CITY GOVERNMENT.
The Adjourned Meeting of the Old Board
of Aldermen.

The meeting of the Board of Aldermen,
adjourned from Saturday afternoon last,
was held yesterday morning at o'clock,
Alderman Rogers in the chair.
Warrants were signed for new cleo
ton for Mayor to be held April 18th.
The following communication was then
read:
PORTLAND, March IS.
| ToJof, S. Russell, city Clerk:
We, the undersigned, members Of the city
government from Ward 1, chosen at the cleo
ton held on the 9Th inst, having sent in our
declinationf to serve during the coming muni-
cipal year, most respectfully withdraw the
| same. We have not doubted our election nor
do we understand that our political opponents
have, but rather than to continue any misunder-
standing that has arisen we refused to receive
orr certificates. While it is our personal wish
that the declination be accepted we defer to
the very earnest solicitation of our friends and
supporters and the unanimous demands OF the
Democratic party. Very respectfully,
CHARLES T. GUPTILL,
FRANK j. SIMPSON,
L. w. TIBBETTS
During lull in the business, Alder
man Josselyn said that inasmuch as the
members of the city government from
the first ward, had seen fit to withdraw
their designations because Of ''the unan-
imous demand of the Democratic party"
the query had arisen in his mind why
the warden of Ward / had not yet re-
signed? Was this also on account of
party pressure? Alderman Guptill re-
piled that that officials resignation
would soon be handed in. Mr.. Josselyn
thought it was about time that it should
| occur.
Mr.. Rogers said that he considered
that all the wardens of the city might
do good thing by resigning, and Alder
man Gallagher said that he would like
to see Warden Timer of Ward do that.
Mr.. Josselyn was willing to accede if
all the other wardens were the same as
the one in Ward /.
Alderman Guptill moved that vote of
thanks be rendered to Alderman Stevens
for the able manner in which he has filed
the position of chairman Of the board.
Alderman Josselyn seconded the motion
and Alderman Stevens thanked his
brother aldermen for their well wis hes
and spoke feelingly of the pleasant rela-
lions that have invariably been main
tanned.

Funeral of Patrick Carroll.

The funeral of Patrick Carroll, MEM
Der of Thatcher Post, took place Sunday
afternoon at Thatcher Post hall. The
regular services were conducted by the
Rev. S. F. Pearson, after which the Post
performed the burial service of the
q. A. r.
Comrade Carroll served with credit
during the late war. He has record
of II years service in the regular army.
He has been member of Thatcher
Post several years, and during that time
made friends with all whom he came in
contact with.
Think the following lines Of the poet
express in few words the feelings of
every member of the Post better than
anything could write:
'sNone knew thee but to love thee,
None named thee but to praise"

nent president and Elliott G. Mitchell
In Joint Convention.

g. eft
The two bodies went into joint con-
vention, the Mayor in the chair. Prayer
was offered by Rev. Matt S. Hughes and
the city clerk administered the usual
oath to both aldermen land councilmen.
Mayor Ingraham then announced that
the city government was duly organized.
Alderman Strout announced that ac-
cording to the charter it was necessary
to elect an assessor today. Alderman
MCGOWAN favored postponing the cleo
ton until the city solicitor should be
consulted, and also made the point that
the convention was called merely for or
ganization and not for the election of
subordinate officers. The Mayor sus-
tanned the point. Mr.. Strout quoted the
ordinance to the effect that it was neces-
sary to elect an assessor at this meeting.
Alderman Guptill suggested adjourning
until Thursday evening as the meeting
then would be a part of this regular meet
ing and the vote for an' assessor would
then be legal, as it'would be simply car
rying forward the present meeting. (I'
will be seen. in the aldermanic proceed
ings, afterwards, the request for a joint
convention was choked off, no attention
being paid toit, and Alderman Guptill
turned around and moved to adjourn to
no fixed date.>
The convention then dissolved.

To the Editor of the Press:
Will you allow me space to call the at
tention of our citizens to the fact that
one of the most responsible positions
that the city fathers have to deal with
is the selection of the best man attain
able for the office of Chief Engineer of
the Fire Department. What the city
needs is man of ability and experience.
one who realizes at all times and in all
places the great trust and responsibility
reposed in him, and one who would ever
and always be on the alert for all the
minor details, so that when a call is
made on the Fire Department everything
and everyone will work in unison. The
men who have the power in their hands
to select the Chief should give this mat
ter their careful consideration, as no
doubt they will.
First, let us consider what are the re-
sponsibilities of the Office? The man
that takes it takes his oath to protect
the lives and property Of every citizen to.
the best of his ability; he should not
only see that all his fire apparatus is in
T6H0lueSS, Dut Dc COubuudAy Ou tuo
lookout that each man is at his post and
ready to attend to his duty when called
upon, that the best and safest roads
should be selected to reach points: "a
man that would be sure to see that the
engines, horses, hydrants, and fire alarm
are in perfect condition at all times.
The make up of the man should be fully
considered in all its bearings, He should
possess those fine sensibilites that would
bring continually before him the great
responsibility that he has assumed. He
should realize that neglect of the
smallest affair on his part might
result in disaster to the city. 1t
must be admitted by every sensible
man that we have many nights in year
when, if a fire should occur in certain
localities our little fire department.
could not cope with it should it get well
underway, that our only salvation would
be in the vigilance and good condition
of the department to be on the spot at
the earliest possible moment. A chief
engineer should realize this. The man
for chief should be one who can take
as we have before called attention to, and
such man will call for and win the re-
spect of the men under him, and they
will not hesitate to 60 where he orders,
will work with an energy for him.
To get the best results, we must have
man for Chief who will demand and
command respect, In the department and
out. Saturday evenings paper gave us
long list of names as candidates for this
office. Are they all capable men? Go
slow, gentlemen and see that you make
no mistake in this very serious matter
and select the best man for the Office, no
matter whether he halls from Ward l, 2,
8, 4, s, 6, or 7. Each man that has a
vote to select the chief, has an equal re-
sponsibility with him, and the citizens
at large expect that this matter will meet
with the serious consideration that it de-
serves. BUSINESS MEN.

verse Of savory. The man was arrested
and put before the court yesterday and

in the affair and so the officer said and
his statement was published in the Press,

spoke to him, and then saw him pass
along and speak to Burke. Myers, how
ever, who had been notified to appear at
court, admitted he spoke to usher and
then passed along and spoke to Burke,
but that Burke ordered him to go away
from him. He Immediately passed along
and had nothing whatsoever to do with
the affair.

Because they never spoil nice

Because the cakes, buildings,

Because they are extracted by

acter. That is why DIR.

Gently wrote: "There is peculiar re-
finement and distinction about Marie

richly sympathetic temperament. The
moods she gives her characters are
various and have a womanly delight

feet. In all the feminine attributes
that to men are indescribable and
charming and refreshing she is su-

she lapse into monotony; every gest-

which pervades her acting" Bartin

All Dav at the desk.

Even in the strongest constitutions

All day at the desk, without due

calculated to pump the inherent vigor
out of healthy man or woman with
as much certainty as water is pumped

gine. Application to business is
praiseworthy of course, but this may
be overdone. Expand your lungs,
stretch your limbs with vigorous ex-

you find that overwork has made in
roads upon your health, try course

stimulates digestion and regulates the
