OBITUARY.,
Death of George N. Demond.

Gorham, N. H., December 3.-Mr.
George N. Demond, postmaster at this
place, died this afternoon about o'clock
after lingering illness of several months
the last few weeks of which he has been
confined to his house and mostly to his
bed. Mr.. Demond came here several
years ago from F'reeport, Me-, and en-
tered into partnership with his brother,
William R. Demond, forming the we'll
known firm of Demond Brothers, which
continued until the death of his brother,
about three years ago. William was
postmaster at the time of his death, soon
after which George was appointed in his
place, and by whose death today Gorham
within three years lost not only two
faithful and efficient postmasters, but
two of her very best and most highly re-
spected citizens. Mr.. Demond, had he
lived until the 22d of the present month,
would have been A years old. He mar
ried Mary E. Field, the daughter of Amos
Field of Freeport, Me-, who, together
with one son, an exceedingly promising
young man, and at present a student at
law, and his mother and one sister now
survive him.
His death is severe blow not only to
his bereaved family and a large circle
of friends, but to this town, for he was
among the most foremost in all that per-
tanned to its welfare. His funeral will
take place on Wednesday here, the Ma
sons, of which order he was an honored
member, taking charge, and the remains
being taken to Locke's Mills for burialIin
the family burying grounds.
Professor John Tyndal
London, December 4.-Professor John
Tyndall died tonight at his house in
Haslemere, County Surrey. He has long
been ailing, and recently his vitality has
decreased steadily. His death was has
tened by a severe cold. He was 70 years
old.
George Payson.
The announcement of the death of
George Payson, one of the prominent
members of the Cook county bar, at his
home, 454 Dearborn avenue, Chicago, is
felt with deep regret He had been ill
since June, and had made trip to Cali
fornia in September in the hope of re-
covering his health, but had been obliged
to return to Chicago. Mr.. Payson leaves
a widow, one son, George S. Payson, a
lawyer, and one daughter, Margaret
Payson, who recently finished school.
George Payson was born in Portland, in
1924, receiving his education in the
schools of that town and at Bowdoin
College, graduating from the latter insti-
tuition. His wife was formerly Miss
Margaret Goldman of Portland.

toire to be, presented this week, ssThe
Black Flag" The play is of the sensa-
tional kind. full Of thrilling situations,
which are worked up fairly we'll, and the
denouements were greeted with APP
plause. Miss Goodwin is a bright, vivac-
ious little body, full of laughter and
tears, and carried off the character of
MED" and Topsy Carroll, very well.
Her support was fairly good. Harry E.
Ellis, an old Portland favorite, was
warmly greeted, and his characterize
ton Of Harry Glyndon, of the coast
guard. was perfect. The work of
Maurice Brennan as the hard hearted
father was we'll done, as was that of
Theo. Stark in the comedy part of the
Jew. Of the ladies Misses May Ellsworth
and Ella Lawrence are deserving of
mention for their painstaking efforts.
The specialties introduced throughout
the acts were we'll received, especially
