The '.Picayune" and Its Uses as Fishing
Boat.

o.
Yesterday afternoon, when the snow
storm was at its height and the harbor
was stormy and angry looking place, a
solitary canoeman was seen sailing up,
his sail filed with a strong breeze, and
his frail little craft moving swiftly and
lightly as dream. AS the canoe came
into the dock by Portland Pier, the
PRESS hailed the smart young fisherman
who manned her. He had just come
for Mackey's Island, where he had been
after CLAIMS. He said that there are not
many of the Portland fishermen who use
these little canoes, which are called
"Picayunes," but they are in great favor
with the Chebeague Islanders, who are
discarding their dories in favor of them.
Eben Bates of Great Chebeague, is the
designer and builder of the s'Picayunes."
The great advantage of them is that one
man can handle one of them as easily as
two men can handle dory. They are
about IA feet long, sharp forward and
aft, and look as if an injudicious wink
would capsize one. But when wisely
handled they appear quite safe, and are
undeniably swift and handy, under both
sail and oars.

The Raising of the Church Debt Pleas
antIy Celebrated.

The Methodist society of Westbrook,
celebrated the removal of their church
Indebtedness last evening by supper
and entertainment in the new vestry of
the church. The Portland Social Union,
including a number of the Methodist
partors, had been invited, but owing to
the storm but few were able to attend
from the city. Supper was served at
$50, which was greatly Erelished by all,
after which there were remarks by the
pastor, Rev. A. NJ. Pottle and others, fol-
lowed by vocal and instrumental music
by members of the parish. The occasion
was ONE of rejoicing at seeing the church
once more clear of debt, and the ladies
of the parish who labored so hard for
that end were congratulated on all
hands. Mrs. G. B. Woodman, chairman
of the supper committee, also came in
for share of the praise for her SER
vices.
The first Methodist church in West
brook was built in 1910, during the pas
torate of the Rev. Mark Tfafton. This
church was burned in March, 1855. The
present church edifice was erected the
following year, during the passionate of
Rev. A. M. Pottle, at a cost of about
$4,000. Its congregation was rapidly
growing, the want of more room was
sadly felt, and at a meeting of the trus-
tees in 1889, they decided to make re-
pairs and improvements SO as
to furnish suitable yestries,
class rooms, ETC. As the trustees did
not care to assume the raising of the
whole sum necessary for the improve
ments, the ladies of the Methodist Epis-
copal Circle of the church gracefully
came forward and assumed one-half of
the obligation, or about $4,000.
During the past two years, by means
of fairs and entertainments, the ladies
have raised the requisite sum, and last
night the church was declared free from
Indebtedness.
The church is now one of the hand
soonest and most commodious in the
city, and the ladies feel justly proud of
their part in the work. The audience
room has been newly carpeted and fres-
coed, the pews newly cushioned and the
entire edifce has. been painted through
out and is lighted by electricity. There
are now commodious vestries, class
rooms, ladies' parlor and kitchen in the
basement, which are thoroughly appre-
ciated by the parishioners.
The officers of the Methodist Episco-
pal Circle are as follows: $3.50
President--Mrs. Dudley Blatchford
Vice President-Mrs II. s. Mcclellan.
Secretary-Mrs Albion P. Stiles
