DROPPED DEAD.
Mrs. Matte stevens Picked up Dead on
Fore Street.

Last night little before eleven O'clock
the patrol wagon containing woman
drove up to the police station Wnen
the woman was lifted out the officers
found she was dead. The city physician
was at once sent for, but it was evident
that the woman was past all mortal aid
before the message was on its way.
In the wagon with her was P. 6. Peter
son, who says he saw her fall upon the
street and gave the alarm to officers
Chase and Riley. He said when he first
saw the woman she was standing before
Berry Berenstein's shop on Fore street,
near Franklin seeking admittance and
loudly crying Peterson Hearing his
name he stepped to her side, but was
told he was not the Peterson wanted.
So he went away. Subsequently she
came to him with the story that she had
no place to sleep and he gave her fifty
cents with which to secure lodging.
She started up the street, walked a few
steps and then fell-dead, as it was
afterwards ascertained. The officers say
that they found Peterson and the woman
talking. She told them that Peterson
was trying to get her to accompany him.
While the officers were listening to the
story the woman suddenly fell over, and
the man took to his heels.
Deputy MeCallum went to the scene
and discovered that the dead woman
was Mrs. Matte Stevens, that she was a
paregoric drinker and subject to attacks
of heart disease. She has a daughter
about ten years old in the Industrial
School at Hallowell. Upon her person
was found a letter to the little girl, dated
February IA, which she had apparently
neglected to post.
Subsequently the other Peterson was
found and taken to the police station. 1t
is said he has been intimate with the
woman He and his namesake are de-
tanned as witnesses.
In the absence of City Physician Sulli-
van DIR. w. H. Bradford, who is acting
in his place, viewed the body and decid-
ed heart failure the probable cause of
death. So Coroner. Littlefield, who was
called, decided an inquest unnecessary

scarcity of Field Labor In Mexico.


The scarcity of field labor is interfer-
ing seriously with agriculture in Mexico,
and the government has taken hold of
the matter with a view of ascertaining
to what extent this condition prevails.
A circular was recently sent out to each
of the municipalities of the republic by
the secretary of promotion for, the pur-
pose of getting statistics on this impor-
tant subject. In answer to this more
than 300 of the municipalities stated in
substance that there were not enough
field laborers to meet the present ordi-
nary demand, and that the planters and
farmers had to limit the cultivation of
their lands to the number of laborers.
On most of the large haciendas the plant
ing is done on shares. The proprietor
gives the land and the seed, and the la
borer his time and work. When the
crop is gathered division is made of the
produce,

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Julia E. ID, Carroll.

Mrs. Julia E. D. Carroll, widow of the
late John Bryce Carroll, died at her resi-
denco in this city Saturday morning.
Mrs. Carroll was % representative of one
of the oldest Portland families, q daugh-
ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Q.
Clapp, and niece of the late Hon. A.
W. Fl. Clapp. Mrs. Carroll, until her
long and fatal sickness. was leader in
society. She was also one of the most
active in the formation of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
She leaves son and daughter.
Samuel Bell.
The many friends of Mr.. Samuel Bell
will be panied to hear of his sudden
death, caused by pneumonia, at his
home on Pitts street, in Oakdale, Deer
ing, Saturday morning. He was well
known among the older business men of
Portland as a member of the boot and
shoe firm of Bell & Elder, and later as
carrying on the business alone. He re-
tired about ten years ago. He will be
sadly missed in the church, to which he
has given lifelong devotion, and by his
townsmen and friends, who have made
constant demands upon his well known
energy and business ability since he re-
tired from regular business; but, most
of all, he will be missed in the home, to
whose happiness and best interests he
gave himself with anfaltering care
Those who met him there will never for
get his cordial hospitality nor his gener-
GUS efforts to make all who shared his
home happy. Truly, a good man has
gone to his rest.
