more beyond Green street. No one would
propose tidal sewer willingly, but when
the alternative is no sewer it has to be
accepted.
A considerable amount OF space is CIV
en- to the Marginal Way.
The engineer thinks the extension OF
Commercial street sewer to Maple street
should be kept in mind as of great import
ance. If the proposed filling in OF the
cove adjoining Green street is carried out
this season the work at behring's bridge
would become imperative. The sewer at
Wilmot street should be diverted to the
Pearl street outfall, and the plank outfall
section of Mayo street below Oxford
should be renewed with pipe.
