ton is given to each person who IS

| examine the books for himself.

Golden Cross.

M. G. Palmer, ESQ.,, of this city, is in
correspondence with the Insurance Com
missioner of Maine, Hon. J. O. Smith, in
regard to the senior members of the
above named order. He thinks that a
receiver should be appointed if possible.
Mr.. Palmer says the senior members
who were promised two thousand dol
lars death benefit when they joined the
Order find that the funds available for
this purpose have gradually deprecated
until at the present time scarcely eight
hundred dollars remains to them and it
is only question of few months when
the death benefit will entirely disappear,
but the monthly assessments of eleven
or twelve dollars per menths are still
demanded. Many of the members have
dropped out and unless there is a legal
remedy it is the wisest course for all to
do so.
Mr.. Palmer has endeavored to get
some light on the subject by correspond
ing with the supreme officers but they
decline to answer his letters. What the
outcome may be is uncertain.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
Regular Monthly Meeting Held Yester-
day Afternoon.

The regular monthly meeting of the
school committee was held yesterday
afternoon, Mayor Baxter presiding.
The sum of s25 was appropriated for
procuring speaker for the graduating
exercises of the training school.
Superintendent Lord recommended
that this year all the examinations in the
primary schools be cancelled, and that
promotions to the higher grades be upon
recommendation of the principals. This
does not mean the abolition of the writ
ten tests; but does away with the final
hard examination in the warm season.
The idea is that the teachers know as
we'll before as after the examination
what scholars should be promoted. In
case any parents should be dissatisfied
in case their children were not promot-
ed; there would be an appeal to the SUI
perintendent, who could then order a
special examination for such scholars.
The recommendations of Mr.. Lord in re-
spect to this matter were unanimously
adopted.
The purchase of 20 lumber tables was
authorized.
The subject of the expected increase
of pupils in the Monument and Smaller
schools was discussed informally, and
the need of new building for the
Monument street school was spoken of.
The resignation of Miss Emma c..
Shirley of the Casco street school, was
received. to take effect June 30th.
The committee, to whom the matter
was referred at the last meeting reported
in favor of furnishing sets of weights
and measures to all primary schools of
the city, one set for each floor and two
sets for a floor if there are more than
four rooms on the floor. There is to be
foot rule and yard stick. gill, pint,
quart and gallon measures, quart and
peck measures, and a weighing scale in
each set. The matter was laid on the
table until the next meeting.

The Maine Building at Chicago.

The cool balconies of the Maine build
ing fronting the lake, at Chicago, were
appreciated yesterday, and there were
few of the balcony chairs that did not
have constant occupants. Inside the
Maine building all was hustle and confu-
sion. The last of the invitations to the
State Day exercises were being hurried
off. Four thousand printed ones were
sent, and as the number did not cover
the long list of people whose presence
was desired, 700 mimeograph copies
were added.
The Maine building has just received a
valuable addition to its art collection in
the form of bas relief of Miss Harriet
A. Shaw of Boston, the noted harpist,
executed by her brother, Mr.. Fred A.
Shaw, the sculptor, also of Boston. This
is done in marble and executed in man.
ner to attract the attention of all con-
noisseurs of art. 1t represents the harp
list in the position of playing, and is not
only true likeness of the original. but
is in every way attractive. The harpist,
the music, the pose of the artist, and the
general effect are all that could be desir-
ed. The marble is framed in blue plush,
SO as to be hung upon the wall like any
ordinary picture.
The oil painting of the famous Poland
Spring is on its way from Boston, having
been executed to order by the owners of
the Poland Spring property especially
for the Maine building. The artist is
Scott Leighton of Boston, who has
achieved great reputation as an animal
artist, and more recently as landscape
painter.
