Not in the City Tfsasurer's Office.

A recent despatch to the Lewiston
Journal spoke of a subordinate in a
Portland city office being reproved by
his superior for discourtesy to an aged
man who had come to pay some money
due to the city. 1t has been assumed by
some who saw the despatch that this
must have occurred in the city treasur-
ers office, since that is the most common
place for the paying of money to the
city. We are glad to state that the story
does not apply to the city treasurer
office at all, and that persons having
taxes to pay there are always received
with the greatest courtesy by all those
whose duty it is to receive the money.
No one need hesitate, therefore, to
march up and pay his taxes.

MILLIONS OF THEM.
The Tooth-Pick Factory That Is To Be
Located in PortIand-It VIII Employ
Fifty Sixty Men.

Messrs Benham 6 Barlow, mechanical
engineers of Providence. and Mr.. Chas.
F. Seaman of Strong, Me-, for eight
wears superintendent of the Foster tooth
pick mill at that place, are in the city:
and with Boston parties, have formed a
stock company for the manufacture of
wooden toothpicks, cigar lighters, etc.
They are looking over Portland for a
suitable ocatiJn, and yesterday with
their attorney, MILFORD G. Chapman,
ESQ.,, looked over severa buildings. They
have decided to locate in Portland pro-
yiSed they can find suitable place.
Their factory will give employment to 80
or 80 hands, both men and women, and
will give product of $50 cases day, OF
from 30 to 40 million of the little wood
en- toothpicks now in such common use.
In the United States there are used in
year about 10000 OF $4,000 cases a
year.
Birch wood is used largely, although
poplar is sometimes used. The wood
will be got along the lines of the rail
roads that centre in Portland.
Hitherto picks have almost entirely
been made in small country places near
the timber supply. The largest tooth
pick factory in the world is at Strong.
Me But the members of the new COM
pany believe, however, that the manu-
featuring can be done to better advan-
tage in Portland than in the lumber re-
gion.
Portland people will do well to en-
courage this enterprise.

A meeting of the machinists was held

Lewiston. The meeting was adjourned
to meet this evening at 7.30 at Painters
hall, 1S45 Middle street. All machinists
are invited to attend.

Young Elmer Kennard Discharged.

Young Elmer Kennard of West Fail
mouth, who was arrested on sensational
charge that he assailed the house of Miss
Eunice Lord; at Colley's Corner, with a
revolver in true western style, was
brought up in the Municipal Court yes
terday morning. Hon. M. P. Frank APP
peared as his counsel, and q number Of
the boys relatives accompanied him to
the trial. It will be remembered that
when young Kennard was arrested it
was largely upon the story told by a
Hebrew pedler named Punsky, who was
said to have come along in time to pre-
vent the young man consummating the
capture and sack of the house. Punsky
did not appear in court yesterday, but
Miss Lord did. She is an aged lady;
and seemed to be laboring under some
delusions in regard to what the young
man had tried to do. She thought that
Providence had forewarned her of his
visit, and then when he was assailing
her house she was saved by Providence.
She related these and many other things
to Judge Gould. Two other witnesses.
Neil Hanson and Lemuel S. Houston,
were examined; but their testimony did
not shed much light upon the case. .,
The defense put on no testimony, as it
was evident from Miss Lord testimony
that there was no real case against the
young man.
Judge Gould dismissed the case and
ordered the discharge of the young man.
There is no reason for surprising that
he intended to commit robbery or any
thing of the sort, Some of the mis-
chievous boys of the neighborhood have
probably been taking advantage of Miss
Lords peculiarities to have what they
considered fun by worrying her. She
imagined that they were robbers.

Reached His semi-centennia1.

Mr.. Enoch NJ. Thompson attained his
f1ftieth birthday Thursday and he gave
a delicious supper to forty or fifty friends
at his place of business, corner of Preble
and Cumberland streets, that evening.
There was rich birthday cake, divided
into fifty pieces, one of them containing
gold ring, which Mr.. G. B. Saunders
was so fortunate as to secure. The guests
who were members of the Bluff Cot
tage club-gave Mr.. Thompson a bou-
quet containing fifty pinks, and beau
tlful silver ice pitcher and goblet.

Mariners will be interested to know
that the movement to have the whist

arrangements. The lighthouse board re-

THE COLD WEATHER.
Although We Talk a Great Deal About IT,
1t Seems To Agree With Us Very Wen =
A Much Lower Death Rate Than Last
Year.

Although the intensely cold weather
may not be very agreeable, there is moth
ing in the vital statistics in the City
Clerks Office to indicate that it is having
prejudicial effect upon the city's health.
There seems to be much less sickness
than during the far milder January OF
last year. There was an old saying that
a green Christmas makes q fat church
yard; and this may apply to JanuarieS as
well. In the first twenty days of Janu-
airy last year, there were 70 deaths in
Portland, while for the first twenty days
ending yesterday there have been but II.
The difference in temperature for the
two periods has been quite marked.
The average temperature for the first
week of January of last year was 1898,
and for the second week Pill. For the
first week this year the average has been
1885. and for the second week S.34. This
shows a marked difference between the
two years. Last year in the twenty days
there were 20 deaths from pneumonia,
WllllC III oiiO oetHlO POl ioet oAAio JSeoA oA-S~
have been but 8.
Their was an epidemic of grippe rag
ing last January which accounted in
large measure for the excessive mortali-
ty from pneumonia as most cases OF
grippe that were fatal ended in this
trouble.
Gold DAYS In the Past.
This weather has set people to looking
up their records of cold days in the past.
Mr.. Howard E. Soule tells the PRESS
! that on January 10th, 1887, the thermom-
eter at Libby's Corner denoted $40 below
zero; and that at Pride's Bridge on the
same day it was 1872 below.
Temperature In 1875 in the Kennebec
Valley.
